Thread 725324930

how the fuck do I start roads

Take inspiration from the roads around you and that you've been driving on in real life, even and especially if they are shit-tier. It makes the city more realistic

>>725324930 (OP)
Take a hint from the past.

>>725325138
I'm not so bad at that once I get going. I just don't know what the fuck to do at the start. That connection looks like hot ass that will cause trouble regardless

Is it still possible to pirate all the DLC and use it in the Steam version?

>>725325696
yes, there are dlc unlockers that work for most games, including cs.

https://github.com/ubden/CreamApi-CreamInstaller
the linux fork works better, but if you're on windows then I don't know any alternative

>>725324930 (OP)
like real life, use the road hierarchy.

>>725325361
the end result of all that looks like shit. just a bunch of random dead end streets with tons of trees

>>725328552
That's literally modern green arterial planning conventions.

>>725325696
if you want to get banned, yes

>>725330503
fucks swedey finna do?

>>725328170
How likely is it that steam just straight up bans your account for using this?

>>725331675
the real question you should ask yourself is "is it worth risking losing the likely thousands of dollars I spent on games for a couple dlcs?"

>>725328170
Linux fork?

Google maps can be a good source for ideas

>>725332029
>spending thousands on steam
you can just get cs1 for $5 on instant gaming/g2a/kinguin and activate it on a new steam account

>>725324930 (OP)

>>725334106
even if you only ran it while using a vpn they have all your hardware specs, to be entirely sure you'd have to only run it on another computer

>>725334254
Most of the planet drives on the right side of the road.
>>725334821
Oh, wait. You're blind.

You can start with swastika streets and move on to black sun hyperborea once you're ready.

Let's see you draw it then

>>725324930 (OP)
>roundabout
I always install roundabouts at highway junctions and use the TM:PE mod to remove traffic lights, helping prevent future traffic jams.

>>725335676
Here's a better reference for what the arrows look like.

>>725328170
In the past, I used something that replaced just Assembly-CSharp.dll. I ran that for months and never had any issues. What happened to it?

>>725328552
If you connect the streets you would not only take up way more space with road but people would blast through those neighborhoods and be loud as fuck.
Dead ends are ideal because not every road should have to be able to support maximum traffic.

>comfy snow town time of year
ah yeah

how do i shot web

>>725324930 (OP)
Did this with no mods. It's possible, but takes patience.

>>725342081
What annoys me is they give you the really shit intersection of the OP but don't give you the highway pieces to fix it straight away. That's a very nice bit of design btw

>>725324930 (OP)
Cities Skylines 2 is on sale on Steam. Has the dev unfucked the performance and optimization issues yet?

>>725334254
Are you Bri'ish?

>>725342606
Isn't it free weekend? I'm sure I've seen ads on youtube claiming that.

>>725324930 (OP)
The default junctions are so shit I'm stunned this ever left beta. At least they figured it out in recent years, but by then the game was on its last legs. Just the fact they let you build a railroad bridge over like a few squares shows they never had any intention for realism.

>>725343318
>solution
I suppose. Technically.

>>725325423
use the dirt road as a stencil, then experiment with what you might want.

>>725324930 (OP)
By pissing on the grass until it dies and you make an obvious path to follow.

Skylines threads around release were magnificent

>>725344041
The railroad threaded through the highway is peak soul

i honestly love when people's highways look like roller coaster tycoon rides

i should pick this game up again

>>725343474
Kino

>use default clover leaf
>it's an absolute shit show

>>725331675
0. I've been using creamapi for years with various paradox games (including cities skylines) to unlock all the DLCs and I have never had an issue. I don't play these games online though.

>>725347547
Is CreamAPI different from the one that replaces Assembly-CSharp.dll?

>>725334254
We're in picrel timezone cunt

>>725324930 (OP)
>Game is like 13 years old
>Still runs like absolute shit
Is there any fix for this?
I have a modern gaming PC and every time the FPSdeath is why I stop playing.

>>725342081
those are some brutal corners on the bottom ones but pretty good otherwise

i was once having my best city, everything was awesome, then i needed to expand my primary roads, by doing so i angered the population, destroyed houses and businesses, got into debt and nosed down from there. im never playing cities skylines again

>>725349130
Yeah, looking at it now it could use longer on/off ramps, but I built it in the middle of nowhere for practice. Ended up building a small town around it later on and fixed some parts.

