"Overlapping items" in everything

[Krist0fh]

Any idea how to fix it? I get "overlapping items" in every single thing. I can't even combine two roads. I can't continue one road. It wont even let me do a simple 90º angle. Any idea? Thanks

Update: It was attached with electricity wires but still how would I know that? Couldn't they make it clear? And also if I then demolish the incineration plant the line should just be able to stand without the incineration plant right? And it still doesn't explain why I couldn't add more space

I'm almost becoming bitter toward City Skylines II. Streets are VERY difficult to work with in this version.

This has to be the most annoying feature in this game. Honestly fix this ♥♥♥♥ like yesterday..... never had issues like this in cities 1. Great job Failadox.

I don't know if this will help you because I find the waterways absolutely infuriating. I was having the same issue with a road not allowing a waterway underneath despite being at 50 height and not being able to go higher. What I did to finally make it work was make sure the road was at the highest point at the part I needed the waterway. Then I toggled OFF all snapping and moved around my cursor under the road until I finally got it to let me place a tiny piece of waterway. Then I connected it to the rest of the waterway from there without getting the overlapping items error. Maybe if you turn off snapping like that and try to place an isolated piece of the waterway under your bridge, then you'll be able to build the waterway out from that point. I wish you luck.

I had the same issue when i wanted to delete an aboned home.
Became the error of overlapping items

First I searched here for an answer but could'nt find it.
But will ik saw the message of overlapping items, one street a few meters further away (side street) became a red line around it. I turned this road into another type of road and after that I could delete the aboned building.

So I don't have the answer for "why", but look for a red surrounding item while you become the error of overlapping item and adjust that.

I like sweet stuff :)
Before the release of this game I was dreaming of a 16 lane highway mod.

Enable Developer Mode:

1. Right-click Cities Skylines 2 in your Steam library and click properties.
2. In the General tab, type in “–developerMode” into the launch options (without the quotation marks).
3. Close the general tab, open the game, and start a new game/load your saved game.

Hit [ TAB ]. Select [ Simulation ] from the top menus. Check the box that says [x] Bypass Validation Results. Hit [ TAB ] to exit the menu.

Build your bridge.

This should be its own thread.

I found I had to make the train bridge at least 60m high. And it should be level across the shipping lane, not ramped.

Are you using the right bridge tool? It's not the same as the highway tool.

I ended having to build the middle section over the shipping lane first, and then the ramps on each side, which is not ideal, but c'est la vie.

For real! Can't place elec lines because of "Overlapping Items". Can't place water pipes because of "Overlapping Items". Can't place roads because of 'Overlapping Items" This is the worst designed game ever. And dont even get me started on those stupid water and sewage pipes that don't connect. ugh

Use the Anarchy mod. It lets you place things anywhere you want.

Use the Anarchy mod. You can build anything anywhere.

Not the point though, not everyone wants to mod the game, and it shouldn't be a requirement to fix issues.

This is why CS2 is what it is, because people happily ignored the problems in CS1 since mods fixed most of it, that and it was the only thing people had, so expectations were at the bottom of the barrel.

And with updates, (that should be far more frequent than they have been) the mod may break anyway.
