I did not spend a single city credit on it.

The city credits are too valuable to me. Hard to come by, unless you pay for them (which I refuse). Some things can only be bought with city credits, so I need them. Have bought an extra terminal, the bakery and then fat-fingered on land and upgrades. That is it.

The gold coins on the other side - I can gather 2 million in 2-3 days with my factories. So it has no real value as such.

Sweet glad I won't need to spend city credits on port. I tell you though there is no way I could have finished the bridge without spending it. The one that gets me is the business cards which take 4-8 days alone. I got 1 for short daily task and none for the second. And then another 1-2 days for the silver medals that you can't get ahead if time. Another 2-3 days for the 1000 energy. Then of course all the other elements that I was not prepared for but I guess someone gotta be the scape goat lol :)

Oh yeah - the bridge is a killer.

Task 1 should not take more than 5-6 hours, I would assume.
Task 2 we can jump right through, knowing what is needed - so preparation takes that one.
Task 3 will take round 3 days. So now we total 3-3,5 days.
Task 4 - another killer. 4-8 days - so we are now at 8-12 days.
Task 5 - at least 2 days -making it 10-14 days. Can hardly be done without spending credit.

So, blueprint costs 80 credit and you get 10 to finish in 10 days. Anything above 90 spent seems to be waste.

How much did you pay for business cards? Wat else did you spend credit on?

Yes, finished it and got the safe. When done, there was a safe on top of the port - where the yellow hard has used to be.
I clicked, and got what I needed.

Also, I got the Port Manager achievement for building the port. So, now I am at 87 credits. Can see that we can get credits by filling the ship - though, with what I have to load this time, I stand no chance. Seems I need to throw out some of the low end factories and get some more high end ones.

I sent a ticket to GI about it. I did not have a hard hat at the completion to the best of my knowledge. I will see if I can send you stuff now. I also need to get the high end plants but it won't be quick. I need to get money for the garage first (700k).

I cannot give you anything at this moment. You must be out on the trip. What do you need so I can give you something for the next trip?

Yeah - it is quite weird, I can also not get to yours - I have 4 buckwheats waiting for you for 6 hours.

I am gathering stuff now - basically need:
-ore
-varnish
-soap

Can only produce varnish myself.

Just, stupidly, bought the radio factory. Under the icon "contracts", it looked pretty great. Cables, 9 trucks for 30 minutes. Does not seem to need any raw material (other factories, they list the raw materials there).

To speed it up, I spent my last 8 medals on a big hammer (which also finished a plot as well as my admin building).
But - now I need a lab assistant. So, upgrading my college now, to train her.
Now, as per Wiki, it seems I need aluminium to produce cables - and I do not have the mine. So, I cannot even put it in storage, untill I get the lab assistant trained. That is annoying - and now I have to go for a mine as well, with lots of upgrades.
Instead of just going for cosmetics and furniture......

Guess we have to fill our warehouses with heavy stuff, to be able to fill containers. Seems friends are only allowed to fill 4 containers, so the rest we have to do ourselves. Will be fun to see a full load once.

I got the mine at level 2 but to no use because I don't have the trucks. Will upgrade the garage first, then buy 4 trucks, then upgrade to level 5 the mine. Then go after the cosmetic plant and all the upgrades. Do you need any workers for the cosmetics, will have train them too. I should be done by June. I will keep checking on giving you container stuff.

Try goin offline for a couple of hours. Might help.

After that, you will need to have 10 milkshakes. I had them in stock. Maybe somehing more - but whatever it was, I passed it.

Good luck. Must admit I feel good now.

Thanks for the heads up on the milk shakes - that's a walk in the park because I have tons of bananas in stock.

Thanks for sharing all the info mate... It sounds like an enormous challenge.
 
I sent a ticket regarding the ridiculous tasks for the bridge, port, plant, etc. it is near impossible to complete these in the allotted time. And you end up spending a ton of credits to realize you still can't complete. Such a rip off!!! How the hell am I supposed to find players under level 11 and have 1MM?????

city name: normal town. name: nickeli
