3. This code shows the x, y, z, cell x, and cell z values in the bubble when the query button is on. Move over something and it will appear.
4. When this code is enabled, your city will have power but your utilities advisor will keep bugging you about building a power plant. Also when your city is large it cuts down on the monthly spending.
