space center worker issues

[FreakMagnet 0]

so I am running COT on a pc. I have successfully made a working space center in single player mode, but playing the same map in multi player I cannot finish construction because the game says I don't have enough workers. ive done this with COT towers full of people and when I cant get workers I close all industry in the city, trading depots/ports, academy control centers, etc. 'til I jackup the unemployment in every wealth level and in every city connected to the space center. ive also run the same experiment using cities with no COT in them.

Unfortunately, the space center great works doesn't work in every region in multiplayer mode, due to a bug of some sort. To date, EA has done nothing to correct the issue... other than enable offline mode, of course. At this time, I don't believe there's any fix, other than playing offline, as you've already successfully done.

 

Is there a reason you're deciding to play SimCity online? Unless you'd prefer to play with friends, I would continue playing offline.

I haven't played offline yet, but you can fix the space center in mp by installing the regional roads mod.  It is compatible with mp if you get the online version.  The offline version will not work and kill your online city forever.

 

Once installed, all you need is to be able to redraw the main entrance road from the space center's existing entrance road to the freeway.  Make sure to go past the freeway so it makes new road in the dirt so you know it is completely connected.  otherwise it sometimes still doesn't connect properly.

 

Also, you need to be in a city plot next to the great work's site, otherwise you may not be able to reach it to draw it.

 

 

I went over all of the regions great works' sites last summer and found that the space center is bugged on many maps.  Here's the link to the thread at the simcity forums.
