Sim City (5)



  Fiesta ST-3
In having a right mare at the moment. My sims are leaving as they have no money and my factories shutting as they have no workers? Wtf?

Develop neighbouring cities up and come back to that one later. They will be able to find workers/jobs from each other.

Servers were constantly disconnecting for me tonight (despite appearing to be fine), I managed to invite a couple of people. In my experience it's best to stop playing when the server disconnects, I've lost at least an hours worth of building on more than one occasion when that happens.

If you're not already, send me an Origin friend request (ukaskew37), that will speed things up a bit.

Gorms - I invited you about 2hrs ago, it can be a bit slow/broken though so I will check again tomorrow.

Can I get an invite? I'm added as a friend but don't seem to have an invite.

Cheers.

Ok... well im starting to fall out of love with this game now. Purely because of all the little bugs. Im slowly running out of water and no matter what i try i cant get anymore. I have a pump plant next to sewage works but its just not enough. I cant seem to even buy water from a city near by. Might give the game a miss till some updates come out as its annoying.
 
Raking it in :)

If anyone needs any funds let me know :)
 
I think I'm trying to develop my cities too quickly. Ended up running out of space due to poor road planning. Might have to get bulldozer happy tomorrow!

c**ting game is pissing me off, ive got about 5 Ore refinarys, 2 coal refinarys, 2 processor factorys, 3 recycling centres all churning out loads of plastic, alloy, metal e.t.c

Had about £400k in the bank, left it going as i was walking the dogs, came back and i was bankrupt, all my trade depots/ports and nigh on full, the roads are so jammed i just dont think they can get the stock about.

tempted to bulldoze the whole thing and start again.


Is there any space in the cliosport server?

I still cant get my head around the traffic system this game utilizes. I've made at least 6 different cities now all with traffic flow/layout in mind and designed as few junctions as possible (which seems to be the root cause of traffic backlogs, s**t lane discipline). My city with 150k has no worse traffic issues than my city with 30k. It seems 20k is fine, 30k is congested and then it doesnt seem to scale anymore?

Ive also reached 150k by placing no parks what so ever and my houses and population has increased on their own to become my bigges city ive had yet with the smallest land value investment... wtf? What motivation is there to pump $3k per month maintaining parks when you do better without them?

My City keeps coming up with a message saying a process has gone wrong then i have to roll back the game to the previous save. It the just keeps repeating.

How the hell do you get it to send crates of alloy and processors to the solar farm construction ? I'm exporting them by the thousand but the solar farm doesn't get any of it !!!

I got it by changing it to use locally, going back to the region/great works vie and clicking the standby button to send things to it.

im doing pretty well for a rookie I reckon, got 13m in the bank and about 100k sims living there. Just need to branch out to find oil so I can start my space program :D
 
  not a clio anymore
I bought the game and then realised my laptop wasn't really upto the job. Reading this the game sounds awesome just need to buy a new computer before I can find out. Any recommendations of spec?

Manged to get the trucks to go over to the solar farm but the number of resources isn't changing. Plenty of trucks going though.

I think it's part of the server load issues, took a while for it to update for me.

Well after racking up 50'ish hours ive come to the conclusion the following needs fixing:

- Add the ability to restart/delete a city instead of having to delete the entire region.
- Fix the water table so it refills without having to delete and rebuild pumping stations constantly when the ground dries up.
- Retarded traffic AI. Buses getting stuck, cars only using 1 lane, emergency vehicles queueing with traffic wtf?
- Add overpasses/one way streets/traffic light priority to help manage traffic

Ive also had some unusual moments where tourists visit the city and suddenly EVERY commercial building decides to "upgrade" to hotels/motels then all proceed to go out of business due to massive competition for minimal visitors... not sure if thats a bug or what?

So rainwater doesnt refill the water table but treated sewage does.... whaaaat?



Glad im not the only one whos noticed the retarded traffic!

The water is messed up. It says in the manual if you put a pump next to water it is unlimited however it's my the case.

It seems to me it's avenues that don't work properly. I have a city with 120k people full of high density streets instead of avenues and I have no problems. I have another city which has 20k people and a lot of avenues and have no end of traffic problems

I was going to create a ClioSport 2nd region tonight, as I've asked for an invite to the existing one but not had it.

Is there a search function I am completely oblivious which filters out full regions and shows ones with free plots/abandoned cities?

In places it's very good but it still has some serious flaws.

I think I'll still end up playing SC4!

Apologies, I was taken into hospital last Saturday and only just got home. I'm unlikely to be playing for a while so probably best to start/join a new region.
