Followed a few hearses around. My biggest complaint with the game is they seem to randomly go all over the city, and pass up bodies on the way. In combination with the population all living exactly the same amount of time, this leads to spikes of dead people waiting transport that lasts for *years*. There's no traffic problems impeding them. Perhaps it goes by time of death? I suspect the other services do this too. Eagerly awaiting the (inevitable) mod to change this.

The behavior makes sense to me if you set up your city like I do: massive amounts of residential areas, especially high capacity, with a boom of adult influx. I've noticed my death graph works in cyclical generations as it should.

What's the typical percentage of people that should be using a combined commuter system anyway? I can never seem to go above ~10% in my games even after making it free and attempting to optimize the lines

Is there a reason to build more than one bus depot? Is there a cap on the number of lines per depot or anything like that?

The weekly commuters are how many people are on a train over the course of an in game week, so for you that means like 10% of your population is riding a train at basically any given time.

I made a few on my 25 tile map because it would take my buses a very long time to drive all the way to their routes. In most instances, no, you don't need more than one. As far as I'm aware a single depot can spawn a billion buses. turn off the TV fucked around with this message at 19:39 on Mar 24, 2015 |

Ok I just looked up NYC and Hong Kong riderships and i guess the number is a lot closer to reality than I thought. HK especially is a modern, efficient so I won't assume I can achieve anywhere near that number. assuming NYC's broken up ridership, since you can't transfer for free in a lot of places, it approaches 16% if, like in-game, the rider goes through 2 rides to work and back.

Forgive me if this has already come up, but is it at all possible to mod parks to be zonable? It seems annoying that if I have an oddly shaped plot of land I have to build something there or just leave it blank rather than being able to turn it into a little green. It also doesn't help that the stock parks are all enormous.

Why not make your own park in the asset editor? Edit: I suggest this since I don't know the answer to your question.

It is pretty annoying that most of the default parks don't fit into the standard grid, though. Edit: Supposedly you can rotate pre-built items like highway interchanges with the right mouse button, but it seems super random and the placement moves too instead of objects rotating in place. Am I missing something about this? onionradish fucked around with this message at 20:20 on Mar 24, 2015 |

that's interesting. i don't know why, but i've never really seen a mass die-off like that. I wonder if it's just because I play slowly

Yeah, that's likely why. After I hit about 70k I started zoning huge swaths at a time. My population graph definitely reflects that, it's fairly steady while I was zoning in bits and pieces, and then you can see the huge spike and subsequent die offs.

Yeah, what I usually do (even if I have a lot of stuff to zone) is zone a little bit, unpause, let it build somewhat, pause, keep zoning. Haven't seen mass die-offs yet. That way you don't have to gently caress about with putting down poo poo tons of power lines either, buildings are fine for a bit without power anyway.

I made one yesterday out of trash elements, need to make a few more for industrial areas. The editor does have odd values for price and entertainment, so you may want to step that down a bit. The only downside is they don't seem to get icons in the UI, so you should be careful when naming.

Egypt is building a new capital, traffic in Cairo being one of the major reasons why - traffic costs Egypt like 4% of their GDP or something, lotsa service vehicles being held up apparently! But then in the scale model they have things like this:  How are you going to have a stadium + stadium parking literally right off the major thoroughfare like that lol that road is going to be backed up for quite a ways. For reference:  I don't really get why they're planning a new city because of lovely traffic and overcrowding in Cairo but then they just plan a grid hell.

Welcome to Mars, Colonist. Shores of Utopia Planitia   http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=413390689 FINALLY DONE, or as much as I can tolerate after yesterday's snafu. I think it's much much better now in any case! Here's the changelog: quote:----------- CHANGES FROM THE BETA MAP ---------- Also if anyone could tell me if there getting a negative cash bug at the beginning? It was fine when I tested before publishing, but it's just to make sure. I was getting - 3 million something for some reason, but apparently fixed it by retaking a snapshot for the game preview from inside the border of the starting area (don't ask). Next to come : Martian architecture! I'll start with a small spaceport
