Since there is no change in prices you would be buying and selling at the same price (no gain). A trade specialization by itself buys resources at low prices and sells at high prices. The trade specialization won't work anymore because the prices never change.

That's basically how it is in offline mode. I'd be grateful if anyone could enlighten me.Īt the launch of SimCity the global market didn't work and there was a set price for everything (oil, coal, processors, etc. Unless you're making a wonder that requires certain materials, are "oil cities" obsolete? Or "mining cities"? I fiddled only a bit but it seems to rake 0$ profit since, well, there's no global market. I'm curious about one thing that I haven't putted much time on so far and hoping someone has the answer to save me the troubles They should be able to lift the region cap in offline mode. You can only have 10 region in offline mode, because they haven't patched in unlimited regions. I played offline mode on the first day and it worked without any issues. I also have a few questions to ask: I think on the blog post about offline mode it said the regions are stored on your computer, well where are they? And why can I only have 10 regions like the online mode? I think offline mode should have unlimited save spaces for regions if they're being stored on your own computer. I can't open it unless I restart it every time if I minimize it or click on the X and the only way to completely close it to reopen it is through the task manager.)Īnd all that happened in one day of playing SimCity offline. (Not to mention that Origin itself is buggy. I finally had to restart Origin to get that error to go away.

I hit the "Single-Player Mode" button and the whole game restarted.

Does it still use cloud storage or something? (can I turn that off?)Īnother thing I seen was I had an error saying I needed to be online while loading a city in the "Single-Player Mode." It gave me two options: Single-Player Mode or Quit. If I'm completely offline and start it up the play button is there from the start (with no wait).Īlso I was playing one city while I was online but was in "Single-Player Mode." I stopped playing, lost internet connection by the time I started playing again and my city was gone! I started the game again later with it connected and the game reappeared. One problem I had was that if you're connected to the internet and origin is online it tries to search for updates even if it says "Single-Player Mode" and the play button won't appear until it's done. I tried offline mode and I found it to be buggy (which is probably understandable to a point) and I got frustrated trying to get it to work correctly.
