Yes, parking lot next to a stadium! A key to realism.. and soccer in America is picking up.....

what?? Are you making updates in ST chat?

Moneky power vs. Cat power........ man, it's innovative :-P

Starvation for comments accounts for nearly 70% of CJ failures. Just keep on posting stuff, and one day you get something like "Ive read the CJ from the first page, and I'm just improessed!!!!" kind of people. "Enlightened CJers" don't care about the number of comments at all. Btw, impressive region!!!! You may have noticed, not many CJers show regions although demands are high

Wow.... normally, building cities with lots of hills and valleys is difficult, but this one made it! NZ as a part of "pacific ring of fire"...... be careful for volcanoes and earthquakes:-P

1. Replies @GMT Oh.... intrigued..... what into what kind of downtown those buildings blend in.... @Benedict Thanks for your ideas! (and a logo) An antimatter pizza....... I wonder what it tastes like.... sweet instead of spicy? @belfastuniguy Thanks for your ideas! (btw, "Kovash" sounds like something Leech10 would say @zelgadis Nice to see increased variety of businesses in Lyra Ensembla Have you already finished reading the newest Harry Potter? @BlasterNT Thanks for your ideas! @Schulmanator Thanks for your ideas! @His Divine Hand Yes, Coruscant project is on its way...... and you can see SC4-made Coruscant on football_fever's "PLANETS" CJ. Zanapolis will also get a Coruscant-looking parts in near future! @jacqulina Cheers! @outriderdriver Thanks for your idea! @topcliff Thanks for your ideas! All those companies sound like..........something familiar @Leech10 Thanks for your ideas! And I thought..... what do you think of making your brands Myon's or Zabitake's, and have a thier branches in Zanapolis. @Menotyou Yes, 6 million vehicles for 23 million citizens! There are geographical and historical reasons for it.... Zanapolis stands on numerous deltas, and road network is not very efficient. Another reason is the advanced public transportation - maglev monorail operates at 300km/h and ATEX at 700km/h - why choose to spend loads of effort driving your own car at 60km/h? @crushedcar That is one of the reasons I am thinking of BATing a "stratosphere platform" solar powered flying ozone generation plant. The plan actually exists in real world @collgab Thanks! 2. Annoucement Current best company names according to me (yes, just me, quite selfishly and some names are slightly altered or "deformed" from origional 1st places: Cylon Doppelgangers, Virtual Horizons, Quasar, 2nd places. Rolex Chroniton (Investment bank) Hann Nawm (General consultancy) Val Ama Laser (hitech optical industry) Logo award: infinity sign for already existing Wuxianjie Infinia Logistica Some suggestions by existing Star League members - perhaps, it is better to keep those brands on your own, and I use it in Zanapolis as branches perhaps

Nice collection of near-futuristic skyscrapers! (and also getting worried about the size of your plug-in folder and game performance :-P The radiating rays look good!

YOU ARE SET TO BUILD CORUSCANT!!!!!!!!!!! You know what? You are just about to materialize an age-long dream of thousands of SC4 players!!!! btw I am BATing more pieces for Modular Coruscant Set. I will keep on pumping in BATs for this.

What does it exactly say on the concrete "welcome" sign? That village is so realistic!!! Good job with the coop with Glenni :-)

No-one starts with perfect CJ. if you see one, there must be another failed CJ by the same author or he has lurked for a looooooong time. Btw, I can give you a package of links to 50+ scifi BATs.

There is a group of CJers called "Star League" that specialize in sci-fi CJs, so you could get a lot of feedbacks from there! Feelin' good to see a scifi CJ rising!

OH NO!!!!!!!!!! THAT BUS!!!!!!!!!! .......still hanging there?

