WALL-TO-WALL INDUSTRY
Acme Boiler Factory by jestarr
1 - INTRODUCTION/OVERVIEW
As the first upload in a series of IRM W2W lots based on BAT models made by other artists, I present to you Acme Boiler Factory, a BAT made by jestarr.
Unlike most other industrial lots, this one comes in three versions. Factory 1 consists of only the main building, Factory 2 of only the side building. Factory 3 has both buildings on one lot. The boiler factories will provide 400 I-D jobs (Factory 1), 180 I-D jobs (Factory 2), and 580 I-D jobs (Factory 3), respectively. You can choose to keep them all or pick whatever version you like best.
The following lots are included:
- 6x3 straight (Factory 1), Stage 2
- 6x4 straight (Factory 1), Stage 2
- 2x5 left cap* (Factory 2), Stage 1
- 2x5 right cap* (Factory 2), Stage 1
- 5x2 straight, version A (Factory 2), Stage 1
- 5x2 straight, version B (Factory 2), Stage 1
- 5x6 straight, version A (Factory 3), Stage 2
- 5x6 straight, version B (Factory 3), Stage 2
- 6x5 straight (Factory 3), Stage 2
*can be used to "cap off" a block of W2W rowhouses front and back towards one side, see screenshots
In keeping with the other IRM stuff, the job numbers are intended for be in line with Maxis stuff if you use Toroca's Industrial Jobs Quadrupler. Since you cannot zone large coherent areas with W2W industrial and the lots can be complemented with fillers, the resulting job density will, in fact, be not that excessive. For the same reason, growth stages for IRM W2W are generally kept low.
2 - USE
If you extract this archive to your root plugins folder, it should create a folder IRM\IRM W2W Expansion\[NAME OF BAT], where [NAME OF BAT] represents the name of this download item. Within that folder, you will find all the game-relevant files and a sub-folder containing the HTML readme and some screenshot(s).
If you no longer wish to use this download, proceed as follows:
- Bulldoze all lots pertaining to this download
- Save all the cities and exit the game when you're done bulldozing
- Remove the associated files from your plugins folder
Hint: Just to be sure, I recommend moving the undesired files somewhere else and doing some checks before you delete them permanently. This way, if it turns out you forgot to bulldoze something, you can add it back in temporarily until you're done.
3 - DEPENDENCIES
IRM W2W Base Pack
Since this is an extension to the IRM, all the dependencies of the original IRM base pack still apply.
In addition to this, you'll need the original upload of the BAT to see the buildings:
Acme Boiler Factory - only the .sc4model file is required.
NOTE: You must be registered and logged into the BSC File Exchange over at SC4Devotion in order to see the download button. Please bear in mind that there are separate logins for the forums and for the file exchange.
If you want to have the option of blocking the enclosed lots from growing temporarily, for example when you want to go back to regular (i.e., non-W2W) IRM industry for a while, you can use the IRM W2W Expansion Blocker v1.0 (or higher) from January 23, 2015 (or later)
