Cannot create anymore objects of this type?

[Tampa Powers]

So I did some testing and cannot wrap my head around this. Supposdely there is a fixed limit to the amount of objects you can place. However deleting one and then trying to place it again or even relocate will cause the message to pop up as well. Meaning if there was a limit, it is only added to and removal of objects only counts in rare cases.

Another problem seems to be overflow, larger buildings seem to count more towards the limit, in some cases crossing it, which causes a complete lock of object count. The result is the complete inability to place or relocate any building. Removing everything and completely destroying large parts of the city does not fix this.

With the programming knowledge I have I cannot figure out how these limits actually work and why they seem to behave this way. I would still like this to be considered a bug report as this overflow is game breaking.

What were you trying to place when the message came up? Each type of thing has a separate limit as far as I know. You had to of gone crazy large with your city to hit any limit.

Police, Healthcare, Education and Fire are all under the same type it seems. If you place enough police you cannot place any more healthcare. The limit is not per type it is for the whole utility.

Either that or there is another limit which dictactes overall placed buildings?

This makes no sense to me:

Build four buildings with options to build more. Pan camera over city. Can't place any more buildings. Is the building limit related to the amount of draw calls or something? I am using the same save file, which lets me build when I load it, but after looking over the city it suddenly blocks.

1. Load save
2. Place building
3. Save game
4. Can still place more buildings if I wanted to
5. Pan around city and zoom in on things
6. Can no longer place objects
7. Save another save file
8. Save file one can still place objects, save file two cannot

Idk how the limits actually work but I can only guess. Its possible each type has its limit but also governed by an upper global limit. Each building has a prop limit of its own of 64. Hit that limit easy when making nature parks in the asset editor. So I would imagine its possible for each building to count multiple time towards one limit or towards a range of limits. Only a portion of buildable land was used it your city so they really need to raise the limit.

32,768 of which thing?

[Tampa Powers]

That is the big question. As you can see in the video I can place things, but as soon as I pan around the city it blocks. I tried removing trees and other stuff to maybe reduce the amount of stuff the engine has to render as someone mention draw calls being limited, but to no avail.

Whatever it is, it feels like an unnessesary restriction in my eyes. Even performance is not a big factor, not for my system anyways. I started the city with the goal of a million citizens, but it seems that will not happen unless this bug is fixed.

Just tested, not mod related.

I get the same message for roads on my latest creation.

[guyan_de]

I get the same issue just all the buildings get locked (not including roads,pipes or trees), i also had a save which is just before this block occurs. I can have any amount of objects within 3 mins or so of loading that save but after that 3 mins into the save it always come up with that message no matter the amount of objects i have deleted or added .

Whatever it is, it is only the tip of the iceberg. I have found about a dozen other bugs, some game breaking some just annoying. In any case this is by far not the final version of this game, cause it still needs work and one can feel that.

Oh? Could you please provide a list of these 12 major bugs, especially the 'game breaking' ones?

Games will always have buggs, where do this "Final version" comes from?

It´s like gamers today think they will always have a bugfree experience with everything.
But do share those game breaking bugs, because i have not found anything that broke my gameplay.
