yes, I'm sure of it, but it's not so much a characteristic of Soviet avant-garde, rather than what was broadly common back in the day throughout the industrial world. But anyway I think for this building a brick job would be a major pain in the ass, and the result probably mediocre, as I didn't map it with a brick texture in mind.
If you happen to have photos of large surfaces with early soviet brick masonry however, I'd love it if you share them, as they would very likely come in handy later on.

Naked brick is also very common, be sure. I can provide you with a lot of naked brick industrial facilities of early soviet era.

Godnota )

Heh, I love how you make comparisons with the vanilla versions and remark on things I didn't even notice.
The price tag is indeed low compared to the vanilla plant, as the 30s one is brick-made, and hence requires little concrete which is way more expensive.
About the coal consumption I didn't really pay attention initially, but it's good that it's consuming more than the vanilla plant, if only to simulate better the lesser efficiency of a 30s plant compared to a 60s plant.
For the same reason it employs more people because I'm sure a lot more shoveling had to be done back then xP

hehehe thanks ^_^ I hope the first favorite is not Battersea tho... >_< :P

Definitely second favourite this Mod Monday!! :D

Great work!

I made a Mod Monday video with your mod in it.

I absolutely love the plant

this one is brick made tho, in terms of materials, but from what I understand during the constructivist/Avant-garde era of Soviet architecture (~1920-1935) most buildings were finished with a coat of paint/plaster/whatever material that was at the time.
Naked brick was more common in the pre-revolutionary times.
doing a naked brick variant for this one would be a major pain in the ass actually. I'd have to work on aligning the mapping accordingly, which takes me weeks for a job well done, and something tells me that because of the many angles on this building the final result would still be a bit of an eyesore. But hey, maybe other brick projects will come in the future ^_^

Looks really good, like the reworked textures. Thanks for sharing :)

Nice old power plant! Really like it. Can you add also brick texture variant for it? It was more typical

I like it :)
