Cities: Skylines

Honestly, not really.

Roundabouts are king, put industrial near highway, you will start over a bunch of times before you get it.

Flick through the thread, check out /r/citiesskylines and just dive in.

My girlfriend has been playing as well - what do you guys think?

She has a penchant for bush it seems.

But otherwise very nice

Has anyone figured out how to use Buses effectively? I cant seem to ever make a line that that gets more then 30-40% usage.

Haha! I'm sure she will find that comment amusing

Thanks, I have about 6k population and I had a roundabout but I think I located it to close to residential area as the cars came off and were straight into it.

hmm, i hit the 80k population last night but im learning to realise that my roads and building placements arent optimal. 90% in the first tile, small industrial in another tile and just roads in the others ive unlocked.

i think ive got around 500k in the bank also, thinking i should demolish everything and start again.

do you need to register an account with Paradox to be able to access steam workshop mods?

I've been logged into my steam account and i can see the mods but when i click on them nothing happens (from the menu of Cities Skylines) Albeit at the bottom there is an option to log into a paradox account...

Divine Pain · 2 Apr 2015 at 11:18

I have this same problem but haven't found a fix. Logging in to paradox doesn't change it :/

I've got no account and have been using mods fine... although I have always browsed the workshop through Steam directly (and just click subscribe, it downloads the mods and they appear in C:S)

I unlocked the Hadron Collider last night... Talk about OP!!! It instantly acts as capacity for 1,000,000 for each of elementry, high school and universities, with no requirement to have good travel routes to it and perfect coverage of absolutely every part of the city... My population almost instantly went to ~100% highly educated, loads of stuff upgraded, and could happily bulldoze every other education building if I want...

Kind ruins the late game at that point to be honest - I haven't unlocked it yet but I assume the Medical Center does the same thing for healthcare :confused:

i downloaded the BF4 Shanghai building

but my favourite is probably Los Pollos Hermanos

Traffic_Warden · 2 Apr 2015 at 19:51

50k Population. Traffic okay some red but flowing quickly.

Cant pull myself away from this, just what SimCity should have been for sure.

Nikumba · 2 Apr 2015 at 19:59

You could do with some water treatment plants looking at that lovely brown slick

Traffic_Warden · 2 Apr 2015 at 20:05

LOL yeh, I am implementing water treatment , but its what we call the black sea.

Goose · 2 Apr 2015 at 22:02

I'm still enjoying it but also getting really frustrated. Once i get to 25k+ population i just cant seem to control the traffic well enough.

snowdog · 2 Apr 2015 at 22:24

I find it annoying that you start with such a small land area, planning is a ***** in the beginning.

On my 2nd city now, and basically the area that is supposed to be high density in my ''plan'' is now low density still, need to replace the low density areas first before upgrading them to high density.

jakeaskham1994 · 2 Apr 2015 at 22:36

I seem to enjoy this game at the start of a new save with a population of less than 10k for some reason.

Had a few saves where I've gotten up to around 30k but the most enjoyable was the first few hours!

Anyone else found this or is it just me?

snowdog · 2 Apr 2015 at 22:39

I personally find the game more interesting from 70k or so, I like solving traffic problems and building new motorways

.

I can spend ages just watching how traffic goes.

233 · 3 Apr 2015 at 11:14

Love this game

Although would love a patch or at least a mod to force traffic to use all lanes

Anything out there yet as I've seen a couple of teasers

ValiantUK91 · 5 Apr 2015 at 12:37

after this update im getting tearing while moving around the map :s anyone else getting this?

EDIT: found a fix turns out if you disable aero theme for task bar it causes tearing ingame
