I believe that the power plant aging is a leftover from SimCity 2000, when there was no maintenance fees on power plants - so instead of X per year, the cost works out to 50X per fifty years. Beyond this, I completely agree with what Crissa said. Hey, maybe they'll fix this in Sim City 5! ...wait... :-\

These questions may have already been asked, but I skimmed the last six pages and saw nothing, and further back would be info for an old version, so I'll cross my fingers and hope for the best. First, most pressing: I created a rather exciting () region file and loaded it up in SimCity. Everything looks fine, but when I go to start a new city, it tells me the edges need reconciliation... I tried doing this, but it set the heights to nonsensical levels that had nothing to do with the neighboring tiles! Am I overlooking something, or is this just a SimCity bug? I know I can ignore the option to reconcile, but... still... it's enough to drive an obsessive compulsive personality like mine insane! Secondly - Another region I created, I ended up wanting to knock down in size. I exported to png, loaded, cropped, started a fresh region, imported, and... it was so blocky! I'm guessing my graphics editor may have gotten rid of some subtle color information... but I tried doing this in Paint.NET and the GIMP, and I'm not going to pay $400 for Photoshop... are there any graphics editors that people've used with success? (and yes, I saved as a greyscale image, didn't mess with the palettes or levels or anything beyond a simple crop-job - I'm no graphics engineer or anything, but I'm not stoopid ) Thanks in advance for all your help!
