* Please confirm / unconfirm if this is true, I'm using too many mods to judge reliablyД®ach cab will be assigned one passenger at a time. A lot of tourists seem to call for them at night. Taxis seem to be linked to the day/night cycle, picking up more passengers during the night than during the day*. A taxi can wait for customers indefinitely, it could technically be sitting at a stand and never have its shift ended.

If you do not have any despawn mods activated cabs can have extremely long shifts. Taxiwaves can and will cause congestion because each vehicle isn't scheduled like a bus or train to wait for the last one on a line to leave. Plopping too many depots at once in one location without other taxis already driving will cause what I'd call a Taxiwave.

It now takes a full 138 weeks for wind to become less expensive than coal.If there's enough demand for cabs, each depot will start spawning every available taxi. Decreasing the budget also makes it more worthwhile to keep your low construction cost sources for longer. While itвЂ™s never optimal to run a city on a low power budget, if you have built a new plant and are producing an abundance of power there is no reason not to turn it down and save some money. Interestingly this scales the speed at which lower upkeep sources outpace lower construction cost sources, so if your planning on using this strategy it might be worthwhile to build those windmills after all! This can make increasing the budget a feasible choice over purchasing a new plant outright if you are tight for money. Capital costs will be unaffected but upkeep and power production will change. Unfortunately by the time itвЂ™s unlocked your city is unlikely to have any major financial problems and there is no reason not to go for the cheapest candidates (solar or hydro).Дoes changing your budget affect which power sources to build? As it turns out yes. Nuclear looks to be the most efficient medium term investment for a mid game power source. If you can afford to spend 1/3 of your starting budget on power then coal will be a better early game investment than wind. In the early game available spending money is arguably more important than income and it will take a full 69 weeks before wind becomes a cheaper investment than coal. However this does not mean sources like coal should be completely disregarded. Over a long period of time the capital costs become irrelevant and the cheapest power source becomes those with the lowest cost/week/MW. The total cost per MW to maintain a power source over time is give by Cost= (Construction costs + Upkeep*time)/(Power Output). Since the upkeep costs of Hydro are fixed, in order to out perform solar power a Hydro Plant must produce at least 427 MW electricity. Hydro with itвЂ™s maximum possible efficiency of 1600MW comes in 2nd however this maximum efficiency will rarely be reached in practise. Fusion is once again the cheapest in terms of upkeep costs/week/MW. Over the long term upkeep costs will ideally be minimised. Hydro not included as it depends upon the size of the dam. In terms of capital (construction costs) per MW energy, Fusion comes in cheapest by a long way, followed by nuclear, oil, coal, solar, wind and the incineration plant.
