I tried taking the tram-in-avenue road and swapping the tram lines out for train tracks, but I couldn't get regular rails to mesh with it and it generally seemed to be a mess. I don't know about doing that in the road editor but you can make that sort of thing happen with road anarchy and moveit.

It's legitimately amazing how much detail you can get in this game from a few props and decals. I've got a WIP nuclear power plant that I've spent some time detailing the entrance facility and sime fairly simple work with decals left it looking pretty damned good.

One of the best ways to solve the traffic problems created by trucks going to/from centralized industrial areas is to essentially quarantine their traffic off. Plonk down a cargo station where your industry is and ban freight travel on all roads departing the area. Cargo will use the train station to travel elsewhere assuming there's a valid route for the train. High-density commercial should be scattered throughout your city - helps to prevent the problem of OMG TRUCKS ERRWHAR - but any areas of it that are more that zone type than any other should have the same treatment as the industrial areas applied to it - local train station, cargo trucks prevented from snarling traffic elsewhere, etc.

Strabo4 posted:Man, those highways look really nice. I got scared off by the modder's warnings and whatnot but those look really really good. How much of a PITA is it placing all those pillars manually, though? MoveIt's copy/paste helps for long stretches, as does the different line tools in Prop Line Tool. I'm not using that mod - my current city is a no-highways build that uses trains for extra-city transport - but PLT + MoveIt makes doing long sections of props pretty painless.

Bold Robot posted:You might already be on top of this but in addition to Move It! and No Pillars, you'll want either Fine Road Anarchy or Sharp Junction Angles (I think the former is the one to use now - someone correct me if I'm wrong), it gives you much more control over your roads, what they snap to, what angle you want them at, etc. You can have it show a little window in the interface with various road building options. Very useful. Fine Road Anarchy is the gold standard these days.

Sink it down to the lowest it will go, and it will simply delete the poo.

Bold Robot posted:They seem to have stumbled into it with a few smart core design decisions like making it super mod-friendly. CO itself seems to have at best a tenuous grasp on why people dig the game, see e.g. 3 years of questionable DLC and that one interview the CEO or lead designer or whatever gave where she says she plays to maximize profit and doesn't see why people would do anything else. Honestly the latter bit was the same with the SC4 crowd. You had a bunch of people who were really  about building realistic cities with realistic traffic infrastructure, which spawned projects like NAM and CAM, but also a lot of people who didn't care so much about realism and just made what they liked. The community has in some part slowly moved over to CSL from SC4, so it has a similar structure - bsquiklehausen, for example, made a TON of railfan assets and automata for SC4.

Nova88 posted:I'm having a bit of a traffic flow problem, I was wondering if people would be able to help, my planning of road networks in this game is pretty much guesswork. re: framerate - if you can cut down on the number of people driving around, it'll improve your framerate. Add some metro, trams, buses, etc. Pathfinding is pretty heavily CPU-bound so the less of it there is, the better your FPS will be. That said, it's still a Unity engine so there's going to be a point where even with huge numbers of people using the metro, you're going to dip down into sub-30 ranges. When it comes to traffic management, you can try and do real-world road hierarchy but it's still a design that centers around car traffic so you'll still have FPS problems. It's actually measurably more efficient and FPS-friendly to connect independent superblocks via non-car transit, eg metro for people and heavy rail for cargo. (Metro here is literally any/all transit options including busses.) dragonshardz fucked around with this message at 23:24 on May 5, 2018 |

turn off the TV posted:At this point I'm really hoping that C:S 2 moves on to using GPU pathfinding. Recent GPU based techniques for solving traveling salesmen problems are anywhere from 5 to 300 times faster than CPU based calculations. One of Nvidia's dedicated computing GPUs can perform tens of billions of moves per second on a network of 10,000 nodes. That likely depends on if Unity implements it, and how willing CO is to hack it in if not.

I don't think you need a collection for that. NeXT2 and TM:PE will cover most lane/traffic stuff. Add Metro Overhaul Mod for, y'know, Metro and then take a poke around the Roads category maybe? There are some useful and nice roads in there among the cruft. If you can be more specific about your idea I can find more stuff to help you accomplish it.
