1930s Power Plant

This mod proposes a coal-fueled power plant that is more adapted for early-starting date games. I have modeled it after the Novorossiysk Regional Power Plant, inaugurated in 1930 in the Black Sea region, from a single old photograph, so the non visible parts are extrapolated.

It has a power capacity of 22MW (historical data), a 200 ton coal storage, 2 aggregate input connections, and I gave it 3 HV connections and 2 LV. It should go without saying that this means you should pick your HV pylons wisely to avoid overloading the grid. Employs 50 workers.

The perpendicular wing of the building is set to be collisionless to allow the player to make better use of the empty quadrant left (remember however that roads or bus stops need to be placed there before the plant itself).

Heating extension:
=================

The 2nd item in the mod is a heating plant extension meant to work in tandem with the power plant. It's comprised by 3 big pipe connections and 2 footpaths for access. Employs 5 people. It's collisionless so that you can place it in such way as for it to appear like the pipes are coming out of the plant's walls (see pictures). The concept is inspired by Comrade DirrrtyDirk's work here: https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2384910975 .
In constrast with Dirk's model however there is no reference point inside the main plant for 'correct' placement, as you are free to position the pipes in various places that might make sense to your configuration. Actually, you can even place it multiple times, multiplying this way the outgoing heat pipes, and converting the plant from primarily providing electricity to primarily providing heat.

Now I'm not entirely sure of the game's math for heating, so the current performance stats are slightly arbitrary. As far as I tested, a single heating extension seems to cover a population of 8-9k people without strain, at a cost of ~1MW of power from the plant. If this is deemed too cheaty in terms of consumption, please notify me and I'll make it more energy-draining.

Addendum:
--------

Following suggestion, I added a variant of the pipes extention to make placement easier and with bigger degree of freedom. The new variant has longer pipes which go underground. This way, instead of having to extrude from a wall, you can put them anywhere in the vicinity of the plant. They included a mirrored version as well.
