Learn about SimCity 2000 Desalinization Plants: cost $1,000, produce up to 105,000 gallons/month, and are available around 1990.
Desalinization plants in SimCity 2000 function similarly to water pumps but draw from saltwater sources. Like water pumps, surrounding more sides of the plant increases water production, up to a maximum of 105,000 gallons per month. They require a power supply and must be connected to your city's water system to function. These plants are typically not available until around 1990. Despite appearances, they do not generate pollution.
Their cost of $1,000 per plant and relatively low capacity compared to water pumps make them a less desirable option for water supply unless other choices are limited.
- Maximize water output by ensuring the plant is surrounded on as many sides as possible.
- Remember that desalinization plants do not cause pollution, so their placement is not restricted by this factor.
- Consider the cost and capacity relative to water pumps when deciding on your water infrastructure.
