Yeah it hates doing a ton of area at once, the zone meters seem to just do their own thing.

I live literally next to an airport (I can look out of my window and see the runway) and only hear the planes if I have my windows open. Even then i've lived near planes all my life and don't even notice anymore. My family would be talking to eachother and people who have come round have said "sorry I didn't hear that, plane" and we'd be like "what plane".

Also, set up some Metro's. I was having major problems getting everyone to work from my residential zone, but I set up two metro lines with buses going to each one and then the same in the commercial and industrial zones. Traffic seemed to drop by about 50%, it was insane. How far are citizens happy to walk for a bus?

I find that I struggle to make things that are pretty because they're not optimal. But I do want to try and make a town where cable cars and buses are pretty much the only way around. Is there an unlock everything mod?

It can ease up pressure on your freeways. That being said, my freeways are now always a congested shitshow. I need to work out how to fix that. It was fine up until I started making giant cities.

MisterBibs posted:What are the practical benefits of districting into industrial specificities? I've got a not-very-big chunk of fertile land on my map, which would imply I should zone it for farming, but I'm lacking the whats-the-point answer. Just a lack of pollution compared to generic industry? Honestly with buses I don't really bother looking at the traffic (most of its going to be fairly obvious) That being said, use bus lines for short journeys and subways for longer journeys. My first attempt at this was having a metro that did my residential, commercial and industrial in a loop, then buses at each metro station that did short journeys from the station to the furthest parts of the zone. I also designed everything in a square the first time I did this because grids are easy to plan for. Don't underestimate the importance of paths. One small bridge from your residential district edge to your commercial or industrial district edge will also reduce traffic by quite a lot. If it also leads to a bus station, it'll decrease traffic more, as people will be "closer" to a bus station they can walk to, reducing traffic on roads.

They haven't really changed it, you probably just need to read a traffic management guide (I did this during a lunch break, spent 20 minutes reading it, tried it out in game) and then give it a whirl. The game is primarily about managing traffic and building pretty cities, so if you can't do that you're doing at least 50% of the game wrong.

I find that rezoning areas once i've made them once is actually a fun part of the game. If I have a clustered, fucky suburbs and manage to clear it up so barely any traffic is on it anymore, it feels really good. Especially when you zoom in close and realise that some of the bridges you built are being used, heavily!

I've got a question about poo (never thought i'd type that). Do you absolutely have to place drains on water? If so, can you place those drains, then remove or channel the water to make a poo river? I'm thinking of making a city powered by a lovely dam.

It took me hours to get a park running at a profit with costs on. There are a lot of things you don't really get told, like you want to try to keep ride costs at $6 per "star" on the ride, or how making your queues look pretty (read, slamming enough props down on it) is super important, or how overtraining staff is a bad idea and you want to just train people who have "high" workload and then pay them more to ensure they don't leave when mad, or how you want to set up where they work with bigger parks to avoid all of them hanging around one place and... Just play it in sandbox mode if you want to create pretty things.

dragonshardz posted:And ferries. And the "eco" buildings which are not garishly oversaturated like some of the default buildings. Blimps and cable cars are cool too. Helicopter-based EMS/PD/FD if you pick up Natural Disasters and shut off random disasters and weather so you don't get forest fires everywhere. Yeah, most DLC has had something that i'm happy to pick up (on sale) because of a core feature. When I get around to picking this game up again, i'll likely not play the usual way (GIANT CITY LETS GO WOOOOOO) and try and go for something smaller but eye pleasing. Overwatch competitive season ends in 4 days, so maybe then.

I usually have a one way "through road" for my trucks to get down onto my "commercial sector" (read, shops by the main road) and then a way out somewhere else. Usually this means I have to disable heavy traffic on the other roads but luckily there is an in game tool to do that! Thank god, i'd hate to have to tell them to stay off the residential streets one by one.

I think transport fever does a really good job of making cities look pretty realistic. Especially when it starts growing around your stations. Residential tends to go right next to transport options, commercial pops up right near where the docks are. If a city is well supplied it'll ask for more. That last sentence is kind of what I want. Right now the loving bars being entirely wrong annoys me.

vyelkin posted:Oh yeah that's another thing is a realistic city sim wouldn't have you "building" things by just plopping down roads and buildings. It would have you planning things by saying "I would like the road to go here" and then you would watch it slowly get constructed over several years, during which time things would change and there would be cost overruns because it turned out the topsoil was different than you thought in that area or whatever. Solving traffic problems by widening a road would actually make the traffic worse for several years because the road would have to be temporarily narrowed to allow the construction work of the widening to take place. You would plan a subway station only to find two years later that there's solid granite ten feet underground where you planned it and you're faced with either changing the planning for your entire subway line to put it somewhere else and wasting two years and a bunch of money, or spending five times as much and three times as long to continue with the original plan. This sounds really good actually.