Is Cities Skylines 2 playable yet? Or do I just reinstall the first game?

>>725349882
Play the first

>Start the game up after over a year
>Half my mods don't work anymore and aren't maintained
>Can't even open old cities anymore
It's always such a shitshow going back to this game

>>725350746
I've lost so many cities to this bullshit

>>725348863
as far as I recall, CreamAPI replaces the steam_api DLLs

>>725349502
For me, its over educating the pop so that all the poo jobs have no takers

I only played SC4 a lot, coudln't get into Cities. Should I give it another try? Are there any other good city buildans?

>>725344041
The more I look at it, the funnier it gets.

>>725334254
this terrifies and confuses the civil engineer

>>725324930 (OP)
roads are pointless, traffic is completely unbalanced and bugged to shit

>>725346390
this can still be fixed

>>725352418
>has to make an uturn to merge into the highway lanes
>highway semis doing 100mph instantly vaporize the car and cause a 60 car collision in both lanes
no clap on dog this would be pretty funny irl just mount a camera overwatching this place and stream it

Is Skylines 2 fixed yet?

>>725352647
Skylines 1 isn't even fixed yet.

>>725353541
>told mods fix city skylines
>look inside
>nothing fixed

>>725347403
Best part is that the traffic AI is only partially responsible for this. Cloverleaf interchanges do cause that exact issue, the traffic AI is just (probably?) even worse at handling it than real drivers.

>>725331675
Completely unlikely. Valve does not give a fuck unless you flat out fuck with their client. This shit just replaces stuff for games on an individual basis.
That being said it is possible for a developer to individually ban you, it happened to me with Mortal Kombat, I think 11. But that's just a ban for the online.

>>725352647
lol, no.

>>725349102
Buy more RAM. For once I'm not calling you poor, this game really gobbles up RAM. As for why, I presume they kinda rushed the development when they realized that Simcity 2013 was shit and so we are here, nothing would solve it besides brute force or a complete remake, since some things like number of building limit are hardcoded into the game.

And the second is even worse!

>>725324930 (OP)
The only rule you need to know is MOAR LANES.
Just.
Keep.
Adding.
Lanes.

>>725353541
>>725355712
No amount of mods will fix the traffic AI, it needs to be redone completely.

>>725356729
make everything a controlled-access freeway with no signalled intersections, problem solved.

>>725349502
Reminds me of IRL where my town tried to build a pedestrian path for kids going to school because they had to pedal their way to school on the main road with tons of trucks going past. One old cranky grandpa fought the motion with lawsuits for 12 years until it was finally built. His reason was because excavators would temporarily ruin the view (to the road) from his backyard.

So in city builder games if populace get inexplicably angry over you building new shit, thats not a bug thats a feature. People in real life really are that petty and retarded.

>>725358270
even small scale, volunteering on an apartment complex committee. Most people are shortsided angry retards who won't do the bare minimum to improve their life until they seethe with rage in a bitch ass letter to everyone else in the building.

>>725324930 (OP)
Genuinely copy shit from your own city that looks cool. It's been a studied phenomena and traffic just happens. It just. Fucking. Happens. People slow down because distracted, people race up because impatient only to over-correct because grrrrr judging speed and distance at 50 mph requires even faster reaction times and most people don't want to die. You can also just experiment. No one will actually die if your roads are kindergarten tier stuff or if you 'solve traffic.' It's a game bro. Just do it.

>>725355430
I have seen chinese road monstrosities like this

>>725358892
traffic is caused by chokepoints. two people trying to go into the same parking space, scaled up and out. "just add a lane" doesn't work because rarely is the chokepoint on the highway itself; usually it's on one of the exits or entrances to said freeway. If anything, adding lanes exacerbates the problem because it delivers more people to the choke points. You'd be surprised just how many civil engineers fundamentally fail to understand what I just described. I bet a good plumber would do a better job of designing highway infrastructure than someone who actually went to school for civil engineering.

>>725359923
Traffic is caused by your 80 year old grandma trying to go get some chicken for this weekend's dinner and will NOT drive over 35 miles per hour. But she does use her turn signal so, good job.
