I dunno, I don't have a problem quickly exporting stuff. My problem is my recycling center stopped working for some unknown reason. I guess yours is still working??

You need to mine/drill for resources, then trade. See the screenshot above and the disconnect between the hourly loss and the total bank balance. I'm raking it in!
Visited your city before in our GAF region, it is amazing !! Your point about the trading/hourly loss is true, have no idea how any city will be able to have a balanced budget once they start breaking through the 100,000 population barrier.

wait as for having a complete school system to have skilled workers, does that include the community collegE?

I managed to do that until 210.000.
My town has a school, HS and Uni. CC should work to get them educated you just can't do research projects.
I've got lots of problems with space usage at the moment that i'm gradually improving. I think i can probably get to 320,000.
Thanks! Is the visiting working now? I was worried it would kick me out like it was before.
EDIT: Reposted from a few pages back
I can confirm that this still works - £18 for me from the UK, downloading now.
For anyone having issues or worried that it's complicated, just log into the Indian Origin page using your normal Origin e-mail address and password and enter your details as per normal (actual address and credit card details), you only have to change the country you live in to 'India' for it to work. That's it. Other than that, it's identical to using the normal origin store.

Mine goes on and off. It never has too much recyclable material at a time. It's very weird because my city is almost all recycle now.
Nobody needs to be buying water from the neighbors: put a Advanced Facilities thing on your Mayor House or whatever the fuck is the name of that building (or somebody in your region), start a Sewage Treatment plant and watch the clean pure water pile underneath it.
Harvest it for infinite water.
If I were you, I'd bulldoze that nuclear power plant and go solar.

I think the game now gives priority to players that have cities on the server.
Which is both Intelligent and Stupid at the same time.
Intelligent because it allows people with games going on to join the server
Stupid because it prevents people from playing with their friends.
Is there a cap on the amount of power you can buy from another city? My industrial city has like 200Mw excess but the main city isn't taking any more of it since I upgraded so now they are all complaining.
City Hall upgrades aren't going across either so I'm guessing it's just broke.

no way man.
no way it can sustain my 160,000 population.
solar only outputs 8MW. versus 200 on nuclear

That kind of stuff takes up quite a bit of space and costs a lot in daily fees, why should a city that isn't utility-oriented use that space for a sewage treatment plant they don't need just to get water when they can buy water from their neighbors while sending their sewage to their neighbors?
My solar power plant is generating 360MW, 3 solar grids are turned off and I still can install another 2.
Sure, it's the advanced "Concentrated Solar Array", but you know...
Hey, this is weird. Somehow I ended up with 3 street car parking spots side by side on a street (I must placed them by accident), but each one has 4600+ users?
Does that mean if there was only one street car point, i'd have 13k+? Or each street car point is actually just giving me the total for that street?
Glad to see servers are still crapping out for the most parts, thought I'd miss the party.
Also, I had no idea they were actually using AWS for hosting. Unless they are completely incompetent, there is literally no reason why they would be having server issues. They could spin up 1000 instances in a couple of hours, they just choose not to.

You need a dark knight. Could be a cool uber construction. "Batcave" Would bring the crime down.
Nothing has changed about my recycling center. It's been operating the same since I opened it.
What has changed though is now my city seems dead. I got an error that my city wasn't processing correctly and it shot me back to the main menu. Then it asked me to either roll back my city or abandon it. So I chose to roll back. Now it refuses to load my city. So how long am I supposed to wait for this roll back to happen? Is this common?

Welp. Decided to raises taxes from 10% to 15%. Saw my population boom from 105k to 148k and eventually to over 200k. But at this point I was struggling to balance the budget. Tried to lower taxes while hoping exports would sustain me, but no luck - city has depleted to 14k now and I have no idea how to get people in, even with taxes now at 7%. All my buildings are vacant. :/
EU West 2 has been down for 3 hours now
Damn I was going to post whether anyone else had this issue. Still can't play. First time I actually get to start my city I now can't go back to it...Constant Login is closed at this time
How is this even possible?
Bah...after successfully "stimulating" residential density growth, my roads were full of new residents waiting to move in.
At that point a meteor shower hit the centre of residential district, and with the roads clogged my fire trucks couldn't get anywhere, half of it burned down (leaving my tax income low). Also the meteor took a nice radioactive shit in the middle of my high wealth area.
Now half my buildings are being rebuilt and I have this massive hole where the radioactive area is.
But the server went down, maybe it'll roll back before the meteor...

hmmm. i might have to consider this.
When a solar array fails, you buy a new panel. When a nuclear plant fails, kiss your city goodbye.
Thinking of 292k is crazy to me. Is your layout a strict grid/high density?
Did this last night and still have nothing. The charge went through on my CC. Just no email yet.
Edit: Got it working. No email, just downloaded and loaded up orgin.
Pretty much, it's not a perfect grid but its pretty close. If you were 100% residential everywhere you could maybe get 600,000, but you'd need to buy every service you need from other cities and tax would be your only income.

Been playing on EU West 5 all evening not a hitch... Lonely though as I made my own region as I'm learning to play, never really got into 4, though I've got a feeling I'll be going back, just to see how big cities got.
Nope, there's plenty that are hilly and/or have valleys. My current city has that and it's kind of screwed me. I can't zone the steep areas and I've lost a ton of real estate. Though I did manage to get the city to 212K people, but then bulldozed everything and started over once I saved up 1.24 million simoleans.
I just spammed Street Cars on my city - put two where I had one, for instance) and now 120k people are using the goddamn streetcars.
I had 30k doing that before doing it.
Sure, the wait jumped to 55 minutes, but it's worth it: No longer I have traffic jams.
I have 160k people on the city.
I'm thikning about putting another street car depot. I wonder if that would make the wait go down?
I'm getting the Unskilled Worker problem again - but I think that's just because I don't have enough people for my industries

City size is a bummer, but overall its alot of fun. Its really interesting to play with a friend in a region and talk discuss how we can help each other.
trade depots only export once or twice a day. you need a trade port. ships come every 180 minutes and trains come every 360 minutes
City specialization tab for tourism.
Loads of fun when it is all working. Many have issues with city size, but personally I don't mind it. I impulse-bought the game on Monday and despite the abysmal launch, have not once regretted it.
The game is fun as hell.

Thinks his PR is better than yours.
So my latest city in Neogaf Backup plan got the forever "Rollback" error.... that city was bangin too. 200k residents, 150k daily income....
3 days wasted.
Any gaffers on NA East 2, want to invite me to a new game. OriginID is Brawndoh.
Apparently I just enjoy getting raped by EA too much to stop....

Has anyone with the Deluxe version plonked down some of the city set landmarks? How far do the country-themed buildings spread?
