You need to manage your city’s resources carefully, if you want to see your Megapolis grow at a steady pace. It’s actually not that complicated!
All buildings need access to electricity and water. If you do not have enough of these two resources, you will not be able to build new buildings. To increase the amount of water and electricity available to your inhabitants, you need to build structures that produce them. You can find them in the Store under Resources.
Keep an eye on the indicators showing the amount of water and energy your city is consuming to keep track of them. These indicators can be found in the upper-right portion of the screen. The numbers show how many units of each of the resources are being produced and consumed in your city.
Some of the buildings require a certain population of citizens in your Megapolis before they can be built. You can increase the number of people that live in your city by building residential houses and hotels. Wait for an icon to pop up above the newly constructed residential building to register new inhabitants. Congratulations! Your city’s population has now increased!
The maximum number of people you can have in your city can be increased by building more infrastructure buildings, expanding your territory, and constructing other objects that boost population. The more of these objects you have, the more people will be able to move into your city. This also means that your city will become more popular!
