Anno 2205 is out. General consensus is that it's a departure from 2070 and 1404 and should be judged on its own merits, not necessarily as a continuation of that formula, but that even judged on its own merits it can be argued that it's lacking content and coherence. It's not irredeemable shit.

Does fine road heights work with precision engineering?
>>122128335
Yes.
What's up with the AI in this game? The cars randomly stop in the middle of a roundabout for about a fraction of a second and then proceed with their route. My traffic has gone to shit thanks to this. And I have noticed that it only happens in 2-lane roundabouts. 3-lane roundabouts (built with highways) don't have this problem.
>>122132678
Is there a light or stop sign or anything? You can fix traffics behavior with traffic manager.
>>122132678
AI a shit
>physically cannot play anno 2070 offline
that drm-free physical copy of 1404 gold that I picked up was a smart choice. Way more comfy anyway
>>122133090
Nope. THere's nothing of the sorts.
>>122132678
I don't know what caused it, but I've replaced the two-lane road with a highway and the problem has now disappeared.
>>122134373
Now replace them back and watch the magic happen.
>>122134373
I think it's the intersections. Cars will wait for an intersection to be empty before entering it.
>>122136613
Even when there were no cars in the intersection, they still stopped in the middle of the roundabout for no reason.

Can anybody explain how the Traffic Manager + AI workshop item actually works?
I've tried tweaking various things and I hardly ever actually notice a difference.
>>122145793
Don't touch traffic AI. Just install it and leave it there. You're only interested in traffic manager.
>>122146334
Ok for the context of this game what does the yellow diamond do
>>122146612
Are you serious?
>>122146683
I don't know either :<<<. I just assumed it was some kind of priority lane?
>>122146758
Yes.
>>122146853
... So they still have to stop, but will always go first?
>>122147074
You don't have a driving license, do you? If you have priority, you don't have to yield or stop. Those who have a yield sign (the inverted triangle) till have to stop to let the traffic on the main road flow. Those who have a stop sign will have to stop no matter what.
>>122147369
So why does the game still include a stop sign big guy
>>122147667
It might as well put an unicorn in the middle of the road, you stupid shit. If you set one road to yield to another, the cars will yield, not stop, not just drive in even if there's incoming traffic from the road with priority.
>>122147950
>>122148590
>I was merely pretending!

>>122124753
These were great. Thanks, anon.
You really make me want to try out custom textures now.
Going to finish my current map first, though.
I hope you post more in the future!
I just can't get into Skylines, it doesnt have the same aesthetic and "realism" feeling in its atmosphere and textures that SC4 has
What are some mods that make it look closer to SC4? Less cartoony and stuff.
>>122162884
I felt the same, to some extent.
Firstly, get a LUT that desaturates and adds a more realistic colour tone. Then, get a lot of custom growables and ploppables that are more unique. There are a lot of buildings and monuments in C:S that are silly and unrealistic. Same goes for interchanges etc.
The rest is up to you, really. Create a realistic city of your own within the paramaters of the game.
Good luck.
>starting a new city

>>122162357
Thanks. It's the first city I've been happy with in a long time. Nice highway, there's something aesthetic and satisfying about a good inner-city roadway

Why are there never terrorist attacks on interchanges?
It might not be massively deadly, but mother of fuck could a single well-planned attack disrupt an entire city for a long, long time. It shouldn't be that hard either.
How would /cbg/ cripple their city if they were a Snackbar.ASIO pls go.
>>122178872
cool, 'cause I'm trying to make some alcohol here, but farms are not productive enough and I have to bring some external supplies to make them good.
this is about to be a huge clusterfuck.
top part is the supplies/producing parts (it all starts with iron ore and coal, then metal and then supplies), bottom part is the alcohol producing part (farms of various kinds all feed into a single brewery, which will eventually produce alcohol).
right now i'm at the second to last step before connecting the two parts and starting to actually feed supplies to some of my farms

Hi there, fellow ausfag.

>>122179398
Interdasting.
>>122179541
>imblyign it is mine and not something i saved off of plebbit months ago
>>122175654
Townhall is very important, it helps a lot to keep track of your stocks and see if you're running a surplus or deficit. Chapel is nice to have but you could go a whole game without ever making use of one if you wish.
>>122180359
This.
Also bumping for Banished is comfy as fug.
>>122178136
Save it, it's all yours my friend :^)
>>122179541
I find one 3-lane road splitting into two 3-lane roads looks pretty ugly. I personally like to conserve lanes when I design an interchange. So a 3-lane would split to make 1x2-lane highway and 1x1-lane feeder.
Then, further down the stretch, the roads can merge/widen as necessary
Which anno do you guys like best? I've been playing 1503 for a bit again, pretty fun, and the music is pure nostalgia

