I joined and started a city...but just got booted...I hope everything got saved...:cano:

 

[JeremyHight]

My city got hit by another meteor... this time in my nuclear power plant. Half my city is irradiated, I'm hemorrhaging cash, and I've grown to hate meteors.

I managed to reinstall Windows, get my drivers set up and get SimCity installed but now I cannot connect to the freaking servers, Actually stuck at the checking for updates screen. Now I must go to bed and get my five hour sleep

:lol:

Underestimated the difficulty for sure, having a real go of my 50K town. Finally figured out mining, woulda been nice to know the coal and ore are all buried in my core residential area :yao:

What I got done from the last pic:
-Got a decent ore mine going making me 15K a day.
-Shutdown my bus system for now, got a huge streetcar circuit on all my avenues.
-Grew out my wind power but it's becoming too ineffective/costly to maintain. Threw down a solar panel and it's doing a better job. Going to maximize the solar and scale back wind power. Hopefully one of you guys gets a university rolling so I can get my dolts educated for Nuclear in the future.
-Threw down a water pump station to advance from towers, but it was in a murky area so I had to go with costly filtration pumps. Still will work out over time, just a longer time.
-Added a College and maximized my grade school.
-Removed all outflow pipes and got a sewage plant.
-All roads are high density so I'm prepared for the limits.

Eventually I'm going to need to get that coal, will be interesting to see how I shift things around to keep it all decent.

This game is bloody great IMO. Every map will be a totally different city to build. Really see the point to defined borders now.

If all your roads are high density, prepare to get tucked in hopes of power, electricity, water, and garbage. Cities get very big very, very fast with high density roads.

As for my town, I still have radiation causing major problems, but luckily I have the ability to shut down tons of different buildings and am able to survive. Almost everyone is sick, but that is what hospitals are for.

Also, I almost had another meltdown because I had about 2000 kids on school buses, but the one at the school was glitched out and wouldn't move or drop off kids. There was just a huge line of buses behind it all waiting. My education level dropped like 2 levels because of that.

God I am so jealous of you all. More pictures so I can play vicariously through your imagery pls.

No kidding. I just started to boom vertically and went from 20K to 50K in a flash. I've really just been in damage control trying to get caught up on my services to meet the needs. I really love how interconnected all the systems are, and how the domino effect comes into play when something shits the bed. No idea how I'm going to grow another 50K with my setup, much redesigning is coming.

 

[TeflonDonny]

I'm in the process of figuring out how to re-specialize my city. I need to produce or acquire more plastic and alloy to get my processor manufacturing and exporting to a higher level. I have 2 plants that are basically funding my whole city. I think I may do away with most of my commercial zones and focus on residential and industrial.

 

[Chrispy]

In one of my other cities I had a nuclear fallout :dead:

 

[TeflonDonny]

I'm spending a lot but I'm starting to rake in the dough

 

[killgod]

budget looks the same as me. I took your advice and got into processors and it was instant money. i threw down 3 fully decked out processor plants...then made mad money, working a whole redevelopment of my lower area, starting to push residential down there. I ended up blowing up my recycling plant, smelting furnace and ore mine. I just import everything and grind out TV's and computers. I also sell the excess processors for extra money.

I'm thinking I just abandon all industrial and have a ton of high tech plants. then zone mostly residential with some commerical.

 

[Garrett67]

I think my problem is that I have is that I think I need to do a little of everything, then I run out of room and spend a boat load of money while not making much.


I already erased one city and started over. I had to do it again.

 

[TeflonDonny]

Who ever takes over the vacant city next to mine gets a fat $500k bonus.

 

[Chrispy]

Might be me

One city I can't build anything, just stays @ 0% then in my other city I have nuclear radiation over half the city and garbage trucks won't collect garbage :dead:

 

[Garrett67]

Wtf?

 

[Garrett67]

Although sad , I felt it was necessary

Somebody please re-invite me (Bean1967) I'm going to a land that is flat. Those hills suck to work around, such wasted space.

 

[Hitman]

I hate earthquakes.

 

[TeflonDonny]

nuke plants are bad business
