i just want to get this straight about the various power plants in the game. i think i just wastes alot of turns building one and then another and then another thinking they all stack. can some just verify if the following is correct with a quick yes or no?

1. there are only 4 types plants: coal, hydro, solar, and nuclear. they each improve the output of the factory. building one will replace another if already built.

2. coal causes pollution, nuclear causes less, and hydro and solar produces none.

3. nuclear has a chance of meltdown, and that only happens when the city is in disorder.

4. building the hoover dam puts a hydro plant in ALL cities, regardless of whether it's has access to a river or not. and with the hoover dam, there is no need to build solar plants in all your cities.

5. the manufacturing plant doesn't affect the factory output. its like a "second" factory in the same city.

Thanks
Dan
 
I'll answer some of your questions.

1) Yes
2) Yes only to coal. Nuke has 0 pollution but the highest production.
3) Yes
4) Yes and I'm not sure. I know the hydro plant is there for a city without water but I haven't been able to confirm that it does increase production.
5) Don't know