>>122181450
rip
>>122181450
>preordering Ubishit
Tbh you deserved it.
>>122179572
here's how the top part works at the moment.
tram lines (yellow lines) all feed raw materials into a single train station (blue circle)
said materials are then moved by train (blue lines) to a steel mill (orange square).
the steel mill turns said raw materials into metal, which needs to be transported via train (orange line) to a machine shop, which is off screen.
some of the tram station were close enough to the steel mill, so they feed directly there instead of an intermediate train station (yellow lines to orange square).
the machine shop will eventually produce two kinds of finished products: farm supplies and engineering supplies.
the first will go to the farms in the other part of the network, so it will boost their production and will allow me to produce some goddamn alcohol; the second will go back to the coal and iron ore mines to achieve the same result (and close the loop on the metal production chain)
>>122156910

Grids. Remember that less intersections is better than more, but too few intersections will fuck up your traffic. Always make roundabouts out of highways and make them 8x8

>>122207827
Fuck if I know, it just looks cool :^)
did anno 2205 got perfected yet?
what's a good concept for houses?
Anno neat mods for Anno 2205 yet?
Anyone else disappointed by the European houses? It's not even the look, which can be modded, but the way they are build. If you don't build perfect squares they don't match and look like ass.
I always fail at this point of the game, there's lack of food and i dont know where i can get it
>>122219298
Don't build houses so fastand don't rely on farming.
>>122216729
Yes, me. I love to build ye olde European cities, but the way the buildings work it's nearly impossible to do anything other than right-angle grids - which is ridiculous, because ye olde European cities are the last places which should have right-angle grids.
Surely it can't be that hard to generate the rough shape of a building based on the cell footprint?
>>122219298
To cut a long story short, google how to set up efficient farms in Banished. I went from having 90% of my workforce in farming to having 100 surplus labourers.

I have been looking to play with that advanced industry chain setup for years
>>122269597
sure.
I am also playing with a patchpack, which allows for some more advanced difficulty settings and generally adds a lot of useful stuff. Definitely recommended.
Latest version has been just released, but it is still in beta, the last stable release is one year old and works wonderfully.
here's the link (scroll down the page to see all the details of the patches included)
http://www.tt-forums.net/viewtopic.php?t=66892
FIRS and a compatible vehicle pack (which are pretty much all of them, except for the stock ones) is all you need to play with those industry chains; the rest (including the patchpack) is completely optional.
Remember to set the parameters right before you start a game with FIRS.

Dear CBGfags
Was Skylines ever fixed, last time I played it was near release and the dev's really suck ass
fan mods were fixing things the dev's couldnt figure out
is the game now functional?
>>122275632
ie. lane usage, turning lanes, proper offramps
basic community services
also why do businesses employ like 6 people total
>>122275714
>>122275632
There are mods that have both fixed the traffic and given you options (roads and other infrastructure) on how to deal with it how you see fit.
You've been away for too long. The game has been playable, heck, enjoyable for more than 6 months.
>>122275632

>>122296218
I didn't get too far into it. Essentially, screw something at the start and you're fucked.
To build wooden doors you need to build a hand saw bench to make planks out of logs. Okay, seems reasonable. To make usable steel parts you need to first make a stonecutter bench, then, using stones made with it, a coal smelter (here you need to find some coal), and then you need an assembly bench to turn steel bars into steel parts.
As you can guess, assembly bench, saw bench and stonecutter bench require steel parts, so use your starting resources carefully.

Okay that is really cool and really stands above what SC4 could offer, fuck might have to get Skylines with all these crazy awesome new mod ideas that are finally possible now

Goddamn, making offramps from sunken highways is a pain in the ass.
>computer doesn't have the specs to run cities:skylines
I feel like I missed out big.
Is there any other city builder I can enjoy that is like sc4 or cities: skylines?
>>122297031
As a given with the Rimworld Hardcore mod, I now HAVE to start with wooden parts, spare parts, steel parts, electronic components, and integrated circuits so I can just bumrush right to a Comms Console. Because HOLY HELL is it near impossible to whip out integrated circuits on your own unless you get lucky during the crash landings.
>>122324167
Not sure if this autism is good or bad...
>>122324508
It definitely needs some adjustments in the production chain department. It takes 10 integrated electronics to make a single circuit from the electronic factory unit. Don't get me started on how much sand, wires, and copper parts it takes to get to that number.
Honestly I just savescum crash landings and hope for every type of ship debris that isn't a radiation-poisoning reactor or prisoner capsule. But if you manage to get a fair number of survivors and corresponding prosthetics to heal the limbless ones, the grind is not nearly as bad afterward. Unless they're minstrels... in which case harvest their fucking body parts for people with HELPFUL talents.
>>122325105
Thanks a lot man.
I looked it up, seems they don't update version on nexus or the forum, but they have newer one on their site. 2.3a: Solaris
>>122325405
Yeah, you gotta grab it off the Ludeon Forums since that's where all the updating is done. Your early game needs are gonna definitely require just constant grilling and shooting wildlife to satisfy food needs as well as stonecutting if you don't have a nearby mountain to mine into for shelter. Have at least two or three smelters going too, to make sure you have a copious supply of steel and copper bars. Same goes with assembling benches so you can whip out spare parts, steel/copper parts, and wood parts for your furniture needs. I usually just set the work orders to a minimum amount of each one.
Ever since I switched to Traffic Manager, Cities keeps crashing.
I dont have Skylines yet but one of my most hated things in city buiildan is traffic/road network management, is there a mod or any cheats that negate that entirely and basically there is no traffic at all in your city and the cars and trucks are just there for show or something, I dont know sounds dumb and casual
>>122337954
You sound dumb and casual.
>>122337954
I don't think Skylines is the game for you. As far as I can tell, traffic management is the main challenge in the game.
>>122340986
>I don't think Skylines is the game for you.
Just watch, I'm going to play it
and enjoy it
>>122337954
At that point just don't give a shit about traffic. The game is easy enough that you can stay in the green
>>122344286
Fuck that looks so nice, dem pedestrian walkways
>>122344286
Why not a train there?
would be nice
>>122344351
Thanks! People crossing the street really fucked my traffic with that road layout
>>122348906
Didn't use trains much in that city. I used subways and bus for the most part
>>122354894

