I couldn't find a picture, but i always made those hokey power plant where you raise one tile, add water, hydros all around, and a wind on top. I think I saw it in a magazine once as a weak option that is cheapest (beacause it lasts forever).

oh yea i never got into the terrain manip/hydro stuff but it was always a voodoo magic i was watching someone do

FS Shifty + Stalefish Tweak into a (somewhat sloppy) Eggplant Nose Pick

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago (3 children)

An eggplant is a handplant variation lip trick while a nosepick is a BS disaster into an overcrook stall instead of a lipslide stall, therefore making an eggplant nosepick impossible nerd

You probably meant a beanplant, which is a boneless variation where the board is popped like a no comply into a nosegrab before the footplant instead of an earlygrab indy footplant jump.

Wind. I like my power plants like I like my men: clean, petite, and it takes dozens to get the job done

Oil, but it's okay because I purchase a tree for every carbon ton emittted or something trollface

Microwave because space based solar rectennas are awesome and hilarious

Solar looks like a giant death ray pointed up to fire at God so naturally I choose that

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

Just flip the polarity on that bad boy and it might blow up the Sun

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 day ago

Fusion bc that number is the biggest

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

Solar because it takes up so much space that I can stop worrying about this liberal zoning nonsense or "make a police station to reduce crime" bullshit and focus on just being one huge solar farm.

Gimme the nuclear wind combo.

Nukes make windmills spin faster giving them a boost in output.

don't forget wind power

Bottom center. Orbital solar is going to be the energy source of fully automated luxury gay space communism. Especially if we can't get fusion to work (there's no guarantee that reactor based fusion will ever be feasible, the laws of physics don't owe it to us).

[–] [email protected] 2 points 17 hours ago

Just looked this up. Why aren't we doing this! Get that removed elon to send the satellites off, do something useful for a change. Do that and we'll all start calling Twitter X.

Wind Power, because I have a huge stockpile of aether crystals and a lot of faith.

I liked putting little wind turbines on hills

That and the solar death ray

Hydro Electric = 200Mw for $4000 which is $20 per Mw.

This is more efficient than all others available at the start while also being clean.

Replace it later with Microwave when acquired because it is marginally cheaper. $17.5 per Mw

Replace it later again with Fusion at $16 per Mw.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm guessing hydro-electric also requires a water supply.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yes it can only be built on waterfall tiles. This however can be landscaped by the player by simply making a hill and placing water on it.
