Sunnyknight Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 So.... after a bit of tinkering... And then traffic is surprisingly different! Right, so now, what the hell is this need for 'services'? Industry keep wanting it, so i've had to create a district with ore as priority? Halp. I may expand, but i DO need help doing it. @CAM @featured_spectre HALP
featured_spectre Posted March 27, 2015 Author Posted March 27, 2015 Services for industry Fire - and lots of it. For every 16 squares on the game, you'll need a fire station in your industrial park Police - one should be enough here Leisure - Statue of Industry is good for their Transport 1 - Cargo train near by is an absolute must with dedicated access. Transport 2 - Metro is a good idea for large scale transit of your cims too the city hub Transport 3 - Buses is a good idea for ferrying people from the fringes of your town to the industrial park and back Education - This is an odd one, because it says that it needs it, but in reality doesn't. Some mods address this (can't think which off the top of my head). Power - Solar, Advanced Wind Turbine or Fusion plant...job done Water - Try as hard as you can to replace sewage pipes with the treatment facility as your industry accounts for most sewage Garbage - Give them 1 garbage dump and 1 incinerator per industrial park. This should help your industry bulk up

This should help your industry bulk up Resolved by adding 2 fire stations, a police station, and.... the rest got sorted? :/ Also, why would i need treatment facilities? The sewage doesn't come back in, it' flows away from the city? I wanted to do a metro route, but i have no idea how to place it. Does it replace existing roads? Also, whats the best order? Res - Com - Industrial? or Res - Industrial - Com? ???? Buses take SO long to plan, and with this city, and it's million one way and two way and 6 way roads, how do i go about it? Leave them on the main road to walk to where ever?
featured_spectre Posted March 27, 2015 Author Posted March 27, 2015 You'd be surprised what the tide can do...if you have too much water intake you can reverse the flow of rivers. Plus the output can ruin the cruise boats that come in leaving them with no tourists. As for metro...they need to be next to a road. So plop one in industrial and one in residential and one in high density commercial. Then just plan routes from residential to commercial and residential to industry and commercial to industry. Never do all 3 in 1 route. Buses should be plopped outside the metro.
Sunnyknight Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 Hitting near 4 mil cash but only 35k pop.... Hardly 0% traffic issues (using buses (1 depo with 1 route, my place is impossible to route)), and no major garbage or health issues. I have no idea where to expand. I'm thinking south, any ideas? Bare in mind, in NONE of the simcity games, did i expand. I had a perfect city, and that was it. I've NEVER done it. It's anti Sunny. Halp. Also, appreciate all the help given up to now.
featured_spectre Posted March 27, 2015 Author Posted March 27, 2015 Buy a tile and expand...otherwise you may as well give up. I suggest where the lake to the right is. Also look at some mods which fix traffic and hardness etc. :-)
CAM Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 LOL in SimCity you didn't expand because you couldn't expand. This is my city, it's a mess though and a new industrial area has since opened up by the airport. Cities Skylines - Rockfield - Album on Imgur

Lol Nice city, it really is everywhere and anywhere ay it? Howd you route your train? Did you just say 'you go there' and worry about the rest after?
newpersn Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 Every time I built a damn. I flooded my town.....
Sunnyknight Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 (edited) Every time I built a damn. I flooded my town..... Lol.... did you check behind the dam to see if the land was level throughout? Ie... if where you build the dam, the land is significantly higher, as the water builds up to that land level, it'll flood everywhere behind to that level. Ive stopped with hydro dams, and now working towards nukes. @CAM @featured_spectre I EXPANDED!!! Its hard to plan everything though.... but im planning on having 1 tile for res 1 tile for com 1 tile for industrial. Good idea? EDIT: To show pics. Edited March 28, 2015 by Sunnyknight
newpersn Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 I hate using power lines every where. .. or am I being a little dumb?
Steve21 Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 I hate using power lines every where. .. or am I being a little dumb? It'll jump between roads/buildings, so as long as they're all close and connected you don't need them, only if far away connections etc Steve
Sunnyknight Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 (edited) After venturing out, i found out it's not too hazardous. Just need to route some public transport and i'm good. Here's the city so far. 0% industial. Walnut Square, Aspen Hills and Madison heights all Resi. Spring park is my main commercial. The other comm zones are around Aspen Hills and the last east line on Walnut Square. Everything else, office. Also, how the faluja would i route buses around my map?! Edited March 29, 2015 by Sunnyknight
featured_spectre Posted March 29, 2015 Author Posted March 29, 2015 Route them down 1 road and back...literally. And any that have metros...make the bus stop outside it.
featured_spectre Posted March 30, 2015 Author Posted March 30, 2015 I play at work...in the AM and Lunchtime.
MrMat Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 I managed to hit 100k population last night My city isn't the nicest looking City in the world (or the best planned out) but it seems to be doing the job! I'll grab a screenshot later.

featured_spectre Posted March 30, 2015 Author Posted March 30, 2015 Sunnyknight..it is all about traffic management. Reduce your traffic = better influx of people. I have taken to building paths...EVERYWHERE. If you build paths all over, nobody takes their cars. A handful of buses, metro and trains, and job done.
Quackers Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 Im guessing there is not, but is there anything that can be done to make pollution not look as bad?
Sunnyknight Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 Sunnyknight..it is all about traffic management. Reduce your traffic = better influx of people. I have taken to building paths...EVERYWHERE. If you build paths all over, nobody takes their cars. A handful of buses, metro and trains, and job done. Yeah but i bet your city isnt a total mess. I tried with the bus route thing, but it endes up missing all of the other roads in resi and office zones. Tried to drag other stops into there to compensate but the buses would end up looping twice or three times over dependant on the number of stops. Im guessing for ONE route id have to plan it from Resi - comm - office Or Resi - office && resi - comm Bloody el. My brain is fried with how id have to plan this route. I miss simcity and just plonking down bus stops. Lol Metro seems interesting, had a go last night but i end up losing a large chunk of buildings which isnt nice, bu meh.
featured_spectre Posted March 30, 2015 Author Posted March 30, 2015 Buses should go... Residential down 1 road and up the next....thats it. In 1 loop. Rinse and repeat for all roads. They should cover almost every road, as they will then reduce traffic substantially. Metro - should go from a main hub and some fringe services in residential to commercial, offices and industrial
MrMat Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 No one cares! Skiddaddle back out of here!! *quietly* But before you go, tell me how you did it *quietly* Ta da! My road networks arent the best and i do have a bit of congestion here and there but nothing too major. I've a load of buses, couple of train stations and a handful of metros to help ship people around the city though which did seem to help a little. I did notice that my population grew loads when i stopped trying to cram people in so tightly! Keeping a decent amount of green space and making a few suburban areas really helped. Also, ive you're making loads of cash but arent growing try dropping your taxes, this should help convince people to move in. Mine are set to 10% for normal areas and 11% for high density.

First is 3 roads in residental closed loop. 2nd one is from resi all the way around the city back to resi. Your explanations are confusing featured! lol
