Is there a use for military in CC?

>>127662329
I don't think so. Maybe it's just an aesthetic thing.

that's sad.

>>127665878

SC4 honestly looks way prettier than skylines

I guess that's the advantage of having sprites, though

>>127670075
Cties XXL also looks better than skylines. It's because Skylines has fucked up proportions ans has plastic-looking textures.

>>127671302

is it not possible to mod the textures

I tell ya what, it took plenty of retries and a sizable starting cash mod for me to get the hang of C:SL.
I just make large urban areas cordoned off by thick avenues and build the infrastructure as crossed as possible. Now I'm actually having fun.

this board just moves too fast for this type of thread. other threads are more conducive to constant discussion (and shitposting) so they stay alive. outside of new releases, there's nothing that gets a lot of discussion here. we'd be better off on a slower board

>>127763572
herbalists are early game breadwinners. its okay to expand rapidly very early on but once you hit the 30-50 range and anywhere above expand slowly and methodically. your villagers die of old age. if you expand dramatically then everyone will be living on their own having kids of their own. and then 50 years later a large amount of your villagers will all die at the same time of old age, leaving you fucked.

Keep coal away from villagers, if they have a source of coal closer than a source of firewood, they'll use the coal to heat their houses, and you don't want that.

The real built up area is going to be on that landmass to the right over the bridge.

Question: Does anyone use regular rail for anything other than transport of cargo?

I've been thinking about making a city based around the use of trains as the major source of transport instead of sub ways and stuff but I wanted to see if anyone has done it yet so I can get a basic idea on how to really go about it.

File: ghosttown.png (2MB, 1366x772px) Image search: [Google]

2MB, 1366x772px

Oh god, I thought I had it all figured out and then I lost about half my population to starvation in a single winter ;_;

>>127807338
Well, the most important thing is to separate your internal railway with external (external is the one which gets out of the city).
Do to so, you need to create terminals that will let you to unload cargo/passangers on an internal station and easily load them on a train in the external station.

>>127808104
How? Didn't you have way more food than what you would actually need?

File: Untitled.png (2MB, 1680x1050px) Image search: [Google]

2MB, 1680x1050px

Used rail in this city, as well as subways in some areas.

The save is fucked from parts disappearing but the lines i've drawn show where the rail went.

I've drawn it a bit retardedly, and it's not exactly where the rail is when it pokes into suburbs. Also missed out marking some stations and some aren't in the right place

The red line goes out of the station and all along the red line back to the station again, but it's a modular station so they can only enter one way, so technically it's one line going both ways because it comes back out and round again, rather than through.

The blue line was 2 lines, one going both ways.

People used the shit out of it.

>>127808703
Is that to stop those cunting yellow trains from outside the city clogging up your network?

What city in real life is the best designed?

Actually putting a farming industry on my fertile land was the biggest mistake I've ever made. I made an entire housing section beside the place and there's still not enough workers.

Commercial usually is a good buffer, you can also use some plaza space or green space to fill it as well. Only high density commercial has huge issues with pollution. Just don't make a burning river of grease level of industry by it.

>>127884954

>>127885196
Yes, filling the area between residential and industrial with commercial is usually the best thing to do. Commercial areas benefit from traffic, so the people driving past the commercial area to the industrial area will provide a boost.

>>127884954
Damn man its shit like this which makes my attempts at city building to total shame.

No, it will always look cartoonish, though a good LOD will make it look a bit better. As for open spaces when zoning, put a park, a tree or something in there. Or simply zone so that you don't get open spaces at all, duh.

Dear /cbg/.

I asked you guys before about some tips about traffic in Cities: Skylines and I would like to ask again, since my first city was still crippled by fatal idea of making huge, 6-lane in the middle that would paralyze all districts due to huge traffic and permanent jam.

I made second city and now, short on cash, since all those road ideas takes a lot of money, Im still not sure if I did right step.

Does this sound like good basis for future city expansion? Or I should rather start anew once again?

Thank you for any reply, like always.

120KB, 910x360px

>>127922639
these 3, especially the middle one

the other 2 aren't much of a problem now but it looks like it will be a big problem later

you need more and bigger connections, like roundabouts, the middle one both has too much traffic and is too small with too many stops, put a roundabout and don't have so many roads intersecting each other because cars will get in each other's way and cause big traffic jams which looks like what's happening there already.

It's kinda difficult to give advice on this

>>127923476

The upper, north part and south-east part are industrial areas, eastern is timber-orientated.

For reason unknown for me, trucks from both areas try to reach that left intersection you marked and then make round back, despite having other connection for both directions of 6-lane.

I wish I could make rounabout at middle one, but there is too sloppy for that and I cant really make small roundabouts out of 6 lanes.

why are my street lamps so bright, is it because of the after dark dlc?

>>127926386

I assumed they were highways and therefore one-way. If they're not highways convert them and it should be fine.

You might need to save up your cash a bit before you get started on the works, otherwise you might run out of money half way through and find your traffic no longer flows at all, causing your city to stagnate and lose money. As another anon said, it's those junction that are the big problems, so fix those first before implementing the entire one-way system. Additionally your industrial districts are the priority areas when it comes to one-way systems. Do those after the junctions, and then you can do the rest of the city.

Snowblindness maybe?

The more I play, the more I think that Skylines are actually more like traffic sim than city sim.

>>127928165
not suprising since the devs are the same guys behind "cities in motion"
To be fair, traffic is a huge part of a city; people can't move, your city won't live.

>>127928165

Not entirely innacurate considering the devs previous games (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cities_in_Motion). Also bear in mind that understanding traffic flow is an important aspect of city design.

>>127928165

>>127925796

>>127928825
The meme is that roundabouts are useless, not that they're useful. I think it was started by people who didn't know how to use them or who hoped a single roundabout would make up for all their other fucked up design choices.

>>127928825
Isn't it redundant to have more than 2 lanes on a roundabout

>>127930384

Yes because we can't build spiral roundabouts.

>>127930384
With traffic++ you can make the inner most lanes slightly faster, and force people to slowerly filter inwards.

More exits, more lanes, more filtering, they just fly around the roundabout not giving a fuck.
