Electricity along roads

[YUUU 65]

Hi everyone!

 

I'm building a rural region with lots of open space. However the issue is that electricity doesn't run along roads. So if you have rural communities and houses spread out you all need to connect them by those giant ugly high voltage lines.

 

Does anyone know an alternative? Is there a mod that makes electricity run alongside roads or maybe even better, power that runs on wooden pylons?

 

Greetings

I know an alternative. I made a modular avenue set, and discovered that it works as an electric transmitter as well.

 

I'll make you a set of "electric" roads if you'd like. Just tell me which type of roads are connecting your remote areas.

Why just not make all roads with electicity?

I personally use these two: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=418320047(Power relay)

Because I don't know how to do that, I don't code.

 

I just mod assets : )

That relay one is basically the same thing as an "electric road" asset that I offered to make. You can also make them yourself. you can make electric bushes on an empty 1x1 park that will work the same.

This is helpfull! Ultimate 727 I'll try and make those myself , I didn't know it was possible . Thanks TPB that would be to kind. However since there are alternatives available I don't think i need the roads any longer. I'm still quite surprised someone is so nice to make such things only for one person!

To connect powered and unpowered areas I made some simple parks in the asset editor but set their park effects to zero. They do not effect happiness when I put them in place or when I delete or move them. They are just grass with some trees. I called them "vacant lots."

Almost 4 years after this topic being posted, finally we have a mod for this.
