Garbage Problem

[fanmaxis3001]

In my city of just under 7000 people, I have a landfill with a capcaty of about 8,000,000 tons or so, and usage is just over 5 million, yet all over the city im getting garbage can icons over everyones houses and sick icons because of it. According to the coverage grid, the garbage trucks seem to have access to the neighborhoods. Is this another bug or am I doing something wrong? I dont want to plop a landfill in the middle of my residential district that is evolving nicely.

Check to see if all of your trucks are busy.

Garbage trucks will pick up trash on their way to a destination with a garbage icon showing. Which means in some cases they will fill up before they reach the building with the icon. In turn having to send another truck ( I have one such issue in my city but given enough time they do make it there with enough room( in the truck) to get all the trash. But they do have to show a RED icon before this pick up happens). I don’t think garbage causes Cims to get ill. I think that is a separate issue (polluted water supply) . Traffic congestion will cause trucks to gather garbage slowly so therefor they never catch up with the demand.


Without a screenshot all we can do is point out causes and at that we could be very wrong!

How do you post a screenshot on the this forum?

SCREENSHOTS:
So while in game “Cities Skylines”, every time you hit the F12 button on the keyboard it will take a snapshot. To view and upload them you need Steam. After you have taken snapshots go into steam. Either hit/push “Shift+Tab” while in game and it will open the Steam window. There is a button (bottom left) “view screenshots” click that, a window opens “Screenshot Uploader”. If no thumbnails to view then click the text window beside “Show:” you will find your shots under Current session or Cities Skylines. click on the screenshot you to upload to your profile then hit the upload button. Done, then afterwards you may want to click the “View Online Library”
You don’t have to be in game to view or upload the shots. In this case open Steam, across the top of Steam page you see Steam tab then View tab. Click “view” look for Screenshots click that and the same little window will open, and you know the rest. Once screenshots are on the profile you click them and at the top of the window that is made you see a link address. Copy that and paste in thread/forum post.

Because your profile is set to public like mine is you only need to upload it to your profile for us to see them.

As for profiles there are many of us that have useful screenshot to learn from or ideas you have yet to think of. Don’t be shy, scrutinize us all that’s why there public.
