    Are we supposed to put the same business multiple times? I am level 9 and running out of buildings that need orders to fill. If i put more houses i will be out of space fast and i am surely not making enough money to buy the eog park and build it. Getting bored fast and I don't want to have 2 of the same businesses in my city!!!!

    I'm putting duplicate businesses on until I can replace them with new business because they do generate income. Also: at my low level 8 most generate 10 coins per day but 2 of them generate 20 coins per day so for now I want to pick the higher yield...I noticed that the higher level I am the same business will have orders of higher level/unlocked products. More income for those.


    I'm trying to figure out a road layout that gives optimum space for buildings. Any ideas from people who have played the city games?

    So this is why I came here, to get some ideas. Thankfully, I saw a post saying that factories (any building which makes stuff) DON'T NEED ROADS!!! The secret to maximizing your space!

    Besides factories and city hall, every building must have road access that connects to the train station.
    The best strategy is to line your factories up along the rails, except for the crossing where you need a road. To do this, you must remove the original road which runs the length of the rails. Plus leave an additional green space between factories and your road for houses or whatever.
    Your main road will come out perpendicular to the rails at the crossing. Then you can arrange 'blocks' 2 deep and however many you want wide, and organize areas however you like. Also best to have buildings around the perimeter (edge) and roads in between. Leave as many buildings out of storage to maximize your population and mastery stars.

    A good way to earn coins is to sell high priced items in your 'City Exchange.'. You can sell some items for much more than you would get otherwise. Also, always keep one store of each type (dining, shopping and building) on the go. I keep my active ones in one place, near my factories, then move the 5-stars off to the edges.

    Thanks for excellent tips! I'm in the process of rearranging my city and thank you, it really helps.
    I've managed to have 2 departament stores and brownstones, which free so much space. I'm surprise that landmark also needs access to road, it sucks :/ I don't really like my city yet, but it will get better

    Glad you found my tips useful. :-)
    I find as I expand it opens up the right amount of space along the tracks to place all my factories, which is nice. And I put them in order so I'm not bouncing ll around if I use the scroll feature.
    I also made a central square (less central, more across from the boardwalk, furthest from the train station) with the city hall in the middle and grass two deep all the way around. This way, I could place brownstones and any 1x2 or 2x2 buildings so they are touching the city hall on one side and the road on the other, and on each corner I placed a few singles (1x1) houses or businesses or whatnot. Took a lot of moving stuff around, but it was worth it!

    Anybody have good tips for maximizing population? My population seems to lag behind my mastery stars. Not enough coins to buy enough houses, brownstones, etc. I think my main issue is largely one of cashflow.

    Welcome to the forum, gwendolin67.

    You need not buy roads; they're free. See this https://forums.storm8.com/showthread....=1#post1318979 on adding roads. Have fun.

    I was wondering what we are supposed to do with the new Halloween buildings? I am packed full, no room no where to put any buildings. When are they going to expand over the water so we can have more room? Also, my inventory is about full from parts to expand, that I can't hold many items for my deliveries. Please help!!

    I am out of room too but stored my buildings to make space for the new Halloween buildings. I've been deleting my parts to make more room for my inventory. E.g. I deleted my sledgehammers which are useless without hardhats and bricks. Choose wisely if you want to delete yours. Hope this helps.
