Though floating zones that are buildable would be neat for a futuristic type of mod. Assuming what's built underneath isn't already too tall.

Yep.
I think modders ar emissing a step when exporting their creations. Because some of the mods do show proper icons. The ex Maxis guy's coal plant for example shows up correctly.

Here's my beast : 100k population and a massive mess(still my first city)
Is this yours:
Full 9 tiles. 400K pop'n
I hate when populations starts dying of old age I guess. Health is perfect, all services all perfect... Death rate spiking again. Die already old people
There is a mod that increases the cims lifespan from 6 in game years to 12 years. This helps to smooth out the death rate a bit.

Kind of scared to install this one. Seems like a major change, gonna let other guinea pig this first.

Oh man I was so done with this game but I'm going to make an entire city out of these.

Tunnels are supposedly coming in the first big patch.
Agreed on the larger farms and other plots though. It'd be cool to see big megamalls, large sprawling farms and expansive industrial complexes.

goddamn, I filled my land with train tracks, setup lines and connected it to the outside world : my whole fucking tracks are filled with trains, lol
Gonna have to build like 3 parallel lines for it to actually work :/
Cargo or passenger trains?
Because I have kept the passenger trains out of the "regional" network and haven't had real train jams yet.

is there a post somewhere with the rumored contents of upcoming patches?
Passenger, I think.

I thought this looked cool:

It's called Prins Clausplein stack interchange (highway 4 way) in the mod section.

My starting city isn't going anywhere in terms of traffic. I managed to clear most of the problems by replacing the big one way streets with small one way streets (just because getting rid of traffic lights makes everything much more fluid), but I still one major issue which I can't really solve because of the way I organized the one ways and the zones. I will have to start from scratch, but I feel much better now, knowing what I did wrong from the start. Until I discover the next big fuck-up in the next city.

So I built this little community across the river from my city connected by a single bridge.
I spent about an hour working on other main areas, building tree-lined streets, etc. I had forgotten about my little faraway neighborhood when I discovered that it had become an isolated cesspool of illness, crime and death.
I actually laughed out loud.

Going to add that one.

There isn't a whole lot of communication from the dev team at the moment. They're still hard at work adding more content and fixing bugs. I doubt such a small team could have foreseen the game being such a big hit so fast.
Here is the post in question from Totalymoo, who works for Paradox with CO and posts regularly to Reddit:

There's a mod that can adjust that.

There's a mod that turns off extreme traffic jam teleporting if you want to see how terrible it is without it.

It's neat seeing people playing on the same map that I am but building very different cities. For comparison this is how mine looks at 73K pop:

Hey guys, I'm really interested in picking up this game, but I'm not sure if my laptop can handle it.
I've got a Toshiba Satellite E55-A5114, here are the specs:
Processor: Intel i5-4200U Processor
Graphics: Mobile Intel HD Graphics
Memory: 6GB DDR3L 1600MHz
Hard Drive: 750 GB
If some of you with more PC knowledge than me could help me out, I'd greatly appreciate it.

They also lower noise since they work as barriers.

Can you? Needs to be updated constantly enough, and needs to be organized. Maybe we can make a google doc and have a few guys filter an official list

Lisbon, where I live, has a metro pop of 2.6 million. The tallest building is a twin pair that is 100m and there's a tower with 120m.
Here are both of them. I posted the pictures because I love both structures and find them unique and beautiful, specially the twin towers. They're a nod to our history and the form factor is right on the spot.
There's another twin tower couple at 90m. And an hotel at 90 as well. Everything else is below. This is common in European cities, even now that many capitals have some 250m skyscrapers.
My city in the game is this way as well. As soon as high res buildings upgraded and hit 10-13 stories I found the highrise ban option and put it in effect in the entire city.
This is an actual fucking nice option in the game. I thought it was a mistake making only low and high res zones, without a medium density zone like in Sim City and if I'm not mistaken (and boy have I played this game so much, my bad) Cities XL. But this option actually creates essentially medium zoning.
Love it.

Simple question.
Does the game lags with all that simulation or is just the same as the start of the game?
I keep hearing that only applies specifically to the tree'd up roads, actually. And that trees themselves, really do nothing other than look pretty.

I ran into the same issue, I think a lot of people died of natural causes at the same time causing a net decrease in pop over a long amount of time. Also ensure services are covering all residential zones, plop down some parks to increase land values, and lower residential tax rate.
you know you've played too much when you look at the full size of these screens and it seems like the warning icons are animating.
Yeah, that's what I thought as well.

Depends largely on which "Intel HD graphics" version you actually have.
I can tell you it probably won't look better than this:
running under 720p and less than 30 fps. So will it run? Probably. Will it be a good experience? That depends on your tolerance for pain.RandomExpletive said:
Sure. I may throw something up in an hour or 2. Want to go ahead and create that Google spreadsheet?

The guy running it aas at 60 FPS
Cant remember his PC specs but its from reddit
Also, the game only simulates 60K cims I think. And the rest is statistically represented, though someone else can explain that better

This game is pissing me off. I keep running out of power which is totally destroying my city. I've put power plants on a clear, non-traffic heavy road directly from the outside and yet I keep running out of fuel. I'm literally following cars coming into the city and making it to the power plant, but they can't get fuel. What the fuck? It's totally ruining my enjoyment. The game seems awesome but sometimes your shit breaks and there is no hint what so ever as to how to fix it. Just so frustrating.
And while I'm complaining, hearses and garbage trucks seem to be messed up as well. Landfills directly next to industrial zones complaining they have overflowing garbage.

Yeah, I initially just had one big railway shared by cargo and passenger trains and it was an absolute disaster of city-long train jams. Just spent an hour completely rethinking it and having a separate cargo and passenger line (though both connected to the lines in and out of the city) and everything is flowing perfectly now. I've made a mess though
