So work commuters exist but they don't need to connect to their jobs, right? Their importance is that they create traffic for the essential service vehicles?

SynthOrange posted:Dammit I just realized that the four lane roads were causing a lot of my traffic issues. The divider in the middle prevents traffic from buildings on the sides from going in the wrong direction so they have to go all the way to the end of the road. With a six or two lane road, they can just cross and be on their way! Now that I'm paying attention to these things, probably 75% of the roads where I live are 5 lanes, or 4 lanes with a left turn lane in the middle. Not sure what that would buy you vs. using 6 lanes, but it could replace the seemingly useless 4 lane. I also didn't like the way merging one ways (like ramps) into the game's 4 lane causes a traffic light, but I guess there must be a logic to it.

Does building small work in City Skylines, or does the game assume you want to be a huge big-deal city all the time? I guess you could ignore demand. People will remain happy without population growth. If you create loads of small towns you might need a huge fuckoff freeway system regardless due to bottle necking.

Well you could just build lots of small towns instead of one large one on the same map and give each their own power/water supply etc.

I find it really interesting to struggle with a busy road for like an hour, then realize if I just delete a couple connections it smooths everything out. Sometimes less is indeed more.

It's a pity though that drat near all of them have serious issues in modelling and texturing that usually results in the model just straight up failing to export properly.

Sorry, I know .fbx files can be used by the game, but I opened up the asset editor and could only choose from pre-made assetts (didn't see a 'load from file' dialogue anyehere) , is there a second step needed?

You need to put the .fbx for the model and any maps it uses, in the "import" folder that opens up when you click the folder icon.

Is there any mods that modify the info-view overlay? The associated buildings light up purple in a given overlay, but I would love that other services would be colour coded (i.e. blue for police, brown for garbage and etc.) and not just white like the other buildings. Think it would make it easier to view the city when using those info-view and build accordingly.

The amount of road space needed to get free-flowing, intersectionless traffic - even in a city of '23k' - is just mind-boggling. I feel like I'm playing Dubai Master Planner 1995 here.

Is there any good reason to have resources like ore and whatever actually deplete? I don't really like that idea at all, having your specialized industry be on a timer like that doesn't seem fun to me.

I finally made a decent city that I'm happy with and isn't a traffic nightmare! I used what I had learnt from my previous cities and planned out a bit more space so that as soon highways unlocked I was able to create a highway loop around my industrial district with plenty of on/off ramps on every side so traffic has easy access. I'm starting to get some buildup in my downtown area so my next big infrastructure project will be a big trans-peninsular highway which loops along the coast outside of my city. The tough decision now is whether or not to try and move one of my fused grids over a block or 2 so I can fit in a highway through the spine of the city or not. Choices!

Nice! It would be great if another mod gave the option to turn highways and railways invisible so we can build the future with floating cars and trains.

It's a pretty great model for other developers to try to follow, in terms of ease of use and integration. It also illustrates the amazing success a great mod community can bring you. Do you think this game would have anywhere near the same amount of buzz if the game wasn't moddable? It's a great feedback loop that has definitely boosted their sales.

Between the pre-release streams and the healthy amount of mods and assets coming out already, the game is firing on all cylinders. The fact that it's all based on Unity seems like a huge plus for modders, too. As someone who enjoyed Simcity 4, but could never get into modding because it was a nightmare of dependencies and what have you, this is a dream. While I'm here: my system clock mod that's in the OP now works in 16:10 resolutions! Now you can realize that you're staying up way too late while also playing at 1900x1200!

Is adding the little thumbnail part of the asset manager? I've noticed a lot of building addons dont have a thumbnail, just a generic white image which makes it hard to find in the list. I have no problems with others so I think modders are just being lazy fucks.
