Duranis Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 I got this last weekend... Have to say I have put in WAY too many hours already. The other night I went on to "just play for an hour" while my mrs was having a bath. Next thing I heard birds chirping and realised the sun was starting to come up. Worst thing was about all I had done in that time was mess about tweaking the road system. Only annoying thing is that the parts of my cities where I don't plan anything and just chuck the roads down where they look pretty work perfectly. Then I spend hours planning out the perfect layout and it ends up getting gridlocked almost instantly. Also have a bad habit of restarting every time I learn some new trick just so I can use it from the start.
Joanne Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 and its payday tomorrow, SIM games are my weakness...... and its available for Mac/Linux too so i cannot go o well not supported on my platform. It SAYS it's supported on macs, but fair didn't want to play on my Macbook Pro... graphics letting it down. Something about not liking intel graphics and all macs have intel graphics... unless you are a linux guy, then in that case, disregard the ramblings above.

My Macbook Air has the Intel 3000 , my Mac Mini has the Intel 5000 and my Macbook Pro has the Intel 4000 with an Nvidia GT 650 M , so hoping one of those configs will like the game.
Joanne Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 Mine's the 3000. My samsung laptizzle plays it just fine though

Pro should be fine, it just doesn't like the Intel HD, so you'll have to make sure it uses the Nvidia.

pcstru Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 The dead ends are caused by you joining back up in the wrong direction - the roads are one way, so you have to draw the new links between the junction and the existing lanes dragging in the right direction for each lane. You can also select the "upgrade road" icon and then right click on the road to change the direction of a one way segment.
LosOjos Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 Sorry to jump in the middle of a thread - what's this game like resource wise? Just picked myself up a laptop and will be loading a couple of games on to it, but it only has Intel iGPU so not going to handle anything too intense. SimCity 2000 should be fine either way

It won't run on my Surface Pro 2 - although others report it does but even at low graphics settings, it is a little slow.

LosOjos Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 It won't run on my Surface Pro 2 - although others report it does but even at low graphics settings, it is a little slow. The laptop I'm getting has a marginally faster 2.3GHz i5, so it may just be playable... Then again it's a couple of generations older so it may actually be worse in terms of GPU performance.

I thoguht as longs its the latest HD Cards (latest drivers and BIOS updates you should be alright. All you can do is try. My Card not listed as supported but works fine.
Joanne Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 I found the little button in the top left last night and realised it tells you where resources are!!! So I bought a patch of land and I am drilling for oil. I'm a slow learner!!!

So I bought a patch of land and I am drilling for oil. I'm a slow learner!!! Dont worry. Started over 3 Times so i could move things around. Build New roads and junctions. (Then i found the bulldozer )
Joanne Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Hahahah! I refuse to start again, even though my city has many flaws. One annoying thing at the moment, I've had to start emptying a cemetery (built a crem next to it for ease) and now there are dead people everywhere!! I know you guys mentioned before that it was a glitch... it's well annoying!! I'm starting to just bulldoze the buildings with dead people in there to stop them from being abandoned anyway... good idea or bad idea?
featured_spectre Posted March 25, 2015 Author Posted March 25, 2015 Do not put too many oil derricks down, make one building in that industrial site an oil specialist. Otherwise you run out...FAST. It took 2 in game years for my oil and ore to run out when I placed down 6 derricks and 6 mines...so I changed it now to just 1 and its lasting much much longer. The rest of the area around the derrick and mine is just general industry.
JRowley Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 whos using the unlimted money cheat? (Mod) Nope, I have more money than I can spend as it is, no need!
CAM Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 I emptied my oil reserves ASAP and converted them to forestry. I don't know why they picked polluted ground to grow trees but the pollution is gone. Also farmland doesn't need fertile ground and doesn't generate ground pollution so it's safer to put near your residential areas in small quantities. But it does generate more sewage and noise.
featured_spectre Posted March 25, 2015 Author Posted March 25, 2015 I currently generate around 40k a week, so have no need for the money cheat. I am running on speed 1 also

The only real issue with not building it on fertile land is that they will import a lot more goods.
