I think it's related to the road, but I haven't really sat down and compared them.

While we're on the subject, what are most of those big skyscrapers? Are those all commercial, or are there residential high-rises as well?

I think they are commercial. Much like real cities, all the skyscrapers are commercial buildings.

Is that always High Density, or is that related to the road that's being used as the zoning region?

That also (literally) only tells you one side of growth: They also need an equal amount of space to the sides to grow.

Patch 1.4 notes:

* Update to the “Select a Server” dialog in the game launcher. This will now indicate which servers you have active cities on
* Fix for an issue where selection shard did not display when the previously selected server is down
* We've fixed a problem where some players were getting stuck when switching shards in the server select menu
* We've opened 1 new server: Antarctica

Looks like all server selection changes, nothing to the game itself.
 
After this patch, can anyone confirm that their recycling center's are still working correctly? Mine aren't outputting anything even though their recycling materials are maxed.

Well I've given up. I'm trying to promote people to come across from my other city and spend in my casinos. I've set up trains and buses promoting growth of tourism and still only get 200 visitors. To top it off I sent 500k to my other city to kick it in to gear. Now it said that it was sent only when I go on my other city it's not there. Hell I fucking waited for 20 minutes and it's still not arrived. Then my great work is STILL sitting in limbo due to "planning" and doesn't show in my other city. Then to top it off I'm told to build a department of safety in my main city so I can build a police precinct in my casino city. I'VE HAD A FUCKING HOSPITAL SITTING IN MY MAIN CITY FOR 4 GOD DAMN MONTHS. HOW FUCKING LONG DOES IT TAKE TO UPDATE?

tl;dr - Servers are still fucked, if you try to do ANYTHING on your own the servers continue to treat cities like they aren't connected. Dog shit. Utter dog shit. :/

Jeez, it's so annoying when people just stop playing their cities in your region and start somewhere else. I want to play in a region where people actually stay active.

I can't really do much when half my land mass is irradiated. Ten in-game years later, its still there and without any way to reset a city-plot, all that's left to do is abandon it. :(

What's the status on

Discovery Delta (3) ( http://metalmurphy.org/SimCity/08.php )
Titan Gorge (3) ( http://metalmurphy.org/SimCity/09.php )
Viridian Woods (2) ( http://metalmurphy.org/SimCity/01.php )

What server are they on? Do they even exist? And anyone in them can invite me on origin? (not the city just origin).


And whoever just registered on Viridian Woods (1), please accept my Origin invite.

DD3 is called Neogaf Delta 3, located on NA EAST COAST 1 and has 8 open slots (out of 16). Everyone on your list has been invited on origin. You can invite me on Origin: OblastSRT4

I did it with 3 maxed out wells. Make sure ur trucks aren't in traffic.

What am I supposed to do with this garbage? I'm running out of room and they are both filled to the top.

Use at least 1 incinerator and don't place ur dump near residential!

NA East 2, by any chance? Seems like that particular server is fucked when it comes to regional sharing.

I deleted everything from that server and moved over to NAE4. I was going to test it just now, but it's not letting me log in at all now.

New garbage facility or add another landfill if there is room at your current one. Or you can export it if there is capacity in your region/regional trading works.

I'm convinced they based that on oil being more valuable on the global market (which never seems to adjust). The easiest way is to get a trade port
 
Something is wrong. One of my cities is offering 15MW of energy and another one is buying on demand. The demand is 38.2MW, it's only buying 28.1MW. Same for water supplies. I guess this is due to server errors/latency but damn, that's annoying.

There is some delay, both server related and intentional. That said, they will only ever buy enough to cover the shortfall, so you should be at 0 excess

any way to solve this problem? other than not offering any bus service

I really wish regional buses would only go between the depot of two cities -- like real regional buses

Ok thanks. My main issue is having enough plastic and alloy. I have 3 trade centers importing it and 2 recycling plants but its not enough apparently. I don't know what else I can do.

Check to see if the delivery trucks is stuck in traffic. I have 2 recycling plants and importing from 2 trade centers, and I have enough for 7 plants.

I've upgraded my Trading HQ once to be able to add processor storage in my trading port, but is there any other point in keeping the Trading HQ and updating it further?
 
so, someone please tell me how and where to put a bus stop.

I can build a bus depot. I can build a shuttlebus lot onto the depot. But I have no idea how or where I can build a shuttle bus stop. I don't see the option to build one anywhere, and I don't know here I would build it even if I could.

I feel like a dumbass, but I can't figure it out.

Bus stops go on roads make sure they are spread out though. Shuttle depots work as huge bus stops so you want them near something like a train station or large commercial districts to bring in visitors. You really don't need one till you have more cities in the region though.

In the bus menu there should be a blue bus stop. You can place it along roads. You will see the area covered by the bustop light up in green.

Really wish I could play with other people, but all the games in "join game" are full. Pretty silly to show them there if I can't actually join them.
