Need help from you!

Hello ladies and gents,

 

I am here to ask you some help and to understand what I am doing.

 

I am currently building this city, as shown in the pic.

 

I first wanted to make it all R/C but I spotted at start this huge oil pool.

 

So I am thinking about making some kind of oil refinery type of city and then sell the production to the rest of my region.

 

Big problem is that I am a complete $%&^! at simcity and I absolutely have no clue about what to do lol.

 

I get quite some money from my factory, which I then send to the trade depot to export the oil and also use it to power my oil power station (sorry about the language mistakes, I am french).

 

Well, I don't really know what I should do to make this city "stand-alone", meaning using the oil to produce the electricity I need and sell the rest on the market.

I didn't grasp the concept of it so I am quite lost because my income is more than good but well, as you will probably see, there is a lot of non-sense...

 

All roads are now medium-density apart from the avenues which are like the highway exit (6 by 6) and I have just about one of each services excluding education.

 

Any help on a new builder would be much appreciated!

 

Have a good game.
