skyscrapers and lightning

[Operation40]

graphically it even looks like there is a lightning rod on top of the skyscraper..

it's silly to watch lightning skip my huge skyscrapers and hit the tiny little lightning tower next to it (lol) .. space elevator needs one too -- 900 nanites and they couldn't put a grounded metal rod on top?

at least give it as a building upgrade option.

also, lightning rods don't need batteries, they just need grounded.. the battery requirement makes no sense.. I realize realism maybe isn't the goal but.. come on, ground is ground..

You could try and delete the lightning tower in the area were you have big buildings you might be surprised.

oooh? lol ok :) Guess it doesn't show the protection circle like the towers do

hrm well.. I guess the skyscrapers themselves don't take lightning hits but an air filter right next to it did (in my last game). I think they should proved a least a couple squares protection for surrounding area

also still don't think lightning towers should require batteries, these should just be run to ground. You need a heck of alot more hardware than just a battery to convert lightning to stored energy
