Building the observatory to unlock fusion power.

[Lord KhaZimir]

Hi everyone,

In order to unlock fusion power, i started to build the special buildings needed. One of them, the observatory, requires 1000 buildings to be abandonned. Strange pre-requisite... but ok... So i thought i could save the game and cut my city from electricity and water until every cims left. They sure did ! And i unlocked the observatory ! But when i loaded my game again, the observatory was locked again. Do i really need to burn an entire city to the ground and re-build it again ?

I'm convinced i'm missing something

So comes my obvious question :

How do YOU build the observatory (no unlock all cheat mod) ?

Thanks for any constructive answer

To unlock these monuments that require destructive actions I plan to make a new city for just that. Quickly build it up with no regards to scenery or efficiency and then basically destroy it to unlock the specials.

That was my idea too. But if the monuments are locked again when i start a new city, what's the point ?

NB : I use no mods, only props and parks from the workshop

When I got the game I started a test save. Then when I started a more serious save the special buildings I had unlocked in the first save were still unlocked in my new save.

Hmmm... I left the game and loaded it again and now it seems the observatory is unlocked. There is probably a delay for the game to update unlocked buildings. Problem solved it seems. Anyway, thanks for the help asgersikker.

This is so very moronic!
Such a lazy way for the developers to create a 'challenge'
This is CO's version of the trash lizard or the UFO's etc.
All that brain power at CO and this is the best they could come up with? Sad :sad:

Any idea how to get more than 50% crime in the city ? I razed all police depts from a 30000 cims city and all i could get is 24% !

Another super lazy developer move here.
Come on guys at CO! You could have done so much better than this. Talk about just throwing in the towel. This is just sad :sad:

I've read that demolishing industry (making cims unemployed) also raises crime rate. Lack of education is also a factor but that takes a long time making an educated population uneducated.

It can happen a lot quicker if you "accidentally" get a bit of poo in the drinking water.
