Overview
The Substation 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.
As a Infrastructure structure, the Substation belongs to the infrastructure side of the city. Introduced in the Industrial Age, the age of steam and steel.
Gameplay
Build cost. Raising the Substation costs 180 Stone and 220 Gold. Plan the spend against your current stockpiles before you commit the plot.
Footprint. It occupies a 1x1 plot, so leave room on the map before you place it.
Height. The Substation 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 1 Happiness each turn, feeding Happiness into your economy.
Upkeep. It draws 2 Gold in upkeep every turn whether or not it is producing, so weigh the running cost against the benefit.
