nice city t.bh m8
>>121206841
Thanks family.
>>121206540
holy shit, I used to use the same exact pic for my steam.
I bought Cities: Skylines recently and I'm quite lost.
I mean, my first city went on without a problem, I actually quit because there was no challenge.
My second took a nosedive for reasons I'm not all that sure why.
So, I'll give this thread a bump, while I think of any questions to create any discussion
>>121208894
Probably traffic. Everything in that game is traffic.
>>121208894
Yes, most likely a bad traffic issue. Hard to diagnose entirely without a picture of your roads though.
Is everyone busy playing Anno?
>>121211560
Not me, don't have it. I'm just not good enough at any game to post anything.
>>121211560
I'm debating if I want to get it. But at the same time I kinda feel like getting the new call of duty instead because sometimes I just want some dumb multiplayer action and it looks decent enough since titanfall died ages ago. Especially since its 90 fucking dollars with the seasons pass if I want all the content. God damn fuck Harper this is all his fault for encouraging the retarded oil plan.
>>121208542

I also pirated it so I guess I can't take screenshots.
>>121212525
Green, NDP, and liberal are all fine in my book. I voted NDP because my riding is more ndp than liberal, and also because they were going to repeal bill c51, not amend it,I wish Jack Layton was still around. I mean, yah I can afford both but its the principle of getting fucked in the ass price wise and when our dollar goes up the price doesn't go down.
>>121211560
map?
>>121214018
I got it from the Workshop, I think it was based off Thailand. It was a temperate map so I got the heightmap from the map editor and made it into boreal.
>>121214347
Mind uping it to the workshop? Looks very nice
>>121215804
I don't want to put it on the Workshop cause I straight ripped the guys heightmap, but here's the file for it:

thanks senpai
is rimworld alright here? i can't figure out how to get this prisoner to stop being unconcious, pistol wound to the brain is her only health concern. do i just harvest her organs/kill her or is there some form of research i can do so i can do a surgery?
game is damn fun, especially because i miss dwarf fort but no longer have the patience to get back into anything too complicated in it. just a trial run to get used controls and management for now so my shit is horribly organized for now, can't wait to actually get into my next colony.

What are some city builders where I can manage a city that has to deal with winters. That had to be my favorite thing in banished was the winter and how comfy it was.
>>121222801
You can sell prisoners to pirate merchants, but I'm not sure if it works with injured ones.
so, how comfy is anno 2205? besides it not having:
>multiplayer
>random generated maps
anything else wrong with it?
>>121228597
Yeah, I can't find a decent torrent for it. Guess I'll wait a couple days and try again.
>>121228724
rarbg, codex release
>>121228597
ive got about 15 hours in it now, and it is pretty comfy. visuals are fantastic, the day/night cycle is really comfy, especially out in the artic at night.
my biggest complaints are the changes to the trading system as well as the inability to stockpile supplies. if you overproduce a building supply, you are just wasting money, you cant store a large quantity of it until you need it.
>>121229197
>stalls after 2MB
Yeah thanks. And don't say it's my settings because I downloaded Terminator Genisys in about 10 minutes.It's so fucking bad holy shit.
>>121229651
i am downloading as we speak, 72% currently
>>121228597
None of the challenge that characterised the Anno series. If you just want to sit around building cities and supply chains then you'll like it but if you're like me and enjoyed the competition then you're shit out of luck. The fixed coastal and mountain slots as well as lack of work fields also really irks me, it just isn't Anno without massive servings of building placement autism.
>>121229978
i agree on how much fixed placement of shit there is.
maybe im retarded but can you explain to me how trading with the global market works? Like I understand how to set up the trade route but i can't tell what my profit is going to be
>>121229978

I will download it for "free" and check if my concerns are valid.
Also i play with the idea to phone up the creative director and ask him some question about why the military system always sucks and is never really integrated into the main aspect of economy building and resource management.

downloaded codex edition, played it for about 3-4hours, it's basically anno: storymode, can't really get into it, someone is always reminding you that you have to do this, then to that, get this done... then, to continue you have to jump into another session to do some ship battles

i wonder if anno 2205 will be a massive DLC-oriented cash-cow for them, where they keep releasing parts that were removed?
Anno 2205: Mars, 39,99
Anno 2205: Neptune & Uranus, 24,99
Anno 2205: Naval & Space Trading/Warfare, 49.99
Anno 2205: Multiplayer & Sandbox mode 39.99
So the new Anno doesn't have a sandbox mode? Why the fuck would I want to play it then?
>>121236712
Story mode is basically sandbox mode with Navi telling you to HEY LISTEN every so often.

Why are the "output" factories like rice farms and fruit plantations production upgrades god tier but "input" factories like biopolymer factories and vitamin condensers and wind farm production upgrades completely garbage? The space they take up is not worth the cost late game I bet. Wind farms because of the overlap is alright but the boost is really kinda shit unless they removed the additional resource cost. Because I'm only getting 50% more juice for the full 8 cost in fruit.

