Also, the IMPORTANT NOTE I put on there was how I fixed my traffic problem for the offramp from this Can you explain the difference between the two junctions? I see some buildings along the road but I don't understand the concept.

After spending a couple of years away from it and coming back to it shortly before Cities launched, I have to say that SimCity 2013 wasn't terrible. Don't get me wrong, it's a bad game. But it's only bad because it tried to be the jack of all trades and didn't succeed in any of them really well. If they had only made the "region" as a whole city and fixed the traffic accordingly I wouldn't have hated it as much. Each individual "city" should've been a neighborhood where you could specialize in parks, universities, industry, tourism or whatever. Instead, you had to fit everything in every single city and they STILL couldn't get the buses to move students between regions. I guess that's why I'm liking Cities so much. I love making nice little housing areas or entertainment areas. I'd actually like it if they modded more of that sort of thing in where I could say, "this is shopping only" and it would just be retail or "this is restaurants " and it just be that way.

I tried the unlimited money and all tech mod but I literally had no fun playing it. I think half the fun is noticing a design flaw and then having to figure out how to fix it. I have been trying to have my citizens use less cars, result? Bridges. a lot of loving bridges

Nondescript Van posted:i probably missed something but I dont see the difference in road design between these two or why one is much better than the other. It's the same exact highway design, except in the grid layout, I had roads between these sections that meant traffic from all 4 grid blocks were all going out to the highway on the bottom left side and overloading the highway. The I noted in the grid asset link before NOT to connect the trunks like that, it'll give you congestion problems.

Tambaloneus posted:Also I love that something will grow if you allocate space, regardless of the real world desire to live somewhere like that. This house has been happily occupied since I put it there. This honestly isn't that weird. There's a street downtown in the city that I live in with houses built pretty much right against a highway on ramp:  They're actually fairly nice houses, aside from the whole living next to a highway thing.

Between different industrial zone types, from resource production areas to resource using areas. i.e. from mines to ore processing, or oil pumps to oil refineries.

Current city looking really good so far!  had a problem with waste water because all the water on this custom map floats strrraight to my city. had to change directions of the streams with abusing dams in a way that definitely wasnt intended and then just block the streams with normal regular dams (ignore the bottom waste, that was just an expiremt=

Hey you know, the artstyle in SC2013 was actually kinda endearing and fitting with Cities Skylines, so I wouldn't mind some professional buildings. That is what the game currently needs besides some street related stuff. More buildings.

I have discovered that if you have a starting road and a target road that are on the angles you want to match the curve road tool will snap to match them if you get close enough with your starting angle. Good thing.

Otherwise you're going to need a cloverleaf, an efficient 3 way intersection isn't going to upgrade to a 4 way without being rebuilt.

Found out those awesome emergency-lanes are kinda overpowered. People will still build their homes and industry next to em as if they were vehicle accessible roads. Still a must-have mod, but abuse that at your own peril. Kinda takes alot of fun out of things.

By upgrade I just mean that it'll take up the same amount of space (with the added roads going in the 4th direction) and have the same road connections (to the original 3 in/out roads) as the 3-way one.

My city's at a population of 7000 and I have zero demand for everything. I can't afford universities yet and my forest industries are failing because of lack of workers (because of lack of demand for housing). How can I remedy this?

Then that's a cloverleaf, a cloverleaf is basically the most compact design you can really have for a 4 way and functions perfectly well as a 3 way too, you just have two spare roads hanging off the end until you run the highway further.

Zone more residential, build schools, parks, and ensure you have good health, fire, and police coverage.

SynthOrange posted:I dont know where my money is coming from. I just spend it. This. Something about how the game has bad feedback on some of the information makes you start ignoring even the accessible information and you just start winging everything. A sprinkling of schools, a pinch of firestations, mix em up with a couple of buslines, put it in the oven for 10 minutes and see if it burns. The user comment on that low density megagrid I posted a few posts back said it had a population of 200 000 btw for those curious.

Decrepus posted:Does everyone here make money on their public transit besides me? My city is a hellscape of grids, turd bays, buses desperately fighting the freight trucks to get to the newly rejuvenating forestry zone (I had to dezone like a third, I guess you don't need nearly as much as in Sim City). Meanwhile I apparently ran out of coal for my plant and never noticed since I've been building so many advanced wind turbines (why would I not do this by the way). I put down social services entirely based on what looks about right based on where I've expanded and with no thought for actual expansion. I haven't bought the block with the interstate yet so that's next and God help me when I try to gently caress with it to unclog it. e: Oh good the medical clinic is on fire. e: I am fairly certain I will have to raze half the city to actually adjust for the traffic problems rising. I won't, but I should. RBA Starblade fucked around with this message at 01:58 on Mar 18, 2015 |

I created this monster for industrial truck traffic: One east-west freeway meeting a north-south freeway. Both freeways can get off onto any cargo terminal. And all cargo terminals can get back going on either freeway.
