Answering my own question - it turns out the "24-hour" automata controller just generates the automata according to the morning commute, any time in the game day. Switching to the PAM (https://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/23362-persistent-automata-mod/) solves the puzzle for me

Hi folks, I recently upgraded NAM to version 48. I noticed with either the LB or NAM 24-hr persistent radical automata controller, the automata are generated according to the morning commute traffic only. It never shows the evening commute. I also tried the persistent radical controller (non 24-hour). Only during the morning commute hours will automata appear. During the evening times nothing happens. The in-game clock seems to flow normally, the time shown by hovering over the date changes, and is aligned with the displayed day/night appearance. I understand the automata are visual only, but it's confusing to see that it got stuck at the morning commute. Any chance you know the fix for this? Thanks for your help Edit: by using the path finder tool I can confirm morning and evening commutes both exist and are different

Whoa, I have been a lurker on ST for 16 years, and I finally have something to contribute to the lovely sc4 community. Yesterday I discovered a perfect circle of severe air pollution in my city. After examining what was wrong, I noticed a park I bulldozed was an air pollution cheat. Thought that might have bugged the simulation. I found this post on ST confirming it could have been the problem. Long story short, after hours of thinking and experimenting, I found a way to fix the problem. Keep the cheat LOT in the save file and ensure the pollution level is normal. Open up the cheat LOT in question in iLive Reader or SC4Tool. Change either or both the "Pollution at centre" or the "Pollution Radius" to 0. These fields contain a set of 4 values. The value representing air pollution is the first one as I marked out. Load the save, destroy the cheat LOT as normal Profit I think the theory is if you suddenly remove a LOT with massive negative pollution, the game simulation treats it as a sudden increase of pollution. So just nerf the pollution effect to 0 before loading the save. Hope this helps someone who is nervous like I was last night

well, the city is beautiful, but it doesn't seem to be a eastern city at all.
