I have now reached the point where whenever I learn about a dumb building I immediately check to see if there's a C:S asset of it. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=697899995

You never really finish a city in this game...but I've now built all the cool districts I had in mind for this one, ending with a space center. It's been a blast. Pretty happy with the end result!

Hi friends, I haven't played in several years and picked up the non-radio DLC on the Newegg sale. Is there an updated list of recommended mods, and beginner's guides? A text+picture guide sounds better than video but I'm not that picky.

I picked up the game after a year break or so. I just went to the steam workshop for the game and sorted by most popular in the last 6 months and slapped them on. Though as a new player I wouldn't recommend adding them all at once unless you've used them before. Just do a couple at a time and build small until you run into something you wish you had a mod for. Install the mod, nuke the city, rinse and repeat.

Roundabout Builder I believe. What's the mod for networked highway lines? I wanna give it a try. Edit: Made a huge industry  Doesnt look that big? Well I supposed its not, but there are over 100 corn fields stacked on top of eachother with the full industry to back it. That fire station is necessary when literally all of them catch fire um excuse me fucked around with this message at 20:28 on Aug 12, 2021 |

Community Challenge! I took my previous post to its logical extreme. I tried to find the limit of what a single 4x4 can hold in terms of population if I just stacked buildings one on top of each other with the "Find It!" and "Building Anarchy" mods. I have a bunch of traffic mods but no other mods that can affect population. I peaked around 7500 people. I'd like to see what anyone else can manage. I call this the 16 square challenge. The whole "city". The 4x4 is in the lower clover.

Are pedestrian pathways necessary?

Necessary in what way? Does the game require them to work correctly? No. Will you inundate your city with traffic if you even get close to densely populated, hell yea. Pedestrians will attempt to walk to where they want to go. If they cannot get there, they will literally spawn a car and despawn it once they arrive.

Pedestrian paths are great. Residents will walk a surprisingly long way if you give them the option. I've put down a long path before thinking "eh, maybe a handful of people will use it" and looked back half an hour later to see it heaving with people. And each of those people

Boy is there, and it's free. OpenTTD is based entirely around Transport Tycoon and even has a multiplayer. It's a very old game so the graphics are rudimentary at best but at least its a small install.

I just want them to make cities but make it not so goddamn car centric. It really bothers me that everything needs to be zoned next to a road. I could absolutely see a ton of my office districts just having a metro and a bunch of paths in the middle but nope, i have to have an arbitrary road every x amount of squares.

Road anarchy small dirt paths through the middle of buildings you place down with ploppable RICO or Find It! Use TM:PE to disable traffic.

Oh, this discussion gave me a thought: one of the traffic-related mods lets you enable/disable certain kinds of traffic on roads, right? Commercial buildings (both in-game and in real life) need trucks to be able to deliver goods to them, but there's no reason to allow normal single-person vehicle traffic on those roads. Maybe set up the roads to allow for delivery vehicles/emergency/healthcare/etc. but disable standard cars?

Unless you have very, very good public transportation and walkways, you're likely to have problems getting customers to those commercial buildings.

There's a mod that lets you set 'cargo' entrance/exits for buildings, isn't there? I guess you could use that alongside TM:PE to have access roads for heavy traffic and then other roads for cars/buses. Not quite what you're asking for, but would look a bit more realistic. Or find a mod that gives gently caress-off big multi-story car parks and have your carefully-curated landscapes obliterated by brutalist monstrosities.

I guess the (not fixable in this game) solution would be to make it so that you can zone off of any path or roadway but then make parking its own supply indicator (like water or power), that can be offset by available public transport within a defined walking distance. That way you could have things like office parks and European high streets but they would only grow if people were actually able to get there.

Also for cargo stations etc being able to have trucks go in on one road and come out on another is brilliant not only for an actual realism side, but just pure traffic flow.

Is there a setting I accidentally toggled where putting down roads and buildings doesn't clear the default vegetation from the area, or am I doomed to spending 15 minutes bulldozing palm trees out of every development I add to my city now? This just started in the past day, around the 35k population mark if that's relevant. It was fine up until this point.

You can use the move it marque tool to select just trees and delete them hundreds or thousands at a time

I don't recall switching anarchy on, but that was indeed the case! Thanks for the tip on the move it marque tool, I've mostly just been using it to delete overpass pillars and tweak road curves.

All buildings have a "front" on one road and I don't think Building Spawn Points actually lets you have vehicles access a building from multiple sides, though I haven't really tested it so I coudl be wrong.

Haha when I build a city I always think "where are all these fuckers gonna park?". Then I start stuffing parking lots everywhere. Mostly in front of schools and other municipal buildings. In a full RICO city I start adding them in dense residential areas and industrial.

It’s really amazing how much more realistic cities look with shitloads of parking lots, if you’re going for a North American style anyway

Macsergey mods are under active development and provide insanely good features if you're into those kinds of things: - Intersection Marking Tool for detailing your roads - Node Controller Renewal for fixing all kinds of network stuff (use original NC for more hardcore control) - Building Spawn Points for finetuning traffic push/pull on larger buildings - Network Multitool for parametrically creating roads, rail, decorations, etc.; very powerful (maybe also use Python Console with curve builder if you're insane like me)

First time using RICO today. Is it common to have errors with buildings you edit with RICO everytime you load your save, like having residential households totally empty out or having commercial buildings turn themselves off randomly and/or never having enough goods?
