Really wish there was some kind of road grid in the actual game. Especially since it's such an rear end in a top hat about imperceptible slopes. If I can't place my intersection because the flat ground is too steep, give me a grid to use so my handmade interchange doesn't look like poo poo.

I was watching pedestrians move between two of my metro stations while considering revisions, when i noticed something weird. Every group switching stations would take the long way around in green. I've never seen a single pedestrian set foot on the little red hook.

cthulhoo posted:Periodic dying is dumb, it's like there's no variance in cim lifespan so the entire block dies at the same time. The game really needs to have some sort of randomized lifespan for cims. It seems like it wouldn't be too hard to generate a random death date for each cim based on actuarial tables or whatever. Shaman Ooglaboogla posted:How do you actually make updates to an asset you uploaded to the workshop? It seems like every time I save the modified asset it makes a new copy of it that I would have to share separately. 1) Edit asset and save it. This makes a new .crp file in your user Skylines folder in Addons/Assets. 2) Subscribe to asset on Workshop. 3) In Content Manager, go to the Workshop version of the asset and use the Update button. 4) In the new popup, use the folder button, which will open a new window in Explorer/Finder/whatever to a staging folder for that workshop item. 5) Manually copy the new .crp file over the old one in the staging folder. 6) Manually copy a new snapshot over PreviewImage.png in the staging folder. 7) Go back into Skylines and submit the asset update. 8) Delete the .crp file in your user Skylines folder in Addons/Assets to keep the game from complaining at you about duplicate assets. It's awkward as hell.

Hey guys, I finished the watchtower (while I was editing the UVs earlier to combine faces to save space and pack more detail in, I decided I might as well texture it, etc.): Get it here! It's a level 3 unique with a huge effect radius but lower tourism value than the unique it's based on (except for high wealth tourists). I'd recommend using it on Boreal maps, since I'm an idiot and made the ploppable using conifers...  guess I got too into it.e: I just realized a lot of work I put into it probably went to waste since you can't see the ornamental carvings in the wood in these screenshots.

I like how a few people were, understandably, worried a bit that despite the games mod-friendliness, we might not see the number of mods that SC4 did. Here we are barely a week from release, and the game is right on the doorstep of overtaking SC4 for number of mods released during it's entire 12 year run.

This game is evil, in the same way that Civilization is evil. It eats hours, and spits out obsessive perfectionism. After a few tries, I got a good street system going, I think. Large roads branch into medium roads, which branch into small roads. The only problem is the offramps from the highway - as you can see, they're both amateurish and the little stretch up towards the industrial district tends to just clog the entire system up. At first, my industrial area was dying because there weren't enough workers; I think I fixed it by adding more metro connections and building some more low-density residents. Now, they're dying because they can't find buyers for their goods, yet the demand for commercial buildings has been zero for years. What's up there? Also, all my boats are doing this now for some reason. I'm not really sure why.

If anyone else wants to tinker with making buildings in Blender, have some stuff. First a zip of some buildings I've made, Dads Shower Supply, Nakitomi, and my water tower. Includes the .blend files and all the textures so you can see the naming conventions and such. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1mG717URIGtS3JYZTl0X1d1cEU And a whole heaping pile of mostly low-res tileable textures from who knows where. I've had this collection for years, they're handy for building textures in this game. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1mG717URIGtYUhRTVYyTG43STA

Alright, how do I break my OCD and make a perfect highway entrance to my first time? I've spent about 4 hours dicking around and would like to make a town that'll at least survive for the first 2k citizens but a lot of my time is just spent wrestling with options for the entrance.

I feel like dirty industry is simply not worth it over building offices everywhere. I had an oil industry district, and had constant traffic problems. After a while, I decided to just turn everything into offices. Now there's no pollution, no traffic, I make more money than before, and I can actually zone residential next to it without people getting sick. Plus I can still build incinerators in the middle of office areas without them caring. I guess if my city wasn't so highly educated? But just plopping down a couple of schools in a city with good public transport coverage makes nearly everyone in the city highly educated without me even trying. I dunno, for the downsides of dirty industry, it feels like you should make a lot more money from it.

What I do is build a 2 way next to the highway as close a possible to the map edge and try and get it as close to straight as I can, as the highway doesnt come into the map at a perfect 90* angle BECAUSE REASONS!!!! And then take that road up and over the two highway nubs, draw in my 2 lane one ways that act as highways until I get real highways and then delete the guide 2 way I drew and connect the highways to the 2 lane one ways. After that I either merge the 2 lanes or extend them and upgrade them later when I unlock highways.

I threw this together in a couple minutes but it's basically just two diamond interchanges and a pseudo-frontage road between them, this will easily support a shitload of people as long as you zone your industry so it's closer to the highway than your residential (which you should be doing anyways). You can upgrade the one-ways to highways and offramps later when you get access, and tear parts of it out as needed to make fancy interchanges. In this setup I wouldn't be building next to the first bridge because I can't make the full onramp setup, so I would wait until I could buy the land above it, this is mostly because moving bridges is much more of a pain in the rear end than redesigning them.

Offices don't supply enough goods for commercial to sell so you'll either take a happiness loss on your citizens or have a lot of incoming traffic carrying goods to your commercial. Industry meanwhile overproduces drastically, giving you extra non-tax income when you ship it out, but also produces very heavy traffic around the industrial areas since they have to both ship their goods out and the resources in.

I almost want to build this abomination to see how it simulates. Maybe it doesn't look to bad, but it has a 2 lane coming from downtown (Northeast) with an onramp feeding into it, then merges with another 3 lane, which gets reduced to 4 lanes total. But right now theres a ton of construction happening right after the merge, so theres only 3 lanes and traffic gets backed up REAL fast. Then everyone tries to get off the highway at the last second, clogging up all of the streets near it. Its great

I like the Industrial Coffee Filter for isolating truck traffic but it gets overwhelmed with congestion when built for a large number of industry buildings. Trucks and cars coming in isn't much of a problem but clearing trucks out often backs up traffic to gridlock. Eliminating the top two lane road and replacing it with three lane highway back to the freeway made a huge difference in clearing out traffic. Here are a couple of screens of this high density residential zone and its attached industrial zone. With a truck ban in the residential to prevent trucks taking shortcuts.

My town seems perfectly happy with the one district I have for heavy commercial, (maybe because of the parks/commercial bug) and I haven't noticed any problems with import traffic to that area, so
