Problems with the 2 new ratings
Posted: 29 Jul 2016, 23:45
Hello, this is my first post on this forum.
I've been playing this game since alpha, and it's been great to see it grow so much!
However, I've run into a few problems since the latest beta patch, 1.1.77:
One of my biggest cities in patch 1.1.75, with over 15k habitants, got completely destroyed since this patch. I used to make over a million per month and also had many tall buildings, but since this patch all of them got abandoned and I was also losing 100k per month. While it's understandable that cities might change between updates, this was simply brutal.
Nonetheless, I have run into a bigger problem. Whenever I start a new city, everything seems fine: I build only what's necessary at first (i.e. water and energy) and add more as I go on, like elementary schools for middle class inhabitants and other things, such as hospitals and parks.
Yet I always get stuck at 80% rating, despite me giving them everything I got. I have even tried sandbox mode: I placed all schools, parks everywhere, hospitals and police stations. Nothing changes at all, even middle class people don't come in!
Upon closer inspection, I see the problem: 2 "influences". Supply and Transportation. Those two things stay at 50%, and frustrate me to no end. I know the Supply rating refers to water and energy supply, yet it stays at 50%. I've replaced (in Sandbox mode, of course) all dirt roads with country roads, placed bus stops everywhere and created loads of trains. It's no use, everything stays at 50%, ruining any chance I have of making a prosper city.
Sorry for writing such a rant. I'm not angry, but curious. What has changed so much that this happens?
Hope Lobby or Theo could reply, as to clear up my doubts.
