SimCity

You don't actually do anything to send power to other people. They have to go to region view, power and select buy to buy any excess. The game itself will automatically put up any excess water, power, sewage up for sale. It will only sell any excess you have.

The things the player themselves has to manually "offer" to other cities, is services. Police , ambulance, fire , garbage trucks, recycle etc.

"Fuck it I'm going to bed."

Sounds like the right idea.

In RR2 we almost have our first Arco built.

RR1 is also top 15 worldwide in population.

Been chipping away at the arco in RR 2. Fucker is epic. I have a 350kish city flinging random bits of metal/alloy at it. I'll try TVs when it's capped on metal and alloy. TVs are going to be stupid fucking epic though. You have to generate I think 1.5m in electronics sales, which is just the processors. Each maxed processor facility seems to be able to turn out about 330k in sales if your exports actually work.

To make TVs I might need to decimate my population and destroy services so I can cut down traffic enough to get reliable import/export. As it is, traffic is fucking me. The city was conceived of as a workforce support for faile and budos so I still have this legacy high residential design that I can do without.

I always quit when it isn't behaving. Sometimes I restart origin as well.

This is slowly turning into a ridiculously terrible launch. They need to get this connection shit handled.

I added a link to the spreadsheet and the page number for Intropy's Guide to the OP.

I'm off tomorrow so hopefully I can put some time into this. Will add Tuco and Faille tonight and try to get an invite to RR2 or whatever we have going on tomorrow.

There is no page 15 with max posts per page sir.

Oops. I forgot this board allowed 60 posts per page. I made the change. Thanks

Tried to log in this morning before work on West 2. Server said available so I tried to hope into my city. Game gets stuck at "Now Entering" screen and just keeps updating tips. Have to ctrl+alt+del to get out of it.

man i can't wait till I'm allowed to play my game again

I'm trying to make me a smog bleching monstrocity and this whole server thing is tarding it up.

Intropy I replicated your road-path last night. I'm really apprehensive about making a loop with the avenues vs multiple straight avenues that go through the city. What happened to me is that the intersection of one of my med-density roads wit hthe avenue caused a perpetual traffic jam with around 120,000 people. I had a bunch of mass tranist, it's just that loop funnels half the city into that intersection.

Is it possible that you have too few connections to the main avenue? Its a delicate balance between spacing them out as far as possible and making sure everyone isn't accessing the avenue from the same cross street.

I have also been trying (for the hour or so a day when I actually get in and can play) to build using Intropys guide and some issues I have already run into are planning around ore, oil, and coal deposits. Usually I would position my industrial and disposal services near these deposits and in a direction where the wind would not blow onto my residential. I would also try and build them in ares where the water table is the lightest so as not run into water issues later when I build more water towers.

Another thing is having RCI only exist on one side of the road and not in multiple cross sections across all sides of each road has reduced my revenue quite a bit also. Then if the map is not flat or if the main road travels right through the middle of your map that can throw another twist into things.

The guide is still very useful and I plan on working more customization's into it while I play if only I could play....
