Anyone know if its possible to modify the rate of garbage output for a building, or the "multiplier" for residences/job-spots when a building upgrades? How many residences can a bigass tower hold IRL anyways in terms of condos?

Nah it's something about the way Skylines imports stuff, seems to be unit-agnostic. Anyway, I export it all as fbx, and the supported maps are diffuse, normal, spec, alpha and luminance. Once you do that, you can import objects as props, then make a building using the prop.

xzzy posted:"Blender noob to pro" was once the default suggestion but I'm not sure it's been updated in a long time. A second choice would be the blender tutorial hub: I followed noob to pro and well, it helps. Unfortunately a lot of the tutorials, especially toward the end, target an older version when the ui was different, so you need to search for some of that poo poo. And you really need to follow a tutorial, Blender isn't very discoverable for a noob.

I'd hesitate recommending Blender to a newbie. I've no problem using it because I've used various 3d programs over the years and it's all the same, just a matter of finding out what the hell it's called in this particular package and how to get to it. For someone new to 3d modelling? Uuuuuuh.

I kind of wish there was a 1910 setting for this game where mass transit was incredibly important because most people didn't own a car, also everything moved much slower. It'd sure help railways be more relevant.

Well poo poo. Autodesk has a .fbx exporter that might fix the issue, because even following the guide I'm having trouble with actually getting the thing into the game. I've set the scales and all that and added a test map and... nothing. Any particular settings you used?

It appears in the preview window but not in the edit mode. e3: actually... I think it IS appearing, it's just really, really, really, really tiny despite me jacking the scale up. What the hell.

Yeah, as I said, when exporting from Blender the scale needs to be 400x to be tile for tile. You can set it from the FBX export window, there's a panel on the left to set the export scale. Alternatively when importing it into Cities, you can set the scale to 400 instead of 1.

Is it me or are ore/oil deposits just too shallow? They last for maybe a year with the appropriate zoned industry on top of them, and then next thing you know you turn around and all your mining buildings and pumpjacks are turned into smelters and refineries which now have to import stuff, doubling your truckloads. At least they make bank while they're doing that, but walk away from your city for 15 minutes and money's not an problem.

I wish there was an option to "lock" your cash when you want to modify roads. The amount of placing, deleting, and redoing can kill your cash quick, but when you "unlock" it subtracts the amount needed for the current configuration.

Why don't cargo trains come to this station? I built it along with my new downtown district to attempt to resolve some problems my commercial zones were having with their goods supplies. I had anticipated that cargo trains would arrive, vans would spawn, and they would drive off to deliver to the shops in the area. But literally not one train ever arrived. Eventually I decided I was going to have to put a new industrial zone in after years of being office-only, which is partially visible on the right. It failed miserably due to lack of workers, but for some reason the cargo stations there receive deliveries, and so you can see the little horde of vans crossing the bridge on their way to deliver to my commercial district. But why won't they visit the station downtown? The station is on, powered, watered, connected by rail in both directions and has road access (and removing the junction right in front of the station makes no difference). What's going on?

It's probably too much to ever hope for from skylines, but what I'd really like from the next step forward in city sims is one that allows you to start your city in pre-modern time (say, in the medieval to early industrial age) and develop it from there and into modern times with the needs and methods of city development changing radically over time.

Commercial zones will not last long (no supplies to sell). Buses will be added later. " Now there is a mod that allows pedestrian walkways to be used by public service vehicles. Police, Fire EMS and garbage trucks will use pedestrian walkways and you can also zone pedestrian walkways with buildings. This is awesome. It allows you to build better neighborhoods without worrying about the services getting there. Plenty of European cities have walkable-only ways that police still use but no private cars are allowed into.

This Timboh guy has dumped a pretty neat bunch of everyone's favourite interchanges onto the Workshop. http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198060118858/myworkshopfiles/?appid=255710 quote:Gothic interchanges have a bit of a shady reputation, worse than it deserves in my opinion. They sometimes go by the name "Malfunction Crossing" due to its deceptivly broken-looking structure, with the mainline carriageways switching sides. The name also originates from the problems with the ramps in the inner lane. This is a problem in the real world, where heavier, slower traffic will have a hard time reaching, and leaving, these ramps. However, I think a directional setup might be beneficial in-game, since concepts like road safety, and individual vehicle speed (seperate from road speed) doesn't seem to affect the capacity of the interchange.
