I'm at 6k people and i'm doing just fine off of water towers and my two drains They're more efficient, and eventually you'll probably just find them easier to deal with than plopping down water towers everywhere. It's really easy to just pick a spot on the coast that's out of the way, set up a big line of pumps, then just not really worry about water again ever. Provided this is on a map where such a setup won't end up draining the river right out.

I've killed too many entire cities by accidentally expanding an industrial area too close to a water tower. To prevent that, I just make a big conga line of pumps at the furthest upstream I can get, and a big line of outflows at the furthest downstream I can get. Typically I prefer the treatment plant to the outflow pipe just for the aesthetics of fewer poopstreaked beaches.

A long time ago someone posted a great guide on how to design realistic interchange and stuff but I can't find it anymore ... Does anyone know what I'm talking about? FOUND IT: It was Koesj guide (http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=495789494) Le0 fucked around with this message at 14:47 on Jan 23, 2016 |

Well they're ramblings on how you might do realistic interchanges anyway  Also I should maybe touch that up what with some of the new possibilities of sharp angles, but I can't bear to re-read my own writing. e: also as a special tribute to BaronJutter I have taken down my riverside elevated highway. Instead, a new, trenched freeway will absolutely destroy any connection my downtown has with the rest of the city   When I'm done I'll bulldoze about half of the remaining nice buildings and replace them with surface parking.

Koesj posted:Instead, a new, trenched freeway will absolutely destroy any connection my downtown has with the rest of the city Ooh. Speaking of which… …I often (try to) build sunk freeways using Fine Road Heights — put the freeway at -6m and it's still out in the open, easy to work with, and easy to keep an eye on. The problem I'm having is that when building, the road always tries to revert to 0m as soon as possible after its starting point, and then slope down to the end depth. The only way to avoid this is if I make sure to build very short stretches or not connect it to anything. So it ends up looking like this, rather than stay at a consistent -6m throughout the entire length of the road:  Does anyone know if this is a problem with FNR (the game assumes one of the regular 12m distances will be used for “flat” road) and/or if there is something that can be done to avoid it? It only happens if I extend an existing road — a new bit starting at -6m and ending at -6m will stay at -6 all the way through, and building a stretch that's so short that raising it from -6 to 0 leads to an invalid grade also keeps it from happening.

Max 12c distance it is, when connecting parts together, which means creating helper road pieces perpendicular to the inside curves so you can line up parallel roadways  Also, gently caress having to do height changes during all this.

It's so annoying because those semi-sunk roads look so much better and makes it so much easier to build overpasses. I suppose I could bug FRH's developer but like I said, I have a sneaky suspicion that's built into the core of C:S' road-laying maths to assume that only certain heights (and depths) will be used. Bummer…

I just realized that my mobo maker said mobo supports only 6x2GB of memory. But it was only because of bigger sticks not being available back in the day... so I could in fact move to 6x4GB or 6x8GB if I ever found cheap 1333mhz ddr3 sticks. Or just save the money for Broadwell-E.

Ive got a gtx 970 and im def subscribed to a shitload of assets, but in the past ive gone in and deleted all buildings that were over like, 8mb in size. If its gonna crash it consistently does so at the paradox logo during the intro and the only thing that ever fixes it is clearing out assets

Or is it only for local trains? They'll use it, they'll generally just pick 1 platform, I think it's what ever the first/default platform is vs the ones you get by holding shift. Or at least that's how the few I've tried work.

verbal enema posted:how do i keep people in industry jobs. my cities always have a problem where after a certain amount of time industry areas always have "Not Enough Workers" Zone more residential, ignore you demand bars, base growth off unemployment. Try to keep it as high as possible. Sometimes the system can take quite a while to reach equilibrium or assign free people to jobs. People will very quickly leave lower-priority jobs but can take a very long time to move into them, even if unemployed. Don't be afraid of your industry "cycling" with unemployment, those are just bad companies that don't treat their workers well enough, new buildings will grow.

Finally learning how to use Precision Engineering properly. That, with Fine Road Heights and Sharp Junctions makes for some wonderful roadwork. A perfectly level bridge, with a natural taper onto the terrain and into a curve! Reconstructed one of the bridges on the default Islands map.

I got some screenshots of my city too at night. Been quietly working on Citadel for a couple of months now:  View from far out of the main city, Citadel  One of the main roads leading in.  A large bypass surrounds Citadel to alleviate transport woes.  A view of the business district from the south side  The business district, a huge expanse of the island makes up the office side of Citadel  On the opposite end there's a rich commercial and residential district - the original area where Citadel started.  It's full of bright expensive looking buildings  The district stretches across the island. A highway bypass has been built to again alleviate traffic, but the bypass isn't complete yet.  A view from another end of town.  A bit further out the industrial district.  You can see from the bypass where i'm aiming to make the city boundary. After that's done I'll fill out the rest of the island with small towns and seaside places.
