Can someone please explain what the stages mean and how you can get buildings from that stage. It's confusing when everyone is talking about stage 8 buildings, and I have downloaded some but they are not being built. Please explain why and the concept of stages???

Originally posted by: Peorth I recently discussed a bit about building stages here. The short of it is that building stages are a measure of how evolved or advanced a building is. Residential and commercial buildings have 8 stages while industrial has only 3. To get higher-stage buildings, you need to meet the stage limits. These are fixed population levels that you need to get before the higher-stage buildings appear. The population is computed in a regional basis, i.e. the total of all your R§ + R§§ + R§§§ regionwide. Below are the stage limits. Residential Stage Limits Stage 1: 0 Stage 2: 300 Stage 3: 507 Stage 4: 1,114 Stage 5: 3,181 Stage 6: 9,086 Stage 7: 25,952 Stage 8: 43,859 Commercial Office (Co) Stage Limits Stage 1: 0 Stage 2: 300 Stage 3: 507 Stage 4: 1,114 Stage 5: 3,181 Stage 6: 9,086 Stage 7: 25,952 Stage 8: 43,859 Commercial Service (CS) Stage Limits Stage 1: 0 Stage 2: 300 Stage 3: 507 Stage 4: 1,114 Stage 5: 1,882 Stage 6: 5,376 Stage 7: 15,356 Stage 8: 57,017 Industrial Stage Limits Stage 1: 0 Stage 2: 300 Stage 3: 2,447 Notes - the stage 1 limit is always 0 sims. That's why you start with purely stage 1 buildings until you meet the next stage level - stage limits for residential and commercial office are identical - stage limits for commercial service is identical to R and Co up to stage 4. Reference: Simcity Central Knowledge Bin, data originally compiled by cracatoa, published 30 January 2006. All figures refer to regional sim population. The discussion of stage limits is incomplete if you don't factor in the probabilities of getting buildings. Again, I discussed it a bit here. Hope you learned something today! quote> Thanks for that , very helpfull

Hi, I didn't know where to post this, so anyway, I have a BIG problem. I am using the moddified Grand Central Staition with the 3 rail tracks going right through it. It's Capacity is 20,000 but Iv'e already hit 50,000 and I will eventually get to 100,000. Can anyone put the capacity to 100,000, as I hae 3 Grand central stations over capacity, also there are other stations in my city with 2 rail lines going through them and have a capacity of only 6000 can anyone make stations with a capacity of 80,000???? My Monorail is over capacity too, are there any with a capacity of 10,000????

hi, the train stations on stex are too low anyone able to design good looking stations with high capacity, would bemuch appreciated. Also does anyone know if having transit stops over capacity, hurt commute time???

Hi first post so sorry if im doing it wrong. Just want to kno where i can download the network addon mod
