So after messing around with the asset editor, I was unable to make two different ideas I had and I want to know if the flexibility of the editor could be expanded in future. They seem like easy additions, so please let me know if I am missing something and either of these scenarios are actually possible:
1) Solar parks: Small roadside parks that also feature large solar panels. Will provide small amounts of electricity generation on a street with no noise pollution. Unfortunately this seems impossible, as when I try to make a new park and load it with solar panels etc. the properties tab lacks the electricity generation field. Being more flexible on property fields would be really helpful.
2) Solar powered water pumping station: The idea is to just add solar panels all over the water pumping roof. It costs more to build, costs more to maintain, but on the upside is self-sustaining so you don't need to connect ugly power lines going to the water pumps. The trouble is that when I edit the existing water pump and add solar panels, when trying to use it in game I can't connect it to the drainage system as it's lacking one of those markers for connection. I can't seem to find any such marker in the asset editor. It still says that it produces water supply so it isn't related to that.
Thank you, what a great game!
