re: **Official Cities: Skylines Thread**

My city got too educated for the industry. I could never get enough people to work in my industry sections.

Sooooo

I built an illiterate section of town. Plenty of police and fire protection, but no access to schools other than elementary and one high school. It's basically a giant subdivision. All those people work in the industry and have no roads leading anywhere but one exit road out of the neighborhood into the industry section.

Worked out pretty well.

Smart as hell. (And amazing layer for the game). My original city went into a free fall financially. And my industry couldn't get any workers. Bet if I do something similar I could save it. (We are about to go bankrupt and people are moving out in droves.)

So you basically built the Blue collar projects neighborhood. Soufside stand up

I hope you guys keep the thread active. I don't have a computer to play this game and I have to live vicariously through you guys and twitch TV

Can't wait to see what other games get their map remade in skylines.

Along those same lines I wonder if it's possible to recreate westeros aka game of thrones with skylines. Or even other world's from books or movies, the possibilities are endless.

My Industry and the solution (this is the second time i build a neighborhood specifically for my industry workers.) It worked equally well both times.

I know the interstate looks ugly, but I had to alleviate the the traffic and they each serve a specific purpose. Later this weekend I'm gonna work on rounding them out and making them look cleaner.(Another tip: If your interstate is getting backed up, placing a dump off valve that connects back to the same interstate later is a huge help)


You can see all the abandoned industry buildings and requests for workers:



Then i built the "South Eastern Industrial Ghetto" and connected it to my oil industry district "Halliburton Hood". As soon as the neighborhood was populated:



Here is the overview of the whole city. Halliburton Hood looks abandoned because i just converted it from oil to ore. So it is in a rebuilding phase:

My city was doing great then all of a sudden people started dying and I started losing money. I have no idea what has happened. Everything was great then poof. Disaster.

WHat was your population?

I've spent an absurd amount of money on hospitals and cemeteries and cops and fireman.

Every couple of blocks there is a little fire house, police house, health clinic, and cemetery, then on the main roads leading to those places there is a hospital, fire station, police station, crematory, etc...

Some of it overlaps but you need a shite load of health care stuff to keep people happy and healthy. Especially the damn cemeteries. I have so many damn cemeteries and still sometimes, someone who lives next door to a cemetery will never get the dead picked up and will abandon the property.

Your city looks like an absolute clusterfrick. That shite would get on my nerves. I have to have everything symmetrical.

ETA: I have been working on a city I am finally happy with. I will post it in a bit. I just took a break when I hit the 8K population mark.

Exactly what happened to me in Robwood. I finally abandoned the game.

Started Newrob...thinks are moving along nicely with 12K of little citizens bouncing around my map.
