Log082 posted:They mention adding building demolition, which sounds cool, and maintenance, which sounds realistic but I prefer the way it works now. When I do demo it's always because I'm loving around with my broken layout so I'm auto-buying everything anyway.

OwlFancier posted:I feel like honestly it would be nice if there was a variant of a DO which worked like technical services does for water. Rather than setting up each individual consumer and levels, it just automatically supplied all consumers in the work area from a defined loading point. Isn't that pretty much how they work? You have to click on the consumers but it's not like you have that many, right?

double nine posted:by far my biggest frustration with sewage/water is the slope requirement. Everything else could be managed otherwise, but the slope just isn't a fun challenge when in difficult terrain It would be interesting if it weren't so hard to see what the problem even is.

Fake Name posted:This game has taught me that I do not understand how to set up railway signals. The thing that gives me the most terrible is that WR signals aren't path based, so if you have a crossover then passing trains can block each other even if they are staying on their own tracks. I know this but somehow keep finding ways to screw it up.

Volmarias posted:Are you sure? I think you can see the path the trains are planning in Signal View. Are you using pre-signals for crossover areas? I'm pretty sure they're smart enough to know that train X will not be using segment Y that train Z needs to use, and will give a conditional proceed signal (it's like light blue or something) When I had this problem most recently it was with rail layers, which I think have their own logic, so that might've been the issue. I also realized belatedly that unconstructed tracks still create blocks so that trains on different forks of an unfinished loop will block each other. Which makes sense for simulation purposes but was very confusing visually. OwlFancier posted:I still use pre signals entering the interchange because otherwise trains like to park themselves across the intersection and if the exit block isn't clear they block the entire junction. I thought that was basically the whole point of chain signals.

SkyeAuroline posted:Yeah, on investigation, I shut off my power import and my windmills all sprang to 100% usage (which still wasn't enough to prevent outages). So it's just a weird interaction between power importing and power production that's the problem. Once I have a real baseload plant set up it'll be all good. My version of realistic mode is starting in the middle of the map so delivery costs more.

Well I have fuel off so I guess that helps. Edit: I didn't really export until I got trains. The point is really just to disincentivize waiting too long before building the construction industry.

Anime Store Adventure posted:Bridges do block boats but I think the only way to know if a boat can pass is to build the bridge and try it. :/ You can use the measurement tool to check bridge height, just make it taller than your boats.

OwlFancier posted:Yeah I absolutely look for maps that have resource pockets in awkward places, the game is infrastructure based so having to build infrastructure over long distances and difficult terrain to get to resources is the appeal. As long as the challenge is logistics and not just an hour of fiddling with terraforming tools.

Anime Store Adventure posted:Yeah the more I think about it, the more I can really get most of the traffic sorted with lines... I just love using distro centers and don't really understand what their logic will be. Do trains make pathing decisions at signals? That is to say, will they divert to an empty express/passing lane if there's traffic ahead?

Do people generally have one consolidated megapolis of several thousand people surrounded by all your industries, or have lots of little industry towns? If you do towns do you try to provide all services or just tell them to get hosed, they don't all need hospitals.

I'm trying psuedo-realistic mode right now. Got a farm running near the border with no citizens so far. Kinda feel like I might just keep it rolling this way for a while, citizens just poop and complain.

The General posted:How the heck do I build a sewage discharge? It says some has to be in the water, and some on land. No matter how I angle it it's never correct. They're impossible to build and anyone who says they've built one is lying. They're very finicky and you're probably not doing anything wrong except that you need a smoother beach or a sharper drop to build on.
