In the region I'm playing in, we decided to go for the International Airport. And so construction began. However, we've been sending materials to it for a couple of hours(real life), we've noticed what we believe is a bug. It requires 2000 Metal, however there are 3 cities sending to it... Each city is displaying a different amount of recieved metals. We then tried to do a reboot, after which we were told that all the metal had been filled, and so with excitement we began sending Alloys instead. A few minutes later, I checked it again, now it says once again that it still needs metal... What the hell... So basicly, can someone confirm if this is a bug ? Or perhaps, just server lag?...

I've been playing this game for quite some time now. But for the love of christ I can't get my sims to develop into High Wealth. They have all the different educational buildings, parks, services, water/power ofc... I've got plenty of jobs for them aswell... Can someone care to explain how to do it ?

I think we will need to wait for the AI pathfinding gets updated..

There are absolutely no proof on that idea. Not even any statistical evidence, which makes me believe that age dosn't matter, but instead each branch giving access to a specific job level (Which is proven, even in the description of the buildings). What do you mean by offload? If you want to destroy a city, that fastest and easiest way is to make it go bankrupt. Build a ton of services and gift the remaining money away to another city.

The citizens that participate in these riots, seriuously have a long term memory.

It does seem to be a bug in the AI pathfinding, however I have seen up to 30% with 0mins waiting for my cities... This could only be archieved with the help of bus' and enough trams. The issue right here, could actually also be because of the unrealistic high number of stops. As in, if there is not enough trams, then ppl will get tired of waiting, because it will feel like it never comes around to that stop... Also, each stop increases the wait time... Remember that... I personally, never place them that close, as each stop (tram, bus, schoolbus signs) have a rather large radius...

What this guy is saying... You might have problems with traffic, thereby causing the trucks to be stuck in traffic. Have you remembered to have the appropriate depot at the trade depot ? Enough trucks? And lastly, server delay is still quite heavy when it comes to great works...

Every branch of educational building will give your citizens access to different jobs... If you look at your educational lvl, you'll see that there are like 5 stars/hats, this represents your "educational versus technology lvl". To fx get access to I-HT, you dont just need a university, but also its predesessors(spelled?), as each different branch will increase your educational lvl, and thereby your technology lvl over time..

Spread the word... The problems with the servers is getting fixed, more and more people are starting to be able to play... Soon they can focus there attention on the actual problems, which at first was hidden by these servers... Like pathfinding and such... Note: Not a hijacking attempt, just trying to get some positive feelings into the scene... Hey Yilmas, sad to say that I have been playing this game for a bit now and even once you manage to get into a game there are some seriously fundamental aspects to the game that are broken. Knowing you, I know you would be just as upset as lots of people are if you had a chance to experience how badly this game was executed. I have this wierd feeling that I know you But as I mentioned in another thread, I do not know anything, however I choose to believe. Believe that Maxis, with their great legacy in making epic games, can overcome this challenge, just as they have proven before...

Jobs perhaps ? Also, the RCI demands is a bit wierd atm... As in getting false readings...

Yes, or trading with cities...

Sure it is... Water does not disappear, it will only be made into "unclean water"... I have an infinite water supply by using pumping + cleaning station... Which in some countries in the real world, is how it's actually done... So I feel it is a bit logical... (Please note the word "bit")...

I dont defend EA, but I will defend Maxis... Not being ignorant, but right now the issue lies at Maxis, not EA... The people that are playing this game, usually dont have the time/forgets to say it... The people not being able to play will always yell about it... This is how it is has worked for years, and always will... All I'm trying to do, is to create a positive atmosphere among all the complain...

You can keep playing...

Ground polution is removed by time alone... However it does seem as if trees might have an effect aswell, however no proof has been seen so far.. Some have also claimed that garbage dumps can have a positive effect if build on top of ground polution, if there capacity is kept in check...

The game is already broken so doesnt make much difference at this point. If it was broken it would be unplayable, which clearly Simcity is NOT broken. It been unplayable for many for days you been living under a rock? I cannot play right now servers disconnected, it is literally unmplayable. And so far I've had 12 hours of inaccessibility... Where about 6-7 of those was on EU release day...

1st time it took 7 hours, which was during the 2nd hour of EU release... 2nd time took 5mins, 1 day ago... 3rd time has yet to show up, been 1 hour...

This is very true. I believe that is only the core infrastructure ie PD/FD/Healthcare, that works nights aswell... (and power/water ofc)..

I've increased density and land value but my cities just won't grow; when I say grow I'm talking about the actual population, I have a nice, pretty wealthy city but the actual population never increases by much. I decided to minimize SimCity and just let it play for a while to see if the numbers will increase at all. Heres the pictures: My skyline is to left with 60k people, the skyline to the right has 99k and its far smaller than mine. The density is pretty terrible as well from what I saw on my visit to the city. Here's my neighboring city that has 99k with a pathetic skyline and infrastructure, yet his/her population is higher than mine. Showing my cities park system and length of the skyline. Another view of the skyline and growth is evident from this image. So I don't understand what to do to grow my city, my neighbors are all poorer than I am and my is the hub of the four city area of my part of the region but it just doesn't grow. First off, how did you get those tiles ? The lines on the ground.... Since this is a new game, I have not yet familiarized myself with all the building shapes and such. So I'm just gonna ask a few questions, that might seem self-explanatory if looking at the picture... Do you have enough jobs to support future growth ? (about 60% of your population should be working already). How are the goods to commercial going, do they have enough ? Thereby making sure the commercial have enough goods to sell to the citizens. How is the coverage of health care ? This is a much bigger issue in Simcity 2013, than it was in the previous games. Education is less important, when it comes to the masses of population, that is more about increasing your workforce. (Atleast from what I've seen). Police and Fire stations are of less importance, however no one likes a burned down building, or an assault on the walkway...

I play on a non-english version, so dont know the exact wordings. But have you remembered the Recycled Collector trucks, so that you gather the recyclable material faster. I have 1 center with 3 plastic converters, full on the trucks. And it is able to keep one processor factory at full load...

increase density and landvalue...

the money will get there... but is right now caught in limbo within the server sync... You might be lucky and recieve it in minutes, or unlucky and instead hours...

First statement is true.... it will make it into what ever addons you use...

Will Wright said it the best: source Utilize the datamaps (which you can find at the bottom right corner). Those maps can show you what you are missing to get things up and going...