So im back from 3h of Anno 2205. and its fucking boring everything is just a wait game now notthing to do you dont give a fuck how to build you citiy ervything can be build everywhere you ahve plenty of space notthing matters only you get bottle necks with stupid ressources you hzave to farm in battle or with mission it all feels like a prtty facebook game, im near tears fuck this cruel world.

Even Tropico forces you to kiss some foreign imperialist ass once in a while.
>fixed coastal and mountain building slots
>ability to move buildings
Now you don't even need a fucking plan anymore. Anything mountain or coastal is served up to you on a plate (the module upgrades don't even take extra space) and should you need more adjacent space to add modules on other buildings you can just move the building.
>service buildings just produce an amount of the service, no more service AOE anymore
Arcti forces you to build all buildings within a certain range of heat sources because muh heating requirements but normal service buildings can be placed in bumfuck nowhere and still work.
>>121253764
It's Hyperdimension Neptunia.
>>121251498
yeah, you have 3 biomes basically: the moon, temperate and arctic, they plan to get more shekels out of us by adding tundra and orbital biomes in the future as a dlc
the game itself is fine I think, I like how the heat management in the arctic works and the lunar stuff, though I also liked anno 2070 more then 1404, so people would likely accuse me of shit taste or something
>>121253936
why?
Anyone know how to switch interface locale to Korean in Cities: Skylines. It's not in the drop down menu but the game has a ko.locale in the files and other people in google searches seem to have it launch in Korean by mistake. Tried renaming that to en.locale too but that doesn't work. Any ideas?
So

Is this a new map?
Are your on and off ramps correct?

It was a new map yes treed a few times and my on and off ramps where correct I think, it should have let people in and out.
Is there a game like Banished or Tropico but centered around the Industrial Revolution?
>>121281848
I don't think so. I'm not very well versed in more obscure city builders, though. Maybe you can look through this list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:City-building_games
>>121275423

>>121289401
>Repostan something from a guy that helped me.
Yeah, there's not much out there about how to do balanced stats. It doesn't help that the default parks aren't as consistent as they could be, but a lot of people are looking for balanced parks.
Personally, since you're basically replacing the default "Park with Trees", I'd suggest scaling the stats from that. Rounding off, I get:
8 x 12
Construction Cost: 3,000
Maintenance Cost: 24
Entertainment Accumulation: 80
Electricity Consumption: 32
Garbage Accumulation: 4
8 x 5
Construction Cost: 1,250
Maintenance Cost: 10
Entertainment Accumulation: 33
Electricity Consumption: 13
Garbage Accumulation: 2
8 x 3
Construction Cost: 750
Maintenance Cost: 6
Entertainment Accumulation: 20
Electricity Consumption: 8
Garbage Accumulation: 1
Those figures all scale neatly, so e.g. a 8 x 9 would have those stats three times that of an 8 x 3, while giving you parks that are nicely balanced with the default game. Hope that makes sense.
The rest of the stats can be left as they are. Entertainment Radius of 400 is standard across all default parks.
Anyway, that's what I'd do; of course, it's up to you!

Ahh... I was excited for a minute there. I'd have loved trying recreating Silicon Valley
rimworld question
How does one treat a shattered bone? I have no option to heal or use medicine on the colonist.
shattered left radius to be exacti cut off the entire arm and replaced it with prosthetic but i am aware that body can naturally heal shit. unless ofcourse by shattered it means crumbs now instead of bones, which could easily spread infection in arm and need to be amputated anyway

>>121298987
you need mods for that
>>121299327
z axis mod when?
>>121299569
You mean Gnomoria?
>>121299182
Way she goes, boys.
>dat moment when you create a nice utility off ramp and loose focus on seeing how high of a population I can support on a new on/off ramp system that is based on what goes by neighboorhood
I like my utility off ramps so much more.

Cities Skylines and Hardcore History
Alexander Vs Hitler
10 hours into anno and just completed all the "main quests" and i honestly dont know how to feel
as a huge anno fan im a bit bummed out about this game, it feels like a lot got left out for DLCs
i want to like it, but have a hard time doing so
i love the concept of 3 different regions but i hate the faceless "competitors" and npcs
things dont feel as charming as they used to....
>there will never be a game that made building monuments fun like Pharaoh did
>there will never be a game with as much variety in housing types as Pharaoh
I like Anno 2205, but goddamn am I tired of building fucking skyscrapers.
>>121299958
It doesn't heal it for free you know
atleast I try to pick mods that are somewhat balanced
>>121300412
Fuck I love Pharaoh. OST is GOAT too.
>>121300412
Children of the nile is good. But nothing will be like sierra games : (
Anyone remember a game called 8th wonder of the world?
>>121300332
Adding a bit more lore to the competing megacorps and the Orbital Watch would have made a huge difference. Part of what made Anno 2070 appealing for me was the whole Eden-Tycoon conflict, and even though I don't believe in manmade global warming I felt it was a very good and fair treatment of both enviromentalism and industrialist ideologies. It was fun being the Captain Planet villain and quashing those pitiful treehuggers.
In this the conflict isn't all that compelling. If anything, I want to play as the rebellious moon colonies and build a glorious city on the moon, independent of the tyranny of Terra.

