Offshore wind turbines almost feel like a cheat. 20 MW, no pollution, no useful space taken up, noise pollution not an issue. Sure, they're somewhat expensive, but still easily worth it.

Isn't that the argument in reality too? I'm a fan of the huge offshore wind farm in the North Sea / off the coast of Holland.

Something incredibly addictive seeing buildings get built and upgrade before your eyes. Only thing missing is a monster smashing everything to pieces!
I hope they work on big ol' expansion packs for this , I could see myself paying an additional €20 for natural disasters and the like.

Anyway, hats off to Colossal Order.

 

[Strider]

4 hours gone just like that O_O I haven't even eaten today I had to force myself to stop playing so I can go grab something. Game has an insanely addicting nature to it.

 

[Relix]

Had to stop. 3 hours later! Achieved 10k population, have a healthy extra income pouring in. Will need to work on better education, improve traffic, and all that stuff.

This game is the real deal. Screw SC.

need a money cheat, lol. I have way to ambitious plans

There is a preloaded mod you can activate for unlimited money already

 

[SpacePirate Ridley]

Stange, worked fine for me.

Ok now I get it, you need to put the water spawner first and THEN click how many water you want by cliking that water spawner.

I was trying to put the water spanwer at the same time of trying to change the water level on it.

 

[Durante]

I like your city, Durante.

Thanks! I tried to make it more interesting than a grid layout, even though the latter is probably optimal in terms of space usage. And building time. And traffic management. But not in aesthetics!

 

[dripdripsplash]

Seems like this is game is amazing reading the impressions.

Played banished and I didn't like it. Is it anything like it?

Depends on why you did not like Banished.

 

[Absinthe]

How's the learning curve on this game? This is coming from someone who hasn't played sim city since they were a little kid who had no idea what the fuck they were doing then haha. I want to get into this

It seems easy enough from what I've watched so far, though I have a fair bit of experience with these types of games.

Watch this:

and see what you think. It's a great intro video and you will pick up a pretty good idea of how the game plays.

Thanks! Love the mods already.

 

[Ennosuke]

Great game! I will spend a lot of time with this Feels so much better than SC2013.

 

[Cute Dragon Here]

I still believe that the game needs some tuning in terms of accessibility. Right now, what we have is essentially information overload.

Too much UI.

Great game! I will spend a lot of time with this Feels so much better than SC2013.

I don't know, but SimCity 2013 had a feel that wasn't exactly in this game. It's the small things that make cities feel like actual places instead of just something that looks like an image.

 

[Deaf Spacker]

Is there anyway to toggle grid lines like the last Sim City?

 

[Cute Dragon Here]

Is there anyway to toggle grid lines like the last Sim City?

There isn't.

I really wish there was a game that got the best parts of this game and the 2013 SimCity. As much as I want to love CSL right now, I can't. It feels incomplete.

 

[Jiraiza]

What's an ideal place to put the water drain pipe? Along the current?

Just make sure any water pumps don't end up being in the way of the sewage.

This game is SJW trash.

 

[trinest]

I know it was unsupported, but has anyone else had it just crash on something like a Surface Pro 2?

Try restarting your tablet first.

If that fails, verify the game cache.

 

[ksimm]

4 or 8GB of Memory?

4GB model. I haven't tried it on power rather than battery, though I am sure I have all Intel settings at full power on battery. Only had the Surface for 3 weeks so I am still testing what games work well with it.

Some systems throttle no matter what if it's unplugged, so plug it in first.

Yup, I'm starting to agree, it feels a bit incomplete.

 

[MrGlass]

So i downloaded an intersection and i'm having trouble lining it up with the highway. Anyone know how i can finely rotate it? Using only the keyboard as i'm playing on my laptop.

[Cute Dragon Here]

I think it would be really wrong for me to list the things that SimCity got right but this game didn't in this thread, no?

I think I'm going to try again at building a city tomorrow. Possibly with some other music playing.

 

[Easy_D]

Is that standard color filter? If not which one are you using, loving the colours in this shot.

 

[PHOENIXZERO]

Is your heightmap a PNG? Durante tried using a JPG earlier and it didn't work.

Nah, that wasn't the issue, it's that maybe I scaled it too much but it left very, very little definition on the in game map, I might need to try it again.

 

[Cute Dragon Here]

Is that standard color filter? If not which one are you using, loving the colours in this shot.

Probably the tropical filter.

(They really should rename "colour correction override" to "colour filter" for normal people)

 

[JambiBum]

Wasn't there a patch to make it so that the ground pollution was brown instead of purple? Could have sworn I heard about that.

 

[Matty8787]

I havn't changed anything, it is as it was, set to none.

 

[Cute Dragon Here]

Huh? It's already brown to me. I think it made it on the release copy.

 

[MouldyK]

Finally found an area which let me make a decent Heightmap: http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum...Heightmaps&p=19010514&viewfull=1#post19010514

Also playing the OST from simcity 3000 in the background works very nice.

 

[TemplaerDude]

I'd be interested in seeing that list.

 

[Kinyou]

Has anyone tried the game on a 2.40ghz system? Is it playable?

 

[XiaNaphryz]

I'd be interested in seeing that list.

There would be a lot of interface/UX stuff on that list I'm guessing, but then again the UI/UX team for Maxis alone could have been bigger than the entire dev team for Skylines.

 

[JambiBum]

Huh? It's already brown to me. I think it made it on the release copy.

Weird, I have a release copy but mine is purple.

 

[Cute Dragon Here]

Has anyone tried the game on a 2.40ghz system? Is it playable?

Depends on what exact model.

A quad-core mobile i7 that has a base speed of 2.4 GHz will run it like a champ, but a Pentium 4 is so below minimum spec it's laughable. Just saying.

 

[Mayjaplaya]

There isn't.

I really wish there was a game that got the best parts of this game and the 2013 SimCity. As much as I want to love CSL right now, I can't. It feels incomplete.

Oh that's really disappointing. Hopefully it gets patched in if enough players suggest it?

 

[kudoboi]

man is the traffic AI broken

I think i spent an hour just trying to figure out how to get rid of the traffic congestion to no avail

 

[Easy_D]

I havn't changed anything, it is as it was, set to none.

Ah, maybe it's just different trees on a different map giving me a different impression.

Weird, I have a release copy but mine is purple.

Yep, mine's definitely purple too, made me think of the swamp in Majora's Mask

 

[Cute Dragon Here]

Normally, most traffic issues cam be boiled down to poor city layout.

 

[fantomena]

What are you people playing "new game" or in the sandbox editor?

 

[The Llama]

Have my city up to about 18k population but I have completely flat demand for everything. Not sure exactly what to do... Hm...

 

[CarbonFire]

More taxes. Or, conversely, less taxes. Definitely do something with taxes.

 

[elyetis]

Probably many bad choice, but my round about city.

 

[T.O.P]

game looks damn ugly wth

is there any hidden setting that i'm missing? the aa is pretty much absent

 

[Klyka]

Guys. Guys. I can not overstate how important the placement of pedestrian walkways in clever and proper ways is.
You will help your traffic SO MUCH and people can get everywhere much easier.

It's insane actually.
