Power Transmission Without Lines

[MutantPlatypus]

So I tried Pegasus' Underground Conduit, but it isn't quite right for me.   I'd like a lot that is fairly transparent or would fit well in a forest and on slopes, but also transmits power.  What lots transmit power?

[semi_crazy]

Every lot Im pretty sure.  I seen a MD that a guy made a tree that transmitted power.  He just placed it every 6 tiles or w/e

While trees in god mode generally do not conduct electricity, any ploppable tree lots from the mayor mode would. I tend to use PEGs mtp trees. If you space them out every 4 or 5 tiles they tend to blend pretty well into your landscape and of course make that electricity link you are looking for.

Of course, it would only take a short time to make your own plopable tree lots in PIMX, using any tree model you fancy.

I think abvcs over at simpeg/simtrop made such a tree lot usings Pegs pines.

Thanks everyone for your help.  I was having one of those moments.  Yes, all ploppable lots conduct electricity.  Don't touch two of them at once, and don't touch any one of them while you're standing on/touching the ground.  Or anything else.  Just don't touch, 'em ok?  I'm an electrical engineer, I know these things.  You will die. Only let qualified electricians touch your electrified lots.  If they have a no-power zot, they're ok.

They just need a day or two to make the connection.  I had a BSC Forest Track running up to the lot requiring power, and I THOUGHT the forest track wasn't conducting (its just dirt, after all).  Turns out it starts conducting after a day or so.  Thanks anyway, guys.  I'm sure someone else will find this helpful.

There is also another method:

- Place a road
- Pick a zone tool.
- Press the Control key during the zoning. Zone one tile next to the road and the road itself.
- The zones become invisible (and do not grow anything), but you have an invisible power line!
