Is this how hell looks like?

Well, no crashes today. Someone on the Paradox forums suggested that this might be an interface/UI bug, and that I should reinstall Visual C++ 2010 and repair .NETframe. I did the former, and this seems to have helped. Or I'm just more cautious. Anyway, I'm happy now.

As for the game, I'm moving at a glacial speed, but I guess that's okay. I'm fiddling around with details. I still dig how you can connect parks and pathways. Here it's two plop parks (Small Park and Small Playground), connected with each other and to the road behind the houses:

This even works where it probably shouldn't work. It's definitely fun. You can snap a fire station to the taxi way of the airport. Oh, and it's day of the open door. Go and watch planes and keep your head down:

Also, I really love playing around with trains here. I know that metros are more efficient, but who cares. They also let you make awesome city tours at breakneck speed.

Here I had to upgrade that roundabout in order to get rid of a gridlock.

Let's see when we will get bigger stations. My somewhat quaint downtown terminal.

Train fever, Cities: Skylines style.

I'm starting to face an annoying deathcare problem - old graveyards are filling up. Does anyone have any deathcare-related tips?

 

[Havoc]

Burn the bodies.

 

[Alienman]

Turjan Very nice city!

Angthoron Just embrace the zombie apocalypse. If not. The only solution is to build loads of crematories

 

[Angthoron]

So it's basically same as trash incinerators? Wow

 

[Alienman]

Hehe yep. The sims don't care much about life and death. Grandma died? Just throw her on the pile!

Gonna make myself only village + farms city. Problem is with having to build parks to beatify the area. I would love to make the villages in woodlands, but trees give no beauty + you plant them... one... by... one. It's fucking stupid.

Turjan Very nice city!

Thanks. I made sure I caught the nicer spots .

Yup, they copied it in the most lazy way ever. I think they should tinker a bit with the mechanics, like convert it into an urn park with unlimited capacity. Fortunately, they don't pollute. I think the ingame description mentions something similar to that their sweet smell always reminds you of the fragility of life.

By the way, the first image in my last post, the one with two parks, were originally a "Small Park" and a graveyard next to it. I reused the space.

Hehe yep. The sims don't care much about life and death. Grandma died? Just throw her on the pile!

I'm not too sure about this. I think the game has somewhat of a death fascination, atually. Just look at some of the rewards. Fountain of life and death? Angel of Death? This may not be the actual names (I'm too lazy to look those up), but they have a somewhat grave connotation.

Edit: Speaking of the Fountain of Life and Death, they probably should not run it with gasoline.

My methods of city planning so far is 1. boring street grid 2. highway for long-distance transport and 3. as many city entrance points as possible. Currently I have 3 interstate entrances, 3 train stations and one seaport.

Cargo train terminals traffic is indeed insane. Often it's just endless queue of trucks both ways.

 

[Keshik]

Man, you guys have way better cities than mine

 

[Shadenuat]

Lol a park built on a place where landfill was turned red&orange and all leaves from trees flew off, same thing happens with regular trees if you plant them on purple ground

Looks like Corruption from Terraria

Meanwhile in Sim City 2013: mod completely recreates Grove Street from GTA:SA


Just bought this. Coffee machine already running. Gonna be a long, long night.

Shadenuat: You can remove that pollution by having some forest industry on the spot for a while. Forest not necessary.

Speaking of forest industry, once a week, I water the trees.

It spilled a bit over.

 

[Havoc]

A new start. The tree brush is great.

I would love a tool/mod that changes trees that the houses use, so it would be uniform. You can see on the screenshots that they use different trees than the surroundings.

 

[Alienman]

I think the honeymoon is over for my part. I was really hoping this would top SimCity 4, but I have no interest in playing it anymore. It kinda makes me sad. Feels a bit like with the JA-series. It's over man... game over!

20 people and unity engine, quite amazing result vs 1 gazillion people and EA.

welp this game in month or two will be more robust and awesome than SC4 ever was:

New difficulty mod!! (Work in progress)

This one adds an amazing new feature:

'Added a "work buffer" to residential buildings, every time a worker leaves for work it goes down, when the worker reaches work it goes up. Takes some time but if the residents keep failing to reach work the house should start showing "No resources". Houses with this will get abandoned after awhile and have no tax accumulation. Also if I understand it correctly this won't apply to existing buildings, only new buildings after the mod is loaded. '
In addition:

• Increased the traffic disappear timeout for service vehicles/cars from 150/100 to 450/450.
• Increased the number of residents who travel to offices. Should be tripled, but not sure if working correctly.
• Removed progression milestone cash reward.
• Increased construction costs (especially highways, subways, and wonders).
• Increased maintenance costs by 40%.
• Increased chance of Cims using their car.
• Greatly increased unlock price and allow 25 tiles.
• Increased tax rate effect on happiness.

Looks great. Tell us when you hit the hard limit (250k), which includes trees that come with houses, street trees, etc.

Anyone have like super dense downtowns yet? What's the highest skyscraper in the vanilla game? They look underwhelming from what I see so far. I'm referring to the level 8 CO$$$ in Simcity 4 type of skyscrapers. This sort, the very tall and majestic looking ones. It's damn satisfying to get those in SC4, and it's pretty challenging to get them from scratch too. Love that about SC4. It's like getting an epic weapon in an RPG that looks really unique except you're playing a city builder.

Makes sense to me. Burning bodies prevents a zombie apocalypse. I don't know why you'd want to bury a corpse in an airtight box to stink forever, anyway.
