Is alright although I feel bits of it are broken. Had a city where I got constant warnings for a lightning storm and another that got a large amount of meteors and nothing else. I really do enjoy how the water physics and disasters get along though.

>No city building game where you get to drive around and race through your city. Suffer through your own transport system.

I think that's what cities skyline is missing, not enough perspective, you just sit in the clouds looking at the map.

Fuck yeah, I've missed these threads! I remember when Skylines came out and /cbg/ was full of sewage waterfall pictures. Good times.

>>163157247
That's a damn good idea. Wouldn't even need to be graphics intensive to be enjoyable.

City building game with minimalist graphics, really nice road building, and a much better building generating sorta thing. It's not blocky shit like CitiesSL, or SimCity.

there was the simcity 4 driving mode and streets of simcity, but both were fairly arcade-style and your actual traffic situation didn't matter.

>>163200250
When starting off, I just connect a two lane road right to the highway. It doesn't create any traffic problems until you get the highway roads.

>>163200693
>>163200913
>>163201393
>>163201534
I don't like those roads at all. There are many ways to create a much better exchange, without stoplights. Even that first webm instanly becomes valid if you replace the top two 6-laners with highways. Also don't make roundabouts with 6-lane roads because they always create stoplights. Why would he even do that.

Back to the point, you should learn what combinations of roads create stoplights. 2-lane never have them when connecting with another 2-lane. 4-lane and 6-lane don't create them if they end at a T intersection where the top part of T moves only one way. Also if you connect a 2 lane road to a 4 or 6 lane road that continues beyond, and make the 2-lane road one way (away from the main road) it won't create a stoplight. Much easier to experiment yourself than having it explained in words by me.

An amazing highway exit is surprisingly simple, picrelated. It creates a roundabout of the highway itself, and it can support a surprisingly big load. I have a moderate size industry block connected by two of those and it never gets heavier than in the picture. The highway traffic doesn't slow down or stop in any way or any time.

The game is easy, once you have a few dozen hours under your belt you can do whatever the fuck you want with layouts and it will run like on butter.

>>163249308
Here's another main type of intersection I use It supports a much higher load since it has a separate ramp for each direction. Notice no stoplights. You can make it even better if you don't converge all the ramps to a single road. But that's only if it will be extremely busy. They're very complex, use IRL maps for inspiration.

He was developing the game for 2 years on >Java and then dropped it to start again with C++ like a sane person. We haven't even seen the new version, and it's extremely early into development, since he's making an engine from scratch. So there's no need for such specific questions. Here's an old video from the java version that shows zoning.

Expanding industrial areas. Even have a small town for workers.

Do cims think about distance at all when choosing school/job/export route? It seems like children go to random schools, and industries export shit through the most retarded means possible (A factory 100 meters from a highway exit decides to ship it's goods through a port at the other end of the map, even if there's a port halfway closer)

This is why statistical system would have been much better than agent simulation. PC's are not yet ready for that, so devs do shortcuts.

Has absolutely nothing to do with that. C:S just has no sense of style and a shitty rendering system that makes everything cartoony (in a bad way) and blurry. If mere mods can make this game look good, imagine what a competent developer with a competent engine could achieve.

If CS supported diagonal roads with houses properly attached to them I'd play it a lot more right now.

you do realise you can turn off the tilt shift effect if you want and I really don't see what you mean by it being "Cartoony"

Caesar, children of the nile and some other 3D titles are alright. Even Citybound with 0 art seems to have it's own style. CS style is just bad.

I'm learning chinese (yeah I hate myself) and I saw CS has traditional chinese. The problem is unless chinks have hawk eyes, it's impossible to read any text, it's almost microscopic. Does anyone else here plays the game in chinese (either traditional or plebeian)? Is this why asians have different eyes? From all the squinting ?

Are the DLC for CS worth my monies? I already have the original one. There is a way to unlock DLC in original games in steam using cheeki breeki but I'm afraid gaben will suspend my account.

After Dark, yes. Snowfall I did without. Natural Disasters looks cool but I'm waiting for a sale.

The creator content packs I personally like but I don't want to get into the paid mods debate again.
