Progress on Monterey

[patent coral]

Making a bit of progress on the downtown area of my city, adding some details and filling blank spaces

[crude mountain]

love it

[patent coral]

Thanks!

[sand raft]

[lapis moat]

@feral herald

Pog you doing a new city on MOnterey?

[patent coral]

yeah

[lapis moat]

What vibe you trying to go for? Like SF type city, LA type, Bakersfield Type, or some other California type or something else

[patent coral]

Taking inspiration from SF mostly, for the waterfront especially. But I'm also looking at Baltimore, for the waterfront as well. I'm also trying for some LA vibes with the mountains in the background, and the size of the downtown in proportion with the rest of the (future) city

I wanted something a bit like this, in some ways

but obviously the downtown core is pretty much right on the waterfront, unlike LA

I like nice views

[lapis moat]

Is this hinting at Suburbia

[lapis moat]

So like LA’s Skyline on the Waterfront

Like how SF’s is

[patent coral]

yeah I guess

[fierce ocean]

LOVE it

[main sedge]

@lapis moat what do you use for video quality

i have everything on max and my game still looks like poo

[lapis moat]

Did you mean to ping alex

Cuz if not I use a ton of mods

But this is their thread

[main sedge]

@patent coral

yea i just press tab cause it used to just auto select the thread owner

idk why discord removed that

[patent coral]

I use Render It, Relight, Dynamic Resolution ( boosting to 150-200% resolution), and Theme Mixer 2
My graphic settings are all at max (except for Anti Aliasing, which is disabled). I'm using FXAA anti aliasing in Render It!, and I have it set to Extreme Quality, or maybe one level lower, I don't remember exactly

If you want to have a look at my Relight settings, check my map's workshop page (search for Monterey, you should find it easily), there's a screenshot of it there. Last image

In general tho, a good LUT will do like 75% of the work, a good map theme or theme mix will also improve the look of the game quite drastically, the rest is mostly minor improvements in comparison

Oh and Cubemap Replacer to replace the look of the skybox

[main sedge]

ill check it out cause this just looks like trash tbh
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/962563117060075543/1066586149612703845/image.png

[patent coral]

Yeah, a good LUT will help a lot

I personally almost always use Relight Neutral. Comes with the Relight mod

I've tried many many different LUTs but I always go back to relight neutral

[main sedge]

is that through the color correction menu?

@patent coral

[patent coral]

You can select Relight Neutral from Render It and save it to your profile, but afterwards, the color correction settings I use is done through relight's interface yeah

[sand raft]

👍 love it

[patent coral]

thank you

[fierce ocean]

super nice

[patent coral]

new road

[patent coral]

new new road because the previous one wasn't working as intended

[fierce ocean]

palms growing out of concrete

👍

[patent coral]

[fierce ocean]

did you use custom road builder for that road

[patent coral]

Yes

It's really nice to use but unfortunately I'm having some issues with the roads generated... My FPS is taking a big hit from the IMT fillers and lines, which never really happened before afaik

But going from 38FPS to 29FPS when using just a couple of the roads I've generated

So I'm probably gonna just use workshop roads for now

[patent coral]

welp nevermind, couldn't find one that did what I wanted, so back to road builder lol

[patent coral]

new tram road once again. I'll probably settle with this one

when I toggle problem notifications on 🥴

[sand raft]

Yh IMT is quite heavy recently :(

[patent coral]

😔

it's not too bad right now. I lowered the render distance and LOD distance settings in IMT's options and I'm getting around 30-35 FPS with this view, which should be my most detailed area so far

[sand raft]

Well all my roads will be IMT

It lags so much with 100 percent speed camera and the cam jumps everywhere

Unplayable without Play It

[patent coral]

oh god

good luck

[patent coral]

LOL YES, I was looking for a tram asset with doors on the correct side but couldn't find any that I liked as much as this one so I'm just rolling with it for now 😂

[patent coral]

thanks, this one looks quite nice

[patent coral]

