SimCity

Thanks for those tips Budos, obviously I had no idea what I was doing. I've got oil, so I'm assuming I would be better served converting that to whatever the more valuable version is (not sure without being in game) before selling it. I'll see if I can't do a little research while at work before I attempt to log back in tonight. Having millions rolling in would definitely make things a fuckton easier.

I bought multiple service buildings because I was hopeful that it might be useful to others in the region. If nothing else I can at least turn them off for awhile and save the upkeep I suppose.

wtf. Am I the only one who plays in cheetah speed 80% of the time?

Yeah they raise a good point which I've been pondering myself. Essentially I could have half as many roads in my grid if I allowed each block to have two rows of high density buildings instead of just one.

I think once we figure out the puzzle that is SimCity's traffic we might go to doublewide plots, but I think for now it's out of our reach.

I imagine it's more nuanced than that, because if you can play offline for extended periods the servers shouldn't be handling a much greater load at cheetah speed. Unless of course the client does less processing when it has a good connection to the server (Which would be a fucking nightmare).

I bet it's more likely that cheetah speed is causing crash or traffic issues purely client side. Which would be an interesting problem and make me consider whether cheetah gives a poorer simulation than turtle.

I guess he set the tax rate to 0% to encourage growth, but the fact that everything isn't one huge logjam is impressive. I'll have to add this to the things to try.

We're obviously seeking the optimal city, but if it turns out ot be something retarded like this then this game is a huge disappointment for min/maxers.
