Navy Piers?

[kayelbe 0]

I've downloaded the CDK Industrial and PEG Pier sets.

I wanna make a purely eyecandy type Naval Base similar to ones in many CJ's.  I know there are a couple of functional Navy Pier sets out there, but I want to create a base with piers that extend out into the water.

How do you guys (I'm sure you know who you are) make the seamless pier-to-land (ie CDK) connections?

Thanks

Its a matter of land level (if I understand you correctly).. The land has to be at 0.5 meters as I recall .. I'm sure I'll be corrected if this is not accurate. One of the "teams" has a "developement lot" that will level the land for you.. you just plop it if you're uncomfortable with terraforming. I think its on blackhearts web, but I dont' follow that stuff... Also SC4 Terraformer (link on lower home page for ST) will allow you to load and terraform "harbors" to your heart's content with great accuracy.. as well as a lot of other fun terraforming-type things.. Good luck

That was the answer I was hoping I wouldn't get.  I've also got the leveler tools by PEG.

The pier set has a land end, but it has stairs--almost like it was made because you can't make a good connection.

Below is a pic of what I get if I try to butt the pier up to the CDK piece.  NOw that I look at it, the pier surface is not what I've seen in the CJ's....which set should I be using then?

Well I'm stumped. Sorry. But it looks good. Remember to keep up the good fight and I'm sure you'll succeed.

The piers in this pic are what I am trying to do.  The image is from SEPSIS, in another thread.

The piers in the lower portion, where the ships are "nested"....what did s/he use there?

All those Navy piers are from PEG's set family. The one's at the bottom that have piers perpendicular to the shore are from Set 3. He has released 4 sets.

As Dmrsunz said those are Peg's piers, what Dmrsunz failed to mention is that they are rewards. Once you d/l them and install them in your plugins folder (they come with an installer for PCs) you have to plop so many CDK and have so much population (sorry, don't recall the requirements right now) or you have to use one of the reward cheats.

The info on the reward in the menu bar lists the required criteria, I think it's population / seaport capacity (not necessarily CDK) and % of sea in the city...they increment up for Pier 1, 2, 3 and Sub base

Most of Peg's Navy Lots work better in Medium or Large seeing how much Water is needed to Earn them or you can always "Don't Deserve It".

Thanks!!!

I downloaded the CDKN sets, but never looked at 'em. I knew they were rewards, but figured they worked like regular rewards (ie just one use) That's what I get for assuming.

Thanks again.

there are also other "ship" lots you can add to flavor it up to. Fosterks USS Devin, NDEX USS Foster Anchored, NDEX NSS Equinox Anchored, BSS Vlakhaas to name a few.
