Is there a way in game to remove a subscribed growable? I can't remember which one is which and if I find an ugly one I want to be able to at least see the name of it and remove it.

It's normal for me, after a while of play I usually close/restart the game because it's using basically all of my CPU and like 5 gigs of RAM.

Rejoice, for this is a game that properly benefits from multicore CPUs and large swathes of RAM. Remember that free memory is wasted memory, and unused CPU cycles are wasted cycles. If the software/games you run aren't peaking things out, you overspent on hardware. CSL will spend every cycle on every core it can get, on simulating your city.

I picked it up from the thread, started playing it and then kinda tuned everything out. It's an amazing map. Especially the river/waterfall that's giving me 1.5K MW. Yeah, glad people are enjoying it. Which waterfall is it, the one on the main island or the smaller one? Getting them set up right is really hellish though, it can take a long time for water to settle into its proper flow without sloshing about. Its actually my second go at the map since the first time I just worked directly off a height map and the scale was completely hosed up. Designing and playing it has given me lots of ideas on what to do on future maps. Highways and railroads are going to have to be elevated, for one.

What's the best way to use civilian walkways? Do you have to plan them out before you start, or is it possible to bolt them onto existing city blocks? I have trouble with them, since you can't zone behind them for whatever reason.

No attaching zones or services to them (unless you mod). They take up one square and you place them like roads.

None of my tactics to get more people to use buses is working. Is bus use supposed to be this low? like its probably less than 1 percent from my calculations.

There a ton of factors playing into this, the best way to gauge your public transportation usage is by looking at the percentage of trips saved and how full individual vehicles are. You also need to be laying down buses, rail and metro in accordance with traffic. My map is laid out in such a way so that I have rail stations serving as regional hubs, with buses and metro picking people up around each part of my city and sending them to the rail station. From there they can hop on other buses, get on the subway, or take a train to another major part of the city. Basically, you want a setup that looks like this:  Also, keep in mind that when you lay down bus route the smiley faces that pop up show that those buildings are in range of your stops. You can space them out pretty far apart. e: Also keep in mind that the numbers in the data screen are a little deceiving because an in game week is not a very long time at all. It takes my population over a month to get from one end of my map to the other by rail. It takes an entire day just to board a train. turn off the TV fucked around with this message at 00:28 on Mar 23, 2015 |

Having said that, for my second city which is up to 35 thou, I've got a simple metro system with two routes on a Y and that seems to be quite effective, even with the two routes having a few stations in common.

Anyone have any advice on trying to get a heightmap in this area? https://www.google.com/maps/@60.1446865,-149.4104266,12z?hl=en terrain.party doesn't seem to support latitudes that high. There's gotta be an elevation map somewhere I can convert. Though, if the game only processes elevations from 0-1000m, the point might be moot anyway. Those mountains (and the icefield nearby) are pretty drat high.

zedprime posted:Oh in that case I think I figured it out. Try changing these red circled intersections (and any other multilanes) to single lanes. I think the cims are getting confused about what is and isnt a local lane and trying to beeline far away from anything resembling a multi lane off/on ramp. That fixed it, thanks!

Trick Question posted:Yeah, but pedestrians will walk on sidewalks like normal people, right? And I've never seen traffic stop for a pedestrian, so why and when would I use walkways? Sidewalks require roads, though, and more roads mean more traffic. The point of pedestrian paths is traffic reduction. If you want to connect your neighborhoods together without delivery trucks deciding to use them as a shortcut, use pedestrian paths. Also you can elevate them, so you can make a pedestrian crossing from your residential to a nearby commercial or industrial area and people will walk there instead of driving. Pedestrians will cross at crosswalks, but you don't get crosswalks unless you build an intersection, which slows traffic. Also if you make a roundabout out of highway sections, that doesn't come with any sidewalk, so you'll have to provide paths on your own. Metro entrance across the 6 lane road from the neighborhood? Elevated walkway. High school is right behind the neighborhood but the way there by roads requires going out to the main street and back? Add a path. I love pedestrian paths, and I've been using them all over in my city. They do have to join up to something else walkable on both ends, usually this means a sidewalk or some parks. Otherwise your cims will never be able to route to them. You can tell if they're working, because cims will start using them almost immediately. And every one of those tiny people on your path is traffic not using your roads to go somewhere. Plus once you've built a path you get to line it with trees and then admire your beautiful path. What's not to love?

Designing and playing it has given me lots of ideas on what to do on future maps. I used the one that's on the same starting island/landmass as the starting road connection. It actually settled pretty damned fast, though it fluctuated between 1k-1.2k for a good while before finally settling closer to 1K. Took me a good while to find the spot though, as you mentioned it was hard to find a good spot. I've sense put my water treatment plants behind it to get 1.5K when I'm using maybe a third of that.

So I was playing with the Population rebalance and slower aging mods, and I ended up with tons more children than adults, and needed a truly absurd amount of schools to try and fix the problem, and it just wasn't working. of course, I try to turn them off and the city won't load anymore. Time to try again!

I'm playing with big roads seriously now, and is there a way to merge roads without intersections? Like two one-way roads merging into a single two way road, and vise versa.

Basic rule of thumb is that any mod that alters gameplay roots itself into your save and becomes required for you to be able to properly load it, because without it the simulation would freak the gently caress out at all the sudden changes.

Man I was enjoying this game when I first started playing it but after remembering how attached I was to my city in Simcity (Despite how bad the game was), I felt pretty bummed to have to start from square one again. Now after a few sessions my city (And its terrible, terrible road planning) is starting to snowball into something worth caring about and I've only used two tiles of land so far and there's so much to do and watching it grow is so rewarding and oooohhh

I'm kind of wavering between working with the flaws of my current city, BULLDOZING THE gently caress OUT OF ITS HEART, or just starting a new city all over with lessons learned.
