Why is my immigration so low? It originally capped out at ~22k, then I taxed everyone out of the city and let it regrow, it got to ~25k before stopping again, at which point I demolished the only bridge out of the city. This seems to have stopped people from leaving, but I still get very few people entering.
What am I doing wrong, /cgb/?
>>120699675
The type of floor tile do have an impact on happiness. Not only that but in the latter game when your craters are good enough, you should replace every piece of furniture so that they are high q for an even bigger mood boost

No worries. I'm trying to keep both /cbg/ and /tg/ alive. I understand why /tg/ would die, but I'm seriously surprised with /cbg/. It's a game where the user's creativity is all that matters. It shouldn't die this often. All you have to do to keep the thread alive is post your city, which is the entire premise of the game. And it's not like we're lacking posters or anything like that.

What? What do you mean?
>>120773109
ty fam
>>120773239
remember how AI used to be on the same game map as you and you would compete for islands and therefore resources? it's just you in a "sector" now
basically, it's a really gimmicky way to expand the game world without much effort, as each sector runs co-currently to one another, but you need to swap between them which involves a loading screen
what's your city's dirty little secret?
>>120773452
>>120772958
In the previous Anno games AI was rudimentary so it outright cheated: if you took over AI's areas they did not have functioning road systems.

and yeah it is ugly and nonsensical, but then again the art direction of this game is obliviously visibly shit. ( really, though, ive always disliked the static comic-perky-disney render animation style they went with ) only now that theyve added afterdark and are leaning towards the old stylization of citiesxl im actually enjoying the style of the game.
>having women in workplaces
>ever
>>120798372
>whats the removal mod called?
No idea.
And as much as I hate to agree with you, Cities: Skylines art direction is shit. Everything looks like plasticine and has no soul. It's just so inoffensively generic.
>>120798540
> It's just so inoffensively generic.
the worst thing is that was obviously the direction, but they thought it would turn out nice.
i seriously enjoy having Quiet in MSGV just because shes a total fucking contrast to CS artdirection bullshit.
It is also good that since after dark very obviously uses old tricks from Cities XL to have night and day, they used its more realistic render and color correction.
I imagine Karoline sitting there all triggered because it wasn't plastic and innoffensive enough.

>>120758126
Different road types work just fine without mods. Key is not to overuse the larger roads and proper hierarchy. Highways with few interchanges feeding into 4 or 6 lane roads, which in turn have limited amount of intersections to 2 lane streets. This is not a hard rule. You might need to build some exceptional things for extreme traffic areas like industrial area entry points.
I usually connect only every third or second block to the large roads, it works really well.
One way roads are a trap, you really need to plan well to get any benefit from them. Roundabouts and industrial area traffic tridents are the best uses.
>>120797929
Damn that is one pretty city.

How do I feed this bitch? There is no option and I don't feel like wasting another 700$ for bull and a cow.
>>120816802
Doesn't it eat unprocessed food? I just put a stockpile with some random food in their zones
It's a cow, dude. Give it a pasture with grass or access to a stockpile with hay and it should be fine.
>>120817514
Nigga there is grass everywhere which is 102% grown in their pasture area.
>>120817485
Hmm, i will try giving them some potatoes as its all I got.
I figure they will need hay so have to grow it, but it's too late in fall now,

the shit pipes
>>120848979
what kills you anon?
A strategy to defend yourself better is to force enemys to walk over sandbags, they won't be able to shoot on them but you can still hit them, just make sure they cannot get in cover behind them
>>120848424

It's a warning to my enemies.
>caring about balance in a single player game
All it does is speed growth up by %20 (i think). You can only build the fields on soil though.

theres three defensive zones already built, working on the wall and next ones. im in the desert with barely enough materials in safe distance to be able to build that fast.ive cheated in some more powerful guns with the prep carefuly mods so the colonists survive, so far so good. only 2 random colonists who joined afterwards anyway died during attacks/spoiler]

I think it says something to the likes of: "You get additional duties for each trade agreement at your office because of the (Geleitzoll - something with customs, I'm not sure what)"
>>120847562
No one hype? I guess it'll be the same thing as every other Anno game, though. Muh supply chains.
>>120849404
its another refrigerator that also has a beacon in it
>>120850037
getting some good sniper rifles is also really good, since they have a bigger range than other weapons including mechanoids
>>120850178
you should try to put up a buffer room for your refrigerator rooms, since the temperature equalizes a little bit every time a door gets opened
thicker walls help too
>>120850040
Thanks, anon.
>>120850809
ya i got some snipers man.also gattling gun
and ill build the equalizer rooms soon, there wasnt much use for them as there are spaces unused or same as an equalizer room

Prepared food can only last so long before it spoils when not refrigerated but if you feel like you consume it fast enough, there shouldn't be a problem.
What to do with a cripple?
>>120853058
Strip him naked and put him in a heated cell.
