Something that irritates me about the game is you dont get 4 lane streets until maybe the first or second milestone

So you end up with a mainstreet that has all your traffic that is just slugged up

So eventually you have to tear down an entire block to replace it with 4 lane

Prude 28-Dec-17 02:40 PM

Basically I end up with an oldtown for all my shit I needed to tech up to endgame

and then a newer city center across from it

and then I slowly build over oldtown if needed

Taylor 28-Dec-17 02:40 PM

Essentially what Ive done here

And then on the east side of the highway Im saving for a luxury upscale district

Touristy spot

Prude 28-Dec-17 02:40 PM

or turn oldtown into industrial slums

Taylor 28-Dec-17 02:41 PM

Thats what my Old Town Industrial is

Prude 28-Dec-17 02:41 PM

also the mass transit DLC looks like the main good one

trains and shit

Taylor 28-Dec-17 02:41 PM

The thing with trains is you have to plan way ahead

Metro is good because its all underground

Prude 28-Dec-17 02:41 PM

but god they really do look for a bit much for that DLC

Pinned a message.

Taylor 28-Dec-17 02:48 PM

🙏🏿

Simplyjack 28-Dec-17 03:02 PM

lot of empty space in some of those blocks

Taylor 28-Dec-17 03:03 PM

Im using smaller roads to fill them in

Its also a weird angle

Replacing all my poop dumping pipes

So the river can clean out

And I can build upscale riverfront districts downstream

Or build a dam

I had no clue what to expect buidling wise so I didn't leave enough room

god damn, you guys are beautiful autists

I can't make anything resembling a small ski town much less a city

Simplyjack 28-Dec-17 10:20 PM

@Long post your cities and we'll brutally critique (my city ^^^ is shit and i need to practice more)

Long 28-Dec-17 10:20 PM

dogg I tried to built a city and ended up with like 4 long streets a water pump(no sewage) an about -5000$ in my bank

Simplyjack 28-Dec-17 10:20 PM

im really tempted to just turbonuke my whole industrial/power/trash sector, its draggin me down

well, you start small

and look around, build out and up

if you're goin broke that early you're overexpanding

the RCI meter in the bottom is THE THING and follow it, always

@Taylor 's city has SHIT demand, he's gonna have big problems expanding (unless he fixed it by now)

Long 28-Dec-17 10:24 PM

i'll give it a shot again when I can be dicked to open it

which may be a while i've had the game for like a year+ and haven't opened it

Taylor 28-Dec-17 10:25 PM

Yeah its fine

Having a little trouble with heavy labor positions

But Im just building low education low income housing districts to compensate

no

theres a specific tool for taking a snapshot for the map i wanna share

Oh

Simplyjack 31-Dec-17 07:12 PM

not a steam screenshot

Umdrehung 31-Dec-17 07:16 PM

i heard the snowfall and disasters wasnt worth the money even on discount

that;s the only reason i havent bought them already, they were pretty superficial afaik

Taylor 31-Dec-17 07:18 PM

Nat gets ok reviews

Snow doesnt though

Umdrehung 31-Dec-17 07:19 PM

i got snow somehow

did they ever improve the traffic AI from the garbage it was at releaes?

Taylor 31-Dec-17 07:19 PM

Not unless its DLC exclusive fix

Because base game its still pants on head retarded

Theres a fire two doors down?

Let me take a loop around these 3 blocks here real fast

should I sign in with my paradox account

does that give me anything extra

should I sign in with my paradox account

Prude 03-Jan-18 09:49 AM

yeah growing your city unlocks a bunch of shit in the standard game mode

i think that traffic video gave me autism

Peaches 03-Jan-18 10:00 AM

I also just saw that it has cheat mods built in

Prude 03-Jan-18 10:07 AM

yeah i think i'm gonna start playing with those tbh

because the gameplay of building from the ground up to unlock everything is kind of at odds with the gameplay of meticulously designing shit from the start

Simplyjack 03-Jan-18 10:08 AM

apparently theres a tool to import satellite images into skylines, not just a heightmap

so you can have ^^^ what rejd posted with fields and ground deets

Peaches 03-Jan-18 10:14 AM

that would be pretty cool

right now yeah I turned those mods on so I can do some experimenting before I build a full fledged real deal thing

because I know all of this isn't just like IRL so traffic and all that can be gamed

also looks like some mods could really makes things better if you want to sperg on details

it also lets me get a feel for what issues will crop up and how to fix them

Simplyjack 03-Jan-18 12:14 PM

its awesome

thats cool as fuck

I was over here struggling to figure out a good way to run roads

I figured it wasbetter to just get the town going a remodel as needed

Taylor 03-Jan-18 01:00 PM

easy early game tip is to have as few intersections as pssible
