Who wants some caffeine to run your town?

- Don't worry, I added the "draw ground" attribute after this...
Hello again, fellow users! I have made another plugin that is a very costly set of water towers...
Replaced with huge cups of coffee.
...Like I said last post, I wanted to make absurd-looking plugins into Theotown. Like that hamster power plant by nnkkoooo (Plugin #4551 btw)
What's in this plugin?
In this plugin, you have two different vessels of coffee. One is the
cup shape, whereas the other is the big mug. The cup has 9 colors and occupies a 3*3 grid. Whereas the cylindrical
mugs occupy a 2*2 grid, but they only come in black and white.
For 5000₮ to build, a cup will provide at least 1250 liters of "coffee" but with a monthly cost of 5000₮ because... Well, it really costs a whole lot to maintain brewing a steady stream of hot coffee (or cocoa, you imagine) for an entire town.

- Yeah, that costs a lot to pump water... Or should I say... Coffee? Cocoa?

- Just showing the water outline to show you that it works.
So, yeah... It's supposed to be such a jokingly impractical water tower.
Future Plans
1. I'd like to add animations, such as the coffee inside the cup swirling, some steam coming out... But I still haven't figured out the animation part.
2.
I'd like to add a spilled cup of coffee as a decoration... Or as a landmark piece. (Finally, I added it!)
3. Maybe expand on more designs like polka dots? If I have the time, that is.
4. Change the values to cost less on the build, and definitely add a requirement level.
Behind the Scenes
- Originally, I was going to draw a very thematic ramen restaurant that has a whole bowl of ramen as the building. But after drawing the cup... I decided to go for a cup of coffee instead.
- The cup was manually drawn (apart from changing the colors) to the details and some tweaking... As far as Photopea goes.
- The mug was drawn simply with a slow stroke of an ellipse-shaped pen tool, added some shading effects using the "Blending Options..." And I still have to tweak around the other settings and the handles as well.
- Speaking of handles, there are actually two handles drawn... I just obscure the other one just as I'm about to export the left and right sides.
- Also, when I exported it to my game... I didn't realize that the cup was set in a 3 by 3, but I used a 2 by 2 instead... (Actually, I forgot to reconfigure the two vessels to their correct grids and shipped them out of the Plugin Creation as 1.)
- Here's also the whole .json for it:

Right, I think that'll be all for today's post. Have an energetically nice day ahead, fellow residents! (and users!)
