>tfw have an extensive underground pedestrian tunnel network

This can't be healthy

How do you guys go about making more hilly plains maps? I want to do something like my home town with sunken highways mixed with rolling hills.

Also, what are some good mods for parks and playgrounds and such?

Cities Skylines that is.

>>134586675
The fine road height adjustment mod is a must, thought I'm not sure it works with the current update yet
Terraforming tools help
And there are some mods specifically for sunken road walls too

>>134587137
Would it be easier to just start with a basic flat map and slowly mold it the way I want it to be then?

>>134587231

They represent life. The daily lives of thousands or even tens of thousands of people pass through that station, and they themselves are the lifeblood of your city being pumped through its arteries and veins.

>>134625625
Nothing special going on, just the normal Avenue with pavement/sidewalk placed along side it.
Theme I'm using is called 'Tura Coast' and I believe it changes the pavement and road texture to the one used in this picture. Of course when the pavement is placed along side a road like that, it removes the zoning behind it, so you have to use it with that in mind.

>>134599223
I thought freeform had you pick the curve once and it used that angle for all future roads until you M2'd while curved made you choose the angle every time.

You could get away with walkways at 9m elevation instead of 12m, and usually roads give way for rail and not the other way around like in the bottom left corner. But other than that it looks real nice.

I should know, trains being my future profession and all. Good thing CS is an arcade city builder and not a hardcore train sim (which would be cool, though).

>>134647935
You should look into getting it. It's all sorts of amazing. The forced elevated build mode makes all sorts of strange things possible.

>>134648871
>forced elevated build mode
I thought it was just more fine control in road elevation. What is that thing you mentioned?

>>134649689
With ctrl+left / right you change build mode to elevated, bridge (superb with rail), ground or normal.

>>134649689
It means you can build elevated roads at any height, including ground level. You can also build ground roads at any height, including 24 metres (it raises the ground to meet the road height).

So what's the point?

Well, when building a highway offramp I use ground build mode to raise the road to 12 metres. This looks way more realistic than having huge concrete flyovers in the middle of nowhere. It ends up being a kind of earth ramp. Then I use the elevated mode to actually cross the highway, then back to ground mode on the other side. You end up with a concrete "bridge" between two earth rams. It looks very beautiful. Other functions would be using the elevated mode to create an elevated road at a height of 3 metres if you want a bridge to look "juuuuust right" (TM).

Also good for building seawalls out over water in ground mode.

>>134611938
Is this silent hill?

>>134650658
>>134650996
Woah, that's awesome. Thanks.

>>134650996
Oh yeah, and super-duper easy sunken roads. Just set it to -12 metres in ground mode and it will sink the road automatically to the right height without making a tunnel. Then put it into elevated road and build a road over the road you just sank, and you have a sunken road underpass. Really good for rail crossings in the middle of nowhere where huge concrete flyovers don't make sense and for inner city highways so you don't have a fuckoff huge elevated six lane highway and instead have a comfy sunken road.

Also absolutely ball shatteringly fantastic for comfy sunken rail in the old town, when they had trains but not subways. And you can turn it back to tunnel mode to go from sunken to tunnel to sunken to tunnel and it looks fan tastic.

>>134651157
I consider it an essential mod.

>>134647935
I thought the Fine Road Height mod was broken.

Steam Workshop is stupid, so if you don't search exactly what you need, with exactly the spelling it has, you get either 6 million things you don't need, or nothing at all.
How was I supposed to know that it was "sunsstorm" and not "sunstrom"? I searched "sunstrom" and "sunstorm", which gave nothing. Then I searched "highway to road", which gave 52 pages of random bullshit that wasn't what I wanted.

Thanks anyway, though.

You know, I've only belatedly come to the realization that there aren't enough Mediterranean buildings on the workshop yet to fully pull this off.

Sure, there's a ton of residential buildings, but there's a startling lack of level 1 Mediterranean-ish commercial buildings of varying tile sizes. Right now I'm using some Russian and British commercial buildings to pad out the theme, but I hate myself for doing that.

