For people who thinks this is under-powered, this is not. You must have a dam to maximize the energy output of hydro-power. But dams are very expensive to build, even Quebec (in Canada) is a world superpower in hydro-power and yet they take at least 10 years to build a whole dam. And that despite the Quebec government is social-liberal and have an absolute monopoly on the local energy market.

So a small well instead is a good choice if you want some cheaper energy but not having to trade your soul for it. And they just make sense they don't produce much.

@neigrok you can change it in building.ini file with $PRODUCTION eletric 25

Идея отличная. Сделано красиво. Но 3.8 МВт за такую дикую цену? При такой цене строительства и содержания, отдача энергии должна быть от 10 МВт и выше. Иначе красиво, но смысла нет.

I just can't seem to place this. It says either "building cannot be placed on water", then I move it one pixel and its "some parts of this build must be built on water. What am I missing here?

It works, though it's really frustrating to try to find a place for it.

I cant find the building. Where do i need to navigate to find it in the menu? Thanks :)

Produces no electricity ! Doesn't seem to work anymore

@Araxiel useful info thanks! changed mine as well

How do you place this building? I tried with landscape editor, it's always either too much on land or too much in water.

Really nice building, but massively underpowered (pun intended) if you ask me.
I decided to more than double it's power output. If someone else wants to do that with, simply go to
*\steamapps\workshop\content\784150\2186454765\water_eletric and in building.ini change line 19 $PRODUCTION eletric 8 to another value.

I changed the value to $PRODUCTION eletric 20 which puts it at 400 MWh, which is lower than the vanilla Solar Power Plant (which does 560MWh)

could you make a less productive version with only the old part, seems like it shouldn't be hard to make?

@crazzy_cat : I had same problem as you ; I uninstall all outgoing lines and reinstall everything, and it worked.

@Von Blankenburg, in-game hours are 60 per day, directly correlating to real time minutes. So don't divide it by 24, as that is a real day and not the in-game day.

@Kabuki That's not what I mean. A given nominal capacity of 160 MWh/day (as it says in the tooltip) should – from a general physical perspective – calculate down as follows: 160 MWh/24 h = 6.67 MWh/h = 6.67 MW. This means that the plant should be able to output 6.67 MW. But it can only output 2.4 MW. But why?

Von Blank, I think the circuit breaker can only show current energy drain. Voltage however shows how well you're supplying your grid so if your voltage is high it means you're providing more electricity than it drains but if it's low you're providing too little electricity compared to how much it's drained.

I don't quite get how the game calculates the actual power output of the plant. In the description, it says that it should produce 160 MW/d, which should result in an equivalent of 6.67 MW of instantanious power. Nevertheless, the circuit breaker reaches only about 2.4 MW. Can somebody explain that to me?

usless plant, only produdes 54kV @20people workiung

Very nice, but very difficult to place, almost impossible...

thanks

where do I find the plant?

having so much difficulty placing it :(

Now we need a small Hydro power plant for little rivers too...

Thanks for this great mod!

@Luca_K04 A power plant will only produce what the demand its at the moment, it has a 4 MW capacity but your nation is only consuming 0.2 MW. Therefore, I recommend to export energy to the border so your power plant is functioning efficiently, it is also a good source of Roubles (a few MW should give you a few thousands per month).

I don't understand if it doesn't work or I missing something...
Even with a 20/20 full capacity, the productivity is almost zero. Sometimes 0.20 mw.
Why?

Здорово! И к тому же это просто красиво!

dams are in the road map this is awsome thankyou

Fantastic. This is really a great item to add to game.

Game is still in development, they may see reason soon

@rexgold31, yes a dam would be great, unfortunaly the game coding dont let it to make :-(

Would be nice if it made into official buildings.

Thank God at least the first hydroelectric power station appeared in the game! and when will there be a real hydroelectric power station with a dam????

great job

just tried, great work!

Hydro power was relied on in early times before nuclear became an option. This is an addition that should have been there from the beginning. Thank you!

Thanks for the awesome work people like you keep this game going!!!!!

Thanks for producing this, great idea. I also like the fuel powered one in the workshop.
Thanks again for sharing.

good works

great idea!

👍🏻

Wonderful !! ;)
