crabrock posted:My death rate DID spike and my birth rate is super low, so maybe? I zoned a bunch of new residential and it sits there blank. It has water and power connections, tons of parks, and is even preloaded with all the services. BUT the RCI is nothing, nothing, sliver. What are your demographics like? Did you lose all your working-age people somewhere along the line? Not that that would explain why new people won't move in if you have available jobs and residential zones.

My first proper city is now pretty much done.  Tinkering with the traffic and highways was really fun. Might have gone bit overboard with it, but it works, traffic flows and stuff gets delivered from 5 discreet industrial areas peppered around town. Even after zoning tons of commerce for the 10k zoned commerce park, the city still exports three times as much as it imports.  Terraced hillside houses have a premium view over the city, including the downtown region.  Which is mostly residential and offices, so traffic is relatively calm here.  Well, that's my city. Thanks for visiting!

I feel like a lot of problems can be alleviated by doing things bit by bit instead of all once. Dezone a little bit, let the sim run, dezone some more.

That's how I did it when I switched my starting area from mixed commercial / residential to all commercial to make it a "downtown" area. I'd do like 20% switch then let it run a couple cycles

I have a question about garbage dumps. Will they accumulate garbage over time or is it based on population numbers? So like, if I let my game run overnight just to generate money, will the garbage eventually accumulate to 100% even on a tiny town?

I came back the next morning to $5m in the bank, 3 full landfills, and an empty town. E: Basically I won the game I think, except there's no Swiss Bank Account option like in Tropico. E2: Yeah it does fill up a little bit with each garbage truck load, so even a single house will eventually fill up a landfill.

The second was around 70% full Right but assuming your population stays at 20K for say 100 in game years, will you eventually fill a bunch more dumps or will it not increase because the population isn't increasing? If it's the former, I want to make a tiny 100 year old city city surrounded by a sea of garbage dumps.

I'm pretty sure garbage accumulates over time, it's not just a static value based on population.

There's an info window/graph that pops up when you select a garbage facility and everything. It shows you how much trash your town produces per week, available landfill space, and incinerator capacity. VVV Not to mention the built-in infinite money cheat.

Leaving the game on for money is useless. Just play normally and soon you'll be making loving oodles of it without trying. Yesterday when I was trying to make an island with dams (why did i buy a plot of land that was 95% water?) I started with 6 mil, and when I looked again I had 2 mil. Apparently making and deleting all those damns... they were like $400,000 a pop. Just kind of shrugged and was back up to 4 mil in a bit. When you're making +50,000 it really doesn't matter. until all your people die apparently...

Has anyone had issues where random industrial buildings have no power, even though they are in the middle of a bunch of other buildings with power? Not my screenshot, but it's just like this: http://i.imgur.com/Tej3AZV.jpg (I found this on a Steam discussion from a guy with the same issue, but he got a bunch of useless replies) I have WAY more power production than consumption. I actually fixed it temporarily by building a power plant nearby them, but then it started happening again in the same area.

Are all your power generators part of the grid? Because it might be split and this part of your city isn't getting enough from the generators that are connected.

Fish Fry Andy posted:That's 100% the point of offices. I have to say, I really liked Cities XL's model for offices. Heavy industry requires Office output to consume, so if you want to be more than a series of small production facilities you need an office district for all the headquarters. Similarly, CS could really do well with their citizen model -- Poor/Medium/Rich + Traditional/Moderate/Hippie gives you a matrix containing your bohemians at one corner, your tycoons at the other, and then your snazzy movie stars and blue-collar joes at the other corners. Each liked different things and did different jobs, so it really gave the neighborhoods a lot more unique feel.

Can someone help explain the simulation to me? When people go out to jobs or whatever, are they just doing tasks over and over? Like does Jim Fucker get up, drive to work, then come back in some endless loop? And the same with delivery vehicles? Or is there some sort of cycle to it, like Jim goes to work, comes home for a while, then goes to buy poo poo, comes back etc so that every agent averages out. I am using a mod that reduces traffic despawning when you have jams (to be more realistic) and it seems to make more obvious that everyone lives in their car.

Cims periodically set out from their houses to do things. Go to work/school, possibly go shopping, go home. If you have hell-traffic and cars set to not despawn, yes, everyone will spend forever on the road. In a city without traffic problems, it's a lot easier to see the cycles of a cim leaving their house, driving to work, sitting at work for a few in-game 'days', leaving work and maybe going shopping, waiting at the shopping location for a while, then heading home to stay there for a few more in-game days.

Antti posted:I keep getting this with timber industry occasionally. Spamming power lines everywhere fixes it. I think the mechanism where power transfers from building to building in an area is not working properly with some of the timber industry lots. So I fixed it by building a power line directly from my main power generators to my industrial district's power blob/grid. The main power generators are 2 grids away. Is there some limit to power transfering through multiple power lines + power grids? I assumed as long as it was connected to a power generator somehow, no matter how indirectly, that things would get power edit: ok it's just totally bugged. I do just have to keep spamming power lines everywhere or random sections of my city lose power Magnitogorsk. fucked around with this message at 02:14 on Apr 3, 2015 |

Bold Robot posted:My oil industry is suddenly going tits up because of a lack of customers. What do I need to build to make customers for oil? They were fine for years before this. Did you install the Nissan LEAF® DLC? The advanced lithium-ion battery powers the 100% electric drive system, giving the Nissan LEAF® the equivalent of 126 MPGe in the city. You’ve never driven anything like the Nissan LEAF®, and you’ve probably never felt anything like its instant torque. The power is there when you touch the pedal. There is no lag, no revving-up or shifting gears, it just goes. When we say 100% electric, we mean it. The Nissan LEAF® doesn’t even have a gas tank. You’ll never fill up again. Sounds liberating, doesn’t it?

Redesign your road network so that all three of them are more distantly separated or have roughly equal road access and they'll use them.

I've been playing around with the asset editor and I came up with a few fun buildings. Here is a private investigator and securities firm. It's filled with Dicks and Femmes Fatales. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=418610812  I was getting tired of having to place giant cemeteries in the middle of my city, so I made a smaller and more efficient cemetery in a 5x4 footprint. It holds 3x the amount of corpses as a regular cemetery by burying the corpses vertically! They are dead, they don't mind. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=418591375  This is a silly veterinarian clinic that's plastered with various animals. There is a big stupid neon pink octopus on it. It functions with twice the efficiency as a regular medical clinic. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=418059439  I also made a Fire Fighting Squad complete with two water bombing helicopters. Get dunked on. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=418621913
