@Tonraq: thanks for stopping by. might be the right time to restart the CJ works again.

+----------------------------+

So to start this, let me put it this way. back in 2011-2012 I played SimCity 4 and created one city: Tanjung Pasir. this city meant to represent one part of Karasem which located next to a major straight crossing (recently has bridge opened). The area itself is a rather sandy peninsula in the northwest end of Natuna Island (as shown in map). It's main economy is from oil and gas refinery nearby the city and a major port (plus what used to be ferry crossing). I put the city and surrounding area population around 70-120k.

Anyway tangent... basically few months ago I reopened the old cities of Karasem (for the holiday traffic update) and stumbled upon this one. I just feel eh... this is kinda uh (I know it just me blaming my old self) compared to my current standard and realism for the setting. I make several work to the city (show some in discord already) and I'll show some work. I might make full update about the area later on but for now its just about the work to revamp the city.

Old Tanjung Pasir Station I feel like there are a lot of stuff off here, like for example the city itself isnt that big for this train station, then the track should end in terminus instead of loop like that (plus its no smooth curve)

the old city (town) center only consist of this small market with the round road around it

The Tanjung Pasir Expressway nearby, uhh that exit . and note that railway is double track in the old version and some random freight terminal

This is the overview of the old Tanjung Pasir and yeah thats the only part of city with the road heading outside the city

Ok enough for digging old stuffs, now time to review the new works.

The new Tanjung Pasir Station, I made it straight into a terminus instead of the older work of it with loop and turns. I also make the station located nearby the Pasar Tanjung Pasir (Market) where it make more sense now. I also add the workshop or some sort of locomotive depot next to the station.

This area used to be the old station area, now I turned it into the city utilities office and school. I also add Alun Alun Tanjung Pasir (central square) in the area used to be old station. I also expand the old southbound road from the city into 4 lanes because this is main road from Tanjung Pasir to Bandan, the largest city and capital of Natuna Barat Province.

I didnt do much to this area aside from populate the city and remove the station but anyway just want to show how the area which used to be city center now (which no longer become center).

And now the Tanjung Pasir Expressway, note how I remade the intersection and turned the rail line into STR (and remove that random freight station since the industrial area is in north)
