Starting a New Island City: Economy 2.0 - Sunny Isle #1 

I think the Dutch may of been around Sunny Isle if my memory serves me right 😉

@@SunnyScunny haha nice, excited to see where it’s going!

@@SunnyScunnyhonestly. Take some liberties, any of the small ones were treated as prestige trades at negotiations, “I’ll take this swathe of rich land in Europe from you, but for the sake of prestige we’ll grant you this speck in the Caribbean to save face”. So anyone small had 2 owners at some point, and then a lot of Caribbean islands especially white majority ones looked towards a European country or American state for inspirations. So you could easily have, a Spanish gridded large village with a sugar plantation nearby, an English coastal fishing village and port, and then several French villages in the inland doing normal farming, all tied together by modern Dutch bicycle friendly roads, with a Dutch inspired expansion to the English port city that has a traffic circulation plan and modern Dutch town halls in places.

Absolutely, I'm not fixated on creating realistic cities; my goal is to enjoy the process, drawing inspiration from anywhere. I value the encouragement-thanks for the inspiration

@@SunnyScunny that’s exactly what makes it fun, right :)

Also, your modified rural highway is probably more true to the real place.

+1 Hoping for it as well

Hey, I misplaced the original, but managed to put this one together that is similar: mods.paradoxplaza.com/mods/85245/Any

@@SunnyScunny Thank you so much

Great idea! I think the initial outlay is quite expensive but maintenance costs are quite low, if only I can get the damn things to work, I had three in a previous city, but never got 100% efficiency

@@SunnyScunny Yeh, from what I read they are very tricky to get working properly and then stay working. I see this proposed one as more cosmetic than realistically operational. It seems the length of the dam determines the highest "possible" output and the height (not flow as one would expect) determines "actual" output (and this location doesn't fit the two very well, so I am not very optimistic one will work above a low %). Also it seems (from what I am reading), once you have the length and height going for you then you run into the water physics issues of the game, which adds other issues for which most players can't work a solution. Additionally the concept, implementation, and modelling seems to be based 100% on in-dam hydro (dam across a river and turbines in the dam or next to it), which means heaps of opportunities for extra content has been missed. While in-dam is the go to for the mega-hydro projects, that size scale and implementation doesn't fit CS 1 or 2 very well. The option to use out of dam hydro would have been a good path to have as well. Out of dam is where there is a separate dam or diversion, water is taken out the river course, fed to the turbines via pentstock (pipe), then returns to the river course (or in some cases a different river). If this option was added in, there would be the option of using pumped hydro as a storage medium. Anyway its a if only.

I'm totally on board with some vanity projects once we've got the economy sorted. We might even see a bit of electricity come our way, which is a win-win situation.

Hello! My other city will be back, once the office workplace retention bug has been fixed, or when I can roll back to a previous version of the game. New cities are not as effected by the problems caused by the new patch, I'm enjoying it. Thanks, as always, for tuning in 👏

@@SunnyScunny i did not know there if a office bug ? ,i have to remove all school mods in old cities,because the garbage will not removed ,also service mods .school cap mod work sometimes and sometimes not ,very anoying .

After a while all the offices go down to 5 workers which is a disaster in an old city when half your population lose their jobs

@@SunnyScunny ok,ive notice this, ,i will check it iin my city :)

@@SunnyScunny you right same here
