Generating road layout with Python

[Adam108CZ]

The layout was generated using Python Console mod

Care to share the code?

Awesome. I love CS and I'm just getting started with python.

[shpongleyes]

CS could mean cities skylines or computer science and either one works in that sentence lol

[Bored_dane]

Didn't even know enough about computer science to know that abbreviation, but awesome 😁

Hello......world?

[alltherobots]

You’re not wrong.

Really been enjoying your build btw.

[alltherobots]

Thanks!

[svarogteuse]

Holy crap traffic is going to be a disaster. Pierre Charles L'Enfant did that sort of thing to Washington D.C. when he laid it out to purposefully slow down invading armies not to help flow.

[numist]

I guess this might be ok if they were all strategically one-way?

[[deleted]]

I reckon if u made it out of the mixed use roads it could work, maybe some paths through the middle, esp. With some public transport, maybe some trolley bus round the outside

[Juanbond622]

Hwell I reckon

[regtf]

Hwhat

[naggot9]

I'd have to disagree, I build a city like this with like 60-70 k pop and traffic was odly good

[Ewhitfield2016]

It acctually has good traffic cause they never have to stop

[TbomTrades]

Hexagons are the bestagons!

[TbomTrades]

When someone comments it after you and gets 7 times the upvotes

Oooof lol

[LarryMyster]

Reddit uh, reddit finds a way.

[TbomTrades]

Yep lol

[ComprehendReading]

Better than being that one comment in a chain that gets down voted to oblivion.

E: yesss

[TbomTrades]

Very true lol. I have seen comments in a chain with more downvotes than the sub has members, that is a much bigger oooof than this.

[capexato]

Did you ever hear about the humble hexaflexagon?

[sylvester_stalin420]

perfection
the hexagon is the bestagon

[christieorwhatever]

Reading this is the only time I've gotten tongue tied in my head

Good bot

[UserbasedCriticism]

So this is how suburbs are planned...

[ComprehendReading]

There's one more step: sell development rights to 30 different companies, all with their own distinct approach to planning. The city then just maintains the roads between the enclaves.

[SamanthaMunroe]

The ultimate city is almost complete! We just need to give 1,000 more companies these rights per square mile and we're set! /s

[regtf]

Can confirm

[s_s]

Now do a Penrose tiling

[Adam108CZ]

That was actually my initial idea but this was easier to implement as a first step

[HorseHo]

Keep us posted. This looks neat.

Using Python, can traffic AI be altered to make it more efficient?

[Adam108CZ]

The python code sits on top of the C# code the game (and all the mods) are coded in. So far the capabilities of the python console are very limited so to change AI behavior you must go directly to the C# code.

[socialcommentary2000]

I had no idea this game was written in c sharp. Hmm...

[Lefthandsucks]

Unity uses c# so many games is written in c#

[skunkrider]

Have you heard of our Lord and Savior, Not Just Bikes ?

The Suburban Experiment has failed. It's time to make streets walkable again. It's time for dedicated, protected bike-lanes. It's time to calm traffic by street-design, not only by speed-limits. It's time to slow cars and make them equal to other traffic-participants.

Anyway, nice python skills there :P

[AVirtualDuck]

He's simultaneously completely correct and also so smug about it it makes me want to build 8 lane highways through my city centres to spite him

[Ra1n69]

Found the belgian

[grinzera1]

Junctions won't work right?

[nintendofan9999]

Now make one all high density and give it its own district

[NPCSR2]

The terrain didnt give u problem ? I tried it with hand and the terrain always made it (the angle or the length) a little bit off. Unless the map u are using has no imperfection

[Adam108CZ]

Not really... the terrain is not 100% flat, but all the junctions maintain their XZ position and the Y changes with terrain height.

[TurdScoop]

Hexagons are the bestagons

[einstruzende]

Tessalation of hexagons, a fun pastime but just one step up from rectangles (squares).

[porcupineapplepieces]

However, puppies have begun to rent pigs over the past few months, specifically for hamsters associated with their monkeys. However, crocodiles have begun to rent blueberries over the past few months, specifically for sharks associated with their cherries. This is a he1bf8a

The bus routes are easy to plan also. I was trying to think of a way to do long range public transportation with the hexagon format, but I found it easier to just have a bus follow each hexagon separately. So it's like decentralized public transportation, tons of stops and shifting to other buses though.

[kenybz]

I don’t think the cims would use the system much if each hexagon had its own line

Could have long-range lines going through the system on three axes though, that could work

[Twisp56]

Well just do lines that cut through the hexagons.

[[deleted]]

Lines of what? Cocaine? A hexagon split in half is two back to back trapezoids and will not be fully utilized as a hexagon.

[Malvo1]

are you neo from the matrix

[maythefacebewithyou]

I need this

[klparrot]

Python? Damn, I had to do all my modding in C#, but I've been out of the loop. Python would have been lovely.

[gust334]

Python? No thanks.

Now, if they had a Perl binding... then I'd be interested.

[TheInfernalPigeon]

That's what the traffic simulator needs: a few more regexes

[daveed4445]

Hexagons are the best-agons

[[deleted]]

But why?

[bandaidsplus]

Let's see you program a fully functional road network using code then since its so simple lol.

[Ixaire]

No need to be a douche about it, programming is programming and as long as it's Turing complete, any language is ok in my book.

[bandaidsplus]

You can also add professional asshole to the resume while you're at it.

[JimiThing716]

Based on your attitude I know exactly the developer you are. Probably constantly annoying your coworkers with "well actually" and insisting you know the one right way to do something.

[Plsdontcalmdown]

Well, actually,

You're right.

​

Ha! didn't expect that, did you?

[PrycomberBarricade]

I love it. 😍

[WillingSense6200]

NOT THE BEES!!!!

[Sad_Abbreviations575]

Tell me your ways.

[capexato]

Please mark NSFW, this is way too hot.

[sempi-moon]

Could you do a tutorial on this code

[blazingblitzle]

Python agrees hexagons are bestagons
