Can't get a loan.

[Dr.Dino]

So my city won't grow because my sewer system is not powered. But to power it, I require power lines, which cost money, which I don't have. So it's just a spiral defecit and the loan panel is greyed out. So i'm stuck. Any advise?

I have the same problem

start smaller, the game force you to use smal roads on the beginning. plan a smal residencial smal industrie and maybe plan the water and electricitie first. when cash is flowing and it is stable upgrade the roads that lead into the city asap. (that's my strategy)

start again, I normally start with 3, 2x1 blocks or reisdential, a few zones of commercial, and 2 2x1 blocks of industry. You get access to the first tier of loans at 400 population.

Protip: If your budget goes below -10.000, you'll get a one time bailout that puts you back into the positives.

As big pro tip dont build powerplant 1 wind turbine is more then enoug for first 20minutes and saves you lots money early on

if you still struggle with money rise tax by 3% on everything once you get it , i ran my city on that for long and no problems ever risen , abandoned buildings happen like 1 every 30 minutes in 60.000 people town

If you take the bailout, you can't get achievements.

It's fine now, my city is 110k with 4mil in the bank.

[Dr.Dino]

But yeah, if that happens pretty much just restart.
