Design challenges now

Okay, this upgrade BS has gone too far!

Trying to finish a design challenge is nearly impossible now, every design coin you make goes on upgrades!! Then my buildings get abandoned.. I was off line 3hrs!!! Upgraded one service and it took all my simoliens instead of design coins so now I can't upgrade buildings to earn enough to finish laying nice roads etc etc.

Wtf are they doing?? I spent money which makes me even more upset because it got me nowhere so no more real money unless you make it worthwhile. 

I spent the past year building my city and had to demolish over half of it, you've made this game unaffordable, frustrating, depressing & pointless. This isn't fun any more & I might just quit if it doesn't go back to normal next season

  • I believe, today, it is possible to submit Design Challenge with total costs only 1350 design coins. 

    Note: Small Fire Station Lvl.1 has capacity 50 (health and police have more.) and some services are provided free at the beginning.

    GreenValley  home lvl.4 has demand 5 and population 356, so you just need to fit 10 of these homes , and you get total population 10x 356=3 560.  That population is sufficient to Submit the design challenge. 

    Costs:

    3x Deluxe Wind Power Plant lvl.1  = 3 x 200 = 600 coins

    1x Water Pumping Station lvl.1 = 750 coins 

    No service upgrades needed and total  costs  are 600+750=1350 design coins.

    I guess, I do not understand what is  your problem.

    As i designed the hyppe Lifestyle challange  I have build 4 frostfjord buildings and upgraded they to level 6. Therefore i spend around  11,5k design coins for the nessesscary services and earned for the 4 full upgraded  buildings around 4k which makes a expenditure on 7,5k. But i need more for replace too a nice road. So i scrapped the buildings and build they again but without expenditure but with earnings of 1k for each new upgraded building to level 6.
