Tin Hat posted:How does the game know if there are enough workers then? Is it just based off of population numbers? More or less, one of the data views gives the actual employment figures and the number changes constantly. I think it uses the traffic system to generate a percentage chance that a job gets filled, because zones with bad transportation off in the distance tend to have issues staying staffed. But it's definitely not SC2013 style where an agent has to drive from a house to a job for that job to get filled.

Tin Hat posted:How does the game know if there are enough workers then? Is it just based off of population numbers? Yep, and workers prioritize jobs of highest education level they can do, but that seems to be it. It can be physically impossible for the workers to get to their workplace and things will still work out.

zedprime posted:I think the devs have stated job placement is based on education, then distance. Satellite industrial and commercial areas get low priority due to their distance. I'm pretty sure that this is impacted by your cims driving to work. My industrial district was having really horrible unemployment problems until I fixed road traffic around it and added a rail network from my new housing development on the opposite tile of my map to the industrial zone.

zedprime posted:Their idea of distance might be based on a calculated travel time then? I know from my city its the uneducated jobs at the furthest fringes of city limits that get left unfilled after a retirement wave. I could see random commutes being used to determine distance. I obviously don't know how the simulation works, but I've run into a few situations where it seemed like people actually had to make it into work from time to time to keep industrial jobs running. It seems like it acts like a check where every so often a cim has to clock in or the game thinks that there aren't workers. e: Jet Jaguar posted:Sirens aside, this game is very pretty.

Zones will build regardless if they have power. Just wait for the first one to pop up, and build towers to that and the rest will be powered from there.

Bob le Moche posted:The game doesn't actually care whether workers can make it to their workplace. The cars are just for show and for slowing down service vehicles. That's cool, I've always played these games like they're my own little bonsai tree/model railroad/zen garden or whatever. I just like making natural pretty looking towns and have never given a poo poo about the simulation aspect - but I can totally understand how a proper simulation would be really important to people. Fortunately for you, there's a mod for that. quote:Added a wealth counter to residential buildings, every time a worker leaves for work or to shop it goes down, when the worker succeeds in reaching their destination it goes up. Your tax rate affects the amount it goes up by. Needs to pass a threshhold to level up the building, and the building will get abandoned if it gets too low (will show low land value problem).

Combined metro/bus terminal working well. Currently servicing about 6000 people a week with an 80k population. I need to combine it with rail, now, but the map is hilly and it's hard to build.

I really hate how subways work in this game. The UI for the routes is bad, the attach points for the train stations are bad, and needing a 2x2 plot to place a stop is bad too.

I kinda wish there was just an auto routing system for trains/buses/etc like SC4. Because there's a point in the game where you're just like 'gently caress it' because as your city grows your input becomes more high level. I like to nit-pick when something becomes a problem, or more interestingly - a puzzle - which you want to solve. Much how a lot of us tend to spend way too much time fixing that _one_ intersection because it's a fun problem to solve. I was thinking the bus/metro/train lines could do that as well, basically auto route until issues appear to which you delve into with manual line management. Funnily enough, prison Architect does this and I think it's the perfect solution - AI tries to figure out the best solution until the player wants to manually override it.

Tin Hat posted:Am I mistaken, or does it look like ambulances stop for red lights/won't drive in the oncoming traffic lane? I guess that'd be difficult to program, but no wonder they're not getting anywhere. Unless I've missed it, I think they act very much like normal traffic. I kinda wish they'd find a way to make them at least ignore some of the rules.

I'd say the same of the routes for busses. It's especially annoying that all the routes show up at the same time and you can't routes other than the one you're working on. I do like that busses don't need their own plot, that drove me nuts in SC4. 2x2 plots are a little annoying for the metro though. It doesn't bother me as much because I've only used a few stops so far.

Is there a transit capacity mod out there? A small town will fill a max funded metro and a tiny village will fill a bus route, it's crazy. Actually what we need is a traffic mod that just tones down the amount of traffic in general. Would this be possible? Like just decrease the rate that residential buildings send out people?
