Underground Powercable - ploppable everywhere

Description
The idea actually is from Populous as you can see here, but he had two versions back in the days (he meanwhile also provides the 2-in-1-solution ;D )... one for ground and one for water.
My version is the 2-in1-solution. You can plop them everywhere!

The underground cables are handled a little different than the normal powerpoles. You have to place them individually.

The price is 750€ and the maintanance is 8€. That makes them slightly more expensive than the powerpoles, if you compare a certain distance that shall be bypassed.

---

Update: The Underground Cables were floodable in unlikely cases (when waterlevels changed drastically) --> shouldn't be an issue no more.

I'm posting a link to a collection I made that will contain this mod. I am currently working on an updated and compatible list of every mod that you would need for a "modern" cities build. Help me out? love your work btw

No issue when there is no wind? Okay, most are going to think I am an idiot, but as a as the author, you understand why I am asking.

Thanks. I managed to delete them once I had the electricity panel open. :)

@magicnmight

1.) Can't say anything about that, because I haven't played the game in a while now. Paradox changes so much with each cashgrab... I mean Update/DLC, that you might be right, but I don't know how to fix that.

2.) That is because they are not really cables. I just made use of some game mechanics to create something similar to underground cables. The game actually didn't have that in mind... you could say that I tricked the game. While the game wants you to build above the waterpipes for example, it doesn't allow to built on top of these cables and I can do nothing about that. Sorry.

I have two issues:
1. I experienced a flood and they were affected. They showed up as abandoned buildings with the little icon and I had to delete them (which it let me do).

2. my MAIN issue is deleting or moving them when they are NOT affected by water. Even though they are "underground" I can't place parks/plazas or any asset on top of them. Even if I switch the bulldoze view to underground the cables are not visible. I've even tried clicking away on the spot but it won't budge. I also tried the MovIt tool but they are not visible. Help please :)

Thank you for this, it's not that power cables don't have their place, but for some of my cities they just ruin the aesthetic. These are great.

@Corncuck @Danny

it should never be possible to build roads or buildings on top of a placed powercable. but with moveit (awesome mod), you can move all kind of stuff (roads, buildings, props etc) around, so you can place this under a road for example.

So I have been working with this for the last few days, and now I can't place the poles on top of roads anymore! How to fix?
