I'm camping at level 10. I'm also on my way to build a feeder.

Thankfully I discovered this strategy early, but I still have some questions.

  1. My factories are one 4-slot and four 3-slot. Would it be worth it to upgrade all of them into 4-slot now or should I skip the 4-slot and instead save up and buy the max-slot when I will have saved up enough simoleons and population? Or are there any better strats?
  2. Should I camp at this level or is there a better level to camp at?
  3. I've only been camping for, like, two days and I've already increased my simoleons from ~7k to ~55k. I am saving up for hospitals, precincts, and all the necessary things but I'm also tempted to buy the DoE and DoT because I'm also (slowly) earning keys and I can afford some education/transportation establishments now. Should I go for it? Also, parks!
  4. How do I earn cash? All of my only commercial buildings have 5 slots and I want to upgrade them further.
  5. When should I stop camping?
  6. What level should my feeder be capped at? I kinda want to hoard beach items as well.
  7. What products should I sell at the Global Trade? I'm too lazy to do the maths, sorry.
  8. Are there any extra tips you could give me?

Tree top playground

I would love to see a picture of the tree top playground in your city. I’m trying to decide if I want it or just fill up on sim cash from the exchange of blueprints. TIA!

What to do with Beach Items

I’m relatively new and camping at level 13 — no beach or mountain areas accessible yet.

I’ve won a ton of beach and mountain expansion items through COM and I’d prefer to offload until I’m ready to level up. Same for war items too I guess.

Is my only marketplace buyer going to be Daniel?

Design challenge resources used up?

When you create a design do you get those resources back after the challenge? I made an assumption and a commitment and now I'm second guessing myself.

ADS - Agatha All Along

I have 3 accounts all are stuck on the same advert...Agatha all along some sort of Disney plus series. My main account plays tha whole ad, it is very long, you can get to the disney plus website, but any attempt at closing it, you are back in the game, but it has not credited you with watching it.

Other 2 accounts, one struggles to play the ad, but has the same problem as above, final account on an old tablet just locks up the game.

Anyone else having this problem? Have tried closing simcity, restarting, off and on again. But whatever I do the same ad turns up and get the same problem..

Ad factory

Not sure if I've screwed up but I think I misread the basis for the ad factorys.

I thought it produced items in 10mins and I have it full of items taking 2 or 3 hrs so it looks like I'll need to keep recharging for days. I've tried storing it but I can't because production is in progress.

Are there any other ways out of this?

Omega + mist building gives nice glow.

Hey Guys,

Just wanna share something i discoverd. The neo sim dollars from the omega building in combinatie with that mist building gives a nice shiny glow to the game! Might be an inspiratiebron to otters.

Enjoy!

Why do trains in SCbuildit bug into their selves?

I just started playing SCbuildit after some time and I came across this weird happening of two trains sort of bugging into each other. Even their movement on the track is weird as if their go to another direction, they flip to the opposite side. Is this a bug?

How many? 🧐

How many main cities do you have and how many feeders do you have? I saw a post awhile back somebody had like 20 cities running at once. It was freaking awesome. I only have one main city and 8 feeders but currently using none and using 4 of them only to try to win the Megalopolis league on all 4 of them. I think I know how people get first place in the first days with a low level account. But idk how they do it with a high level account. If it works I’ll tell you guys

Anyone know why this is happening

so basically i just got back into the game after not playing for a few months and i got the welcome back pass. however for some reason the points that i earn doesnt go into the pass and got stuck at the value shown in the 2nd picture. idk whats going on esp since i have earned a lot more points than shown in the pass(3rd picture). also i started playing again 3 days before the new event in the third picture so i actually have about 600 points so idk whats going on

Hacker Boycott

I’m well and truly fed up with the lack of desire from EA/TrackTwenty to do anything about hackers.

We all know that players quick to 210,000 (420,000) are almost certainly hackers. We report. EA ignore.

I propose all of us who buy premium pass or in game content boycott these for a month, or better still until they fix it.

I don’t stand a chance of even medium prize here with 3/6 spaces taken up by cheating rats!

Sort it out EA. We’ve reported countless times. It makes the game unplayable.

Please upvote this post. Let’s try and get EA’s attention.

How is this possible

Both of the circled hot spots are maxed out, level 10 with 80% coverage each. This means that corner has 100%+ coverage.

When verifying by hovering another transportation building it shows there is still the possibility of additional coverage…
