zedprime posted:Cross posting since a traffic model discussion is super relevant for page 1. The clean fix for the lane issue would be to have agents only switch to their "optimal" lane within X distance of their desired intersection and encourage non public transit ai to scatter between lanes between those distance checks. I wonder how computationally expensive that would be, because the alternatives are wierd game only intersections and road splits as a workaround. Not that its an absolutely massive deal but I hope its on the list. Also enforced minimum spacing between city buses on a line would go a long way to cleaning up weird traffic jams on otherwise open roads.

jneer posted:I'm confused - I'm seeing SimCity screenshots but people are telling me it's good I love that they took the only nice part about SimCity, the graphics and UI and ripped them off wholesale while laying the entire thing on top of an engine and agent system that is pretty much the best agent simulation I have ever seen. There are definitely oddities in traffic, and ambulances driving across the city to respond to an emergency right next to another hospital, etc, but on the whole its so drat solid. Everything the Maxis team fuxed up with a ton more funding and a much more massive team CO got right in C:S, its the best city sim you could buy at this point, the classic SimCities included.

Beefeater1980 posted:This is mesmerising. But what's that one red doughnut car doing on the left central road (everything else goes left; it goes on and up)? I think you will find that doughnut trucks employ their own unique AI that hinges essentially on being mobile roadblocks in industrial zones. I have a suspicion that they are actually guerrilla terrorists or part of some sort of frosted Illuminati bent on inconveniencing semi trucks.

Higher / better would make sense in C:S too since the lower you are the greater your chances of being flooded in poo water by a badly thought out drat placement or fluctuating river. So long as "higher" was measured from a gradient from the lowest average tile on your overall map rather than having an all raised tile map be a richie rich enclave otherwise its just exploitable design. e: Alkydere posted:I love seeing all the pictures in this thread of people reinventing the wheel when it comes to highways. Overpasses and frontage roads exist for a reason! Everything works fine when you have a low density zone like the one pictured there. Its when you have highway intersections in the center of high density commercial residential downtown that links to industrial areas far from the edges of the map that simple frontage roads are insufficient. Thats where crazy rear end roundabout into roundabout type setups come into play. Spaceman Future! fucked around with this message at 19:54 on Mar 16, 2015 |

Chewbot posted:I suspect it would be a bit anticlimactic because the cars will never use anything but the outermost lane even if traffic is backed up for miles. if you raise the inner ring, reverse the one way traffic to run the other direction, connect it to the lower circle with onramps and have 4 roads lead out of it offset to the roads below it you will end up with a mesmerizing multi tier hypnosis roundabout.

euphronius posted:Hopefully once things have slowed down we can get a goon approved super pack of addons together. I think this is just about as slow as the rate of mods will be for about the next year. This game is is a modding tinderbox, its a complete sandbox with a solid simulation core that rewards meticulous attention to detail, is under $30 and was built with community support in mind. Plus the backpressure of not having a really expansive really good city sim for a while, yeah, this is gonna be one of those "how did I end up with 100 add ons plus lots?! Well theyre all important anyway" games for a long while.

Gyshall posted:S thats a pretty crippling "fix". Im not sure I completely understand what is going on, so tourists no longer shop while they are visiting, dont you still have demand from local residents? Is the issue just that commercial grows *less* and not that it completely stalls? I haven't seen any real reduction in commercial of my city of 80k and I have a ton of parks, just trying to figure out what is killing what for the people having trouble. edit: maybe its not so bad? If the parks arent on the demand table, but people are still using them, how does that fix anything if time is still being spent in the parks rather than in the shops? I must be completely misunderstanding the issue here.

ShootaBoy posted:So I started a new town to try and not have a hosed road system for once, but randomly, once I'm in the neighborhood of a few thousand cims, my income just starts dropping really rapidly, I'm talking making 1,000ish down to sub 500 in a few minutes. This is happening when I'm not even touching anything at all. Anyone else have this happen? Cims are not immortal, you prolly just had a bunch die from old age. Had the game on fast forward?

Hyper Crab Tank posted:Terrible! You can't really see it on the overhead view though, but it's basically got fairly straight connections and one metro station in each district. With only one station in each area its probably your best bet to ease congestion then. The nice thing about the metro is that unlike the bus system it doesn't trade road traffic for road traffic. Busses see more use in my experience but a bus is still gonna hit those congestion zones. Expand your metro significantly and it should really ease the burden on your highways.
