SimCity BuildIt: A Beginner’s Guide

What is the control in the game? How to explore the surroundings? Use one finger to press buttons and move objects and numerous elements of your city. Buildings can be moved by tapping and holding them. To explore the city: move with one finger on the screen; zoom in and out with two fingers; rotate the image by turning two fingers clockwise or counterclockwise. Tilt up or down with two fingers.

Can I change the name of the city? Go to the "Settings" menu and select "Rename City". The name of the city will be displayed when advertising products in the main office of the World Trade Operations company and during the visits of your friends, so choose a decent name!

How to visit your friends? Connect to the game through Facebook, Game Center or Google Play, and you can visit the cities of your friends. Inspect their city, look at their statistics, and do not forget to go to the warehouse to see what they have for sale! Click on the green friends icon on the left side of the screen to see a list of your friends.

How to increase the population? It’s simple: take care of your citizens! Well-off residential areas are more likely to attract more citizens. The construction and modernization of residential areas increases the base population. To maintain the standard of living of the population, it is necessary to ensure the work of city services, and further improve their quality through specializations: parks, education, entertainment and transport.

When solving the problem of where to place specializations, blue columns will appear on the map. They indicate how many percent the population will increase if you start construction in the place where you hover over, so choose carefully! The population counter is located at the top of the screen and is displayed as a blue icon depicting people.

How to maintain the level of happiness of citizens? If your citizens do not like something, they will leave their homes and move to another city. And there is one good reason for which it is worth maintaining the level of happiness of citizens - the more satisfied the citizens, the more taxes you will collect. Pay attention to the counter of happiness in the form of a smiling face on the left of the screen. If the face is not bright green, there are several ways to find out what the problem is.

Urban thoughts icons tell you about problems such as traffic jams, broken city services, boredom, or a polluting plant nearby. If red exclamation marks appear on the icons on the right of the screen, find out immediately what is happening! These icons will tell you what can be improved to make your citizens happy. You can also visually assess the level of happiness of each individual district by selecting the government icon in the city services menu.

What is City Services? Your citizens have needs! As a mayor, you must consider eight key points that make up the well-being of your citizens. If residents are unhappy, they will leave the city! Firstly, administrative buildings are necessary to ensure that everything in the city runs smoothly, and your budget is replenished by taxes in simoleons and achievements for which you receive SimCash.

Secondly, urban areas need to be provided with basic utilities such as electricity, water, sewage and waste disposal. And thirdly, your citizens will feel more confident if there are emergency services nearby, such as firefighters, police, hospitals and clinics.

How to make the city more attractive? If you prefer marble and glass skyscrapers to brick and plastic buildings, attract wealthier people to your city. If you provide a certain district with city services and specializations (parks, entertainment, police, firefighters, educational institutions, clinics, hospitals and transport), then with the subsequent modernization of neighboring buildings they will become more and more attractive!

The better the infrastructure in a particular area, the better the appearance of the buildings. You can see the cost of land in your city by clicking on the residential area icon on the right of the screen. You can also see how each building will change with subsequent modernization.

SimCity BuildIt: Game Currency and Items

What are the "simoleons" and where to get them? The Simoleons are your daily currency: their number depends on the amount of taxes paid by citizens. You receive them as a reward for the construction of buildings and their modernization. This is what you spend and what you get from sales and deals. You will need simoleons to purchase various types of buildings and to improve roads. Simoleons make the world of SimCity spin!

Start earning Simoleons by marking up residential areas - the plots on which citizens will build their homes. As the city grows, new opportunities will open up for you to modernize buildings, collect taxes, cargo deliveries, enter into transactions and sell goods to other players. For each of these actions you will receive simoleons. If things go wrong, you can exchange SimCash for simoleons or purchase simoleons in the store.

What is SimCash and where to get them from? SimCash is a currency more in line with the status of the mayor than the Simoleons. You automatically get a pile of SimCash at the base of the city, and you can use them to "grease" your contractors (and not only) to speed things up a bit. If you wish, you can immediately exchange SimCash for simoleons. Get prize SimCash for each accomplished urban achievement! Rewards for achievements will be waiting for you in the mayor’s mansion. Additionally, SimCash can be purchased at the store.

How to get golden keys? Even more elitist than SimCash, gold keys are worth their weight ... gold! Gold keys cannot be bought for either Simoleons or SimCash. They can only be earned for the delivery of goods or for the restoration of the city after a natural disaster. They are worth collecting, as they will allow you to purchase very cool (and sometimes very famous) elite buildings that will appeal to you and your citizens. Be the envy of all tourists!

What are "special items"? You can often see icons depicting the thoughts of citizens emerging over their homes. Click on them to find out what their residents think. For your interest in their aspirations and needs, your population will sometimes reward you with special items! There are several types of special items of various subjects. Once you collect the collection, you can exchange them for the expansion of the city warehouse, the opening of areas for additions or the launch of disaster trials. If you are eager to receive new special items, you can purchase them with SimCash.

