I'm posting a link to a collection I made that will contain this mod. I am currently working on an updated and compatible list of every mod that you would need for a "modern" cities build. Help me out? love your work btw

No issue when there is no wind? Okay, most are going to think I am an idiot, but as a as the author, you understand why I am asking.

Thanks. I managed to delete them once I had the electricity panel open. :)

1.) Can't say anything about that, because I haven't played the game in a while now. Paradox changes so much with each cashgrab... I mean Update/DLC, that you might be right, but I don't know how to fix that.

2.) That is because they are not really cables. I just made use of some game mechanics to create something similar to underground cables. The game actually didn't have that in mind... you could say that I tricked the game. While the game wants you to build above the waterpipes for example, it doesn't allow to built on top of these cables and I can do nothing about that. Sorry.

I have two issues:
1. I experienced a flood and they were affected. They showed up as abandoned buildings with the little icon and I had to delete them (which it let me do).

2. my MAIN issue is deleting or moving them when they are NOT affected by water. Even though they are "underground" I can't place parks/plazas or any asset on top of them. Even if I switch the bulldoze view to underground the cables are not visible. I've even tried clicking away on the spot but it won't budge. I also tried the MovIt tool but they are not visible. Help please :)

Thank you for this, it's not that power cables don't have their place, but for some of my cities they just ruin the aesthetic. These are great.

@Corncuck @Danny

it should never be possible to build roads or buildings on top of a placed powercable. but with moveit (awesome mod), you can move all kind of stuff (roads, buildings, props etc) around, so you can place this under a road for example.

So I have been working with this for the last few days, and now I can't place the poles on top of roads anymore! How to fix?

does this interfere with placing buildings or any of that?

Thanks again for giving me credit on this concept... means a lot to me.

Always something one doesn't consider...

Normally it won't happen that the underground cables are flooded, but after creating a superflood on purpose, I saw that you are right... it is possible (maybe you built a damn that changed the water levels much).

But I found a solution --> The game "thought" that the underground cables were a power plant. I changed it, so the game now "thinks" that the underground cables are offshore windturbines, which seem to be unfloodable. I checked it again with an all-destroying superflood and the underground cables remained the only thing working in my city ;)

Check it out and feel free to comment any issues.

Is there a way to plop these without having the flooding symbol?

i was actually thinking about a song from eric burdon: no valley too deep, no mountain too high ;)

The slogan should be "No water too deep, no slope to steep" :D:
