Skyscraper City Tips, Cheats and Strategy Guide – Max Gold and Energy

If you are having problems while playing Skyscraper City, and you are unable to fulfill the desired tasks (i.e. creating taller buildings, earning money, attracting citizens etc.), definitely you are a worried man! However, don’t feel to burden with that, because here is the simplest guide that will let you walk through all the issues you have faced.

So let’s start our journey from the very basics. The first thing you got to be aware of, is your status (i.e. name of the city, current level, population meter, happiness meter, power meter, energy meter, gold and skybox balance).

You can check all these details at the top of the screen. Then if you look at the bottom of the screen you will find several buttons (build button, inventory button, manage button, and zoom in and out option) that you will be using quite regularly as you will move further.

Now shift your attentions to the right side of the screen, where you will find a gift button which will allow you exchange gifts with your friends, and on the same side of the screen you will find the toggles for music and sound.

So far so good, but if you’re unable to comprehend with some of the terms used earlier, then here is a key for you:

Population meter: The population meter is the equivalent of experience in Skyscraper City. Filling up the meter will allow you to level up. You will need to balance your population meter with the happiness meter.

Happiness meter: The happiness meter shows how happy your residents are. Every new resident that comes to your city will decrease your happiness meter. When your meter gets too low you will be unable to gain new residents. However, residents added through quest completion will still be added and can send your happiness meter into the negatives. To increase your happiness meter you will need to purchase decorations.

Power meter: The power meter shows how much power is available to your city. Every building in your city takes a certain amount of power to run. To increase your available power you will need to build additional power plants.

Energy meter: Your energy meter shows you how much energy is available to you. You will need energy to build new buildings and to remove slums from your city.

Gold: Gold is the currency of Skyscraper City. Gold can be earned by completing quests and collecting from your commercial buildings. When gold is ready to be collected there will be a gold icon above the building.

Skybux: Skybux is the premium currency in Skyscraper City. You can use skybux to skip quests and to buy premium items. Skybux can be purchased using Facebook credits. You also earn one skybux each time you level up.

Build button: The build button is where you can use the build menu. See the section on building your city for more information.

Slums: Slums will pop up in your town when you are away from the game. They take up space and harbor monsters that can wreak havoc on your town. The longer you are away from the game, the more slums will appear. If you are gone too long, you may return to skyscrapers of slums that will need to be removed.

Monsters: When you are removing slums from your city, sometimes monsters will appear that will prevent you from collecting gold or residents from your buildings. Click on the monster to fight them. The number of times you will need to attack them will vary, but eventually you will win and they will disappear from your city.

How To Build Your City

Obviously we can generalize the buildings in two categories, that is commercial buildings and the residential constructions. Both the types can be decorated by you, to give your city a unique outlook.

Residential Block
The construction and the development of the residential area will enhance the number of residents, and this will increase your population stats (a tiny house will earn you 10 residents every three minutes, while the studio apartments will earn you 800 residents every eight hours).

Once the building has been built, you will see an icon of a person above the building which will show that the building is ready to be taken over.

For constructing a residential building, click on the build button, open the residential tab by clicking upon it. Then select the sort of residential building you want to build, either a tiny house or studio apartments, and then click on the purchase button which will take you directly to the city map.

Locate the site where you want the construction to be done and then click the check mark to confirm the placement. Once you have done the planning; now it’s time to build your building. Click on it to build the building. Each building requires a certain number of clicks.

After you are done with the building business, you will have to complete the building by adding several articles according to the type of residential building.

You will need several items to complete the building. Most of these items can be found by removing slums from your city, building new buildings, and fighting monsters. You can also request them from friends. Following the completion step, click on the building to collect when it’s ready. To collect residents from a building you will need enough happiness.

Each resident will decrease your city’s happiness by one point. If you do not have enough happiness in your happiness meter you will not be able to collect your residents to increase your population (meaning it will take you longer to level up).To increase your happiness you will need to purchase decorations.

Commercial Buildings
You can earn lots of gold coins if you construct a commercial building. You need to follow more or less the same steps, which you took while building a residential apartment. Once the building is complete it will earn gold over time.

For instance the Barstucks will earn 100 gold every five minutes while the Ieka will earn 800 gold every two hours. Placing decorations nearby will provide bonuses to your cash flow.

Building Skyscrapers
Once you have occupied most of the earth, now it’s your turn to move skywards. In the start you will only be allowed to build a story or two, but as you progress through the game, you will be able to go huge.

To build on top of another building, select the building you wish to build and click on top of the building you wish to expand.

After that, simply build the building just like you did before. Each additional level of a skyscraper will gain a bonus, providing you with extra residents or gold depending on the type of building.
