Logikv9 posted:Cruise ship tours bring disaster tourists to survey the ruins. Capitalism never ends. This actually looks amazing with the ruins all underwater - it'd be a fun map to start on - after the apocalypse. Do those buildings despawn or do they stay there? Man I'm just thinking a bunch of ancient ruins would make awesome parks and I bet there's some intrepid artists out there making a bunch already. Actually serious question if I make a map with a building in it that came from someone else's mod does anyone downloading the map get the building or would they need the mod as well?

Have the devs mentioned anything about custom thumbnails for modded ploppables? One reason I have held off on downloading too many is because I don't want my menus spammed with identical blue cube stacks.

One reason I have held off on downloading too many is because I don't want my menus spammed with identical blue cube stacks. All my building mods have thumbnails. There's a way to do it but I forget (it auto-makes them for uniques apparently but beyond that—don't remember).

They stay there forever. They are all technically abandoned, so as long as you don't have the auto demolish mod (or have it turned off), they will never go away. I was toying with the idea of starting a post-apocalyptic map (as you said), and slowly redamming and redraining the area to recover lost ruins. Unfortunately, as soon as the land becomes non-flooded again the buildings auto-rebuild  I suppose you could simply dezone them beforehand, though...

Dezoning typically causes the buildings to poof out of existence though. I dunno if abandoned buildings behave any differently in this case.

I just lost a couple hours worth of building rail network and growing my city by about 10k because the game soft-locked (time was stopped, UI technically responsive but nothing would actually happen) and refused to save my city, nor did autosave seem to work (it was severely out of date). No idea what caused it, either. RIP Shoudoshima/Japanifornia.

OwlFancier posted:Well, possibly bigger capital investments on new generation facilities in general leading to a conservative approach favoring the maintenence of existing facilities with their existing support infrastructure might have something to do with it. I'd love to see an expansion that developed weather, power and water systems on par with traffic in complexity.

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.

rt4 posted:What's the best way to monitor pedestrian traffic? I think eyeballs are the only way. I'm also pretty certain that there is no concept of 'congestion' or 'queueing' in the game for pedestrians, they just clip through each other. I know this because my central train station has a mass of humanity at the bus stop outside it that must surely be only a few people short of reaching the density threshold for forming a black hole.

Is there some trick to the airport that I'm missing? I plopped it down, hooked it up to the usual services, ran metro and bus routes out to it, but it's been several years and not a single plane has come in or out. For $4800 a year I'd like at least some passengers.

 Still not sure how I feel about essentially running a communist's worst nightmare - a city that is making great strides in completely wiping out the proletariat simply through education. No workers of the world to unite here, they're all busy getting smart. I planned an industrial park to the west there, but it completely failed due to a massive lack of uneducated workers - the 10% that were left were all working in low-level commerce. Even setting taxes to 1% didn't help. So it all got dezoned and replaced with offices, since there is no short supply of educated workers. There's some massive traffic jams going on in the city center (well, what will become the city center once I fill out the western part of this area) and the highway entrance to the east, but I'm just going to ignore that and hope it'll just go away. That's how politicians solve problems, right?

Perhaps I'm just stuck in my ways of thinking from SC4 but my biggest pet peeve about this game is the fact electricity won't travel through zoned areas. It is really cumbersome and annoying to lay power lines all over the place, especially when they dezone things they're placed through. I preferred the approach of SC4- buildings could develop on top of power lines, and electricity travelled through zoned areas.

In Sc4, if you had a contiguous group of zones between the power source/line and the source, then electricity travelled through it. The zones did not actually have to be developed for electricity to travel through it. e:f,b
