  • Pan1cKnife shows you how to boost your region's economy quickly by rushing from mining to electronics!
    In part one, Pan1cKnife goes from the beginning of the city to the point where mining is no longer necessary and sets the stage for an electronics based economy!

    Honestly, all you have to do is build one city dedicated to just pillaging land annd mining resources. Then once everything is used up like an old condom, just send the money to a new city in a hotspot location. Make this new city a tourist city. Once you have your population's needs met, just start climbing your way up the casino chain until you have enough tourist to spam your city with elegant casinos. Do this until you have 100,000+ income. Do you find yourself running out of resources? Dedicate all other available spaces to cities that will power your city. Fund them with the money you have in store.
    After you create this continous loop, just leave your game on for the night and you'll wake up with around 100 million dollars. Once you've completely broken all rules the game has with this unlimited amount of *legitimate* money, do whatever you want. I built a whole "city" using solar panels and just a couple of people (like 100) to work them all. I did this because I used all of my great works for airports.

      Electronics exporting is the way more broken tho. If you build as much production chain possible, then u can reap 10 million per hour.

  • @MonguinAssassin
    @MonguinAssassin 10 років тому +1

    Thanks. This helps me a lot, especially with the Cities of Tomorrow expansion pack because that way you only import raw ore, coal, and crude oil and use that to provide for the rest of your needs, including your OmegaCo factories.

    to start with get a stable small town economy with a small profit and let it bring in money for a while when u have enough go crazy with the mining if you start running low on one ressource when u get the smelting plant start importing that ressource, and focus solely on alloys. when u got a few mil's and youre second ressource begins to run out start up the electronic plants, import plastics to start use youre alloys locally. lastly switch completely to electronics by importing alloys as well.

  • @NA-lp2re

    Processors is by far the best money maker. Any city can get enough alloy and plastic from recycling to supply one factory. Once you get enough extra money you can start importing plastic and alloy to supply more factories.

  • @theAwfulGamerHD
    @theAwfulGamerHD  11 років тому +5

    From what I can tell, that indicator is broken. "9 months" in game time is technically 9 game day/night cycles, so I should've burned through the ore way before then. Clearly that's not the case.

  • @theAwfulGamerHD
    @theAwfulGamerHD  11 років тому

    If you've already gotten the HQ, I would plop two or three trading depots, four-storage them with ore, switch to local, and fill them up... then switch to export as soon as you flip over to the next day. With three full depots, it shouldn't be too tough at all. If you're really running out of ore, I'd either find a secondary source to pump ore with or switch to coal. Once you upgrade the HQ and get at least one smelter, just import the raw materials to keep it afloat!

  • @mattlynch1268
    @mattlynch1268 11 років тому

    +Aaren Lafrance Yes. Just import from the global market when that runs out. The importing of materials is cheaper than the price of importing finished products. That said, import things at the bottom of the productions chain if possible.

  • @MonguinAssassin
    @MonguinAssassin 10 років тому

    This is also very useful with Cities of Tomorrow because although your OmegaCo is pretty cheap to run, if you are building drones, it is always wise to already have a processor franchise on the run because importing processors is extremely expensive. I accidentally added an extraction division instead of a robotics division, but it doesn't really matter because an extraction division should be the first to build for people extracting oil and ore directly to the factories.

    • @Tikorita
      @Tikorita 10 років тому

      Drone factory takes quite a toll on your city unless you actually have a recycling centre to gather alloy and plastic to make processors. If not, importing processors will take up to around 80k per batch

  • @zoltan902
    @zoltan902 7 років тому +2

    I can see you're dedicated to your method. It seems very cumbersome to me though. My priorities would be to build up the town laying down avenues from the beginning (even if it evolves very slowly), and throwing most of my hourly budget on education. The highly educated town will recycle, from which I can sell reclaimed alloy. The important part of this strategy is that the 'means' serve the population just as much as the treasury, and the recycling is 'renewable'. I NEVER touch mining in this game. It runs out eventually, pollutes the city, and for the amount of time and effort doesn't yield all that much.

      Yes, but even when they do run out, by that time, you should already have processors, smelting, and oil refineries by that time. You want to get those as early in the game as possible before your resources run out, because you're too late and your city goes broke repetitively.

      well the best advice to give you is start a start a seperate city in the same region and have it do trash collection and maybe supply some power to the city in which you want to start your metals headquartersbut the water, sewage you want to keep within the city that you desiring to use for collection of raw materials for making alloy, metal, plastic, that will eventually lead to other stuff, i hope this gives you some insight to help you save some space and some polution problems

  • @BePatient888

    Sandbox Mode isn't cheating. It's actually more realistic because in real life, your city doesn't INVENT the internet, or have to invent any new, yet common, technologies to improve basic services. That is just ridiculous.

  • @mrfunnier34
    @mrfunnier34 9 років тому

    not that this matters now but you could have saved money some with switching out your polution pipe that originally comes with the coal power plant to using the pipe that uses less polution , the burner with the 2 pipes on it and it gives you a better burning power rate too, im curious as to how you kept your coal power plant going without running out of coal, you totally did away with your coal mine, unless you had coal globally brought in to your city, that part has me skeptical the most along with a few other things