I've been playing anno 1404 for the past 3 days. I'm awful but getting better, last game I managed to get some nobles for the first time.
Any tips or things I might have missed? I just figured out how to use the strong box thing for trade so I don't have to manually have my ships sell shit. Considering it took me 3 days to learn that what else should I know?
How do I make money reliably and at what population should I have each upgrade?
>>121301357
Nice
A screenshot for your kindness
Anno 1404 started crashing to desktop for me. I heard it's got a memory leak that causes this. Best way to solve/delay?
done streaming?
>>121300957
>I don't believe in manmade global warming
That's because you don't have to believe in what is pretty much fact, right?:^)Seriously though, how do you explain the rapid sea level rise of the last ~150 years, then?
>>121301881
>How do I make money reliably
sell whatever your population/production doesn't need, e.g. excess materials. salt, charcoal, tools, iron, and wood for example are some things you'll typically have shit tons of that everyone will buy. if you have the honor check with the npcs for duty levies as well, they are nice.
control population advancement yourself and use manual ascension rights and trickle in nobles and patricians just enough to build their demands and trickle in more as your production gets better. plan ahead too because you're gonna need river slots, oriental materials, etc. so be prepared to open more routes.

*cough*
Why did I even need to build a bridge?
Is there any way to switch a city from unlimited money back to limited money?don't question why
>>121307127
Foot travel? Also roads are airborne routes to follow as roads lead to civilisations. Planes use them to navigate as do helicopters so no doubt flying cars would aswell.
Lower income people would likely still be driving on the road aswell.
Unless 2205 logic is retarded and they forgot all this.
>>121308058
There's no shame in playing with unlimited money, anon.
>>121308308
i started with unlimited money because I was starting with everything unlocked too.
now I want the satisfaction of saying "i just did a $4 million renovation of area X" or something like that
>>121304967
Thanks!
Should I play the campaign? I just realized that there was one and it seems like shit I already know now.
>>121310006
up to to you. it teaches you the basics of the game and the military aspect, but it seems like you already know what you're doing. but just make sure you know the finer points like attainments and researching items and socketing them to your main warehouse(s) and ships. if you have the venice expansion things like council seats and takeovers are worth looking into as well.
>>121308308
>turned off unlimited money

Damn bro you gotta check your reaction image privilege or something.
>>121311406
>that reference card
Damn is that nice and handy. I don't need it anymore, but fuck it'd have saved me trouble back in the day.
>>121311513
Indeed. I found it in the GOG files for the game and thought it was neat. This was page 2 in the PDF, except I removed the text and a couple map markers because I liked the image alone.
tfw listened to this while doing it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MBypz1v5IPQ
>>121312120
Whoops posted that prematurely, still not done with the image.
>>121236269
Theres no sandbox mode?
Here's the Pharaoh map. Neat as fuuuuck.
>>121313196
Trade in that game was really fucking frustrating.
>oh, here's a city on the map with a list of trading goods that they'll buy and sell
>but you can't trade with them
SO WHY ARE THEY THERE????
Anyone have any advice on manufacturing luxury food in 2205? It seems like I'm always running a deficit, even with tons of production. It's taking up huuuge amounts of space.
>>121316445
Build a shitton of residences in the temperate sector. It shouldn't cost much to get enough food and water for them.
>>121316608
Well that's what I've been doing. But obvious more people = more demand for luxury food. Guess I'll just keep building wineries and cattle ranches
>>121316893
You could just buy another area and use it for resource production.
>>121316893
Nigga you don't upgrade them. Keep them as workers.
>>121317730
I own 8/9 plots on the map, with about half of them developed. Guess I can tap the other half.
>>121318251
>don't upgrade them
But my current objective is to get 150,000 investors and I only have 55,000. Besides, what does having a bunch of workers do that higher level people can't do better? They're tougher to keep happy, sure, but they're worth way, way more. Sorry if these are newb questions, im kinda new to anno.
Doing some streaming again.

Where's the cul-de-sac mod

anyone know what a "special corporation name" is?
Are these like cheats or something?

>>121326748
A game where you build and then get to explore a city on foot has always been one of my greatest dreams.
>>121326846
I wonder if it would be possible to make a comprehensive rpg mod for this game. Ploppable quest hubs/rpg related buildings, maybe give the game some type of actual driving physics. I have no idea how far mods are capable of going but I'm with you in that I would love to play that kind of game
Nothing special, just a peaceful webm.
Come to Funland!
