Automate car dealerships?

[Duke Flapjack]

Is there any way of automating restocking cars besides building them yourself? I've noticed you can't assign them to depots, but I haven't really experimented with them any further. I would love to allow my people to own cars, but I don't particularly wish to build an auto plant (yet).

I don't think so, but you can download a small motor works on the workshop

This is an easier solution: Buy cars at all the parking lots and they will be assigned automatically

I actually already have the small motorworks. I suppose I need to find somewhere to put it now.

The fun of cars isn't necessarily HAVING them, though: it's watching them propagate through your population. I love the idea of getting a person to an auto dealer by bus and having them leave in a car. It's just so tedious having to buy each vehicle individually.

Don't they teleport to the car when it is assigned to them?

Perhaps. I'm honestly not very sure. I make sure that the people CAN get to the dealership regardless of if they actually need to do so or not, regardless. Realistic(ish) infrastructure makes me happy.

I agree with that. I hope someday people will have to ride home, too. I'm trying to make a much more realistic, pretty country this time around. I love how my just small town is coming along. I think I am going to aim for a population of about 3000 for it, then start a bigger city and some more villages. I think I will only use houses and the "old style buildings" in this small town.

That's what I typically do. I don't do megacities. I have downloaded pretty much every "small" building I could find. I avoid prefab if at all possible until I can actually produce the stuff. My buildings tend to go heavy on the bricks.

That is what I am doing. I do a mix, though. I like to have a large capital with the large Soviet buildings and this time I am building may small villages, most of which will be old school, and some "planned" ones. I like to build everything from scratch. I wish there was a small brick plant.
