PowerPlanner: Grid Tycoon

NEW IN 1.5 • Less battery drain, less heat: the map now draws up to 1.6× faster. Tank levels, power lines, transformer zones and the screen vignette are prepared once instead of every frame. Behind full-screen menus the map rests, and while the device is locked the game pauses completely. • New battery saver (Settings › Display): stops the map's idle animation. The game keeps running and refreshes once a second; panning and zooming stay smooth. • The save file is about 10× smaller, and the statistics history is now stored in compact blocks, so far less is written to storage. • Late game flows better: building prices now scale with your best income, so you can keep building until the whole map is filled. • More depth for nuclear power: reactors get an on/off switch, interim waste slowly decays inside the reactor, and a reactor or repository is decommissioned once its waste has decayed. • Tap any empty tile to see what the ground does: biome, yield bonus for solar and wind, what can be built there and which building makes it usable. Works on land you don't own yet. • Wind turbines show their terrain bonus. • Starting a research is saved right away. • Smoother and more reliable overall.
