Metro also has routes, but you have to create the underground tunnels first before connecting the stations in a route. And metro tunnels follow basically the same rules as roads, so if you want to cross under a river or lake, you need to have enough room for the tunnel to angle down.
Show your dominance by polluting the river with poo.

Are dams not an option for that area? Is it to flat?
Do what they do in real life. Rebuild and act surprised in 20 years when it happens again.

It looks terrible, I know
Nothing like the beautiful structured, neat cities of some others here
Actually looks pretty good. Industrial hellscapes are the best hellscapes.
Is that a full 9-tile plot?

Woohoo! Have fun man!
Welcome to the Shitwater Mayors Club, bro!
I don't think I've opened that up yet. Not sure about dams, I'll have to look into it.

Srsly doing those mofos a favor!
Yeah you can just build a dam and shut it down so that no water can flow through.
Yeah, still some space left, but I think I'll soon start a second city and apply all the stuff I've learned from this first game.

I seem to be stuck at 34,000 and have no RCI demand at all. I am trying to move zones around but when I swap zones (Delete Industrial and Residential zones from different places and switch them around) no one wants to move in quickly even though you'd think the companies I just closed would want to reopen elsewhere and the Cims would want to get new jobs there.
I really want to start over fresh but am afraid to get to the same point. Any tips?

Game certainly looks CPU bound,
Of note the game speed does pull more CPU as I expected, city of 2k at full speed versus regular speed boosts cpu usage by 12%.
For reference running a Core I-7 920 at 3.8Ghz around 40% of each of the 4 cores, evenly distributed.

I'm averaging >90% CPU load at 100k citizens on full speed (i5 4670k)

Yeah, the good news is in 10 years with 8+ cores being standard, they should tear through this game. Certainly future proof, and makes the developer choice of allowing all tiles to be used through mods a wise one.

hehe, so few games actually thread this well, so your CPU it getting put through it's paces far more then normal.
Based on the success, yeah probably. At least in this case if we get hung out to dry, we do have the option.

My first city is a complete mess but i'm going try to keep it functional as long as I can. Only 19k people and they are already complaining about garbage and dead people in their homes.
It's really difficult to build functional road network, bottlenecks everywhere..

Take a look at this bad boy.
Screw your roundabouts.

I need to start using the space better though.

It seems like one way streets for residents in this game absolutely destroys path finding of EMTs. Every section I have tried to have a well though out network of one way streets, corpses have been piling up like crazy. Seems like ambulances and hearses come from the other side of town regardless of how close a clinic or crematorium is if a house is located on a one way street. Guess I'll just avoid those streets for now.
Other than that, I really love this game. Most addicting game I have played in ages. I am already 17 hours deep, and have to force myself to go quit now so I can get some sleep. Managing traffic is actually fun in this game. Haven't had that same feeling since Transport Tycoon.

Looking at your first pick: how is your traffic?
Looks like you only connect one side of the highway on each interchange, I don't realy see how that can work out... ?
Considering the way the agents find a path is to just calculate and go, yes, that's one limitation. It'd probably take a bunch of CPU power away to have agents recalculate mid-commute to pick a suboptimal route that might not be clogged with traffic. The only weird pathfinding thing I think I've noticed is when at intersections certain lanes become turn-only lanes, so despite the fact the road ahead doesn't change (doesn't merge away into another, etc.) it bothers me that there are lanes being unused at certain times because for pathfinding purposes I think they are devoted to being turning lanes only, which is not the case in real life.

FIX YOUR PERMISSIONS!
Seriously. Unity has always fucked up for me on OS X for a long time and I never knew why until I Googled one of the console messages.
Fixing my permissions made it work. I was shocked. Try it! (Open Disk Utility in Utilities and fix the permissions for your main disk.)

There's only one or two areas I'm concerned with and they're streets within the cities, because everyone likes to bustle through one part. I add more exits if there's traffic on highways.

Yes, I'm hoping that they can add some randomization to lane selection during the initial path-finding.

Any talk on VR support of any fashion? When I get my HTC and a PC for it this fall I'd love to observe my citizens from above.

Is there a way to merge two one way streets into one 4 lane street?
Rentahamster
Rodent Whores
yes, just connect them together. Unless the 4lane isn't a one way too,
Actually, I fixed it by forcing a Steam Update. I guess Steam doesn't auto update

Anyone else experience this? some of my Farm buildings are invisible, they work fine, vehicles go in and out and I can click on them, but I can't see them and the Yellow zoning stays.
I've tried demolishing them but they're just replaced with another Invisible building.
Only affecting Agriculture industry, every other building is fine.

I meant like two highway offramps (going opposite directions) into one normal 4 lane road. Traffic both ways. I feel like I could get some cleaner interchanges that way.

huh, never thought of that. Crappy looking cornfields if that's the case, just industry Yellow paint on green grass.

This game is great!
Question: Anti-aliasing barely works in-game, what does everyone use for these jaggies?
Also, does chirpy ever become useful in the game? For every useful tweet there's the 10,000th repeat about "omg my vaycay was extended someone water plants xoxoxo". I've already disabled it but I'd like to know if there's any point I should turn it on.
