Really disappointing mods are out into the future. I haven't been playing too much cause I was really hoping mods were coming out much sooner. I want to make real pretty cities and spend hours detailing parts and I just can't with the current tools and assest. I can understand with how bugged and performance issue the game is releasing mods will probably just break it more. So hope things are fixed and improved a bunch

Honestly, i'm mostly fine with how its going. The bug fixing is nice (and should continue) but it's really handy that for the non-working systems i could just... not build them and the game would bring in stuff from off map to deal with it. I did take an entire map to realise what the gently caress development points were though. Turned off the tutorial really early because it was overbearing and then was wondering why nothing was unlocking even though i'd filled up 15 tiles.

Cool trick I saw on youtube last night. If you want to add some large areas of flat concrete yards to your industrial areas you can throw in the stone quarry building and use it’s area tool to fill in open space. As long as you dont make them to big they wont spawn all the crazy excavators.

 Bus driver strike? This is funny one, but it's killing my city and reloading doesn't fix it. It won't let me move the station either. And there's no way I'm deleting that bus station and rebuilding all those lines.

Related, I found out yesterday if you have a traffic accident in a roundabout with four roads intersecting it, you better hope the authorities get there before traffic backs up or they’ll just wait in line forever with everyone else.

In an effort to alleviate the crisis, I of course started building additional depots and adding busses to the lines, hoping it would somehow break free. Now a not-insignificant part of my populace appears to be trapped on a bus.  People have started to converge on the bus station, either in solidarity with their trapped colleagues, or perhaps to demand I release their captive family members.

I've been in this situation before in China. The driver refused to let us out but after a couple hours trapped everyone staged a revolt and managed to team up to rip the doors open so we could escape.

Cygni posted:Is the issue those busses trying to exit? Can you add a stoplight with the ped crossing tool? I just ended up deleting the road. It despawned everything immediately, and dropped all the passengers on the street so for a minute or so my city dropped to a crawl. It is pretty fun once you get a city built up and stable just watching the traffic cycle through. Is it just me or does movement actually slow down, the bigger your city gets. And not just low fps stutter slow like I'd expect but like slow motion slow, so I have to use the >>> to get things moving normal speed again? They get the rough edges smoothed out this could be really fun. Watching at night I think I saw all the lights brown out in my city - I don't know if that's a thing or a glitch.

corona familiar posted:this game should double down on representing media. get rid of demand bars and replace them with op-ed articles in different publications lamenting the situation du jour. the articles could invent characters representing interest groups and you could implicitly support or ignore them by your actions Merge this with a Local Newspaper signature building, profitability determined by amount of subscribers and local companies. Subscribers would be based on having at least, the second tier of education, being an adult and having an income that has margin for it.

On one hand the asset packs being months out makes me not want to play right now. On the other hand it does mean I can start a new city without worrying that I’ll want to restart in a few weeks. This game is in such a weird state. I love a lot of it and everything it does when it’s succeeding, but the parts that stink really stink.

Thankfully I am slow at playing games and also usually playing ~6 different ones at the same time so by the time I get very far into this most of the issues will be ironed out and new assets released.

Cities Skylines 1 did the same thing at certain sizes depending on your hardware. I don't know where the trip point is, but for me in Cities Skylines 2 its around 140k people 3x speed starts going at 1x speed.

Is it even possible to get a level 5 high residential building? I'm sitting at 0 after countless hours ingame. Taxes are at 4%, utilities at 50% in the hopes my cims have some extra pocket change to level up their buildings but nothing.

Cutting your utilities to 50% is gonna make it way less likely as that will directly reduce happiness. You need to find a way to keep your budget positive, cut res taxes to nil, and boost your services sliders to improve their bonuses. So far the best way ive found to do this is drop geothermal plants all over the place and make bank exporting gigawatts of power to outside connections. Also, tax the gently caress out of commercial because nothing I do seems to phase their demand bar whatsoever.

I have not been able to generate lvl 5 res at all either but I haven't played in a few weeks and probably won't until they fix the cargo economy that is still broken.

Anime Store Adventure posted:This game is in such a weird state. I love a lot of it and everything it does when it’s succeeding, but the parts that stink really stink. Yeah, many improvements mixed with a bunch of incomprehensible decisions, even when ignoring bugs. The thing I hate most so far is that they didn't fix the way cells generate next to roads compared to CS1. In fact I think they made it worse, with lots of places where you can't place buildings for stupid reasons and annoying breaks in the cells unless you work with a perfect grid (and even then!). This is probably caused by the greater freedom in road placement but it's incredibly frustrating to me. At least let me tell the game to prioritize a different road for cell placement without making me delete the earlier road or something. Close second is that I feel they made parks way worse than even vanilla CS1, you can't integrate them with the natural environment because of the different grass color. Also that you can't connect them to pedestrian paths at all, which is just... well, incomprehensible to me. Also that parks, sports fields etc. aren't animated at all. Then there is the lack of bycicles, I loved building extensive biking infrastructure. I also hate the huge-rear end train and subway depot buildings that are annoying to have to build and just get dumped at the edge of the city somewhere, but I guess that might be a matter of preference.

It's way too easy to accidentally get two roads ever so slightly misaligned and then you lose a cell of zoning because they're at 90.01 degrees to each other. But at least you can turn off snapping for plopped buildings and place them anywhere, at any rotation, and connect to any road anywhere. It's odd that when making train and bus routes to neighboring cities, the other cities don't contribute any vehicles to the routes. The only "transit" vehicles that are sent from other cities are the taxis. Keep in mind that you can use pedestrian paths to block off the zoning from one road and force another road to get priority for its zoning cells. It's still a stupid workaround, but it's easier than demolishing and rebuilding roads.

When you make a transit route that goes to a neighboring city, you can (sometimes have to) send it out on one road/track and come back on another, e.g. one-way highway pieces. Can you send a vehicle out on one edge and have it come back from a different edge? Or how about sending out on one corner and come back from the other corner on the same edge? If you do that, does the vehicle "teleport" or does it still have travel time before coming back in?

Nah it's just weird that those are hard requirements. Maybe add an extra maint cost or something, but you should absolutely be able to 'import' trains from off-map depots for your lines.

Why do I even need to make a line and railyard for neighbouring train connections? Let them come to me, use your own trains you cheapskates. Related: Can you make "new" train connections to neighbouring cities on maps that don' t have one yet? There's already a highway connection but no rail.
