That's the problem, because of bonds I can't get back into the positive, my city is forever stuck in pause mode and sending money from other towns means the money is lost.

Same thing happened to me, I took out a bunch of bonds so that my first roads would be avenues so I wouldn't have to rebuild, I zoned RCI but I plopped the power plant before enough people or businesses moved in to get out of the red and now that city is stuck. I turned everything off and I still can't unpause. What sucks is it was my third city in a region that I already made two cities in that I really liked, but I was hoping to use this as an industrial power city, now that whole region is kind of doomed.
It didn't send anything during the game, that bit was sent while syncing before quitting.

It's not like they haven't tried to spin things already. But yes, we'll wait and see. I have a feeling the pirate community will embarrass them before long unfortunately.
One weird bug I've experienced today is when trying to view or take out a new bond, it says that a connection to the region is required. Does it mean physical connection? Like road? Or internet connection? Because I had both. Tried changing to another city and then back, but still that same message. Exiting and reopening the game seemed to fix it.
Bonds are great though; once I've got a reasonably stable income near the start, I take out as much as possible and invest in specialisation, or just huge new zoned areas. Anything that will pay itself off really. The low repayment rates mean it's just a real cheap way to boost your city.
My casino city has pretty much flopped though. I built a sleek casino, and despite the running costs remaining the same and the number of users and lodgers increasing, the profits gradually dropped to -§8000 and I had to shut the place down.

Hey I have a region on NA East 3 that I was just using "offline." I'm about to build an Arcology Great Work and was just wondering if anybody else would be interested in joining my region? I have all the departments of government already and a 150k population town where you could send your sims to work etc.. while you get started.

any way to clean up nuclear waste?

Those action weren't sent during the game. They seems to sync every 5 minutes and I wasn't long enough in the city for that to happen. I put down some roads, zoned a bit and left. And those events were only posted before quitting.
And not sure what you mean with "getting it. Every request was initiated by the client and the http response consisted of the header only. Stuff like avatars, the json news feed, promo images etc irrelevant.
lol, I managed to purchase the game by mere minutes, so lucky!
anyone know how to get shoppers and rid of germs?
i use wellness vans, but the sims keep complaining about germs
and every so often i have abandoned high density commercials due to no shoppers.
i have a neighbouring city that iwant to visit my commercial city... but i still get the complaints.
also, does anybody get flickering buldings sometimes? i also have a building which looks like it sunk into a sinkhole... it still gets services etc. but just looks dumb.

I was still in the pondering phase, so no cheap Simcity for me.
I don't think anyone has found a way of cleaning up radiation yet. Imagine the chaos if it could spread across a region.
Also where did this 'Test' server come from?

You are fucked. Don't use Nuclear Power. If you get a meltdown, the radiation never goes away. Trust me on this, I waited, and waited, it never dissipated.
The simulation in SimCity.

We are starting a new region in NA East 3. I just sent you a friend request.

Yep, I had to abandon my GAF city because of this. That's why you should be able to completely restart a city.

You won't like this answer, but I'd try bulldozing one and rebuilding it. I had a problem where my recycling centers weren't processing materials, and it was instantly fixed by bulldozing it and rebuilding. I tried to let it work itself out for a while, but it wasn't changing.
Now that's a server I can join. I'm plastik2k12 if you need another player.
Give it a couple of days/months and this will correct itself.
I sent my cousin 200K (God bless Electronics) and he never received them.
I hate the size limitation. I could do so much more and I just can't. Feels so restricted.
I mean it does it, but it only exports 500 processors every like 5-10 minutes real time. That doesn't seem normal. I can't get it out fast enough.
I never had a nuke plant but I still ended up with a few tiles of permanent radiation in one of my cities. Apparently it was from industry; there is some stuff there but I cant bulldoze it
Wow, that sucks. I guess you can't jack taxes up either. I'd be pretty pissed

Hey, sorry for the very late reply, but I just sent you a friend request and I'll invite you once you accept
Any space left? I'd love to try a gaf region: sangreal06
Do you need the ship? Or either train or ship will work?
I don't have water, so I have to use the train.
I did not see that. Thank you!

So I want to build an Arcology, but I need TVs to do that.
To make TVs, I need to have a lvl 2 Electronics HQ.
To get a lvl 2 Electronics HQ, I need to sell 1.5million processors in a day.
To sell 1.5mil processors, I need 88k processors, which is 6 trade depots that are full, so I don't export until they are all full, and then open them all at the same time and get the upgrade.
Any easier way of doing this? My city is pretty much full and doesn't have room for 6 fully upgraded trade depots.

I thought abandoning made it so somebody else could claim the city and it's essentially starting over.
But what does abandoning actually do?

You can join mine if you'd like. There are only really two cities so far though. One with 200k population and another with 100k.
EDIT: I sent you an invite to my region. Try building a city in an area that is connected to Frontier Fields
Upgrade to a trade port. Trade ports can support up to six warehouses with each one providing room for 100 tons of metal/alloy/ore/coal or 10,000 crates/barrels of other stuff. You can ship stuff out via trucks and add a train or river/ocean connection if your area has one.
Great. NA East 3, correct? I have to be logged onto that server to get the invite, right?
rangersfan414
Member
Yeah but I can't store processors in my trade port, without upgrading the electronics HQ.
Will 2 trains go to two trade train ports if I set it up that way?
Double my shipping?
I build a Trade HQ and built an electronics division for that. For some reason, I instantly got upgraded for it, but I don't know why it did that. Maybe the requirements are a lot lower.

That's another problem. My Trade HQ is already upgraded to lvl 2 and I built a Fuel Division. Even if i delete the fuel division, it won't let me place electronics division until I upgrade to lvl 3 and that requires more profit from trade in a day than upgrading the Electronics HQ does.
Guess I really have to do the depot strategy lol. Lesson learned for next time.
Darn it I just got home and missed it. Ah well gotta wait.

Has anyone's city been freezing? Sometimes my game would come to a standstill when I'm looking at roads or something.
Also, I'm thinking about just starting in another region because some of the people in my region are leaving. Someone send me an invite because I want to play with some active players, not just two or three. Origin ID is ArecP