So im thinking about getting Cities: Skylines but
i'm worried it will run shit, my specs are:
i3 2120
hd 7850
8gb ram
Anyone running similar ?
How can I fix this?
>>122359534
I'm using a laptop, HD7970M, i7 3610QM. My GPU is only slightly better than yours, CPU is better in general, but I can't disable hyperthreading. Since my cores are divided, yours might give better performance. I have no problems with 45k right now.
>>122361079Git gud.
>>122359534
>i5 4200
>8GB
>gt755m
It started to lag terribly around 80k, can't play it anymore because of it.
>>122361079
>>122361591
Cheers guys i'll pull the trigger
>>122219298
Only ever use farms to supplement your food supply. Gatherer huts are pretty much the only worthwhile way to go,

Its always the same answer: Create alternatives, remove large direct road, replace with two or three smaller roads that force traffic to disperse through the city.
>>122337954
The Anno series - specifically 2070 and 2205 - sound right up your alley.
>>122381550

turrets blowing up mostly killed them. the only casualty was guy too old to get in and tws but a scatch
It was themalaria of fighting half the colony during siege that killed it

>no challenge at all beyond bankrupting yourself by going full retard
>nobody to compete with for islands
>no more early game resource management anymore, everything in first tier uses only biopolymers which is the equivalent of using only wood and no tools
>not even fucking fertilities anymore
>combat is retarded, it's the only way to get useful module upgrades but you have to go to a separate sector and it's so easy 'select everything and rightclick anything that moves' wins you 100% of all fights
>you don't buy ships to fight with, you just get autoalllocated ships based on 'corporation level', that's right, no maintenance no need to gather resources to build your shit
>your losses don't even count, if your ship gets sunk it respawns at no cost if you exit, so if you fuck up a combat somehow you can just reset for free
>sectors are fucking annoying because you have to wait for them to load each time you move around
It's not even Anno anymore. If you just want to build shit then you might like it but every other important aspect and challenge was removed.
Necessary mods to enjoy Skylines? I want to build my own commie bloc
Obviously the commie bloc mod but what else?
I need to make a cloverleaf under the ground. But this happens. Wat do?
>>122385463
This seems to work. But it's still not what I want.
>>122344286
Walking when you could cycle.
No benches, lights nor trash bins also it's so windy up there.

How the fuck can I remove this fucking traffic light? I need to be able to see underground, but I can't do that whe I click on traffic manager.
>>122386279
>removing traffic lights
Literally cheating.
>>122386315
where do you live that every single road that touches a 4 lane one has a traffic signal?
Which area should I expand into next?

well that sucks, but I had no interest in combat, just trying to build comfy colonies on arctic permafrost, and the moon

>game has been out for months
>still can't into traffic
I'm suffering
Any thing I build seems to require the residents go 270 degrees around a roundabout to access it, how do I fix that? How does it work in real life?
>>122392829
what the fuck, man. What the fuck.
>>122392829
more circles
>>122393372
I don't even know anon, I make roads between where cars are coming from and where they seem to want to go but it never helps.
>>122393529
Okay, roundabout service exchange isn't that bad of an idea, sure. yours are just... special, you see.
Connect those six laners directly to those big roundabouts, maybe this will help a little.
I just... don't know what to tell you. You've fucked up. Terribly. Look at other people's cities and learn. Here, have my industrial district, it isn't perfect but maybe it will give you some idea.
What's a good intersection to handle the traffic of a four lane crossing a high way and cars going from said four lane to the highway
roads are obsolete concepts

>>122394270
I built a three-lane highway roundabout and it shat itself
>>122394413
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interchange_%28road%29#Service_interchange
Did you connect the roundabout directly to the highway or did you use ramps?
>>122392829
>he fell for the memeabouts
>>122394107
This thing's pretty cool. If you have Traffic Manager, you might want to add offramps for right turns.

Have you tried building more than one road connecting the two parts of your city?

just play anno 1404. It looks just as good and doesn't have all the stupid wank the later games added
