Even though the metro unlocks early, I haven't used it yet, since it seems real dumb to have a metro system in place before you have skyscrapers, and doubly dumb to have a metro before you even have trains. My cities are far from optimal.

Anyone tell me what causes a "too few services" thing to pop up over a building? I've got two neighbouring industrial buildings that both have it, but I've deployed all the services available so far, and everything seems to be running smoothly. Are they just after another park or something?

I built metro stations and liberally sprinkled bus stops near the area I wanted to upgrade - in addition to a few cheap police stations/fire stations. That did the trick basically.

I can't seem to get the first person mod to work. I've subscribed to both it and the HideUI mod, but neither of them function in-game.

I expanded to an island and started building a big urban center. Plopped a Police Station and bigass Fire Station in the middle of it, with good access to all areas. But when there's a fire they send fire engines from the mainland across a rapidly clogging highway (road planning, what's that?) and the building burns down almost every time.

I posted this yesterday but no one responded, so one more time for good measure: I created a dumb little 1x1 park and uploaded it, etc. but when I look at its icon in the park selection menu, it's just an untextured 3d model. I definitely created snapshots for it. Is that how it's supposed to work or did I do something wrong? Also, it was available/selected in my Content Manager last night, but when I started the game today it was gone from that menu and all the ones I placed had disappeared from my game. Anyone else seen something like that happen?

The game has tons of little problems like this. I'm pretty confident though that with Paradox's dad-like influence over CO they will be guided down the path of actually fixing their poo poo over the coming weeks/months.

Fajita Fiesta posted:Are there any tips and tricks for using the road tool? Finding it hard to make cool shapes. Make sure you've set it to the freeform road tool, and do tiny increments at a time. If you don't want wild curves, don't go more than a few units out. It works, I think, by kind of mapping A to B and looping the road as a curve between them. Also don't forget to hit page up and page down to gently caress with the heights!

Today I built some more stuff in the city. Lots of demand for industry and offices now, but I spent a good bit of time fixing the roundabouts and adding small touches for looks. The view over the Office Park neighborhood just beyond the re-designated Lower Jodhnagar downtown area is stunning in the spring.  Many people love to take the bus to its large park network just to see the lush greenery.  People can always get where they're going in the bustle of the Lower city.  A view from the new Upper Jodhnagar neighborhood puts this growing and highly developed town in perspective.  Seen from an aircraft, Jodhnagar is more than just the Upper and Lower cities and the Royal Way. Small towns feed the industry with workers and products such as lumber.

Another tip for roads is to use the curved road tool, even for straight lines, cause it kind of snaps straight out automatically.

Started watching the newest Paradox twitch vid and right away the host (A_spec ?) says something to the effect of: "Today we are going to make a stack interchange. I googled it last night and ended up on somethingawful.com where I found a thread where a civil engineer says a stack interchange is the poo poo". Anyway, this same guy has made the last few videos for their twitch. I'm finding them pretty helpful for getting up to speed in the game.

This is my city 9 hours into the game: Your Honor, the prosecution holds that Mayor Defacto has been criminally negligent and incompetent in his duties. The prosecution presents Exhibit A - the ugliest stack interchange ever built:  Exhibit B - the Eastside Highway, known to the locals as the "80s Arcade Racer Expressway":  Exhibit C - the Miniature Copy of Wilshire Boulevard:  The future prosperity of City Name is in your hands, Your Honor. Please remove Mayor Defacto from office before it is too late. (bonus shot of the clusterfucksection from before)

So I was building a separate section to my town (50%/50% housing/industrial  ) and while I wasn't looking some corpses started to pile up. A lot of corpses. Almost every house has a corpse in it. What do I do?

zedprime posted:I think the tooltip was left open ended because any service, anything that makes a building spew smiley faces, counts. So you could theoretically get the last bit by overcovering with extra existing services instead of it being you missed 1 service. You're probably right, but I think we could use a bit more info so that we don't end up spamming superfluous services in a guessing game. That or it should be toned down.

Baronjutter posted:I wonder if we'll ever get any district based architectural policies. CO hasn't added any style tags for buildings, so I don't think we'll ever see anything like that. I'd so love to be able to download a ton of nice buildings with correct stats from the workshop, all with a standardized list of architectural tags, and then control styles per district. So if you want an old-town district with only old architecture you got it and don't have to look at glassy sci-fi stuff. I really miss the ability to control styles from sc4, and now is absolutely the time to implement such a system and standardized system of tags for the modding community to use. Personally I would have thought when they add the 'European' buildings (which is quite nonspecific considering how varied European architecture is) they will add this.

I just spent well over an hour redoing the traffic system around my industrial area and my main intersection. When I started the game everything froze. Like the traffic stopped dead in its tracks and I couldn't pause/create stuff/speed up etc. It recognised my inputs and showed button highlights, but nothing happened in the simulation. I tried saving to reload but of course the save was corrupted
