Does this game not do traffic signals or stop signs? For my first city, I've started out with a pretty typical small American-style town with a number of gridded two-way streets, and the four-way intersections don't appear to have any traffic control. It's just a free-for-all of passing through, turning, and merging.

Which leads to a lot of roundabouts made of freeway so that they work like they should in reality.

Taking the lessons I've learned from my first city and remembering the fact that water towers exist, my Zion map is an amazing city and is really enjoyable to play. Making subways, rail, and road lines curving around cliffs is sweet. I even made mountain monasteries in a few places that could only be accessed by the marathon-length ring of pedestrian paths that weave through the map. Hovers around 15% commuter usage and every street is an efficient 2-lane road with little to no backups anywhere. Thanks to Whoever suggested the map and the advice that 2 lane roads in this game are OP.

Spooky Bear Ghost posted:*stops suddenly to let someone into the roundabout* I grew up near a small city that had the only roundabout in the entire, very rural, region. It freaked everyone out, and hilariously operated by its own rules. Somehow drivers decided to always let someone into the roundabout, so it become convention that traffic simply alternated. If you were trying to get in, you'd let a car pass, then the next car would let you in. It worked pretty well really but was confusing for anyone out of town. They changed it to a proper roundabout a few years ago, makes me a bit sad.

Is he right about multi-lane roundabouts at the end there? Do cars only use the outermost lane since they need to get into it to turn off? What if you have multi-lane one-way exits, do those let cars turn off a roundabout from an inner lane? I wonder if the devs have any plans to make traffic smarter about lane usage. It seems like it should be possible to get them to go around blockages, especially. Probably more complicated than it looks, but I'm sure it could be done.

KakerMix posted:Well see what you do is That is loving amazing, your cims are actually using all the lanes available to them! I constantly see traffic piling up on 6-lane streets because the bastards all want to make a right turn. Even if it isn't the same right turn, they still use only the single lane, including emergency vehicles. In Sheffield Park you have a busy 6 lane turning left into another 6 lane, and it flows so smoothly. On the other hand at the bottom of Coltan Row you have them lining up on the right, that's what I'm used to. I don't understand why it works differently.

Oh geez I just updated and loaded a city full of abandoned buildings. I had to replace all the small parks and community pools to raise land values again. Nice to see it wasn't only me.  oddly enough my population didn't plummet and I'm still making the same amount.

What if you have multi-lane one-way exits, do those let cars turn off a roundabout from an inner lane? Not sure precisely. Cars are aware of an "exit" lane and will avoid that lane if they don't intend to exit, so I believe cars will use the inside lanes briefly if they don't want the next exit. I don't think I've ever seen cars distribute themselves across a multilane exit.

Started a new city, trying to make a city where people can walk everywhere and the AI is doing a good job of choosing the walkways instead of driving everywhere. I set up the walkways to take people from door-to-door (residential > commercial > industrial). They run like spines along major areas of the city. Example:  Traffic:  Blown up shot:  I haven't even added in bus lines yet because I haven't had a need to. Most people just walk everywhere, I have even noticed that some of my citizens work on one part of town and will walk across the river to work on the other side.

Peds will walk on sidewalks just fine too. I'm not sure all the elevated walkways actually get people to walk more. I think you could have gotten the the level of walking just by making sure all your dead end roads were connected with a short at-grade path near crosswalks. The whole "fused grid" approach.

BobTheJanitor posted:Hey, Zonable Pedestrian Paths is back, by itself, and from the original modder no less. Looks like we're not dealing with a crazy prima-donna. Rejoice in your working paths, without broken feature creep. Yeah, I've been using Traffic++ for the zoneable paths and now I have a few neighborhoods consisting of those paths so I can't really turn the mod off without a bunch of fuckery so I've just been dealing with no traffic arrows on the roads and whatever, but the modder seems like a cool dude at least if you read through the comments and bug reports on Traffic++ The last update on that mod added in 6 lane roads with bus lanes on them (so like 4 lanes regular traffic and 2 bus lanes) and it also added bus stops and bus routes on the zoneable paths. The latter part is what hosed stuff up apparently - if you read the thread on the mod page he says it's because he's basically working against the game trying to get vehicles traveling on pedestrian paths. It's not weird crazy traffic changes or anything like that, I feel like people are giving him a bad rap. Moridin920 fucked around with this message at 18:06 on Mar 27, 2015 |

It's a mistake, he's saying please submit bug reports if you have 'em so he can figure out why exactly it's happened. He added an option to the mod (there's an options menu for it if you look at the mods in the content manager in game) that is labeled 'arrow fix' but since that isn't working for everyone he also uploaded the last stable version. According to him the trouble is coming from trying to override the 'no vehicles on pedestrian paths' code but idk that's out of my depth. I'm just glad he's at least acknowledging there's a problem and trying to fix it instead of going 'THIS IS ALL PART OF MY MASTER PLAN' like the oblivion gate guy.

What are people using as a standard freeway on/offramp setup? Been experimenting with different setups involving roundabouts under elevated highway but they're kind of a pain in the rear end to set up and take a lot of room. Would be interested to see what is working well for people. Also, how should I be using resources? Like for forestry, do I need to place my zones in the middle of a forest or is the idea that guys are out cutting wood somewhere and can bring it back to my industrial zone?

It's going to be fun seeing people try and do "realistic" mods and slap "2048x2048" textures on every building they can and then express surprise at the eventual lag. Which reminds me I'll have to look up for some kind of building guideline before making mine, I'm not sure what standardization the ones in the game use right now.

DEO3 posted:Third patch in under a month, I like the cut of these guys' jib. Never played a title published by paradox before? Their own in house games tend to be patched monthly and sometimes multiple times in a month if DLC is added. EUIV is on patch 1.11.4 now, and that only came out in August 2013. There were 5 patches in March, 2 in Feb, 4 in Dec. Of those 11 patches, 2 were major patches which changed quite a lot. I fully expect this to be strongly supported by the devs. e; i want that ugly loving building yesterday, I want this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DOyBvBwWdY) to describe my city

What is even in it? I have to imagine it is all huge conference rooms, because if not most of the rooms in the building won't even have windows and thus no natural light, which does not sound like a good idea.

Then add a bunch of They Live billboards. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=413685714 Max out the population too somehow. Then it will be complete, the final vision of human society will be realized. Magnasanti, the sequel. The utopia.
