Overview

The Power Plant is an infrastructure building of the Modern Era that holds the city together: it provides the services, storage, defence, or power that let everything around it run.

As a Infrastructure structure, the Power Plant belongs to the infrastructure side of the city. Introduced in the Modern Era, the age of glass and the wired grid.

Gameplay

Build cost. Raising the Power Plant costs 1 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 Power Plant 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 80 Energy each turn, feeding Energy into your economy.

Upkeep. It draws 20 Gold in upkeep every turn whether or not it is producing, so weigh the running cost against the benefit.

Interior & support

Use the Power Control Room support view for the Power Plant. Its interior support is a control-room style station: operators watch capacity, coverage, and network pressure so the building's service role stays understandable.