Little custom tram stop

[lapis moat]

Blank Roads? Pog, just needs bollards for the Bike Lanes

[lapis moat]

Also the LUT and theme for Monterey matches it soooooo well

[patent coral]

yeah the bike lanes are a bit dangerous lol... I should have added at least a filler between the bike lanes lol

I'll look into adding bollards

[lapis moat]

nah, use a lane marker and bollards, or like me in some portions of the city I havent started working on in, follow Vancouver and use Traffic Cones

[patent coral]

not the bollards I'm gonna use but yeah I think this could look nice

[patent coral]

I think this looks quite nice. Thanks for the tip @lapis moat

Quite happy with how these roads turned out, only bummer is IMT having such a big impact on my FPS now. Also gotta find some nicer planters for the palms now

[fierce ocean]

can you give me the link to those palms

those roads just look so nice too

[patent coral]

I'm mainly using these https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2700780115
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1230846044

I think the palm trees on the roads are the ones by MrMaison

[fierce ocean]

thanks

[patent coral]

New bus + tram roads

[patent coral]

sprawl

[fierce ocean]

respectfully those houses r not it for me

but it looks nice

[patent coral]

They were pretty much the only low density houses I had at the time

I'm probably gonna keep those houses to just one or two neighborhoods tho

they're quite colorful...

[patent coral]

Replaced two buildings. One of them I felt was a biiiiit too iconic to LA. The other (the orange-ish building) is just to fill a bit more space

[sand raft]

U dont have MCM?

[patent coral]

what's MCM? 😟

[sand raft]

Mid Century Modern CCP

[patent coral]

I hadn't started downloading low density assets, probably downloaded like 100 low density residential and commercial a few hours ago 🥴

oh

No I don't

[sand raft]

Essential ameticanooo thingy

[crude mountain]

I love Monterey

[patent coral]

I have once again changed one of defining buildings of the downtown

I thought the one I chose was too wide and fat. Chose something slimmer. Still has a nice angle on the roof. I think I prefer that

[sand raft]

[lapis moat]

No problem

[lapis moat]

The ferry building is so iconic for this city

[patent coral]

Doing some detailing along the little creek, heavily inspired by the mission creek channel area near Oracle Park

[patent coral]

Not sure if I'm gonna keep that either lol, but I'm leaving it there until I work on that area

probably going to work on the waterfront soon

[crude mountain]

this area looks gentrified as hell

[lapis moat]

[stiff comet]

[patent coral]

This has already turned into my screenshot dump so I'll keep that going, don't mind me

[coarse lagoon]

This channel looks great

[sand raft]

Thats whats this for anyway

Also they all look great

Love the bridge and the rather flowing concrete. Highway looks like a river

[patent coral]

Thanks!

[fierce surge]

same map lol, but i change the layout and terrain. yours look pretty nice

[patent coral]

nice! Love to see it

You get so much more space just by removing the hills in the starting square 😄

[fierce surge]

yeah i don't like the middle hill that split off two spaces

[fierce surge]

it's because I want to find the best location for airport

[patent coral]

Haven't tried it yet

right now

I'll reload my save

[mint veldt]

Same Map as well but I messed around with the terrain and added some hills

it was an old city i abandoned. I switched over to working on Revelstoke which is also an awesome map

[patent coral]

Not bad. A bit shorter but it's cute. Should look better on the curves

has a little bell sound when it arrives and departs, that's cute

yes please, I scrolled a bunch of the workshop but couldn't find any as nice as those two I'm using. The pesa fokstrot one isn't even american at all 😄

no right now it's more decorative lmao

[mint veldt]

I havent experiemented with trams/streetcars yet. would it be realistic for an pittsburgh style city to have one?

