I wish roundabouts were just a standard feature of the game, like maybe have them come in a few shapes and sizes prebuilt and ploppable on top of existing intersections. Traffic light intersections push players towards grids.

Negrostrike posted:I have four words for you.  On the one hand, it's kind of neat that runways and taxiways are technically just another bit of road, but from a sim angle, it's also curious that they didn't make the whole thing a single structure that can't be overlapped — after all, it rather makes more sense that way.

A proper roundabout tool would be amazing yes. You pick a center, then a radius, and it makes a proper circle. And it could have sidewalks, along the outer edge, still only be a single lane, and also follow the correct yielding rules. And there could be a Turbo option for one direction. The game still only has road geometry that sort-of looks and acts like a roundabout, it doesn't have proper roundabouts. There's also some annoying restrictions on the sizes you can build with the current tool, and the angles the roads can meet at.

I'd settle for just having traffic on the roundabout stop yielding to incoming cars.

Arglebargle III posted:I'd settle for just having traffic on the roundabout stop yielding to incoming cars. Yeah, that's another reason why they'd have to be their own type of asset and just not a bit of road, so I'm not holding my breath on that one. Meanwhile, Traffic Manager lets you set up the intersections like that, which is annoying to do for every one you build, but worth it for some of the more heavily used roundabouts.

I am continually baffled at the amount of hate some people have for grids. It goes beyond city planning or traffic flow. It seems like some people feel that grids represent everything bad about American culture, that they are symbols of American oppression, warring, and anti-progression. That if you use them in your cities, you are eye-loving every European with a bald eagle while screaming "HOO-RAH MOTHERFUCKER, HOO-RAH." I want to know why you are so angry. So angry at grids. Edit: I didn't say I wanted to know why grids are bad. I said I wanted to know why you were so angry at them, goons. Your anger for them is unbounded, unlike a grid, which has four sides.

Cross-traffic at signaled intersections creates traffic, when grids are too dense that traffic backs up into other intersections. A bad grid creates traffic clusterfucks nowhere near any body's destination.

I've been experimenting with making the entire layout of the city based on the idea of a roundabout. So I've set up a massive one-way freeway going in a loop around the entire city, with feeder roads going into the interior grid. Housing, commerce and industry inhabit smaller cells, which are themselves surrounded by smaller arterial roundabouts. I... haven't quite gotten the trick of it yet. Traffic does indeed flow, but it takes forever for service vehicles to travel to their destinations since they end up having to make continuous loops around everything all the time. I'm not sure how to rectify this other than having each cell have its own dedicated service vehicles serving just that area -- which would naturally lead to overspending on redundant services.

Housing, commerce and industry inhabit smaller cells, which are themselves surrounded by smaller arterial roundabouts. Like there is no reason the beltway should be one way, unless you have an inner and outer belt as part of a super mega sized roundabout. I posted my roundabout inspired industrial neighborhoods earlier in the thread if you are interested. Its a good example of short circuiting allowed by magic roundabout type set ups on a block scale.

Make concentric circles going alternating directions, and in/out roads also alternating directions?

DrSunshine posted:I'm playing with roundabouts, and designed a neighborhood based around this thing. Looks really good. I like the placement of onramps to the top level after intersections to encourage people to use all lanes. My only suggestion would be to replace the large one-ways with highways and the small one-ways with "onramps" to get rid of all unnecessary intersections.

Eskaton posted:Grids are great. Goons are bad at making them effectively (Let's put lit intersections every 50 meters!). Of course, the problem with that is that the 4-square depth of the zones rather encourage you to put intersections too close together and that you can't make good use of the left-over space if you spread them out unless you absolutely spam oversized parks everywhere. Just something as simple as letting buildings attach to pedestrian paths would help a lot.

If I'm in grid mode I usually go with 2:1 blocks myself, with the wide roads making 4:4 grids to serve as arteries. Of course you mix things up a bit due to terrain or to accommodate rail lines etc, and sometimes it's fun to throw a diagonal road across the grid like Broadway just to gently caress things up.

People don't like grids ("don't like" is kind of a misnomer, it's not really even that harsh unless you find a weird c:s sperg) because while they are neat, clean, and utilitarian, they don't exercise creativity. The game is about making your city look like whatever you want and it supports any shape or style, so making it just be a grid world is a bit boring given what you can do with it.

I take it too many custom assets will make the game take forever to load? I had a few building packs (around 150 assets total) and it was unreasonable long.

What I'd really like is to somehow make a pack that I can download all the assets from, then with a click of a button switch from one to another. Then I could play a futuristic city in one save, New York/Chicago in another, the UK, Amsterdam, etc. Without having to turn off and on tons of assets or redownload everything.

You can sort of do this with the Theme Management mod, in this case just setting "futuristic" as the theme for the entire city in Policy Management I presume the buildings need to be tagged properly to utilize it, so I wouldn't know as I haven't delved into any growable buildings, just uniques
