Way to increase district limit?

[Hieb]

Hello,

So I'm doing a fun city where I'm basically making the continent of Europe (with a bit of Africa and Asia at the edges) and building major cities as small towns/neighbourhoods with some landmarks (e.g. London Eye, Amsterdam Palace, etc.).

The one problem I've run into, which isn't a dealbreaker but is annoying, is I've apparently hit the district cap, so I can no longer easily layout and separate each city into its own district and will probably have to fall back to each country having a district.

Just curious if there's a settings/config file or something where I can increase the district limit?

Nope, most limits are hard-coded.

You can do a trick where a district can be divided into two.

Just drag the district to two zones that will have the same policies/themes even if they're across the map from each other. Erase the zone in between and voila.

I'm sure you don't have more than 128 different types of districts. I don't even think it's possible to have that many combinations of policies unless you have about a dozen district building themes active.

This can get complicated, but it works. Just remember that when you change policies for divided districts, that it will affect all those areas.

I have a city with many districts, but it's symmetrical, so this works quite well.

It's not so much for different policies, pretty much all of them have the same, It was just to make navigating at a glance easy and making it look more... map-like, I guess, having city names for the districts.

Guess I'll just separate by country or remove a bunch of the lesser cities from districts. Also I'm pretty sure my districts are nowhere near 128, I think it's about 50 something atm. I've got a handful of cities in the UK, France, Germany, Sweden, Italy, Turkey, and then some countries with just 1-2 cities (districts), and then I ran out before filling out most of Europe.

Thanks for the prompt responses :)

You shouldn't be maxing at 50 districts. I think if you delete a district entirely, it still counts toward the maximum, and you can never recover that capacity. I never delete a district anymore, I just minimize it and drag to another area out of the way for later use.

I'd hate to have built a massive metropolis with thousands of hours invested, only to hit the district limit because I was lazy and deleted a bunch of districts.

My last city had 109 districts and I hit the limit. I had deleted about a dozen districts, so basically arithmetic leads me to this conclusion, since the hard limit is 128 (might be 124).

It's hard coded so this figure won't change

I think it doesn't matter whether you remove a district or not, as I have done on my current map, you will always get to 127 districts. And that's a bugger. It's all different syles and mixed styles, plus obviously new specialisations... That limit should be changed as soon as possible... 600 may not be enough :)
