Project Orion - 3k Extended Boundary 1.0 Beta

Simply copy and paste the package!? COPY WHERE? Fucking retarded install instructions.

 

Where you have all your other mods moron!

\SimCity\SimCityData

Is it possible to place the cities next to eachother in this like in SC4 now? And is terraforming possible?

4. The original map of land value, pollutions, water etc will be misaligned (visually). Example, you plop a $$ park, the land value indicates is slightly off set from the park itself. This offset issues does not effect residential or commercial buildings. Same goes to air pollutions, you may get your industrial pollutions few meters away from its original buildings, it does not effect residential even if its visualized so on pollutions map. What concerns me the most is ground pollutions, similar to air pollutions, it darkened the soil off set from its original buildings, Use Ground Scrubber to tackle this issues.

 

 

AAAAAAh most of this is bullshit, ITS NOT JUST VISUALLY! change the description got damn! yes I'm angry for now for 3 reasons,

 

1. You do not respond to our/my feedback.

2. You keep updating your other mods but nothing is happening here! if your not gonna update or you cant don't put it out there when its this bad.

3. I take what you write seriously. If you say its visually only I will believe you and doubt myself to a point. But when I again and again have to drops my citys due to pollutions is all over the place physically!!! I get freaking mad!

Nope, not possible...

Hey Blackkatt, just a reminder that the modders are all volunteer users who are doing their best to create content for the rest of us. They do this in their spare time, so yelling at them or getting angry is pretty harsh considering they are work long hours for us for nothing.  If you think there is a problem, why not report it politely with some images, tests etc to show why you think it's not working - just like you would with an IT problem or software bug.  

I've done that already. Volunteer or not they do it because they think its fun so you can't see it as a sacrifice! It's a hobby like any else...

 

I just plum can't get this to work. I've got everything in the right place, follow the steps described exactly... and no change. Nothing. I am running on Linux with Wine but that shouldn't make a difference? 

I've uninstalled and reinstalled, cleaned out the folder. Nothing?

Anybody got any ideas?

 

 

I'm sure you've done it already... but just to be sure - did you claim a new plot, exit right out of SC (not just to the main menu) then relaunch and go back in to that plot?  That's when you should see the larger boundary lines.  Good luck with it!

 

Wow, after reading like 20 pages trying to make this work, you solved my issue! Should clarify on the front page that you need to exit ALL the way out of game, and not just to the menu. Thanks!

hi I am new in that web. I would like that someone could explain me how to install that mod, I did just copy paste the file, did all instructions but only the boarders are expanded. I can't build far away from the standard map. Thank you

8. Yes you can zone residential, commercial, industrial outside, in one condition, you need connect the tile's original roads with the regional roads and use CTRL+Zone

9. Can only plop on North and East outside 2k - Use your right click button or middle mouse button on the mouse to find out the direction.

Hi guys! First, I want to say I am very happy to see so many talented people that are trying to make the game better for us all;) now,i have a question ¿ do i have to all that thing of re-start the game every time i want to start a new city in the same region, or it only a thing that i must do the first time ,that i create the region?

Thanks and sorry for the bad level of english.

I've done that already. Volunteer or not they do it because they think its fun so you can't see it as a sacrifice! It's a hobby like any else...

Still, yelling at them isn't going to accomplish anything.  They still do it for free, and they do it for fun, not because they owe you anything.

Personally I'm very happy that anyone is trying to attempt to make bigger maps at all.  

This mod just got mentioned on IGN!

http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/08/27/bigger-simcity-maps-created-by-modders

What EA&Maxis said before? They cannot extend map isn't it? 

I'm giving up.  I've gone through this entire comment section so many times now.  This just isn't worth it.

I've installed Udon.  I've installed Orion3.  I've installed Akar.  I know these are installed correctly.  I've made new plots, new regions.  Orion works, the road menu just will not populate with anything.  

 

Someone had the same issue and it didn't look like they had it resolved either.  The author should definitely add that there are mods that need to be installed before installing this one.  Considering that this mod was just featured on IGN, you're going to have more frustrated people downloading this and running into the same issues.  You might want to update this.

