Crystal Junction

I really don't want to be a pain in the ass, but...

 

I wasn't talking about volume (do you seriously think I'd do the math for that?).  You say that the MASS of the planet is .897 x Earth.  Which means, it doesn't matter how dense it is.  The mass is the same anyway.

 

Sorry....

Thanks for all the compliments everyone.

ACE: I am not trying to argue with you. This will also be the last post about the planet stats for sake of relivence to the journal, since it was only meant as a side topic to keep things interesting in light of infrequent updates. I spent nearly a day researching physics equations for creating a model for the Frontier Point system. When i was talking about density, I wasn't saying it meant it had greater mass. I was meaning it had more mass packed into the same area, which is the defintion of density, was not meaning that the .897 was of greater mass then earth.. If you want i can provide a copy of the physics equations I performed for calculating surface gravity, planet mass, orbital period arround a more massive star at a specific distance, and so forth. I tested the equations on known planets in the solar system, and they all hit right on the dot with the calculations.

 

Good News for Those Whom Want a Copy of The Region.

 

All other users. I will be with flamesrock assitance providing a copy of the Crystal Junction Region to his site for others to download. The copy is completely unmodifed, it has the entire Crystal Junction Region in it's orgionality. It is reocmmended that you get the desert mod, and PEGs limestone rock mod, to make the regional compatable, and appear the same as i use it. I will remind you it's a very large region, measuring 8 x 4 large maps in size so it offers plenty of area of building. Hope you enjoy.

The planets density is 1.28 compared to earth's 5.5.

Does this mean that there is less lag??

 

Congrats on hitting 3/4 of a million!

City Update 23.1:

Future Plans for Expansion.

Well it now looks like it is back to the tedious phase of urban sprawl once again. I've already worked with some extensive development in downtown, as you can see from the previous pics. Needless to say the 103,000 commercial jobs are providing a signifficant demand for lower and medium wealth residential zones. I have below a few pics of how I plan on future expansion in the city.

 

Most of the expansion will be in the north and west, arround Crystal Junction's northern limits, and arround Sandy Ridge. I plan on getting Sandy Ridge up to 55,000 soon. There will also be some expansion in the southeast arround the Topaz Canyon and Skarran Lake areas.

 

Here are some pics showing my plans for expansion.

Northern Expansion Arround Sandy Ridge And North Crystal Junction

Expansion arround the Joplin, and West Crystal Junction Areas.

Expansion in the southeast arround Topaz Canyon.

Current Metro Area Population 775,000.

You have a great looking CJ. Yours would have to be one of my favorites.

[ChicAgo333 2]

i dont care how long it takes to download that region, im getting it no matter what

 

awesome job

[crazyarchitect 7]

wow more expansion, cool, can't wait to see more of what's going on

[A Killer Ewok 2]

Frozen in state to see what will happen...

[Superchan 23]

When is the region going to be downloadable(if it will be), and when is the next update.

[crazyarchitect 7]

I guess when RLS gets finished with him

Crystal junction is one the best cities i have seen on simtropolis.

[subedei 3]

A very nice update. I like how the sprawl really contrasts with the Terrain. Keep up the good work.

hey nice update!

but what is the name of that town that is east of topaz and north of the future Sable Valley??

[whiteshark365 563]

Hey everyone,

 

Just wanted to post something to let all the viewers of this journal that i am still here. I know it's been a while since i posted any, but have been real busy with work lately.

 

Anyway, I havn't gotten arround to uploading the region yet, need to confer with flamesrock for that still. I'll also try and post an update sometime this week. I regret to say no work has been done on this region since my last update.

 

The town between topaz canyon and future sable vallley allong freeway 11 is Topaz Heights.

[The Big Z 103]

This CJ is so awesome!  I love the terrain, and your city layout is sweet.  Its cool to see how many different things you have in your cities.  Keep up the wonderful work!

[simcityperron 2]

you and a couple more CJ'ers are my favorite city-builders in simtropolis.  I almost never post but I figure since I visit your CJ so must I should let you know this CJ is one of my favorites!! keep up the great work! 

 

You have a large and well organized sprawl, somewhat similar to my CJ.  I'm really liking this!

[crazyarchitect 7]

I'm glad you're still here, love your city as usual, can't wait for more

Any updates coming soon?

[GingerBlokey 30]

I like the expansion maps. As any1 that knows me will know I LOVE maps.

[dudyconstructor 40]

woah!! nice job dude!! looks so great! and nice region terraforming! its awesome!

[colbysohl 0]

Wow!!!!!! That the biggest city i ever saw!!![:0][:0][:0][:0]

[Threehundred 0]

Your city looks quite nice. Only complaint is the highly dull names for cities and roads. Crystal Junction? 1st Road? *Yawn*

Use something a bit more eye-catching. Like..say..Lower Geode Canyon. And mabye Del Sol Ave. Name some of your building after minerals..such as Diamond Plaza. Or (depending on how many stories your building has) 36 Prizm Tower. Something along those lines.

Cool nonetheless. Love the newspaper theme to this journal.

I'm back, I lost my password and didn't log on for months, but now i'm back, and Crystal junction is looking really good.

[Rhothaerill 0]

I just finished reading through this entire journal. Wow. I must say...great city and great presentation style.

Whiteshark, if you come back, I hope you don't mind if I use your newspaper idea.

[steveg 0]

Oh I hope Whiteshark comes back soon. I'm missing this journal!

[whiteshark365 563]

UPDATE TO BE POSTED SOON!!!!!

 

I know everyone has wondered what happened to me. Well basically, I have been real busy lately, and now I have some time to begin working on this journal again.

[K3ITH 0]

I can't wait whiteshark, it's been too long!

[ChicAgo333 2]

He's back!!! I thought you were gone for good! cant wait for the update!

 

yaaay!

[Boggy1 45]

Oh wow. This is a stunning CJ, I can't wait for more updates.

 

P.S. Where can I get the desert mod??? Teirusu is down for some reason
