Battery charge too slowly

[OKOK]

What effect this charge rate.

Hardly can fill in a shield generator.

Battery charge time depends on your power surplus, if you can get your power surplus high enough you can have a single battery station pumping out over 100 a day.

Do not build more than one single battery charger, if you build multiple you split the surplus between them so you gain nothing but lose workers.

i was wandering about building multiple chargers... is that per cliff or just research the cable network?

[mudofNYnumber1]

I didn't realize they split the surplus like that. Here I've been wasting jobs and needing to build more maintenance docks when I could have only had one or two of these.

Seriously i have so many solar power and i cannot even survive the night without going flat. This game have a horrible power balance.

The other issue is the credit income.
Why the hell my city cannot share cost right at the beginning.
Why income is so hard to come by,
the bigger the city the more ♥♥♥♥ low the income goes.
Why office need so many workers and make little credit.
Why solar need so many workers
Why wind power need so many workers.

Why entertainment need so many workers. Everything is overloaded and eat people like crazy.

All this increase crazy demand which cannot be fulfilled. Very poorly balanced game.
Horrible !!!

Research is so slow . Even an stupid dodo bird work faster then them.
By the time i finish Second research and it the 25 wave.
Why the lab need so much power anyway. Can hard balance basic needs and this stupid lab just bring the power into overload.

Why night time they dont know how to off their lights. They all go to bed without turn off their power. Why day consumption and night is the same?

Ok finish complaining. Very angry.
After i finish one round i just going to uninstall this dodo bird game.

... lol.

All the problems listed can be countered by player action. If the player refuses to take that action, is it the game's fault that it is acting like a dodo? Or the player?

Slow research? Build more research facilities. Offices not making money? Do advertising. Need more people? Build more housing. Need more reliable power? Wind, more Solar or go Nuclear.

All these have solutions. It all depends on if you are a complainer or a problem solver. Problem solvers solve their problems. Complainers come on steam to complain about them not bothering to fix their own problems and uninstall. lol.

Each cliff has a stand alone power grid so you need one charger per cliff to absorb the excess power or it goes to waste. The power grid shares *batteries* not power, big difference. Though it is possible to build a mega power cliff and use that to power all the rest. Think jdtuggey does something like that for his games. It is an innovative idea but since I usually aim for 1800 pop for tourist income per cliff, I can't do the same. Different goals.

@Mistfox what u say is true for other game mode. But tower defend is a race against time.

Show me a successful picture of ur cliffs. I want to copy

This was an old screenshot when I was arguing with jdtuggry about the coast maps. It's not complete yet since I still had to build the Grand Hotels for tourists.

Tower Defence mode is totally different. I'll run through it once to see if it is as bad as you say. One thing I do know though, if you went for a shield generator early game, you messed up. It is much better to lose a few cheap turrets than to crash your entire power grid trying to feed a power hungry shield generator. Sacrifice some turrets instead.