What are urban achievements? City achievements are awarded in the mayor’s mansion. They can be obtained for outstanding work as mayor, for example, for achieving the required number of residents, for successful trade, or for ensuring the perfect operation of city services in the city. Get various achievements depending on the chosen direction of the city development. Solar power? Education? Sin? There are achievements for any choice. Upon earning an achievement, you also receive a SimCash reward. Each achievement has three difficulty levels, and you will receive SimCash for each of them.

Acceleration items and speed tokens. Great buildings generate 3 types of acceleration items. You will need several acceleration objects of the same type to collect one speed token:

Click acceleration objects over great buildings to collect them. A counter will appear indicating how many parts you have already assembled. What type of token you get depends on the type of great building. For example, cheetah speed buildings produce parts for cheetah speed tokens, and great llama speed buildings produce parts of llama speed tokens.

How to use speed tokens? With speed tokens, you can speed up the production of goods in commercial buildings. Click on the commercial building and then on the icon with the speed token. A menu opens with a list of your speed tokens. To increase the productivity of a building, drag one of the tokens into the production queue.

All your speed tokens are stored in the management of great projects. Click on it to see which tokens you have in stock.

SimCity BuildIt: War Store and Combat Simoleons

What are battle simoleons? Battle simoleons - one of the types of currency in SimCity BuildIt. On it you can buy purchases in a military store.

What is a military store? This is an in-game store where you can purchase items for club wars for battle simoleons and other currencies available in the game. To get into it, go to the club wars menu and click on the icon on the left side of the screen, under the settings icon.

Items from the military store will allow you to expand your capabilities and turn the tide of the club war.

What items can I buy at a military store? The assortment of the store includes:

Each batch of items is available for a limited time, counted down by a timer at the top. Once it is over, the range of the military store will be updated. The availability of certain items in a military store depends on the arena in which you play.

What can be spent fighting simoleons? For them, various items are purchased that facilitate the conduct of club wars. Having opened a military store, in the upper right corner of the screen you will see the number of combat simoleons you have. They are indicated by a triangular purple icon.

How to get battle simoleons? There are two ways to do this:

  1. Participating in club wars and receiving prize chests.
  2. Restoring areas of your city that suffered in club wars.

Do not forget to regularly visit the military store in search of new items that will help you in the conduct of the war.

SimCity BuildIt: Production of Raw Materials and Goods

Value. Factories and commercial buildings can be used to produce the goods necessary to increase and maintain the population. A successful city begins with the industrial revolution. Factories produce raw materials (such as metal, chemicals, and wood), and commercial buildings process two or more products to produce various goods (such as chairs, garden gnomes, and sacks of flour). These manufactured and processed goods can be used for the construction and modernization of residential areas in the city, or you can sell and earn extra Simoleons. Any of these approaches will benefit your budget!

Plants

Factories are the workhorses of your city, so make sure they are often loaded with work: time is money! If smoke comes from the pipes, it means that the plants are engaged in the production of goods. If the sleep icon "Zzzz" appears above the plant, then it is idle. Unlock more varieties of materials, more production sites, and more efficient plants as you progress in the game. Click on the factories icon on the right of the screen to see a list of factory buildings, including those currently operating in the city and those that can be built.

When you select any building in the "Plants" menu, you will see information on how to arrange various plants in the city:

Land for production. As you progress in the game, you will be able to unlock more sites for production - they allow you to place more plants in the city. When new production sites become available, a number appears next to the plants icon.

The construction of factories. After selecting the plant you want to build, drag it to the map. Do not forget to take into account its pollution radius on the map and its impact on the surrounding areas! The white light under the moving building indicates where it will be located in the city. It should be near the road and not intersect with other real estate. If necessary, you can scale or rotate the map to look at the location of the building at different angles, then click on the green checkmark to confirm your choice.

Moving factories. Press and hold the plant you want to move, move it to a new location, then click on the green checkmark if you are satisfied with the new location. See how the movement of the building will affect neighboring residential areas; if the pollution radius of the plant covers a residential area, its residents will be unhappy! Wherever you place the plant, remember that it is necessary to pave the way for it so that it can take out its goods.

Demolition of factories. Demolishing plants is not forbidden. Since the number of production sites is limited, you can demolish older and inefficient plants to make room for new, more environmentally friendly plants with a large number of production cells. For the demolition of the acquired factories you will be reimbursed part of the spent simoleons. To demolish a plant, press and hold the building, then click on the bulldozer icon that appears on the right side of the screen. A message appears on the screen asking for confirmation.

When you click on one of the plants, information on the materials that can be produced here, the number of free production cells and a timer with a countdown to the end of production if any goods are produced at that time will appear on the screen. Good advice: to speed up production and receive finished goods, super-efficient mayors can quickly switch between factories by clicking on the yellow buttons that now appear at the top of the screen!

How to produce goods? Press and hold any product name in the factory to view:

  1. Production time - how long will the production of goods take.
  2. In the city warehouse - how many units of this product are already in your stock.
  3. If the product is not available , what level do you have to reach in order to unlock it?

Select the material you want to produce by dragging it onto the factory building or onto an empty production cell. The production timer will begin the countdown and all production cells will start at the same time! You do not have to wait until the production of one type of product is completed in order to start the production of another.

