Make a hexagonal city/district to test out the concept. Because it would mean that all the junctions are 120*, which is much better than the Architect grid that you use.

[@bigz5262]

Bump

[@jurrrr1637]

Yeah, but the zoning system is really not designed for hexagons...

[@namelessfellow]

I ran the numbers (see the CSⅡ guides on steam, "Efficient Grids") and hexagons are pretty bad for density, actually. Having 6 corners like that just ends up making the zoning horrible, so they're surprisingly bad overall. Much better, if you want something gridded, to do something like herringbone that can have only 3-way junctions while still using only 90° angles.

Don't forget the scenic view walkways for the pedestrians to gaze at the awe of your engineering wonders! One long, winding "walking path" that leads to a single park on a towering plateau, after it snakes above the whole city. (Not the fake "walking road" one, the actual "walking path" from the landscaping tools area. Has covered bridge walkways for some decorations.) Don't forget to take them on a "River walk", to get a "taste of industry", from the air. Possibly a few passes weaving through the windmill intersection too!

If you use the roundabout tool you can make the ends of your cul-de-sacs rounded

[@alexhamilton3299]

But unfortunately you wouldn't be able to zone them

[@drewbarrymoresdealer]

You can’t with regular culdesacs though

[@namelessfellow]

@@drewbarrymoresdealer but at least you can zone all the way to the node; adding the roundabout just loses you even more space. Might as well draw a loop instead, for the cul-de-sac.

In CS2, they changed traffic AI so that it considers distance, junctions and few other stuff, meaning that it may be possible not many vehicles will use the new intersection. At least, it should stop residents from taking that entrance. I hope many trucks will use it. Great job.

The irony is the AI changes in CS2 makes it so cars judge distance between origin and destination by driving time rather then straight-line distance like in CS1, so no one will use that junction since it's likely faster to go to then next junction and come back.

Architects are currently well represented in Star Citizen. With building coming to Star Citizen soon(™), you might want to look it up the architects work and consider a Star Citizen playlist of your own... There may be a little catch-up to do before building comes, but now that there's more structures in cities and settlements and such, there might be a lot of content available for a Real Civil Engineer. It would be a shame if some other lesser not-real civil engineer took up all that free real estate. 😅

so i don't know if you noticed this yet.....but there is a tab under the roads icon..... it has parking lots. :P (reduces the amount of cars parked on the street, lowers car accidents and generally improves traffic....i usually throw a medium one in a population dense area like that and not only does it generate you ez cash it just makes everything look nicer. :)
