My first city, my first spaghetti without previous planning Note to self: Leave more space between HWY for those pylons!

I brought this up in Q&A thread here on simtropolis and @Azurescepter said they [CO] want to give us more options, which will make hwy's and roads look way better that they are now. More time is needed as it's only release state of the game.

If You play game in RL pace one landfill would serve entire city without any problems... and traffic would almost dissapear. But who would play in such turtle speed mode? It worked for CIM2 to make realistic lines and their usage, however it's city builder game, not transport tycoon.

And what exactly would You expect? Let's look at SC2013: trams and buses cutting through the city like mad without any reason and purpose - I alway wandered - why it's so random to choose next stop and lack of metro. Then there are trains... but maps are so small that one can't fit anything other than 1 cargo and passenger station... And SC4: mass transit is just numbers... did it work well? Cities XL franchise - haven't played, won't say anything. Maybe someday CO will make DLC called Cities Skylines in Motion

Note from dev CO_Karoliina: In My opinion this explanation makes sense. The simulation isn't bugged that much as one would think

I must say, after playing for a while, that performance is outstanding! Even on my 6 year old computer I can play without any fps loss. Things that bothers me: onramps and offramps needs some tweaking to be smoother especially when connecting ground to elevated. ground pollution still looks unpleasant On the other hand everything is great I respect the devs for their work

So, 5 hours passed since release... I find myself confused constructing roads, like I did in CIM2

Then what were you talking about because his response seemed appropriate to what you were saying. The players we have been watching have been using pre-built interchanges or have been throwing them up quickly/did them in a limited amount of space. Here's a highway interchange with smoother ramps. It just comes down to who takes the time to make them look nice, (and I'm sure this could be improved too) (pic) In my opinion, someone who spend some time in CIM2 will get grasp in laying roads smoothly faster than someone, who didn't. It looks like the same system, but with fewer options to choose. Looking forward for improvements of hwy system in C:S

I'll leave info here, that devs are planning to add GLR/trams in future to this game

I've been watching Quill18 LP and I noticed how he struggles to do highway stuff properly - in overall his work looked dull and unpleasant. Also worth noticing was terrain forcing steep slopes... but I think that's because quill was trying to do sth for a moment and wanted to make it better in future episodes. In my opinion something similar to SC4 slope mod would solve it (just for realish look) In my opinion highways need further tweaking - more lanes, accel/deccel lanes and such. Next thing I noticed is sewage pollution not properly distributing over water further down the stream... ... and cars parking everywhere on the streets - couldn't guess what is traffic anymore... but maybe it's something one can get used to. On the other hand C:S is beautiful as it is! Very impressive job I must say that this game met my expectations for it from playing CIM and CIM2.

My only concern about CS is the ability to build highways as freely as NAM RHW mod let us in SC4 with realism and such (despite many limitations ofcourse). I get thrilled when I see pre build hwy in CS dev videos, after SC2013 failure in this particular matter. So, my question is: When I buy ext tile for mi city - if there's a highway - can I rebuild the hwy for my liking? Or is that setup permanent? I'd love to be able to build highways like in SC4 with RHW

Just some RHW retrofitting after heavy development in adjacent city tile. BEFORE (S-N): AFTER (N-S): Still area surrounding Highway is in development

quite many avenues there I like it!

I think this thread needs to be bumped up Thus I present You very raw concept of an interchange with BRT line running through:

For sure! This game is enjoyable and addicting as hell :) Great pics Paeng!