At the end of production, the icons of your products will appear above the factory. Click on them to pick up the goods. They are also displayed in the factory cells when you scroll through the plants with the yellow arrows. If your city warehouse is full and you cannot pick up the manufactured goods, it will remain at the factory, but you will not be able to produce new goods until you empty its production cells!

Commercial buildings

Commercial buildings (i.e. shops and markets) are the most acceptable type of production for the city. Try to keep them open and busy more often. If the lazy inscription "Zzzz" appears above the commercial building, it means that it is idle without work! As you progress through the game, you will discover new production formulas and a wider selection of commercial buildings. Click on the icon of commercial buildings on the right of the screen to see a list of commercial buildings, including those currently operating in the city, and those that can be built.

When you select any building from the Commercial Buildings menu, you will see information on how to place it in the city.

As you progress in the game, more cool commercial buildings will become available to you. If a number appears next to the commercial buildings icon, this means that new buildings have become available.

Construction of commercial buildings. After selecting the commercial building that you want to build, drag it onto the map. Citizens like to live near shops and markets, so you do not have to consider the impact on the level of happiness in the district. The white light under the moving building indicates where it will be located in the city. It should be near the road and not intersect with other real estate. If necessary, you can scale or rotate the map to look at the location of the building at different angles, then click on the green checkmark to confirm your choice.

Moving commercial buildings. Click and hold the commercial building you want to move, move it to a new location, then click on the green checkmark if you are comfortable with the new location. Wherever you place the building, remember that it is necessary to pave the way for it so that manufactured goods can be taken out.

Demolition of commercial buildings. Commercial buildings are too useful to demolish - where will city dwellers buy furniture, donuts and tomatoes? Did anyone think of llamas ?! For commercial buildings, the demolition option is not available. If you click on a commercial building in the city, you will see a list of goods that can be produced, a list of available production cells and a timer with a countdown to the end of production if any goods are produced at that time.

To speed up production and receive finished goods, super-efficient mayors can quickly switch between commercial buildings by clicking on the yellow buttons that now appear at the top of the screen!

Production cells in a commercial building are launched one after another: when the production of one type of product ends, the other starts. For super-duper efficiency, here you can use SimCash in two ways: either instantly complete the production of goods by clicking on the yellow button under it, or purchase additional production cells.

How to start the production of goods in commercial buildings? In a commercial building, tap and hold on a product to view:

Select the material you want to produce by dragging it onto a commercial building or onto an empty production cell. To save time, at this stage you can purchase materials that are missing for the recipe for SimCash. When production starts, the necessary materials will be removed from the city warehouse, and the production timer will begin the countdown.

At the end of production, the icons of your products will appear on the commercial building. Click on them to pick up the goods. In the same way, they can be picked up immediately from the production cell. If your city warehouse is full and you cannot pick up the goods produced, it will remain in the commercial building, but you will not be able to produce new goods until you empty its production cells!

SimCity BuildIt: Purchase, sale, delivery of goods and conclusion of transactions

Produce goods and deliver goods to earn Simoleons, sell goods from a warehouse, check what is up for sale in world trade, and also conclude (or reject) transactions for simoleons with other characters in your city.

Creation of lots of goods, their advertising, change of conditions and sale. As soon as your population reaches the minimum level that allows you to open a warehouse, you will find it at the exit of the city. Click on it to start the sale. Other mayors will be able to see the goods that you place here for sale in the main office of the World Trade Operations company if you do not forget to advertise them! Boxes on the shelves are waiting for your goods!

Putting up a lot for sale. Click on the cardboard box to create a lot for sale.

On the right, you will see the current size of your city warehouse and a scrollable inventory list. Click on a product from the warehouse and it will miraculously appear in the box on the right. The yellow plus and minus buttons allow you to specify how many units you want to sell and the transaction price. To place another lot, click on another cardboard box in the warehouse. Repeat the same steps to choose what you want to sell and how much. To close the Create Lot screen without creating it, click on the blue X in the upper right corner of the screen.

Advertising goods in world trade. Check the blue box "Place an advertisement" so that your goods can be seen in other cities (without advertising, your goods are not displayed in the head office of the World Trade Operations company). Then click on the green "Place for sale" button to let the whole world know about your business.

Perhaps the button "Place an ad!" will not appear immediately after the creation of your first lot of goods, but soon you will see that free advertising is again available, according to the instructions of the timer. If you do not want to wait, you can urgently purchase advertising space for SimCash. Boxes with goods advertised at the head office of World Trade Operations will bear its logo.

Change lot. To check the details of the added lot, click on the corresponding cardboard box. You will see the name of the product, how many units are on sale, what price you set for the lot, and whether it was advertised. If you change your mind and want to remove the lot from the shelf of the warehouse, click on the red button (but think carefully - it will cost you SimCash, and the goods will be lost!). If you have run out of empty boxes at the warehouse, but you want to put up for sale other goods right now, you can purchase additional boxes for SimCash. Click on the box with the yellow sticker in the lower right corner of the warehouse.

