not that it matters, but the banished club doesn't have the "join" button. is mebbe because designated 'public' instead of 'open' again, i don't think it makes a difference, except for not showing little member icons, but i'm a button masher at heart, lol this is a delightful option, since we don't quite merit our own subforum...

Here I am showing to you how to deal with riots on your cities Enjoy: Sometimes, the police can't handle riots on your city yea? And when the riot spread on your city,what can you do? It's just simple... Hurl some meteors on where they're rioting if you run out of police cars, it always works when you know how to control the meteor Do you se any rioter or survivor here? I'm sure you'll answer NO! Or you can send a lighting bolt on their heads and wait until their building burns. In the end, you city will be peaceful again. Hope you've enjoyed and I helped you :D :D

Lost Gifts, Shared Recycling not working, Suggestions
Zman007 posted a topic in SimCity (2013) Technical Help Q&A
I decided to come back to SimCity after a few months off. I have spent 77 hours in the game recently. I have four cities in a region, and total local region size of close to a million sims. First, the bugs: I'm playing by myself in sandbox mode. I have lost multiple gifts in the millions of $s from one city to the other. This problem alone has almost bankrupted the whole region and trashed hours of my time. Additionally, the recycling trucks being shared aren't traveling from their city of origin to the city they are assigned to. Shared services like sewage are unexpectedly turning off. And finally, though I have train passenger stations in all cities, only one city shows sims using the service - 25,000 a day. All the other cities show 0 passengers. Oh - and the game crashes about once an hour. Besides these bugs, which have made the game nearly unplayable, I have several suggestions for how this game needs to be modified. 1. Mass transportation is not nearly effective enough given city size and building footprint. I have four cities. In just one of those cities, I have: a passenger train station, a regional bus station, three smaller bus stations, four park and rides, and a streetcar system - it's a city of 250,000. In just this one city, there are 32 buses, 8 streetcars, 12 streetcar stops, 35 bus stops, and a train station. Park and rides are located in residential areas. Bus stops are planted throughout all the cities and all routes are green with coverage. This is the same setup for all three other cities. And yet, I only have about 55,000 sims using mass transit for the entire region of almost 1 million! That's ridiculous. I've used up almost 8% of land area on mass transit, not including roads. And since I've heard that each city can grow up to 500,000, and yet I've pretty much maxed out mass transit, but traffic is horrible, there is only one reasonable answer: The number of sims using mass transit needs to be increased by a factor of 10 to work properly! 2. Recycling centers are constantly warning that their lines are full. I have two plastic lines, one metal line and one alloy line at one plant. I have 8 pickup trucks and 4 delivery trucks at that plant. I then have three trade depots that include 6 plastic warehouses, 2 alloy warehouses and 2 metal warehouses. The recycling center is close to the trade depots and set up to export everything. And yet, I get constant warnings that my recycling centers are backed up. If I'm that maxed out, this shouldn't happen. Deliveries to trade depots from recycling centers need to happen 2X more often and exports from trade depots need to follow. 3. The whole trash and recycling system is completely flawed. Some days only some trucks will go out, or none will go out at all. There is no warning system in place when trash is piling up until it is WAY too late to fix the problem. If your trucks miss even 1 bag of trash a day, that will eventually add up until you have tens of thousands of bags destroying your city. Recycling for a city of 250,000 can't be covered with a fleet of 42 recycling trucks - that alone is completely wrong. The recycling stacks up and pisses off my sims, and yet there is nothing I can do to get rid of it short of creating a new city that does nothing but recycle. But oh wait! My city with all the recycling trucks only occasionally gets their trucks over to my city that needs help. And do not tell me that's because of traffic. See point 1, above. I've done everything beyond reason to max out mass transportation. Recycling MUST be limited to the amount of material that can be picked up by the trucks you have available, no matter how many or how few trucks there are. 4. You cannot schedule when your recycling and trash trucks go out. This means they always go out during max traffic hours, unstaggered. We need to be able to schedule when trash trucks go out. And even better, assign an area for them to clean up and the city needs to show you when you don't have enough trash and recycling set up to cover the needs of the current population. This must update when populations increase, or trash and recycling need to be able to magically pick up everything in the area they've been assigned regardless of population growth. 5. You can't reasonably figure out how to plop a trade port and dock. I spent almost a million dollars, setting up trade ports, only to find out that no dock could support it, then destroy it to set it up somewhere else where *fingers crossed* the dock could also work. Plopping a trade port needs to be able to happen without a road being present - the road can be put down later - AND it needs to show where the dock could go, and confirm that the dock can be plopped in that area as well. Ok - wall of text done. I think this game could still be awesome. It's addictive. But it's so deeply flawed, that I can't keep playing it without it driving me insane. -

The technology of the satellites and the Internet bring us even closer, by giving us the opportunity to learn from each other and demolish silly stereotypes. From this topic, feel free to teach your country's culture to everybody here in Simtropolis, in order to make a beautiful puzzle of colours and sounds. Share with us all the best (and worst) things from your country and learn the best (and worst) from the other countries. For instance, I'll teach you about Greece Hellas and you'll teach me about your country as well
