Ive been running tunnels more regularly as of late. The janky park slide street connections like you have in that picture bug me too much even if cims will walk up them. Tunnels are nice because they can cross straight through the middle of the intersection, though they still suffer from the insane ramp distances required to make them look good.

 Here is an example of my underpass ramps. For some reason I feel doing 180* switchbacks is easier in cut mode, where the tool doesn't try to snap to itself nearly as much. For the measurements, I run a cross below the intersection at -18' with that ends fully clear of the sidewalks above. Then turn parallel with the road and go another 10' maintaining the level -18'. This prevents the cut/fill from accidentally eating the sidewalk right at the corner. From there go from -18" up to -11' as a straight ramp, and then maintain the -11' elevation when you make the first 90* turn. Finally come out of the switchback up to 0' grade.

I don’t have any details to share yet as we’re still digging into the different reports, but I wanted to let you know we haven’t missed the concerns you have raised. More on those next time! As I said before in a previous post, the systems are so complicated no one can tell what is or is not actually working as intended.....and it turns out they don't really know either. It could be a tuning problem, it could be an agent issue (collecting and not delivering), or it could be a sim issue.

I thought pocket cars were removed in the sequel? I just saw a group of people leave the car factory and turn into cars as they left. Or maybe that's how they get the product out there?

Demolished the buildings and they were immediately developed into new businesses that had no problem finding customers. So it seems it just gets 'stuck' thinking there's no customers

So it seems it just gets 'stuck' thinking there's no customers More likely it is tied to cims buying goods at Industrial zones or using outside connections to do their shopping. I have noticed shops selling meals and entertainment are by far the worst affected. Furthermore, the game seems to have business set up at random with no regard for whether the particular good or service they are selling is already in a saturated market. This entire complex supply chain is giving players little to actually do yet is likely causing a ton of headaches.

The simulation speed slowing down at around 80-90k pop for me is really a shame, I figured I could go a bit farther with having a relatively modern computer (5600x and a 3070) I was hoping to actually build out an entire map for once (something i've never done in a city builder before i don't think) but the start/stop simulation speed is agonizing.

It’s annoying and really distracts from the fun I’m having, which is a shame. I hope they come out with some kind of agent abstraction that allows larger cities to be created.

I hope they come out with some kind of agent abstraction that allows larger cities to be created. There already is. Every time a cim is supposed to go out and do something, be it go to work, leisure, or go shopping; the game does an RNG roll to see if they actually need to generate an agent trip in the city. At the start of the game this starts off fairly high. As you get to 100k the odds of generating an actual trip falls to 5% or something like that. I guess they could cut that down even more to save on CPU time but then the streets would be empty.

So uhh, i think this game needs a way to see absolute elevation, using just contour lines doesn’t really cut it when you need to compare areas across wider distances. I grabbed the custom map that CPP had made, and its pretty decent, but the water physics make managing the river that winds through it a total pita. I made a slight tweak to widen the river at one part to make a quay and somehow the engine interpreted that as a signal to spawn more water or something and suddenly the banks on both side of the river were overflowing. Somehow the water engine must use velocity at specific sections to determine volume of flow, so even though i mostly dammed the flow upstream the increased velocity going through the bottleneck somehow made the flood worse instead of better. Ended up having to bail myself out by unlocking all the map tiles and carving a new river through the mountains to the sea to relieve some pressure. Even that barely helped so I don’t know wtf. No wonder they said they had to delay the map maker to improve placing water sources. I’m half inclined to mod in the maker just so I can see how it work’s currently.

Ahh. I think CPP just edited one of the original maps so the river sources are legit. I think he used one of the water heavy maps and filled in a ton of land which is probably part of the problem.

One patch in the next 3 weeks is basically all of December anyways. So yes that is a way of saying this is the last patch of the year before people go on vacation. Which is fine, people should take time off.

They definitely should. But maybe don't rush a major patch out only a couple days before taking a month off. Paradox has a history here.

It would be great to know if the high rent notification meant that the building was no longer progressing through the level up system. Like I kinda think thats what it means, and I’m gonna watch a few of them tonight to see. Also would be nice to know if happiness effects leveling at all. It would also be great to see the profitability % on a building by building level. Has anyone seen commercial buildings collecting merchandise to sell from cargo harbors or cargo rail stations?

Buildings leveling up is supposed to happen when the residents/business has a significant surplus after paying their rent. So a building complaining about high rent should specifically not be able to upgrade.
