Thanks for all your support guys! I would like to announce the grand opening of our 14th skyscaper located conveniently behind downtown where you can barely see it :) Also, as mentioned by Cilla we have passed the 5000 mark in population. We are also getting the most clicks we have ever gotten with 1500 clicks today.

Ace says we get our first skyscraper at around 12k population so if we go we like we are (about +700 pop a day) we will get that in 10 days.

I thought commercials can bring in skyscrapers. Either that, or I go back to adding pops to it.

The MyMiniCity FAQ has been updated with 2 new sections. These are WIP and are stubs for new sections that I am going to add to the FAQ.

MyMiniCity Dynamic Signatures and Banners

MyMiniCity FAQs: MyMiniCity Tutorials - One time free 200+ Clicks on your city - I am going to add a guide to the CreateMyCity forums which illustrates how to get all there member reward clicks and how to use their VIP Click exchange for members with 75+ posts. A basic guide to navigating that forum as it is a great resource but stuff is harder to find than it should be

Yesterday we did 1500

If you look at the Daily History Section you can see where I finally fixed my messup with French city and our city. We have a pretty big French city

http://thehelper.miniville.fr/

If I would have not messed up all that city would be in our city now.

That means we're not going to get as many clicks as last time?

No, that means that we are now getting the full force of my efforts at the real city. For a while there, I did not know I was accidently building the French City instead of our City. I made a mistake.

I never wanted a French City, I made it by mistake. Now I have fixed that mistake - we still have the French City (you can't delete them) but I am not going to do anything with it and everything should be all good.

OK, if we get our first Superskycraper at 12000 pop how comes these guys get theres at where we are about to pass them in the ranks - what the heck do they got that we dont. We are ahead of them in about everything except for population and we will be ahead of them there probably in a couple of hours.

It's all about the name of your city. This parameter acts as random seed for all the other parameters and how every population point is placed on the map, somewhat like a game of life.

Try some other names and you'll see that you're getting these supa-cool skyscrapers as early as 8000 population or even 6500.

Think of it as "luck". Or just take the system apart before you create your city.

That is some great inside info that I have not read anywhere else. I guess you can deduce that from the City thing Ace did. Cool info, I am going to add it to the FAQ - eventually.

What if? - or - The page that couldn't be

What would TheHelper Town look like if it had twice the population? (Bigger)
Half the transport? (Lacks streets)
Double shops? (Well, more shops...)
A decent name, like AceHart? :)P)
Your own name and (nearly) random values? (No idea)
No people? (Boring, what else...)

Find it out:
The Incredible City Simulator



The time it takes (yep, all on your comp, not here) depends mostly on population.
You may try with 5000000, but don't be surprised if you get a little warning...
I can't possibly be responsible for sudden heat problems, unexplained attraction to your neighbor's cat or similar, related topics.

The other values too, but much less.
Population is clearly the killer.

Suggestion:

In the ""The Helper Town" link above, right beside the User CP and in yellow, can there be links for the population, commercial, industry, transport, and environment?
 
General chit-chat
Help Users
  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air
  • The Helper The Helper:
    New dessert added to recipes Southern Pecan Praline Cake https://www.thehelper.net/threads/recipe-southern-pecan-praline-cake.193555/
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Another bot invasion 493 members online most of them bots that do not show up on stats
  • Varine Varine:
    I'm looking at a solid 378 guests, but 3 members. Of which two are me and VSNES. The third is unlisted, which makes me think its a ghost.

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
