Simcity RH Game 4

[Kassiopeia]

Installed the plugins and started up. Everything was going peachy, even the chute thingee works, but then as I started laying down zones...

[Blake]

The road network is actually attached to jobs, right? No-car zot is also shown if no jobs (civic building, industry/comm zone) are present on the road network. The no-job zot is shown when there are jobs present, but not enough.

[Kassiopeia]

Oh. I thought the briefcase with a red slash over it was the universal no jobs indicator. I'll plop down some I and C and we'll see.

[Lemmy]

Briefcase shows up if there are no available jobs in its network.
No-road thingie shows up if there no job at all on its network.

Ive built a car and passanger ferry, and a connection or two to some of my small neighbours

I'll upload the save tommorow.

I'm playing nearly 100% clean, no dirty industry *at all* *ever*, full edjumaction and health, only renewable power, a farmers market (for the health benefits). It's paying off so far, by the end of '04 I had 2 Kane Tiberiums and a high tech patch of grass =).

My budget will be harder to balance than last game, without cheap dirty power, tolls, trash burner etc. I'll partly be relying on I.ag taxes & transit income for disposable income, I expect my bus network will be making a profit by the time I have 10K pop.

Helin City '05 uploaded

R 16.8k
C 2.1k

Named in honour of my most successful SC2k city.

I started out with a network of avenues and roads. The large hill in the northern part of the city will act as a buffer between the heavy pollution industrial area in the west and the residential area in the east.

I've also now learned to not make tight squares without any space at all - now I have lots of trees and space in between streets and houses, so I can plop down more stuff in the future.

My plan is to develop a high-wealth city, as opposed to my previous one which was all medium-wealth. I also want the city to look a bit more natural as opposed to the fully packed grids I had earlier; and I want a more fluid transit system. That in mind, I have left enough space around the avenues so that they can be replaced by highways when there's funding. (Or maybe a monorail...?)

I've also played Yukuhashi-Kanda to 2050 and am pretty much done with it, I'll upload it later on.

So is that a no on the other transit patches then?

[snoopy369]

I guess not. Stick with the plugin set (last game's PLUS garbage chute) linked on page one ... and use LHdrivers plugin if you are a left handed driving country (or your software is from one such.)

Three Cities

I built an island from scratch in the southern half of my map, which I plan to fill with industry (for now; eventually I hope for it to be a good mix of skyscrapers, high-density res, and manufacturing/HT). It's connected to the small island by an elevated rail bridge as well as with a ferry terminal. The small island is almost completely covered in residential, with a little bit of commercial. I haven't touched to corner of the big island that I have, yet, but I want to put HT there eventually. I chose elevated rail so I can integrate it with a subway system later if I want to.

I accidentally uploaded the .sc4 instead of the .rar. How do I remove it?

[Lemmy]

Upload the .rar and enter the same year. The .sc4 will be removed then.

[Kassiopeia]

Standard rar'ing only shaves off a few hundred kb, if bandwidth is a-plenty it shouldn't be an issue.

[Kuciwalker]

I loaded up the other cities and looked at the transit map, and it doesn't show ferry lines running across empty tiles

[:) Smiley]

It doesn't - but the boats are able to cross them.