Hydrogen Cycle in Zanapolis "Hydrogen economy beyond fuel cells" Exhaustion of all economically viable petroleum reserves of Planet Arista 4 during the Digital Age has put a decisive end to a carbon-based economy started in the Petroleum Age. There are two major divisions within the cycle - chemical pathway and physical pathways. Means of Hydrogen Production Unless brought from external sources, hydrogen is merely an energy carrier and not he source of energy. The main source of hydrogen consumed in Zanapolis mainly comes from space, sea, and local/domestic generation by electricity. In various parts the city, there are underground hydrogen storage facilities. Floating electrochemical hydrogen plants Initially, hydrothermal conversion of natural gas (methane) was the most common method of hydrogen extraction. In mid-Digital Age, this was superceded by Suiso Renmei‘s ocean-based floating solar-powered hydrogen plants and space mining. The largest commercial fleet of floating hydrogen plants is found in the Ward of Sagittatius Proxima (The Ward of Sagittarius Proxima - Floating solar hydrogen abstraction plant array) Technologically the biggest breakthrough in develpment of floating solar-powered hydrogen plant is the highly efficient photovoltaic cell. Multi-layered composite photovoltaic cells achieved a conversion efficiency of 50% and pushed this hydrogen production method to a commercially viable standard. (Information provided by Suiso Renmei Ltd.) Distributed photocatalytic hydrogen generation centers As Zanapolis moved into hydrogen economy, it meant a formidable challenge in altering the exsiting infrastructure. At the end, the transition was done in a way that required minimal changed to the infrastructure - distributed hydrogen generation. Some questioned the efficiency of such form of hydrogen infrastructure, but technology solved most of the problem, especially photocatalytic hydrogen generation method. Photocatalytic water-splitting of rutile-phase doped titanium or tungsten oxide is used where large-scale floating plants are not possible, such as the middle of a high-density urban area. Such hydrogen production centers are powered by electricity and water. Some carbon-based waste treatment facilities also generate hydrogen by photocatalytical decomposition of carbon wastes. Distributed hydrogen infrastructure removed a need for potentially dangerous canalization network of hydrogen gas. External literature on photocatalytic hydrogen generation from organic compounds (typical hydrogen fueling station - with local hydrogen generation unit underground) LED light source is used as a single-wavelength light source and the photocatalyst is illuminated in the presence of water. Fine-tuning of photocatalyst and choice of LED achieves an efficiency up to ~40%. This technology was theorized as early as in the Petroleum Age, but the technology of that time could achieve only 10% efficiency and the method was economically not viable. According to the census of AE1454 Day100, Zanapolis had 1,950,000 local hydrogen production centers throughout the city, with 1,200,000 found in private residential buildings. Space mining The biggest reserve of deuterium and tritium is found in space. SuisoRenmei Ltd. is especially active in space hydrogen mining operation. Most precious light isotopes such as Helium-3 are mined in asteroids, an bulk hydrogen is mined in the satellites of gas giant planets of Arista System. SuisoRenmei Hachigohki and SuisoRenmei Shichigohki are the most common space tankers that carry hydrogen and helium-3. (Cosmotanker 'Suiso Renmei Shichigohki') Spaceship building industry is trying to build a hydrogen mining ship that can operate on gas giant planets, making possible a much more efficient and reliable supply of hydrogen. Usage: Physical: nuclear fuel cycle "Physicohydrogen Pathway" Nuclear fission power discovered at the end of the Petroleum Age used only heavy atoms, mostly transuranium elements. Development in nuclear fusion technology not only opened a way to practically unlimited energy sources, but also integrated existing nuclear fission technology into broader nuclear fuel cycle involving both light and heavy elements. Today, two closely related nuclear fuel cycles exist - one centered around fission power and another around fusion power. A stock of hydrogen is passed through an enrichment facility to extract deutrirum (D) and tritium (T) for D-T nuclear fusion power plants. On the other hand, depleted hydrogen enters the chemical cycle. The fusion product is mostly helium, but there are some amounts of radioactive isotopes of lithium, berylium and boron. These elements are regarded as nuclear wastes and its disposal was a consant problem. Yet in recent years, antimatter and advanced nuclear synthesis (e.g. actinium into uranium nuclear fuel or nuclear synthesis of technetium) technologies are easing the issue up to some extent. (The Ward of Kosmodrom Odin, Fusion power plant) Chemical: oxidation pathways, "Chemohydrogen Pathway" Hydrogen “burning” processes in general, are called oxidation pathways. This includes combustion and fuel cells. Fuel cell technologies completed in the mid-digital age completely de-carbonated the transport sector, and transformed the electricity distribution grid from centralized to distributed. The oxidation processcan be categorized into two types - direct and indirect. Direct oxidation are combustion and fuel cells, where hydrogen is directly converted into water. Indirect oxidation involves various chemical processes, often overlapping with the carbon cycle. One example of such overlap is hydrothermal conversion of methane into hydrogen, and olefin hydrogeneation process widely used in “carbon industry” found in the carbon cycle in Zanapolis. Direct or indirect oxidation, either way, the end-product is water vapor. (One of the contact points of hydrogen cycle and carbon cycle - methane/petrol oligomerization plant, Ward of Capella Raion) There are currently about 6,000,000 registered motor vehicles, and 59.3% of them run on hydrogen fuel cell, 38.9% run on electricity, 1.2% run on hydrocarbons (petrol/methane) and 0.5% on solar power. The last remaining 0.1% are groud light rail and other public transportations that run directly on main electricity grid. Aircrafts and spacecrafts propel in atmosphere by burning hydrogen (in chemical sense). Nuclear fusion process for spacecraft propulsion in atmosphere is prohibited due to light radioactive waste products. Issues: Light radioactive isotope waste problem Nuclear fusion process creates some radioactive isotopes, and this poses the same hazard as nuclear fission processes invented in the Petroleum Agel, and this is the very reason fusion engines of spacecrafts are not allowed in atmosphere. Traditionally, they were either buried or launched into space. Recently, it is starting to be used as antimatter co-annihilation agent for Graviton drives. This is considered an ideal solution as the unwanted radioactive elements completely disappear. Hydrogen leakage Hydrogen molecule in stratosphere can photodissociate by ultraviolet radiation and can create hydride radicals that destroy the ozone layer. Despite numerous measures to prevent hydrogen leaking from any working systems, it is not 100%. Every year during spring time over the south pole of Planet Arista 4, some degree of ozone depletion is observed. Since the south pole is mostly occupied by ocean, no significant damages to environment are expected, but some environmentalists call for an action.

