People living in homes or going into other buildings in the radiation zones further out frequently become sick, this may severely overload clinics and hospitals.People living in the radiation zone nearest the plant will move out and new buildings will not develop, this may reduce city population severely.Radiation is permanent and does not lessen over time.Radiation is shown on the Radiation Data Map as four zones and is worst in the zone closest to the plant.After a meltdown the city loses all power from the affected reactor and radiation contaminates the land, then the ground water.It may happen without warning to a city with no college or university. If the player listens very closely around the nuclear power plant that caused the meltdown, a Geiger Counter clicking sound effect can be heard, similar to SimCity 3000.Ī nuclear meltdown is perhaps the most challenging disaster that can happen. However only a reactor module is destroyed. In SimCity (2013), a nuclear meltdown can occur when the nuclear power plant is staffed with unskilled workers, causing radiation to leak. Entering the cheat "Radioactivity" does this as well, as long as the city has a nuclear power plant. Before this happens, the screen will start to shake, glow white, and the sound of an explosion goes off. The player will lose all the points and cash, several medevac missions will begin, cars will be crashed, and the helicopter is destroyed. However, if a city with a Nuclear Power Plant is loaded, and fire a rocket at it, eventually it will explode, destroying almost the entire city. If the fires are not put out, the building gets destroyed, resulting in more point and cash loss. Firing rockets at buildings with the Apache helicopter cause the buildings to catch on fire, resulting in loss of several points and cash. Also on most to some occasions, if a fire on the nuclear power plant is left to burn, the fire may only destroy the building to rubble, meaning no nuclear explosion.Ī nuclear meltdown can occur in SimCopter. All buildings near the rim of the blast zone will survive, but will be coated in radiation.ĭepending on the elevation, a meltdown that occurs on land that is close to sea level will create a small lake that is irradiated.Most buildings just outside of the blast zone will be set on fire.The area that remains will be covered in radiation. All buildings within the blast zone will be obliterated.The effects on buildings surrounding the power plant are as follows: A massive crater will also be seen, this crater will be glowing orange for a while until it cools down. Buildings covered in radiation will be abandoned, and the surrounding area will not be able to support new development. After the meltdown, much of the surrounding area will be flooded by radiation, which can be seen as small green spots glowing in random places. The explosion is about five times more powerful than the explosions of other power plants. When a nuclear meltdown occurs, the nuclear power plant will explode in a massive mushroom cloud, destroying any surrounding buildings and leaving a large crater and radiation where the power plant once was located. In SimCity 4, a nuclear meltdown can occur when nuclear power plants operate overcapacity, if their maintenance has degraded over time, or if they catch fire. If one zooms to the "street-level" view, the sound of a Geiger counter clicking can be heard.Ī nuclear power plant exploding during a meltdown. Only after said twenty years (or if it is overused or on fire) will the plant undergo a meltdown.ĭuring a nuclear meltdown in SimCity 3000, an explosion can be heard near the Nuclear power plant and a generic "destroyed building" symbol is displayed above the plant.Īny buildings near the meltdown will turn to rubble and buildings farther away will be covered in radiation and have an International Radioactive Warning insignia on them. In SimCity 3000, the Nuclear plant lasts twenty years before collapsing.
#Simcity complete edition vs simcity societies upgrade
In SimCity 3000 and its upgrade nuclear meltdowns can occur, although they are nowhere near as dramatic as its advanced successor. Radioactive tiles are empty unusable areas. Radioactive tiles produce a lot of pollution, and most of the radiation appears near where the nuclear plant was before the meltdown. It can take around ten to twenty thousand years before the radioactivity dies down, and about several hundred-thousand years to wear off completely. The fire spreads very quickly and is very difficult to extinguish. In SimCity 2000, the nuclear power plant will explode, ignite building and the city will be bathed in radiation. In SimCity, nuclear meltdowns can occur, but the radiation symbols are replaced with atoms.
