Getting Started

User Interface
The UI in NewCity is minimal but deep. Most of the interface can be accessed with hotkeys, shown in a small box above the icon. The interface contains:
 * 1) City Name. Clicking on this allows you to change the city name and view the map seed.
 * 2) Date and Time. With each day that passes, the seasons change. The game starts in 1950.
 * 3) Population. This provides access to a variety of graphs about your city, achievements, and amenities effects. When this turns red, the city's population is decreasing.
 * 4) Budget. This provides access to a breakdown of the city's budget. You can change various taxes, mandatory spending, and your loan repayments. When your cash goes negative, this displays the maximum loanable amount.
 * 5) Weather. Shows the temperature and weather.
