Electrician
Noticing that electricity has been planned, it would be interesting to see an actual job relating to it:A specialization of the Engineer, the Electrician!Electricians are capable of creating specialized electrical equipment for the generation, distribution, and, in some cases, usage of electricity at home.== Generation ==An electrician can craft a variety of generators to create electricity.Wind/Hydro-electric generatorsLess efficient, but makes no pollution, and can simply be set and forgotten.Steam GeneratorRunning off a steam engine creates loads of power. However, this generator is quite bulky! Pollutes quite a bit.Diesel GeneratorCreates just a bit more power than steam and is much smaller. Pollutes quite a bit.== Distribution ==How does this generator deliver electricity?Well, outside of buying a generator from your local electrician and hooking it up to your land.Woodworkers can craft utility poles, which an electrician can wire up to a generator station.When hooking up homes and businesses to the power, the electrician can install a power meter, which will bill the building owner at a fixed rate for power usage.The electrician, however, is only capable of installing this meter; the customer, on the other hand, can at any time they wish use the meter to shut off power, and by extension, billing.== Power usage ==Power can be used to operate numerous appliances.Also, adding to this, basic electrical components, such as switches, allowing for the smart configuration of both power grids and buildings.== Quirks ==Power lines that run long distances from generation stations will, as they get longer, become lossy with power. This is due to some electricity dissipating as heat.If an animal touches at least two wires on a power pole, they will be electrocuted.Power lines are naturally public infrastructure to hook up generation stations to; however, hooking up a building will require an electrician.Bill money will be paid out to the owners of generation stations based on how much energy they contribute to the grid.
