About This File

The Waste-to-energy mod changes several characteristics of SimCity’s waste-to-energy incinerator.  In real life these incinerators produce little pollution (see www.wte.org/waste.html for more info).  I drastically lowered the pollution it creates as a result.  They are also able to handle more garbage so I upped the capacity.  It is now able to handle the trash a full-sized city produces.  I increased the power output to 7000mW.  I also upped the monthly cost to $2500 per month and its build cost to $150000.

Id say this is a pretty good mod. I do agree with the excessive amount of pollution maxis put in but i guess it was to balance things out in a way.

The pollution maxis put in is strictly against E.P.A. standards. Other countries have even STRICTER regulations!

Very good job, I was expecting someone do that. Now, it's possible to incinerate more garbage without building many plants. Thanks to you.

Thank you soo much! This is EXACTLY what I was looking for. No more hack job I did, I wanted something closer to realism in this area. No more dozen or more w2e's for a single city.

I always countered this by placing a relatively large swath of dense forest between these plants and the rest of my city. Maxis SC4 lot exchange had some greenspace elements that have dense forests ready to plop. some are 1x1 2x3 and I think there is one that is 3x6 place enough of these, and you will see dramatic decreases in plooution.

This is good nice mod but you can't change it with sc4tool not being nasty just saying. 10/10 love the price of it to that real.

I eventually want to create a custom waste-to-energy incinerator. The existing structure makes a state-of-the art technology look a like an outdated, nitrous oxide spewing industrial plant. Maxis, get real for once.

Good mod. The pollution was a bit much, but it was also a way to balance things out. Definitely better with the higher prices though. 10

Good job, but I'm using one that SimGoober made that does the job. Not sure of the exact stat differents between yours and hit but I've noticed a huge improvement. 8/10