[patent coral]

Has doors on the left side too so that's cool

[patent coral]

they used to have them, imo it wouldn't be unrealistic

[patent coral]

isn't that bay of plenty? 😯

[mint veldt]

Yes it is

[patent coral]

I was building on bay of plenty before. Great map

[mint veldt]

This is the current downtown, not sure if trams will fit well here

[patent coral]

building on my Monterey map now tho, doing a california-type city

[patent coral]

yeah that reminds me of pittsburgh a lot 😄

[mint veldt]

mhm i can see. although i'd use Marble Mountain

[mint veldt]

the layout for some part is a ripoff of pittsburgh

[patent coral]

Marble mountain is nice but the original map is imo too different from what $2.20 ended up creating during his marble mountain series 😄

oh!

[mint veldt]

$2.20 changes his map way too much during his series

[patent coral]

it looks nice but it's a bit low detail

[mint veldt]

Dundee downtown is hard to recreate as he terraformed a lot. Marble Mountain too

[patent coral]

yeah absolutely lol. He built on it for what, 2 years+ or something, so I think that's understandable 😄
His style and his taste probably changed a lot in the process

[patent coral]

oh yeah, oceania he changed a bunch of stuff right away

[mint veldt]

1st episode for Oceania i see like an cut where land got extended to the point it was nearly unrecognizable

[patent coral]

I was sticking with this one because it has really great details 😄

this one isn't too far behind

well that's my fault

I made a road with boarding on the right side as well but it was a tiny little bit too wide

I think this was the first one I made

so the pesa fokstrot tram would have worked there

thanks for these!

[mint veldt]

Trams for me

Dont mind the stairs to death

so are those good trams or not?

[patent coral]

They're loooong but they look nice

What are those trams?

I might look into adding an old-school tram in another area of the city at some point. I know SF still has a couple

yeah I figured they were probably french

Le bourget

oh yeah thanks!

yep yep, found it linked in the description 😄

thank you. Probably a bit too long for my city, but I do see a door on both sides 😳

[patent coral]

skyline

[mellow latch]

Heh. Also a north cali themed city

[wild bloom]

Have you seen Gaseous Stranger's Pittsburgh on YouTube, very realistic, you should check it out

[wild bloom]

I really like this, this is a fire build

[sand raft]

Beautiful trams but why are there only traffic cone alike props protecting the bike lane

[mint veldt]

Yes I have seen, in face some of my graphics are from him

[crude mountain]

Open discord
Monterey updates

dk why but I really like this city

wish there was a yt series on it

[crude mountain]

It's America, can't be too promising

Anything more would just be denying the citizens the freedom of running over bikers

(But also after looking, those aren't cones, they're proper pillars)

[patent coral]

america

[sand raft]

Ur city must be full of oil. Your post here is getting infiltrated

[sand raft]

Funnier is that Germanys bike gutters dont have any barriers

[fierce surge]

is there a central station??

[patent coral]

I think so

[sand raft]

Wheres your city

[patent coral]

not yet

[patent coral]

not yet, my rail is still just this

[fierce surge]

i am working on it , you should build one as well

[patent coral]

yes maybeeeee

[fierce surge]

it just looks better when the downtown area has railway network for me

never mind , i forgot you are building america city💀

[patent coral]

I might still add a small-ish train station close-ish to the downtown

[mellow latch]

SF has Salesforce Plaza now, which very well could host California HSR once it starts service

It’s a giant bus terminal now

[mint veldt]

wth is with america and buses. y'all american cities irl cant even have more than 2kmh at rush hour

why not invest in some metro that isnt crap and trains

[mellow latch]

Busses are far cheaper than tunneling a new metro tunnel or building train stations and rail

[mint veldt]

I mean yes that is true but tons of money is wasted on maintaining those damn roads and not investing in alternative forms of transport

[mellow latch]

many americans are extremely against any form of transit besides cars, don't ask me why because I have no idea

They will do anything to block public transit from being built, take Elon Musk's boring tunnel for example

it's sole purpose, combined with his hyperloop, was to derail California HSR

he has no actual plans to put either into the real world

[mint veldt]

I mean 203 billion spent on road maintainance is an real hog of tax money wasted

[patent coral]

I have once again changed the road. I think this might make a bit more sense

[mellow latch]

what LUT and render it settings are you running?

