What would you say to a geo thermal powerplant there uses anoter resource named Lava or Magma or Heat First Sturcture In Powerplant "Geo Thermal Heat Extractor" Second "Heat Conductive Pipes" Third "Geo Thermal Heat Turbine" and maybe also like nuclear reactort where you can research better stuff the "Geo Thermal Heat Extractor Pumps Up Heat From The ground resource (Lava Magma Or Heat) And Slowly Drains That Away For Power

Interesting idea! 

 

The scientist in me however points out that the whole point of geothermal energy is that it never goes away - unless the Earth's core inexplicably began to cool a billion years earlier and a billion times faster than expected, which would be bad.  So geothermal would have to keep cranking it out for free and you'd have to add on to the plant for more juice.

    i did think that more for ingame balance but yeah thats right and maybe also 2 types of heat extractors one there goes down in the ground and one there goes to a geyser the geyser heat extractor is more unefficient but cheaper and the normal one is better but more expensive

    I think a new data layer would be warranted for this. Problem is, data layers are tied to each plot, and we don't have editors for maps... Yet.
