MikeJF posted:I'm in this weird place where my city seems to have flattened out. Everyone's reasonably happy, traffic's not that bad, all my services are over capacity... but my RCI is zeroed out and new zones don't really want to grow. Any tips? Increase land value in residential areas so people want to move in? Although I had a major lull that was solved when I plopped down a University.

Starhawk64 posted:Do industrial areas need parks to upgrade? Seems kinda weird to plop a playground in the middle of smoke belching factories. Yup, that is why a few of us have been tinkering with Industrial themed "parks". Basically just parks that'll blend into the industrial zone while still providing desirability improvements to the zone. Noyemi has a few finished ones already.

I think I figured out my metro problem. Every stop that isn't being used isn't just on a one-way street, it's on the end of a T junction Can anyone else replicate this? Are metros not working when placed on T junctions a known issue? I just built a whole city based around it

xzzy posted:It takes like 5 minutes to make a custom park with the in-game tools. You specify how big the plot is, and plop whatever you want onto the space. You adjust the effectiveness of the park by setting a few numbers.  Didn't know it was that simple!Subyng posted:Just make your own in the asset editor ffs that's what it's there for. Wow, rude.

I "organically" build neighborhoods by roleplaying a contentious city council. When neighborhoods are built they are usually fused grid. Then I role play the state transportation dept coming in a building roads with no real relation to anything the locals want. This creates realistic looking cities.

Turn that map into a rotating cylinder, build lots of space ports and space bars, go all Revelation Space Glitter Band/Rust Belt up in here.

DEO3 posted:Are there any parking lot sets that have in-game icons? I love me some parking lots, but I can't stand when my menus are cluttered with those stupid 'no preview available' icon. Yeah, I want to figure out how to do that before I put out any asset editor stuff (the only things I'm capable of). Duck and burger posted:
It is! I just loaded the game up and threw this simple thing together in about 3 minutes. Including load times.

bitcoin bastard posted:Do preview icons work at all? It seems like the snapshot feature is work in progress, doesn't even have any kind of confirmation that you took a snapshot, and it seems to only work for the load/save dialog, and not in game. Yeah there's some way to make it work, most things that come out now a days have a menu icon, so modders have figured it out, I have no idea how it's done though.

On that topic, industries seem to be enormous fire hazards, necessitating like three times as many fire stations in the area to keep them at maximum fire safety. I don't know if you need them that high for them to level up, but at least it seems to prevent fires.

I don't know if you need them that high for them to level up, but at least it seems to prevent fires. I feel like no matter how many fire stations I put up, poo poo gets burned down all the time. There could be a fire station right next to a burning building and all 25 engines just sit there twiddling their thumbs. It feels like services are bugged in that the closest service is not summoned for an event; rather, a random one is chosen and if it's halfway across the map then you're screwed.

Have you never met a rich/educated person? They waste nothing and consume less than the uneducated working class, flicking their cigs on the pavement and tossing their fast food wrappers in the park. Their betters recycle and sort their trash of course.

cthulhoo posted:Anything in this game related to eco-related stuff is absolutely hilarious in its naivety. Yeah I don't know if they actually did any research or just pulled numbers out of their butts. But actually by the way pollution works, noise pollution is just as bad as ground pollution, except windmills and poo poo have a bigger radius and you need a ton of them. You pay more for fossil fuels or nuclear but they save space as they don't create as much polllution. Like a single oil plant pollutes a tiny bit around its self but you just need the one. Wind makes a huge circle of noise pollution and you need a million of them. So in a sense of a mindless need for "game balance" it makes sense. Basically their pollution model is pretty bad. Air pollution should effect huge areas and be carried by the wind.

For anyone interested in this game but new to city builders, you should take a look at this guide on starting a new city: https://imgur.com/a/LuzAc It's great. Not only because it covers the basics, but because it walks you through all the steps and upgrades you should make all the way up to 10k citizens. It should really be in the OP.

I had 40+% fire hazard and almost no burn-downs for the longest time in a long-grid/angled-grid city. I only just added fire coverage to increase land value. Corpses everywhere all the time, though.
