Large Power Poles on Water

Post by nova4x »

Given the addition of elevated rails which are able to cross bodies of water, and other fluids. I think it befitting to allow large power poles, or potentially a crafted variant of them, to be placeable over water/other fluids. It's quite common to just run your power lines with your rails and having to bring landfill to do so now with the fancy elevated rails feels less than ideal.

If an alternate recipe where to be in the cards then it could just use refined concrete much like the elevated rails and appear with a foundation inside of the water. Visually I think this would pair quite nicely with the elevated rails.

If this has already been suggested, which I figure it has, my bad. I spent some time looking for keywords and couldn't find a post that matched what I was envisioning.

:idea: Seems fair to me!
I actually think this is a bad idea now, because it trivializes Fulgora. :?

This really seemed like a no-brainer when they introduced elevated rails in the Friday Facts

Just take the rail base and stick a power pole on it

Quoting this because it settles the issue and people may not have noticed your edit.