Lot sale. You have chosen the right product and price, and someone bought your item. When the item is sold, you will receive a notification. The next time you visit the warehouse, you will see an image of the buyer and a large green tick. If the goods have not yet been sold, wait a while. Probably the next time you should choose a different product and price, and do not forget to twist ads whenever possible (and also regularly invite friends). If all else fails, then mayor Daniel is worth a visit!

How to buy goods from other cities? As soon as the number of your population reaches a certain level, the head office of World Trade Operations will become available to you. You will find it on the main highway outside the city.

Here you can see the advertised goods from other cities and find out if there are any of them that interest you. Remember that the price of a lot is determined by the seller, so look who offers the best price!

Click on a product to visit the seller’s city, and go straight to the warehouse to confirm the transaction (and see what else they have interesting). After confirming the purchase, the goods will be sent to your city warehouse. You can also buy goods directly from friends, as well as from the mayor of a neighboring city, Daniel. Click on the green friends icon, then on the image of the friend you want to visit. In the visited city, go to the warehouse to see what they have for sale.

What are these deals that constantly offer my city? This is just a convenient way to earn Simoleons and free up some storage space. Click on the icon for the image of speech in which the simoleon is drawn as soon as it appears in your city.

To close the deal, click "Yes!" And the simoleons will appear on your account. To opt out, click "No, thanks." No one will be offended, and soon new offers will appear. If at the moment you do not have a product, but you would like the transaction to take place (perhaps these products will appear soon), click on the screen outside the transaction window and then it will be saved on your card.

Goods delivery

Get simoleons and golden keys by delivering goods. Click on the dock for cargo ships on the coast and learn how to prepare for the meeting of the first ships.

When the dock is completed, find out what goods need to be loaded onto the ship for the first delivery: start producing them now, to be fully armed when the ship arrives. A countdown counter indicates when it should sail. If you do not want to wait so long, the captain can sail in full steam and earlier for a small SimCash reward: click on the yellow button to pay, and the ship will appear in a couple of minutes.

The ship has arrived. All hands on deck! Click on the dry cargo ship to see the full list of the order, the available rewards for the packaged goods and how long the ship will go back to sea. For each full loading of one type of goods (for example, bricks: 3/3), you will receive the amount indicated below in simoleons. For the full packaging and loading of the entire order (for example, bricks: 3/3, roulettes: 3/3, hammers: 3/3), you will receive all the rewards indicated in the simoleons and a golden key as a bonus! Gold keys cannot be bought or sold, they can be obtained only for the delivery of goods and for testing disasters.

If the ship leaves, and you did not manage to load all the goods, you will receive simoleons for the goods that you managed to pack, but you get the golden keys only for the full delivery of the entire order. Not enough time to ship all the goods? You can buy missing products for SimCash by clicking on the corresponding product.

If you want to try your luck with a completely new ship (and a new order), click "New Ship", then "Accept" to confirm. At the same time, a new countdown timer will be launched, the old ship will sail, and the new order will be on its way! Speed up its appearance with SimCash.

SimCity BuildIt: Construction and Modernization of Residential Areas

Living sector. Residential area is an area intended for the construction of residential buildings. The construction of residential areas in SimCity BuildIt is the key to population development! Click on the living area icon on the screen to the right. Now you will see residential buildings on the city map, as well as useful information - the total number of buildings, how many buildings can be modernized and how many abandoned buildings.

Switch between the other two modes - land value and weather forecast. Click on the blue stripe icon to see a map of the city in various shades of blue. They indicate the value of land in your city! The darker the shade is blue, the more desirable is the housing in the area; this means that there are city services and specializations. Wealthy city dwellers like to build their houses in dark blue areas, so try to place such zones here.

To see how the value of land will affect the subsequent modernization of residential buildings, click on the yellow helmet to see the weather forecast. Make upgrades in the dark orange areas, and after it the buildings will look very luxurious!

How to build? Drag the living area onto the map. A white glow below the moveable zone indicates where it will be located in the city. It should be near the road and not intersect with other real estate. Scale or rotate the map to see the location in more detail, then click on the green checkmark to confirm your choice. Take a closer look - contractors have already begun excavation work! Click on X (rightmost) to exit the view of residential areas. Now you see the yellow helmet icon. Click on it to view floor plans.

Building plans. You know, houses do not grow on trees, planning is required here! Building plans indicate what materials are required to build houses, the number of residents in the house, and how many simoleons and experience you will get when you finish construction. Produce and collect materials from the list so that the contractor can begin work. If a green checkmark is displayed next to the helmet icon, it means that you have all the necessary goods!

Super-efficient mayors can quickly switch between residential areas by clicking on the yellow buttons that now appear at the top of the screen.

If you have little time, you can buy the missing materials instead of producing them. Drag the list of materials from the floor plan to the living area and click on the yellow button to use SimCash.

These plans are no good. Find me another architect! If you don’t like the list of necessary materials indicated in the building plan, click on "Request new drawings" to change them to others. You will have to wait a while until the new building plans are ready (you yourself fired the old architect!), So click on the blue timer icon that appears above the zone to see how long it will take. If you don’t want to wait, the architect can be persuaded to hurry up (give him a little SimCash for, "inspiration!"). When all the necessary materials are collected, drag them to the living area and you will instantly get simoleons and experience points.

