Has anybody heard of issue with people getting about .1 fps on the main menu but normal once a game is loaded? I've tried verifying the cache and googling but I haven't been able to turn up anything.

Instead of guns it's just passive aggression, snide remarks, lovely facial hair, and bad music played on vinyl. The body mods are somewhat the same though.

I used to have a mod where I could just drag over a road to change it's One-Way direction but it seems to have been eaten up by one of the half-loving dozen road mods. Which mod should I be getting for this function?

 Behind the pretty European exterior hides the worst, most fickle traffic system imaginable. But it's still pretty.

Tippis posted:You don't need anything other than regular roads with sidewalks to have a bike network, but the trick to creating bike traffic that offloads the roads is to have paths that make biking shorter and faster than using those regular roads. Even the bike lane roads don't do this — they may speed up biking slightly, but it's still the same path as taking a car. At most you're increasing the road distance a cim is willing to travel before resorting to a car. I find declaring large sections of town as Old Town stops people using cars most of the time, and making a network of bike roads makes people bike all over the place.

Oh yeah, that reminds me… I haven't played around with it, so what traffic does Old Town actually stop? Service vehicles? Public transportation? Delivery trucks? On the face of it, it sounds like it's meant to be a more encompassing Heavy Traffic Ban that causes all kinds of traffic to not use the area as a thoroughfare, but it's not immediately clear to me what actually counts as belonging in the area.

The biggest city I've built so far. It's sprawled and not completely designed besides teh highway networks. The airport is also a bit too small in my opinion, but looks a heck of a lot nicer than the default.      Rail Yard:  College Park:

Tippis posted:Oh yeah, that reminds me… To my knowledge it bans all traffic without a destination in the area. So, heavy traffic ban still allows LGVs like vans and commuter traffic through the area, whereas Old Town seems to ban anything that doesn't have a direct destination in the area. It doesn't ban public transport I think.

I seem to have trouble getting cyclists to use dedicated bike paths, although they will take the other kinds of paths as well as roads with bike lines.

Are there any good industrial collections on the workshop? Everyone seems to focus on commercial or residential, and I'd like to have some variety in my industrial too.

How far will cims travel to colleges and such? I've always liked the aesthetics of one large campus for the whole city, but will my cims start complaining if they have to travel across the whole city to attend?

My current plan is to only build a university when I have enough of a population base to have 70%+ attendance at 100% funding and then only build one in a transportation nexus, see how it works out.

It does seem like cims will travel any distance to get to school, but of course they have a limited "service area" for purposes of building upgrade calculations. A single campus will educate everyone in your city but it's not an efficient way of distributing service coverage in terms of the game mechanics (if you care about that).

But if I provide every other type of service (leisure, fire, police, transport, basic education whatevs), that should be enough to max my buildings, right?

Black Griffon posted:But if I provide every other type of service (leisure, fire, police, transport, basic education whatevs), that should be enough to max my buildings, right? The way the upgrade system works is a little like this: buildings require a certain threshold of overall service in order to upgrade, let's just say that number is 100. It doesn't actually matter what services they receive, they just need a total of 100 points. Individual services have a cap of, say, 25. Each service building counts for a different amount of points, but no individual service building provides 25 points. So you can just build a bunch of police stations, hospitals, and fire departments, overlapping with other buildings of the same type, and have your buildings upgrade even if they aren't covered by schools. All you need is 100 total service points. Of course, those aren't the actual numbers, but that's the general gist of how the system works.

All you need is 100 total service points. It's important to note that different zones weight different service types differently, including (as I understand it) capping "points" at different levels. Generally you'll get the best results by providing a mix of services, biased towards the needs of the specific zones you're trying to upgrade. That being said, I'm sure you can get max-level zones of all types without universities. It's just that piling them all up in one area is potentially a bit wasteful. It's also a bit inefficient in terms of transit, I guess.

Like, one instance of every service every 4 blocks and parks every block.
