There are a total of nine varieties of power plants in SimCity , including coal, oil, natural gas, nuclear, wind turbines, hydroelectric dams which can only be placed on waterfall tiles , solar and the futuristic fusion power and satellite microwave plant. Most types of power plants have a limited life span and must be rebuilt periodically. Players can build highways to neighboring cities to increase trade and the population. The budget and finance controls are also much more elaborate—tax rates can be set individually for residential, commercial and industrial zones.

The ratio of Residential zones to Industrial to Commercial zones is about In other words, for every five tiles of residential zone, you will want to have three tiles of industrial area, and one tile of commercial area.
You can also monitor the Sims' demand for a certain type of zone by watching the RCI indicator:. Shown at right, the RCI Indicator lets you know which zones are in demand. A bar that is above the words 'RCI' indicates a need for that zone; a bar below indicates an excess - you have too much of that zone!
Power to the Masses! Next, in order for your city to begin to grow, you will need to purchase and place a power plant and power lines. To do this, click the button and select 'Power Plant.
Place the plant on the outskirts of town preferably in an industrial area so that its generated pollution doesn't reach much of the city. Next, click the button again and select 'Power Lines. These lines must reach every part of your city, but need only touch part of a zone for that entire zone to be powered. Now, set the simulator to full speed and watch your city grow!
SimCity was a major extension of the concept; the view was now dimetric instead of overhead, land could have different elevations, and underground layers were introduced for water pipes and subways. New types of facilities include prisons, schools, libraries, museums, marinas, hospitals and arcologies.
Players can build highways, roads, bus depots, railway tracks, subways, train depots and zone land for seaports and airports. There are a total of nine varieties of power plants in SimCity , including coal, oil, natural gas, nuclear, wind turbines, hydroelectric dams which can only be placed on waterfall tiles , solar and the futuristic fusion power and satellite microwave plant.
Most types of power plants have a limited life span and must be rebuilt periodically. Players can build highways to neighboring cities to increase trade and the population.
The budget and finance controls are also much more elaborate—tax rates can be set individually for residential, commercial and industrial zones. Enacting city ordinances and connecting to neighboring cities became possible. The budget controls are very important in running the city effectively.
Another new addition in SimCity is the query tool. Using the query tool on tiles reveals information such as structure name and type, altitude, and land value. Certain tiles also display additional information; power plants, for example, display the percentage of power being consumed when queried, and querying roads displays the amount of traffic on that tile.
