The relationship seems to work between Paradox and their dev teams. As the artists work dries up as release approaches with all the assets well in place, the artists start making different skins (as an example) and Paradox release them as cheap DLC. It's a gamble on their part really, if the game tanks (I know) they lose out, and the (albeit often justified) DLC hate seems to overshadow the fact that people need to pay bills.
Modding/editor question.
Is the ability to design a specific building ingame? preferably with no purpose other than to plop a unique structure in a certain place. IE can I add to the pool of buildings or would I have to redesign an existing one? Or am I overestimating the editing capabillity at release?
I uploaded my save game last night and it got rejected this morning. I wondered why when I got the email and now I know. So I'll do it again this afternoon.
No key yet for me from GMG. I'm at work now so it really doesn't matter anyway, won't be home until 4:30. Then I have to download the 3GB which will take me a few hours on my farm country internet, so with luck I'll be playing by 8:00 or so tonight.
All the props to him and him only.

THE HYPE IS GETTING EVEN CRAZIER
And I am leaving work one hour earlier...I guess that I will instagib the hell out of everyone in UT until time the flood gates open.
Finishing at 3:30pm here in the UK, gonna get everything I need done for tomorrow morning before release. Woo. This is the most excited I've been for a game in ages!
ya know nuuvem getting that key about 5 hours ago so I could play it at work would have been pretty awesome. Ahh well, guess I'll spend tomorrow playing it instead!

So I need some explanation about the asset editor. So it looks like you can use these creations in a normal, achievement-based game, correct? It also looks like assets are based upon the functions of normal buildings too.
Can you make custom buildings that function like commercial, residential, etc?
Watching Skye build his container 'park', it kinda looks like you can set the entertainment output as well - or is it just a static function of the size?

I rethinked my UT plan and when I'll get home, I will sleep, then wake up, start the DL, prepare coffee and prepare to be groggy next day at work.

I have this same Mac Book Retina but with 16GB Ram. I would like to know if my Graphics card can handle it though? It's an Intel Iris Pro. I have no clue what that is.

Anyways, I love his container park idea. Looks like a very thematic way to bring entertainment to an industrial area.
What about farms? Right now the farming industrial buildings are one of the more disappointing parts of this game, because they look so tiny. Would someone be able to build a large farming industrial asset - something that looks like a big field - and still be functional for industrial output?
The ingame editor only allows for "park" style functions, no shopping/farming etc. Basically its a empty building lot that you can outfit with decoration objects (happiness) and some utility objects like parking lots.

Are existing buildings re-designable? One of my few complaints from what I've seen is the fairly basic building variety and I was hoping it'd be possible to kind of spice it up.