I'll check back next year to see how much progress there is.

I cant seem to get this too work. :-(

Hello, I was just checking to see if there has been any progress with this mod? I downloaded and installed the mod back when it first came out and while it definitely worked there were a lot of wonky issues, pretty much all the things described under the overview. I was wanting to check in and see if there have been any breakthroughs in correcting some of those oddities? things like the distorted land maps (land value, water tables, etc) can be really problematic. Also only being able to build out on certain sides is kind of odd as well. Anyways, great mod all in all, but as it stands I don't feel the urge to use it for actual building.

It would be great if EA would suck it up and admit this is clearly possible (since their last public statement said it was not), and let one of their developers spend a few weeks working on a patch to get around this issue.  For my part I would forgive them for misleading us if they would just help out here...

I installed the mod and it`s great. But since i installed it, it's not possible to get ressources. You see a Oil field on the map but it you plant a oil refenery on it, it says that there isn`t any oil.
 

Do you have a solution for this?

@zeroz_92 if you read carefully,and watch the videos presented in the description, youll see that some things are displaced whene you use proyect orion, resourses are one of them, so actually you need to move your resourse digging to the place it was shifted. watch the video, youll get a better idea of what im talking about.

So, are the things like value only visually changed, or does value also actually have  an impact on the wrong place? I mean, if a park has a postive effect on the city, but it is visually on the wrong place, will it effect that wrong place, or just like normal the land around it?

@darkshadenl, yes, the actual place of the beneffit is displaced, i do think the video dows show how a park is seen in certain place but the land value increases in the displaced area. this is an issue i do belive the modders are adresing, for what i can read and hear, hope they do it fast because increasing city scale is clearly a great addition to this game. having to think in displacement kinda takes out part of the fun of the game and makes it a bit more complicated to plan.

Forgive my ignorance, but with the 4:1 condition, does this mean there are 4 times the resources available? i.e.; looking at image#4 in the mod description, the ore map seems to serve a much larger surface area when scaled to fit the 3K boundary. Or perhaps I'm just crazy? :D

Somehow I understand his ranting, out of frustration... When I first tried Orion I was convinced that the offset was mearly visual. My first experience with 3K was on a existing city - population drops, highwealth buildings developing where only medium parks were built, poluttion once restricted to a controled zone deviating into residential zones (and making people sick). So it was clear that the "visual offset" was more than that.

 

After that I uninstalled Orion because what I saw was a complete game breaker... I mean, it is impossible to plan if your land value and poluttion data just randomly deviates. Still I kept reading along many many post that the offset was only visual and no consequent effect from that would be observed... I considered maybe I should try it on a new region - so I did, yesterday. City is still to small do prove who´s right :P

 

Anyway, of course respect and consideration are to be given to modders, and I´m sure Blackkat knows that :)

 

We are just to anxious to have the best experience out of 3K.

 

My feedback regarding Orion+Akar+Avalon - Orion seems to have a huge impact on my PC performance (wich is a capable machine: Intel 4770k; 16GB ram, crossfire 7970 ghz+R9280X, running@5760*1080). When I first tried Orion I didn´t have this issue, but yesterday my graphics ocasionally stuttered and fans were all hyped out :P removed akar+avalon but stutter is still there :S

 

I´m pretty sure it´s due to Orion. Still I want to try and replicate my first experience with 3K, without AKAR+Avalon, but with BoC and AllRCI plop. I´ll remove the scriptfiles in the userdata/packages folder as well considering this folder was empty before...

Nothing like a good "laborotry" observation. I removed Orion as well, installed BoC again just to run my old cities to see if the stutters persisted... and they did not. Installed Orion+AKAR+Avalon back and chose another region Viridian Woods (wich I had played in before) - 16 cities; 4 GW´s. The same size has the previous region were I had those drops, but this time the game is running like butter and PC is quiet.

 

So, Orion+Akar+Avalon had nothing to do with performance drop... :)
