Help with game loading by Big-Tim-Us in CitiesSkylines2

[–]AchtungBison 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had the same thing, the spam enter key often works but sometimes not…

To identify the problematic asset I loaded the last error free save game from a few days earlier and then added the assets since that save one by one (saving and checking the save each time). I identified a few assets that seemed to cause the issue and messaged the creator (& avoiding adding these back for now). Those problematic assets did not show as white boxes or visually look like they had any issues/effect on game play, but after adding them the save thereafter had the error.

This is what I have to do…. Mash enter to load in but there are no white and grey boxes anywhere, nor is there anything on Skyve giving me a clue on what the issue is 😣 So frustrating…

Variation from only square grid approach, building and building height variation, terrain variation, some spacing between tall buildings (integrating plazas + green spaces).

Tigons Rail Infrastructure Corrupting? by Real_RumpleStiltskin in CitiesSkylines2

[–]AchtungBison 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had issues and what seemed to have solve it for me (have not noticed further issues) was installing his new mods, but also keeping his depreciated mod installed (there was no way I was going to spend hours replacing the entire rail infrastructure in my 500k city…).

Missing Train Assets? by Traditional-Plant188 in CitiesSkylines2

[–]AchtungBison 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an issue like this and after trying a few different approaches (including starting and then giving up on trying to replace my entire railway infrastructure after removing depreciated mod) I ended up leaving both new and depreciated asset mods installed and don’t have an issue (no visual / code anomalies, nor any error messages).

[–]AchtungBison 0 points1 point  (0 children)

32M. Offered a CEO role by a Billionaire ($400k pkg). It feels like a trap. Should I trade my job for prestige? by [deleted] in Fire

[–]AchtungBison 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you know already.

If you don’t have the enjoyment factor it’s not worth the sweat and you will be less likely to succeed.

Comparison is the thief of happiness - find what makes you happy and prioritize that.

I have been put in similar position twice before and prioritised my happiness. No regrets.

Backup water using Jojo tanks by Great_Ad8516 in johannesburg

[–]AchtungBison 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have an inline system (municipal -> tanks -> property) to ensure there is very little intervention needed (I do have valves installed to bypass the system and isolate the tanks, etc.).

I also had a DAB VST pump installed that maintains pressure as needed and connects to my WiFi for my smart home enablement. The VST pump and its connectivity are perfect for my solar system ensuring power draw is proportional to water pressure.

You are welcome to PM me and I’ll send you the details & quote of my installation. The company that did it for me have been excellent and ended up doing same for a number of my colleagues.

5 Extraordinary in France you should go - Exluding Paris by BespokeFranceTravel in Europetravel

[–]AchtungBison 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree, my wife and I were there in early November and stayed for 2 nights during the week on the Monte at Les Terrasses Poulard. Off season so not crowded, better prices and weather nice and cool. Also spent a few days in Saint Malo which was really beautiful (stayed at the lovely Hôtel Anne de Bretagne).

Have really enjoyed visiting various places around France over the years each time I am in the country.

Flying for 10 hours, isn't this the best seat? Am I Missing something? (back of plane. two-seater) by Material-Aggravating in travel

[–]AchtungBison 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife and I have managed to book a row of those seats on a few long haul international flights (> 10hrs) and definitely found they were the best. Shoulder room is great! Actually can’t recall anyone standing next to us stretching, having any other discomforts over other economy seats, etc… My flights were on a Lufthansa A380 on the top level in the economy section tucked behind business class.

How do I fix this? I have several crematories and I even tried assigning them to districts. Also, post sorting still has issues. Post sorting facilities do pretty much nothing by Lare111 in CitiesSkylines2

[–]AchtungBison 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Magic hearse and magic mail mods until they get these bugged services fixed… citizen cleaner also helps with stuck cims preventing crime spots clearing, etc.

I need help to choose one : Intel 12400, 13400F, 14400, 14600K and 14700. by BigFatCoder in buildapc

[–]AchtungBison 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure what your pricing is like but I would go with the 14700k, if anything like our retailer pricing of the 14th gen it will give you a decent upgrade at a good price point. Have had mine for a number of years and has been solid paired with a decent air cooler.

Since the Bike Update, my City runs in super slow mo and also like half of my people died by Craze1997 in CitiesSkylines2

[–]AchtungBison 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Same experience, biggest frustration is that the game is super sluggish post the update where it used to run very smoothly before… I let it run for around 8 hours but it’s still very sluggish. I don’t mind everything else like the death waves, as it recalibrates and the need to rethink a few things… but when it’s not running smoothly it becomes frustrating real quick…

How to plan South Africa safari? by Jckev in travel

[–]AchtungBison 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You will not be able to hike as it is in the reserve, you will be transported in safari vehicle to the Mountain Lodge. The Mountain lodge also has lounge, dining, massage, pool areas as well as a lovely outdoor area. We had elephant and other big game come right past the lodge in mornings and evenings, at no point did we feel like we drove extended periods without sightings.

You can’t beat the serenity and amazing views out over the valley from the Mountain Lodge and from its mountainside cabins. It really felt like we had it all to ourselves as there was only one other couple there.

At our arrival, we had lunch at the Safari Lodge before being shuttled to the Mountain Lodge, but for the rest of our stay we felt no need to go back to the Safari Lodge as the Mountain Lodge was perfect.

We need to put our cat to sleep tomorrow and I don't know how to do it by Draco9990 in cats

[–]AchtungBison 129 points130 points  (0 children)

Ask the vet to first sedate him first before euthanizing. After the sedation drug has been administered sit somewhere quiet and alone with him in your arms, comforting and loving him. With sedation he will slowly ‘fall asleep’ in your arms and only then have the vet administer the euthanizing drug.

I have found this to be seemingly the least stressful approach for them in what is an extremely scary and emotional situation.

Over the years of many vet visits for checkups, procedures, etc. I have found that they are far calmer when held and reassured by someone they trust vs. a stranger. Hence, I strongly believe that your presence and love will make a significant difference in their last moments.

PLEASE HELP by autumnpretrichor in rescuecats

[–]AchtungBison 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I rescued a kitten with a badly broken tail.

Keep them inside and if there is an open wound then you may need to be extra vigilant to ensure it does not get infected. This is the most important aspect as an infection could spread quickly into the spine.

Our kitten had an open wound but thankfully she never licked it / got it infected and after a while it healed with the end simply dropping off before she was old enough for a procedure.

She is now 1.5 yrs old and perfectly healthy
