Well, at 45k I can see no difference between the different speeds of simulation, even with graphics turned down/off. I'm wishing for natural disasters (or unnatural ones, like Godzilla) now that I've pretty much worked out the traffic issues and transitioned to primarily office space industry.

Poop death aside, I have a question. I subscribed to a small number of mods on the workshop. Interchanges and game mods are working fine, but building mods aren't showing for me. I've only added a small handful. Rural fire station, box factory, and a recycling centre. For some odd reason these aren't showing in the game for me. The box factory should be growable, the other two are plops.

GrossMurpel posted:I tried to implement the frontage road system to the best of my limited abilities.  Here's how it looks in my old city. I put the frontage roads almost underneath the freeway, so I had to have the ramps merge from the outside: Or, if you want to avoid weaving, you can have the ramps cross each other. No Texas U-Turns on these though: Think of the frontage roads as a normal 2-way road that happens to have a freeway running through the middle of it. You want access from one side of the freeway to the other via the overpasses (or underpasses), and you want access from the frontage road to the freeway and vice versa.

The 50% crime unlock is loving hard to get. I read some guides but I just can't quite get it. Anyone manage this? Any tips?

Start a new city, get up until about the point when you get police stations or schools. Dezone all your commercial and industrial, rezone commercial and industrial as needed to prevent your city from imploding.

So it's correct that you have to cross to the other frontage road first if you want to hop on the other side of the highway? Good, I think I understood it correctly then. The idea of almost layering them on top of each other to save a bit of space is nice, highrise buildings right up against the highway look cool as hell.

I kinda miss the no power/water requirements for low density low value housing in the simcity (4) games. So many newbies I've watched play this game get bankrupted by mistake because of the power/water requirements and building really expensive pumps and power plants.

GrossMurpel posted:I tried to implement the frontage road system to the best of my limited abilities. Those off/on ramps on the left side are really short. If they lead into a traffic light, one red light could back up multiple cars/trucks into the highway. In my experience, if you have any traffic at all, this will be a problem.

crabrock posted:i think he's talking about how trains leaving your map, jam up off screen. this goes all the way back into your town, and jams up all your trains. then the whole column only moves by one train at a time. Yeah, that is the problem. I haven't messed around with double, much less triple, railroad lines but I can see how my short triangles could be contributing to the problem. The main problem is the trains backing up of the map into my main rail network and messing up my freight and commuter trains. Really hope this problem gets fixed soon because it's really annoying and I'm just starting to get good at the game. edit: my strategy for dealing with traffic is to have traffic for a large area flow in a loop from one end of a highway interchange to another, coupled with the traffic trident and dual one-way streets in the busiest areas. Try and put in overpass-bypasses if you have a busy intersection. Adding lanes goes a huge way towards solving problems but only if you know how to use them and make traffic diverge into as many lanes as possible. Add loops off of loops and put most of the small roads off of those secondary loops to avoid intersections on the main trunks. Zeno-25 fucked around with this message at 02:17 on Apr 6, 2015 |

I'm going for this now with a city with over $3 million in the bank just seeing what happens if I burn it all. So far I got the oppression office, but crime sits stubbornly in the mid-20s.

One of the achievements is to have -1 money. Does it just mean negative or do you have to have exactly -1?

I uploaded some smaller plaza parks to the workshop, nothing fancy, except for the fancy theme of the parks themselves. No new models or anything and default stats. I might make some more in different smallish dimensions in the next day or two: http://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=419745533

My latest monstrosity. Up to 65k now with minimal traffic jams. I was honestly only going for "not grids" but it ended up working really well. The "percolators" and 6 way intersections in the industrial areas are especially useful. Whoever suggested using highway onramps to feed the cargo harbor, THANK YOU! poo poo moves so fast that I usually have 3-4 boats overlapping haha

Without the hyper aggressive traffic and a percentage of your population dying on the roads it can't be Houston.

Barn Owl posted:Without the hyper aggressive traffic and a percentage of your population dying on the roads it can't be Houston. Now that I think about it, my Oil industry district is pitifully small, and only a few major roads are so packed, instead of everywhere else. That and the Crime rate is just shy of 6%, but that's probably because there's no scenario where a neighboring state suffered a hurricane or something, so forget what i said.

It's not Houston until a bus full of senior citizens dies because you refuse to open contraflow lanes.

I made a bus loop that was completely separated from any roads, it only connected to pedestrian paths. Not long after I added it, I saw a car zooming along so I paused and checked things out. It was a cim going to work at the bus depot. Not taking the bus to work and somehow warping their car into the bus only road.
