Game is not for beginners!

[Ivo]

This game is not beginner friendly! Very hard to understand what to do! :(
I bought this game for relax, but I get the opposite. There are some games that annoy me after 10min of play and this is one of them.
I think, there should be some more detailed in-game tutorial. :/
I'm not against it, but I feel internally disappointed.

Imo the game is easy from the start. But I did watch a gameplay series before I bought the game.
I suggest don't start with everything unlocked first, the unlocking fases help you get through the financial struggles.

Check out ImperialJedi's tutorials at youtube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLB2MlqwGG_FmlE6XUc-QOD6SkciAziVIZ - those should be useful for you.

Also, playing with unlimited money is useful to get some idea how the gameplay works when doing it the first time around.

Get the city vitals mod, something like that should be in game

It is funny how some people complain that this is a "city painter" with no challenge, while other complain that it is too hard...

I think is the substance of the whole game... you may and have to invent your own target and gameplay 8)

You cant please everyone. I mean when the auto save function was introduced it was on by default, there were people complaining it crashed their games, and wished it to be off be default. So they did just that in next update. And guess what, other people complained why auto save wasnt on be default, and lost progress when the game crashed.

There are many guides in the Workshop which will not only help you get up to speed with the game, but will teach you how to play it well.
Here's one to get you started,

Thank you for your support! For exapmle, electricity and water thing at the beginning is quite confusing it's always not enough. Water pumps and drain pumps have no electricity, does it mean that I need to build a power plant near them or build powerlines, which I dont even know how to connect on both sides.

I explained this and how to do it in the tutorial above, try reading it ;)

I tried as written here, again, it's not enough electricity, something i do wrong! I put wind turbine by water pump and drain pump, but there is noth enough electricity for the city?!

Are you using the electricity pylons to link up the powered area at the turbine to the city buildings?
Please post a screenshot of what you have done with the power overlay on.

[MarkJohnson]

Water pipes have a zone of control of their own that supplies water to anything the shadowed area touches. I usually draw them as far apart as I can with only a tiny bit overlapping so there are no gaps.

You only need enough power line pylons to connect two different areas together. Then buildings will transfer to each other if they are connected or small gaps of a few tiny zone squares.

I just now realized that need to use pylons and those blue regions are power area.

Wind turbines also need to be in areas of high wind speeds so they produce as much power as possible. You can inspect wind from its info view (top left menu).

[DrunkMonk]

it does seem difficult at first, with the limited introduction, but any thorough walkthrough should give you the info you need.

Perhaps they don't get out much, or atleast pay attention to their surroundings.
