Updated SimCity Beginner's Guide | Understanding Power Plants!

[@rone1954]

I've been playing Simcity 2013 since its release and thought I had it all figured out. WRONG! I learn so much from your videos. Thanks

You're welcome. I'm glad the videos are helping.

👍honorable mentions: 1) megatower reactor level 200MW 1300$/h 2) elite megatower fusion level 400MW 2400$/h 3) megatower power crown 200MW 1200$/h 4) elite megatower power crown 400MW 2400$/h tips and tricks: 👇(maybe for next video) 1) wind turbines can be put on exterme terrain slopes (not that usefull but looks great if you have a mountain map) 2) coal generator v2 (with two pipes) is usually cheaper than the first one (375/h vs 425/h) even if more coal is imported 3) oil generator v2 (with two pipes) is more expensive than v1 (1185/h vs 755/h) but oil consumption is 3 times less so its nice for logistics 4) upgraded solar arrays are just good, (unrelated but having wind/solar might actually affect happiness since sims have asociated reaction text bubbles) 5) nuclear plant (is a flex) does not need educated workers🤣it actually just consumes tech level (gears for industry upgrades), and you can generate tech lvl with VU tower or Spaceport

Awesome. Thanks. I was debating on solar power crowns. Good reason for a follow up video

Do you have one on the recycling plant? I couldn’t find one from you. Don’t know what to do with the recycling when it fills up.

[@leonarddavis8732]

Send the recycled resources to a trade depot for export. Make some extra money.

If i am drilling for oil in my city and also have oil power plant would i still need to put on global deliverer's? also could i use my oil I'm drilling to power my city as well as sell the oil at the same time?

[@toptoolreviews]

i forgot to ask if there is any type of local deliveries i have to set up?

[@leonarddavis8732]

Yes. Turn on global deliveries. The oil you are getting from underground will not last forever. At that time you will need oil for the power plant. Better to turn it on now so you don't forget. Some of the oil you are drilling and sending to the depot will also be sent to the power plant automatically. Don't forget to set your depot for export of the oil.

@@leonarddavis8732 Awesome thanks for the help & quick response! however I'm having another issue for some reason the trade hq is not unlocking. it says i would need to put down 3 storage lots as well as extract a certain amount of oil per day. now i haven't hit the oil per day mark just yet however i think the box where it say to put down 3 storage should be checked off but its not it says 1 of 3 . but i place 3 storage depots already (isn't storage depot the same thins as storage lots?)

[@toptoolreviews]

Sorry if you could also let me know if i send oil from one of my cities to the other. however the receiving city at maximum (or at least i think it is, the bar blue & all the way to right) anyway, would the receiving city be wasting the oil bc it has no need for it at the time or store the oil for a time in need. also can the receiving city sell the if wishes to do so... i apologies about all the questions the game does a really bad job in guiding the player. tutorial was a joke too it actually crashed or glitched on the 2nd or 3nd lesson not should if everyone's game has that problem or not. but other than that the game is great its a shame more what happened with the launch and that more people don't play this game.

[@leonarddavis8732]

Depot and lots are different. You add lots to a depot. Maximum lots is 4 per depot

[@robo7767]

If you pick the global market for the coal or oil to fuel the power plants, will it use the oil or coal you get from your own town first before it buys it in the world market?

[@leonarddavis8732]

Depends on how efficient your local deliveries are. I've seen global deliveries take place while I have the resources in the city. I still select global deliveries as soon as I place the power plant so that I don't forget.
