Noticed some weird path-finding behaviour. Traffic from Abbotsford Way going to the cargo harbour in Eastleaze preferred to take the road going around the city, while traffic coming from the cargo harbour preferred to go back via the road that goes through the city.

I needed an oil industry for some unique factories I wanted to build, so I expanded the cargo harbour with an oil terminal. All of the oil is imported, but the industry still makes a big profit.
And a new residential area for all the workers. Population count +1000. Roundabout count +1.

The river spends so much time empty, I reckon I could zone a park between the banks.

I feel sorry for the fish. If you have the mod (don’t remember the name) that allows you to plop water sources you could plop some in the river and they should help to stabilise the water level.

Since it's the fishing industry down in Marston Bay that keep getting flooded when the water comes back, I think the fish are loving it!
I've not had much success with trying this in the past. It's not actually the rivers I'm worried about, it's the flooding it causes in the estuary when it comes back. I tried placing a water source down their to stabilise it, but it didn't help. If I put the water source in the river I just get massive flooding somewhere.

Must be the heatwave causing it 🤔

As an experiment last night I used the ticket price mod to multiply all the public transport ticket prices by 10. Doing so doesn't negatively affect anything (it doesn't affect usage of public transport for instance) so I'd consider it cheating a bit, but I used it to shore up my finances whilst experimenting reducing taxes across the board to 1%. I was curious to see if this would increase my demand meter, but having left it running for 30 mins or so it hadn't changed much.
Having not worked on Cooper County since April it seems a few mods have changed/updated/stopped working. @eran0004 have you had any problems with the speed slider mod?
I think it might be something far more simple, and I fear I might have been being a dumbass.
need to experiment tonight.

I've a feeling that perhaps Cooper County might now be so top heavy the simulation will only now run at the equivalent to 40% at speed 1. Yikes.

Anyhow...
Mod recommendation for Industries players.
Steam Workshop::Transfer Controller 0.7.3
Installed this last night. I was a fan of the EDS mod that allowed for much more granular control of what buildings sent what vehicles where. Useful just for getting hearses to pick up the dead body next door instead of driving across the map to pick one up there, but really vital for making 'Industries' less infuriating. It got borked by Sunset harbour, and this is the best mod I've found since for doing a similar thing.
Controlling resources from extraction to final purpose is really useful.
Example; 2 Ore extractors feed 4 Grinding plants making metal. The metal is shipped specifically, and only to a warehouse local to the Ore production. The Warehouse can export (good for $), but will only supply the one other location on the map I've specified, the Metals warehouse next to my Ship yard - which in turn will only supply the Shipyard, which consequently, never runs out of metal because there's two buffers, and dedicated supply. Allowing the first warehouse to export allows for surplus production to be exported. Having fixed locations in the supply chain also allows for the traffic between the locations to be better managed - The major shortcoming is that you can't specify cargo hubs directly, they don't function quite the same as other buildings, but by specifying warehouses in certain locations you can manipulate the route cargo takes.
An interesting feature of the mod is you can actually see requests, incoming and outgoing vehicles, destinations and loads - including emergency service vehicles etc. and it handles the generic zoned industry too, so you can really force things to stay local, or to just import/export.
There's a little more to 'logic-ing it out', to get it to do what you want, but given I've built half my map around trying to force certain industry interactions, this level of detail is a god-send.

Another teaser
Hmm, so new roads, new buildings at least. Might be another content creator pack.

Seems like a great way of making your roads even busier to me. At least when trying to adapt new DLC to your existing cities.
The ability to add some wider paving areas between buildings and roads would be useful, as long as the paved areas have the same functionality for access as roads do, as long as there's a road connected to the pavements fairly close by. Pedestrianisation of city centres is on trend i guess, but currently businesses in game require imidiate road access.
More assets for the vanilla/console version are always welcome though 👍

The trailer was kind of vague, didn’t see much of interest there. The new content creator’s packs however, they look great! One mid-century modern pack and one seaside pack.

Yeah that’s the price on steam with a 9% discount in cad.
You’re right about the dlc, my intention was to basically mod it until it crashes anyway. I was just blown away by that price.

I'd be amazed if anyone had ever bought any of the bundles or just the base game at full price. Seven years in (five on the consoles) all that is pretty much constantly on sale, unless its brand new content.

Hmmm... £180 invested so far
1833 hours played... so about 10p per hour entertainment.
