Best regions for solo play to make a great work.

[Rufus Honker IV 100]

I'd really like to build some great works, just to see how they work/look etc. I used Whitewater Valley because all the cites were connected but I was incredibly annoyed after researching the space center and sending all the resources that workers wouldn't go to help in the construction.  After doing some research I found mostly outdated information saying some regions seem buggy with great works - or at least the Space Center. 

 

Is there a region or a trick I can use that I can be sure I can pick any old Great Work and it will work, or is this still incredibly buggy, random and a lost cause?

I don't think there's a certain region or trick to it it might just be a matter of fate.

Veridian woods and titan gorge are my fav regions loads of open space. They worked well for airport and arcology

I started a post on simcity.com on the great works.  Mostly just Space Center is bugged on certain regions, but I'm working slowly on testing other regions.  Turns out there are very few that work with space center.

Finally made an Arcology.  My first completed great work!  I'm doing a 16-city region, Viridian Woods.  Will the Arcology benefit the whole region, or just the cities connected to it by road?

As far as I'm aware, only the cities directly connected to the Arcology by the highways will benefit.

@rufus .. Mushy is correct it only benefits the CLUSTERS that are connected to it usually by highway or rail.  Practical experience has shown me since GW's IMO are somewhat broken .. road is usually the best gauge.

 

A cluster by definition MAX can be 7 cities and 1 GW tied by road not rail
