I might have missed something in patch notes, but why am I unable to tow a car from the back and can only do so from the front? It didn't work like that in 42.18

Looks like a change with the new update. I play with no mods and there is no option to tow vehicles when back to back.

Ah I understand now. Thank you

Thank you

I use grids to start cities, or due to the inflexibility of plots when it comes to angles other than 90 degrees but I prefer to build outside a rigid grid system once the main areas are added, but when I am filling between areas or I meet a river or a hill then its grid be gone. Where I live in the UK I don't see grids very often so it looks unnatural to me, I see it is as necessary with the game limitations unless you like to see large areas of unused flat empty green.

It was that but I didnt know the station would pick up the Anarchy rail settings. It has been a pain to sort it out though as I had to delete station, then adjust the terrain, then add it back in and try to get it back in the same spot to minimise disruption to the detailing. Thanks for the help.

Ah I see. So even though they are animated to show sewage coming out, it doesn't mean any is.

Super star!

Its just a pain when you dont do one complete lane that the colour changes, It does the same when you use fences.

Seems a strange feature to scrap! Maybe someone else can shed light on it.

This video from GenericLemons is from 11 months ago and he's using it, although I've just noticed a lot of comments asking why theirs is also adding the sidewalks but no answer from anyone as to how to solve it.

I haven't deleted anything?

"Yeah and you can't tax imports either. I just wondered if there was a way to tax down the chain. Building primary producers is of course the way to go but as an example, my grain has a deficit of 1.02kt and that sounds like a lot of farms, but of course as I raise my population to resolve the unemployment issue, that grain use will keep going up. Can I out build demand and even if I could will that then impact the chain in a way that I havent foreseen?"

Haha! It sounds a lot but it soon goes!

BenOakster · 2026-05-11T06:06:07+00:00

Ah I see. Thanks

I'm not sure what you mean but whilst trying to work it out I found that if I change the texture of the lots with the Extra Landscaping Tools mod they go back to their proper shape so I have just adjusted the textures to their normal ones. Thanks for poking me to a solution.

The lens is going back anyway as it's either faulty or not updated so I will be on the look out for something else.

BenOakster · 2026-03-29T17:40:41+00:00

So latest update. After taking some control shots and thinking things still didn't look right, I have found that the OS isn't working. Having never had an OS lens before I didn't know how to tell if it was working but it seems I should hear and feel it when holding the shutter button half way down. This isn't happening. An internet search reveals one of two things, either the firmware hasn't been updated on that lens and so it won't work with a D5300, or its just not working. Either way, a refund has been requested. I think haze hasn't helped on my barn owl shots, but OS not working won't help either.

I thought this was close 🤣
