Hello everyone,

So incredibly excited to get my hands on this game I thought I might as well show you around in the town I've made sofar.

Welcome to the fresh new little town of Forkton. Named after the fork in the river that's the lifeblood for this new development. With the recent construction of a new highway, and Dutch style water-engineering to make sure the river doesn't flood anymore, these flood plains are prime real estate!

edit: Decided to add a list of all the custom assets I've personally made for this city here in the first post for easy reference:
- irrigation ditches set (of 4) for the farming area: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=410391936
- 8x8 median park (works great when plopping a few in a row): http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=408366479
- 4x4 parking lot for industrial zones: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=406213099
- 8x8 parking lot for the Stadium: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=408733322
- 5x1 waiting area for bus stops: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=410372973
- 7x2 waiting area for train station (next to pedestrian overpass): http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=410373233


Here's an overview of the town:



and the intersection that connects the town to the highway.




The main route leading into the town. As you can see, Forkton is a perfect place. No sign of trouble at all here... nope... that's just the eeehhhmmm, firworks.. yes the fireworks




Let's take another look at the glorious fireworks that were organized to thank the wonderful mayor of this town. Also, the farmlands in the back.
The industrial section in the front has been called 'Stink Strip' by the local of Forkton. I guess they have their reasons.




The farmlands here on the fertile flood plains are the lifeblood of this town. The farmers were fighting over the land so much. The mayor decided to dig ditches between the fields. Only one case of 'attempted landgrab by drowning the other farmer' has been reported sofar.




You can also see the railroad and the river in the back. Our scientists are currently trying to figure out how to take advantage of these things. We're not too smart here in Forkton....




This strip of prime real-estate along the riverfront has been called Riverfront Road. We don't have too much imagination here either




Here are some pictures of 'Old Forkton'. A pleasant place to live in.




Also note the pedestrian overpass. It was constructed after an unfortunate accident involving, a tractor, a chicken, and for some strange reason a rubber duck.




Here's a look at 'New Forkton'. The fact that the newer people arrived at least 2 weeks later warrants the difference between old and new Forkton clearly.



A different angle on the central commercial and park section.




And another of the little neighborhoods.




The population doesn't seem to mind that the rich people on the cruise liners seem to gawk at them like they were in a zoo
