Power Station

Burns coal to light the city. Noisy and smoky — keep it away from homes.

In your city

The Power Station unlocks in the Industrial Age. It uses 18 stone per minute to do so. It brings Power to every home within 7 tiles, which lets houses reach level 9 once they have every earlier need. It makes nearby homes less happy, so keep it away from houses. It employs 6 workers. Its upkeep is 6 gold per minute; with an empty treasury it runs at half strength.