[patent coral]

So now the door on these trams is on the correct side lol, and the trams keep going straight even when there's a 3rd lane

[patent coral]

using Relight Neutral

[mellow latch]

ah thanks

[patent coral]

these might also help @mellow latch

using FXAA anti aliasing in Render It

the Citadis one was a biiit too long. I tried a couple of others but I still preferred the ones I'm using right now 😄

that's the one I tried I think

the one I'm using is like 2.5 cars

[mint veldt]

i run these citadis trams, their 4 cars which is somewhat short for me

[patent coral]

Although I think I'll try it again because I'm kind of not a huge fan of vehicles that use the line colors...

Anyway, wanted to post this lol

[mint veldt]

nice

[patent coral]

that one the teal+yellow livery is nice but I don't think it would fit here. And vehicles using line colors I don't really like 😄

This one?

that's the one I was referring to

yeah but I don't really like the colors 😄
And I don't want the trams to have line colors either 😟

I'm not a fan of having 5 differently colored trams personally, and then I take too long making sure the line color looks good on the tram, and then my line colors themselves look a bit messed up lol

Citadis Dualis

I've probably posted this view many times before but I like it...

[stiff comet]

[sand raft]

Love it 😊

and https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=2545073563

[spare gorge]

ah thank you

this will definently help with my port cities

[patent coral]

Not much work the past few days. Well, actually a lot of work but I scrapped all of it
So here are some pictures of trams

[patent coral]

This is the area I worked on today. It's kinda under developed but I guess that's the idea. Not sure if I really like it but it'll do for now at least 😄

Probably gonna work on this next. Will mostly be an area that was redeveloped into a park I think

[sand raft]

really liking this, u have any ideas about flooding protection though?

like NYC wants to make parks that work as flood walls?

[fierce ocean]

global warming in cs 🥴

[patent coral]

do you have some examples? I'm not really sure what that means concretely 😄

[sand raft]

yup, will post in a second

[fierce ocean]

those vanilla highways are bugging me but other than that looks so good

[patent coral]

Yeah same. I tried changing them to american highways, and I might still do that, but there are some interchanges that I'd like to keep and they looked much better with the vanilla highway I thought (because they're wider). But yeah I had the exact same thought when I took that screenshot

[sand raft]

these are elevated (they are taller than the rest around em)

[patent coral]

ohhhhh interesting!

haven't thought about that

[patent coral]

I don't know if I'll have the patience and motivation to design something like that 😂
But I'll keep it in mind, maybe I'll find something to make that work somewhere

[sand raft]

if u have a surface based water front (soil) u could just make small hills

otherwise well ud need custom plazas i guess

[patent coral]

yeah

[quaint epoch]

Stunning 🤩🤌🏻

[patent coral]

thanks!

[quartz umbra]

What palm tree asset did you use?

[patent coral]

Palms frome one of these https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2700780115
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1230846044

[mellow latch]

Cali Palms are really good quality but I've noticed too many of them can cause some lag

I use them on all my streets with grass medians

[patent coral]

I'll keep that in mind, I've been using a lot of them as well

[mellow latch]

🤣

[patent coral]

busy day so not much progress, but I worked on this little marina 😄

[sand raft]

So lovely 🥰

[patent coral]

thanks

[pale sparrow]

Beautiful

[patent coral]

thank you

[patent coral]

added some buildings. Not sure what to do in this area tho... And if I'm gonna keep that Ferry building, but I like it

[crude mountain]

I think the ferry building needs to be closer to the water no?