I did not build the building where I wanted to. What to do? Moving a building is very simple: click and hold the building you want to move, drag it to the desired location, and click on the green checkmark. Remember that all buildings should be located next to the road!

Demolition. If there is very little space on the map and you want to completely remove one of the buildings, press and hold it, then click on the bulldozer icon that appears on the screen on the right. A confirmation message will appear on the screen. When demolishing residential areas, remember two things: their construction does not require Simoleons, so when demolishing you will not receive any compensation, but the population of the city will decrease!

Is it possible to rotate a building? Building contractors will automatically build the building with a facade to the road, so you do not need to rotate the building.

Modernization of the existing residential area. Modernization is necessary to increase the number of citizens and to maintain their level of happiness. If a yellow helmet appears above the building, this means that the building is ready for modernization. Click on the icon to view available building plans and rewards, then get started!

As long as your citizens are satisfied with their lives, they will strive to improve their building to the maximum. When the time comes that you will not be able to further upgrade residential buildings, this will mean that the time has come to expand the boundaries of the city!

What happens when a building becomes abandoned? If this happens, and the residents begin to move out, the abandoned area will create a white spot on the map of coverage with urban services, but the modernization of the residential area will not require additional utilities. But you can handle this situation! Ensure the safety of this area, connect it to the necessary city services, and the residents will begin to return themselves.

SimCity BuildIt: Road Construction and Maintenance

Why do we need roads? Roads are the most important arteries of your city. Buildings must be connected by road to the rest of the city in order to function. Roads not only provide traffic and connect your city with the outside world, with their help the infrastructure of urban services (such as electricity, water and sewage) is laid from building to building. Also do not forget that emergency vehicles must get on these roads to citizens who need help! Click on the road icon on the screen on the right to pave, upgrade or demolish the road.

Where to begin? Click the road icon on the right of the screen to check the status of your road system.

Road construction. Select the Build icon to enter road construction mode, then tap and drag your finger around the city to navigate the road. If you are not happy with the result, you can redraw the road by sliding your finger back along the drawn road, or click on the red checkmark to start all over again. When you finish building the road, click on the green checkmark to confirm. And now - asphalt instantly appears! And, best of all, the new road will not cost you a simoleon. Do not forget to place a suitable intersection for connecting roads to each other!

Traffic jams. As the city grows, the roads will become more congested. Your townspeople hate to stand in traffic jams. If they cannot get to work on time, they will start to leave! With the modernization of roads, the number of lanes increases, and citizens can drive without difficulty. When traffic congestion begins to roll over, the adviser will notify you of this, and a red exclamation mark will appear next to the road icon.

Modernization of roads. Click on the upgrade icon with helmet and traffic light. You will see a view of the city with a highlighted road network. Green / black roads = good. Red roads = bad!

The yellow light in this view indicates average traffic congestion. In the event of a sharp increase in population in this area, residents will complain! Red radiance does not mean anything good. This is where traffic jams form. Residents are unhappy with this situation and will soon begin to leave their homes. Click on the yellow and red sections of the road to find out how many simoleons are needed to upgrade the road to the next level, then click on the green checkmark to approve your decision. Improvements open as you progress in the game.

Demolition of roads. To reorganize your city, you probably need a new road network. Click the bulldozer icon, then the stretch of road you want to delete. If the road has more than 2 lanes, you will even be reimbursed part of the spent simoleons! Press to confirm your selection. After removing a section of the road, inspect the place where it ran - there could be buildings without a driveway! Do not forget to take a new road to them or move them to another place.

SimCity BuildIt: Expanding the Borders of the City and Using the City Warehouse

Why do we need a warehouse? How to increase its space? When purchasing goods through the World Trade Operations office or manufacturing them in factories and commercial buildings, they are stored in your inventory, which is stored in the city warehouse building. Free up space in the city warehouse using materials for construction and modernization.

Do not forget that you can also sell and buy goods (so keep an eye on the offers of deals appearing on the city map). To increase the capacity of the city warehouse, collect special items for the warehouse from the icons depicting the thoughts of citizens, then go to the city warehouse menu and click "Increase warehouse".

City warehouse. For more information about the city warehouse, find the blue city warehouse icon on the screen. The numbers below the icon (for example, 20/40) indicate the number of goods currently stored in your warehouse and its maximum capacity. Click on the city warehouse icon to view the contents of the inventory. It displays all the goods that you purchased, produced or otherwise received and have not yet spent.

The warehouse is almost full. What to do? If there is very little space, you can free up some space:

If your city warehouse is full, you will not be able to buy goods from friends or at the office of World Trade Operations, as you will have nowhere to store them. You will also not be able to pick up goods produced by your factories and commercial buildings. But there are exceptions when the city warehouse can be temporarily increased.

All special items that you collect from the icons with the thoughts of the townspeople will be placed in your inventory, even if there is no free space. You can also use SimCash to buy missing goods for the production cycle in a commercial building, to build a new building, to close a deal, or to send cargo. These goods are consumed at such a rate that they do not reach the warehouse.

