New update for power lines available! Download here. Screenshots here. Update includes:
-Wood and steel pole
-Wood tangent and deadend crossarms
-Steel tangent and deadend crossarms
-Pin and post insulators with both bracket mounting and steel pole mounting
-Deadend polymer and porcelain insulators
-A transformer (1ø)
-2 capacitor banks (both 3ø, 3 and 6 unit banks)
-A regulator
-A regulator bypass switch (1/2 hr+ for model)
-Fused cutouts (1ø bracket mounting, 3ø equipment arm mounting, 3ø solid blade equipment arm mounting)
-A recloser (solid dielectric; Nova relcosers, type W reclosers, etc to come)
The next update will have more reclosers, sectionalizers, more transformers, switches, transmission, and underground stuff. Every item added is 1:1, straight from factory specs. Every dimension is as accurate as possible.
Well, there are now 63 screenshots for the power line section of this mod. I haven't been able to work on this mod as much as I wish, but I have been able to get some low voltage, transmission, and substation framing ready for the next update. I'll try to post some more screenshots of the traffic signals and the new power lines.
Can you add more gantry and transmission tower/substation screenshots? Reccomendations:
Custom Highway Shields
Exit Gore
Rural highway signs
Highway Pavement (Asphalt, Concrete, Bridge)
Powerplants (long time from now)
Sub Transmission Framing
Transmission Insulators
I've been away a long time because I've been working modding for Cities: Skylines.
Custom highway shields could be a little difficult. Sub transmission is included with the transmission tab (I should change that); power plants might be a little tricky, I might just have a block you place down and then select a power plant to generate. Exit gores will be added as well as highway pavement. Transmission/sub transmission will be separated into 3 voltage levels: 70kV, 120kV, and 230kV. Rural signs are a definite yes.
EDIT: Power plants would be to difficult to implement.
Well, the next update should be out soon. The transformers and distribution framing have been completely redone; subtransmission framing has been added at 2 voltage levels (70kV and 120kV); 2 risers were added (1ø and 3ø). Underground, substations, and 230kV transmission framing will be added as well.

Those are some amazing screens! I'd like to see more screens of the transmission framing and substations.
1.0 (new version, new models) is a lot better than 0.4 (old version, old models).
Speaking of updates, the next update will add quite a bit!
Planned features:
-More fused cutouts (with and without surge arresters, with and without current limiting fuses, etc)
-More 15kV and 35kV framing (taps, narrow profile construction, crossarm construction, etc)
-More equipment (more transformers, capacitor banks, and reclosers)

When will you add the gantry and more street lights?
When will you add the gantry and more street lights?
The gantry will be added with the road stuff portion of the mod. Street lights will be added with power lines EXCEPT for the one street light added with traffic signals. I am planning on adding more than just a few street lights (same with gantries). Street lights can have different lamps (cobra head, cutoff, etc), many arm types (look a few pages back, I posted the planned types), and many arm lengths.

230kv Metal transmission framing+insulators (like in the picture)
Concrete block (overpasses and sidewalks)
Most of this stuff was already in my plan, so I'll explain how I'm implementing each.
1. I can start on the wiki, this is one of the features I hadn't planned.
2. Highway shields with custom numbers might happen, but I'm not sure.
3. 230kV and 500kV lattice structures are definitely in the plan, although they might come a little later.
4. Steel and concrete subtransmission/transmission structures are definitely in the plan.
5. Concrete blocks are a definite yes.They will even have markings.
It's mods like this that still keep minecraft interesting and fun to play after all these years. Thank you so much for having such an interest and passion for the game to make a great mod like this one. I wish you lots of success with future updates.

Thanks! I hope to continue updating this mod for quite a while!
Well, one lattice tower is ready (pictures at the very bottom) and many more to come (pictures below). The guyed lattice tower is not a lattice tower in the mod, this was just the best picture of the self supporting lattice tower.

I've gotten 2 more models done. Here are some screenshots. These blocks will be included in the next update.
Screenshot 1- Intellirupter Pulsecloser
Screenshot 2- SCADA-Mate CX
Both were made using S&C's dimensions at 1:1 scale.

Whats better:
traffic signals 0.4 or 1.0?

That's more realistic than I expected!
I didn't know you were going to add 345kv.
Oops, meant 500kV.
When will the next update be released? Can you add more screenshots in the screenshots folder?
