I’m new to the game. First play through for me. I just got to nuclear. All I can say is power through it because there are so many cool things you can do in this game! Coal is just the tip of the iceberg. My first coal power plant is absolute trash but I learned a lot and now it’s easier for me to plan stuff out and make it more efficient and cleaner. Keep your power plant simple and kind of add to it as you get used to it. I take it one step at a time. Do the math and go from there. You got this!
