I was having that issue at first as well, but then determined it had more to do with user error. Make note of your one-ways, and make sure you put the cursor (dot) on the right side of the road. Once I started doing that I can place bus stops blocks away - sometimes farther - from each other, right where I want them.

Congrats to the CO crew well deserved.
Struggled to hit 60k, but realized I'd been spending too much time tweaking traffic

My infrastructure is disgusting. It's only my first city so I'm not too worried at the moment. My next one will probably be better.

Is it just me and my sixth sense, or why my city keeps filling up with dead? I have cemetary usage at 10% and bodyburning on green.. And still everywhere dead bodies..
Also I'm starting to feel that the scales for Good-Green and Bad-Red are way too broad.. If you ever get to red in anything you are way waaaay waaaay too late to turn things around.
The lack of detail between green-ok yellow screwed, added with the lack of details in budget screen.. Makes micro-managing your budget for services really hard..

That's over 1000 copies sold per hour. Hot damn, well deserved indeed, game is fucking awesome and they launched it without any (serious) bugs as well.
I found some patches of oil in my land. How should I go about getting those resources?
Edit: I have tons of money (over 2million now) and see the oil can get me some pollution. I'm trying to keep my city as clean as possible. If I want to get other resources like using the Forest Industry, how should I set this up?
Just paint the district and then put some industrial areas?

Well, a certain level of dead bodies is perfectly normal. Are your buildings going abandoned because of it? If so, might be a pathfinding issue for the hearses.

Abandoned...This was exactly what I was afraid. My city center is a nightmare of traffic atm.. *sigh* there are a lot people who will have to move and lose their homes due to some road work, unless I come up with some wizardry.. It's tough job, but someone's gotta do it..
That's over 10,416 copies per hour!
About 174 copies per minute.
almost 3 copies per second

Hey, my statement wasn't wrong! ;p (I missed a 0)

Paint a district and in that tool window you can specific what industry type you want to use that area.
So many people confused about that I hope they just make it so that the industry types end up being district brushes of their own so you can just fill the industry in rather than having to do it in two steps.

I just saw this on reddit and thought a lot of people in this thread might be interested as I've seen quite a few people mention RCI just flatlining.

I have a Core 2 Quad Q9500 @ 2.5 Ghz, a GTX 650 Ti, and 8 GB of DDR2 RAM. As mentioned above, I run the game at 1080p on medium settings, and get about 30 frames per second. When I have a large city, and I zoom or pan around quickly, the frame rate drops for a bit into the 20s, but for a game like this, it's not a big deal.
Grammar schwammar!
I'm not a native speaker, good sir, please be gentle. It's okay though, I forgive you. Louise is an amazing character after all.

At 74k I just cannot get my city to grow by more than a few dozen at the moment. There is no demand for new developments et al, everyone seems very happy. Not sure what I can do to spur some growth.

My one traffic complaint is how the game handles right on red. I have some roads where one ways have an intersection that is two way, and when the two way is offloading into the one way traffic stops on the right lane of the one way because the roads are divided into "straight or right".
Wish their was a way to manually set "right only" on parts of a road.

This may help as a start, reposting from earlier in the thread:

Here's a post someone made asking for help on how to unjam his traffic issue, with before and after gifs:
https://www.reddit.com/r/CitiesSkyl...only_middle_lane_of_six_lane_street_used_bug/
The road layout in this screenshot shows what caused the problem.
The cars only choose the "turn left" or "turn right" lane, when they plan to make another left or right turn at the very next(!) junction. As you can see, the blue lane is only used, if the car plans to turn left at the very next junction. All other cars choose the middle lane (turn left and turn right) to avoid getting in the turn left or right lane in the next street. This is a game design issue in my opinion. To solve the problem, I changed all one-way roads to normal two-way roads, to make them accessible from both sides.

There's something weird going on in my city. I have a relatively small industrial zone but most of the businesses there complain about needing workers. Office zones are in very high demand, though, as they are almost immediately filled after I zone them.
Is this because of education? I am tempted to just delete all industrial zone to see if the city is affected in any way.

I hope they make a ton of money off of it. I'd gladly pay another $20-30 for a season pass to the DLC.

I really like the High Tech Housing. Immediately after implementing that in a district I hear a cascade of upgrading "dings". Delicious.

Your profits will plummet. They'll always bitch about workers. Just let them. Basically the only way to completely make them happy, is to create a ghetto right next to it, and keep them completely uneducated. Lol
I think it's a lack of uneducated workers.
This happened to me too when I built the first school on my city.

Click on the companies that complain about needing workers and look at how many jobs they offer for every level of education, then compare with the global level of education of your city.
If most are too qualified for these jobs, they won't go there and will prefer offices.
Or you can try to do some uneducated neighbourhoods (no easy access to schools) for the industries.
Commercial zones seem to require educated workers more often than industrial starting up. I think it marks it with a little blue worker and it specifically states "Need educated worker."
Least that's what I saw when my residential growth outpaced how many people the schools I placed could serve. Uneducated workers are little brown suit guys.

I mostly use them for roundabouts.

Better control over traffic patterns and flow. EX: It allows you to have traffic send off a main road that's filling up with no way to merge back on at that same spot (causing a busy intersection).

If you lay them out properly funnel traffic more efficiently by eliminating traffic slowing behavior that can arise with traditional roads.

So it's probably the city's education level. All of my residential areas have easy access to a couple of primary and high schools as well as to the university.
I'll probably just eliminate the industrial zones since they're only about 5% of my income (and I'm swimming in money anyway
).Man I wish there was some "Super" mode you could enable so you could terraform without going into the level editor, sometimes I just wanna build some nice hills and shit, some rich snob quarters with expensive villas up on a hill, or make a hill for a nice landmark.
Basically hills are great. Hills for everyone!

Update: I read on the reddit for skylines that it could possibly be a massive number of old people dying. Massive increases in population eventually leads to all those people dying.
I'll get back in the city tonight and see if the rate of citizen loss wanes.

I had some complaining about "not enough buyers" when I had a high residential demand.

Could be a traffic issue with the delivery trucks not being able to get to the commercial zones, maybe?

How busy are the roads between commercials and industrials ? They rely mostly on industries delivery to sell products, they can import too, so take a look at regional connections and city entrances.

Yeah, if I could ask for one feature right now it would be terraforming in an existing city. The tools in the map creator are so awesome, I wish they were available (even if it broke achievements) in game.
That's honestly my only real complaint about the game right now. And it's not even really that big of a complaint...

I have a strange bug. When attempting to connect to an existing highway I still get that connection icon and cars disappear, never entering the city. I actually had power plants not get supplies and they stopped working. I have tried deleting the highway and it just pushed the icon further and made more bugged area.
Highways are one way streets. You need to draw it in the right direction. At least that was my problem yesterday.
Some shots of my city as it is right now, nearing 50k population!
Got some crazy office towns!
I'm even starting to get some smaller towns here and there. Next city I build, I will actually try to make it just a bunch of smaller towns connected with roads, all inside lush forests or something.
Freedom Island!
My city is evolving nicely!
