SimWarrior: Thanks! I'm glad your enjoying the uniqueness and small scale of the CJ. Hope you will continue to enjoy it as the towns grow.
Entry 4: It's all mines!
Right I'm back and am happy to say that this happened pretty much immediately after we left off from last time.
Which you guessed it, means we can actually try and fix that bodged highway interchange that we managed to screw up last time!
Right let's get to it!
Excellent this will work well.
Wait what do you mean a traffic planning official has deemed it dangerous?
We have to redo it?
Couldn't he have mentioned this before we built the damn thing
Fine.
Several more months later and we then have this.
Does this roundabout suit you better?
Yes.
Thanks god for that.
Right anyway next up we have some more industrial expansion courtesy of our citizens complaining about a lack of jobs.
(OOC: blame Neilsc007 for the boatload of interchange images, he kept telling me my interchanges were too dangerous.)
Though we do now seem to have a slight issue with providing jobs to our people, in our power plant running out of coal (OOC: At least I'm pretty sure this happened) for a little while which as you can imagine is a bit of a issue. Apparently they were having a bit of a problem receiving the coal imports from Norway.
Now luckily out prospectors (eg some kids playing around with a spade) have found deposits of the black gold further up the highway so were gonna set up a mining operation there.
First however, we had a little bit of a more sombre issue to deal with in the form of our first death.
Yes it's in a school (OOC: dammit Colossal Order that's pretty morbid of you lol).
Apparently they wont move the body until we have somewhere to bury it either which is a bit of a issue given that it's in a Primary School and all.
Anyway we have this lovely place where we could fit the needed chapel and graveyard located in this nice new neighbourhood of Gabtoria Point.
Excellent, now that's taken care of lets get back to our coal problem. Where are we?
WHAT!
We have to re do the interchange again?
Oh for the love of god why did no one think of making the interchange accessible from both incoming and outgoing traffic in the first place.
Oh well, several more months of headaches and several tonnes of Superglue and we have the final design for the interchange done.
Seriously I'm not changing this thing again alright?
Right with that done we could now begin our mining operations. Several years later and this is what the small mining town of Prenston Mines looks like. Quite probably the most uninviting place to live for several hundred miles but hey its all good. You might notice we also had to construct another coal power plant in the area,. We also plan on moving the other power plants here eventually but were kind of broke at the moment and we owe Norway a fair bit of money again so that'll have to wait. Anyway here's the current state of Prenston Mines.
And that's all for now. As usual though we'll leave you with this perfect example of class divi.. I mean the overview of our growing towns, from left to right the nice pleasant neighbourhood of Gabtoria Point with its shopping and suburbs and also a new roundabout interchange coming off the end of the highway which is frankly a lot safer and looks a lot better, Riverside which is slowly cleaning itself up but still has a rather working class feel to it thanks to the industry present and then Prenston Mines which you should probably avoid if you can help it.
Anyway till next time.
