Should be the right link for the SCBI discord for this subreddit. Where were you looking that had outdated links?

Edit: If you are joining using this link, you will need to click the thumbs up emoji under the rules or the system auto removes you when you close discord

I use an app called parallel space (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lbe.parallel.intl) then install SimCity and Facebook through the app, should give you a feeder city, there are other 'parallel' apps out there but this one works well for me ��

Sorry for the bad formatting, on mobile ��

Yes! You don't have to start a task til you are ready to collect. Many mayors take advantage of this and "stack" tasks to collect later. For example, if you have different commercial tasks, start all simultaneously. You need to be aware of total time required to mfr the items requested, so you don't start collecting too soon. I plot out the sequence of collection and note it on index cards. Another thing I do is plan sequence of production tasks. Say for example, you need to produce plastic, shovels, and saplings. Well, plastic is used in shovels, and shovels used in saplings. So, I set things up accordingly.

I use a very convenient time calculator app all the time in CoM; its a lifesaver. Plus I make heavy use of digital timers to stay on top of things, in addition to my index card notes. I have to, I have several cities participate in CoM!

Facebook has some algorythm for new accounts to prevent fake accounts. If this triggers, it ask for a phone number. I had the same issue with my first try to create another fb account for my first feeder city and it was very annoying. After that I tried again but this time I put in some work to let the new account look as real as possible with a person behind including a profile picture, location, hobbies, liking some groups and sites, adding some restaurants near the location to my favourites. A good way to get a profile picture is a picture of your pet or a picutre generated by an algorythm which uses a GAN (generative adversarial network) for example this. After I created this account I waited for 3 days to connect it to the game. Et voila it worked and FB did not ask for a phone number and I was able to connect it to the game and friend it with the fb account of my main city. I repeated this 3 additional times for 3 more feeder cities and it worked fine again.

Not sure if all methods mentioned above are important but it somehow worked for me :)

I was looking at the play store and it says it was last updated September 7th and is still on version 1.39.2 so it doesn’t look like the update is available for the play store yet. Hopefully it will be available soon. You could try restarting your device and hopefully you can load back onto the game but if not you’ll just have to wait until the update is available.

Download Game Tuner by Samsung. Adjust SimCity resolution, I'd recommend adjusting between 60% and 80%, anything below 60% things will become too big. You can also adjust HW performance to increase system performance.

Nice setup, though it's hard to piece the screenshots together and view the whole city. At the risk of overkill, might I again suggest short video of you navigating the city. Makes for better storytelling too believe me!

Plenty of apps do screen recording, this one's on android https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.duapps.recorder

Woah. Calm down bro. No where in there did I say my way of playing was better than any one elses.

> I also couldnt help but notice you ignored the rest of the comment,

The rest of your comment was unfounded and non-supportive, but to please you how about this:

> lame.

Why is this lame? Because they acknowledge there is a massive flux of players in the game and that their cross platform exchange is slammed?

> the stock exchange is dynamic the hq is not.

Actually the SCBI Exchange is very dynamic, as you level, new items being to fill. Much like the actual NYSE, as new companies are coming public, their shares are being traded.

> other games have exchanges.

Sure. There are probably a few. Do those exchanges have more than 10 million players just on one platform? Likely not. SCBI has 10-50 million downloads just for Android. The Apple version doesn't list the number of downloads but I am sure its up there are well.

Can you name any mobile game that has an Exchange in it with more than 20 million (assuming another 10 million for iOS devices) players?

> to much of the game is spent in that exchange.

Already addressed this.

> I got a city sim.. not a stock sim.

Leads back to my original statement.

So as I said, you don't have to play in the SCBI Exchange but if you do just know that its designed to be as fair as it can be for the extremely large player base. Relax man, the game is in constant updates and rotation. For being a free game with ZERO ads, there really isn't much room for people to complain. Constant crashing, of course. Because you didn't get those Dozer parts or bars, thats not their fault.

The FB algorythm for accepting new fb accounts is kinda tricky. I have 4 different fb accounts for my feeder cities, which are all accepted. My first try did not work too, so I tried to make the fake accounts to look as realistic as possible with a "real" looking person behind. It seems most important is to have a profile picture, a realistic account name connected with an email adress with the same name in it. Once the account was created, liking some pages and adding some fake personal informations helped.

But keep in mind, that using profile pictures of other persons can get you into serious trouble. That's why I used profile pictures created by a GAN-algorythm or simply a picture of my pet :). Also keep in mind that creating fake accounts is against fb-policy. You do it on your own risk.

Anyways I wish you much success creating your feeder city.

It is available for Chrome, Microsoft Edge (IE), Firefox, Opera and Safari. My previous link was just a quick Google that pointed to the Firefox download. Here is the better link. Sorry. (Edited my previous link too)

I use a browser add-on called Reddit Enhancement Suite to do just that. Lets me add a tag of city names if I figure them out. That way I see the Reddit name and the SCBI city name next to comments. Gives a small link between the forum and the game in case I interact and/or run into people in-game.

I do not use nox however I would find a forum for them one on Reddit or this one from google search but no idea how effective it will be for you.

I would've expected it to be more of the "SOLD!" messages on the market after waiting like 45 seconds to travel. It's slow traveling in China.

Are you using a VPN? Astrill is good, and Lantern is free although limited. Android anyways. iOS, no idea. Give those a try, see if you connect better & faster.

Have you done the usual troubleshooting? You know, clear cache, delete game, power off/on, reinstall game.

I'm an Android user, and have Assistant for Android app on all my devices, which seems to solve a lot of glitchy problems. If you are iOS, maybe they have something similar.

Btw, my city name is from an awesome book called "Permutation City" by Greg Egan. If you like hard SCI-FI I highly recommend It https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FDWCPV2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_dfJCzb6GT5D20

Looks really good. I have to admit when you mentioned Neo Tokyo though all I could think of was this. I just hope Dr Vu doesn't get any ideas!

The best way to take and share views of any city, is capture a quick video of navigating it.

I used this app on android. Quick and easy.

For the I would like to play multiple SCBI cities on a single device section: For Android users wanting to run a feeder city on the same device as their primary city, Google Play has an app called Parallel Space

TBH, that's a pretty piss-poor excuse. You have seen all the screenshots posted in Reddit - what's the one thing they have in common? That should tell you right there how it's done. To make it easy for you:

"26928" gives no credence to the validity of your claims sans documentation.

I'm also Android, and have found this Android assistant app to be most helpful. It has made a world of difference in the smooth running of SCBI. It can be programmed to clear cache and boost at specific intervals.

An FYI for Android users wanting to run a feeder city on the same device as their primary city. Parallel Space is working well for me. It allows you to run another instance of SimCity BuildIt inside the app. You can easily switch back and forth between cities. You still have to add as friends inside BuildIt but a couple of Bogus Facebook accounts accomplishes that.

I have an app I've downloaded 'Assistant for Android' by which i schedule regular clearing of my device cache throughout the day. This seems to help a great deal. Plus the app has other features as well.

Maybe iOS has something similar as well.

Try http://www.memuplay.com/. Much better IMO than bluestacks. And I would get Parallel Space https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lbe.parallel.intl&hl=en. Basically what you do for Android is create 2 user accounts/users. One for your main city and another for your feeder. You will need a Gmail for each account. Run the tutorial for each user and about when you put up the town hall you can login to Google Play or Facebook. it does not take long to switch between users. A few seconds.

Yes, Discord is available as a mobile app for iOS and Android.

You raise good points, and I'm hoping that people will at least like that the option is available.
