Aspects of the Game that need to be Toned Down

[BlitzPackage 19]

Greetings good people.

 

First, this game is truly awesome.

 

However, there are a few things it needs to tone down:

1. Death care.  I have so many cemeteries yet houses a few blocks over keep saying there are dead bodies waiting.  This is, I think, excessive.  Now, to be fair, I don't know the capacity of cemeteries that cities usually have per population unit.  Also, I don't have a crematory.  However, it does seem excessive.  Is there some guidance on cemeteries?
2. I don't mind that buildings get abandoned, however in a large city it is very tedious to go deal with each abandoned building as they could be spread out all over the place.  Can these buildings be destroyed automatically - like say a demolition team that, with a budget, goes around the city demolishing old buildings and structures?

Thoughts?

1 - people die, each and every individual cim has to get buried, until you get crematoriums. I'm not sure if the bodies actually decompose and free up a spot in the cemetery. It's one of those things we've never had to deal with in city builders before, but I think it's sort of realistic.

 

2 - there's a mod for that in the steam workshop: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=406132323

Bodies don't decompose, cemeteries fill up just like landfills. Before having access to a crematorium your only choice is to make further cemeteries to transfer the bodies to. Click on the cemetery then click on the Empty building button, game will let you know when fully empty.

 

Demolishing abandoned buildings is not the solution, as they will become abandoned again once they re-grow, if the cause is not addressed. You should try to solve the issue causing abandonment instead.

Road networks also have a big factor in the handling of the dead in your city. If the hearses cannot reach the dead/can't get to them in time, you'll keep getting those notices, as well.

Another thing is the fact that automobiles only use one lane - even when they have two turning lanes they can go in.  That causes traffic issues.  Automobiles should be able to switch lanes, go into a faster lane and use more than one turning lane.
