Not automatically, but if your plant is in his planned path you're screwed.

Is his planned path always to go for your garbage dump in a straight line? Does he always start in the center of the map?

Most of the worst aspects of this game are due to its environmental preaching.
Hey, Maxis people, read Power Hungry by Bryce and then get back to me.

Java, that's an awesome city. What are some of your tricks of the trade?

Not sure, I always thought his starting point and path were random.

Is anyone else having issues with recycling? I'm relying on them for my alloy for processors, but they just won't recycle waste even though both are stuck at 20/20 tons.
Looks like it is yet another wonderful game breaking bug.
http://answers.ea.com/t5/Miscellaneous-Issues/BUG-Recycling-centers/td-p/655292/highlight/false
The gist of it is that your recycling plant will just decide to stop processing the recyclables. You can have all the storage space in the world but it will just sit there.
What's really great is that this happened to me just after I made the switch to processor manufacturing, and now I'm bankrupt because I can't get raw materials.
For whatever reason i make more money pumping out processors vs doing tvs and computers.

Also, the fact that you can build power plants so close to the heart of your city. Have you ever seen a skyscraper within 1-2 km of a coal power plant?
I had a solar farm with the best researched vert grids with hopes i could buy power from other regions.
This worked perfectly, until apparently the server stopped working correctly and couldn't correctly give power. My city lost about 80% of its high wealth residents cause they didnt want to live in a powerless cesspool.
Thanks EA.

So, what do you chaps do about water? My fairly young city has evidently exhausted its supply. The only water table left is smack dab under the middle of downtown, and it's very minor...
Only about 10 kgals available from the region.

Ive been wondering the same thing myself. I buy from my neighbors, and It seems as though my sewage treatment plant is putting water back into the ground that is usable.

The same thing happened to me with my coal power plant. I even tried building a coal mine to get my own coal, but the plant wasn't getting coal. I had to demolish my coal plant and put in an oil plant which nearly bankrupt me.
For the water issue, you need to have a sewage treatment plant to replenish the water table. It's also supposed to replenish automatically from rain, but that seems to be bugged, or it's not working because of a server problem.
Im sure the rain is one feature they turned off to save bandwidth. You can pobably buy it in future DLC.
Hmmm...wouldn't the sewage treatment plant lead to your water being contaminated?
Is anyone interested in kind of making a new region as a take two?

I put my water pumping station next to the sewage treatment plant. Be sure you bulldoze the initial "regular" pump and only build filtered pumps. The poo water seems to create an endless supply of water to be treated.
Regarding coil and oil power plants: be sure you check the box to accept global deliveries, AND your traffic situation is such that the delivery truck can make it into town on time.

Come on over to Scotchland on NA E4, there's only 3 out of 16 cities started, but I'm about to start my second one. It's public, so no invite needed.

The 3 P's of SimCity:
1) Practice laying out stuff on previous cities so you don't have to keep rebuilding stuff
2) Patience. Let the buildings evolve and progress.
3) Processors
There is no invite needed, but I could not find a way to search for a game by name. I had to friend Javajaws in order to be able to find the game and join it. I may have missed where to search for a specific game, but I looked at every menu I could find.
I do hate that the areas are so small that I have to destroy something and redo it rather than expand first, then go back and rebuild what is messed up.

Meh I started an Aggieland take two if any of you made some mistakes on your initial cities, want to make new ones, or if yours wont load anymore like one of mine.
Friend madmarttigan and message me
Friend madmarttigan and message me
Seems we have like 5 different Aggielands. Apparently nerds aren't very coordinated.
On that note - There's now an Antarctica 1 region. I'm hoping for snow covered regions, but I'm doubtful.

Dangit, left the game on last night thinking that I had enough room to grow while I slept. I did... for a while. I doubled my population, but then water ran out, police station shut down, crime went through the roof, and *poof*. Came back online to 2K population, -20k per hour, and about 90% of my city in rubble.
Reboot time.
Reboot time.
I'll join the new Aggieland probably. I got shoe horned into a not so great region because I came late to the party on the other server. Plus it was my first city so mistakes abound lol.
Just send madmarttigan a friend request Ill get you guys in the new aggieland region for a reboot.
Wee I think there are only 3 regions right now. 1 is on NA east 1 where I refuse to mess with it. Most of us are on the oceanic server where there is an aggieland. Now there is a second one since that one is mostly full and a lot of it is people's first city.

Someone please list out the servers and regions we are on. Im currently in two different ones with you guys. The first one was a train wreck so Im not goin back. May be interested in joining scotchland (seems to be the newest one)
from what i have gathered there is:
NA East 1 - server issues
Oceanic 2 -
Aggieland - most peoples first towns.
Aggieland Take Two - the newest one
NA East 4 - Scotchland
I screwed up my town pretty bad in Aggieland so the take two game is appealing to me.

Eventually I will be picking this up. I went ahead and added everyone and you guys can add me too.

My city just got pwned by zombies!
So is it not possible to search for a region?
I must suck at this game. Everytime my city gets to 100k pop, it stop going and I go broke. I see some of you got millions of cash floating around. Would be nice if the damned recycling center worked right.
I just got hit by zombies, an earthquake and ****ing godzilla in about 2 hours...
JJxvi, i don't think so. Oceania 2 has a queue so i went to look for Scotchland and didn't see anywhere to search.

That's what I did too.
I couldnt find Scotchland anywhere, but am firing up a region on Antarctica server. Region is called Alcoholic Aggies
They limited the search by user function to ease server load. When it's working you can filter by user to find a region you want.
So is this game working finally? I've been working all weekend and haven't tried since Thursday.
