First Looks at the town of Gene, Folland.

Okay then, I opened Simcity4 and did a little development and watching of the Automata as they zoom across town. Quite enjoyable. This is more of a filler, I don't have anything awe inspiring to show right now. I always end up making little towns. Well here's another.

As you can tell, there's been some effort lately. Don't kid yourself, there's a poo-ton of island left to even render, not to mention develop on once rendered.

I like to show off my trains. You just can't get these moments in-game, so editing the train onto the platform had to have been done. This is at the moment a terminus, though that may change later if I decide to have it cross the water to the mainland, but that would mean cutting through the town center.

Also, the train time-table is complete bull.

I just love my grocery store. It's one of my utmost favorite BATs.

And this wasn't originally an image I was going to showcase, but I thought, why the hell not and so it's here.

This is near the edge of the town's city tile, where my transit networks get a bit funkay. At first I had the Heavy Rail line go elevated and cross over the highway, but that just made me too cranky with the result, so I blew it up! This is the much more realistic version, where the highway passes over the now grounded train tracks. These tracks are actually a part of a gigantic three-way interchange that spans two city tiles. The spur that crosses under the highway will eventually go south, while the straight line will move north. Happy to say the rail and highway are being used. Just not in this image at the moment..
