Solar Plant Fix

Solar Plants are too restricted and thus rarely built, unless you are on a desert map...This mod widens the restriction about where they can be built, while maintaining realism, and makes them require a strategic resource to still limit their production. They remain mutually exclusive with Nuclear Plants just for game balance.


-Instead of the Desert restriction, Solar Plant cannot be built on or next to Snow or Tundra tiles
This simulates their impracticality near the poles where they would get a lot less sunlight and helps to limit them as the Desert tile restriction used to, but no where near as badly.

-Solar Plant requires Aluminum
Realistic and helps to limit them, so they aren't the obvious choice if you would rather spend your Uranium on something other than Nuclear Plants...you know, like nuclear powered toaster ovens.
