Hello from our team! We see lots of similar questions in our community from you, so we’ve decided to answer the most popular.
This is a compilation of answers from game designers, engineers, producers, support team and me, community manager đ Hope you’ll enjoy it!
1. Why canât we place some business or production buildings next to each other?
Hereâs a little story: some years ago (even when the game wasnât released on Facebook) we had such an opportunity. Building numbers were limited by the way. But later we noticed that all the cities looked similar, and this was not what we wanted playersâ cities to be. So, several years ago we decided to change the number limit to area limit, so some identical buildings canât be put together, but the limit is still the same.
See what we did there? đ Limits are the same, but cities started to look different!
Anyway, as long as we started to receive complaints about it, weâve started to think how we can keep the buildings limit (cause it affects the game balance, yep, game balance again) + keep all the huge number of buildings players already have and not cut this number + meet players half-way and make some frequently asked changes.
So, good news, everyone đ We plan to release the Upgrades: a new feature you can upgrade more than a dozen types of buildings with, get benefits and (hooray!) place these upgraded buildings next to each other! Of course there will be some limitations and requirements, but itâs definitely worth it. We hope youâll like it đ
2. Do you plan to add a confirmation button for Superbucks spending?
No, our team isnât going to implement a confirmation button. SuperCity Mobile is developed by another team, and we have different angles of development.
3. Why are there random quests all the time recently? Will there be task chains soon again?
The main reason why weâve decided to develop random quests is playersâ levels. Let us make it clear: thereâs only one way to balance a chain and lots of different players at different levels, so a chain may be too easy for high levels and too difficult for low levels. Thatâs why weâve decided to create random quests: they adapt to a playerâs level!
Why donât we make different chains for different levels? We just donât have such resources. Our team is not hundreds of people, so we really have to manage our time. It means we need to find different solutions both to make regular updates and new features we want to diversify our game with, and random quests is one of them. Have you noticed we started to implement some new game mechanics and features recently? đ
Anyway, we are open to your suggestions, and we really listen to you. So, good news, task chain lovers: weâre discussing an opportunity to add more task chains in the game. Random quests will stay in the game, but we could mix them with task chains đ
4. Why does my game freeze and lag? Iâve done all the recommendations, but the Support Team keeps telling me the issue is on my side.
Sometimes the game may be slow due to high server loading, but most of all it depends on a playerâs computer. âSuperCityâ has very detailed graphics, and it requires specific system performance.
Hereâs a short list of system requirements for running âSuperCityâ smooth. If youâre not into this technical stuff, ask a computer master to check your device:
Minimum requirements:
– 2 GHz processor,
– 4 Gb RAM,
– GPU with Stage 3D support.
Recommended requirements (perfect game performance guaranteed):
– 3 GHz processor,
– 16 Gb RAM,
– GPU with Stage 3D support.
5. Why canât we place all the buildings in any locations? Why do they have these âeverywhere except the Snow Plateauâ restrictions?
Generally it depends on buildingâs or decorâs specifics: for example, Snow Tower wonât fit in the Sands.
Anyway, if you think some decorations or buildings would look well in other locations, please tell us about it in the âSuggestion Boxâ discussion: weâre ready to make changes if they play well with our development vision đ
6. Why can we have 7 Casinos only?
Seven Casinos is the best possible number of Casinos we can offer due to the game balance. Players could receive more than 7 before we announced this limit, but all the rest were stored anyway, cause Casinos have the limited area to place. We donât plan to increase this limit.
7. When is the Harbour coming?
Our team was discussing for a long time what the Harbour might look like because weâve already had 4 locations for 4 seasons (the Snow Plateau for winter, the Enchanted Valley for spring, the Sands for summer and the Highland for autumn). For a long time we had no idea what the Harbour might be created for, what idea might be the âbaseâ for it, it seemed to be an outsider.
We have an idea now, and weâre discussing and working on it, and hereâs an important thing: we canât say this location will be the same location as we opened before, but we promise it will be good đ
8. When are we getting more land and not just a few little plots?
We havenât decided it yet. As soon as we have a finished version of new expansions, weâll let you know at our Facebook Page.
9. Will you make a better way for us to let players know what we want clicked on? Some of my friends donât speak my language.
Yes, we see complaints about this and we plan to implement some markers or indicators to the building youâd like to be sped up.
As weâve already said, our team is limited in employees, so we always have to choose features and updates to develop, but this feature is being discussed now!
10. Why do we have the 5 click per day rule for speed-ups, that doesn’t work for us that work a real job? Why we can help our friends just once a day?
Itâs the same old song, but itâs done like that because of the game balance. Itâs an important thing to maintain cause if there was no balance, any game would be either too easy or too difficult for different players.
11. Will you put more items in the shop for us older players as we already have everything?
Same as the question #9: yes, weâve decided to make new regular residences and decorations for the shop!
We appreciate your ideas, but we need to repeat that we canât tell when EXACTLY new buildings and decorations will be added to the shop. Anyway, weâve already started to plan their production, so stay tuned for the news in the community at the Facebook Page đ

is there a limit to how many friends you can have?
Recommended to keep it within your own manageable limit and keep those friends who are helpful and responsive. It’s the quality that counts, not the total number of friends.
