Sim City 3000 Extras and Upgrades - Part 7 - How Do I Build Skyscrapers??

But your city is so ugly...

I tried it in simcity and it worked. I also got the feeling that powered earth also transmits power 4 blocks away, because: First i builded a power chord from power plant. Then i connected a residential zone. Then i build a road in between, and builded a school there. So it would look like this; Plant - Chord - Residential - road - school. Somehow, the school was powered, while being 10 blocks away from the chord. Thank you anyway, for the exact numbers ;)

Power in my UK Edition and infact in the standard edition I am pretty sure works at either 4 or 5 squares from a power source. This means the edge of a power plant or the end of a power line. Taking it as 4 squares it would mean that for a radius of 4 squares thick on each side and corner of the power source would be powered earth! You can also check if earth is powered by clicking on the ground/tree and it will tell you if or not it has power running through it!

Hey Simo. I always get a the problem that my schools and hospitals aren't powered. But yet, I don't see you building any power chords at all. I saw you build some in the beginning, but now you don't do it anymore, while your buildings are really far away from the power. So, how does electricity work in simcity3k? (btw, im already watching part 24, but this was the first one that came up when looking for your vids :P )

Hahahaha indeed that is why we all love Sim City!

Love the part when the moment you place a couple of schools the ticker says "Highton students not the sharpest knives in the drawer" :DD

Thanks for the advice, i will certainly start to play, but a Guide would have helped at least at the beginning. I did google it, but I couldn't find a very basic one and my english is not enough to understand the video tutorial: the speaking is way too fast for me to undesrstand. It's like wathing tv without audio! Thanks anyway, bye bye

You could try googling this! It would bring up some results I am sure. But the best guide to be honest is you! If you wanna learn how to play it then play it. I know that sounds dumb but its the best way you can learn. Watch these tutorials and it will show you how to build a big city but the best thing you can do is start with Part 1! Watch part 1 and that will show you how to get started on a city. Good luck

hey thanks a lot for these useful tutorials! This is my first time playing and i really would need a kind of guide, something very very basic since i never played. Have you some suggestions about where i could find one? Thanks

Yeah Glitches are funny things and sometimes it can be something small just like this or something BIG like falling out of the world in GTA!! That one you will know well if you play GTA III or Vice!!

Maybe it is a glitch? Sometimes glitches happen in the game where a road is broken and a house sits in the middle of it!

Yes, what simo2009BORO said was true, the methods work the same, the unlimited and UK versions just have added building extras :D

Yeah its not quite the same but the same sort of theories and methods work on the original SC3K!!

So would it work on the regular simcity 3000

Yes It is....Sim city 3000 unlimited and Sim city 3000 UK Edition are the same. Hope this helps :D

Is this simcity 3000 unlimited????
