Light-timing looks like  , though. What would be great is if you could just select a string of intersections in a row and have the game compute the optimal synchronization for you. Or the way it works in my hometown, where the lights are fed information from sensors under the pavement.

I really want to make a DC/Paris style city at some point. Grand avenues radiating at different angles from important landmarks, imposed on a grid of smaller streets.

Can someone tell me if the European buildings mode is actually working? I haven't played the game for a really long time. It seems like it should be working, since my police station looks like this: But on the other hand, all the growable buildings look like this:   I'm playing on a European map and the style is enabled in the content manager, but when I click on a district's policies it says "Default Style" and I can't see a way to change it. e: And I should add that this is a pretty new city, ~3,000 people. I haven't seen any obviously European stuff like wall-to-wall buildings, but maybe they only show up at higher densities? Yaoi Gagarin fucked around with this message at 01:28 on Oct 2, 2015 |

Koesj posted:2. Paradox is a publisher known for releasing overly complicated, unstable, and not at all robust titles. This was definitely true a few years ago, but I'm not sure it applies to CK2/EU4-era Paradox. Yeah, there are still bugs, but I feel like their games are pretty drat good compared to other big/medium game publishers.

Ofaloaf posted:Sure, but there's got to ways to place a canal where it just looks right, rather than blatantly having them set up like "I built all this because I want canals and don't know what to do with them except plop them everywhere". I live in the rust belt, I don't know what the gently caress a canal district looks like or what a canal is supposed to do in the modern age. Well you need to imagine what that canal was originally used for. Play on a map that has two separate rivers, for example, build your city on one, and run the canal through to the other. I'm phoneposting so I can't show you examples but look up pictures of cities that have canals/canalized rivers. I guess this would be more of a quay thing but there are some good paintings that show off the Neva waterfront in St. Petersburg, you might get some inspiration there. Similarly for Hamburg or London.

Ofaloaf posted:Hi I've been in Los Angeles for the past week with a rental car and Cities Skylines has ruined it for me. This is often implemented poorly but in principle is actually ok, you need two lanes to "hold" all the cars that are going at slow street speed and as they get to highway speed they merge together into the one lane.

This game seriously needs and deserves a sequel with game mechanics rebuilt from the ground up. Hopefully CO has had a team tasked with that ever since they realized this game was making them "gently caress you" money

I think there's definitely something wonky with the volume of traffic that this game generates compared to the real world, and also the drivers are stupid. I see people on youtube making very sophisticated chains of roads where specific lanes can only go in specific directions to force the AI to actually spread the cars out, and you never see stuff like that in real life.

OwlFancier posted:Well it has three cargo depots in it which helps Hmm. I was under the impression that adding more cargo stations effectively just generates more train traffic. Is that no longer the case? I guess if what you have works I will probably do similar stuff in my next city for every industrial region. I wonder if someone's made a freight station that just looks like a little industrial siding.

bewilderment posted:I just got this game thanks to a Humble Monthly a while back with the After Dark expansion and wow playing for a short while makes me realise why traffic designers make one-way roads. They're great for making one traffic problem go away and congesting another intersection instead where you aren't paying attention. there's a roundabout builder mod you should check out, it makes it easy to place a roundabout of a specific radius and road type over an intersection also you need traffic manager president edition to make roundabouts function correctly (not having stop signs/lights on them, giving traffic already in the roundabout priority, etc.)

OwlFancier posted:The slight downside is that you get your public transport systems in the wrong order. Everything is car centric before you invent the train. In reality, highways should be the last thing you get except for like, monorails and poo poo. Irvine, CA. The game simulates planned cities built from scratch after the 1950s, which is basically an urbanist's worst nightmare

A city sim with a tech tree / era system like in Tropico could be cool. Honestly I've been mulling over making my own city simulator game. I have the programming skills to do it for sure but I don't know if I have the game design skills to make it fun e: Does anyone remember the really old LP Grand Fromage did of SC4 where they built the region up slowly over time as it might have happened historically? I want that, but enforced by game mechanics

Trolleybusses are still used in San Francisco, although they just look like a normal double-bus with a pantograph on top. As the world moves off fossil fuels they might actually get more popular since they don't need batteries like a standalone electric bus would. Lithium mining is itself a polluting operation after all.

Grand Fromage posted:You don't have to do it at all though. SC4 sims will live in a squalid wasteland as long as there's water and power, you don't need to provide them a single service until you can afford it. Skylines sims are a little more insistent but you can still delay services until you can afford it, I don't think I've ever futzed with the funding sliders at all. in SC4 they dont even need water!  i think the game justifies it as them digging wells or something

How hard is it to get SC4 to work on Windows 10? And apart from NAM are there any other "required" mods?

Unmodded, cims "try" to use parking spots, but if none are available they can magically put the car in their pocket. They can also take it out of their pocket somewhere else.
