Introduction
List of Events

Getting Started

Managing your City requires that you carefully balance the production of your goods and products. If you're having problems, this section should help! There are several important aspects to remember: Building, Manufacturing, Collecting, and Upgrading.

Building
A city needs to grow, and the best way to help yours grow is to construct new buildings. All sorts of houses, businesses, and civic buildings are available in the Marketplace, ready to be added to your city.

Most buildings can be purchased with coins, but you'll need Business Permits to build new businesses. Business Permits can be earned by mastering existing businesses and on some City Hall upgrades.

Manufacturing
Order Goods from your Train Depot by tapping on it and dragging the package size of Goods that you want into an available slot. Once the unloading timer finishes, the Goods will be delivered to the loading docks in your Train Depot. Tap on the deliveries to move them to your warehouse, where they can be used to directly fill some orders from businesses.

Most orders from businesses require an assortment of Products. These can be made in your factories, using a combination of Goods and other Products. You can tap on the 'Make' button in an order to go to the factory where it's made and see what you need to make it.
Products you can make are grouped into one of six industries: Dining, Shopping, Housing, Entertainment, Services, and Technology. Your city will eventually have factories for each industry where you can make a variety of fun items for your city's businesses!

Collecting
Collect all sorts of items from around your city to help it grow. Your Train Depot receives shipments of Goods, and your factories make all sorts of neat Products to help you fill orders from businesses. You can collect these items simply by tapping on them on the board.

You also have a chance to collect special items from your city's citizens, by tapping on them to chat as they walk around your city. Some of these special items are used to expand your city's warehouse, allowing you to store more items. Others are used to unlock new land expansions, so you can keep making your city larger. You can also collect items that allow you to unlock new slots in high-rises, where you can move mastered businesses and houses to free up more space in your city.
As your city expands, you also collect coins from your City Hall. The more 5-star businesses your city has, the more coins you can collect each day!

Upgrading
Add more houses and civic buildings to increase your city's Population. Add more businesses and help them become 5-Star establishments to increase your Mastery Star total. Once you have enough Population and Mastery Stars, you can upgrade your City Hall and unlock all sorts of great, new buildings to add to your city! Goals can involve collecting ingredients, cooking, learning recipes, and buying items in the Market.

Market

Click on the Cash Register icon at the bottom right of the screen to purchase city buildings, factories, decorations, etc.

Click on the Road icon to edit roads. Click on the Storage Box icon to see the items in your storage.

Design and expand your city

Expand your city by tapping on the signs in areas adjacent to your existing city. Expanding costs Coins and Parts. You can get Parts by tapping on citizens.

Moving buildings and roads
Move your building by pressing down on it until it gets into Edit mode. You can add or remove roads by clicking on the [Cash Register] icon and select the [Road] icon to go into Edit mode as shown below. You can add roads to the empty squares shown in green or you can click to remove any existing roads. The brown squares are occupied by buildings and you can't change them to road. Store the buildings first before you change them.

https://i328.photobucket.com/albums/l...s7nhtkkpf.jpeg

Design your city
Design your city layout to fully utilise the limited land. Here are some points to note when planning your layout.

• Expand towards the Points of Interest to increase your population
• City Hall and factories don't need road access
• Place as many businesses as you can in your city to increase the revenue you can collect from City Hall every 30 mins
• Use residential and commercial highrises to maximise your land. Note that highrises cannot be stored even when they're empty.
• Store the bigger size businesses (1x2) into your commercial highrises to allow more space for the smaller businesses (1x1)
• Land is scarce and highrises cannot be stored, take note of the population per square to utilise your city land efficiently. Population per square - house (4), fully upgraded small residential highrises (8), fully upgraded large residential highrises (10), civic buildings (minimum 6), landmarks (minimum 15).

Tips:
1. Place your factories clustered in an area of your city without road access to save space. Make space for 20 factories.
2. Place your factories in a row in the order they appear when you click on the ">" button to reduce your screen jumping to different parts of your city.
3. See community cities in Post Pictures of your Dream City! for inspiration and design your own.


What to do when I run out of land?
Here are some suggestions.