Yes. Cims alawys select the fastest way. Different roads have different speed limits. So if going on a highway would be a bit bigger in distance but still faster, they will go. If it's bigger in distance and a bit slower, but avoids traffic - they won't. AI doesn't account for traffic.

'Sup cbg, kspg here.
We recently joined a sort of online "build your own nation and political wet dream" game, which can be found here
nationstates.net
However, the game is aimed mostly at roleplayers, and we don't give a shit about that, therefore the game is extremely boring as of now and we are looking to get you guys into the game so we can maybe do something slightly fun together (like invading other unsuspecting regions).

The game basically works like this:
You create a nation, give it some initial stats as to what the form of government will be and then you start answering "issues" that pop up periodically and will shape you nation based on like a million different stats.
Groups of nations can get together and form a region, which has to be created by one of them, regions can have all sorts of delegates and administrators for various kinds of regional powers, so you can make a sort of organised federal government if you want.

We already have a kspg region with 15ish nations in there and I strongly encourage you to do the same, I'll try to get some other generals in this too if I can, meanwhile, I invite you to at least read the FAQs of the site to see if the thing tickles your autism.

Cheers

>>134830768
>nationstates.net
i once played it as epic memel but it has zero gameplay and its kinda boring

>>134831074
That's why I am trying to get more people in, I wanted to start invading other regions but we need to be more than 10/15 people.
I have a quick look at the forums and there are guys raging like mad at people invading them, so I figured it could be a fun pastime if you don't want to do any roleplay

>>134713627
No, the demand is high because the locations are interesting for passengers.
And I doubled the prices of tickets from default.
It evens out for trains.

Cleverly built metro is barely profitable and since buses are dirt cheap, they can make you loads of money.

You will of course be losing money because of cargo stations/harbors/airport, but that is to be expected.
It is unrealistic af of course, you should have some sort of income from freight trains/lorries [which would also make the train loads more realistic (14% loaded freight trains infuriate me)] and bigger cargo stations of course.
You're the service provider, you should be making money off of this in some way.
As is, cargo stations are just fucking charity for industry.

>>134830768
Is KSP such shit that your entire thread is playing some browser based nation sim instead?
You know, if you don't like your space simulator, you can play other games and post in other threads. Cities Skylines is pretty good. And I hear /cbg/ is pretty cozy.

>>134832047
>cargo stations are just fucking charity for industry.
They keep the trucks off the roads. Having well placed harbors and cargo station can reduce traffic city wide. That's a pretty big deal, and something worth paying for.

>>134832103
I think maybe 20% of the posts in kspg are ksp-related.
They take years between updates so there is nothing really new to talk about and we are trying this shit to kill boredom.

I don't want to talk about how fun or great nationstates is, I just wanted to start doing something with it because we joined and found it is boring as fuck if you don't roleplay or invade regions for the hell of it.

Anyway, now you know it exists, if you guys want to join and make a cbg region (you don't even need to login with an email), then it's good, otherwise no hard feelings, just remember to search for the kspg region and post in there to let us know you are playing.

>>134753445
>those trucks on the right doing the steep turn to get on the highway going towards us
Do something with that, it's gonna cause problems and it looks bad.

>>134831074
You can retrieve your nations if you remember the password, they are stored for a bunch of years before being permanently deleted.

>>134832195
I understand that and I can appreciate that.
But they should not just be that, a moneysink with advantages.

Cargo train stations themselves should be larger, support more railways, loading times should be longer, trains should wait until they are at high loads, they should be expandable and you should get money from lorries using them.

>>134832412
>80% is off-topic
Then, maybe, just, maybe, fuck off /kspg/ and leave the 20% on-topic alone, so it can be a completely on-topic general? Crazy idea, I know! A general without shitposting!
You do know there are like 30+ boards and likely a thousand generals where the kind of off-topic shit you post would actually be on topic, right?

