I was little on the fence about posting this one as I fear it might be a little boring for some of you, but figured I would upload it anyway. This episode is more about general housekeeping, and getting the city better optimized by dividing it up into multiple districts. So nothing actually gets built. Hpefully you guys enjoy it! :)
Never apologize. These logistical episodes are important and they serve well the portion of the community that cares about these things. And even those that don’t, it shows them that it’s not difficult and doesn’t take that much time to do a little housekeeping every now and then even if they are more of the city painter type.
The garbage pile-up in some of your services may be caused by not having zones selected for the trash services. I highly recomend. Solved the issue for me and you services can opperate efficent.
16:18 It's fine that Bixton is divided into multiple districts. It's the region's core city and thus has the largest population. It also realistic and lets you divide services as needed.
I think you should build another city, by the lake next to the interchange between Sunnyside and the highway going towards Bixton. You could build a downtown similar to St. Patricksburg from your Florida series. You can connect the lake to the ocean via a canal, and the city would help stabilize the budget and make Bixton more into a metropolis.
13:43 you can tell when a service building has a designated zone by looking right above the select operating district button. For example: at 13:57 the game doesnt appear to have assigned the crematorium correctly because we do not see Sunnyside listed. Also i think your districts are probably too big considering youre trying to limit insane pathing. Then again i havent experimented enough with huge districts, so you might be right. I liked zoning stuff as a function of population, and i would zone an area that contains 1.500ish kids and 1.500ish teens (+/- 200), put a school complex in the middle, and call it a day. Haven't played the update yet, so the schools capacity might've changed and that might change how i limit my districts.
If the services in a certain district are full people will use available services anywhere else no matter the district. For your examples patients won't be transported
Interesting video, thanks. I have been on the fence about buying this game. Do you think it's release ready or should wait until they continue fixing the original issues?
