Power cables are annoying as gently caress because sometimes you make a new zone and then you have to run a power cable through it to power it then wait for some to build up so you can delete the cable and rezone the land the cable was sitting on. Agh. Is there a tool where I can tell where foot traffic is loving up car traffic so footbridges would help?

I would be okay with minor disasters. Events. Major city-reshaping disasters I want no part of. It's just a few small roundabouts connected by a two-way ring road. If it was spaced a little further out you'd see it's actually pretty simple. The Swindon one is over-compressed but therea are a few other ones in Britain that are larger and cleaner that are quite sensible to look at. EDIT: like if you were to properly do the magic roundabout in Cities it'd look like this:  Cities makes you space stuff out more. MikeJF fucked around with this message at 07:10 on Mar 19, 2015 |

Unfortunately, the map view doesn't really capture the wonderful Westgate Freeway/Citylink interchange where it was really awkward for a while to have people pop onto the Westgate for a kilometre before they hit and turned onto Citylink, so they ended up just going 'gently caress it, let's just run Citylink onraps and offramps a kilometre and a half to where they were getting on the Westgate'. That said, I don't think my city has much really crazy in the way of interchanges. We have some great actual intersections, though. Like this is a few blocks from me, a surprisingly well-functioning intersection between a 'highway' (which means major road, it's fully stop-lighted, onramp/offramp roads are called freeways here) and just a couple of local roads, a very simple intersection in theory. Turning from Nepean Southbound onto Bay always confuses newbies, though.  Speaking of Melbourne, I want trams so I can see my cims have to suffer Hook Turns. Also, this roundabout is too simple, let's add trams just to gently caress everyone up.

Freakus posted:Wind is $10/MW. Solar is something like $7.5/MW. The real question is: why would you build coal, oil, or nuclear plants? Those numbers seem... like they didn't balance them right. Renewables should cost more. It even says in the description.

Hyper Crab Tank posted:Weirdo conspiracy theories aside, green energy in the game really is too powerful. From a game balance perspective alone, it's possible to make the argument that something is weird. There's basically no reason to use fossil energy sources whatsoever since wind farms and solar plants are far more efficient in every way except space (which can easily be mitigated), and also don't produce any waste. There's no real tradeoff to make, those sources are just objectively better than coal and oil. Yeah, I was thinking this. I was building oil because I was assuming it'd be cheaper than the green stuff.

And nuclear has an extra cost in terms of high water use, too. I had a loop situation at one point where there was a brief interruption, and then because the power was off the water stopped, and then the connection was restored but the water wouldn't work without power and the power wouldn't work without water.

One thing I'm really missing is larger versions of certain city services. A high-capacity elementary school or a high-capacity high school would be good. Although it might be prone to abuse given that there's apparently no distance limit on effective schooling. What would be really great would be a drat necropolis.
