Simcity Insiders look into glassbox
The next iteration of simcity is looking very promising indeed. There will be an Agent system, each person, car resource etc will be an agent, there will be up to tens of thousands of agents. Buildings like power stations will be fueled by resources like coal, you will be able to expand the power stations production by adding more generators. You will be able to see the coal stocks in the terminal and the conveyor taking the coal to be burned.
Same with fire stations plopping extra garages onto a fire station will increase the amount of available trucks in the station.
The effects and animations that you see on a building will translate into the simulation, smoke from the powerstation will be calculated into the simulation as pollution.
The devs are promising a 1:1 world, so cars should now have a destination and not disappear suddenly.
