In a mod community of the size and scope of C:S', I would think it makes perfect sense to want to establish a reputation for making poo poo that is performance-efficient and hassle-free right away.

Any ideas why I wouldn't have the Zen Garden? I didn't pre-order but it should now be a part of the base game, and I still don't have it. I tried doing the verify integrity of game cache thing but that didn't work, and it's not DLC either. Would a complete reinstall help maybe? edit: nm, just read a post that said it would come in a patch this week uXs fucked around with this message at 12:22 on Apr 7, 2015 |

 How the hell do I use the asset editor to make a highway intersection? If I don't make the bridge the highest it can be, it will always say "slope too steep" if I try to place it on even slightly elevated ground on my actual map. If I make it as high has it can be, I can't get a ramp away from it because it either clips through the side of the bridge or it says "slope is too steep" even if the ramp is the exact same height  E: It works if I angle it the other way around, even though that lane is going left to right. What the gently caress

You're making the ramps too short. If you make them as short as possible they won't fit on anything but incredibly flat terrain. Make them a few squares longer and it'll fix a lot of the "Slopes too steep" problems.

If I delte the other ramp, this one works fine. Kinda amazing how sloppy ramps work.

Looks like a patch went out this morning, 1.0.7c. Don't see any gameplay changes, mostly looks like fixes related to modding. quote:Patchnotes 1.0.7c (incl. 1.0.7b and 1.0.7)

Then started adding it into a collection of very popular mods that he took control of when the original authors stopped working on them. He wrote it in such a way that even if you deleted the mod, any mod that included it would just re-install it without telling you. There was no opt-in, you had to create a config file telling it to not send information.

Not sure, I stopped following KSP myself. I know Squad updated their policy to squash most of it so I assume everything's peachy these days. Also, I really like my city. The way stuff grows organically and eventually starts to look like a real city (including a bunch of questionable decisions) is really neat.

I agree. Reading it, it just sounds like an extra API that other mods can use, and taking care that it does everything cleanly and safely. I haven't looked at the code or anything but I can't find anything wrong with it judging from just the description.

New Map from Scotland Tom, who made the map I'm currently playing/really enjoying ( Powhatan Valley): Tenasi River   It looks like it's got a really nice, claustrophobic-yet-expandable river valley city feel with lots of opportunity for some cool architectural elements.

I really hope this game gets a Cities of Tomorrow style DLC. While Simcity 2013 was a hot mess, I think the expansion has some neat ideas, like the Megatowers and OmegaCo. This game already takes place in the near future, let me futurize the crap out of my city! High tech housing isn't enough! Being able to build huge arcologies would be sweet. Yes, I am one of those weirdos who used the Future and 2050 tilesets in Simcity 2000. wafflemoose fucked around with this message at 17:25 on Apr 7, 2015 |

Public service announcement: For those having trouble making an aesthetically pleasing city, here's one thing you can stop doing: Stop making curved roads with sharp kinks in them. It looks sooo poo poo. Curved road segments need to be tangent to each other dammit!

I want grid snap because it forces the dotted line to come straight out of the road (which is what you want), but then after clicking to place the dotted line target, I have to go back down and turn off grid snapping for most of the things I use curved roads for.

Get the growth stage limiting mod, set your district to any max stage you want. I like making large areas of level 1 or level 2 residential, looks the most "realistic" I found. Not quite wall to wall 5-6 story buildings but as close as you can currently get. \/ Most of those are just CiM1 buildings imported. Those type of buildings also look awful in the skylines zoning system. Plus no way to limit styles yet. CO is working on something though and I'm really curious how they're going to implement it.

Baronjutter, since you love European style so much, there are currently a bunch of growable "Belgian" style buildings on the workshop that might suit you, although I personally haven't tried any.

Those look amazing but without the ability to specify themes for a district it'll probably look wonky. I'd settle for ploppable but I don't think you can plop residential buildings.

Just don't turn on the highrise ban after you already have highrises. Existing highrises aren't grandfathered in, they get destroyed.
