dragonshardz posted:Pathfinding is pretty heavily CPU-bound so the less of it there is, the better your FPS will be. At this point I'm really hoping that C:S 2 moves on to using GPU pathfinding. Recent GPU based techniques for solving traveling salesmen problems are anywhere from 5 to 300 times faster than CPU based calculations. One of Nvidia's dedicated computing GPUs can perform tens of billions of moves per second on a network of 10,000 nodes.

Unity is implementing a bunch of additional GPU calculation systems for its back end in order to to support ray-tracing, which coincidentally is the nstuff being used for GPU route solving.

Can anyone suggest a good, up to date workshop collection with plenty of interchange, lane, and public transport mods? I just reinstalled this and want to make something.

I don't think you need a collection for that. NeXT2 and TM:PE will cover most lane/traffic stuff. Add Metro Overhaul Mod for, y'know, Metro and then take a poke around the Roads category maybe? There are some useful and nice roads in there among the cruft. If you can be more specific about your idea I can find more stuff to help you accomplish it.

Probably not going to happen soon because C:S is explicitly designed to work on mediocre computers and GPU power is far more expensive than CPU power. Right?

It really depends on what you're doing with the GPU, but if you're computing stuff that the GPU is good at (huge numbers of parallel computations) then it's way, way faster and way, way cheaper to do it on the GPU than CPU. One of the studies I was looking at from 2012 compared a GTX 680 to two 16 core CPUs clocked at 2.3 Ghz and the 680 was significantly outperforming them. This should be true for just about any card built in the 2010s. I read some similar articles about large scale traffic simulations doing most of their work on GPU's having good results as well.

Right hand side is blurred, left hand side is neural net export. Beneath is the neural net image with some basic erosion done in Wilbur.   Still a decent amount of training left to do. I'm using roughly 2 million square kilometers worth of 10 meter DEM data covering all of Alaska and a large extent of the western United States, and I'm in the process of downloading a thousand or so square kilometers worth of 1 meter DEM data. The eventual goal is to have three models, one of them for very low detail, one medium detail and one for high detail. By using any or all of the models you should be able to work with any amount of detail without having to worry too much about making the first input image too detailed or too blurry. turn off the TV fucked around with this message at 00:03 on May 10, 2018 |

That's something it could do, but at the moment the output of the neural net isn't any better than the ASTER or SRTM 4.1 data available from terrain.party. Assuming that the areas you're looking at aren't covered by those data sets then it'd be a pretty big improvement. After it has trained enough to start generating its own details it should be an improvement for pretty much anything non U.S. from terrain.party. The caveat there is that I don't know how long that will take or if it'll actually happen. turn off the TV fucked around with this message at 05:10 on May 10, 2018 |

Anyone able to recommend some district styles/building collections to complement European + European Suburbia? The residential side of things is pretty well covered by those two, but low density commercial seems to have mainly modern buildings, which doesn't really fit in with the aesthetic.

Apparently Parklife's demo city was made by Strictoaster and he's posting his build process for it on his Youtube channel. That explains the wall to wall buildings, etc. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vWNFqE5zn8g

Are there any mods that actually improve performance? I find the game starts to run sluggishly as soon as a city hits a decent size. Probably my computer showing its age, but it would be nice if there were a way to at least delay the slowdown until the city gets really big.

The one that removes seagulls from parks give a little boost cause it removes a bunch of agents from the maps. I’m tempted to get the park dlc even though it’ll probably be overpriced garbage

I saw the DLC sale and realized I haven't played since 2015. Has this game changed significantly through updates are mods since then? Specifically in regards to city management and making the customizer thing less annoying/time consuming? edit: Also would appreciate some must have mods suggestions Google Butt fucked around with this message at 22:20 on May 26, 2018 |

Are trams really that good? I don't think there's anything else about Snowfall that I really want and it doesn't seem like trams would be worth it, but I'm willing to consider the possibility. I already have After Dark and I'm probably going to pick up Mass Transit this time around.

They're just trams. If you like trams then they're good. If you don't care they're not really any different than other public transport options. The main thing with them is you can set them into existing road networks but buses do that too. None of the expansions are really must haves. Buy them if you like the things they add.

As someone who has never played Cities: Skylines, what's the best way to get into it? It's on sale right now for $7.49. Should I just go with that? Are the DLCs important, or does the base game have enough where it will be a long time before I care about them? Also, is this game and it's DLC something that's available on Humble Bundle often like Tropico?
