Topic: [PBS] Power Stations
i remember some ideas about these been thrown around a very long time ago. but i cant find the thread 
Soooo...
My ideas!
I got thinking of 3 different types we could have.
Fossil Fuel Power station Station
Nuclear Reactor
Fusion Power station
ok so lets brake em down:
Fossil Fuel Power station Station
fuels: HDT & Water
Burns HDT as main fuel supply. as well as other things to keep this station powered.
consumes crap loads of water. (water comes from a new PBS see below)
This kind of power station is good old earth tech used on nia. we found out HDT burns just like OIL! 
this kind of power station is cheaper to build. but will cover basic needs of a new founded colony.
but it is stable & when destroyed thru pvp deals only a small amount of AOE.
Nuclear Reactor
Fuels: Radioactive ore (uranium for arguments sake name doesnt metter) & water (Uranium comes from a new PBS see below)
yet again earth tech used on Nia. a New radio active ore is found that can be used to power a Nuclear furnace.
this ore is rare tho & should be hard to find. but the station doesnt need much to power it. How ever this power plant needs water to function as well.
Power out put is higher than a fossil plant & can supply a larger settlement.
Blowing up a Nuclear Power plant in pvp tho will yield a large explosion... so stand back!
Fusion Power station
Fuel: Enriched Uranium Plasma
Enriched Uranium Plasma Is made in a PBS called lets say.... Fusion plasma enrichment centrifuge (FPEC).
An FPEC will require the full out put of a Nuclear Power plant. Uranium is mixed with a number of other ores & what not to make Enriched Uranium Plasma.
The power out put from this Station is massive & can power most of an island. But would be expensive & dangerous.
Blowing this up in PVP is hard ( OMG loads of HP) But when it blows it goes into melt down & will vaporize every thing in a 3km radius. buildings included. (even walls 
)
Water purification plant
Must be built within 100m of the ocean. Produces water needed for fossil fuel & Nuclear power plants.
Deep core mining rig
Used to extract Uranium out of the ground. would require dynamic re-spawning of ore veins as they deplete.
just a few ideas i had feel free to pick it to pieces 
edit: i did find the old post but oh well lol.
The rest of you guys are Hacks
PS. I got my Highways & stopped playing b4 they came in & have never used them! ...... Irony much ?
