    When building great works, once I've clicked the "provide material" or whatever button it is on the great works site, do I need to set my trade depots to use locally to supply the great works with those materials?

    Pretty sure it just decays over time, no way to actively reduce it.

    I am also getting a kick out of using sewage treatment plants to "re-seed" my ground water for my water pump. My city is being provided recycled turd water!

    is there a way to send half my coal to my power plant, and export the rest? currently half my coal is beig used in the smelting factory and the other half the powerplant, but with the smelting factory going soon, i wil produce way more coal than i what i can use, but i only see the option to export all or keep all. is there no way i can keep what i need and sell the rest?

Most of my supply comes from recycling, the depot remains mostly full just in case.

    i dont even have a recycling centre yet >.> no room in my city, when i have more room i will make one, thanks for remnding me.

    yeah both my mines are in really annoying place, my ore mine which is about to run out is next to the university, if the mine wasnt there it could be a nice high wealth area, but its ruining the area, and my coal mine which is going to last a long time is right in the middle of my city, right in the middle of a high wealth area, some how the mine hasnt lowered the wealth in the area.

    You should only have to click "accept local deliveries" on the power plant. The mine delivers to the plant rather then the depot I believe. I'm not sure if the depot will also deliver to the plant but either way your power plant will be stocked with coal in the depot set to export. Mine currently has 17 tons with my depots set to export coal so something is filling it up.

    ah i will try that thanks!
    i didn't want to waste my coal! i mine loads of it it currently, enough to supply smelting factory and the power plant, and my storage still keeps getting full of it :>

    How do you guys manage your traffic?

    I've been experimenting with traffic since yesterday and can't come to a good conclusion.

    Right now I have a rail system on the very edge of the city, with a couple stations on every side. Not intersecting the highway coming in ofc.

    Then there's one street car avenue that connects to the highway and goes through inner ring of the city with all 3 street car stations running. Any other ways, the street car stops would just pile up 200 minutes worth of people.

    I've tried the bus stop approach, but it doesn't seem to be as effective as I thought it would. Do you place the bus stops on both sides of a long avenue?

    I've heard putting park and ride at the highway entrance would help, but does it really?

    Btw, I still can't believe the way to solve the water issue is sewage recycling. I know it's how it works in some places IRL, but still. WTB rain fall.

    Who needs nuclear power when you have 22MPH winds.

    yeah, they removed the filter that never even worked in the first place. you're best off finding a region with other players on here i think.

    Is there anything wrong with the global market right now? My city was almost completely ruined by a power outage because my oil power plant will not get any new deliveries. I even tried adding an oil storage lot to my trade depot, also was not importing oil. I have a massive wind farm now, but I would like my oil power plant to work again because just that covered the whole city + some for power.

    @Axe

    I was wondering the same. I feel like it works sometimes. I had a coal power plant that obviously ran out of coal and was using the global market to keep it in stock. Sometimes it would fill up and I'd be safe but other times it would just not do anything. I switched to wind power at the moment (22mph winds) but will be going back to nuclear power. Just get educated people and you're set! Its only bad if a natural disaster somehow sets it in a downward spiral to hell... but losing any type of power because of a disaster generally spells out hell to your city.

    If you're mining for your own oil, there's a chance that it's ran out, double check your oil map.

    If you're importing them, make sure the traffic flow from the highway is intact, or you won't get any delivery done.

    There's also the chance that the game is bugged and wouldn't send them in/out, you should try restarting your game too see if it works.

    If there's railroad/boat connection, you should do some recylcing/processor exporting so you can unlock trading port. The importing/exporting through the port takes no travel time.
