Zone without road driving me nuts

[cantremember 0]

Hi there.

I suppose I will post a screenshot if people are curious or my explanation isn't clear enough, but in my city there is a small section (maybe 4x10) of zoneable squares that appeared in the middle of nowhere.

There's no roads there, but I painted the squares yellow and buildings appeared. Soon they go abandoned due to garbage/crime because services can't get there and they have no road. Now though I can't even de-zone or rezone it, hovering the zoning tool over those squares doesn't "highlight" them. Destroying all roads in the area, messing up the terrain with mountains or boulders also doesn't make these zone-able squares go away, they seem to come back as soon as the land they were on becomes suitable again.

It's a very small zone but it's driving me insane.

Any ideas ?

Have you tried to lower the terrain and create a small lake, the "Bug Lake"?

I miss the incredible immortality killer of SimCity 4 in this scenario, that always worked out great. Sadly there is no such thing (that I know of) in Skylines.

The bug lake as suggested by widox could work quite nicely. Placing a drain-pipe next to the newly created lake should solve the problem quite easily.

I have another suggestion that could work. You can download fine road anarchy from the workshop (personally I use No Pillars since I had some compatibility problems with some of my other mods, fine road anarchy has more options though but No Pillars should do the job as well). If you place a road next to/on top of the unzonable area with 'no collision' turned on it should get rid of any growable buildings. I've noticed this with No Pillars, I don't know exactly how fine road anarchy behaves in this matter but it should do a similar job. It is a little bit trial and error though, this problem is fairly uncommon so I don't know if this is a solution but you can always try.

And if you have the Disasters DLC you could always hit it with a meteor strike off course
