Starting Entrance (Green Plains)

[Alta ♥]

I am just trying to start a new game again and i keep running into the same problem. The roads that link your land to the highway are just wrong.

They are 1 square short of from the edge of the map.

They come in at an angle so already you aren't building straight.

They are stupid close together so they can't have anything inbetween.

They are one way roads when you can't even build one way at the start.

They cannot be demolished or replaced.

It is a very small thing that honestly has ruined my starting experience. I was horrified when i found out later that my city of squares and rectangles was not aligned with the borders. The person that placed them is either sadistic or just didn't care.

Anyway this game looks beautiful and i am really enjoying it so far and i will be playing it a lot especially since it is a Paradox published game although i am a little worried that you have already got 4 DLC packs before the game even launched.

Well I doubt any real-world city is completely "straight", no matter how rigid its grid structure might seem at first glance.

That is a completely useless comment. Cities are naturally built over time, it's only recently that we have tried planning cities. Simply look up Sidyney (Organic) then look at Melbourne (planned)

The difference is huge, I am very glad i am not the only one but the thing is people like me tend to not give up and spend literally hours fixing a simple problem.

The thing I find annoying is that that you are forces to connect the ramps in a unrealistic way and people will be turning at the exit or attempting to make u-turns. The fact that they are 10 feet apart from each other bugs me.

Any more tips or suggestions...I am all game.

Just build away from them, and then buy that piece of land later and redo it however you want. It will give you something to work towards

Really tempted to set up some kind of support group for perfectionists. This map has caussed more problems for more than just me.

Yeah that's what we end up doing after spending 20mins-2hours trying to mess with the very first roads.

The biggest problem of "just build away from it" is that you will always know it's there and it's just wrong.

You should see my maps...I am in no way perfectionist I just play randomly but stuff like that interchange and having to force 100s to cars to turn left on a tiny piece of road connecting the interchanges is bugging me.

You can change the flow of traffic with one way roads rather than trying to build roads around it however i can see how that can be annoying.

I can only respond to you placing stuff randomly with: please don't show me, i'm just glad you're having fun.

I feel your ocd man...
Would be great if this was addressed in a future patch :)

1. Yes and? They aren't intended to be a must keep longterm solution. Buy the tile behind it and start replacing it if you feel strongly about it.

2. Then place something like a roundabout (which are by default true north), connect the two and build out from that instead for your square grid city dream.

3. They're highways - There's not supposed to be anything between them. And if you want to do that, see previous comment about replacing them later on.

4. My gods - The horror! (Just disable the building unlocks if you don't want to actually progress through the game and unlock highways naturally)

5. Yes they can - See "buying the tile"

Let me repeat that one - You can remove ANYTHING within the buildable borders.

Look I'm not going to try debate this with you. I am glad and a little envious that you don't have a need to fix it right away.

Your "fixes" also require 2-5 hours before getting a chance to even fix it. Yes you're right i could buy the tile but that would set me back and the whole reason I feel the compulsion to do this is efficiency.

Not true, at the very start of the game those roads are fixed in place and cannot be altered.

[texancowboy22]

Are there any known mods to fix this problem?

Just build the smallest amount of road you can just somewhere and demolish it, then you can add one way roads to them ^^

As for being at an angle call it practice to build more dynamically, to avoid bog standard boring grid cities XD
