Why can't i change the textures in Textures\World\Hills ?

Whatever i do to these textures (the mountains/hills on the worldmap) they don't change in-game. I can change the textures in Textures\World\Biomes without problems. I've tried both .psd and .png (and my other png files works so i dont think its the format). I'm using the exact same size (128 px)..

I'm doing a more "realistic" (more detailed) overhaul of the world map (textures are used from the actual maps in the game) so i want to be able to change these as well, they don't fit in well for this theme.

I'm thinking these files perhaps have moved to another location as of late, so this hills folder is something old or perhaps just wrong (naming or location). Any ideas where i can look to see what the actual location should be?

do wires needs to be roofed? there's no explanation how they are drawn (under ground?) the graphical representation is rather meaningless and the game does not give any info about it (afaik).

the "grid" that can be created of wires (from the source of electricity), does that makes electricity more reliable or is that for drawing to several sources?

Wood fired generators, do they need to be roofed?

I read a thread on Steam, for every answer there is ~3 saying "yes, absolutely" and 3 saying "no! believe me, i know, i have xxx hours, you are soooo wrong". so there's no way of knowing who's right. No one seems to understand how it works to be honest.

I guess it could be figured out by doing a game where i just try it in various way and write down what seems more reliable etc etc.

All this could be fixed so easily by just like 2 lines of text in the game..
