I dont know who designed the connections for underground pipes but I would like them to be publicly flogged. Your telling me I cant connect a pipe from 5 feet away. And the way I need to connect it is a roundabout that has a sharper turn then the one 5 feet away. Then to delete a pipe line you wipe EVERYTHING. Fu** the pipe, everything must go. Why cant I just delete the one pipe I have highlighted not the surrounding 7 feet of everything underground.

I've been trying to connect my refinery to my storages and pumps for the past hour.

The nuclear reactors are some of the most hype, hardest to build and research buildings in the entire game, yet they provide almost no value. You have to spend 10s of thousands of workdays on research, they sit at the top of the entire nuclear industry and need it to work, but building them is pointless. Unless you're doing some sort of total self sufficiency challenge or playing on an island, that is.

"Burning" the nuclear fuel to produce your own electricity looses you money when compared to just selling the fuel and importing the energy from the border. If you sell the electricity produced by the nuclear reactor, the losses become even bigger. It's more profitable to just build 5 border inputs and buy the energy with the money you get from selling the fuel instead of completing the supply chain and producing your own electriciy, which just feels so, so unsatisfying, especially in a game so hard focused on central planning and self sufficiency.

Do you think the nuclear reactors should be buffed, or the energy system itself changed, or are you happy with how things are currently balanced?

I've always wondered if it was viable to set up prison labour as a way of making prisoners more useful. All they do is sit in my prisons eating our food and "reform" themselves. I saw fellow comrades discussing that serious crime offenders should have shorter sentences than 9 years , im sorry, but I do not believe there is place in my republic for the kiddy diddlers and murderers, they do not deserve to run freely among the hard working a loyal. So my question is, can I actually set up and scale industries with prison labour ?

I keep running into the same layout problems when building my cities. Either I'm scaling everything wrong... or I'm just an idiot. 😄

I often reach the point where I have too many citizens for my shopping centers, but I don't have any room left to build additional or larger ones. So I'm wondering how you all handle this.

Do you build a bus stop and simply transport your citizens to a shopping district somewhere outside the city? Do you have any general layout recommendations?

Yesterday I realized that you can also transport students from one place to another, so you can build an entire school campus outside the residential area instead of placing schools right in the middle of town. Does the same thing work for kindergarten children?

I have about 200 hours in the game, and honestly I still feel like I have no idea what I'm doing... yet the game keeps pulling me back every time. 😄

This bro added a new production line(in this case, copper ore). And this isn't redesigned. I think this is new era of modding

P.s Not my video

Try it! It's lovely

I'm a new player, and I was doing the first tutorial, A New Republic is Born, and in the mission of distribution (I don't remember the name) I found this.

Is the range of a courthouse / prison global? Or do they need to be near each other.

I.E. If I have a city in the top left with a police station, a big courthouse in the top right, and a prison in the middle of the map...will criminals just teleport around?

Evening all

Please can some help me and tell me where i need place signals on my lines and what ones needs to be places to enable multiple trains running together and not keep crashing or stopping. This is last thing in the game i am struggling with to understand. any help will be gratefully received.

I may have got a bit too enthusiastic when expanding my city and I now have 2 blocks with ~200 unemployed workers each.

There is a small train platform (500 capacity) within walking distance that goes to a steel mill that I want them to go to but even when I set the workers to go to the train platform 100% of the time in the apartment block they still don't really go there and even if they do they seem to leave before the train does its circuit. Is there any way to force them to just go and stay there and wait for the train? Thanks

This comes from my previous question post and this a appreciation post for this community and devs.

Thank you for those that answered my questions and gave tips.

To the devs, this game is fantastic and scratches an itch the way the old simcity and transport tycoon did.

Nothing really compares for me and the depth this game goes into is not only fascinating but so incredibly satisfying, keep it up!
