There should be a lense in which arrows spring from the industrial zones to the cities they are affecting, kinda like the arrows from ranged attacks. Right now it's a mess to visualize and plan accordingly.
I never build power plants, I always either do my best to be suzerain of Cardiff, or else I wait for Geothermal or Hydroelectric power. I'm obsessed with my carbon footprint, I won't even upgrade my armies any more until I can start doing Carbon Recapture.
Oh I've also started using Technocracy government, I'm finding that's working better for me than Digital Democracy, as much as I'd love to be Democratic.
And you can probably guess when I play Alpha Centauri I always play as Lady Deirdre lol.

some more lenses could do the trick.
one that filters units out would be awesome
Well, I'm still a GS noob, and I built some coal plants... wish I hadn't. A battleship is worth way more than anything power will give me.
Better just to wait on clean power that don't use precious resources.
Dang, only 2 aluminuminum in my territory...
According to the wiki (https://civilization.fandom.com/wiki/Coal_Power_Plant_(Civ6)), the power is shared when the neighbouring city centre is within six tiles of the industrial zone that has the power plant. This is how the Factory production bonus worked before GS.
But power works on a city-by-city basis so as long as the CC is powered, the IZ of that city is powered. If the IZ is in range but the city centre is not, the IZ is not powered.
Also worth noting (because I wasn't aware until I looked this up), but the Factory no longer provides production to neighbouring cities. That bonus now belongs to the oil and nuclear plants.
In summary:

In summary:
- Factory: +2 Production in this city, extra +3 with 2 Power.
- Coal plant: extra Production in this city equal to this IZ's adjacency bonus; converts 1 Coal to 4 Power to this city and City Centres within 6 tiles.
- Oil plant: +3 Production in this city, and City Centres within 6 tiles; converts 1 Oil to 4 Power to this city and City Centres within 6 tiles.
- Nuclear plant: +4 Production and +2 Science to this city, and City Centres within 6 tiles; converts 1 Uranium to 16 Power to this city and City Centres within 6 tiles.

the production bonus from power plants, according to the text description, extends to city CENTERS in range. assume it's the same for power

Now absolutely the worst building in the game if there is little adjacency.
Yep, but it’s a prerequisite for building a power plant.
I don’t know why Firaxis hate the industrial revolution so much, when they named a whole era of the game after it...

+5 production, it used to be less, why are you complaining?

Are you 100% sure about that? Or can you check in game?
I remember reading something like that and building a few factories in disbelief, to see for myself, and, I might be dreaming now, but I think I saw the regional effect of the Factories intact, only spreading around 2 production, and 5 when powered.

There is a CO2 thread open, it is in there, just found out half an hour ago you can find the % deforestation in game which is great.
Basically is an uncut world CO2 is at -20% due to firsts, once it is 10% deforested you loose that -20% and it goes up from there.

WHAT?
They must have done this because of all the people complaining how things were too cheap to produce late game.

So I'm still not sure of the best strategy now if you do want to do the IZ game. Many say that it's not worth it, but some people like me are insistent on the long game.
First of all do oil plants stack with coal plants? Is it wise to build coal plants in some IZ's and oil plants in other hoping they stack? Is it better (in terms of hammers) to switch over to oil when it's available? Or is coal generally better all around? The UI isn't really helping me out with the new power mechanics. I want to maximize hammers, but not sure what the best strat is.
