featured_spectre Posted April 5, 2015 Author Posted April 5, 2015 [ATTACH=CONFIG]30066[/ATTACH] Something familiar about that landscape ... Can't imagine it's great for highways...
Sunnyknight Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 Finally had a chance to get back in to this with the long weekend, started afresh and going pretty well so far. Traffic wise a few highly used roads (mainly coming off the highways) but no real major jams or backlogs to speak of. Way way way too easy to lose hours in it though! [ATTACH=CONFIG]30061[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]30062[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]30063[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]30064[/ATTACH] I have to say... i never did understand how to place / use pathways and what the benefit is? Looks very nice in ypur pic though! I turned my back for 2 mins I had medical problems and lost around 1/2 population. I had loads of doctors and a few hospitals. Welcome to city skylines, where everyone chooses to die together. [ATTACH=CONFIG]30066[/ATTACH] Something familiar about that landscape ... Dont kill me... but.... I dont get it? Well i thought I would give it go to see what the hype is about..... goodbye life! Yeah. Kiss goodbye to everything... your soul included! Im stranded without my pc for a further day..... day count 3...... I HATE PAINTING!!!
jdoldridge Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 I downloaded this off steam on Friday morning to see what all the fuss was about. I've hardly come off it since! The only thing that's winding me up is the garbage and dead body collection issue, as many crematoriums, cemetery's and incinerators as I build, there still loads of buildings with dead people and rubbish!
pcstru Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 Dont kill me... but.... I dont get it? It is the Edugeek logo (yelllow PC thing in a circle) as a landscape.
jedmondson Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 Just got this game a few days ago - Runs badly on mydesktop as my graphics card is dead and awaiting a RTM. On my laptop - lenovo w510 it runs quite nicely. 5 hours played and still getting the hang of it.

You need to spread them out over the city, concentrating them in one place won't work. As soon as you can, start adding incinerators and crematoriums and periodically empty the collection sites into them. It has to be done manually.

CAM Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 Then you build them in an isolated area near your power plant or paint a district round the polluted area and issue the tax cut policy.

Sunnyknight Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 (edited) @featured_spectre How the hell do you create your own houses? I want to create a l5 4x4 from scratch... but i cant find a guide on how to do it.... i keep having to use stupid templates?? EDIT. Scratch that. Found out how. Edited April 7, 2015 by Sunnyknight
DavePa Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 Bought the deluxe version on Steam at the weekend but should have checked here 1st and saved some money. Oh well. Good fun although a few years since I played anything similar and I'm finding it odd not to have an 'objective' to aim for. I'm playing far too impatiently at the moment and either build far more than I can afford and go bust or switch on infinite cash and get bored. Only played a couple of hours so far but will definately be playing many more

So did you attempt it or throw up your hands in horror and hide?
Sunnyknight Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 So did you attempt it or throw up your hands in horror and hide? The second one. I thought freaka that lol
CAM Posted April 13, 2015 Posted April 13, 2015 Just got one monument to go! I had to plummet my city into a double recession with high tax, 70% unemployment and reduced land values due to turning off Hadron Collider to unlock buildings. Also did the following last night: - Try solve traffic backing up by the airport. - Fix roundabout with flyover, realise traffic now backs up to the junction from further down. - Analyse junction, work out most are going to the CBD. Extend motorway to CBD. - Realise nowhere for traffic to go. CBD crippled. Only solution...BULLDOZE THE CBD! At least the middle of it by running an elevated motorway straight through it. - Add horrible hacked together junctions, fix side streets, connect motorway to the spaghetti mess south of the CBD. - Traffic is fixed! Economy not so healthy...

newpersn Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 Next update coming soon Cities: Skylines' next update "the most substantial to date" http:// http://www.pcgamer.com/cities-skylines-next-update-the-most-substantial-to-date/
Joanne Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 I had a play last night for half an hour... I need to save some serious cash and do some re-designing! - - - Updated - - - here we go Cities: Skylines developer Colossal Order has detailed the next patch for their enjoyable and immensely popular city builder. The update, they say, will be "the most substantial to date", and will introduce new features, tweaks, improvements and "more fun stuff". As with all local city planning, though, it'll take some time before its open to the public. "As the update is a lot bigger than what we've previously released it's also going to be in development and QA for a longer time," writes the Colossal Order team, "meaning there's going to be at least a month before it's ready to be launched." What is known is that the update will allow players to create tunnels, and introduce support for wall-to-wall buildings. What features would you like to see added to Cities: Skylines? 1
abillybob Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 I had a play last night for half an hour... I need to save some serious cash and do some re-designing! - - - Updated - - - here we go Ooooo! Tunnels Been waiting for this for ages! I wanted to make a city where all light traffics runs on top and create an underground road network where all heavy traffic goes. I'm hoping this can be done using zoning
