Do the unique buildings actually have any perks other than increasing land value and unlocking the monuments?

Finally finished the Oasis map. I playtested it a bit to make sure everything works well and it looks good to me, water flow works great, there's train and plane connections and there's plenty of oil deposits for anyone wishing to live out their middle eastern oil baron fantasies. I added both the map and lookup table to Steam Workshop.  Here's a gif of it in action. Here's the map called Dunes Oasis. And here's the color correction called Desert! color correction. Works well on any Tropical map. Hope you like!

Anyone know if the size selector on http://terrain.party/ is for that giant blue square, or the actual squares representing the game region? And if I want a map to scale, would I set that to 25km, or 50km (since the in game squares are 2kmx2km)?

So uh, I'm definitely not capable of making the incredible mods that are already creeping up on the workshop, but I do want to link the one I just finished. All it does is add a button to access the City Statistics graph to the main UI. It was annoying me that it was socked away in the main menu with load/save/options/etc. I can't help but imagine that I'm not the only one who is totally appaled by this horrific, terrible, extremely minor inconvenience, so here you go: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=408613485 There's a bug right now where closing the graph won't unpause your game, but it doesn't hurt anything. I'm going to look into it tomorrow. (There's also the chance the button may not look right on 16:10 resolutions. That's a bigger nuisance I need to solve.) In other news:  It's one-way you don't need a red light I swear

I don't know why you would want 25 or 50.

Noyemi K posted:I've started a city on the MARS map. And it rocks! The city and the map, that is I'm going to experiment with a combination of the "busway" concept (using the workshop pieces you made) with the "industrial coffee filter" design concept I found SimNation. I feel like their power combined could really help compartmentalize traffic. If it works out pretty well, I'll post up some pictures.

An entire CSL map is 9x9 squares each 2x2 km, but only the middle 5x5 squares are buildable while the surrounding 2 squares on each side function as "distant terrain". The selector on terrain.party should also show you an overlay of the actually buildable 5x5 squares as part of the selection box. After getting the heightmap data from terrain.party you'll still have to load it into a new map in the game and fill it with water, trees, outside connections, and industry resources.

Are parked cars on roads actually parked? They vanish when you upgrade the road to a grass/tree variant. I'm not using any parking lot 'parks' so i'm wondering where do CIMS park when all roads get upgraded? High density urban streets are jam packed with cars (which looks awesome btw, sorta like NYC!) , if you upgrade them, do they park in make believe basement parking or?

As far as I can tell the point of fused grids is just to make sure nobody drives down a little neighbourhood street just to get somewhere else. Make the squares so people can walk across them anywhere, but cars mostly stick to the outsides. I'm sure someone here can explain it better though.

I really wish this parks/commerce relationship thing was fixed. The expo center and Shadow the Hedgehog Memorial Stadium should be surrounded by touristy traps, not executive finance suites

I think I am going to have to bulldoze over half my industry and move it to a new square. I clogged up my traffic by having it grow organically around my highway system. It won't likely help the downtown commercial traffic, but at least my highway and northern streets won't be slammed. Is there a mod that fixes the parks/commercial bug, besides the max desire mod? Bulldozing all my parks and rebuilding doesn't sound like fun. Also, does bridge height affect boat traffic? I just realized the bridges I build seem really low, but if the boats just clip through, then it shouldn't matter. Not that I saw any boats passing through there anyway. They would always bust a u turn before the bridges were even built.

Any fix for the lack of commercial demand? I made a new map and started a new city and I have a fraction of the commercial zoning my old city had, yet a similar population size and zero demand. Is this a bug? Anyways, I made an atoll map, let me know if I should put it up on the workshop.

I'm going to assume the C demand is a bug because it doesn't make sense otherwise. Parks shouldn't have anything to do with it, except possibly increase demand since parks also attract tourists sometimes. Destroying parks to fix it is dumb an I have kind of been sitting on my city as a result while I wait for a fix. Though I should be able to fix my industry traffic without breaking things. I hope CO fixes it soon. Have they acknowledged it on reddit or Twitter?

 So the dam I built on Two Rivers is too dammy, drying up and riverbed and causing most of my water pumps to suck up nothing but sand and backsliding sewage. Is there anyway to open up the dam at all and get running water again, or am I going to have to delete this one and dam up the entire 'mouth' of the rivers to get enough pressure?

The Muffinlord posted:Is there any way to fix this? I can't use either harbor as a result. The red dotted line points to a shipping lane that the boats have to use, it can't connect to the route since the shipping lane is blocked by a big land mass. You'll have to put your harbour on water on the other side of that land mass, in a position where the red line doesn't have to go through any land to get to the yellow lines.

So I can only put my ports on the other side of the river? They're not just going to recreate Metal Gear Solid 2 every time they depart, right? EDIT: I should clarify that the shipping lane ends right there. Right in the center of my city.

CO seriously should buy out some of these mods and incorporate them into the base game. Ciaphas posted:Can someone explain this fused grid business like I was a slow stupid child, because wikipedia is making me feel like aforesaid Basically, it's a street design meant to get some of the traffic flow benefits of suburbia (cul-de-sacs and branching streets with low traffic, with the main roads used for point A to point B travel), while still being about as walkable as a strict grid.

I've never uploaded anything to the steam workshop before, how does the publish function work from inside Cities: Skylines? Whenever I click publish on my map, it ends up uploading what looks like a blank, nameless file when I look at it in my steam workshop files.

Harmonica posted:Has anyone found any working locations with height maps in the UK? Or any method for obtaining good maps other than this? There's a method I know people use for Farming Simulator but I doubt it produces as smooth heightmaps. I tried making a heightmap of Glasgow using the Ordinance Survey Terrain50 data, but couldn't find a way to convert the .asc files to a png of the right size without losing the resolution down to 8-bit, which just created a ghastly mess I couldn't summon the effort to fix.

Here is a question. I have an industry area north of my city with a cargo train station and another industry to the east also with a cargo station. Now each of the industries export their goods to the nearest station but all the imports seem to be arriving at the north one. Is there any way to stop this or am I not understand this right?

FYI, I think the filename on the color correction might not be what you want. Looks like it's called Test_04_Bleach in the dropdown. Awesome work, though. It looks great! edit: I also had some fun with one of your other color corrections:  All that remained were advertisements and despair.

TheOrange posted:I've been liking this game a lot so far, but seeing some of the stuff from mods has really blown me away, I can't imagine what this thing will look like in a year between mods and DLC. Make all the connecting roads in between your districts that are not highway (ie. the bridges between west city and south core) another district with the policy no heavy traffic. Just use the small brush and draw on the road over the bridge and add a bit on the ends to make sure they understand. Voila, majority industry vehicles which cause traffic will take the highways and the high flowing ramps.
