Have really started digging into making our city proper nice. Have rebuilt some areas, have terraformed some proper mountains and made drastic changes as I've learned more from watching biffa and what some of the awesome mods do.

Move it. Undo it. Tp:me. Elektrix. (bunch of options around nodes) The fine road and props stuff, anarchy stuff and roundabout maker and the world is your oyster.

Pics in coming.

Oh game changer. Should have thought of it months ago.

Just made a blank park. With prop anarchy it means you can do custom parks to suit area Nd terrain and still get the happiness boost.

Also, maxed out the tree budget. Had to delete en mass off map.

OMG. trees can be planted like roads and there's also a circle option for trees and props. Some of the gardens I just made.

Broke hearse pick ups with a mod. Had 370 dead bodies. Lol. Sorted now.

Industries is a great expansion btw, makes industry much better looking and has interesting mechanics. Not one to dive into without some experience though.

Yes, and more. It's got some issues. When placing buildings, sorting the view is a pain. Seeing what part of the process you're at is tricky. But man, you can make massive proper farms with different crops and fences and stuff.

There's different buildings for different stuff, different sizes and you actively place buildings, not just zone.

Active management of supply and demand too.

I nearly loaded this earlier. It's installed, and I had it there in Steam. But I'm too midway through everything else, and don't want to play it half-heartedly. Closing stages of Splasher and Talos though... we'll get there...

Realised I didn't add the pic of the farming.

Csl map view is complete nerd shit. I could print an actual physical map of city. And I will. Great for lots of things. Especially as we're about to do a crazy revision of our industries.

Do you know what the issue is?

Pics will come, but have added substantially to city again. 154k pop. In full get it just so mode, so am using all sorts of stuff to get things how we want them.

Still discovering new things and learning more and more about how to use things.

- have tree paint brush working now. It's insanely awesome and powerful. Allows you to just cover areas so easily. (even easier than using move it mod.)

- placed my first modular building. 3 seperate buildings requiring 3 roads on correct spacing, road anarchy on and then a bit of move it. Awesome u shaped highschool that sits on a 70 degree angle corner.

- finally found how to quick assign lanes in tm:pe. Ctrl + s. Thank god.

Have built an awesome town on an island. No cars and ferry access only. Worked out how to use find it mod to place grow able buildings but keep them from changing when they level up.

Using infinite oil and ore now so we don't have to keep rearranging and moving industry.

Also using a mod that lets you control zoning demand. Brilliant. Not a good mod to use early in a game, but once you're rolling in cash and space it's great.

Theme mixer is amazing. Gotta work out how to save and properly use, but man, it already improves so much. Also, realised i can crank resolution for pics and still move cam as long as game is paused, framerate issues don't matter. 

(Behind spoilers for the sake of the page load)

Oh, and keymapping wasn't as complete as it could be, so there's a shortcut mod that let's you keymap however you want. of course.

New laptop runs this noticeably better, but it is hilarious how intensive this is.

Other games have had a massive bump, this I'm still not able to really ramp up without some hits.

It might even stretch ds's monster rig.

Still not getting performance like these guys do.

Pretty cool stuff. 12 youtubers who make city building vids working on one city. Infinite cash on. Pure aesthetics. You get to see the ridic work people put in with move it mod and decals.

Oh man, ep 10 just finished. Malaysian dude just did international airport. Mental. Based on Birmingham. The shit he does.

Would love to see someone work on the ai and try and get the city legit functioning.

Cars levitating through buildings is starting to be glaring in these vids.
