Ooops

when you're deleting a couple of large windmills on your giant windmill park to make room for the nuclear plant. make sure to be in the windmill park editing mode and don't answer yes when your whole park is lit up yellow.... takes a while for the nuclear to gear up :p

my mines and smelter don't make any money without power :p so much easier when you have neighbours to buy utilities from :)

Happened to me couple of times as well, trying to delete some extensions and ending up demolishing an entire freight terminal and windfarm plant.

Any of you installed the VU-Tower from the Heroes and Villains set? Is it worth it from tourism etc point of view, or will crime skyrocket in the city?

Been playing straight for 4 hours now, don't know what happened there but the game really sucks you in...

Welcome to the Club!

Cheers!

I'm now trying to cure my Starcraft II addiction with this game. It seems to be working coz I haven't logged on to battle.net since the release. However, I don't know how much longer I can hold on to it with HOTS being released in literally several hours!

Any idea what the free games will be?

If the choices are good, I'll buy SimCity (which is overpriced) since I'd be getting two games for the price of one.

Should have bought the game from the Indian store, before it was pulled off of it (due too many non-Indians buying the game from there). Would have saved 30 bucks and get a free game, too. Not that I'm saying the game (simcity 5) is bad, but 60 is a bit too much for it in current state. And no, no one knows which games are going to be given to the simcity owners yet. Hopefully, it will be something good.

At some point you have to start burning it.

I was burning and thought I just didn't have enough trucks so I deleted that one and created 3 new dumps all maxed out with garbage trucks but they all come back to the garage at 2:30 each day. Still red on pickup and can't figure it out. They haven't said anything about the dumps being at capacity.

My city was at 250,000 but has dropped to 230,000 now.

I think there might still be bugs with regional buildings (my trade markets occasionally just stopped and I wasn't entirely sure why) but in the meantime if you see a queue entering and leaving your city it might be good to stop volunteering as much to other cities (especially if you've only got one road coming in.)

I haven't used it yet. Maxisman I have put down in most of my cities because he helps with crime, hospitals and fires. I am worried about the VU tower crime. I might try him in my oil, and mining town. LEss population due to crime would mean less traffic and faster sell times for my delivery trucks.

    • It's interesting to hear that AI growth is not investor driven.
    • A few weeks ago, I had this same exact issue. Unfortunately, I didn't think of disabling the Secure Boot option in BIOS. I updated my BIOS to the latest version for my MB and it resolved the issue.
    • I have a partial answer, when I used a multi-port usb hub I had degraded speed performance with 3 large external hard drives connected. I managed to snag a nice (yet older) USB3 based wavelink docking station cheap / used that has x6 usb 3 ports and almost doubled the speed of the external hard drives transfer rate. This looks to be a slightly upgraded model -https://ebay.io/m/LZtjTy
    • Microsoft faces shareholder lawsuit over masking AI costs and slowing Azure growth by Karthik Mudaliar Microsoft is facing a class action lawsuit from shareholders who allege that the company intentionally overhyped its artificial intelligence initiatives to distract from slowing cloud revenue and an exploding infrastructure bill. The complaint was filed in a Seattle federal court by the Michigan-based City of St. Clair Shores Police and Fire Retirement System. The plaintiffs argue that Microsoft’s leadership painted an overly optimistic picture of its Copilot rollout and complex OpenAI partnership. They say that the company did this while downplaying the harsh reality that building the data centers required to power these next-generation tools requires a huge amount of capital. Back at the company's Q2 2026 earnings report from late January, Microsoft revealed that its flagship Azure cloud growth had slipped to 39% (down from 40% the prior quarter) and guided investors to expect a further deceleration to 37% or 38% for the first three months of 2026. Now, under normal circumstances, a slight percentage point drop in cloud growth is a minor operational hiccup. But the Redmond giant paired that guidance with $37.5 billion in quarterly capital expenditures. This figure, which is a 66% year-over-year surge, blew past any analyst estimates at that time. Much of this amount went into buying high-priced GPUs and custom silicon that were required to train and run large language models. This is why the market reacted violently and just a day after its earnings call on January 29, the company's stock plummeted 10%, and wiped out $357 billion of capital in just a trading session. Microsoft is doing better now, though. Its Q3 2026 results showed its run rate from its AI business was hitting $37 billion, proving that enterprise demand for its infrastructure is very real and continuing to scale. Microsoft isn't the only company pouring billions into infrastructure for the AI boom. We've seen most Big Tech companies, including Amazon and Google, also get the results of these investments with stronger-than-ever growth and increased income. via Reuters
