I am starting my attempt of a mining city, as Zpike said, is quite a bit of fun. Nowhere near as much capital backed up while I run an hourly deficit, but trying to work out how to keep everything in the black is a blast. Big chunks of mone coming in every now and again. Only issue I had was my ore deposits were ALL UPWIND, which meant the few houses I could build upwind of the mines resulted in them sharing the same road the mine was on. At least it was a short commute to work! Managed to build a few houses on the opposite side of a river, which was still downwind of the mines, but just out of the way enough to not be a huge problem.

Please! A great idea. Looking through the posts here, every 2nd or 3rd topic is a request for players in a region. I am happy to see these if I want a region to play, but right now, I am here for the topical banter and complaining (for a laugh), and maybe a few helpful articles.

I had a never ending sewage problem, even when I was exporting to other cities. Constant riots until I built my own treatment plant... Very annoying.

Wow... Reminds me of that traffic jam in China (was it Beijing or Shaghai?) a few years ago that took days to clear. Why oh why are they not on the other bridge??

Thinking of prioritising industrial and mining in "Freeman's Reach" in this region. Off to a slowish start, looking after my citizens, and have a semi-upgraded Ore mine. Good so far!
