Sim City 5

[Herr Matzat]

When we open our next region, maybe we can try to build more as a society. Like one town as the big power suplyer and so on.

It's hard to do anything like that right now, I tried to build a casino city but I bought one of the $120,000 casino's and it lost tons of money. After searching online a guy from Maxis said that casino's are bugged. I've also had issues with mines not getting water despite having tons of water and the recycling centre not doing anything and saying it's full, which are both known bugs too.

[Herr Matzat]

I had casinos "working" but only when i had the stadium packed. The rest of the time it was costing loafs of money.

It was quiet cool to see how the trafic changes when the city is overrun by tourists, yellow caps everywere!

Weren't casinos the subject of one of the big "look how awesome this game will be" videos they did before release?

[Herr Matzat]

Nah, they just showed it of as one specilisation. (of overall six possible ones i belive)

Still working towards the international airport. The city sending oil was losing 20k an hour so I had to change things around to stop it going bankrupt. Kicked out a lot of the richer people and got some more working class in, ditched the university and some of the nice parks etc and replaced them with good old factories.

I've got an oil deposit. I just can't afford to build the oil well. And the oil deposit is under a big chunk of my residential zones. >_>

[Herr Matzat]

I don´t know about that airport. Right now the number of how much i send was jumping up and down, i got the feeling i send ton´s of goods into digital oblivion. Also there is not much i can do in my supling city right now, so with cheeta speed disabled it´s realy draging on.

My other citys universety is working on unlocking the solar power plant right now., so asides theee arc we could also do that next. But it kinda is the same, i can´t change anything and have to wait for it to finish.

How the hell do I send oil to the airport?

[Dan]

You go to the great works site in the region map then click the little power button under crude oil, until it goes green. Then you set your trade depots that store oil to use it locally (don't export it).

Got 118 500 of 250 000 oil in the airport now, but the metal and alloy are both quite low, they come from another city and I can only control one at a time.

[Herr Matzat]

I technicly can provide good amounts of metal and alloy but it´s just so slow and i need to play Heart of the Swarm >_>

I just logged in to start sending oil to the airport, and it said it didn't have any.

Question to anyone who has this: How bad is the downloadable content in a "This really oughta have been in the game to start with" sense?

Welcome to the video game industry, circa the 21st century. Nickle & dime, nickle & dime, must....keeep....nickle and diming..

I'm acidxlxlxburn because I didn't know the origin name would be my name on the gameworld as well.

[Dan]

The airport now has all the oil it needs. It won't let me into my other city though so can't send anything else until it lets me in

[King.]

Invite me! acidxlxlxburn

Kotaku and Notch have proven you can play this perfectly fine offline, in the meantime.

[apsham]

..in practice or are you referring to one of the developers anonymously coming out to say that writing an offline code "wouldn't take much engineering at all."?

[Katsuya]

There's a post on Kotaku where he managed to play it offline for 19 minutes before the game noticed and it was playing (mostly) perfectly fine.

[Dan]

I played for 15 minutes~ when my internet cut out, then reconnected when it came back on.

I'm not bothered about online only, just hope they can fix some bugs.
