Plans to make a model city lasted about 90 minutes. I started with everything unlocked, and didn't realise the mod would also give me 715k cash. I went nuts. Then I didn't do any hand placing but just designed an interesting city. Then I realised I had no idea what I should be placing as my city grew (without thinking about it.) And it didn't seem like "a challenge." So I loaded a new map and am just playing normally again. I wonder if I'll get above 100k people this time? The map is definitely more constrained in how I can grow though. So maybe? If CS2 really lets you make your own outside links it'll be great.

You get a cash prize when you reach a milestone so the mod that unlocks everything also ends up giving you all the money as well. Which you need since you also need ALL of the services right from the beginning.

You can try playing with the money limit on, this gives you a little breathing room to plan out your city.

I started yet another city after eliminating all the industry in my city but having no outside cargo connections so I might have been about to starve my commercial of goods with just some paltry highway connections. With this new save I said I'd reload my money whenever I feel like it. And unlocked the milestones up to buses. It's going well. But I've been telling myself to take it slow, and really come up with a reason for each district. Now I'm putting down props and it's a lot of fun, even though I don't think I'll notice a difference unless I get a hundred plus hours into this city and decide to revisit old areas. Still, enjoying it, more arrows to my bow of CS funtimes. And if anyone has any recommendations for prop packs on Steam I'd appreciate it. And tree packs. I'm already feeling slightly limited.

They've added more options for customizing lanes based on feedback too, you can now make turn-only lanes instead of combined turn/straights. I may disagree with some choices but can't knock em for listening to feedback during the beta previews. I bet there are some more complicated things we've whined about that are due for future patches.

I actually think the Hotels DLC was trialling some of the systems on a large market from CS2 in CS1. The idea of the general area around a building influencing the success of a building is something very important, seemingly, to CS2, and that's exactly what the Hotels DLC was. And it's a DLC I quite like, even if I think the area of effect influencing the hotels isn't big enough. I think that was almost a soft launch for some of what they're doing with CS2. They just didn't say it. All in all I'm really excited about CS2. Unless a streamer/youtuber points out an obvious big flaw it'll be a day 1 purchase for me.

Yeah, I'm just thinking Hotels was the last DLC, and it really seems to align with the idea that certain areas are affected, to a mechanics degree, by what's in proximity to them. In a far more advanced way than simple land value. It seems like a slimmed down version of what they're talking about with, say, low rent housing needing certain conditions in much the same way different hotels needed certain conditions.

Sequel looks like it's going to be ace. The various interlocking systems design advancements seem reasonable and based on fairly adequate understanding of urban systems. Makes me quite excited for the simulationist side of the game, which was somewhat lacking in the first one. Though it seems they still want to carry over some meager design ideas from the previous game, such as the one about buildings "leveling up" to measure some kind of general advancement. That's kinda abstracted and gamey compared to the various other new systems they've shown off, which tend to have a somewhat more realistic and grounded underlying system of feedback loops to drive them. Looking at the other design advancements I would love to have seen them rework that into some kind of a working representation of a real estate market for instance. I love the more mature visual design in the new game as well. It's like going from sc3000 to Sim City 4. Echoing the sentiment that they could include more bonsai tools in the base game. Mods will ofc do it all but I'd pay for a well put together bonsai detailing dlc that implements all sperg detailing tools into the base game cleanly.

It doesn't seem that bad to me - buildings level up and down to float their quality and 'niceness' towards what the residents can afford.

I wonder is it systemically dynamic enough that "emerging neighbourhoods" could naturally emerge out of the systems at play? And how would the player know that their Old Town is now hot poo poo for the nouveau riche of their little city? Will the tweeter guy go off about all these new coffe shops opening up or do you gotta click all the houses to check the levels and put together the narrative yourself. The additional definition they've added to the agents and how it all together forms a life story for each individual is neat. I guess I wish individual houses could also record a well developed history. This house built for industry in the year xxxx, converted to residential in this year, a history of various businesses that have operated on the ground floor since then. Maybe something to look forward to in the third game some time next decade.

There's visible changes for the different wealth levels, if I recall, you'll see the buildings get nicer finish and details. Renovation and new paint jobs as they go up in wealth. Poor buildings will probably be dirtier. Etc. I haven't seen any examples of it yet but that's what they said in the Dev diary. MikeJF fucked around with this message at 15:46 on Sep 25, 2023 |

I would assume that districts and policies for them will allow the development of more cohesive areas, I find it hard to imagine how it will work or how it will be trackable if you just slap stuff down wherever.

Watching some of the new CS2 vids. I wish the income/expenditure numbers were consistent, like it displays income as 40,000 per hour then a building's maintenance is 55,000 per month. I wish they'd just pick a single timeframe and list everything as per week or month.

Games should be designed so that the recommended card is a high-ish end one? Gently put: you guys are being bit luddity here. The game shouldn’t be designed from the drat get go to be a gimped one. 3080 is the high end card of three years ago. It absolutely is a reasonable recommendation to be the good option for the game. It also leaves future space for graphicsl updates.

I'm sure my 3060 will be just fine, but for being a 3-year old card a 3080 is still ludicrously priced.
