Cities Skylines

Just play SimCity (2013) and see what a trash game this really is.

I played Cities when it came out.
Did they ever fix the roads?

probably one of the worst pieces of bait ive ever seen. you should be ashamed

>Thinking SimCity2013 was even remotely not the most horrible game ever

Whats wrong with the roads?

Traffic AI was completely broken, in a six lane road cars would only ever use a single lane, once your city hit a certain size literally every road would back up and emergency services would never reach their destination and everything just burnt to the ground.
People were coming up with all kinds of insane junctions and bypasses to alleviate the problem but it was always there.

Guys im currently working on a map i'm expecting to finish and upload to the workshop today.

Do you guys like it? Any feedback?

It's supposed to be a very huge, flat map with all the stuff you need so you can easily expand and build a very big city. It has alot of highways and roundabouts so the idea is that it has all the grundwork done and you can quickly build a massive and good looking city in it.

Any suggestions?

It's still like that. The devs have said they'll never overhaul traffic AI.

>Did they ever fix the roads?

Not really they keep adding different stuff that increased road congestion. The most recent expansion being the biggest offender.

yeah this is mostly a problem when you build with a density thats too higjh. If you want good traffic, be sure to build huge maps with big roads and use mods like traffic management for your busy intersections

if you build it like that the traffic would be perfect, but it takes some more time than to just plop down roundabouts and intersections and let the AI do it cause obviously that wont work well

I tried to play this once during a free weekend. Am I just stupid or is the tutorial fucking rubbish? Everyone was bitching on twitter and the game was telling me to connect water/sewage, but I couldn't figure out what exactly I had to do and whether the stuff I had laid down was actually working or not.
Is there a better tutorial out there?

>Is there a better tutorial out there?

lol just play vanilla new game

I remember being hooked up on Cities Skylines so that I went as far as reading civil engineering books only to understand how to build a proper functioning city. Then, just as other anons mentioned, it all got ruined by absolutely preposterous AI traffic management.

Truly an amazing game, 10/10.

plz gimme some feedback or a "good job user would play when its finished" or something to motivate me to put it on the workshop today, only need to do the mountains, river and beaches

honestly AI traffic isn't as bad but you need to think before building. Understand how a city works

Dont just drag grids untill your map is full

>Think what you want, where you want
>Use highways to get to certain parts of the map
>Use main road connections to go from highways to different parts
>Use smaller connections to go from different parts to certain blocks

and so on
pic related is the principle

or just use a map like i'm making where its literally easy mode

I have never built a full-on grid city, to be fair. I'm more of a classic european layout fan, which may be a problem itself, I don't know. But thanks regardless, user.

it looks fine, but of course you can only judge it on a full city. your roads might become cluster fucks

well try it a bit like this, european roads have the same principles it only looks less griddy, but the system stays the same. Compare it to a leaf of a tree, or bones/arteries in a human body. It goes from big, to smaller, to smaller etc.

Thanks, i dont think so, the roads are very huge. But then again there is plenty of space all around so its easy to fix. Also has alot of nice public transportation support cause its all so flat

is it better than simcity4?

some aspects yes, some aspects no. overall i'd say Sim City 4 is a better game, only just though

simcity was a classic but it shows its age, unless you dont care about that

its overal easy the best simulation game released in the last decade. Epsecially if you take in mind how popular it is and how many DLC it has, not alot of companies can pull that of. Also workshop mod support is amazing, you literally have unlimited fun with this game.

how would you do the roads then?

Do people actually want maps with prebuilt roads? Half the fun in city builders is starting off with a few tiny houses and seeing your city organically grow

I always build ugly grids

I can play sekiro on high but this game still lags to high hell for me. Is it my 2nd gen i3?

it only has the highways and main connections laid down, you still need to do the actual things.

For me a big reason i never build a big map is that i fuck up the traffic and never think shit through, this map has the things thought through so its easy mode to build a huge city

then use my map as an example and build from there

also because the map is like this you already know where all your highway connections are so you can start on planning your Public Transportation from early one.

So its really easy to make a huge city without fucking up in a map like this. It's almost impossible to make your map too dense and get clogged traffic now.

>Can't be fucked to make a big city
>end up with a bunch of small rural towns peppered around the map, the biggest being the county seat.

recently been wroking on a european build centered round a medieval old town that features a bridge with buildings on pls r8

DUDE WEED LMAO. Seriously though weed is for fucking losers.

That's why your mom smoked it while pregnant with you. She knew you'd grow up to be a loser.

it's unironically nicer to relax with after work
alcohol makes me feel like shit

>inb4 /pol/ hurr durr muh degeneracy autism

thats why im gonna shill my map to you, it has all the grunt work done, easy to make a big map

looks good at night too

ok i need to finish the mountains and rivers to make it look good then im gonna release it

r8ed

looks nice, wish i could make stuff this artistic

don't you think something's wrong with you when you need drugs to cope?

I don't need them, but it's a very nice feeling
good quality marijuana is a bit expensive so its something I reserve for a long week every once and a while

Any recommendations for a nice tropical map?

>smoke hashish for 4 years straight

go back to r/drugs, junkie

>uuuhhh uuuhh uhhh POL uuhhu uhhhhu hh REDDIT
the absolute state of druggies lmao at your life

>Grid highways
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

the worst thing a map can have is prebuilt roads

whats wrong with it? You can always edit them slightly thats what makes this map useful

why? ;( its super easy to edit

You on the left, except you're not white. Keep toking up because it's what your loser friends and (((entertainers))) told you that it's a good thing and cool.

For ages I've looked for a map that satisfied all my requirements. Mountains large river and estuary, considerable coastline. Allowing me to experiment with different environment's whilst having a city kinda based off of Copenhagen. Finally found one and my build is coming along nicely.

its been years and SimCity fags are still seething about its success?

how about this?

Dude. Give it a rest. No one cares for your autistic grids. They're seen as uninspiring and boring. Seriously, go be autistic somewhere else.

its not autistic

I fucking tried it on the free weekend last week and that was a mistake
I sank over 60 hours in it since

You and your grids are super fucking autistic.
You're fishing for attention and not getting it so here you are pushing your shit map that no one gives a shit about.
Take a hint.

I have this on my Switch backlog.

Should I play on switch, or is it terrible and I should just get it in PC?

I fucking love this game so much

No mountains, no islands, weak estuary sorry

well if you use a bigger than 25 tile map you can build in the mountains and make islands

I always use 81. The map in that image doesn't appear to have any mountains tho

I suck at mountains tho
