About This File

April fools! Congratulations to the 1000 who fell for it. The prank is over. Do not download it now - it will blow up your cities.

 

(For anyone who wants a blowup lot, feel free to download.)

 

This is an anti-pollution plant designed to superseed all others. The device removes all the pollution (both air and water) from an area of about 10 tiles wide. It is also self-powered (hence being modded as a power plant) and should appear in the utilities menu.

 

Pollution is sucked down a spiral tube into a black hole, which is contained inside an energy field (no chance of your cities being sucked into it). Clean air and water are returned via hawking radiation. The black hole glows at night due to interations with dark energy and subatomic flow. Blah, blah, technobabble... etc.

 

And here are the stats

Plop cost: §2300

Monthly cost: §350

Bulldose cost: §1500

Air pollution removed: 255 over 10 tiles

Water pollution removed: 255 over 10 tiles

Lot size: 2x2

Water consumed: 0

Flammability 255: (so keep it well covered)

Max fire stage: 1

Dependencies: None!

 

 

Disclaimer: Do not use if you are going for eyecandy/realism, since it won't look very realistic in your cities.

This didn't affect me because I just saw it. This jerk shouldn't be allowed to up load. May you receive a virus that formats your hard drive.

"May you receive a virus that formats your hard drive." Lol, I actually did. Long story short: I tried to install Windows on my Mac, and it erased the boot sector. I was NOT pleased. >:-( Be careful what you wish for, asshole.

I put it right in the center of my best city, named Chicago, and it just exploded. then all the residents moved out. So I made another Chicago, and the new Chicago I had to delete. because it was just a terrible city. so Im never gonna buy any of your stuff again.

btw, just wondering, since I'm making a futuristic city, would it be possible to make an actually functional, or at least eye-candy, version of this? :golly:

I can't believe that after two years people are still falling for this. Serves them right for not reading. I wonder how many of them also complain about brown boxes.

you know this building gives me an idea for amovie. where a city is so polluted that all the people there will die if it isn't taken care of, so this guy (secretely an evil genius) offers to design a device to get rid of all the pollution  if the mayor can provide the materials  and labor to help him make it. so he makes it and it takes care of the pollution as it should for a few days, the evil genius is hailed as a hero, but then somebody finds out that the device has a bomb inside it that detonates in the next day, and needs to convince the mayor to send in a strike team to kill the evil genius and shut down the device so the bomb can be removed. so they do it then after the bomb is disposed up the machine is turned back on, the city is saved and they share the plans for the device (minus the bomb schematic that was with it) with other cities near theirs so they can solve their pollutiion problems too, (since the pollution from their citty spilled over to a few others).or something like that. that'd be an awesome movie.
