So I've been working on this city with the 25 tile mod for a few days now, I'm not finished yet, but its times like this - when I was following a jet as it came into land, that the scale kind of hits you. It's also making money (not that it matters) - and has traffic thats largely functional, though it has its snarls. The main problem seems to be constant merging into mid-lane or refusal to not merge into alternate lanes, some of the route finding is also a bit questionable. That and busocalypse.

Anyone with any modding knowledge know where the building limit is and how to change it? I've hit the cap with one district left to fill in and I fill cheated, CHEATED!

Through Judicious use of trees and dezoning - including lots of 1 square offices that served little purpose now - I have finished insanity project one. Big old roundabout as reference. Essentially, my screenshot and future disaster mod anyone makes test zone is complete.

ijyt posted:loving beautiful, inspired me to finally get a city past 10k. Thanks, I'm mostly happy that apart from a few terrible areas of industrial traffic hell, it mostly works. I am pushing about 450k~ at this point, mostly thanks to the 25 tile mod to be fair. The game runs at normal 1 > speed even at >>> at this point though, cause of my terrible computer. As always, obligatory set pieces aside from the airport earlier are included, the 2 "grandest" offerings being the Arch and "Palais de Amadea".

I can, if I can grab a list of the mods im using that I'd assume everyone would need - there silly things like where I plopped two parking lots down and never used them again. I'll check it out tomorrow/later. If anyone knows how to grab a list via steam that isn't something only I can see that'd be neat.

Alternatively, you can download the actual savegame (and subscribe to the associated mod collection) here: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=409277795 - then you can maul as you wish, such as trying to get back under the building limit  .

So I haven't played in a while, and starting the game, even after reinstalls and removing all mods and what have you results in an immediate appcrash from ntll.dll or some such. Looking around no-one seems to have a solution either. Whelp :<.

I fiddled around a lot with my trains and then just gave up, eventually it seemed to sort itself out, though sometimes a train would get stuck in perpetuity that required intervention, but thats more a general "this thing is stuck" bug than a specific issue.

Is there a mod tool that lets you add water sources in game yet - excluding the tsunami one which doesn't add permanent sources, of course. I ask because playing some of these custom maps and noticing that lakes and rivers are dying out because no proper water source was added hours into a game is frustrating.

Fish Fry Andy posted:The worst thing about the workshop is that mods automatically update, so you can't even go download the original version of the building info mod, and it updates your version without your consent. Which is sort of scary, considering that some butthurt modder could go ahead and gently caress over a ton of people's computers if they throw a tantrum. Theres an option somewhere that I saw that allows you to select whether to automatically update from the workshop or not - I can't remember if its in steam or the game but its out there, so this is me being super helpful.

Baronjutter posted:It would be so awesome if people actually needed parking and wouldn't drive if there was nowhere to park. That's how most good cities get everyone onto transit/walking, there's just no where to park. It would also be educational to show the true cost of parking and how you either need like 50k a piece underground parking or destroy your city with fast fields of cheap surface parking, which depends on cheap land. But the game has /tons/ of parking so I don't know if its possible to even test the theory - even if you do everything you can to avoid making any roads that have it. People park in ploppables that have it, people park in buildings that have it, people even park in high rises that have it then walk home.. so. Yeah.

xzzy posted:Owns. I assume it's a ploppable? Yeah it's a "park", checked in the workshop and it was the highest rated in the last week and right in my face, so I opted for it. Of course, people don't drive up the ramps or anything, but they do park in it, in the usual Cim way of just driving through ghost walls.

The thing with dependencies is if you subscribe to something that has them, it pops up saying you need "bobs citrus tree 1, leanne's box prop" and so on, and they are all clickable and easy to subscribe to. So we have that, at least.

At first I thought It's probably cause the area pushing out into the "lake" on the right is actually below the mountain, but then I realised what you meant and now and you have broken my poor mind.

Level 3, typically, and a big enough footprint available. They are rarer in European Theme as well, as many of the level 3 choices are European themed wall-to-wall copies of level 1/2, unless you have tons of growables.

Avocados posted:I hope this game prints enough money to warrant expansions/sequels. I think sales over 1m~ units before the Steam Summer Sale, I believe, for a game they expected to maybe shift, I think it was 200k? over its entire lifetime.. yeah, I think they have more than enough enticing them to keep working on this title for a while, and being partnered with Paradox who encourage "DLC" type expansions, It's more than inevitable.

Tippis posted:Ok. S I dont know the issue there, Emergency vehicles can use Bus Lanes - although hearses are not them I guess. Basically, from my experience, bus lanes are "suggestions" and things that are a) not a bus or emergency vehicle or b) not even a taxi, will use them if they need to. Like really, they should just rename them "please maybe don't use this" lanes.

AD lesson #1: Do not put a bus lane in front of the cemetery. It looks nice, but then the bodies start piling up…

Its worth noting that the new districting for Leisure (aka, all night funtimes) and Tourism (HOTELS, BLUE HOTELS FOR EVERYONE) are essentially their own themes as well, and I like some of the new buildings. Essentially, while you get the "visual update" so to speak, the DLC basically makes the night time actually have a gameplay effect. Either way, its cheap and worth it to support the game in my own opinion. Personally, tourism feels more impact-full in terms of how many people i've noticed "coming in", and, essentially, the real time feedback of your hotels and touristy shops saying "not enough customers". It even made me put down a little airport although I have yet to plop down the new mega-one. Of course, obligatory screenshot spam time from my first real attempt to build a city (which is like.. 20% done right now) that I may actually stick with in AD, particularly since the massive traffic problem I was having has seemingly resolved itself.  A shot from said airport. It was a nice dusk shot when I was just messing around so I took it.  A good comparison of a European "old town" compared with the lighting on an "International" new town.  A "look back the other way" from the same general area.  Hotels are blue. And Bright.

Theres a mod that fixes games not starting/loading since After Dark, so might wanna look that up, its usually on the workshop landing page. Personally I had some random asset corruption that required a game verification, so that's always an option.

Hadlock posted:How are you setting up your cities so they look so natural? Theres 2 easy ways. The simplest is to make grids that are "random" (Like 4x4 but then 6x4 and 8x3 or whatever bizzare combination you want) inside of your main thoroughfares, and also to trade in 4 way junctions for T-Junctions. It adds a bit of variety but is still, obviously, just grids. We then come to the big secret - free form road option. Just build curves, go crazy, build weird as heck semi circles inside of your grids, and on the edge of cities build little semi circles and be liberal with little curved offroads and stuff and plop low density on em if it doesn't feel right to go tall or wall-to wall, like a typical european suburb. Don't be afraid to curve your main roads where it suits, and build around with MOAR CURVES. Essentially, curves. Use the ped path tool for gaps you want to turn into parkland and fill any unsightly, non-hellscape metropolis gaps with trees. Really, trees. Trees everywhere, they hide all problems.

Roads need to be close, varies on certain structures, they can survive on one or two cells distance from a road, usually. Mileage can vary.
