Three League Island - Power for Aulton

simmering

1,006 Views

Three League Island is the location of two nuclear power plants: The older reactor to the West and the newer one with four cooling towers to the East. Two bridges, one for trains, one for cars connect to the mainland which has a secured area with offices, support buildings and a small harbour. The power connection to the South is via high pylons and to the North via undersea cable.

This is excellent work! Scale is always a limitation in SC4 so I like projects that illustrate just how big infrastructure like this needs to be in real life.

Was there much custom lotting necessary to put this together?

Thank you. I didn't do any lotting at all (I wouldn't know how to).

We have a battleship city journal. Why not have a powerplant city journal? :D

Yes, the community has room for many tribes *;). But this is not a powerplant city journal, just the first entry.

I didn't think powerplants could be made to look so pretty. The scale is great work, it's the difference btween someone like me who just wants to build something pretty and someone who knows how every aspect of a city is supposed to work. 

And thank you for uploading the pictures in a format I can view here in the UK.

I believe that we are going to hire a few engineers from your region in Saitama to build a power plant. It looks so well done !!

Starting it off right!  A well-developed power grid is one of the building blocks of a thriving city.  The attention to detail as well as the overall scaling of the power plant are great!  You've even got the other buildings such a facility needs.  Well done!
