Build lot of commercial zones around the casino and I built it near the ferry terminal. Also, try building a bus stop near the casino. That is how I did.

When you click on the garbage layer, does it show '0 of xxxx' collected? or is it just 0 out of 0? Apparently, the recycling center can get buggy anyway. It randomly stops working, and refuses to process the plastics/metals, and comes up with errors like "no recyclables to collect" or something. looks like I will never be able to bring balance. Jobs, commercial demand, residential zones everything is high I don't think that's even possible anyway, after the first few minutes in the game. Don't go crazy on the zoning. Just make sure you have enough space around your houses/apts for them to expand, and control which kind of sims you have by changing the taxes. I like to have medium wealth sims, so I lower their taxes and raise low wealth taxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somebody Posted March 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 That message keeps on popping up in the left hand side one after the other... Ah... don't worry about what the stupid advisers are saying. They are still buggy and very annoying. guys whats ur maxmimum earning per hour reached so far ? I was at around +12k profit per hour this weekend. I'm not sure if it considers the Oil exports that I was doing. I think it ended up lower by the time I stopped playing though. Lots of new buildings like the Oil refinery and all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Django_3101 Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 Placing buildings is such a PITA. Wasted a huge amount of money last night on oil refinery. I placed the refinery on top of oil hub, to realize it later that pipeline that was dug up at the place where there was no oil Had to destroy the refinery (No oil, production stopped) I waited for around half-an-hour to see if it was some kind of bug.

Somebody Posted March 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 Haha... Btw, I think you're talking about an Oil drill or something, not the refinery. The refinery is used to refine the Crude Oil into Plastics and Fuel I had to go through waaaay too much trouble to unlock that. Make sure you have the 'Oil' filter on when you're placing the drills. You can draw the service road, and place the drills quite a bit further from the main drilling station too. I think you can build like 7-8 drills per station. Also, when you're placing the drill/pumpjack, you can see how many gallons is available at that exact point by just hovering over a snap-point with the drill selected. Also, anybody interested in setting up a university? I can unlock the Dept. of Education if you'd like. I have like two modules available for the City Hall, and I don't know which one to use. They're quite pointless to me, at least in this city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May be you can unlock the department of education(if you have extra money), it might be useful when we claim the second city in this region Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sachin... Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 lol i destroyed pro stadium no profit updar se ek event ka itna paisa hai ki bas Globe theatre is good to earn money i realised that there is not much money in specialization unless u build almost everything related to it (i mean if ur building casino city then build all casinos not jus 1 or 2) my basic casino earn around 13-15k in a day and its expense is 1k/hr so only 1-3k profit in a day which is very bad considering the space it occupies i build dock but its in loss so had to shut down, train station is important most annoying thing is garbage collection, wtf i have garbage dump plant at 3 places still its not enough , do we need recycle center compulsory ? also ground pollution is almost everywhere any reason for that ? i even dont have any industrial area there still it shows ground pollution when u ran out of space its very hard to earn money atleast for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Somebody Posted March 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 refinery only. It was unlocked for me from the very beginning, it is just that I didn't have money to build it. May be you can unlock the department of education(if you have extra money), it might be useful when we claim the second city in this region The refinery doesn't drill oil. You'll have to import oil, for the Refinery to work. It must've been unlocked for you because I unlocked it earlier. If you don't wanna import oil, then you'll have to drill it yourself, using the oil drills/pumpjacks/or whatever they're called. move a building option should be added......common sense wali baat hai yeh vaise tha ea should have added this option Haha... Yeah. It would've been so much more convenient if they had that option, but that'll change the whole dynamic of the game. The game places Oil reserves in a couple of places in a city. If you were able to move buildings, you would just extract everything from one spot, and then move all your buildings to the second spot. Maybe they wanted to add a little bit of a challenge lol i destroyed pro stadium no profit updar se ek event ka itna paisa hai ki bas Globe theatre is good to earn money i realised that there is not much money in specialization unless u build almost everything related to it (i mean if ur building casino city then build all casinos not jus 1 or 2) my basic casino earn around 13-15k in a day and its expense is 1k/hr so only 1-3k profit in a day which is very bad considering the space it occupies i build dock but its in loss so had to shut down, train station is important most annoying thing is garbage collection, wtf i have garbage dump plant at 3 places still its not enough , do we need recycle center compulsory ? also ground pollution is almost everywhere any reason for that ? i even dont have any industrial area there still it shows ground pollution when u ran out of space its very hard to earn money atleast for me It looks like it's pretty hard to make a profit off the Pro Stadium. You're better off just building the Expo. warning: Don't build a casino city. The higher level casinos are very hard to make profit off of. The devs acknowledged that they need to tweak the casinos. The dock is probably not profitable, coz the others in the region don't have a dock. If we had docks, I think our sims would travel between the cities in ferry. Build an incinerator. It'll increase Air pollution, but it'll at least increase the time it takes to fill up those garbage dumps. p.s: If any of you guys need a little bit of money, lemme know. I think there's an option to Gift money between cities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Django_3101 Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 Then, I still have to learn a lot about the game I saved the chunk, spent on building refinery and then destroyed it, OMG!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somebody Posted March 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 Then, I still have to learn a lot about the game I saved the chunk, spent on building refinery and then destroyed it, OMG!!! I'll gift some money to you the next time I log into the game, maybe tonight or tomorrow. My expenses blew up lately, and I'm running at almost 0 profit/loss per hour. I'm guessing it's because of the hospital, large police station, and large firestation that I had to build, to keep the sims civilized. Too much sickness/fire/crime in my city So, I'll wait till I bring my expenses under control, and then build the education and transport upgrades. Btw, I have a high demand for R and I, and no demand for C. I'm mainly looking for medium wealth residents, so if you guys can, build a little bit extra. I can provide power. p.s: Please list what City hall upgrades you guys have built. I'll list it in the OP/second post so that we don't build the same departments.Check second post occasionally edit: Also, check out simcitystrategy.reddit.com for some tips/tricks. The side bar there, has some useful links too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Somebody Posted March 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 I gifted $150,000 (50k + 100k) each to Django and meharjas... I'll do the same to Sachin when he gets his city up and running. I also placed a dept. of safety, and dept. of education in my city, so you should be able to build a university and high school too. @django... You don't need two different Oil Drills. You could've just built one, and then added drills to that, by 'edit'ing it. I think you can have like 7-8 drills per facility. Also, tweak your taxes. I think you have 9% tax for all industrial, and mixed 11% and 10% for residential and commercial. Use the taxes to restrict your city to whichever kind of population you want in your city. Some key points:1. More Low wealth people fit in a building than High-wealth. I don't remember the exact numbers, but (never mind. Found the link)for example, a High Density Low wealth building will have space for 600 low-wealth sims, but a High Density High Wealth building will have space only for 100 High-wealth sims. 2. High wealth sims have more demands than lower wealth ones. Like they'd want an airport, and they won't travel on buses and streetcars. 3. Low-wealth industries produce more pollution than higher-wealth ones. 4. If you have High wealth Commercial, and don't have High-wealth residential, they'll keep complaining about 'no shoppers'. I think that's the problem you're having. etc. So, plan your taxes based on which kind of sims you'd like in your city. After I get to a certain population and medium wealth sims are moving in, what I do is, raise taxes for low RCI, and high RCI, and reduce the medium RCI i.e., increase taxes for Residential, Commercial and Industrial of Low and High wealth sims, while reducing the medium ones. Currently, I have my taxes as 12% for Low and High RCI, and 9% for Medium RCI. So, now, I have mostly medium wealth sims except for a couple of high wealth ones who keep complaining about the taxes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
