Bel Monte posted:I just realized something that doesn't bode well. With how free it is to mod the game easily and do so much with that, it's inevitable there will be bigger mods that other mods depend upon. It may not be as bad as the simcity 4 community, but... Turtle shaped offramps all the way down I wanted to join the local highway showoff and I found what looks like it should be a train switch station. However my least favorite part of the commute to Philadelphia is just before you enter Chester, where 322 merges with I-95. It's straightforward enough, just a highway merging into an interstate, but the northbound traffic merges from the west side on the left. This is a problem because everyone coming from the suburbs down 322 is trying to get to their job in New Jersey across the commodore barry bridge. Which is an eastbound exit all the way on the right side exactly 1km from the merger leaving you with tons of people trying to cut across 3 lanes of a highway to make the offramp. Oh also there is a second highway merging in on the right hand side along this 1km stretch with people trying to get the gently caress out of the lane before they are forced to exit and end up in jersey.

Anyone with some hot tips for how to do bus stops? I have no clue and just plopped them everywhere and well there isn't really much way to figure out how well it works anyway.

Is the lot with some construction stuff on it in a specialty industry mean it's been used up?

What is the minimum effectiveness of mass transit before your bus stops etc can be considered useless or laid down by an idiot?

Elevate highways, or build soundbarrier ground highways?

Help I'm too simple minded to understand basic traffic ideas. My city of offensive grids is clogging at the excessive intersections
|
# ¿ Apr 3, 2015 22:34 |

the roundabout is already highway, though it seems most of the traffic is before the left intersection so I'm not sure if rounding that about will help.

# ¿ Apr 3, 2015 22:37 |

Ok cutting out every other intersection has resulted in the traffic being within the grids instead of on the 6 lane. Asproigerosis fucked around with this message at 23:25 on Apr 3, 2015 |

Am I missing something with being able to put down road, etc with perfect 0% grade? I need my bridges to be pure and perfectly level! Also is there a way to change a couple road tiles into the asymmetric turn lane and not the entire road segment?

I don't get mass transit. I put a train station at each of my dense commerce area, medium/dense residential, and industrial and nobody uses it. Do I just have to wait until traffic gets bad they start using mass transit as an alternative? Also the insatiable lust for low density residential pisses me off and I keep ending up just making a big ugly square block of mass 2x2 houses to get them to shutup.

So I'm supposed to sprinkle commercial all throughout the medium/high density residential areas? Can't just make a big ol commercial blob cause of the customer mechanic and cims hating transit? Also is there any reason to ever use the normal medium density residential ever again after you unlock the mixed use?

residential taxes by education is really bizarre considering as far as I can tell there is no coherent logic behind where the educated/wealthy live. Pull up the education or wealth overview and everywhere is just a random mashup regardless of density or land value.

Thats exactly what happened, anything already there is OK, but anything new is just empty building nobody will rent and if I demolish anything nobody will build in this particular high fallutin value area despite full rci bar.

Lmao that they didn't bother making an elevated tram station. I'll really don't get the high school. Why's it forever 1/8th the student population of all the other education levels?

Don't like the mass spam of low density houses complaining about high rent, but they refuse to demand higher density housing (if the bar is empty nobody will build anything, if it's pretty low, they might build, but very high likelihood the building just remains empty and eventually abandoned/collapses). Trying to get people to move in to fill these jobs but no demand. Also offices are hilariously broken and you just get infinite money from them, they constantly have obscene demand. Media, software, financial make up 80% of my exports lol. I just want a salt of the earth lunch pail industry city, but industry is stupid, significantly broken by the land value mechanic just shoots to the moon and spreads along your roads like a mold. Except the expansion is stopped by low density housing which will never ever have land value increase around it. I also think it's a terrible mechanic to have industry requiring so many high education employees. Really need 16 university educated workers in your 30 person furniture factory? I've never seen any material goods exported because offices are a billion times better than industry Also is it normal to constantly have these insane crashes? I have numerous road maintenance shops and all the roads are green condition.

Yeah my highway interchange was just the default "urban" intersection in the game but flipped so the highway is elevated. Did not know speed mattered for interchanges.

The game still has significant systems like land value that aren't functioning correctly. Not game breaking, but soft locks of sorts I guess as eventually it really fucks up the ability to play a large late city. So if you've been waiting for the game to get out of beta and into a proper retail build, it's still not there yet. Make sure you watch the incredible documentary on how they wasted time and resources on documenting their incredible launch of a raw beta build though

Is there an explanation for why my medium density are slowly emptying out in the heart of my downtown? they keep slowly losing residents until abandoning, but I have demand and if I bulldoze it immediately rebuilds and gets filled out.

piratepilates posted:Very commonly encountered bug. The numbers a lot of the time seem sssuusssppppppicously similar to the max/min of a 32-bit integer, so I'm pretty sure they have some integer overflow bugs they haven't fixed. I've noticed some times when going about on the map and seeing a huge mass of students standing on the grounds of the education building. Hundreds of them modeled for no real reason as they study.
