Simtropia

[jeronij 13]

Hello again dear Simtropia visitors,

I am glad to see that you like the cargo docks.

Jason, I made some custom BAT for the lots, but none of the cranes is mine .

All:  Thanks for the comments and feedback. I followed some of your good suggestions and this is the result

 

 

 

I am also glad and proud to annouce the arrival of the first Yamashimaro Class cargo vessels to the docks of Simtropia, after a pleasant way from Glen Harbour. Plamer Shipping Co. got a good contract, and since I use the Simoleon mod, money is not a problem !!!. I hope to see tons and tons of coal, salt, cacao and gravel come and go via those incredibly cool looking ships. Special (really special    ) thanks to MasterPlanMan for sending them to Simtropia   !!!

Leini, the coal texture (and all the rest too) are granulated. I

I usually never comment in this CJ because so many others already say what I want to say before I get a chance to say it, but this time I'll go ahead and add my two cents:

Those new shipping cargo lots you're using are very cool indeed. While I understand why you wouldn't release those custom BATS, wouldn't it be acceptable just to credit the maker of the cranes and link them as a dependency, rather than keeping the lots to yourself? You could release them and still properly attribute the crane-maker.

I'm really just jealous, to be honest, and wish I could use them in my own CJ.


Anyway, great updates as always, and congrats on the Trixie win!

I'll download them as soon as you release them... I'll use them in my next CJ!!

Well, thanks for giving the whole community an early Christmas gift... Can't wait for more gifts.

Looking good, Jeronij! Hopefully someday I will be good at making stunning cities like you! Keep up the good work!'); height=15 alt=Insert smilie src=https://community.simtropolis.com/assets/emoticons/19.gif width=15 border=0>

Great Harbour area Jeronij!

(All I'm afraid of is Greenpeace (overly creative there ) busting yo' ass, because a little wind will blow all you materials in to the open sea, or landinwards for that matter.)

 

But not only the harbour looks cool, the entire regioon is mindblowing!

 

See you next time!

Nice docks, sick of saying once again a great update but it's so tempting
Keep up the awesome work!

[SYM Productions 7]

Haha Jasper I was thinking exactly the same thing!

Anyway, allways great work Jeronji!

[sim1234 62]

The modifications you made to the cargo docks are great jeronij! It's a shame you've decided not to release them. Keep up the brilliant work!

[jeronij 13]

Hello dear Simtropia visitors !!!

I am so glad for your feedback about the cargo docks !!! After reading your comments, well, I dont like to release lots with many dependancies, but I will check the cranes dependacies ( there are some other like the silos) and I

[DJGspinNhitz 7]

Those Jetties look awesome, I hope you end up releasing them, you have become one of the better BATers on the STEX and really quickly. I have tried to use the BAT but have problem creating a box. I need LEGOS to build with LOL. I just don't understand BAT and how to use it, I could maybe if I was shown 1 on 1 but I can't grasp it by reading and looking a pictures.

Keep up the great work

Wow! OUTstanding  j.!!
Man, u're awesome!

I like your industrial port, I only can say:

[ldvger 19]

Jeronij-

It's been a while since I posted any thoughts here, although I have been following your development of your region and your progress learning the BAT tool.  You are doing a wonderful job, all the way around, but, if I may offer just a teensy bit of critisism:

 

The new jetties/breakwaters are...hmmm...perhaps hastily done?  I like the idea of trying to create a natural-looking breakwater, don't get my wrong there.  I grew up near a seaport that had a rock breakwater and it figures fairly heavily in my memories.  And while I admire your attempts to create a breakwater in SC4, the boxey shapes you used just don't cut it for me.  It reminds me of the movie with Tom Hanks where the FedEx plane crashed and all the boxes in the plane washed up on shore.  The breakwater looks like a bunch of boxy litter to me instead of rocks. 

 

I am not a BATter, so I have no idea how hard it would be to create more realistic rocks.  And, maybe you have planned to go back and make the rocks more irregular in the fine tuning stage...

 

Just a thought.  If you can create some real-looking rocks, this is definitely something I will use in my CJ, assuming of course that you release it to the STEX.

Outstanding coastlines, keep it up!

[gmavignier 3]

Great lots dude. I would like to see them released as retaining walls though (just the walls no streets of course). Just like the ones you have already released that have corner, diagonal and straight pieces. I could help you out some if it is too much trouble.

[bat 6]

Wow, a great BAT.

[Superstar 69]

Awesome! Never seen those before, looks really cool and once again you deserve a thumbs up

[Micah 16]

How in the world did you know I was thinking that? I was talking to another guy on AIM about rocky shorelines for Simcity. I bet you thought of that because it would match the shoreline with your A Coru

[Darmok 34]

Amigo, I don't know what to say anymore! Each and everytime you succed at surpassing yourself!!! Those are the most real looking breakwater I've ever seen! What is very hard to achieve in those kind of lots is the randomness, and it looks like you achieved a very good result!

I can't say that I'm impressed anymore, It's now the quality we all expect from your work my friend!

Bravo!

Take care!

[timotheus4 39]

Rocky things like that are done quite often around here to prevent erosion. Top notch!

[sebrat13wildcat 5]

That's amazing - you really should put those pier walls up on the STEX

[dadyrghluv 8]

these pics are wonderful. very nice job u have done here. these rock type foundations are common place here near the southeast coast, such as virginia, nc,sc. what next jeronij, blimps? lol. u have outdone yourself again man, keep up the good work

[jeronij 13]

Hello dear Simtropia visitors !!!

A quick post to say THANKS for the comments and compliments !!! I see it was a good idea to deal with those breakwaters !!!

I finished them yesterday and I started to use them in one of my cities. Some pics to demonstrate it !!!

 

 

 

Lora, nice to see you again , I understand what you mean, but those breakwaters are made of cement boxes, no stones , in fact each block has also a metal anchorage in each side ( which can not be seen in game due to resolution limitations). There are some like them in the harbour where I live in Palma de Mallorca, and in each naval installation I know here. I apreciate your suggestions for a future development. A more rural one.

 

To All: Again a big thanks for the feedback. I plan to post a regular update in a few days  .

 

 

Next update in progress....

[sloppet 3]

fantastico updateo!

lol, great work jeronij

[Shadow Assassin 336]

Looks quite nice, especially with your seawalls (which, unfortunately, I don't use much because they don't exactly fit with what I intend ) But I quite like it.
