Does the LP forum still require 3 months from a game release to do an LP? Because I would love a CS LP so bad. Hint hint Deadly Hume.

So how about we get a multiplayer goontopia going? Using the 25 tile mod, each square is its own district, 1 person per district. Build dams and then raze them to flood your neighbours! Put your poop chute upstream from their water pump! Delete all your industrial roads except one and inundate their town with trucks! The possibilities are endless!

Cincle posted:It's a sorta gimmicky map but I enjoy working around dumbass terrain. Looks like fun, thanks  I like that kinda terrain as well. The most annoying part about CS for me is that you can't plop service buildings easily because 'terrain is too steep'. I mean ffs in reality you'd dig into a hill or add some dirt to lay a flat foundation. Simcity 4 was really good with that. I hope a mod ends up fixing that aspect.

No, that rule got abolished a few months back. That said, something like This LP would be cool, but I think the game needs more time to mature and mods to come out.

What's going on here? There's a small part of my city that's suddenly stopped getting electricity. It's adjacent to powered buildings, and building powerlines in has them work normally for a while and then shut off. I have enough power to support these buildings. Have I missed something? Does God hate these cims?

Does God hate these cims? Is that part of your city's power grid connected to the rest of your city? If that part of the city exists in an "island" of electricity, than the info view won't accurately reflect the power situation since it shows total consumption/production for the entire city.

Does God hate these cims? I ran into this same issue and it was because I had power sources in multiple locations, but I had broken a line somewhere and half my city was only receiving power from a couple of windmills instead of all my power generation sites. Ie. your grid is broken somewhere. The electricity availability meter can be misleading in cases like that since it's showing you what you generate in total, not what each building receives.

I seriously wanted to make a Galt's Gulch of unrepentant free market without any public services. All the buildings will burn and I shall have my supply of uneducated industrial drones  I think it could be done with the only way out being a freight train that delivers its goods to the more deserving cosmopolitan areas. I have this reclaimed valley I'm almost done pumping water from, anyway. Might decide to flood it later and make it a lost city to remind the people what happens when hubris reigns.

I actually tried to imagine what a city-building game with a conservative bent like the guy screencapped above would appreciate would be like. Near as I can tell it'd be one that mostly played itself, since almost anything you do (besides "build roads" I guess) is something they don't want the government doing, so it'd be the people (i.e. NPCs) doing almost everything. It probably wouldn't be a very fun game.

After getting over the initial bugs, holy crap is this game addictive. Been waiting ten years for this game. Here's my first city, taking it slow. Trying to get a feel for the traffic and roads with some experimentation:  Yep, definitely some issues there, mostly thanks to the haphazard way I laid down one-way roads in the beginning. There's also the cross-town strangler that developed thanks to one experiment where I made a giant one-way loop that connected to freeways. Later on in the game I was pretty screwed despite frantically putting in alternate routes:  I've started using some of the mods, good stuff. My first experiment with the "grid of the gods" seems to be going well. Now I just need to learn how to use it:

Dang You can take the greyscale heightmap into a paint program and tweak/edit it before importing, like brighten it up a bit and then 'paint' where the sea 'should' be in a darker color.

I wonder if it is possible for it to eventually calculate the 'view' as part of the value - I guess you could do it in the map editor like Tropico where you can zone some 'natural beauty' that if the house is in or near it gets a bonus of some sort.

How should I go about setting up a cargo freight train and a passenger train for my city? I have no outside connections for them. Almost entirely on accident I solved most of my traffic and trash problems and I've expanded across the river and my next real big challenge is better public transit. And also making less lovely grids and making what I've got better, but you know.

Hey guys made a layout that solves the traffic problem     How to solve your traffic problem: Just don't have traffic lights!  The only real "traffic" is where people come into the city via the highway, and I've literally never seen them have a big single file backup. It's just the only place in the entire city where the cars have to stop for a second.

 Breaking news for people trying to balance highways by balanced right and left exitsHighway traffic behavior is for through traffic to avoid "local lanes" which are those which have exits within a personally undetermined length. Nearby exits on the right and left will turn cims into crazy middle lane campers and render your highways as good as ramps.
