[ 2024-12-14 17:45:48 CET ] [ Original post ]
This update features the following changes:
- Added seven new missions.
- Players can now rename substations, pole, power generators and energy hub substations.
- Added spinning mesh to symbolise a mission, alert or achievement when UI window opens.
- UI Asset Info Window better locks position to top left when resizing.
- Hidden Asset Customisation Panel, which is under the Tools Menu. It only had Substation EMF Shielding at present, which is accessed in other ways.
- If a player starts building far away from the center of the map during the interactive tutorial, the roads and loads will change their starting position to match. Not used during normal gameplay.
- Swapped the order of the "What" and the "Why" in the interactive tutorial to ensure players can read it all before moving to the next task.
- Added Poles to the Power Study tools, to allow visualisation of all poles and quick upgrading.
- Power Source price changed to "N/A" when at placement limit.
- The Details popup for a fault will show high-level info about the fault and what the player should do, along with the previously shown text.
- The default choice of Substation to connect to for a Capacitor Bank is now the one it will help with the most.
- First Oil storage research is cheaper and quicker. EHS research is more expensive.
- Demo is now longer
- Fixed bug where conditions may stop oil market UI updating and stops showing warnings for oil supply levels.
- Fixed bug with placement of lightning rod being offset
- Fixed bug where game speed said "Normal" but actual game speed may be another value
- Fixed bug where Land Reserve function was being ignored under certain conditions

In Power Network Tycoon, you embark on a journey to establish and manage the power network for a thriving new island community. With an ever-growing demand for electricity, you must strategically plan and construct an efficient and robust power grid to meet the needs of community residents and businesses.
Power management is not just about keeping the lights on; it's about delivering a smooth and stable electricity supply. In Power Network Tycoon, you'll need to monitor and optimize various aspects of power quality, such as power factor and balancing loads between phases. Addressing these factors will improve the reliability of your network and keep your customers satisfied.
As you navigate the intricate world of power system analysis and industry engineering standards, you'll experience the most realistic power network simulation on the market. The game employs advanced physics-based calculations found in industrial electrical design software and challenges you to make decisions that reflect industry best practices.
Mother Nature can throw unexpected challenges your way, but as a resilient Power Network Tycoon, you're always prepared. Devastating storms, heatwaves, and other extreme weather events will put your skills to the test. Reinforce your infrastructure, strengthen power lines, use the weather forecasting systems to mitigate the impact of these natural disasters. Balancing resilience and cost-effectiveness becomes crucial as you strive to keep the lights on during even the harshest conditions.
As the island community flourishes, your expertise as a Power Network Tycoon will be put to the test. You'll have the opportunity to upgrade and expand your network by building new power generators, power lines, substations and capacitor banks.
Ensuring the safety of the community is paramount. As the Power Network Tycoon, you'll be responsible for preventing electrical accidents and protecting your island's residents. Assess earth potential rise under fault conditions, measure electromagnetic field strengths, and upgrade equipment to minimize the risk of electrical overloading. Failure to prioritize safety could lead to unhappy customers, outages, and even death!
With its immersive gameplay and realistic simulations, Power Network Tycoon allows you to harness your engineering skills, showcase your strategic thinking, and prove yourself as the ultimate Power Network Tycoon, shaping the electricity landscape of a vibrant new island community.
