Slashrat posted:Couldn't the performance hit be significantly mitigated by having a practical speed limit for each stretch of road that is calculated based on congestion on that stretch, and have the path-planner use that instead of the normal speed limit? Then the simulation would only need to do a single pass over the roads at regular intervals to update the practical speed limits, and the planner would become less likely to pick the congested paths.

Welcome future XBone owners of Skylines. Somehow I bet its easier to make repeatable curves with a controller.

I can't imagine it'll play that well with a controller for the rest of the game, though. Although... isn't the XBone about to introduce native mouse support? Maybe Skylines'll work with that.

zedprime posted:I think there's aspects of that already in that mod and it ends up being the practical implementation. That is a monster of a concept to load balance in a dynamic system when you are locking in paths at agent creation. You need to get the refresh time and the weighting just right to prevent creating a traffic storm with a roving traffic jam that shifts to wherever the traffic wasn't a moment ago. Yeah this would make for amazing harmonic traffic patterns, eventually it would turn in to a sort of beat matching music game, only with cars as the bass line visualizer, and the user interface incredibly oblique and laggy

I wonder how much CPU time it would take for every car taking a route to adjust the route speed slightly downward (for the purposes of route calculation) for X amount of time, say, six ingame hours. It wouldn't matter if the paths didn't change values instantly (for parallelization) because it'd balance as traffic grows.

The first expansion pack is supposed to be announced at Gamescom which starts tomorrow. Apparently there will be bikes, hopefully with bike lanes. I long for trams...

SelenicMartian posted:Yay, even denser traffic. Well in real life dedicated cycle lanes take cars off the roads as more and more people feel safe cycling... SC4 style farms would be great. Also I would really appreciate an official sea wall tool where you can just draw them instead of continually having to plop loads of puzzle pieces down. I'm guessing this is unlikely to happen though.

If they add bike paths I hope they'll allow them in tunnels. That'd make things so much easier to plan them into the city.MikeJF posted:I can't imagine it'll play that well with a controller for the rest of the game, though.

I played the poo poo of that game. I also only ever had the SNES version of SimAnt. But having played the PC version years later, the SNES version seems slightly superior in some ways.

I've only known people who disliked it because its so disproportionately loud compared to the other city sound effects.

Sober posted:Expanded City Services: Criminals will now be taken to Prison from Police buildings. Taxi service will help citizens and tourists travel around the city. Cargo hubs are harbors that accept cargo trains straight to the terminal. International airport is a huge airport, allowing much more traffic than the previous airport. It has a metro station attached to it. Bus terminal allows citizens to transfer to other bus lines in the terminal building. I have such an enormous infrastructure boner right now.

What's the point of airports if they haven't made tourism less useless? I notice zero effect from having an airport or cruise ship dock or not, the tiny trickle of tourists doesn't even pay for the facility's upkeep let alone have any effect on your economy.

My small island city had so many tourists pouring in through two different ports that the boats were colliding and glitching out and I had to develop a road network specifically to alleviate traffic issues. Like the traffic was almost as bad as the cargo port.

Has anyone tried to replicate the insanity of the Texas highway system? I just got back from my first trip to Austin & San Antonio and was completely blown away with how insanely different it was. I've found a few workshop assets but I'd like to see if anyone had any suggestions before I spend days trying to set it up and inevitably screwing it up.

That particular interchange is *only* about 40 units in the diagonal, but a whopping ~150 in length for the merges to look sweet and tidy. Get precision engineering, fine road heights, and probably no pillars as well. Then you can experiment with really big and flowing set-ups. Do it in-map since the asset editor is way too small. Enable the money cheat since gently caress it, you're doing art, not some kind of bideo game for children.
