In which local file do you go to make this modifications? I would like to do my owns

yeah I was thinking about that.. It would be nice if solar took into account the biome, generating more power near the equator (tropical>temperate>european>boreal), and adding variability for clouds. I just don't know how to do that :)

I have made a variating wind mod also, but it can be a bit buggy, and useless because no other power is variating with it

hi condac. there are many 8mw water installations, and 4mw on water and land. of course that is peak output, and usually it is producing less. For that, a mod like variable wind speed is better than limiting the top output, imo. still I can appreciate the effort that went into researching this.

How I thought when selecting wind turbines 2MW: The biggest in the world is 10MW, but real world examples show that when the wind don't blow all year round it only produces 23% of its maximum capacity in year average. Game don't have variating wind conditions so 2MW is the value I have selected.

Thanks for Input! I have done lots of "wikipedia-research" to get Numbers :)
The biggest nuclear power plant I have found is Oskarshamn 3 in Sweden and it produces 1450 MW of elecricity (and swedish wikipedia states its the biggest in the world of that type, subject to change?), typical Nuclear power plant is 1000MW. People often present values for a total site with about 5 Plants, and then you get the numbers up to around 3000MW total. I used the average nuclear power production in Sweden and during a year with downtimes for service total production is 741MW per plant (954MW installed capacity). Not to far from games already 640MW

What did you change the power values to? As the true odd thing in this game is the low power output on the nuclear power plant, producing only 640 MW, roughly 70k people worth power. Realistic nuclear power plants go up a lot higher, the order of 3000 MW and providing electricity for close to half a million people is not out of the ordinary. Neither are 8 MW wind turbines.
