Grrrrrr

So I'm playing a bit of SC2000. I've built a nice thriving city. Eventually as one of my old coal plants explodes, I decide to replace it with a new Nuclear. Nothing wrong with that right?

DAMN! A few year's after it's placed, all of the sudden there's an explosion, and I see fire and little radioactive-symbols all over my city. Damn fire took out half the city.

Are you playing with a patch that fixes the water supply bug? If not, your pain is just beginning.

[mrmitchell]

Water supply bug?

I wish exciting things like that happened to me when I played Sim City. I never got a meltdown that I didn't start on my own.

It pretty much sums up the genre that you wish for a nuclear accident to relieve the boredom.

Yeah in the version out of the box you spend ages sorting out your water distribution system just to find that it inexplicably stops working.

Osweld, perhaps if you played a bit more carelessly?

[mrmitchell]

All the fires have been put out. I no longer have any Industry save a few tiles, no electricity source, and I'm broke.

Now what?

[Space05us]

take out a loan?

[mrmitchell]

In sc2000? How?

[mrmitchell]

OH YEAH! Thanks

(And then my game crashed and I was too busy with rebuilding that I didn't save )

I forgot how easy SC2000 is. I just built a city (its small still only about 15000 people in it) and it has 1000 MW of hydro power and 200 MW of wind power, soon the Coal power plant will go poop and I will have 1000-1200 MW total clean power. Not like they complain about the smog in SC2K anyway

and Im sorry to hear that mrmitchell

[mrmitchell]

Damnit, do I just have some kind of ****ing magnetic attraction to nuclear disaster!? Osweld said he's never had it before, and I just had it, again.

[Space05us]

is it hooked up to a water supply? You may want to consider hydro and wind power, the power plants last forever, barring disaster (literaly) It is expensive though.
