all my loli wolf companions are so moe
I spent 40k to made my pipes efficient, the water billing thing still costs too much
I agree, water is expensive and inefficient, while electricity is too efficient and cheap atm. I think the cost per MW needs a boost, I never really break the bank with my advanced wind turbines, and once I get nuclear it gets even cheaper.
Political statement about alternative energy solutions that have been aggressively lobbied against by oil and gas.
Remove the polluting factor and wait. Pollution disappears fast.
Remove the polluting element and the pollution will go away fairly quickly.
Just empty the garbage dump asap and then move it once it's empty. It doesn't take very long for ground pollution to go away. You might have some complaining citizens in the meantime, so keep an eye on them and if you must add a clinic if they get sick.

Is the game broken for anyone else? I'm loading my city and all I'm getting is a black screen with a spinning icon and a progress bar that doesn't move.
We were debating earlier today about how cims travel to their jobs, and someone on reddit did some experiments on just that, and looked into public transport as well. Really interesting stuff.

You don't need to connect industrial or commercial with each other or an outside connection, they work fine being isolated, but he found that residential should be in close proximity, so it appears distance is a factor in cims taking jobs. He then connected cargo stations between the industrial and commercial areas and banned heavy traffic outside of them, and it looks like a good trick to ease congestion on your main highways.
Do you have any mod's or assets loaded? I ran into loading problems when I had broken assets and a faulty mod that was doing what you are experiencing and causing my game to freeze or crash.

I do but none that I've installed recently, it was working fine yesterday.
Same here, I end up starting again until that city screws up.

The bulldozer is your friend. Industry will rebuild. Adjust your road layout to something more efficient as time goes by.
Keep in mind any mod you're subscribed to will auto-update when it is updated in the workshop, meaning an update to a mod you've had for a week can suddenly break your game.

Placeholder roads would be nice.
A lot of them now automatically update. My game was crashing from a mod I didn't even run in my game, I just unsubscribed from everything and my game loaded. I then just resubscribed to my mods one at a time until I found the problem. It was a real pita.
Maybe check the mods you have subscribed in the workshop and see if there's any were updated recently and have comments about them breaking their games.

Fantastic, guess I'll uninstall them one by one.
seems like a stupid way to upgrade. having longer driveways would be nice to toggle on if I wanted to add lanes.
This should only apply to actual mods (I don't think assets can break your game), and you can probably check the page for a mod first and see if other people are having a problem. Usually it'll have feedback right away

Assets don't break the game but in my experience they can the game hang when loading. I do have a lot of assets subscribed and running so that might be my problem.I have a asset addiction, I love checking out people's creations :/

This is happening to me too. It worked fine yesterday and now I can't play at all. It won't load old games and won't start new ones. I only have 3 or 4 mods (25-tiles, transit line colours, auto-demolish, and maybe 3 or 4 interchange assets).
EDIT - It's the auto-bulldoze mod. It can't load as of today for a lot of people, so it's making the game hang.

I'm sure this has been asked dozens of times, but how is this game for a total city-building noob? I really only have managing experience from Civilization, and I tried Cities in Motion for a while but it seemed a little overwhelming. Does the game have good tutorials?

Such a fantastic game and so much fun once you figured out how to balance all your city's needs.

Some impressions:
I was trying to reconfigure my small town (~3000k) to better move traffic on and off the entrance highway last night but ran into some issues. It seemed like it would be a good approach to have the two roads that connect to the highway be one way roads until they are able to connect to the major 4 lane road road I have next to industry, but the game wasn't hooking up the one way streets in the right direction. Any thing I might be doing wrong? It didn't seem like there was a way to toggle which way the one way streets are going.

The one way streets are in the direction you build them. So if you connect two pieces by going against the grain it will be messed up.
I figured it was something like that, and I was screwing with deleting many roads and adding them back while paused but couldn't get the effect I wanted. I'll try again I guess.

Nice looking city. I love watching the cims scurry out of the metro stations like ants.I like how you zoned in the middle of your roundabout, I've been contemplating doing it but I don't want to cause any traffic congestion.
You can also select a one way road, hit the upgrade tool, and right click your roads to reverse direction.
If you have the latest patch, you can use the upgrade option to flip-flop oneway roads too at no cost. So if you placed a 2-lane, 1-way road the wrong way, select that as your road tile, select upgrade, and right-click to flip the section you want to flip. You do have to do this for every section though
Edit: Grief indeed
If you select empty, then they will lower to zero percent and you can move or delete them.
The only way they will intake again is if you select the option or have some weird mod interaction.
for real? mhmm I have the auto-empty mod, it probably also automatically re-opens it in that case. I'll just turn off the mod for the time being until I've deleted them all lol. Thanks!

It does.
Trying to buy this off Nuuvem using Hola (set to Brazil), but I just get a 404 when trying to log in. If log in before I activate the VPN, it drops my login.
Any suggestions?
edit: nvm, I fixed it... somehow. Spent 10 minutes clicking "Fix it" in the plugin and eventually it got through.

Checkout New Game +.
Lets you unlock all roads at the start, while still keeping progression. Also lets you change the starting cash a bit to pay for some additional roads.

One of the better implemented mods too.

Naw, I would start a new city leave them uneducated and unemployed. Basically, implement the Republican proposed budget. Also leave abandoned buildings.
Complete forgot about elementary schools and high schools. Only had one of each and am at 50k population. Didn't seem to matter much. Uneducated people are still a minority. Guess educated people move in. Weird that building a bunch of schools seem to increase city death rates lol.
Any tips on meeting city demands without mods? Running out of land to build more zones. Wanna hit 75k for airport.

you have to turn off the police, and make your citizens unhappy. However, if you have a lot of level 3+ buildings, they will go abandoned because they're more sensitive to unhappiness.
If that's the case, the easier way is to start a new city till you unlock police, then not build any police, but jack the tax rate high.
