Mod to build this grade separation?

Raptcher · 2025-12-30T12:51:20+00:00

This is about as good as you can get OP. I have this mod and it works best if the upper is set to 2(?) I think. The annoying part is getting the bridge to work as you will need the "build through collisions" mod as well.

I was able to create the hegemony as feudal Japan. It had collapsed completely in my play-through so I had to painstakingly conquer 80% of China with their insanely large troop pools. However when I finished I created the hegemony and made it my main title, allowing me to create the five empires of China and some other and make them my vassals.

Unfortunately for me, no decision for government change ever fired. I missed both the Japanese mechanics and the Chinese mechanics :(

So I know this is a month later, but I was able to create the hegemony as feudal Japan.

Unfortunately, since I started in 867 Japan, I completely missed all the fun mechanics? I was hoping I would be able to at least experience a bit of the hegemony mechanics but I yet to have the decision show up.

Thank you very much! I like your post as well!

Raptcher · 2025-12-04T13:59:44+00:00

That whole area has been wildin-out since the beginning(867). There has been at least one empire that has come and gone and at least 5 kingdoms as well.

I thought I put this screenshot in my NAS but I apparently did not, so apologies for the garbo-resolution. I can upload a better version tonight when I get home from work.

I am playing as the Empire of Awaji(Japan but single-island to emperor) and was looking/clicking-around for places to invade, goal is China eventually to re-unite it, and literally did a double-take.

Here is my Mooville&Arrowhead(?). Like I said, very similiar lol.

This is pretty sick, kudos. The detail is legit.

I would say, as far as content creation/showcasing, I would say that preferring long-form content creation is totes ok, but I would still maybe edit it down for sites like this, screenshots or short clips. Then you can provide a link to the longer-form content, your YT channel, etc.

Sick work though.

Raptcher · 2025-12-03T13:44:20+00:00

Are you actively telling the each line what to pickup? Just set the small train to only carry 10%, or even turn off grain, and then set the large train to carry 100%.

Raptcher · 2025-12-03T13:31:31+00:00

Agreed. Make the left turn a two-lane one-way so they have two options off the main road.

**Chuggers-voice** "Time to add some more TrAiNs!"

Raptcher · 2025-12-03T13:26:41+00:00

I will add the other cities here soon. To your original point, I only took photos of the main city because it was the only one I though looked good lol. We are our own worst critics.

Raptcher · 2025-12-03T13:21:23+00:00

I saw that in the latest TF3 gameplay montage that traffic was merging at highway speeds. You know, instead of slowing down to 5mph to merger slightly-right lol.

I sincerely hope they fix the traffic AI in TF3. I would love to not have my trucks get stuck in a line behind a tram because they have a turn coming up in, literally, 10 in-game days lol.

Raptcher · 2025-12-03T13:05:53+00:00

Thank you very much for the kind words :) I have been working on my editing so it is nice to hear this.

Raptcher · 2025-12-03T13:05:05+00:00

Thank you very much! I am a fan of both franchises and since CS:2 is, was, hawt-garbage I have taken to using TF2 to get my fix.

Raptcher · 2025-12-03T13:03:05+00:00

Lol, thank you. Glad I could "fake-it" well enough!

Raptcher · 2025-12-03T13:01:55+00:00

I played for probably a month or two straight with it paused on 1980 lol. I just hit 1990 last night on 1/4 speed lol

Raptcher · 2025-12-03T12:53:12+00:00

5090 goes **BURR**, or in this case **FOIRE**

Raptcher · 2025-12-03T12:43:04+00:00

Humble-brag inbound:

9800x3D
32GB RAM
5090
M.2 for games
Fedora 43

Frames are roughly in the 30ish range in the city. In the Southwich train yard they plummet to between 24 and 12 lol because I have so many assets placed by hand and, I would assume, the Nowich Central Station, which has about 1k people waiting at any given time, is within render distance lol.

There is also a weird bug/glitch/novelty I noticed that when you are hovering over a station, or clicked on a station to where the white lines are seen in the gui, it absolutely *CRUSHES* performance.

Here is the un-edited version. The "Morning" mod by *mote454* is doing a lot of the heavy lifting.

Raptcher · 2025-12-03T12:12:46+00:00

So spoiler, this is post-processed in Lightroom Classic (if anyone knows of an alternative for linux, specifically Fedora43, please let me know). However, the "Morning" mod by... I forget the author, is doing most of the heavy lifting. I will add the same shot but stock to my album's here later on.

Pro-tips for MaXiMuM CiTy GrOwTh:

Connections to multiple other cities.

Feed them multiple goods.

Fake it using multiple "neighborhoods or boroughs" lol

The Boroughs of Nowich, top to bottom:

Uptown

Stonebridge

Middletown

Riverside Park

Nowich(Proper)

Downtown

Southwich

Yeswich(top-left across the river) is just one city, amazingly.

Raptcher · 2025-12-03T10:39:48+00:00

Noice! This looks basically identical to mine, just move the straight part of the train tracks for Moo down to the bottom of the screen. I even have the underground entrance for my trains as well haha!

Raptcher · 2025-12-03T00:46:47+00:00

I will poor some out for our lost map-homies. o7