• redesign your city with a more efficient layout and try to make more space, if possible
• create bigger clusters of buildings
• reduce excess roads where possible - buildings need not be totally surrounded by roads at all sides; they only need to have road access on 1 square.
• store some houses and civic buildings on land and replace them with landmarks as landmarks give the highest population per square
• put the businesses on land into highrises
• keep submitting business orders to get parts to fully upgrade all highrises
• keep submitting business orders to get parts to further upgrade your inventory
• keep submitting business orders to get mastery stars to unlock all factories and crafts
  
  Plan for future when we get more land expansions
• keep submitting business orders to stock up expansion parts so that you can expand immediately
• keep submitting business orders to earn more mastery stars so that you can level up faster
• keep submitting Boardwalk orders to accumulate more tickets for future purchases

City Hall

The level of your City Hall is your game level. Collect revenue from your City Hall every 30 mins to get more coins. Place more businesses in your city to increase your revenue. You can earn more mastery stars by submitting orders and mastering businesses. Increase your population by expanding to Points of Interest and Locations, buying houses, civic buildings and landmarks. The City Hall changes its appearance at Level 25.

https://i328.photobucket.com/albums/...sq5pvrwcp.jpeg https://i328.photobucket.com/albums/...sgid1xdeu.jpeg

Note:
1. The City Hall doesn't need road access.
2. We get revenue from all businesses placed on land and highrises. The only ones that aren't counted for revenue are those in storages. However the mastery stars from those businesses in storage count for unlocking new factories and crafts.

Citizens

Citizens appear randomly walking in your city. Tap on them when they appear to collect coins and sometimes a random part.

When do they appear?

• A citizen appears after you have submitted your business order to drop you coins and sometimes a random part
• A citizen appears after you have mastered your business to drop you coins and random part(s)
• Several citizens appear after you have sent your ship off for your Boardwalk orders. They drop you coins and sometimes a random part.
• A citizen appears after your new building has finished construction. You will see several of them for bigger buildings.

Deliver Boardwalk Orders
Each ship asks for 9 orders. You have 12 hours to load all the orders before it departs. Each loaded order gives you coins shown above the order. Once you have loaded all orders, the [Deliver All] button will be enabled and you can send your ship off immediately. Your ship will leave and you can collect your tickets by popping balloons. A new ship will return in 8 hours. If you load only some of the orders, the ship leaves when the timer hits 0 and returns in 8 hours with new orders. You won't get any ticket if you don't complete all orders.

1. Click on your Boardwalk
2. Click [Make] to craft the individual order
3. Click [Deliver] to deliver the individual order
4. Once you have loaded all 9 orders, click [Deliver All] to send your ship off
5. Pop the balloons to claim your Boardwalk Tickets

Note:
1. The number of balloons increases for consecutive successful shipments (3 balloons increase to 6 then 8). You'll need to do several consecutive successful shipments before it increases. It returns to your previous number of balloons if you fail a shipment.
2. The difficulty of our orders increase according to the number of balloons to be rewarded. Eg. 3 balloons orders are easier than 8 balloons orders.

Discard Boardwalk Orders
You can discard the orders if you can't or don't wish to fulfil them by clicking the [Get New Order] button. The ship leaves and returns in 8 hours with new orders.


Prepare for next Boardwalk Orders
Once your ship leaves, you can preview your next order by clicking on Boardwalk and prepare the orders shown. You have 8 hours before your ship returns. Use the Boardwalk Orders List to help with your preparations and stock up in advance.

Tips:
1. Use the List of Crafts to help you to identify a new craft if you see one in your Boardwalk preview screen.

2. The Boardwalk orders starts automatically when you start your game or while in game. Don't leave your game running in the background when you are away from it for long hours, e.g. at work or overnight.

3. When you are building a new factory and if your Boardwalk preview shows a new craft from it, take note of the construction time and force shut your game. Start your game only when your factory is completed. (Applicable when you are trying to do consecutive shipments for building up your balloons)

4. You can delay your ship's departure by submitting the last order later, when you have an easy shipment. Time it nicely so that the next arrival fits better to your play schedule. But take note not to miss the departure time. This is useful when you prefer to do 1 shipment a day and you can still accumulate your balloons.


Redeem Your Boardwalk Tickets
Use your Boardwalk Tickets to buy Landmark buildings.

Frequently asked questions

Why can't I build more businesses?
Building new businesses requires additional Business Permits. A Business Permit typically lets you build any unlocked business from a particular industry so that you can customize the look of your city. To earn more Business Permits, master existing businesses and keep upgrading your City Hall.

How can I get more gems?
You can get more Gems by tapping the Add button next to the Gems icon at the top of the screen. Once you tap this Add button, you will be able to select from several Gem offers available for purchase.

How do I get parts to upgrade my buildings? What about expansion parts?
Tap on citizens with speech bubbles to hear what they have to say about how you're doing as Mayor. They may drop some coins or even a part for you as well!

It says my storage is full - what now?
You can upgrade the capacity of your Storage so you can store more items!
- Tap on the Warehouses near the Train Depot.
- Use the necessary Parts to increase your storage capacity.

How do I move buildings?
You can tap and hold on a building already in your city. You can then drag the building to a new position and tap the green check mark when it's in a location that you're happy with. Once you're done moving buildings around, tap on the red X button in the Market tray to close it and exit Edit Mode.

