SimCity 3000 hints

                        Seaports: Go Deep

When planning a seaport, be sure to place it near deep water. If
the water is too shallow, ships won't be able to travel through
the waterways to reach your port.

Best Power Plants

When starting a city in 1900, your best choice is a toss-up
between Coal and Oil. Coal is much more efficient, but also
pollutes the most. Later on, Nuclear plants are a good choice as
long as you don't overwork them. They're also much cheaper
and more efficient than Solar or Microwave power plants. Use
Fusion power as soon as it's available and you have the
necessary funds; although not as cheap as Coal and Gas
power, it produces very little pollution.


Beware the Toxic Waste Disposal Factory

Be sure you know what you're getting into if you're ever tempted
to build the Toxic Waste Disposal Factory. No matter what you
do, it will pollute your water system. Your population will drop
and you will get many complaints, regardless of how far away
you build it. It may be a good source of money, but the side
effects can damage both young and old cities.
