Mr. Lowe's Simcity 2013 Mods 1.4

 

 

 

i think this mod conflicts with simcity revision mod (http://community.sim.../#commentsStart) -- it makes it unable to delete modules and the modded buildings. after remove either one its able to do so again.

I am using that mod concurrently. with mine. If you copy his file (which is a directly modified version of the patch 10 file)  into the userdata packages folder along with mine, you should get his changes to the base game, then mine should apply (where/if they change the same areas) on top of it.

 

thanks. copy his file from ecofolder into userdata packages folder, and DELETE his one in the ecofolder or keep it there?

 

Instead of replacing the ecofolder one with his, keep original one there and copy his to the packages folder along with my files and it should cooperate.

 

thankyou! :) thankyou!

i have a question, if i change the value of 

0x0C131CC4  - kPropAirPollutionTransmitter_Amount and put negative values (eg, -1500)

do you think it will be able to help reduce surrounding air pollution in the area? in other words, do you know how the megatowers air scrubbers work? can we modify and use this garbage atomizer as a kind of pollution removal device? plop it around at different areas in the area, like parks?

 

 

Good work. Can you increase recycling center and incinerator rate, their capacity, decrease controlnet of water cleaner and increase it's "clean rate" (i don't know the name because i don't have the english version :) )

Sorry for english.

Thank you

You should see burn rate for incinerator increased to 2.5 tons/hr in version 0.4. Not 100% sure it is behaving, it would be great if you could verify for me. =-)

 

Not sure which building you are referring to on the water cleaner. Do you mean the Sewage Sanatizer?

 

I will look into both when I get chance.

 

Thank you for good work.  If you are interested, i confirm you some values:

version 0.6d

I destroyed and rebuild all buildings considered

Garbage atomizer

Garbage Atomizer 10% Controlnet Cost, reduced price -> OK ( increased burn rate to 4tons -> NO)

Recycling Center

Recycling: Increased capacity all around. Removed automatic plastic arm from coming with initial building -> ok

(Attempted rate increase - not sure it is working -> y/n, i calculate a 1.0 tons/h burn rate for each automatic arm)

Filtration pump

Changed filtration pump to process 50% faster than standard -> ok  (there is a little problem in the description, appears 80 kL/h instead 120 kL/h)

 

Yes, i mean Sewage Sanatize (thank you for assist).

Sewage Sanatize

20 "tanks" plopable.  Less Controlnet per tank -> ok (controlnet was a nightmare :) )

Can you increase Sewage Sanatizer process rate from 26.2 to 52 or 53 kL/h?

 

Thank you in advance

 

Rate increased per your request v0.6E

It is an honor :D   . I tested it and works. I have two further requests: can you, if it's possible, readjust the atomizer burn rate (there is an increment of garbage with omega products)?  The second request is: the map of city is too small, can you increase it's size? :D :D :D   (it's a joke, i know that my request is impossible to do without Maxis support )

I do not know how to thank you for your excellent work.

Most data values seem to be "unsigned" and not allow values to be negative.  It my be possible to copy the property from the airscruuber to another building though.

Glad I could help \0/

 

 

Unfortunately I have not had much luck with burn rate adjustments. they appear to only be affected the displayed value.  I have however increased the number of burners you can plop to eight, effectively allowing higher overall burn rate. Please see pic of how to get 8. You have to do four per side.

you should include install instructions in the mod description. i see that folks are having trouble making it work correctly and that makes me not wanna download this

I had instructions there, but I guess they could have been more clear. Updated, and posted a screenshot of the installation folder.

first of all , everything is work great for me.....    Any chance to increase number of landmarks? for me 8-10 is a good number....

Man your kicking butt here. And thank you for the Community Collage upgrade, I was like... mmm I wonder if we can get more from it.

are you planning on tweaking megatower population behavior? (doesnt matter how, just seems slightly broken compared to the rest of the population)

In Scrubber Crown i receive a "bad description" as if i had not put file SimCity-Scripts_287520926 in Origin\SimCity\SimCityUserData\Packages, but the file is in the right folder (Packages) and other yours changes work properly.  I test it with original SimCity-Scripts_287520926 and Simcity Revision SimCity-Scripts_287520926, but the problem persists.

