"You're my soda pump, my little— wait, what d'ya mean that's not how the lyric goes?!

Fig 1. Out of this shot, there's Ado... Probably staring at them soda cans.

Hello again, fellow players!

So... I finally got to do another one of my ideas for a plug-in that I had in my head for a while: Water tanks as soda cans! (You know, I don't see anyone doing a lot more unconventional plug-ins like these. At some point, you could add almost anything to the forum... Getting them to the store is another thing.)

Future Plans:
- Minor adjustments to power consumption and monthly costs if the demand calls for it. (Or the plug-in store moderator themselves.)
- Spilled can decor (Just like the one I did with Coffee Galore... Which I should also update its' pricing at some point.)
- A 2x2 version of this. Bigger size, bigger output and bigger prices.

Final Thoughts:

Fig 4. The thumbnail for the plug-in.

So, that'll be it for my occasional return back to TheoTown, I hope you all enjoy this plug-in as much as I did in the making of it. I also uploaded it to the store, and you might see it coming soon, or it'll get rejected due to either:

A. The prices are a bit unfair.
B. The culture influence is a bit too much.
C. The graphics don't blend in with the game.
D. None of the above.
E. All of the above.
...The last part was intentional, putting "all of the above" before "none of the above" was a bit funny in my head. I'd like to dabble in some tomfoolery a bit too much.

So, as usual... Have a great day ahead, fellow users!

Maybe I can adjust it myself to remove the influence of noise.

Tried it myself... Doesn't seem to scale down. BUT, you can surround it with trees.
