Power lines mod/asset?

[City Builder]

Hey,

So, I was looking through the workshop trying to find some sort of alternative powerlines. I found the wireless powerlines but well... To me that's just kind of a "little" bit cheaty but what I noticed is that there simply isn't any alternative powerlines. Something smaller than the massive power towers (which I have next to my home too IRL) that come in the vanilla game.


Could it be that CO simply didn't make it possible to create alternative power lines in the game?


I basically like the CO vanilla power towers but I'd like to use them for what they're supposed to be used IRlL, which is to transport power across long distances but I'd like to be able to also use smaller "road-side" type of power poles (even if they have to run not along roads but along the back-side of zones) to provide shorter distance power distribution.

Is it possible to create an asset that mods the original power towers supplied in the vanilla game to make smaller power poles?

Thanks

I personally like the underground powerlines asset

Will go with a very dumb question...
Why even care about those lines when more often than not, as you grow your city, you will simply delete those and not have any besides linking what I would call a *sister city* far away, and which in reality would be done with those powerlines in the first place.

I understand your concern as I find them myself pretty ugly, but I barely have any even in early game...

EDIT : please do not take it as an agression lol, my hidden message was just to make sure you understood that homes (or whatever you build and has started to grow) connect to each others automatically, even if they are separated by a few squares...
+ note that the more assets/mods you have the more your pc will struggle with the game... so I would definitely save room for far better eyecandy or usefull mods

I just took a very long train ride along the eastern coastline of Taiwan. Along the train lines was the power lines connecting the "sister cities" as you called them. I would love to build an asset that allowed an option for railways to include power. This way, "industrial cities" built for the sole purpose of gathering coal (and creating pollution) could be connected to main power grind and freight movement by rail and power lines.

That is just one idea that would be useful for power line asset management.

i really really would appreciate smaller power poles. sure, to make the city function they are not needed and if they are ugly or not is not to be at issue, because they make a city or certain areas simply look more realistic.i can't believe that there is no alternative to the vanilla version but it actually seems so.
the only thing i found is this: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=665859116 but unfortunately they don't work like the vanilla ones so it's something like a life task to place those in higher numbers

Seems like it could be possible now with the last update.. haven't seen anyone take it on yet.
