Can you use a sinkhole or crater from an "unfortunate" accident to create a sewage or fresh water containing device?

Procedural Objects is a real game-changer. Hospital complex conforming to the shape of the road and parking lots around it-    After how well my Mirror's Edge style city test went the other week I decided to try and do an entire map of it and I'm been trying to make a YT series of it that I'm still putting together.

Friction posted:Wait wait, the what now? Procedural Objects Allows you to turn any object in the game in to procedural object which allows you to scale, rotate, change height and texture and edit the vertices of a object like in any 3D modelling software - all on the fly in-game. The example in my screenshot is about 20 ploppable grass and glass tiles edited to conform to the shape of the retaining walls. It's a little daunting at first but once you get the hang of it it can let you do so much.

I've been working on this for the past month. Currently at 21 tiles unlocked. Population of 347,000. Trying to keep up with managing it is a lot of fun since so much is happening. I've a very good public transport system and managed the traffic very well. I'm pretty happy with it. God I love this game. I was never one for making those super detailed architecturally accurate cities, I do try my best. I never plan it out before hand. Just start building. Functional cities > purely aesthetic cities. I am however subscribed to 43 workshop mods.      e:picture The Real Amethyst fucked around with this message at 16:40 on Aug 22, 2018 |

Crisis Now posted:Procedural Objects You know, now that stuff like this is possible I'd be happy if they jettisoned the 'game' parts of the, uh, game, and just made a 'build cool poo poo forever' zen-garden simulator; start with a village that swallows other villages, then just organically build outward to satisfy the RCI meter according to your aesthetic taste. The restricting factor is that it's incredibly difficult to tear down existing buildings (but you can build over and under them!!), maybe you can repurpose existing stuff to a limited extent like warehouses -> apartments I dunno

I've wanted to dive into procedural objects but I find it fucks up the view distance. With adaptive prop visibility props seem to fade away at much more reasonable zooms, but with procedural objects they pop out of existence way earlier than I'd want. Is there any way to adjust this or make it "smarter"? That tiny ramp can LOD away at a moderate zoom, but the huge town gate arch maybe should always be visible.

You can set the draw distance of every object in its properties in game. I just drag the slider on mine all the way to the right so they never disappear.

Because I can never finish a city or come close, I started a new one. My last one was getting too big, physically and population and it made working on it a huge pain. This time I'm limited to a medium sized island and I wanted a lot of hill action. Here's the map I made and the project so far. It's an island but it's close enough to the mainland that you can see farms and forests and there's a long bridge over the shallow waters to connect things.  Three hills will dominate the city's layout, each with an important building on top.  Hills of course mean stairs!  And stairs  And stairs. The tourism patio's I find work great for steep areas, they create terraces and hide floating doors.  Always need some super narrow lanes  Looking at a lot of old cities the historic core is often dominated not just by old buildings, but small ones. So tried to limit the area to mostly 1x2 buildings. Sure makes building slow as each one is hand plopped and fitted.   This "newer" area of the city enjoys wider streets and larger wider turn of the century buildings.   What will be a densely built up port and industrial island started as a fishing village. The village and a tuft of trees will remain, but the rest of the area behind will be heavy industry one way.  The city's small train station has an interesting tram loop setup.  Tram integrated into the waterfront.  The city is tiny but this tram interchange is already very busy.  Even though most of it exists outside the buildable area, I think the countryside turned out pretty.

Expanded the town a bit this week. If I'm going to carry on doing stuff like this I'm gonna have to upgrade the computer. Frame rate is not great now. Added a station and a small Warehouse/Factory area. I thought I'd taken a close up of the Factory part but it appears I didn't and I'm not reloading the game just to do that!  Dropped in a church, graveyard and a little garden area.  The Primary school has now been finished.  And just generally expanded the residential areas.

Spent the past week making an African themed map as I hadn't really seen anything else like it - especially with anything approaching a dense jungle-like environment. But I also wanted to include as many other biomes I could fit in as well. it has close to something like 700,00 trees, and the dependancy list is quite long however. Polelo River

Trying to make a harbour, it's really hard but I know people do it so I'm trying.    Making little semi-detailed squares and public areas is fun too and brings a neighbourhood to life. It's nice when it's functional and people flock to hang out and buy produce.       It's been a LOT of plopping, focusing mostly on 1x2 buildings.  Also it's 12:00 but they sky is so dark. Is it because I'm on a euro map? I hate this dark mid-day sky, it's like a sunset with orange clouds at some angles. How do I fix this?

Some small variation to terrain heights would have been nice. Couple of other small issues but its cool overall. I think the east (right) side of the map would have been better for me to base my city for wider range of canals but I built on the opposite end.

Baron the only thing that always sticks out to me about your stuff is the concrete is all uniform. Theres no decals breaking it up or even any dirt/marks so it kind of looks weird where theres large concreted areas like around the church. Aside from that you might want some tyres along the harbour wall in places for boats to hit and not damage themselves when mooring.

Aside from that you might want some tyres along the harbour wall in places for boats to hit and not damage themselves when mooring. I always tell myself I'm going to figure out how to use theme mixer to get a slightly more interesting base concrete, or decal over things. Then I start loving around with decals and want to die. I hate how the buffer and overlap and "fight" and that no one has made any big long decals to more easily tile over streets. All street texture decals seem to be 8x8m. Why no 16x16 or 8x16??? I'm now actually trying to figure out how to make my own streets. Something like taking the flat narrow pedestrian street and slapping a more interesting texture that still kinda blends in with the gray concrete could work. Re-doing all the roads, even upgrading them, demolishes growables if they are too close (any way to disable this??) so that would be a nightmare at this point. How do I make my concrete a little more old-world?

This game would be a lot more fun on Xbox if they would give us the green technology DLC already.  Really unfun when your only choice for waste management is landfills. And incinerators don't help with lowering the amount of trash.
