Shit, I'll play it.

This game is fun. It's like classic Sim City but with awesome road tools.

 

I tried building a town to be as shitty and unpleasant as possible but still have growth last night. Only used dirt roads. Crime soon hit 45%. Things started to get interesting when i got close to 5000 population. Thanks to having landfills and industry in the center of town and no clinics a public health crisis happend. I lost 2000 people rapidly with their corpses rotting in the streets. Even after building 3 hospitals i had over 2000 sick people and only 300 hospital beds. Thanks to drastic budget cuts and tax raises i managed to turn still a profit. There was dead, decay, fire and crime everywhere. It was like managing an African town during Ebola outbreak. Eventualy i cashed out with over 130k $ in the bank and almost all citizens dead.

So last night i made a small but costly mistake. In my city i had an industrial area on a hill over the city. This causes some issues with the sewage system polluting the cities fresh water. So i created a seperate pipe circulation system. Then by accident i connected both systems without realising it immediately. 7000 people died on the spot after ingesting the poisonous industrial waste.  A couple thousand more succumbed to sickness in the weeks after followed by a general flight thanks to crumbling infrastructure and services. Within two months the city lost half of its nearly 40k population.

 

Could easily work as an alternate backstory opening for "28 days later" or "the walking dead"

It would actually be pretty cool if games like these would just incorporate the consequences of viral outbreaks from movies etc. like a post apocalyptic sim city... See tiny people try to fight off zombies on rooftops of half destroyed buildings, people trying to escape are dying etc.

 

Then after years, some infrastructure is slowly rebuilt, people reuse buildings as shanties and new societies emerge...

If they can do this :

 

 

I'm sure someone will make a good zombie outbreak events mod.

Bought the game and play like 6 hours. I thought I play like 20 min or less. Fuck.

 

Is there a great major among us to explain me what the heck with the fuel stuff?

 

[PogoP]

I think you have to build power plants on or near oil/coal reserves, or maybe have some way of transporting the fuel. Not sure!

The white text in the black box seems to explain it tbh. If it doesn't work, might be a glitch.

After finally playing this game for a while I now completely understand the people who make one way streets/roads everywhere
