I've noticed a difference, though not sure if it was the patch or a random bug just going away. Before the patch my city stopped exporting sewage, and was having huge issues with water and power despite both being in abundance. These problem showed up randomly. Now after the patch things seem to be working they were before they went to hell. I haven't checked my air pollution map. Will get back to you when I do

How does the Police Precinct Work? I plopped one down but the blue police line only covers a small portion of my map. Do I need more police cars? Need to build additional stations in different areas? Also does the dispatch tower do anything? Since the blue only covers a small area of the map does that mean crime outside the blue area will go unchecked?

I though I would give it a few days to see if the problem fixed it's self but nope still there. I'm only producing 100k or sewage, region has 500k available, but only exporting 80k for some reason. I have it set to buy from everyone have enough cash. Another problem just popped up. Even though I have 100k of extra water being produced and I've never had a power or water shortage in days. All of a sudden my city hall needs water. It's still connected via roads. So I don't know what's happening

From what I've seen most people are specializing into electronics, since that's the most profitable. Once the simulated pricing comes online. I expected there to be a huge drop in electronic pricing, unless EA has minimum price point set

For some reason my city has stopped exporting sewage to the region. My sewage was being my other cities in my region, now all of a sudden sewage is backing up in my city. There is plenty of capacity available in the region. The sewage just doesn't want to go there. The amount of sewage being exported is slowly going down. My city is still connected to the region. So why would it suddenly stop sending sewage?

Yes if traffic is congested you trucks can't leave to make the deliveries. I believe is you ship out using rail or water, you can still ship while avoiding the traffic delays

Hi is it possible to change the orientation of parks? I have a curved road with a small strip of land next to it. I wanted to put the tree lined walkway or short tree row there, but it only allows vertical placement. I was wondering is it possible to place it horizontal?

You can have low wealth and high density. I don't believe there is a relationship between wealth and density. As far as I know wealth is based on the land value. Which goes up due to parks and nearness of certain services.

Am I missing something, or is it cheaper to buy energy then produce it? I'm currently using wind to power my city. When comparing prices it's cheaper for me to buy electricity from the region then the maintenance cost. Is this also true for coal/oil plants? Seems weird

Thanks, so I can place the trade port anywher I want? I see rail entering my city. Does the port have to be there? Your port has to be near the rails or water. Basically you deploy a trade port and then there is a rail module that you can place on rails near the trade port. If you want it on water you make the trade port near water and then build the sea port module. Thanks. I need the depot before I can get the port . Any preference to rail or water?

Hello everyone. I did a google search and found this forum. Browsed the posts and learned quite a bit. I still have a few questions. 1) Is is possibe for my students to go to school in another city? I really can't afford to upgrade my schools, and my neighbor has free desks. 2) I believe I have a regional rail service in my city. So should my trade deopt be right next to the rail lines? I need to make heavy rails first right? 3) Can the fire/police/health be placed anywhere? Or if you have a large city do you need to spread them out to reduce response times? 4) I'm having a terrible time with traffic. my main avenues get jammed at times. I'm confused with public transportion. How far apart should the bus stops be? Do I need seperate bus lines linke they have in real life? Do I need stops on both sides of a two way street? I did make a few bus stops, but hardly anyone uses them. There all in low and medium wealth areas so they should be getting on.
