Invernessen

Before I release U-Build-It updates on ST and SC4D, I'm going to post them here first. The difference will usually be only a few days, but I can get suggestions before it's released to the public. Here's overview pictures of update 9. If you would like to see an area in detail for the actual update, ask.

Invernessen is built on a tile border. This is the first picture of the entire town. As you can see, more development in the west should be there, but isn't.


The red area here is planned expansion of development. More farms will be built to compensate.


The first look at Invernessen Airfield. Any suggestions on improving it are appreciated.


Battlecat wooodb3kmaster at SC4D requested a ploppable lake. Here's my try at it.


And an overview.


As the entire point of the CJ containing Illu'a is the community suggesting stuff, suggest away.
Also, you can name streets that aren't taken. The main road going through Invernessen is already named.

Awsome job!!

Awesome job with the lake!

Wow, it just awesome! Very real life.

Brilliant job emgmod! I love this CJ.

Excellent great job! Well done! Very naturalistic.

WOW! Now this is an awesome update!

Everyone's comments means Green Light for the update! Besides the shiny bar at the bottom, most of the images shown elsewhere are the same. Here's some of the new ones for the update.

A farm, and the planned development over it.


And a close up of that lake.

Great job!

Everything looks great! Your work on the lake is terrific, especially for someone just starting out with PW (though I'm sure that looking at Battlecat's handiwork helped out a lot). The airfield looks like it's about the right size for Invernessen.

wood: I basically followed Battlecat's tutorial to make that lake. It helped a lot.

And now for the previews of the next update:

Farms to the east of the river. Invernessen is slowly expanding in this area.


All this expansion has caused flying zots to appear.


Before, this generator was at the edge of the town, where Sum Street and Route 27 meet. Now it is in the middle of new construction. Invernessen City Council needs to replace this old, failing generator before the power zots make everyone flee the town.

Nice one!

Beautiful update.

Plans were made and introduced to the City Council. 40% of the town agreed that geothermal power is the best way to go. 30% wanted solar, 20% wanted wind power, and somebody suggested a dam. City Council reviewed each of the options in detail.

Geothermal plants can be used in Invernessen, but would require approval from the Illu'an government. We would have to build a second generator while the funding is approved. Two plans are currently being decided. Solar wouldn't be too reliable in the environment of Invernessen. We'll save them for areas that constantly have sun. Windmills are also a viable option, despite the eyesores popping out of the small town. A dam would require funding from the Illu'an government. While it could be used, the difficulty of receiving funding and the resulting ecological damage would make a dam very hard to build.

In the end, City Council decided on geothermal plants, with a temporary generator for before they are completed. A small plant would get built faster, but the zots might still return. A larger plant plans for future growth, but is more expensive.

An artist's rendition for the larger power plant.


And the smaller one.


Which one should be built?

The first one.

The small one barely allows for any growth, so use the second one to provide room for growth.

yeah i would probably say the second one...

Wait, I'm a bit confused. Can you say smaller or bigger one than first or second?

Bigger one.

Bigger

Large one

Larger

Larger power plant

Larger it is.

The new power plant was up in running in three months, supplying clean power to everybody.


To the north, the land originally owned by Repeat-A-Lot is being rezoned. Plans here call for a few more houses, and the first public school in Invernessen.


Central Invernessen after construction. Once I get rid of the adjacent parallel roads to the right, the cross border expansion will be complete.


Region view. Not much to explain here.


Except for the new development near the airfield. I will tell you what this is next update.


***I need from you today...***
Welcome back! Guess what the new development is for.
Where to expand the farms?
Sign up for the Name-A-Road Program! You get to name one road in Invernessen.
Do you want a coal mining operation in Invernessen?

How about a road name after me (Aran Road)?

Nice update btw.
