Factory/Power Bugginess

[ganchrow]

1. Adding power to a city with a factory bumps up the production bonus from 25% to 50%. As such, I can only assume that there is no advantage to building multiple Power Plants in a single city (Coal, Nuclear, Hydro, Three Gorgess Dam Wonder on continent), but nevertheless the game still allows you to do this. To me this seems a bug.

(Question: If you already have a coal plant, and then you build, say, a hydro plant on top of it does the hydo plant render the coal plant completely obsolete and eliminate the latter's health penalty?)

I think Firaxis erroneously assumed that now buildings cost nothing to maintain there would be no reason to wish to remove one, and as a result I don't think you can get rid of coal plants. The coal plant health penalty does seem to be retained when the Three Gorges dam is built, and as it no longer gives any benefitsIt should definitely be possible to destroy it.

I really dislike how power plants are handled in the game. The different kinds of power plants clutter up the build list if a city already has power and it's not possible to decomission a coal or nuclear power plant if one so desired, like if Three Gorges was built.

I'd like to add more power plants with my mod, but they would merely add to the clutter.
