  • We're doing a small speed build challenge, attempting to build a realistic-looking small city from scratch, complete with a thriving mixed-density downtown, a big container shipping port with a coal power plant and advanced water treatment and pumping facilities, a pharmaceutical factory, a commercial strip mall, and of course lots of cozy tree-rich family-friendly neighborhoods! Hope you enjoy!

    in terms of North American development, I grew up in a rural/suburban town a half-hour drive from a medium-sized city. when I brought my gf (from NYC) to visit, she commented that it looked like someone took a region of gentle grassy hills and small patches of forest, and just sprinkled random houses and small farms all over it.
    it’s quaint and charming, and nice to have all the greenery, but at the same time it’s not very pedestrian-friendly - there are sidewalks along the main roads, but when you try walking around it almost feels like you’re committing some crime haha

    You're one of my favourite CS creators! I spent 4.5 years living in Denmark recently and loved it. Density is a necessary thing when you're geographically small I guess. One of the things I noticed early living in DK was you never feel very far from civilisation. I come from New Zealand and there's just massive stretches of land that feel very isolated - didn't have that feeling for 4.5 years!

    The only thing I notice is that you cross a lot of roads with the railroads. I guess sometimes it's unavoidable, but most cities would try to separate those two as much as possible.

  • @MrTwisted003
    @MrTwisted003 6 місяців тому

    I agree with the open residential sprawls. To me they are "roomy" and spacious. And still preserve some of the nature around the homes. We have a house in a fairly tight (close together) neighborhood, it's on a cul-de-sac around the corner from a school, but it has this massive Live Oak in the front yard that has been there at least 20 years before the house was built, which was in '68. It is nice when developers do what they can to preserve some of the nature within a development. My parents got the house in the late 80's and the house was about 20 yo then, and the tree was estimated to be at least 40-50 yo in '89. I see that a lot around here, with houses much older, and a few newer developments in town since.

    The surface tool of the developerMode is awesome, however I would not use it to go so into detail for low level buildings... as they level up, they will change appearance and base shape, especially resident buildings get bigger... so all the groundwork details might look weird then. But you can place lvl 5 buildings anyway and go from there :)

    Still think what the game needs is several "scenario" starters.. I know we have mods to unlock things in a more natural way from a "why this city started" stand point. But being forced to unlock all when you want to start a farming town, or a town that popped up because of the mining industry or a harbor town? A town that popped up because of it being on the train route or even a town based on tourism from the get go.
    I really do hope we see modifications to specialized industry to be closer to Cities 1 eventual "industrial parks" style

    That's a great build fella. I find using the sand to fill in at and around the rail station works really nicely too. One thing that's just come to me though is: what happens to the surfaces we pull about from an asset when that asset levels up? I've extended/reshaped asset surfaces like you but I've been so busy making new maps that I don't think I've checked my actual builds to see!

    Brother, you are welcome to stay here anytime. In the countryside you can enjoy acres (sorry, "square kilometers"... I guess that sounds nicer) of private rolling forest with a brook to fish in or just sit and enjoy the sounds of nature. Right next door is a huge state forest with miles and miles of trails, preserved forever against development. I have a more modest suburban home too, if youd prefer, with direct bike access that runs the length of the state.
    We can sit, barbeque, and look out over the Green Mountains, drinking the best beer on earth (made just down the road) and talk about America.