How do I put buildings into storage? How do I get them back out again?
Tap on the Market to enter Edit Mode. Tap the building you wish to remove. If it can be stored, tap on the box icon that appears below the building. This moves it into your Storage. Some buildings, like factories, City Hall, and businesses with active orders cannot be stored.

Please note that a stored building does not contribute to the operation of your city. For example, a house that has been stored no longer provides population until it is returned to the board.

To find a building in your Storage, tap the Market button and then locate the building in the Storage tab (the tab icon looks like an open box). You do not need to buy it again - just tap on the item to return it to your city.

How do I sell items?
If you would like to sell a building, tap and hold the building you wish to sell. If it is eligible to be sold, you will see a Sell button next to the item. Be careful before you decide to sell anything though; you may have to work hard to get it again, and some rewards you won't be able to earn a second time.

My Question Wasn't Answered Here, What Can I Do?
Contact Storm8 Support: https://support.storm8.com/hc/en-us/requests/new with a description of your problem. Please include your User ID and Level to help them in answering your question.

Gems

How can I get more gems?
You can get gems by purchase or from game downloads. Sometimes you get an occasional gem from mastering businesses.

Buy gems
You can get more Gems by tapping the [Add] button next to the [Gems] icon at the top of the screen. Once you tap this [Add] button, you will be able to select from various Gem offers available for purchase.

Other games goals
You sometimes get goals to download and play other Storm8 games in your goal list. Download and play these games to be rewarded with gems.

When you get this game goal prompt in Dream City: Metropolis, do not install the new game immediately. You should check your other Storm8 games and see they get this prompt. This way, you will get the gem/gold rewards in your other games as well.

Lost gems
For loss of gems, please contact Storm8 Support: https://support.storm8.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

Regarding In-App Purchases

If This Is A Free Game Why Was I Charged?
Storm8 Studios games are free to download and play. We offer optional products through in-app purchases that serve to enhance various aspects of gameplay.

I Made An Unintentional Purchase, What Can I Do?
For your security and protection, Apple handles all aspects of these transactions. You will need to contact Apple directly if you wish for a refund on these transactions.

I Do Not Want To Pay Money Ever. How Do I Prevent Myself From Making Unintentional Purchases?
There is a way to restrict In-App Purchases on your device. On your device, please go to Settings Menu -> General -> Restrictions option. You can then simply turn off In-App Purchases under "Allowed Content".

Please read the Regarding In-App Purchases thread for more information.

Game Version

You should always use the latest game version as there may be fixes and new updates. Using an outdated version may cause unforeseen issues to your game.

To check for game version in game:

Open game, go to Settings Menu and the version is listed at the bottom right of the screen

To check for game version if you can't open the game:

Open App Store, search game name (or Storm8), click on Dream City: Metropolis app, on the left side, under the logo it will show current game version

New Device - transfer your games

When you get a new device, you have a choice of setting a new city on your new device or transfer your current city to it.

To set a new city:

1. Download Dream City: Metropolis unto your new device.
2. Start playing on your new city. Don't forget to set your new Storm8 ID and password.

To transfer your current city to your new device:

- Perform the following instructions.

Transfer your games
You can use the Login feature to transfer your Storm8 ID and all Storm8 games over to your new device. Since Dream City: Metropolis does not have the login feature, you will need to use any game, except Restaurant Story 1, listed on Post 1 of the Login Feature thread instead.

Please see the instructions on post 1 of the New Logon on Feature thread.

If you have issues transferring your games, you can contact Storm8 Support: https://support.storm8.com/hc/en-us/requests/new and they can transfer your games.

Note:
(1) If you are selling or giving away your old device, it is recommended that you contact Storm8 Support: https://support.storm8.com/hc/en-us/requests/new and ask them to remove your Storm8 ID and games tagged to that device.

(2) Playing on devices of different platforms may cause sync errors.

Sync Issues
Ensure your connection is good. Always fresh start your game before you do any actions to avoid sync issues. It is recommended that we do not leave our games running in the background.

• If you discover that you have forgotten to close out your game, force shut it without doing any activity and start it again.
• You can force save your game progress by clicking on your city exchange.
• Do not leave your game immediately after your last action. Try to force save your game progress and sync with Storm8 servers before closing your game.

Create a Storm8 ID

For recovery of games, it is important that you set a Storm8 ID and password. Since Dream City: Metropolis does not have the feature, you have to download another Storm8 game (e.g. Bakery Story, Farm Story 2, Restaurant Story 2, etc) to do so. Once you have downloaded the other game, start it and open the Social page from the Menu, tap the Invite tab and sign up for one. You can set your password under Help/FAQ in Game Settings. Once you have done that, all new Storm8 games (including Dream City: Metropolis) installed on that device will be under this account.

Remember that when choosing a Storm8 ID this is what you will give to other players if you want them to invite you as a neighbour in other games, so be sure that you choose wisely.
