Cities: Skylines (PC)

Hello!

Screen-shot time! This time from a game "Cities: Skylines" from the developer Colossal order. Here's their web-site. Grab it from steam to play on PC.

Direct link to image Here is a close-up of ore mining industry. Be aware that ore and oil get mined out really fast. I haven't checked how that impacts industry revenue with and without ore or oil underneath. Designate industries by drawing a district and using appropriate tool. Keep in mind that forest industry and farming don't create pollution and emit a bit less noise.

Direct link to image Here I took a reference picture of a triangle railroad connection. I'm a big fan of everything trains. Seen in picture is a cargo train. Passenger train stations bring in tourists.

Direct link to image Here I follow the bus. The "hole" in the ground is a metro station. Seriously, they are super-useful. They take up this little square space and run underground and even under water bodies. Only disadvantage is pedestrian traffic stopping regular traffic and the created noise.

Direct link to image Here I took a picture of a cool tall shopping tower. Nice, nice.


There you go. It's an easy simulation type of game. It's really fun to plan the traffic to get rid of as much jams as possible. If you'd like to try it yourself, keep in mind that everything needs electricity, most things need underground water pipe. Build roads and zone the areas surrounding roads. Industrial and commerce zones emit noise pollution which affects living quality. Industry and garbage department also create environment pollution.
