Impact of Hoover Dam

And there is no other plant there?

No freebie from Hoover?

vmxa Said you don't need a river if a different city has built the hoover dam. So that might be why. Because the solar plant replaced my hydro plant in the city that didn't even have a river. So to make it clear, say you build a hoover dam in your capital city all the other cities river or no river will get the hydro plant.
 
But is it true that you need a factory to get the hydro benefit from Hoover?

It is indeed true. So if your city on that continent with HD doesn't have a factory, the free Hydro Plant is basically useless. So rush one to get the benefit.
 
You can see if that is the case by saving as a test. Sell the solar plant and see if the town shows a hydro plant.

As to the boost, that is easy to check as well. Look at teh number of shields you get in a given town. The base shields will not be increase by the hydro, if you do not have a factory.

Some towns are not worth building a facotry in as they do not NET enough shields. 50% boost in a 100% corrupt city will not net any extra shields. It will net extra maint cost though for the factory.
 
If I'm not mistaken, nuclear plants don't melt down on the turn that the city starts rioting, and there is a chance that it'll meltdown afterwards.
 
Meltdowns arent so bad, I had one happen and the city went into WLTKD! I guess the unhappy people all lived near the nuclear plant? Maybe that's why they were unhappy!:lol:
