These free-to-play games has these trappings. If you want to stay on pace, invest some nanos in Advanced Coal Plants and build some more Steel Mills. At higher levels, population isn't so much of a problem if you manage your shops well.

This is also a social game, and the less expensive route is to ask folks who don't rely on their Steel Mills to allow you to occupy them. I'm getting an additional ~800 steel per 4 hours from 8 occupations. If I'm on the ball, that's another 2-3K steel each day.
