The Coal Power Station is an infrastructure building of the Industrial Age that holds the city together: it provides the services, storage, defence, or power that let everything around it run.

Gameplay

Build cost. Raising the Coal Power Station costs 600 Stone and 500 Gold. Plan the spend against your current stockpiles before you commit the plot.

Footprint. It occupies a 3x2 plot, so leave room on the map before you place it.

Height. The Coal Power Station is a single-floor building, which keeps its layout simple but makes the surrounding road and service network carry more of the planning weight.

Output. Once built it produces 60 Energy each turn, feeding Energy into your economy.

Upkeep. It draws 6 Gold in upkeep every turn whether or not it is producing, so weigh the running cost against the benefit.
