Economic Tips:
You can make a lot of money from the resources in your city area.
Oil, and raw ore are the big buck earners, with coal being ok, but vital to get the huge bucks from selling Alloy.
Alloy = Coal + Raw ore.
You can also make big bucks from selling computer chips and electronics.
If you city has Large oil or ore or coal. Use them.
Place as many wells as you posible can on the black or dark grey areas for oil and coal, and the bright orange area's for ore.
The more wells you put up, the more trucks you can have, the more oil you can drill and deliver for export.
You need to use the rade depot located in the city specialization area.
There you need to put a storage bins for the coralating thing you are prodicing.
Oil products are OIL, fuel and plastic. Ore products are, raw ore, metal, alloy and coal.
Also when you put down a supply depot it gives youa frieght storgae bin. This key to keep your industry in your city going. This provides a storgae and shipping location.
You need to mange your supply depot. If you rae producing lots of OIL, then set your supplt depot to EXPORT oil.
Your goal with the raw materials is to produce the correct amount of profir per day so you can put down the next specialization building and earn even more profit. Prodcuing 160k of oil a day eans you can then unlock the refinary that gets you fuel and plastiuc production. Plastic and fuel generate more money than just oil. Same with ore, make enough money per day off it, then you can get the smelter to make alloy and metal. Alloy earns you big bucks. You can alos make alloy ,plastic and metal from a recycling center, but it is less profitable, as recycling is hard to get hold of all the time. You need a very advanced city to produce enough recycling.
If you have raw ore, but no coal, and you want to produce alloy, you will need to import coal. To do this simply set on your trade depot coal to import.
To make the initial enough per day for oil you need about 6 wells with 5 or more drill sights each and 2 supply depots.
Ore you need about 4 mines, with about 4 shafts each also with 2 supply depots.
Your roads need to be good so the movement between them is good and your supply and delivery trucks can be efficient.
I usually put my supply depots on the main road of my city, so they can get in and out easily.
Once you have the big supply depot that can store much more product, make sure you add a freight rail station. The trains are less frequent but make huge money with each export.
To make chips and electronics, you need to have high tech industry.
To make your industry high tech, you need to have some high end parks to up the area value, and you need to have a university in the town.
The biggest problems i have with the game are making sure there is enough space for all these special building and their addons.
The garbage dump, the city hall, oil well,s mines, smelters, refineries and the university all use huge areas.
Its not actually possible to have all things in one town. There is not enough space.
Rather decide on a few things for a city and go with that. Then make another city in the region that can have other things.
