Yeah buy a month of gamepass to get your fill then buy it later after they patch it and add mods. Gamepass hasnt had weird drm for a while now and the last patch hit both steam and gamepass concurrently so hopefully that won't happen anymore.

Have they given any timeframe for the huge asset pack that's supposed to be dropping? I could keep going on my current city but I'm already itching to restart and apply some things I learned, but would like that restart to have options for some new buildings. Addendum to that question, will the asset pack have service buildings too? Specifically more parks, landmarks, and tourist attractions would be nice. Spending 8 development points to get exactly 4 lame tourist attractions was a real rug pull when I did it. I was kind of flabbergasted to see the options I got for 8 points.

I don't think they revealed anything past the video, and I've heard something faintly like "before the end of the year", "a month or so", etc. I'd imagine some time between now and Christmas, whenever the mod workshop drops. Probably will have service buildings, but I don't think anything's been confirmed. edit: There'll be news on Monday with the "Word of the Week", the second one (this Monday's) had this blurb at the end: https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/developer-diary/co-word-of-the-week-2.1607615/ posted:Next week I’ll be focusing on the status of the Editor and what it will have when it’s ready for release.

I find that sometimes information is available but in a place I wouldn’t expect. Today I’m wondering if either of these two things are available anywhere: Breakdown of available jobs by required education level. Breakdown of education level of unemployed residents.

I think this might be what you're looking for on this one?

It's not impossible for them to be legal, but in order to sell keys cheaper than Steam they have to be getting the keys for less than they're selling at. I can definitely say from the dev side that studios don't generally reach out to these sites; money laundering would make a lot more sense here, since any suspicious key purchases on their end just result in less inventory to sell rather than chargebacks of sales.

I have like 10,000 open jobs, 4000 unemployed people, and a pretty robust public transit system with $0 tickets. Why aren't these assholes going to work? I assume there's some hard coded proximity to home thing regarding workplaces and nobody in this game is up for a commute?

Check the workplace availability statistic, as shown a few posts above. Are the open jobs low-education or high-education jobs, and does your available workforce match it?

In the same vein I keep getting public service announcements about driving advisories, rolling blackouts and breaks in water service even though all roads are green and I have a huge power and water surplus.

I'm playing with progression turned on (which feels like a mistake now) and dedicating an entire city block to a huge lot with parking is crazy I wish you could put in service buildings as the ground floor for mixed use zones. I think there was a mod pack of invisible and collision free service buildings for CS1 that tried to fake that

Do parking lots even do anything? My city is nearing 100k and I haven't put down a single one. Seemingly no issues from not using them.

Probably enough street-level parking to not matter. Also I think parking is somewhat bugged and not chosen by cims as well as they should, so stay tuned for future patch notes.

I think the only real “need” for them is if you want to extend the reach of mass transit adoption. I definitely see a spike in usership when i put a few lots next to my train station that corresponds with them filling up. I think they could be pretty handy to filter said traffic down a side road near the station that had a short pedestrian path over the main adjacent road, so im gonna actually go test that right now.

Golden mod idea: independent of the actual maintenance state of the road, increase the background color from 0x202020 to 0xb0b0b0 over two years and decrease the alpha channel of the paint from 0xff to 0x1f or so over ten years since its most recent maintenance.

Just hit 225k and I really wish fire trucks would respond to accidents instead of road crews. Have tons of fire stations sitting idle yet the road crews just keep going around repair roads instead of responding to the accidents. It's even worse in the winter time when they have to go out and plow snow, using up all the road maintenance trucks. e: add to that the fact that you can't assign road maintenance trucks to districts, so they roam all over.

1) Everyone on Chirper is chatting poo poo 100% of the time. Whenever it seems accurate that is just the law of averages giving you a coincidence 2) People don't care about parking lots, except occasionally they'll decide they loving love one in particular because of ??? and the ??? 3) I don't know if it's been proven but the thinking on healthcare is that it's often too expensive for cims to access it so they get big mad. Whilst realistic in the US, I would probably add options like state healthcare, subsidies for the poor, and/or price caps Still wish a city builder would include things like family clinics/GP offices/dental practices/etc etc that actually serve a healthcare use.

Yeah, it's odd that commercial zones don't spring up private healthcare services. That would be something that actually makes sense as (part of) "high-density commercial". Didn't the very first Sim City game have hospitals appear in commercial zones, instead of being built by the player?

Impossible to simulate complexity like that now, that era of computer had 512k of RAM. Now if you'll excuse me my $900 video card is taking off to fly a sortie over France, the realtime fully modeled parking lot simulation takes a lot of power

I'd argue that parking lots are worse than useless. Cars will want to turn into them from the other side of the road, blocking oncoming traffic and making things worse. Even if you put a parking lot on both sides of the road they are too stupid to use the correct one for their side. I tried putting parking lot in logical spots, such as really high density areas and it just made the traffic worse than not having them.
