Just spent an autismal amount of time creating a massive circular road plan with bus routes and trains and metros and the moment I unpause for people to start moving in I get a never ending string of object reference errors that doesn't go away even after restarts. But I fixed it because I am super smart Immortal Wombat fucked around with this message at 00:49 on Apr 22, 2015 |

I get that they're trying to be nice but it just ends up causing more traffic and more bother.

I've driven in a lot of places, California drivers don't get commended enough. With the crazy numbers at play in the bay area and southern California the traffic clusterfucks are really not as bad as the could be. 880 was always bumper to bumper, but sometimes at up to 70mph and people would still signal and let you in.

I rather liked NYC driving too. The streets are complete anarchy but everyone makes it work somehow. If you gently caress up yeah they give you the business but when things are going well people let cars in when they need to and drive when they can.

This happened to me already. Also Traffic Manager and Traffic++ aren't compatible. Traffic Manager also doesn't work with Lane Changer or Toggle Traffic Lights.

It should be pretty drat obvious that different mods that affect the same functionality are not going to be compatible.

Just put this in bold in the OP: If there's a mod you want, Traffic++ isn't compatible with it.

The Traffic Manager mod says right in its description what mods its incompatible with. Read it first before installing it.

I feel like I read that traffic ++ DID work with traffic manager (and I actually had them working together for a few days). I probably just misread the mod description the first time but I remember wondering specifically if they were compatible and not seeing an issue. I'd like to think that the description changed recently but in all likelihood I'm just a retard who can't read.

The building level control mod is pretty nice. Locking high density residential to level 3 enables something resembling medium density.

The only downside is that mid level buildings leave a lot of empty gaps and with the enormous roads it makes everything look really barren. It only gets worse when you're building roads at weird angles. Filling the holes with trees works to an extent, but it would be better if the midlevel stuff would build out parking lots or landscaping to fill the available space.

I maintain hope that CO's definition of wall-to-wall buildings extends to stuff like this. I know it won't happen but I can dream.

I think it'd be kind of funny if there was a "recycling tanks" building that produced basic industrial resources from dead bodies. Basically I just want a complete set of mods for Cities: Alpha Centauri.

kaujot posted:Is there an easier way to build highways that curve? I can't get them lined up and it leaves weird gaps between them Build it in segments using the curve tool, where you specify a direction and endpoint for each segment. After each segment build a small perpendicular road piece out from the new end, using a two-lane road. Continue until you've built the entire highway you want. Now build the other side of the highway in the same direction, so both sides run the same way. Doing that makes it much easier to get matching curves. Use the grid-snapping on the two lane roads to control spacing between the two sides of the highway. It'll take some practice, but remember to carefully measure the position of the control point (first build step) on your curved roads. Positioning those right is central in making the spacing equal. After building both sides of the road, use the upgrade tool right-click to flip the lane direction of one side. Then remove the helper two-lane road segments.

kaujot posted:Is there an easier way to build highways that curve? I can't get them lined up and it leaves weird gaps between them I wish there was a full-width highway brush that just laid down both directions at once, like all the other roads. It seems odd that there isn't one, considering that's how they're usually used. I'm having a hard time thinking of anywhere other than interchanges and highway-based roundabouts where you don't want both directions running together, unless you're doing something unusual for aesthetic reasons.

There's so many road configurations that would make sense to have but just don't exist. Hopefully they're fixing some of that in the Big Update for Tunnels.

Split highways are super common once you get outside population centers. Some of it is safety and cost cutting, move the lanes apart and maybe you don't have to build a giant retaining wall to prevent cars from crossing into oncoming lanes. The other reason is to route around local terrain features.

The other reason is to route around local terrain features. Yeah, of course. The brush could easily leave a median between the highway segments, just like the four-lane roads. I'd assume that would be the default mode, really. Terrain is more of a reason to lay directions separately. I wouldn't want that option to go away or anything. Alternately, just add real UI support for building parallel roads. nielsm posted:There's so many road configurations that would make sense to have but just don't exist.

Yeah, maybe something where you shift+click on an existing road, it lets you snap a second road along that route. That would be pretty badass. Might generate glitches with the way the game auto-adjusts the terrain to make the surface flat but there's already a bunch of visual glitches with that component, what's one more?

TheGreySpectre posted:That being said how do you get industry to develop late game? I have a city of about 110k with like 4% unemployment and even if my people want industry, they won't actually work at the jobs in a newly zoned area. I just get "not enough workers" icons on pretty much every building. Seems like the level 3 buildings are fine but the level 1 buildings get permastuck at level 1 since no one wants to work there. In my current city I've had success breaking through this Catch-22. The key is to make sure everything is in place to allow industry to ascend to Level 3 really quickly — tons of parks (I use the Paradox Plaza thingy), tons of fire coverage, a police station, a bus route or two, and something random like a school or cemetery. Then zone industry. If I do it slowly enough, like an 8x8 block at a time, the new buildings will upgrade to level 3 even before they notice they don't have any employees. Annoyingly, this doesn't work for specialized industry, which is always Level 1. I'm hoping CO fixes this at some point because it makes no sense.

Actually, if you mouse over the level bar for specialized industrial buildings, the tooltip will inform you that they always start at maximum level, for whatever reason.
