eggyolk posted:For some reason waterfront property is a negative in this game. Property value in general is odd. My polluted industrial park is full of children's playgrounds with brown trees. I would love for a city building game to recognize land value correctly i.e. waterfront, hilltop and downtown proximity, as opposed to "how many playgrounds are nearby". I bet it could be modded.

sigseven posted:This Swindon Magic Roundabout knock-off says otherwise: Ooh, that is interesting. I wonder what makes them use the inner circle. It's plausible that it finds a shorter path through the middle of the roundabout than going around the outside and prioritizes that. It's big enough that some traffic will find shorter routes along the outside while others are shorter through the middle. I bet it holds up well in high density traffic!

I made another color lookup table, because I felt like Boreal maps are meant to be cold but don't feel like it. I think I may have a problem. I also figured out an interesting trick to make near-camera appear higher contrast than far away, giving it a "fog in the distance" look.

bitcoin bastard posted:The first Google result for "cities skylines spui" is a torrent site. Pirating's just part of the deal nowadays. People will pirate $0.99 games, but Paradox was smart making Skylines $30 (cheap) and making mod support so easy on Steam for this exact reason. At the end of the day you can't stop people from pirating but you sure as poo poo can give them a good reason to pay you. The alternative is you can make the game always online (SC2013) but we all know how that went over. I didn't work at Maxis but from what I understand of the industry I'm 90% sure EA forced Maxis to make SimCity online-only, Maxis said if we're gonna do that, we may as well make regions for multiple people to play with co-op resources, and if we do that, we'll have to restrict the size of city plots. You get this terrible series of design decisions based on one top-level business decision. Chewbot fucked around with this message at 19:35 on Mar 18, 2015 |

Last lookup table for a while, I think. This one's called Verdant, works best in Boreal maps but looks pretty good on Temperate too. I was going for lush green trees/grass and bright sunlight without blowing out any highlights. I'm gonna upload this and the winter lut to workshop now.

Alright, I finally put up my last two color lookup tables on Steam workshop: Evergreen: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=412606092 Works best on Temperate or Boreal maps.  Winter: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=412609519 Works best on Boreal maps.  Sorry about the delay. I was struck by a sudden wave of hard-to-give-a-poo poo when I saw that the top downloaded LUTs are (in my jealous opinion) lazy and/or ugly but have the word "Realistic" in the name so they must be the best. Excuse my ranting. That'll probably be the last bit of content I make for the game! It was fun but very time consuming. Now I'm gonna sit back and enjoy my little digital model train set. Please rate me on Steam if you liked my work. Thanks! Chewbot fucked around with this message at 09:14 on Mar 23, 2015 |

Fish Fry Andy posted:Okay I'm actually playing my map for real for the first time, and welp. I was worried that this map might be a little on the tough side with how hilly it is and I was right. This map is relatively flat in the playable area, but there are a lot of really small changes in elevation. I don't think it will be possible to make large, gridlike cities outside of the few areas I intentionally leveled. Just a word of warning for anyone who doesn't want to bother with something that will sort of gently caress you over in terms of playability. On the other hand, it at least looks nice. It is harder to use than the default maps but produces great views. I think forcing the player to not make grids is a good thing.

Y'know how I said I wasn't going to make any more lookup tables? Well I made three. All of the ones before this have been dramatic changes which look good in screenshots, but actually playing the game with them can be a little straining. These are made specifically for playing the game. I made one LUT for each map type that goes as neutral as possible, with smooth lighting so highlights don't get blown out and shadows aren't too dark. Basically, they're soft white light (and not surprisingly, to make each map look similar the actual LUTs are wildly different). Temperate  Boreal  Tropical  Is anybody interested in this? The larger section of each shot is the part I changed.

It's completely unbelievable to me that the game's been out two weeks and there's over 20,000 mods... and most of them are good. Some of them are incredible. I just downloaded a mod that lets you select multiple citizens and keeps track of them in a window so you can follow what your named citizens are doing. And I downloaded a custom Mayor Town Hall and a Chipotle restaurant, a 7-Eleven, a BMW dealership, a food cart, a playable map of Honolulu, and a mod that names buildings using random word tables for infinite combinations. And this was all uploaded in the LAST 24 HOURS. Chewbot fucked around with this message at 20:40 on Mar 25, 2015 |

So here's a question. Let's say you have one water source: a river flowing from north to south. If you place water treatment plants in the middle of the river, at some point in time the water flow reverses and poo starts pushing into the northern half, against the water flow. First of all, what? Secondly, what the hell do you do about that?

Turn off all your sewage plants for a couple weeks and your pop will drop to a couple hundred. Turn em back on and everything builds up again within a couple weeks. Complete city reset of disturbing proportions (and now your entire population will probably die simultaneously in about 60 years). Oh, and your water flow will self-correct. Guess it's time to build a dam.

The reason many companies don't patch more often is because it's dangerous as hell (especially for a fiddly simulation game such as this). Any change you make to the code on a game of this scope (even simple things) is going to have a ton of unexpected dependencies that aren't immediately obvious, then releasing it into the wild exposes all the things you accidentally broke. Thank the QA team for making it happen. Unless of course there's tons of broken stuff. Raskolnikov posted:I want to break your mousing hand!
