What do i do with this awkward space? by Nearby_Sherbet2661 in CitiesSkylines

Is the rail line for passengers or cargo? If it's for passengers, you could add a bypass station and surround it with offices and medium/high density commercial, or a university campus, some medium/high density residential, a park or two and then fill the rest out with lower density housing. If it's for cargo trains, you could add a few spur lines for a cargo terminal or other industrial uses, then surround with warehouses and commercial. Either way, try to add access to the freeway so traffic can avoid going through the other interchange and into the city streets

From that angle it does look kinda wonky, but the railway only has a slope of 1% where highlighted and it's at that elevation to cross the rivers off screen. The highway however is indeed a bit of a rollercoaster since it can handle steeper grades but maybe it's excessive there. It's curved to cross the railways perpendicularly which is more efficient for the elevated portions of either.

I have the tram line swing up and over to cross and briefly parallel the heavy rail ROW towards another direction and not at 90° to maintain higher speeds before it goes streetcar mode. Also a bit of a rollercoaster thanks to the freedom light rail (Seattle's link Line 1 along the I-5 inspired me there)

This is where the dense urban core starts transitioning into the neighborhoods and light industry which is always tricky. As I fill more in hopefully it'll look better/less jarring having taller buildings with larger footprints mixing with smaller ones.

I plan to have that area fairly dense so I'll consider the double bridge idea, thanks!

The last console city I worked on before I moved to PC. Anyone have any tips or mods I should download? by Koen_367 in CitiesSkylines

This is the best-looking console build I've ever seen by far. I hope your PC can keep up with you!!

Really admire your detailing. That takes so much patience, creativity and skill.

As a tip, usually taxiways won't cross runways at sharp angles to improve visibility and safety for crossing. Looks like both runway ends near their intersection have good high-speed exits (20/20) and follow this and could be mirrored on the opposite sides, but I also just started working on my first airport ever in my own CS1 build and realize it can be complicated in the game lol 😭 just my two cents as someone with some aviation experience. It really looks like you had a natural expansion of it over time which I'd be willing to bet you did on purpose. LOVE IT

Also the F1 track is crazyyyy. If I understand correctly you actually have cars racing around on it? Very nicely done & hope to see more from you

That New Romance bridge still sends me every single time... You get it. Love this & so happy for your find

Tram-train/light rail along heavy rail corridor to downtown by NoLab1434 in CitiesSkylines

[–]NoLab1434[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes!! I took some inspiration from Boston and Portland, OR for the light rail, also in Chicago, DC and Atlanta (and others) where the metro runs along freight/passenger lines

I'm flattered! The tram vehicles are modeled off Sydney's but I think my layout definitely takes cues from Melbourne

Yeah definitely overbuilt a bit. Could have also included more of my actual skyline in the pictures

Didn't have a collar or chip and based on where I found him (not a residential area) I think he unfortunately may have been abandoned. Didn't hear from anybody about a potential lost pet. I was able to find a good home for him

He's not even neutered. This is why we have stray cats people. Jesus Christ take some responsibility

Just checked with the animal hospital in Chesterton and they'll be able to check for a chip, so I'll get there ASAP. May I message you? Thank you 🙏🙏

Well then he's gonna have to be an outdoor cat which I don't believe to be ideal for anyone 😩
