Transmission Pole
Can link electrical energy.
Notes
The Transmission Pole is a placed electrical infrastructure object, used to link and extend electrical energy across a settlement. Its 1x8x1 footprint makes it a long, narrow structure that carries power from generators like combustion or solar panels to demand objects such as laser drills and computer labs. An effective tip is to plan a power grid route that avoids placing poles through water or heavily polluted areas, since high pollution can degrade nearby housing value and indirectly complicate energy infrastructure expansion.
