Community ManagerA little block of flats was not happy, so out of curiosity I went to investigate.
They wanted a park, meanwhile the rest of the population was crying out for more police, fire, health and the other services. Unreal huh? 🤣
I can't afford to buy them a park after spending the best part of 10 million coins to try and sort out the mess caused by Services 2!
My capital and 2 regions are 100% happy. However I've another 3 regions that are bordering 20%. I have nothing left in the coffers and I refuse point blank to buy coins and my income tax earnings are still not a patch on what they used to be.
Services 2 has wrecked my city and my will to play. Yes I know there is a feedback thread specifically for Services 2 but on the evidence infront of me, nothing from any comments has been replied to by EA or has been addressed by the "studio". They have had plenty of time to do so but so far, nada.
Pretty much what I've been expecting but the disappointment is still real here 😞
This was my posting some days ago in an other thread.
It's great to see 100% satisfaction back in the capital city. But don't ignore your regions: while they don't pay takes directly, their satisfacti on level reflects on your overall tax rate! So, how much do you value your regionale builbings?
Here my strategy for handling the service 2.0 mess:
dare to demolish: Before the rollout I deliberately demolished some fully upgraded building in my regions. Why? To instantly loswerden service demand. You can always rebuild them step-by-step once your capacity allows it.
know your capacities: Check you service buildings. A fully upgraded house needs 30 to 50 units depending on the type. Do you math: How many builbings can your Power plant actually support?
the "regional tax": don't forgett that in regions, specify services (like Power in Frosty Fjords) Requieres 1 extra unit per building compared to the capital.
Radius Efficiency: Make sure that Fire, Police, Health, and regional services do not overlap. Double-couvering residential areas is a waste of resources that you'll need elsewhere.
Bottom line: Don't treat regions as an afterthought. Plan them as efficiently as your capital to Keeper your tax rate maxed out
Perhaps this could help you.
By the way, to save my simeolons i have put several omega parcs into my city which you can buy with 5 platin keys .
