Left: How the AI handles traffic by default (ex; I need to turn right in 5 blocks, I'll get all the way to the right immediately) Right: Optimally running a 6 lane one way road, traffic spreads out and uses all lanes for maximum throughput. The Traffic Trident, a main trunk 6 lane road that maximizes throughput while permitting 2 way traffic that can return to the main trunk line. (Note: Left and Right roads are NOT 4 lanes, they are opposing direction 2 lane one ways)

bitcoin bastard posted:How do you get the asset builder to expand past 64x64? It's not. If you were talking about the image in the link description, it's 4 of those grids put together. Also, the IMPORTANT NOTE I put on there was how I fixed my traffic problem for the offramp from this  to this  It seems so obvious now since all the traffic was flowing from the right side over to it's left alternate direction trunk counterpart. Red traffic means nothing  Slickdrac fucked around with this message at 23:47 on Mar 17, 2015 |

Nondescript Van posted:i probably missed something but I dont see the difference in road design between these two or why one is much better than the other. It's the same exact highway design, except in the grid layout, I had roads between these sections that meant traffic from all 4 grid blocks were all going out to the highway on the bottom left side and overloading the highway. The I noted in the grid asset link before NOT to connect the trunks like that, it'll give you congestion problems.

Did some highway testing, hope this helps a bit and shows that onramps can be very useful! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nonDzZfoqiY Also, one thing I forgot to mention, a dub-stub cancels out and makes all lanes thru again.

Diviance posted:Third, traffic trident variant: I approve of this  Also, I applied the trident idea with the things I learned about highways earlier and made a double diamond (technically it's called a full diamond, but I didn't check the list of interchanges to see if this was a thing before making it)   You can see the triple exit ramps splitting traffic. And the merge points work 2/3rds as theorized, the inbound lanes with turn signals do take the left and right sides of the highway when entering, but the straight thru lanes just pick whichever lane when they come out, so I'll be turning them back into full highway segments right after the initial split. If you keep the whole stretch a highway, all three lanes will be thru lanes. Also, I can make this smaller I think.

Just a little bug warning when you're playing in the asset editor. If you save something, then start a new asset, always remember to check your save naming, it doesn't clear the old asset save name out. Time to make the Double Diamond again -_-  This is probably? as small as is reasonable for max speed of the 45 degree on/off ramps.

Orgophlax posted:How do you create a Y intersection? Everytime I try the section turns red saying the space is already occupied. When you have 3 roads combining, the game seems to get real mad if any angle is less than 45 degreees. If you are combining different sizes of roads, it can get real finicky. Some of the multi split highway sections I've made have required me to delete one spur to make a different one, and then I could put the spur back on no problem. A design could be completely legitimate, but you have to plop it in just the right order.

At the very least, some kind of rhyme or reason for how saves and items are ordered would be nice. Maybe I'm not catching it, but it just seems to put things in whatever order it feels like based on the wind direction at the moment.

zedprime posted:I think I figured out the arcane currents organizing saves, or as close as any mortal can. They are listed alphabetically, then at the end chronologically listed are any made in the current game session. Either my game or computer doesn't know the alphabet then (or mods broke something), because "testcity" is above all my quicksaves at the top of the list, and "newsave" is towards the bottom below the quicksaves, and it's not reverse alphabet since "bigcity" is at the top just below "testcity"  And my assets have no order at all, though maybe it's basing off the savefile name, not the asset name in the quickbar, but I haven't looked closely at specifically what I named saves as.

Fishstick posted:Once you get incinerators, is there a point to keeping landfills? Incinerator trucks function the same as normal garbage trucks in terms of picking up trash from residences, right? Kinda. So far I've noticed it seems you need more collection capability than you need burn capability. So landfills provide more trucks for less cost. Similar case for cemetary/crematorium, though the dead collection need isn't as severe as long as you're not running the city of Auschwitz.

It appears that there is a limit to how many roads you can plop down. Roads and highways do not share the same limit counter. All versions of 2, 4, and 6 lane roads are on the same one though. edit: Appears to be 100,000 cells of road. Slickdrac fucked around with this message at 03:59 on Mar 22, 2015 |

Vire posted:So what is the advantage to upgrading your buildings. Like I know when I put parks down the buildings upgrade and get bigger but what does that actually do? Is it just that they have more people in them thats it? Does land value actually do anything? Higher level means more people living/working there, it also means higher tax income. Land value is useful for increasing level.

You want a gridhell, I'll give you a gridhell. Everything is 8x8 cells, 2 lane bidirectional roads. Highway is basically a gigantic roundabout around the outskirts. Almost all roads are red, but traffic does not back up. Roads are capped though and I can't build any more.
