Cities: Skylines

Those pipes ideas just sound tiresome and monotonous. It is something I doubt many will even give it a second glance

It's a game about tiresome monotonous city building... managing a bunch of different systems - taxes, traffic etc. and trying to keep everything going without it becoming a problem

At the moment the pipe system is completely and utterly pointless - it doesn't even have the slight challenge the electricity system has that you have to be careful not to cut-off districts from the grid when re-zoning etc... It's literally just "oh, no water... spend 1 second laying pipe... done" why bother having a water/sewage system in the game at all?
 
Im up for a better water system. Loved that in sc4. You are right that now its pretty meaningless except for outflow and intake. In fact right now it barely makes sense with combined pipes and no need for ring mains.

I dont know It seems to over complicate something that has been dumbed down and likely for a very good reason.

Have some advice from a traffic engineer

Really struggling to find road layouts that work... just don't get what to do. Find the boring grid works best, even despite trying all kinds of ugly stupid stuff. Help! Any decent screenshots or videos that can help too?
 
Only gripe I have so far is the traffic AI, as in using the correct lanes. Also need fires to spread, and increase crime rate. Oh and the efficiency of garbage trucks is... Garbage, its not realistic that a single truck can only empty 10 households.

Would be nice to see the deaths handled better too, pretty sure relatives could drive them to the hospital and then transport to the cemetery rather than have 45 or so hearse's driving around. Just a few things :) loving the game though.

Needs a few tweaks, but I'm just hanging back letting the cash pile up at present before I do any major upgrades etc.
 
Loving this game. It's got depth in spades, however you have to pay attention and sometimes the issues in your design aren't transparent enough.

In a way though, it's quite nice to be asked to think about your setup without having the answer handed to you on a plate.
