Nuclear Power

[Blackfriar]

Sorry for the seemingly simple question, but I haven't found an answer in the manual or online...

How much power is output from a [basic] nuclear plant? I can figure out the modifiers, but where is the initial output listed? Thanks.

Hey Blackfriar.

I asked that same question a few months ago - check out this thread:

In the end I did my own testing and confirmed that at base tech levels, you get 1.5 energy for each power plant. I tested this on v1.04.

This is increased by each tech level you research thereafter.

In my game I ended up with 20 Nuclear power plants, and with all relevant techs researched in the late 50s I still only got a grand total of 181 energy produced...

So in my experience, the IC required to build Nuclear power plants is a complete waste of time and needs to be buffed in a future patch!!

Did you put them in high Infra areas to see the effect because I've got 100 and it's providing quite a bit of energy.

Yikes! Thanks so much for the response, even though it's not what I hoped for...
