Takes ages for neighboring city to realise what you've placed!

Not sure if this is a bug or not, but I've noticed it takes a long time for the neighboring cities to communicate with each other when something new is placed. For example, I place a wind farm in one city, and it has the ability to run two cities, as they're quite small for now. But it takes ages for the neighboring city to realise the other city has placed a wind farm, so it takes ages for me to be able to buy the power from them, and when I finally get the option to buy the power, it uses none of it for ages, then finally starts using it. Another thing is when you are doing your commercial and residential in one city, and industrial in another, it takes forever for the people to go to the other city for work, which is very annoying.

 

The example of the power is the same with water, sewage, etc. Sending trucks to neighboring cities seems to be fine though.

Your changes to the city is uploaded every 5-10mins or so... According to my network logs atleast...

So yes, it does take a bit of time, to sync everything (if we look past any possible server issues)...

 

The second part, is an issue within the agent engine, more specificly pathfinding. Because, yet again, the engine uses these agents to find out where there is work, and if it is in a neighbouring town, it will take time... Kinda like reallife (Read: Jobs in your own town are much easier to locate, than those in the town next to you)...
