will there be energy sources like I don't even know what this is photovoltaic or wind power wind power no definitely not I don't even know what the other one is, solar power nope, no like green energy is planned and the reason for that is because we've tried that when we were prototyping the game and when you have like the interesting thing with power in our game how we feel it is that there's always like something you need to deal with you know so we call we have to deal with water and that whole process and with the fuel it's like producing the fuel with nuclear it's handling the the waste for nuclear so like we don't want power to be free in the game and when you just have like wind power and when it's all by like placement of wind power you it's like you get it for free geothermal generators are sort of our answer to that, they're a bit weird albeit and they're like there's only a limited amount of them, we probably will rebalance a little bit how they work because not a lot of people using them, and even then they have like this cyclical like they they don't have constant energy so you want to use like power storages and stuff like that anyways wind power and that stuff is isn't interesting to us because we don't feel like it adds any interesting challenges to the game but, water power like turbines on on like we need to place them on like waterfalls and stuff like that could be interesting because then there's not too many places we can do that, question is how much does it actually add to the game because when you're at the point when you can use water power like what are you gonna it's like it's it's gonna be a similar problem geothermal I think like I don't know how many people are actually going to use it more than it's being English just a cool thing, so that's the that's the that's the reason why we won't add power like that