So many people are forced to close their CJs because of computer failures..... :-( :-( :-( BUT You as a person, is still here standing (and CJing ) - and we all rise up from the ashes of obliteration by faulty softwares I will move on to your new CJ

Any chance of this hitting STEX?? (by thianz)

At the moment, my 3 favourites are Cylon Doppelgangers (hi-tech heavy industry, eg nuclear fusion reactor) Virtual Horizons (cyberdrome innovations Quasar Inc (antimatter production) and the infinity for the logo of already exsiting Wuxianjie Infinia Logistica still taking ideas from people..... My recent works: Modular Coruscant in progress, currently BATing 2300m tall "Nooyis-2"

Well... really tough question really.................. For visual stuff, Star Wars definitely!!! In fact, I end up BATing stuff like this But when it comes to stories and philosophy, I often go into anime. Ghost in the Shell and its concept on blurring of Cyber -Reality distincition appeared very interesting to me. I am actually a big fan of Arthur C Clarke, for his naturalistic science fiction. So in general, I am really into naturalistic science fictions, which is something that may come true in the future. On dystopian side, 1984 and Brave New World together.

So, when is the likely date for Sim Mars Beta 2 release?

What an art............. yeah, you are truely a candy creator, or digital graphic artist.... stories and images, your creativity is amazing...

@Leech10 Perhaps, people just live there, never coming back down on the ground and just get used to that altitude lol @GMT but use it carefully.... It will get waaaaaay out of place in most cities. @belfastuniguy I will be watching your CJ then! @shinkansen1 I think, any CJer who place that Coruscant towers are set for sci-fi ANNOUCEMENT wanted: cool (futuristic/alien) company names for Lyra Ensembla Lyra Ensembla is so-to-speak an interstellar guild, a union of companies that engage in interstellar business. http://motherlandofsimtropolis.dudyconstructor.com/wiki/doku.php?id=lyra_ensembla The companies you "set up" by suggesting a name, will become part of the CJ. Anyone has got any ideas?

Yeah, a criss-cross of pipelines would be good.

"garbage files" MORE THAN ONE YEAR OLD can go, I think...

Accuracy down to single building..... I see what you mean :-S

ATEX extends from Iteza-A Spaceport to neighboring Wards (white arrow) ATEX line starts from Iteza-A Spaceport, through Ward of Kaguya Goten and into Subarunomiya (the grid-dy city on the left) ATEX passes by Tau Kinematik Kaguya Packaging and Distribution Center Yarkozvezda's "Canopus" casts a gigantic shadow on the ground.... A new station was built. Station at night..... Probably, it is a pretty bad idea to keep this ship hanging above residential area.....

Now things are getting quite British
