building hunt

[Quaternus 0]

Does anyone know where to find that arcology-type-thing that is a tower with 10k high tech jobs? Other buildings like this would be nice too. I want to have arcologies for $$ and $$$ R and C as well as all levels of I. So 9 buildings in all. I am also wondering how to set the requirements to unlock something.

Hello Quaternus,

Maybe I am just a little behind the times - but I thought the arcologies were SimCity 2000 buildings?

However (for SimCity 4) -

there is a modd for higher density buildings over at SC4Devtion (requires seperate registration) -

the Collosal Addon Modd (or CAM) I believe is what they are calling it.

Along with several CAM compliant buildings.

They are, but someone made a big industrial tower a while back and I want to find it again. I want to bring arcologies back. It made the game feel like two distinct games, one before reaching 100k people and another game after 100k. The requirement for arcologies will have to be higher now. I wonder if there is a way to make something require, say, 1k people on a small map, 4k on a medium and 16k on a large.

Hello - again - Quaternus,

As I said in my post (above) - check out the SC4Devotion threads on their CAM (Collosal Addon Mod). These explain in extreme detail the Stage Limits of SimCity 4. Basically, what you are asking for, is a High Stage High Density building (and/or lot).

And if they don't have the particular building you are asking about - One or more of their CAM compliant buildings will most likely make a very reasonable substitute.

As to the different requirements for different sized city tiles - probably the best you are going to get is specifying either local (intra-city) or regional (inter-city) population totals.

Quarternus, do a search for "Sky Farm" in the STEX, see if that's what you are looking for.
