Energy
By far the most expensive resource in Cityville is energy, but it is also the most difficult to get. The most common and easiest way to get energy is by simply waiting for the clock to tick by for 5 minutes. This is great is you enjoy waiting a full 5 minutes every time you want to do something in Cityville but for serious players it is simply not enough. Here are some other ways you can boost your energy bar.
Batteries: The fastest way to replenish your energy is through the use of batteries. Batteries are either sent to you by friends and neighbors or you can buy them yourself from the build menu. Click "build" and then click the lightning bolt to access the battery store. Here you can purchase 3, 7 or 12 energy points. Unfortunately it is going to cost you City Cash which is very valuable in itself.
Send Gifts: Another way to produce energy is to give some to other people. While gifting energy doesn't actually benefit you personally it may persuade your neighbors to return the favour to you when you are in need. As with many other Facebook social games building
friendships with others can end up being very profitable for the both of you, and you will need it to succeed in Cityville.
Visiting Neighbors: Helping out your friends isn't always without immediate reward in Cityville. Simply visiting a one of your neighbors will provide you with 3 energy points immediately that can be used when you return home. Not only that but you can receive many other
goodies while helping out your friends so remember to use this method often as it is my go to method when I run out of energy.
Going About Your Regular Tasks: You can even find energy doing your regular tasks. Collecting from properties, chopping trees, planting crops etc. will all randomly earn you bonus energy in the form of lightning bolts. Over time these can really add up and you'll be surprised at how this can really prolong your energy.
Collections: Collections are a great way to gain new energy. Although sometimes hard to get especially when in a jam they can give you a nice boost when you collect a whole set. They can be found randomly when collecting from your businesses and if you collect a whole set the reward proves worth the effort. Using friends to get you specific items in a set can help speed things up a bit. Add an item to your wish list when you are in need of energy and if you have generous friends they should be able to help you fulfil your energy needs.
