Directx

I need to know the exact directx needed to run a-tractor. Although I have directx 8.0, I still get the following message: ****Error Message**** Direct3D Create Failed. DirectX 8 and compatable video drivers are? My video drivers are compatible. If it turns out that directx 8 is what I need, then I'm...

Come to think about it, a government building which buys stuff isn't a good idea for the simple reason that if someone produces something which is useless and nobody wants, then they can still sell it. However, its has good points, such as pushing up transfer rates. If the gov buy building bought fo...

Its hard to see how hidden vehicles can help the longetivity of the islands. Also, its not that practical. Either its easy to see where they are (is that an island over there?) or its not, in which case the rich guys get the booty anyway. The "380 in stock not selling" thing isn't usually ...

Its part of the game mechanics. If you own the stuff, you can't stock it in your home, and you can't put it back into your building to prevent self-stocking. If nobody is buying fert, then you have to either discard it or stock it back into the building in another way.

JUST in case someone misses this:

I have Galaxy Full Install v0.1.26 (5.7Mb), and I have this problem. This means that v0.1.25 hasn't fixed it, or worse, that 0.1.26 will have this problem. I have windows ME.

There are some nice suggestions there Lugi I particularly like the town centre idea as it saves time cruising around looking for that elusive building...although I reckon the service should be free. I don't understand your gov idea. Since the gov (in your case) is there to meet the demands of the po...

Once the new version comes out I think I'll be making a "Noob's guide of how not to do it" As well as being helpful it would probably seem slightly sarcastic, but only because some people really are amazing at pushing the game to its limits. It will consist of Hints, Potential Problems and...

Yes, it is a certified way of making money...apart from the hundred or so people who also do this. However, you might have noticed that there are many people who use their first skill on a build skill, rather than a job skill. It might be risky, but for every person who goes bankrupt, theres always ...
