Project Orion Mod Problem

[FourWinds 29]

I've been following Orion, and the other mods that make it fly, with great interest. Without installing myself, I've gleaned a lot of information from this thread over the weeks, and I think I could run with it myself.

 

I have to say however that I agree with some of the other posts about the offset/offsets being perhaps off-putting. I've watched Skye's video 2 and he clears up a lot of points, but even he seemed to think that the original plot resources were where they were indicated; reading this thread suggests that there is some issue here, but maybe that's been resolved. Like I said: I didn't install yet, so I didn't check on water and the like. 

 

The reason I write this post is because I happened to notice that one of Twitch's most popular streamers (Lirik) was streaming SimCity last night (20k+ viewers for a number of hours). At the start he asked the chat about Orion, and the response was that it was not good and didn't work well at all; this is not the case I think personally. I also think that this perception would fall away pretty quickly if the new build area indication was not offset, and anything else that was offset was corrected if at all possible; to my mind, player uptake would benefit if it were prioritised. Also I understand due to reading, and watching Skye, about ctrl zoning - sod that btw - and RCI plopping; perhaps greater effort needs to be made in spoon-feeding this information to the majority who just don't want to spend long in reading and comprehension.

 

None of what I have said is intended to be a criticism in the slightest way; it's just my thoughts on the friendliness of Orion and 'supporting' mods currently. I understand that you generous and talented mod creators might cry out 'sod the masses, we are making this for the community who do like to make an effort by reading and understanding.'

 

I'm looking forward to using all this new stuff soon; I'm still going to hold off and watch how Skye gets on first however, as I've come to respect his musings on things.

It appears you don't have Project Akar, which contains the regional road set that allows you to draw roads outside the normal 2k border.

 

You can download Akar here:

In order to zone outside the original border, you have to connect a regional road from outside the original border to a regular road within the border and ensure that it is either in the northern part of the extended map or the eastern (or it might be western... sorry, they throw me off sometimes) part of the extended map.

 

I'm glad you solved the problem .

Made a screenshot just for you. Zoning outside 2k border (3k)

 

Dirt road is 2k, beyond that is 3k. CTRL + Zone inside the 2k border to get it pass to 3k areas. As I add in the download, please improvise every aspect while using this mod.

 

 

This mod may not be the best for all users. Despite the offset pollutions and all, it was meant for those who love to design a city regardless of RCI requirements. If you play based on RCI, satisfying your sims, cash cow for non sandbox, then this mod may not be the best for you. Unless you know your way around tolerate with all the offsets and a little patience study how everything goes along with it.

 

CTRL + Zone

commencer à l'intérieur ancienne frontière . Ne sera pas zoner route passé. Utilisez RCI plop Bâtiments de projet Akar lorsqu'il est passé routes.Regardez la video si vous avez besoin de plus d'aide (désolé , son en anglais)
