All I can say is that it pretty much blows the Maxis version out of the water! And it's sure something that hasn't been done so far (at least not to my knowledge). Should open up interesting possibilities for creative CJers, too.

@pclark06 It's great to see you experiment something different in BATing, it looks real good I love these cheap hotels temporary workers and truck drivers sleep in for some reason.

Quaryaba City State 2 !

Still figuring out som aspect of this simulation. SimCity like zoning and some agriculture developed. Sanitation and public seem to go by thereself. for some part; 3d world slums seem to be the botom line of this simulation as their moved by the buldozer !

Some other industries like lumber and mining be posible still searching !

Sincerely yours,

Making a start on the third victim subject from NYC:

heaps and heaps of detail to add....this will be one for the maximalists. 

[Lucario Boricua 7,052]

The Ministry of Earth Sciences and the Department of Geology of Cameran University have completed their geothermal gradient investigation of the Kingdom!

Presenting...

 

֍ KINGDOM OF ROTA ֎
GEOTHERMAL GRADIENT MAP

 

Some notes:

* Geothermal gradient is the rate at which temperature rises as one digs deeper into the soil. Away from volcanic hot spots and tectonically active areas, these gradients range from 15 to 30 °C per kilometer of depth (43 to 86 °F per mile of depth).

* At volcanically active regions, this rate can be as much as ten times higher.

* Rocks, nor groundwater, have to be past boiling temperature to be useful for geothermal power, as systems using closed loop heat exchange can use liquids with much lower boiling points, like pentane, butane and ammonia.

* The Ministry of Earth Sciences and the Department of Geology of Cameran University recommend exploitation of these site categories for the following purposes:

     -  Geothermal gradients of at least 150 °C per kilometer (light yellow) for utility scale geothermal electricity.

     - Geothermal gradients from 100 to 150 °C per kilometer (dark yellow) for community scale geothermal electricity and/or utility scale district heating

     - Geothermal gradients from 75 to 100 °C per kilometer (orange) for community scale district heating and successful hot spring resorts

     - Geothermal gradients from 50 to 75 °C per kilometer (red) for small scale hot spring utilization and ground heat pumps

Well, I dunno if I count as a maximalist, but I do know that I appreciate additions to the Chicago 1890 tileset (into which this building fits perfectly IMO) because it seems to be the tileset with the least amount of content while it contains architectural styles that I happen to like very much. I really dig the combination of multi-coloured brick and arched windows for some reason. Sometimes the result looks like an "urban mansion", sometimes almost industrial, but I almost always like it. Therefore, I'm looking forward to seeing progress on this one in particular!

This time I re-created Stonehenge as it was in 3600 BC (according to some archeologists). Also shown is the map I used to make the model.

Oohh Stonehenge .. +2 Faith and a free Great Prophet.

I have made some changes to the building (borne of necessity from trying to fit this into a W2W 16m environment) so it isn't a recreation. Most noticeable are the small front elevation which was the trickiest to fit into the SC4 grid, and the roof line, which on the real building is really awkward and, despite being pitched, made of tar paper .....

The Ministry of Earth Sciences and the Department of Climatology of Cameran University have completed their average wind speed investigation of the Kingdom!

Presenting...

 

֍ KINGDOM OF ROTA ֎
AVERAGE WIND SPEED
AT 80m HUB HEIGHT MAP

 

 

Some notes about it:

 

* In general, sustained wind speeds of at least 7 meters per second / 25 km/h / 15 mph (m/s, corresponds to red, orange, yellow and light yellow) are considered appropriate for wind power facilities

* Small systems for private use (single or cluster of households) require these speeds at 30 meters / 100 ft above ground.

* Medium systems for community or private commercial/industrial/agricultural use require said speeds at around 50 meters / 165 ft above ground

* Large systems for utility scale use require said speeds at heights ranging from 70 to 110 meters (230 ft to 360 ft)

* Wind will tend to speed up at mountain ridges, very flat and open terrains, significant water bodies and/or downwind of isolated topographic features.

 

We strongly encourage our citizens to voice their opinion on the Kingdom's energy future!

2nd building down for the NY prop pack.....

 

Gorgeous NYC structures, Matt. I think there are some Upper East Side townhomes that also have your name on them!

Gorgeous!

These are wonderful even with the changes.  Sometimes things just won't work like we plan.

The calm before the development boom:

This is the southeaster tile of Vancouver.  It is home to the final stretch of the Kingsway, which has been entirely rebuilt.  I've also rezoned the entire tile (outside of that disheveled industrial area that I will tackle later).  In the older days I pockmarked my blocks with tree and other park lots, I've since moved away from that with fully zoned blocks, which I think add a bit more density.

The central commercial node for this tile:

The intersection of Boundary and Kingsway.  The Boundary LRT ends here and merges with the Kingsway LRT that will eventually wind its way down to New Westminster:

More to come after some growing!

Here is a reference point.  Working inside the yellow square.

Awesome!!!! Thanks a whole bunch SM2!!!

[mattb325 28,891]

There's a cluster of buildings on Greenwich/Canal & Washington Sts which I will make. Of course they need to be squared off for SC4 (trust me to pick the only non-grid corner in Manhattan to model )

So for the fourth building, I'm doing number 428 Greenwich St, complete with interesting art work.

I can't tell you how often I've turned down a property because it didn't have a bunch of cellos climbing up the wall.....

[nycsc4 5,250]

The growing has begun.  Kingsway has filled in quite rapidly:

Wonderful building, the art work is really cool looking.
