pram posted:my towers were basically 100% offices with food courts in the lobby levels and a hotel at the top so unfortunately it has little replay value lol if you didn't have your hotels on the lower levels so you could run one service elevator to the recycling centers and also have it serve your hotels so you don't have to waste one of your limited elevators on a second service elevator just lol ~Coxy posted:i never understood anything about that elevator shaft properties dialog except setting the home floor of the cars, which made at least a little sense standard floor departure explains itself, it's how long the elevator waits before moving floors closer than moving cars means if there is a car waiting within X floors, the stationary car will take it, otherwise a moving car will take it lower numbers = more cars moving at a time ~Coxy posted:you can do this in Yoot Tower and I think they have sky bridges too yoot tower owns

~Coxy posted:problem being all these are magic numbers that you just have to mess with and see if wait times get worse or better yeah and you could set it for like 6 or 8 different time periods on weekdays and also 6 or 8 different time periods on weekends elevators were the worst part of sim tower also i never found an answer to this: a sim won't take more than 2 elevators, or one other method (stairs/escalator) then elevator so it's literally impossible to get from a non-express elevator floor to another non-express elevator floor like i managed to figure that out as a child, but the game still throws warming messages like "people on floor 3 can't get to floor 37" when it's literally impossible in the game mechanics

Adult Sword Owner posted:*crashes and sets ur fusion plant on fire because you play with disasters on* i actually got a nuclear meltdown once but the mac has a weird problem where if you don't manually allocate enough memory (lol) and sim city runs out of memory, the newspapers are "on strike". so that happened and i still have no idea what the newspaper looks like when you have a nuclear meltdown

Sagebrush posted:i remember the first time i got to 60,000 people in simcity 2000 and got the military base reward. i was so excited to get a cool air base and have the fighter jets. but then apparently i didn't have enough free land so they gave me a missile silo instead. i was 7 or 8 years old and i literally cried it's not how much space you have iirc, it's the general topography very mountainous = missile silos, coast = navy base, etc

Werthog 95 posted:build a lobby in the bottom right corner for megabucks are you referring to the cash doubling trick? it's not a lobby, it's just your first click within the game window also if you have a 2-star tower you can build a 2x3 set of fast food restaurants underground and instantly find the buried treasure doesn't work if you have three stars though

BANME.sh posted:what's wrong with sc4? afaik it was the spergiest of the bunch and by that metric alone it's seen as the best. unless there's something about 3000 that i am missing. "streets" versus "roads" two different sizes of police/fire/hospital having to slider janitor funding for everything it's a big pile of poo poo

Sagebrush posted:i had no problem with streets vs. roads or two sizes of police station because these are actually things that have to be dealt with and balanced in real cities but that doesn't make a fun game it would be like taking a break from a starcraft battle and having to play a mini game where you go to the widow's house every time a marine is killed in battle it's more accurate at the direct expense of fun
