Can Roads "conduct" power?

[Johnnyman7 0]

Hello all,
I remember reading about a year ago of a tip that allows you to lay road that automatically conducts power...without the need of zones. I think one has to press the <ALT> or <SHIFT> key while laying the road to do so, but I cant remember exactly.

Does anybody know how to lay road that will automatically conduct power even though there are no zones next to it?

Thanks!

I have not heard of it, and the ones you mention don't do it.

There is a mod floating around somewhere that make all power and water buildings give their power and water the the whole city without lines, but I can't remember the name of it.

If you zone next to a street, road, etc, and press 'ctrl' before you release, the zones with disappear but the streets, roads, etc. will develop as if the zones were next to them, and, therefore conduct power. I don't know if NAM is required for this or not, as I've always had it loaded when doing this. Hope this helps.

I had that problem before and after installing nam, from what i understand it happens when your holding control to parcel and let go of the zone over a road or another zone or something, it costs you money like you put it down, but it never ever develops, but you can rezeone over it
