Arrhythmia posted:You can't mention this without pictures Major! Hah! Very true - I should've known better!  I'll try and remember to take a screenshot tonight/when I next play, once some more people have moved into the whole area I've built etc, so it's a little prettier to look at.goferchan posted:I don't know what makes me retarded with city builders now because I know I played Simcity 2k fine as a kid but I can't even make it through the Skylines tutorial now, lol. Just like connecting water and electricity to everything is too much for me Yeah I dunno, CS seems to be a bit harder to start, compared to other city builders I played years ago (haven't played a non-CS builder since Simcity 2k either though, so I'm hardly a vet). What I tend to do though, is build up the infrastructure of an initial area that I plan on zoning (like, the size of a large suburb, or two regular suburbs I guess. Hopefully your suburb sizes are roughly the same size as mine, so that this actually makes sense and I'm not leading you astray!  ) and then build water+power generation off to one side.But yeah, so once that's done, I just blow the rest of my money on putting pipes throughout the whole area I've built roads for (so I won't have to build more, until after I already have a stable foundation of a town. Which I think is around when you get the first 'congrats!' milestone popup) and running power lines to the edge of the area. The trick is to go absolutely hog-wild on spending - blow ALL your money on this stuff, since you're guaranteed to go into the negatives anyway, early on. Then once I've finished that, I just hit play, let people slowly move in (starting from the end with the power lines of course, heh) and wait until I go to something like -$10k I think it is, which will automatically fire a free loan of ~$50k. I use that to buy whatever else I happen to need (normally more power generation for my windfarm) and make sure to blow every cent again, since I'll still be losing money. Then just wait a while, zoning more as demands increase, then I quickly start making money and coming out of the negatives again. If that's all that was keeping you away from CS, uou should really give it another go at some point, when you've got the time to spare! I quite like how creative you can get with everything, and how good a built-up city can look

Alright, well as requested here are a couple of screenshots of my CS city - Iceburg. I've expanded a little more, so I'm now in a comfortable position, income-wise. But anyway, I won't clog up the page with IMG tags, so here are the links: Standard view Zone view So yeah, at this stage the only way into the city is via a tunnel under my industrial zone, leading into the main roundabout. I'm gonna make a bridge/overpass with that western road and set up an outer suburb/satellite city by the lake over there, in the nearish future. I think I might also make a truck-only toll road leading from the industrial zone out to the main highway. (Probably the north-south one on the left. I'll have to add one of those massive, expensive T-junctions to be able to do it though) Somewhere in the middle of that I'll turn the centre of the roundabout into a big fancy park I think, but I'm not 100% on that yet. The L-shaped bits surrounding it will eventually have bulky buildings like the hospital, police headquarters, etc. I think. Not certain yet, though - I'm mostly just playing it by ear at this point, rather than actually planning ahead like what a civil engineer should actually be doing, haha

Fungah! posted:drat, i like that roundabout in the middle. probably a traffic nightmare but aesthetically drat good Ah, well it actually ends up being pretty effective, to be honest! Especially since I've ulgraded it to be a highway - so everyone just whizzes around at lightspeed, before turning off it, without slowing down! It's even OK with all the trucks going through it - although I expect that'll gradually become a problem as I expand. But once I build the extra truck-only road onto the highway, I should be pretty good.Arrhythmia posted:Very cool. Looks a little half dressed though, something nice definitely needs to go inside the roundabout. I'll post some pics of my last city once I'm home. Oh yeah for sure - it's definitely a bit of an eyesore right now. I haven't been game enough to make a nature reserve in there yet (never done it before) but I'll give it a go soon. That or a theme park maybe. And sounds good! I'm definitely interested to see how others here build their cities

Easily the biggest one I've ever done, the population is somewhere around 110K, which really causes it to chug. I'm super proud of how it turned out though. I even managed to get the damnable "unlock every building" achievement using it, finally.  This is my current one. Still a work in progress; I'm trying to be a little more sparse. In particular, I'm trying to only build in the clearings in the map. I really like how the division in the main road inside the central industrial area turned out!

Oh wow, yeah those look great! I like that forked main road, too - having everything spread out is a good idea, for a good-looking result. I guess the added road costs and pipes might make early-game a bit more costly, right? Definitely worth it though I like having river-straddling cities like the first one, too - with a few bridges in between. I think once I've finished this city, I'll see if I can find a cool custom map and do a Manhattan-like city.

Hmm, now that I've had some time to think about it on the bus*, I'm wondering if (once I've fleshed-out the suburb I've just built, and made another couple to the west, so that it's roughly symmetrical with the eastern side) I should rip up that main road through the centre of the north, replace it with a highway, then extend it north through a big CBD packed chock-full of offices and high-density commercial areas. Maybe with a big 'NYC central park' kind of deal in the middle, which the highway goes around. Then have the highway eventually extend north-west and link up with that north-south highway on the left? Hmm... * Speaking of which, if/when you have time, would you be able to show me the public transport networks for your amazing city, Arrhythmia? No pressure or anything, though. I'm just quite curious about how you've optimized it, and how dense/sparse your bus routes etc. are.
