Bob-Omb Battlefield - Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic GamesAs soon as I get back to Bob-omb Battlefield, I get a notices that:
- People living here are commuting out of town to get to work, so I should build more commercial/industrial zones.
- People from out of town are commuting in to work here, so I should build more residential zones to keep workers local.
awhuuuuaaaatI ignore both notices and plant trees. Turns out this is what my ailing high-tech industrial lot needed: some foliage to increase the land value.
Neato. (Offices grow like weeds around a stock exchange.)
I keep having to crank up the amount of water I purchase in Hyrule, and Bob-omb Battlefield keeps growing too. Eventually I just bulldoze the six (!!!) water pumps I've had to build and put in a single Large Pump. A Large Pump has the capacity of ten smaller ones, so that oughta get everybody off my back for a while.
The city's ability to create garbage has exceeded the Waste to Power plant's ability to burn it all off. But I want to pollute this corner
less, not more -- high-tech industries have started to move in here, too. There's a snowball effect as I bulldoze more dirty/manufacturing lots to give the high-techs enough unpolluted room to grow, as the high-techs move into the spots I just vacated. Eventually they're up against the existing Waste to Power plant, and abandon from the pollution.
So I build a couple Waste to Power plants on the far side of the mountain, out of everybody's way, and demolish the original one. Now the Industrial lot in the southwest corner is all high-tech...
...and I get messages about having nearly solved the city's pollution issues.
Getting a bird's-eye view of the city, there's one spot right in the middle where nobody wants to go. Desirability is in the red for every kind of lot. (Turns out this is the Disease Control Center, where nobody wants to live or work.)
Better bird's-eye view. All my industry is nonpolluting High-Tech.
Enough to save myself the cash on the upkeep for a water treatment plant... or so I think. The advisors will complain and bitch and moan as long as you don't have one, regardless of what the actual pollution level of the water is.
Next time: Another new city!
