Now that it's been announced on the ludeon forums, I don't see the need to post a spoiler warning or anything.

A17 features a sort of "flowing river" mechanic/feature. One of the first things that came to my mind when I saw this in-game was hydropower. Another clean-energy option, which could be used to generate small amounts of power when the sun is skittish and when the winds are calm. I understand A17 is close to release, given that it's available as an unstable branch on steam (or at least that's how I interpret it).

If hydropower doesn't make it into the official release for A17, I won't be too upset. I'm sure a modder will pick up the idea in no time :)

on the other hand there shoud be a feature like toxic fallout for using to much "bad-energy"

The main problem I see with that feature is the fact that we don't really have a whole lot of "bad" energy options.

In fact, if I'm not mistaken, we really only have one lol

Indeed, A17 is available as a public unstable branch on Steam. This is the right place for A17 suggestions.

I really like the idea of hydro power. +1
