I just don’t have the POWER captain!

[Afforess]

He's just brutally honest.

Thanks. That might even go in my sig.

WHat? AS I've said. Only crazy people would complain about a nuclear power plant, it being cleaner than almost all others, and more powerful than all others in modern times
So, really, it should only cripple happiness in the event of Green. Also, 4 is way too high for a nuclear power plant. It may produce said waste, but again, if it's a breeder reactor, no nuclear waste.

Well there is a lot of crazy people in the world
Even though, you have to agree that in the earlier days of nuclear power it did produced nuclear waste, and a lot of people were nervous about it and accidents has happen in history?
So how about we make two kinds of Nuclear Power Plant. An early kind of NPP which fit the description I gave, and a modern NPP which fit your description of a modern NPP?

And just to comment on the accident probability... It was also said that the Titanic couldn't sink...

Uh, actually, people supported it a hell of a lot more than right now. That was when everyone wanted everything nuclear powered, up to and including clocks.

yeah I've heard about that too. That was when Nuclear power were at the same level as GMO are at this point. The people involved in it can tell you all the good things they can do with it, but they either don't know of all the bad effects or they call them minute or unrealistic.

But instead of discussing the details of the Power plants, we should work more on getting the coding going. As Afforess has said, "We need more help".

So how about we move this thread to the mod Project Creation level, and then start of by making it a mod to Vanila CIV4, in order to recruit more help? And then later work it into ROM. All of this is suggested by Afforess in the beginning of this thread, I'm just repeating his suggestions because I agree with them.

 

[Afforess]

Yes, we need to start a new thread in the main C&C page, Recruiting other modders, with a well layed out page of what we want, who's in charge... etc. I think we should draw a sample page here and port it over there.

I am not sure if this would help but what about a new civic just for power (electricity) managing? Such as Fossil Fuel, Atomic, Green and High Tech.

None = Before Electricity is Discovered.

Fossil Fuel = Boost to Power for Coal, Shale, Oil and Natural Gas Power Plants.

Atomic = Boost to Power for Nuclear Power Plants.

Green = Boost to Power for Wind, Solar, Geothermal, Hydro, Tidal and Wave Power Plants.

High Tech = Boost to Power for Fusion Power Plants.

This would not only give a reason for diffrent types of power plants to be built but also give a reason not to try to build all of them. I am also not sure where power plants like biomass (trash recycling), biofuel (food crops turned into energy) or microwave (solar power from a microwave beam).

Eh, well, I'll stop bothering over the Nuclear Power Plant thingy.
I think this is a modmod that I would really enjoy.

Also, do you think maybe I should find the offtopic section and discuss Nuclear Power there?

Also, yeah, Nuclear Reactors could explode. It has happened. But it's also more likely to be hit by falling airplane parts.
Which has happened to me.