>>134839880
Why do you care that much? Everyone is happy except for a constantly angry faggot who tries to persuade everyone that the devs are the evilest in the world because he didn't read the EULA before buying the game, but he doesn't even talk about ksp so..
Everyone else is completely cool about how the general goes.
Again, what do you care? Did you try to post KSP in there and you were told to fuck off?

He cares cause this isn't your general and not every general is like yours where talking about not-your-game is the norm and everyone unanimously is in agreement to do so.

If anything, the only favor you truly did for this general isn't showing us some neat and interesting game, but bump the thread.

>>134841129
I didn't mean to shitpost in here, and I'm not even against your thread so I'm fine with bumping it.
I just wanted to show you this thing and see if you were interested in joining a couple of generals in there to do some shit together.

I don't see what the problem is here, did I disturb your string of screenshots perhaps?

>>134841395
Well you didn't disturb me, I joined nationstates a while ago.

>>134841536
Well, make a new nation or use one of your existing ones to make a cbg region, then send kspg an embassy request.
We also have wtg on board so you might want to send an embassy to them too

If it fails and your region stays too dead, then let it die and that's it

Hey /cbg/, I want to destroy the big industrial zone and rebuild it on the left side without anything fucking up. How should I go about this?

>>134872404
If you're worried about congestion in a large industrial area, try to limit the amount of times traffic crosses itself. Use a lot of one way streets. I also recommend getting something like Traffic Manager and specifying exactly where (and parcularly in which direction) vehicles can turn, so they cut across each other as little as possible.

Maybe something like this. The existing highway from the top can be converted into a single 6 lane connecting to the highway with a trumpet (once you get to buy that square).

The interchange in the middle would need to be built custom as you'd have kinda like Y-fork with additional highway springing out towards city center, and potential future downtown area.

Well yes, but terraforming tools make that a non-issue. Also, they're adding some kind of terraforming, or "landscaping", tools to the base game.

Anon.
What did you do.

Maybe my thoughts go against 4chan tradition, but I was thinking it would be better with some kind of system that immediately archives threads once they hit bump limit, and deletes or blocks duplicate threads. Of course, this system could only apply to /vg/ (and only if people label the threads correctly), but I don't see why it wouldn't work.
I'm guessing it would piss off the pedants who like to create new duplicate threads because they don't like some detail in the first one, though. (I'm talking about /kspg/ and /wtg/ here, but I'd imagine it applies to others too)
I can see why some would protest such a radical change to the format, but if you ask me, 4chan is 4chan because of the anonymity, not the format.

In the latest war for waterfront contracts, Ronald Drumpf and Chinese competitor Hongbao Builders have both raised the stakes. Hongbao's eponymous founder and CEO, Vincent Hongbao, offered to build the city's new metro system at no extra cost if his company wins the contract to develop the most sought after waterfront property.

"You believe this guy?" Mr. Drumpf asked at a local news conference.

"You get what you pay for, and I guarantee the subway system will be an absolute disaster if it's built by Hongbao. Trust me, I've been building in this city and working with the great people here for over a decade before Hongbao even knew this place existed.

"The Hongbao shopping district? It's alright. But do you want something "alright" for the most valuable land in the city? When people sail into the port, the waterfront development is their first impression, not some dinky markets. You can't muck that up. Let Hongbao stick to building sweatshops in the outskirts of the city.

"We've already done great work on the waterfront and we will continue to do so with the city council's permission. We're going to do great things in this city, because this city is great."

Mr. Hongbao was unavailable for comment.

Yes; Rush Hour, a mod to balance population, a mod to balance transport mode by citizen class, Traffic++V2...they're the main ones I think.

I'm really enjoying your posts anon. Keep it up.

I would also appreciate traffic and zoning maps if possible.

/gsg/ tends to be very autistic with the OP too. I still belive we could be fine with 15 pages and it would allow smaller generals to survive.
As for the auto deletion for duplicate threads, we know the bot moderation is absolutely shit so it wouldnt work very well. Duplicate threads tend to die very fast too, so I dont know if they're that problematic.

I'm pretty sure I would move to the opposite side of the country if I were living in your town. I'm not being eaten by any mythical beings. Fuck that.
