If waterfront property ever gets a bonus, it would be cool if high density residential buildings got a bigger boost but also lowered the bonus for everything around it

Lester Shy posted:I seem to have stagnated around 30k population. Occasionally I'll get a tick or two of industrial or commercial demand, but nothing in residential for ages, which is a shame because I've got a brand new suburb laid out and ready to go across the interstate. Any ideas? Do you have any services beyond just electricity and water set up for that area? I've found that when a separated area doesn't want to grow, plopping down a couple things like an elementary school or fire house raises the worth enough to make a couple buildings appear, and once one is there the rest follow pretty effortlessly. I also lower residential taxes occasionally and I don't know what that does but I like to think it helps!!

Demand and unemployment seem to be vaguely decoupled but basically build industrial and commercial based on unemployment and just use the demand to figure out what you need more of between commercial and industry, really.

I, Butthole posted:Alright, how do I break my OCD and make a perfect highway entrance to my first time? I've spent about 4 hours dicking around and would like to make a town that'll at least survive for the first 2k citizens but a lot of my time is just spent wrestling with options for the entrance. I threw this together in a couple minutes but it's basically just two diamond interchanges and a pseudo-frontage road between them, this will easily support a shitload of people as long as you zone your industry so it's closer to the highway than your residential (which you should be doing anyways). You can upgrade the one-ways to highways and offramps later when you get access, and tear parts of it out as needed to make fancy interchanges. In this setup I wouldn't be building next to the first bridge because I can't make the full onramp setup, so I would wait until I could buy the land above it, this is mostly because moving bridges is much more of a pain in the rear end than redesigning them.

Duck and burger posted:My OCD is not letting me start my first game. The starting roads are uneven, and I can't seem to continue them in their lane number and spacing, and I have no idea what kind of intersection to make coming off the expressway. o_o Re: the intersection, I still think the diamond interchange is the best starter, since it's simple, it looks good, and it's cheap to build. example:

Hey keep in mind with regards to dirty industry that if people aren't working this is more a product of low unemployment because people will happily take any job they can get at 5% unemployment, so just build more houses without zoning more industry or offices and the problem eventually solves itself and your industry upgrades and the highly educated people are happier because level 3 industry needs quite a bit of educated dudes anyways.

My small island city had so many tourists pouring in through two different ports that the boats were colliding and glitching out and I had to develop a road network specifically to alleviate traffic issues. Like the traffic was almost as bad as the cargo port.

Poil posted:I've spent a few hours watching different youtubers play this and it is more of a city management than a builder. Gameplay is you wanting to do something, checking if you can afford it (probably not) and then putting it up for a vote in the city council with the medium sized party who will support it, the small party who are mostly neutral and the large party who hates and opposes everything and wins all elections. To be fair it has just been the start and the first era so it might be more interesting later but it mostly just seems to be about voting on construction, service- and tax slider changes and laws using your limited goodwill points to influence the political parties. More politically focused than Tropico but with a similar depth. This sounds like extremely my poo poo

Do you drive much, my dude? Stopped cars in a high speed road, especially when its somewhat busy so other cars are obscuring vision, are some of the scariest things on the road I've experienced, probably ranking only a little below black ice

Yeah just make roads follow terrain (ideally to keep the road at a certain height) and then draw between them with a mix of straight roads, diagonal roads, and the occasional curvy road in the middle