Not working for me :( (I have the patch copied)  

Anyway you could make a video, showing how you mod something like the watertower? If I compared them correctly yours has 27 properties, while the one I find in my Simcity_game.Package has 38.  I was wondering what I was doing wrong or not understanding about the two.

 

Loving the continued updates btw.

I may look into that this weekend.

I'll take a look and test again on my end. May have been a damaged file in the archive.

Most likely you are seeing more properties than me because you were looking at the base file. I exported from the version in the patch 10 file. It probably doesn't include everything, especially not the texture info.

Copying SimCityDLCEP1-Scripts_287520926 (the latest patch for CoT) over to the packages folder from the ecogame folder seems to have been necessary. I had it in mine when testing. Took it out and got the same "happy" error you reported. Sorry for the issues. Thanks for catching it.

Not working for me :( (I have the patch copied)  

Sometimes you will not see mod effects until you close out the city to the main menu and reload it, or even more rarely, exit the game and re-enter.  This seems to be an issues with the game not always loading files from the packages location.

That is something I have been looking into. No luck so far. =-(

Great work with this mod. I love how fast you fix or add things to this mod. Keep it up.

Problem solved, it works, thank you.  

I would have other requests if I still have a desires available :)  : can you increase sewage treatment plant process to 80-90 kL/h? (increase maintenace cost to balance, otherwise it becomes too easy). There is a possible to increase public transport use? (maglev, bus, ecc.)   There is a way to improve megatower floor garbage (to reduce dirty water and waste)?

Thank you in advance

Yeah yeah, these really need to get modded.

Sewage changed per request in 1.0.1

Unable to locate much of the MegaTower level information so far. Maybe this weekend when I have more time to search

Something is screwy with importing resources.

 

After I install the Ore and Coal packages (v1.0), I decided to start smelting alloy. Plopped 2 separate fully upgraded depots for importing Ore and Coal, and another fully upgraded depot for exporting Alloy. This is the best method to obtain a proper supply flow between exporting and importing resources.

 

One minute I'll be up to about 117 Coal (or Ore, it doesn't really matter the amount or resource) the next I'm down to 0. Then the the next minute I'll be at 96. So far I've only seen it happen with Ore and Coal. I didn't notice Oil having an issue, but I also had Oil specialized placed before these mods.

 

Exporting is not an issue, they are good at exporting, but I do get irregular resource numbers. Like right now I'm at 8 alloy sitting in the trade depot.

Exporting is not an issue, they are good at exporting, but I do get irregular resource numbers. Like right now I'm at 8 alloy sitting in the trade depot.

Just for more information so I can better look into this. Only using (small)  depots to import, with no mines? And how many smelter stations with how many modules?

 

I think the reason for irregular numbers is from trucks triggering to load resources when there are 10, but truck picking up whatever amount may be there, up to the 100 it will hold., so if there were 19 in storage, they would all get picked up.  Also similar for dropoffs, a truck carrying 100 will try to deliver, but may not have room for all 100, so will leave with a partial load back to the depot. 

 

For example: truck A and B leave your coal depot. Truck A leaves with 100, B with the remaining 17. truck A drops off at smelter, but there is only room for 30, so it heads back with 70. Truck B drops off and smelter has used up 1 coal, so it can drop off 1, and heads back to depot with 16. one new global trucks have reached depot with 10. 70 plus 1 plus 10 = 96.  

 

Alloy going out is similar.  

 

Smelter gets 10 produced and a pickup is triggered. Empty truck leaves depot to go get the alloy. By the time it reaches there, 2 more have been made. It picks up all 12 and  drops off at depot.  4 more trips like this happen, totaling 48 alloy picked up from smelter and taken to depot. During this time Sales truck pick up 10 at a time, leaving 2 at depot. then next trip, 12 have been added, making 14 now there. another sales truck grabs 10, leaving 4. two more trucks drop off 12, making 28. Two sales trucks grab 10 each, leaving 8 now left at alloy depot

 

 

 

I will test some more tonight and see if it is behaving how I think it is, or not.
