Hmmmm...third time it was much easier to get up to almost 30k. No traffic jams! And I've done it without mass transit so far

Zen Garden

EVERYBODY GET'S ZEN GARDENS!

Okay I was writing something more serious about this but it got out of hand way too fast.

In short; we goofed, majorly, on the sendout of keys to the promo item "Zen Garden" that was rewarded to people that signed up to our pre-launch newsletter. A whole lot of people ended up not getting their item which is obviously a bad thing.

It was intended to be a one-time exclusive just like pre-order items or stuff we'd give away at conventions. Alas, with the extra struggle that appeared with the missing keys, we decided this shouldn't be the case.

So we're giving it to everyone.

We'll update both the standard and deluxe versions to include this item by default. As we're working with the Steam backend it might take a little while for it to update, but expect it to pop up in-game (under parks) some time today.

Please note that we're not planning to make a habit out of giving away promo items to everyone. This is a one time thing.

Cheers,
The Cities: Skylines Team

Works for me

That GTA mod looks good.

Free stuffs...YAY!

Nuts. The GTA that is.

The mod is a nice decision from them.

Brilliant game, considering the studio only has 13 people

Some tips and tricks, quite handy some of them. These are not spoilers, rather explaining the game mechanisms.
(eg that offices are in fact industrial zones!)

Being that the other 2 types have High density.. and unlocks at the same time, did you think it was something else or just an example?

Post by **Shonky** » Sun Mar 22, 2015 7:30 am

Pretty easy to think it's something else I reckon, otherwise why not call it high density industrial?

ysu · Post by **ysu** » Sun Mar 22, 2015 10:55 am

plus the colour is rather misleading

wobblysauce · Post by **wobblysauce** » Sun Mar 22, 2015 6:48 pm

Indeed.

Seen a number of people upload bad interchanges, well not bad as such but not ideal as there to tight.

So some might not of seen this.

Or the ever faithful roundabout.

Those who thing they got it all sorted out (I felt like that too) or just need a bit of a challenge - start unlocking the unique buildings.
The 50% crime rate is especially nasty

to get there I had to downgrade the city to a level where the 50K city lost people at the rate of 6K at a point! I went down to 10K people - a ghost city, really, by the time I got the building. It takes ages to claw yourself back, too, as people never really flock back at the same rate. Burned through 2mil easy.

The desolation, while working towards this noble goal...this was early on, pretty much the first wave of bad things. Notice, I still got 54K residents.

Haha the desolate ruins of the abandoned town look cool!

Maybe you can call a "budget emergency" and purge large swathes of government employees and see what that does to the place.

lol don't forget to raise education costs right up.

wobblysauce · Post by **wobblysauce** » Wed Mar 25, 2015 8:01 pm

Or get the LHC and drop the Education budget..

ysu · Post by **ysu** » Wed Mar 25, 2015 8:20 pm

Actually, education had to be taken off the table entirely.
Along with all the services except garbage & death care.

Redoing significant parts of your road/highway infrastructure is a bad idea if your city is on one side and your dumps are on the other..... Especially if you don't pause the game

Half my city is either dead, or sick

Lol.. Time fixes all wounds.. except those that are dead.

Greetings!

Seems like our newest patch, 1.0.7b, unintentionally made it impossible to properly load a large amount of save-games.

We are reverting to the last patch, 1.0.6b, until we have identified and fixed this issue.

Many apologies for the confusion and chaos caused by this!

Thank you for your patience and understanding. I will update you with more info and hopefully an ETA come Monday.

For users that still want to access 1.0.7b it is currently available as a steam beta - no password needed, use at your own risk!

Cheers,
John