The increase in the city warehouse. Go to the city warehouse and click on the green button "Increase warehouse" to see what special items for storage space are required to increase its capacity. Collect the necessary goods, click on the screen to confirm, and the size of your city warehouse will increase instantly. If you do not want to view icons with the opinions of your fellow citizens, you can purchase missing special items for SimCash.

The boundaries of the city. If you want to expand your horizons (in the literal and figurative sense), then you can easily expand the boundaries of the city. The current boundaries of the city, and likely areas of addition, are displayed in a translucent white dotted line. Click on the add-on area and you will see a list of special demolition items needed to attach it to your city.

Collect the necessary goods, click on the screen to confirm, and voila - the boundaries of the city have expanded. If you do not have time to read icons with the opinion of citizens, you can purchase the missing special items for SimCash. Now you have more space for a fantasy flight! You can select areas of addition in any order, but only if they border your city. Some lands are more attractive than others, so special items required may vary from region to region.

Is it possible to rebuild the city? Well, of course! Land is a very valuable resource, and you can rebuild the city at your discretion. It makes sense to replace, as far as possible, the old factories and constructions of city services with more modern analogues. Use the Demolish tool to remove roads, houses, and other buildings to free up space. You will even be reimbursed part of the simoleons spent on the construction of these buildings!

Click on the road icon, then select "Demolish" to remove sections of the road. To demolish a building, press and hold the building you want to remove, then click on the demolition icon that appears on the right of the screen. Now you can rearrange the space to your liking. But remember that demolition of a residential area will lead to a reduction in population!

SimCity BuildIt: Regions

What are the regions? Regions are additional areas for development, thanks to which you can expand your city. Regions play the role of satellite cities of your capital. They are located on unique maps and have a unique theme. The style of each region is emphasized by its special residential areas, factories, production workshops and materials for production. In total, five regions are available in the game:

  1. Green Valley;
  2. Cactus canyon;
  3. White cliffs.
  4. Cold fjord;
  5. Sunny islands.

How to play in the regions? To start discovering regions, you need to reach level 25 in the capital city. Click on the "Regions" icon in the lower left corner of the screen with your capital (to the left of the club chat icon) to open the regions menu.

In the menu of the regions you will see your capital and all available regions. Click on any of them for more details.

Before you select a region to unblock, you can familiarize yourself with it by clicking the "View Map" button. Click on the "Unblock" button to begin the development of the selected region.

Which region should I open first? The choice is yours. You can first familiarize yourself with all the regions, and only then decide which one to develop before the rest. Having selected a region for development, you will need to fulfill certain requirements before opening another. Below are the criteria for access to each new region:

What is a regional population and how is it calculated? The regional population is the number of inhabitants of the regions you have discovered. To find out the size of your regional population, click on the population icon located next to the city level. You will see the number of inhabitants in each of the unlocked regions, as well as their total number.

What are the residential areas of the regions? Each region has residential areas of its type (residential areas are the places where houses are being built). To build them, go to the menu of residential buildings from any region or capital. Residential areas from unlocked regions can be used in any other region, including the capital.

To improve regional residential areas, regional raw materials and regional products are required. For normal functioning of regional residential areas, regional services are needed.

What are regional services? Each region provides its own unique services that are needed in regional residential areas. Do not forget: service sector buildings from regions should not be placed in a warehouse and transferred to other regions. New buildings in the service sector can only be built in new regions.

To build buildings providing regional services, use the "Services" section in the menu of specialization buildings and city services, the icon of which is located in the lower right corner of the screen with your city.

Regional currency. Remember: regional currency can only be used in the region where you earned it! Each of the regions has its own special currency. Here is a list of regional currencies:

To obtain a regional currency, you need to perform certain actions in the corresponding region. You can earn regional currency by improving regional living areas in a given region or by selling regional items to local buyers (not players!). Regional currency can be used to build buildings that provide regional services, and to build a regional warehouse. To find out the amount of currency in your region, click on the regional currency icon in the upper right corner of the screen with your city (next to the SimCash icon).

What are regional factories and production workshops? In each region, there are factories and production workshops of a unique type. Regional factories produce regional raw materials, and in workshops it turns into regional products. Regional plants can only be built in the respective regions. For example, an eco-factory is available only in the Green Valley region. Regional factories can only produce regional raw materials.

Regional production workshops and regional products. Regional production workshops can only be located in the respective regions. For example, eco-shop is available only in the Green Valley region. Regional production workshops produce only regional products. Regional production workshops should not be placed in a warehouse for storage. New regional products become available as the city rises. Access to all goods opens at level 35.

Is it possible to expand regions? Yes! To expand the regions, you can use objects of a similar purpose from the capital. By clicking on the expansion area in the region, you will see how many items are required to access it.

Is it possible to use buildings from the capital in regional cities? In regional cities, you can build residential areas, utilities (energy and water supply, waste management and sewage) and urban services (fire protection, police and healthcare), as well as almost all specialization buildings used in the capital. All of the above in the regions must be rebuilt - these objects cannot be transferred from the capital through the warehouse.

