I might do? Not sure, there are too many mods that I have. But to be able to do cool things, mods are either required or save so much time.
I don't think I have any mods that do that. The only mod in that sort of area that I have is the one that allows me to use "European" and "International" buildings on the same map. I do also use Prop Align tool to create hedge rows, Move It! to place things appropriately and Prop/Tree Anarchy to let me place stuff where I want to. This map in particular has 0 zoning on it. All buildings are placed individually by hand.
NVM, I think it comes with the game (not sure if it required DLC for so). Anyways, what do you think about my Canadian-based city Mallence?
Its difficult for me to comment on, since I don't live in Canada. So here is some general thoughts on stuff. One question I do have is... How is your city so unprofitable? Part of the answer to that may be your staff issues. In most city building games, the implicit goal is to level up all of your buildings to the highest level, as if you have created a Utopia where everyone is highly educated etc. Which sounds nice on paper, but Cities Skylines takes the more realistic view of that not being possible. If you level up your entire population to max education, you are left with no one to fill the more menial jobs. This means you can't build any new industry, since there is no unskilled labour to work there before it has the chance to level up to meet high skilled population. Hence it goes kaput. So you may want to consider building some lower level buildings, and areas with lower education standards.
There are no robotic workforce? I guess it does not go very far in future then? Haven't played that game, so bit clueless.
Sadly not. As such, still need to have a fair chunk of unskilled labour to keep the city running. Haven't posted this video of mine in this thread before, so if anyone likes roundabouts, well, you might like this video xD
I'll consider your thoughts into consideration. Here's my responses: I think a train station would be a good idea. Don't know what I would use it for though. The junction was placed there by the map maker (the map is Port Nelson FYI). I might remove that airport and place a bigger one (the International Airport) in South Mallence. Don't really know why I would need a lighthouse though. Most of the ships would take the bigger I placed the junction there only because a few houses were have issues with garbage piling up. The single bridge has more lanes than North Mallence though, and so does the whole layout of South Mallence The 2 big junctions were there so I can increase residential (workers issue is still relevant). I can connect the motorway with the South area, but not right now due to the fact that South Mallence is still just roads.
I would probably do something like the following Of course if you are just building low residential suburbs, you could probably tone some of this down a bit. At a high density level, this won't solve all problems, but it should help out a bit.
When designing a car centric city, keeping the traffic flowing is difficult with traffic lights. Especially since cities skylines doesn't intelligently control them like in the real world, where they may change colour based upon who is waiting, as well as change in a specific pattern (in combination with other junction's lights) to keep traffic flowing. As such roundabouts are a great high volume solution in cities skylines. The lack of intelligent traffic light timing is why putting two junctions next to each other doesn't work. Essentially, the lights stay on for a certain amount of time, if only 10 cars can fit on the short section of road between the intersections, then only 10 cars can flow through that section of road. At which points the lights are still green, blocking other roads, but no one is moving, since the 10 cars are long gone. This completely bottlenecks the entire road system. Causing huge tailbacks. If you only have one bridge connecting the two sides of your city, and it can only flow 10 cars per light change, then major traffic issues will arise. Some other cities of mine, cause why not eh This one was a bit of an experiment to see how far I could go with roundabouts I would recommend giving it a full screen since its a little more funky than first glance may suggest. Its essentially a row of 4 roundabouts linked together in a line, that line then twists around to allow each one to serve a neighbourhood going in a certain direction. Its not as effective as a magic roundabout (similar to the video above), since cars going from one side to the other still have to traverse the middle roundabouts, as shown below. But it was good fun to see it in action The increase in distance isn't good for the environment though, and unlike on smaller scales, it doesn't encourage mass transit or walking/cycling. Since mass transit has to take the same route, and the beefy road infrastructure acts as walls to walkers and cyclists.
I could do the rotary connecting the highway to South Mallence. Also, I added another bridge already (though on the other side of the first bridge) --- Post updated --- The rotary has been implemented.
Brisban is a city based in the north of the Lake District, UK. It’s located here: It’s a new city I’m starting and it’s meant to be more realistic than the others. Originally it was meant to be in Wiltshire but the vinilla maps in CS wont allow it, so Lake District it is
