Specialty Shops

[Ocram's Razr 963]

In CitiesXL, all the shops consumed the same amount of food as restaurants and grocers. I suggest that Cities XL 2011 have shops that specialize in different resources: electronics shops (high tech products), hardware stores (heavy industruial products), clothing stores and other types of everyday shops (manufactured goods), tourism agencies (holidays), consultants (office services), beverage shops [aka bottled water, mineral water, soda] (water), and gas stations (fuel).

It would also be good if we had real recycling centers that took a fixed amount of garbage and turned it into heavy industrial products without polluting much. There should also be green/eco-friendly/high-tech heavy and manufacturing industry factories and oil fields. I go further to suggest that each residential building have a different population.

I do agree the variations of shop's did lack in Cities XL

Well, now we have unlocked gas stations, which consume fuel and produce retail.

when i customize my own buildings, i always have to change the values for the retail shops. even the large office buildings i'll add some retail services. MC had it so they would ALL convert agriculture into retail...but that isn't the case. usually i'll just convert retail into more retail. most shops don't convert food into retail goods!! they just take the goods, mark-up the price, and sell them at a profit.

if cxl2011 doesn't happen, this should be a good project for us to work on for the current game.