The need for utilities depends on the specifics of a particular region. In each unlocked region, two additional Maxis estates can be built. Mining facilities are not available in the Green Valley, Cactus Canyon, and White Cliff regions. Beach facilities are not available in the Cactus Canyon and White Rocks regions. Administrative buildings can only be built in the capital.

SimCity BuildIt: City Airport and Tokyo Quarters

Unlock Tokyo quarters to expand trade. As soon as you reach a predetermined level of population, Tokyo will become available at your airport, which allows you to send goods to Tokyo!

Decoration of the city with Tokyo buildings. When you open the city of Tokyo in the list of directions of your airport, you also get access to a new type of residential buildings that you can build in your city. Click on the residential buildings menu to view Tokyo’s new residential areas. They can be erected and modernized, as well as ordinary residential areas, but their building plans include a special sign of the Tokyo residential quarter, which is only available for air cargo delivery.

In addition to its attractive appearance, Tokyo residential buildings are able to accommodate more residents than ordinary residential buildings, so that the number of people (and taxes collected) is growing faster. Remember that the higher the population density in Tokyo quarters, the greater the burden on city services. If services are unavailable to citizens, they will be unhappy, start paying less taxes and are likely to move to another city.

As in the case of ordinary residential buildings, the cost of land and the welfare forecast of tenants affect the appearance of Tokyo buildings with their subsequent modernization, so try to please the population by providing them with maximum services and specializations.

Air cargo delivery

Pay attention to the trucks at your airport - the flag of Japan near the warehouse indicates that loading of goods for delivery to Tokyo is currently expected. Click on the airport to see the list of goods requested for the next flight to Tokyo, the size of the reward in simoleons, and how much time you have to collect the goods until the next scheduled departure - it will take place on time, regardless of whether the cargo compartment of the aircraft is full.

When you have the necessary goods in stock at the city warehouse, click on the "Packaging" button under the Tokyo freight container to receive your simoleons. Download all three containers to activate the Take Off button. Click on "Take Off" before the time runs out and your reward for the delivery of goods will be waiting for you in the city warehouse.

If the plane takes off before you fill the entire cargo compartment, you will receive simoleons for the number of boxes that you managed to pack, but rewards for cargo delivery are issued only for completed cargo transportation. Not enough time to fill the cargo bay? You can buy missing items with SimCash.

If you are not happy with the list of requested products or with a specific reward for the delivery of goods, click "Request a new plane", then "Accept" to confirm. At the same time, the countdown will start again for sending a new cargo to Tokyo, the old plane will fly away, and a new plane will be sent to you with an application for the delivery of goods. Speed up its appearance with SimCash.

Each time you manage to fill the cargo compartment of the aircraft and send it to take off before the allotted time has elapsed, you will receive an exclusive item as a reward, which can only be obtained for air cargo delivery. Items received for air cargo delivery have a distinct Asian connotation, and there is an explanation for this. These Tokyo residential neighborhood signs provide access to Tokyo residential areas in your city.

Air delivery of goods to Tokyo and Paris at the same time. If you have already unlocked both the city of Tokyo and Paris, you can send goods to any of these destinations. Just click on the airport to change the direction of air delivery. National flags on trucks traveling around the airport warehouse indicate which country is currently being delivered. National truck flags indicate for which country goods are currently being loaded at the airport.

SimCity BuildIt: Specializations

What are Specializations? Utilities ensure the presence and growth of the population, and specializations increase it even more! Specializations add a special charm to the city and new entertainments with which citizens will want to live next door. They include incredible buildings and statistics-enhancing features. Choose specializations depending on what appearance of the city attracts you or on what you would like to occupy the population of your city.

Various specializations pave the way for various achievements! Parks, gambling, entertainment, attractions, education and the transport system provide citizens with a happy and interesting life, and then there is less chance that they will complain. They also increase the population locally, so pay attention to the blue stripes that appear when the specialization building is placed! The larger the strip, the more the population will increase. Everything here has its own characteristics, believe me.

Acquaintance with specializations. Click the Services icon in the lower right corner of the screen to view a list of specializations. Click on any active specialization to see on the city map the area of its impact on residential areas (if there are no buildings related to specializations in the city, the corresponding map display mode will not be available).

When choosing a specialization in the corresponding menu, you will find out what impact each of them has on the city. Super-efficient mayors can quickly switch between specializations (and services) by clicking on the yellow buttons that now appear at the top of the screen.

Choose specializations depending on what you would like to occupy the population of your city or how you would like to see your city. Remember that just like you and me, the townspeople have different tastes and different ideas about leisure, so they will probably want what they don’t have! The choice of different specializations opens the way to various achievements.

In the case of most specializations, it is necessary to place their head office in their city to unlock the rest of the buildings in this category. The head office also affects the coverage area and should be located next to residential areas. Most specialization buildings can be purchased with gold keys. Start collecting them by delivering goods or rebuilding the city after a disaster test.

