am I the only one who will work on a city with full intentions of filling the entire map, get about 80,000 residents in, and decide that you can do better and start a new one?

That dude Scotland Tom who made Powatan Creek and Tenasi River made a new map. Looks like gentler terrain than his other stuff but with a cool farmland look.

Doesn't look like it has any outside rail connections, how bad will that screw me?

The description says it has outside rail connections. I haven't unlocked enough of the map yet to really see; what makes you say it doesn't have any?

The fact that even in the buy-more-tiles view there's none visible, nor have I seen any in the 9 or 10 tiles I've unlocked.

EDIT: NVM, finally found it. It's well-hidden and I'm a dolt.

Anyone have any idea why the intersection editor appears to be completely broken for me? It wasn't working last month; I have since reformatted and reinstalled (for unrelated reasons) and done a full out reinstall. Even disabling all mods, you can click on this loving road until you're blue in the nuts and nothing ever happens.

gently caress you, little road icon

What mods you got? Some of those roads look overlapping which makes me think maybe it's a no-pillars disaster?

Several, including the no pillars mod, but all of the roads there are at-grade. Or they were before these magic trenches appeared anyway

Baronjutter posted:

Do you have the new forked no pillars maintained by a new guy or the old one? The only way to get overlapping roads at grade like that is via no-pillars, as I understand, and I've heard the old version is now quite unstable with a lot of newer mods.

What happens if you just delete the trench road? Terrain might just pop back into place. If not, delete and terraform it back? Make sure none of the overlapped roads have been "infected" by the overlappyness, otherwise you can't zone them.

No clue which version, but disabling it and mousing around with the bulldozer tool let me actually "bulldoze" the trench (which it saw as a ridiculously long road). I see what you mean by overlapping...the nexus seemed to be at two 2-lane roads where I may have laid down road twice. Thanks!

There's also a fundamental disconnect between people who play the game to Make Number Go Up and minmax everything to absurdity and the people who try to build realistic cities.

What about those of us that build an ornate, enormous road, rail, and metro network filling the entire map before ever zoning a single thing and then when we do and it doesn't work great, start all over?

Yeah city simulators are prone to very long sale lifespans and often break all the rules about what the sale drop-off curve is meant to look like over years and years.

Does everyone build meticulous highly planned cities or is anyone like me where you just build chaotic ancient European clusterfucks with winding roads everywhere with building choice made purely reactively based on the current need for zoning/services?

I would play CS1 with unlimited money, buy all the tiles, pause the game, lay out all my roads, public tranport, utilities, etc. Only after the entire map was full of that, I would zone and then unpause. These are closer to zen gardens than games to me.

Half of my problem with this game is that I'm trying to do stuff the same way I did in the first, not realizing they changed poo poo to help me. It took me this long to realize I could overlay an intersection over existing roads instead of painstakingly measuring how far to go so that it would line up. A week.

lots of people do - it's short for "elevated". you see it called the "L" in official CTA documents, with quotes; a lot of people type "el" because it's clearer in context - especially if you're talking to someone from like, NYC, where the L train is a specific line.
