Title: Non-Nuclear Power Station... that can power 24 medium tiles
Post by: Kitsune on July 11, 2010, 04:00:02 PM
Or atleast that realistically looks like it could provide power for 24 medium tiles / 1.5m sims so I can modify it. I have a nuclear power plant that I modified to provide this kind of power.....  but want something non-nuclear.

For that I'd use Somy's Microwave Rectenna Plant (http://members3.jcom.home.ne.jp/somy000/p4.htm). :)

Definitely my first thought as well.  But you might want to start with the STEX version (http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/details.cfm?id=11118) of this power plant, which was modded by Equinox to have much bigger stats.  That version provides 528,000 MWh of power, compared to the original's 40,000 MWh.  It also has a lifetime of 1400 years.  I use it to power a large city of 3.6 million Sims, and I think it's only running at about 50% capacity.  You may not even need to change the stats.

There is a §1,000,000 plop cost, however.

heh... I start every city with 200000000 dollars, and use taxes as demand modifier.... so plop costs dont terrify me. Afterall, said nuclear power plant I modded has 1.2 million MWh...

I use this power plant [Fred-Brain Power Plant pictured below] exclusively.  It was made by fredfree over at Freeland, a SC3KU community.  Never run out of power, though I have to replace the plant every 100 years or so.
