thank you

Great looking :)
I just find to a little to cheap compared to vanilla items.

Ah, you just build them, the game handles the rest. You don't need to do anything else. Once you build a coal plant and connect it, a truck will spawn and deliver coal every now and then from outside your city boundaries. So just plop it down and it works ;) Generally speaking it works better when there aren't any traffic jams wherever your city connects to the highway though.

I dont know how the other coal plants work in the game either, um whats area border in a truck about now?

It works like any other coal plant in the game ;P
Coal spawns at the area border in a truck and is transported to the plant on your roads, the more chaos on your roads, the less reliable that is.

how do i get coal to the plant? is it ore? whats ore do?

I don't mind that at all ;)

Great power plant. I hope you don't mind, I modified it a bit and added to a collection of several other custom power plants that I've set up with statistics that are consistent with each other. I of course gave you full credit for the original design. If this is a problem, just let me know and I'll remove my version from the Workshop.

it means realistic emission (noise, pollution) stats vs cheat emission stats. The building itself is not realistic at all, it's a fantasy style ;) (If it weren't, I'd mention the complex it's based on)

But you are totally right, and should the game ever actually handle this properly, I will even contemplate doing that. I'd love to add railway depot and storage, chutes, silos and assorted to this at some point, as an extra building even (custom coal freight station would still spawn cargo though, and not coal). But I actually tested this as first thing, when I made a custom freight station everything was extremely freaky. (meaning huge swalls of trucks would block the entire supply chain with coal). So until we get FAR superior ways to restrict what a train station does and doesn't do this would be good for looks, but horrible for the running of your city. (Sadly!)

A realistic power plant would have trains
