Questions on Great Works.

[Prophet42 1,501]

I have a question on building the Great Works.  When I start a great works, how should I set the trade depots in the cities for the needed resources?  Should they be set to 'Use Locally', 'Import Resource' or 'Export Resource'.  Right now I have them set to 'Export Resource' assuming that it will be 'exported' to the Great Work.  Is this correct?

No, I don't believe so. When you have it on 'Export Resource', I believe that your resources are being exported to the Global Market. You'll wanna keep it on 'Use Locally'. The Sims should start bringing the resources to the Great Works on their own as long as there isn't traffic getting in their way.

Thanks for the info CapTon.  I will try it out as 'Use Locally'

Alright let me know if it works. My information isn't always correct.

Just make certain your chosen Great Works project works in the region you've chosen, because... sadly... not all Great Works work in every region, and the developers have done nothing to correct such a major issue.

I believe there's a "Great Works" thread listing which Great Works works with which region. Check it out before you waste time working on a Great Work that'll never complete in a region, for whatever reason.

I have yet to get the spaceport to work, and sadly most great works haven't been very useful.

By "getting the spaceport to work", when you do, will it actually have rockets blasting off or that something we're just imagine happens?  Just curious...  

 

Thanks
