GRUNEN

This is a great idea.  It is very well thought out and does work.  I tried it a little and had one thought: it takes a lot of micromanagement.  You must be aware of when the current site is full, and switch dumpsites.  Once your city gets pretty big, that process speeds up tremendously.  You seem to be building a small town/rural CJ, so this idea works brilliently for you, I just wanted to share my thoughts.  Great job on the CJ, I just adore the region views.

@usfwoody: Your comment is greatly appreciated! Actually I am developing a metropolis CJ. Why you can't see it now? We are at the beginning and I am developing it slowly and try to role play the different political forces involved in the development process. Since the opening of the dump regions population nearly has doubled. I am working on an entry that shows the region shots I have taken to make the development visible. I think you will pretty much like it. I also will do a time lapse animation of the region shots. But that is later on the list.

You are right; this dump involves micromanagement. As I have said the City of GRUNEN imports all of the regions waste. As the region has grown immensly by now (2 GY after the opening shot in the CJ above) the cycling function of the dump was dropped. And more: the dump was enlarged. The dumping space nowadays has nearly doubled and it is still not enough. The mayor of the City of GRUNEN is in negotiations with the surrounding cities to terminate the import contracts to restore the cycling function of the dump. Negotiations are very difficult. Nobody wants the waste and there is simply no other dump in the region. One possible solution is to bury the waste in the depleted areas of the Philipp Mine in Bay-North. Oh, I am talking to much. I think I have to do a follow up entry in this journal on the waste question... :)

Hope you will join me.

This really is a great idea. Shilka is a genius  Its cool to see that you have incorparated it into your gameplay. I just might too.
