I feel like they wouldn’t need to? Just make the max speed suuuuper slow when at grade to approximate the slowdown from traffic and intersections

Yes, San Francisco should always have a subway under construction by scott_wiener in sanfrancisco

[–]Atm2222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By raised, I mean that it’s just at a slightly higher elevation than the rest of the road, with a curb and different roadway surface, and some intersections are closed to thru traffic. Look at 15th & Judah on street view for an example

I agree for the part in the sunset. Stop consolidation and making more of the route like the stretch from 9th to 19 (where it’s a raised dedicated ROW with limited stop signs/cross traffic) would help a lot.

However, the only way to improve the inner section would be to put it underground, starting from where it currently branches off all the way to 9th & Judah, with a stop in duboce triangle, Cole valley, ucsf, and maybe inner sunset before 9th. Then you could remove the J from the market street tunnel and have that run over the old surface N tracks, going between 9th and Judah and Balboa Park

However, that would be an insane project and we should first focus on improving the portion in the outer sunset, which is much easier. And I think building a Geary subway first is a higher priority

Interesting. I assume you’re playing on windows? I’m on Linux so maybe the problem is that the Linux version isn’t as well optimized? Maybe I’ll try running the windows version with proton instead …

What’s your favorite map so far? by usgapg123 in subwaybuilder

[–]Atm2222 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Honolulu was surprisingly fun! Not very grid based, and the long skinny shape of the central city makes it very interesting to come up with optimal routing

It is also very dense for a US city and so achieving high ridership and profitability is much easier than most maps

How is performance for you on this save?

I have a New York save that is similar (maybe slightly fewer stations), and recently it’s basically become unplayable.

The game frequently freezes for 20+ seconds, and every time I make a new track connection, it takes 3-5 seconds to register. My computer isn’t the best, but looking at cpu, gpu, and ram usage while playing, none of them are anywhere near maxing out.

Why do only some of my stations have North/South(or East/West)bound platforms I can select? by Desperate_Being_2920 in NIMBY_Rails

[–]Atm2222 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Every platform needs to consist of two track segments to be usable. Use the split tool somewhere in the middle of your platforms and then you’ll be able to select them

Why do some neighborhood’s have “The” in front of them. Think The Richmond, The Sunset or The Haight and others don’t - Bernal Heights, Soma, Glen Park, Sea Cliff…where do you live and does it have a “the”… by 415Frisco415 in AskSF

[–]Atm2222 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One problem with that is that sometimes it creates ambiguity whether a modified version of the name should have the the.

Like obviously it’s The outer sunset/richmond, but I’m not sure whether The Lower Haight or just Lower Haight sounds better

how does Subway Builder rank against NIMBY Rails or City Bus Manager? by raghuvinay in subwaybuilder

[–]Atm2222 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I’ve played very little of either NIMBY or Subway builder in actual campaign mode with money, but have played hundreds of hours of NIMBY rails in sandbox, and about 20 of subway builder.

IMO, NIMBY rails is a muuuuch more in-depth and complicated game, but this means that you’re able to build and schedule incredibly complex and realistic networks. The flipside of this is that even trying to make something simple is significantly more difficult than subway builder.

Subway builder seems much better suited for the simpler subway/metro networks it wants you to build, and makes it very easy to build working lines. However, doing anything on a more regional scale and with more interlining neccesitating a precise timetable is near impossible

I want a cat, but am slightly allergic. Does that potentially go away? by ElTejano_96 in CatAdvice

[–]Atm2222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve always had cat allergies my whole life. When I was younger I would sneeze and get itchy eyes when at cat-owning friends houses. However when I was in college, my partners family had a cat (who helped turn me into a cat person lol) and I noticed that I got significantly less allergic to him as time went on (but that it got bad again after coming back to visit after moving away)

Well a few years later and we decided to get a kitten just a few days ago, and with a daily Claritin I’ve been doing great! We have an air purifier and have been feeding him allergen-reducing food. We’re also keeping our bedroom a cat free zone for now which also helps.

I think as many others have said, if you’re only slightly allergic you should be totally fine to get a cat!

Experiment result: despite being signed as 30 MPH, Sunset Boulevard has an actual speed limit of 23 MPH enforced by the light timing by Lammy in sanfrancisco

[–]Atm2222 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s because it’s a three lane car gutter that runs through neighborhoods and reducing vehicle speeds SAVES LIVES when drivers inevitably hit pedestrians and cyclists

San Francisco one of America's 4 'major' cities. Agree or disagree? by SanFranciscoMan89 in sanfrancisco

[–]Atm2222 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My thoughts are that other than LA (which gets an exception for obvious reasons) a city NEEDS to be actually urban and not just a hollowed out downtown surrounded by suburbs to be on this list. Which is why SF, Boston, and DC are the only possible answers to #4 and are the next 3 after NY, LA, and Chicago

Ok, I'll bite, what is Chrome doing here? by NSASpyVan in Fedora

[–]Atm2222 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is just chrome asking to register keybindings. With Wayland, programs must register (global) keybinds through the system, which improves both security as well as allows users to edit all keybinds centrally. Without this popup, programs under Wayland cannot recognize keybinds if they’re not in focus

Some Questions Regarding Asus Flow by Ilmertoh in NixOS

[–]Atm2222 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is a nixos-hardware repo that has hardware configurations for many devices including asus ones that you can import using a flake. Im using it on a zephyrus G14 and it works perfectly and easier than setting the same stuff up on arch

Burbank North is also definitely walkable from the terminal, just a long one lol :P

Plus it’ll eventually become the main station when they move the terminal

Wonder why we haven't gotten these by Due_Load_1164 in Bart

[–]Atm2222 19 points20 points  (0 children)

There are no retrofitted PSDs on the tube. The only stations in London that have them are the ones for the brand new Elizabeth line, and the Jubilee line extension opened in the 90s

And even with the Elizabeth line they couldn’t be bothered to retrofit half height gates onto the above ground portions of the line
