About This File

ATTENTION: Use one of the HD or SD model sets, not both. Remove the folder for the one you don't want.

This is the Troy Gasholder Building, built in 1873 for the Troy Gas Light Company in Troy, New York state, USA. Designed by Frederick A. Sabbaton, it housed a telescoping iron gasholder of the type found in Gascooker's prop packs and default Maxis industrials.

Lot info

  • Size: 3x3
  • Type: Natural gas power plant
  • Menu: Power
  • Plop cost: 900
  • Power generated: 300

The building is lotted as a 3x3 power plant with 10% of the plop cost, and 10% of the power generated as compared to the default Maxis natural gas power plant.


Historical accuracy caveats

  • The prototype lot would be close to 3x8, including a coal shed, maintance shop, and pipelines. In the interests of space, this lot presents a small storage and maintenance yard, along with a propane filling station.
  • The real building is red brick with stone courses. This lot features a prop family with two alternate versions to fit in better with different areas: brown brick, and whitewashed/boarded up. The boarded up version has no night lighting.
  • However, the small greenspace on one corner is found in the real life version, which is located in a residential neighborhood of 2-story rowhouses.

Installation
Simply unzip this folder to your plugins folder.

Removal
Bulldoze any examples of this obsolete Victorian folly which remain in your cities, then remove this folder from your plugins folder.

Upgrading
The HD models share their IDs with SD, and there have been no change to prop descriptions, so it should be possible to upgrade without bulldozing existing plops.

Remove the "Plugins/CT14/Troy Gasholder Building v1.0" folder to a backup location, then move the v1.1 folder into Plugins, as for example "Plugins/CT14/Troy Gasholder Building v1.1".
