so what do I use to create something that will give me mega-cap relief? My farm cap is sitting at 100% and I still have 160 sq km to grow.

Thats not enough farms. $%Grinno$%
RippleJet's Census Repository gives 20,000 (?) Cap Relief. This amount is set in the building exemplar, and by all means, could be much larger for a plop that you make.
Making neighbor connections also gives cap relief, though each additional connection creates less. My memory of the strategy guide (which was awesome pre-deluxe days) has me thinking that each different city that is connected to starts the the diminishing returns again:
A road connection from city A to city B provides 10,000 relief. The next connection provides, say 5,000 and the next 2,500. However, at this point if you were to connect city A to city C, this would provide 10,000 cap relief. SimNation is always the same city, so it's best to become mayor of all of the surrounding cities too.
(man I wish I had that guide, ordered it on Amazon for $5, but it never came. Everything in there is pretty obsolete, but still... That guide was with me though some rough mid teens to mid 20s)
I started fiddling around with Ilives reader (hello hex... long time no see)... modified the cap hit in the census repository (that took some digging and the tutorial really helped), and I think it worked? One tile is saying the cap hit is 100%, but this tile has mixed res/com/industrial... while another tile loaded with farms is stating 0%. So... I guess now I have to run a tile to see if it worked.
I thought cap was a per tile thing.
it is - I tried another tile and viola... cap issue gone. I upped it to about 3.2m with the census repository... ;D Only thing is I forgot to set affinity to 1 core and I got a CTD when attempting to overview all my new farms :angrymore: And yes... I've done ample testing and I'm 99.9% sure thats the issue.

The Census Repository
Vault gives an IR CAP relief of 30,000. ;)

Just for the record, I assume
this (http://sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=11217.0) is the tutorial you're referring to? :)

Yep thats the one - it helped considerably once I figured out ilives again (I hadnt used it in about 3-4 years... heh, its changed a bit)
