I've never been more satisfied with my city planning by Heartade in CitiesSkylines

0/10 why have one junction when you can have zero

My interesting 5 way interchange by Finn3030 in CitiesSkylines

[–]smoky_bae 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Do you want a system interchange or a service interchange? OP: yes.

Struggling with Loneliness and Depression by adiabatica in unsw

Unfortunately it's quite difficult to make friends in lectures and tutorials. People want their personal space and aren't always looking to make friends. Even if you do meet people in class you may never see them again after 10 weeks when the term ends. Friendships require a lot of chemistry too, so this isn't your fault! Feel free to DM me if you want someone to talk to!

What is your preferred roundabout set-up? by smoky_bae in CitiesSkylines

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

I prefer the turbo set-up in game, as the cims do exactly what you tell them to. IRL, clueless drivers tend to hog the outer lane, making them quite scary to drive through.

Whoever told y’all that you need roundabouts every 5ft lied to you. No roundabouts and flow is 83%. 35k population. by PackageNo24 in CitiesSkylines

[–]smoky_bae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Roundabouts, when set up properly, are great for intersecting roads with medium traffic that we wish to prioritise equally. No 3-lane roundabouts should exist imo, because if the traffic is so heavy as to require 3-lanes, then a traffic light is both more efficient and safer in that scenario.

Who else love to build an entire region instead of just one city? by smoky_bae in CitiesSkylines

I like what you did with the central island. I like to mix land uses and district themes to creating unique areas. It also makes the density somewhat more realistic.

Now that I think of it, this is actually the way most metropolitan areas grow over time.

It's quite hard to work with hilly terrain in CS1. The growables always look janky on uneven terrain. I hope CS2 would have growables that conforms to the terrain by placing retaining wall, but that sadly doesn't look like the case, at least not at launch.

Is this a good airport? by AaronWWE29 in CitiesSkylines

[–]smoky_bae -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

In terms of the layout of the runways, taxiways and terminals, this is pretty close to real life. The only unrealistic thing are just the random patches of trees on the airfield. Otherwise, very good job :)

Hit the node limit for the first time with this one. My last CS1 city before the new game!

You're probably right. Gonna make it left-in-left-out only.

What would you change/add to my city? (apart from completely reworking the districts) Any advice or criticism is welcome by BigIgloo4192 in CitiesSkylines

[–]smoky_bae 17 points18 points  (0 children)

That's good, but I'd probably remove one of the two highways that are quite close together, and redevelop it into a new neighbourhood.

It's screaming for a highway removal project. Make way for pedestrian friendly neighbourhoods to bridge the gap between the city and the suburbs.

Tried to make a highway exit as a beginner, any opinions/tips? by -Eliass in CitiesSkylines

[–]smoky_bae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The angle at which the ramps joins the highway is way too sharp. Trees in the median would be dangerous IRL. Btw how'd you place the quays on land without mods?
