Just wanted to say great work for discovering and sharing this with us

@ cola98765 I've made a mod using your proof-of-concept! Check out Workshop Item 3026792638 .

Thank you for sharing your solution!

@balacvlad in theory it's possible, just in place of 7.50 add 17.50 or 37.50.
The problem however would be with connections as biggest (basegame) cable even above ground is 18MW, so when creating one would need to add multiple HV inputs

Thanks for creating this object.
Can you make one of 20 MW or 40 MW?

Революция - это тот же чит. Но глобально.

Да нет там никакой революции, товарищ! Есть чит.

Попробовал сделать тоже самое, что и автор с трансформатором и переключателем (высокого и низкого напряжения). Эффект поразительный. Решается вопрос не только с повышенной мощностью. Появляется еще несколько неожиданных возможностей. Устройства подключаются к друг другу в радиусе его действия (по типа подстанции) вообще без проводов в том числе и к электростанции. Спасибо за идею. Тут есть, где вдумчиво покопаться. Товарищи, энергетическая революция в Советской Республике произошла! Ура!!!!!!

I tried to do the same with a transformer and a switch (high and low voltage). The effect is amazing. The issue is solved not only with increased power. There are a few more unexpected possibilities. The devices are connected to each other within its radius of action (according to the type of substation) without wires at all, including to the power plant. Thanks for the idea. There is a place to dig thoughtfully. Comrades, the energy revolution has taken place in the Soviet Republic!

considering the amount of electricity required for dense industrial sectors, aswell as the support infrastructure required to maintain such high densities, having a singular high voltage substation such as this would be far simpler than having to spam multiple substations. which would seriously complicate the power grid, rather than the ease and efficiency of just hooking up a HV underground power line to one substation, and calling it a day

The official limit sucks.

@GoRun 20K pop in 500m square is totally achievable and will be about 6MW or actual power, however bigger problems for me were with water pumping.

Anyway, this is just a proof of concept, I'm not actually using it, this is not balanced and as said I would use bigger more expensive buildings to balance it out. This is more so you don't have to lay down 4 underground wires (with that 6MW example) and think of how to place those 4 buildings

100k pop in 600m circle is bizarre city density :) there is a reason devs made 2.3mw limit. Bravo for hacking hard coded limit :)

Thanks, I'd use one that was 100MW. It's bizarre how many you need for a normal city block.
