Tutorial on Drilling for Oil SimCity 1080P
DinosGG replied to DinosGG's topic in SimCity (2013) General Discussion
Hi everyone DinosGG and I've got the final part for oil all finished! Part 4: Part 4 is basically just the closing for the series, I've got all the ground work set to make as much money as I feel like making! I go over some of the trading numbers and do a small bit of optimization on my Oil Fields. There was a comment I was getting a lot on youtube and apparently you don't have to place the oil well main building on top of oil, it's just the pumpjacks that need to be on top of Oil, I wish I had known this before I started, great find from the viewers! If you've had fun watching this series don't forget to subscribe and check out my other tutorials, I have a video series on Electronics as well as Casinos (prepatch 2.0). I make millions with electronics and.. well... scrape by with Casinos lol. Electronics: Casinos: Thanks again everyone and enjoy! DinosGG youtube.com/dinosGG twitch.tv/DinosGG -

Yes but considering the boats can take 20,000 units and come twice a day, unless you've got so much manufacturing that you're making more than 50 shipping units a day (counting 50 since there are trucks too) it shouldn't be a factor. -

Hey everybody DinosGG here and this is part 3 on my series on how to build a drilling city! We're getting close to the end Oil is a great starting point for a new city it will earn you a ton of money really quickly! Part 3: The full playlist: In part 3 I start moving onto the refinery to make me money. A key thing about the Refinery is the difference between plastic and fuel. 1.2 units of oil ($9000 per shipping unit) make 2.4 units of plastic ($21000 per shipping unit), where fuel is made by 2.4 units of oil gets converted into 2.4 units of fuel (36000? per shipping unit). So basically plastic earns you $42000 for the same amount of oil, it's much more economical to make and export plastic since the global market still isn't enabled.

DinosGG here again and part 2 is all done, this one will be split into two separate videos due to comcast. Part 2: www.youtube.com/watch?v=wChancO6BHs Part 2-1: www.youtube.com/watch?v=WfIBe1cnEDU In these videos I get a bit of education down to help out with my sims getting sick and lighting themselves on fire. Later on I get the petroleum HQ plopped so I can start making refineries to bring in some real cash. Don't forget if you're looking for more tutorials to check out my electronics series, I go through step by step the setup process involved and we end up making a ton of money there too! Thanks for watching and stay tuned for more episodes! -DinosGG youtube.com/DinosGG twitch.tv/DinosGG -

Hi everyone I'm DinosGG and this is my third series on the specializations in Sim City, this time I focus on drilling for oil! Oil has a few big advantages because you can start earning money really fast, there isn't as much build up time as electronics. Part 1: www.youtube.com/watch?v=AW97wos4xxY The full playlist: www.youtube.com/watch?v=AW97wos4xxY&list=PL52nb8KiT9mYtluyFKSnmila6IyEslLn0&index=1 In my first video I get all the ground work laid out for my city and what my plan is going to be and get my first oil well up and cranking out oil! The city builds up pretty fast it's a great starter city if you're new to the game! Don't forget if you like this video to subscribe on youtube.com/DinosGG where I have a tutorial on Electronics as well as on Gambling (both are before patch 2.0) and you can check out the livestream twitch.tv/DinosGG for live content! Thanks for watching and enjoy! -

Tourism in general seems a LOT more profitable after the patch! At one point on a test city I was doing with just the tourism buildings and no casinos they were making well over $200k every day in the neighborhood of 10,000+ tourists. Would you guys be interested in seeing another video series for casinos later on down the road to show off these new changes? -

We found out something pretty interesting on the stream last night, your consumer electronics factory requires a certain education level in order to function at full capacity. My university wasn't close enough in another city I was building and so my factories were only running at half capacity. Anybody remember or know if that was in before patch 2.0? I never remember running into that problem. ALso another thing we found is the tooltips say each factory can product 3600 but were only ever producing 2400 at maximum. Anyone ever get a single factory making 3600 (or 14400) Computers or TVs? -

Here's the video as promised, I break down all the numbers required and how to calculate them for any specialization. This is current as of April 18th. The numbers were a little surprising! Don't forget to check out the full tutorial series on Electronics! Here's the playlist: www.youtube.com/watch?v=YK2mhJO6XQc&list=PL52nb8KiT9mZ2S2vuaLkKXgDyO_vYSrdV&index=1 -

Coming either tonight or maybe tomorrow I'm going to do a breakdown on what is most cost efficient after the patch with the price changes to trade. I haven't taken a look at what Electronics has been selling for in quite awhile. Stay tuned! Also check out my playthrough of Evoland if you haven't already, it's an old classic style RPG that made it through the steam greenlight process. I've never quite seen a game similar to this it's pretty unique! -

DinosGG and this is part 25 of my series on how to build a casino town! I get another opera house plopped down to start making even more money! With it I manage to hit 100k in gambling profit! From here on out I basically just try to see if I can hit 200k through tricks and microing the casinos on and off at key times to try and make the max amount of profit. But in my mind the city is complete from here. The reason for this, the gaming division does nothing for your high wealth casinos because roulette houses are broken, and the lodging division is so expensive and useless compared to the free hotels I have zoned. I'm still not even sure if the entertainment division is worth it because it isn't drawing tourists to that specific casino. If I had laid out my city a little different/better than this would be more profitable. This is the effective end of the series, I will post the remaining parts just in case you're interested. -

The problem is there is no way to force the commercial to zone into a hotel. You either just have to bulldoze it over and over again and get lucky or.. well that's really the only option! haha