Construction of specialized buildings. Click and drag the specialized building onto the map. Remember to place it next to the road. Click on the green checkmark to complete the purchase of a new building.

Moving specialized buildings. Press and hold the specialized building you want to move. Drag it to another location, then check the green box. See how the movement of the building will affect neighboring residential areas; if you move the attractive building away from the townspeople, they will also leave.

Demolition of specialized buildings. Press and hold the building. Click on the bulldozer icon that appears on the right side of the screen. Press to confirm demolition of the building. If you decide to demolish a park or some main office, you will get back part of the spent simoleons, but nothing will be reimbursed for the buildings for which you paid the golden keys, so think well whether you want to free this place, or just decided not to develop more this specialization. Remember that if you demolish the building of specialization and do not replace it with another, the entire population growth will be lost.

Types of specializations. The following specializations are:

Archive of specialized buildings

Save specialized buildings and equip your city. Want to design your city in a different theme? Now you can put specialized buildings in the archive to make room for new buildings.

How to archive a specialized building? Click on the specialized building that you want to archive. Click on the "Archive" icon (a blue box with a yellow drop-down arrow) - it is located under the "Demolish" icon. Click on "Archive" to add the building to the archive.

How to put a specialized building in the archive? You can put back the specialized building placed in the archive at any time. For example, you archived a small park with a fountain.

  1. Go to the parks menu.
  2. Near the small park with a fountain is the "Archive" icon, which shows how many parks you currently have in the archive.
  3. Click on a small park with a fountain and drag it to one of the fields of the city.

Will the placement of a specialized building in the archive somehow affect my city? By building specialized buildings in your city, you get population growth in the surrounding residential buildings. By archiving any of the specialized buildings, you lose the increase in population growth. Build specialized buildings in such a way that they match the desired urban layout.

SimCity BuildIt: Mayor Clubs

I was expelled from the club. Can I join another club? Yes, but you have to wait a bit. After exclusion from the club, a certain amount of time must pass before you can join another club.

Senior members. Senior members may accept or decline membership applications.

SimCity BuildIt: Club Wars

Club wars are real-time player-to-player battles in SimCity BuildIt. Team up with members of your club and compete with other clubs in hostilities. In order to participate in club wars, you must reach level 18 and join the club of mayors. If you are not a member of the club, you can search for a club to join, or create your own. Club Wars is an optional item in SimCity BuildIt. If you do not want to participate in club wars, find a club that specializes in mayoral contests and club trials.

How do club wars work? Players launch disasters over enemy cities to earn trophies. Collect disaster cards and upgrade them to strengthen your attacks. When searching for a club, try to find one that does what interests you. To do this, pay attention to their description.

As soon as the club starts a war, he becomes in line for the search for the enemy. Opponents of the club are selected based on their skill level to make the game more interesting and fair. A new war can only begin after 46 hours after the end of the previous one.

How to win the war? Different types of disasters give different numbers of combat points. At the end of the war, the club with the most combat points wins.

Disaster cards. Each disaster differs in the following ways:

There are 13 catastrophe cards of various types, from ordinary to legendary. Collect cards to open new disasters or improve existing ones. With the improvement of disasters, the number of combat points that they bring will increase. Disaster maps, as well as requirements for their launch, can be found in the map menu on the military map.

How to collect more disaster maps? You can get disaster cards from prize chests at the end of each war. By collecting disaster maps, you open up new disasters, which means that the more you participate in wars, the higher the chance to gain access to the most powerful disasters.

Joint battle. Use game chat to talk with other club members and develop a military strategy. How about launching a stone monster? Coordinate your goal with other members of your club to disable your opponent at the very beginning of the war. Do you have a lot of gas but not enough rubber ducks? Trade goods with associates who have what you need or who need what you have. Do not forget to watch the attacked cities to find out which players caused damage.

Second phase of the war: Military operations

The phase of hostilities lasts 36 hours. During hostilities, start earning battle points by launching disasters over the cities of the enemy club.

After that, a menu opens with a list of available disasters, for the launch of which you have military stocks available. To launch an attack, drag the disaster you want to apply onto the city of the enemy. The attacks take place in real time, and you can see how members of your club do damage. Disaster triggers require a certain amount of energy, so keep an eye on your energy level on a military map. But do not worry: during the war, energy is gradually restored.

If the city takes damage 10 times, a shield will turn on above it, which will eliminate the damage. At this time, the city cannot launch attacks or be attacked.

Third phase of the war: receiving rewards

At the end of the phase of hostilities, the club war ends. The club with the most combat points wins the war. You will receive prize chests based on how well your club performed and your personal contribution to the war.

Are you connected to the correct account? Uninstall the game and follow the installation instructions again by connecting to one of the alternative accounts that you could use to save the game. See the message "The account is already tied to another city"? This is because two different saved cities cannot be loaded onto one another.

If you see this message, you need to uninstall and reinstall the game. Then log in using an account that you cannot connect to at the moment. If you are sure that you saved your city, but still cannot find it, or if you lost an unsaved city due to an update or a game crash (nor did you delete the game by mistake, did not reset the device to factory settings and did not update OS), write about this to the support service.
