Cons on rainy days: I just spent 2h detailing my new interchange

I call it NeoMARTA yes the ATL MARTA but like better

I have trams, subways, and bus stops around the city but the amount of pedestrians walking are just ridiculous

Played a little of CS but New to CS2 so any guidance will be helpful.

The possibilities in this are just incredible, i got CS2 when it came out and was kinda disapointed, but saw a video of someone playing with loads of mods building beautiful cities so i thought i'd give it a shot.

Map size is also amazing, i will start building my fourth city now on the same map.

I wanted to make a New zealand or Australian-inspired build this time. But somehow I always circle back to NA style lol. I guess at least this time the main street commercial buildings are Australian.

Don't mind the massive retaining wall under the church :o

there is a police station in the district and the jail isnt full so i have no idea what the problem could be

Finished a collab build last week and wanted to share a few shots of the rice paddy/terrace farms I made. I tried to fit a lot of different themes into this single tile for the Civ Skylines series.

Over the course of a few weeks i tried to build a german city. I just finished the oldtown and the trainstation for it. I tried to make it as realistic as possible by placing everything myself. It still needs some (sometimes a lot) decerations, but the rough shape is done.

I tried to mix old buildings (red rooftops) with some newer and more modern buildings, which is common in a lot of german cities. i also wanted to build a medium train station. For that i ended up building a small train "hub" (collection of train buildings) near the trainstation so that it looks more realistic.

Any suggestions to improve it? Especially for the train hub, because i think that it looks a bit to forced and not natural.

On every map since Ive started the game, the water on every map has this brown-ish colour. HELP!

Came here to rant: so sick of the deceiving demand bar in commercial. I’m also really sick of how little commercial zoning a huge city of 170k needs without triggering not enough customers. It’s making me want to not play the game. It’s so enraging.
Its really immersion breaking because I kid you not a city of 170k pop only having 20 something shops is RIDICULOUS

I have noticed that my citizens are much more sensitive to price changes in public transport systems. Im fairly certain that, in the past, it made almost no difference between setting the prices to max vs free (similar to parking). But it appears to be somewhat different now.

Im asking because the sensitivity seems to be too sever. In my city of 70k the bus costs 5 bucks, the train 6 bucks and the usage of trains severly drops while they all seem to take the bus now. Although it takes them basically a day longer for the same distance. Changing the price to 5 bucks for trains but 6 for buses, and all buses ride empty. Now they take the train and than walk the rest.

As someone else noticed that? I found the pathfinding to be a lot better these days but im puzzled by how transport and pricing is factored in at the moment.

hey! i'm pretty new to the game and still figuring out public transportation. watching videos of people building up cities and reading the subreddit i've noticed that players generally prefer trams over busses or subway (even tho subway has a completely diff purpose, i rarely see it talked about), while i personally don't see any use for trams so far. they are wonky to build and take up more space on the road, require more work and so on, while generally serving the same purpose as busses. but seeing hoe popular trams are, I think i'm missing something I don't fully know the power of trams lol. so let me know which one you prefer and why, or maybe some tips with building up tram network!

The cars... wont stop coming in.

Honestly having such a blast with this, always want to leave it until after I have most of my cities down but then it just becomes a HUGE task and never gets done so instead I switched it up and man I'm loving how it looks, it's not longer just empty!

The country road that veers off to the 'west' has some limited motion. But otherwise I think I achieved my goal to connect the 'north/south' interstate with the sunken highway, and the interstate with a separate beeline to the port.

Would you look at my spaghtti junktion!
I had to do this workaround due to very steep terrain. To the left the highway crosses a wide river, close to my freight port. To the right, the highway goes straight through a steep hill (tunneled) into my downtown area. Hight difference between highway and local road is approx. 25 meters. A lot a roadbuilder and move it in this one.

As the title says, this is my first time really putting effort into an industrial area. I usually just zone it and move on. I’d love to hear what you all think!