[patent coral]

yes if I wanted it to make sense, probably

[crude mountain]

also for between it and the parking lot to the left I'd say perhaps a small building

perhaps a newer one

[patent coral]

I might rework the quays there a little bit

[patent coral]

Yeah, I'll probably do something like that

thanks

I designed the waterfront and the quays before there were any buildings so the scale is a bit off 😄

[sand raft]

Get jet bridges

[patent coral]

reduced the size of the quays or whatever and replaced some of the buildings

[patent coral]

reduced the length of the pier warehouses as well. I think it's a bit better proportioned relative the the downtown now

[sand raft]

@patent coral no for real get jet bridges and place a cruise ship downsized as a ferry along the building so its boarding :)

[patent coral]

Hhhhmmmmmmm maybe

[fierce ocean]

imposter

[sand raft]

@fierce ocean no shitpost!!!!

[fierce ocean]

🗿

[patent coral]

This was a pain to build... Took me most of the day

but at least it somewhat functions, and I think clearance is okay everywhere...

inspired (copied) by an interchange near downtown LA

[scarlet nacelle]

Looking good so far mate. I'm also playing on the Monterey map but I think I've taken a totally different direction to you haha

How exactly did you make the quays on the waterfront? I learnt about these "terraforming" quays yesterday that you can draw a wall/fence against, is that how you did this? Or did you just put a terraforming road on the sea floor then draw the wall?

[patent coral]

Good to know! I'd be curious to see your city as well some time if you want to share 😄

[patent coral]

I made them using dock wall props, and ploppable asphalt surfaces. Takes a lot of patience to align them all properly. Before that tho I just used the basic road to design the layout. Once I had something I liked I went and finished it with the wall props and asphalt surfaces. You could probably use retaining wall networks instead of wall props too, would be much easier.
Also used some terraforming networks to make terraforming between and along the quays a bit easier

[fierce ocean]

Damn does that look delicious

[mint veldt]

i have a personal jealousy of this city

[patent coral]

Probably gonna work on the areas around the highway here because soon because it's looking a bit empty

[lapis moat]

Looking so good thus far

Im in love

Can I move in

How much is housing

[patent coral]

too expensive so far

[heavy flame]

nice skyline 👌

[patent coral]

thanks!

[patent coral]

started building a stadium

[crude mountain]

[sand raft]

I simp for traffic!!!

[sand raft]

Beautiful

[patent coral]

thanks

[patent coral]

cars

people

Ah yes the joys of trying to leave the parking lot at the end of a game

[lapis moat]

TRANSIT TO THE STADIUM PLEASEE

[patent coral]

I have a tram stop in front of it for now

I'll probably reduce the size of the parking lot around the stadium too

[mellow latch]

parking!

[patent coral]

😎

[mint veldt]

I barely even have parking for my stadium compared to y'all

that top part is just it

yeah im still working on the bridges dw

[coarse lagoon]

Great work !

[sand raft]

The truck

[sand raft]

Love how inefficient the exit is with one lane and 2 going into the Parking lot 🤣

[sand raft]

Btw Alex there are broken assets in the US and EU truck container pack. Check the list of broken mods thats a google doc. There are only a few .crp files broken so u would have to remove them by hand from the downloads

[sand raft]

Nice fit for the California plaza building 👍

[patent coral]

I decided I didn't really like this whole area near the bridge, where the stadium was, so I kinda changed everything there...

[sand raft]

Stadium dead

[patent coral]

stadium relocated
It's in a better location there imo, at least in terms of transit.
It's at a junction between 3 tram+bus roads, closer to downtown and existing parking garages

[patent coral]

Also thanks, I've deleted the crp files causing issues

[sand raft]

👍

[willow hazel]

Can you post an overview please?

[patent coral]

Only recent ''overview'' I have would be this. Otherwise I'm gonna post one tomorrow if I don't forget 😄

oops, I meant the image above lol

[willow hazel]

Very beautiful. I‘m following this post😃

[crude mountain]

Ya know I only just really took notice of this but I think its part of why I like this city as much as I do - the way you have this Canal or river, whatever it is separate the outer left side of the skyline from the rest, sort of making it its own small skyline, is really cool

[winged turtle]

Looks amazing, I would love to see a metro or trams in this city, it would give it a more "downtown" look.

[patent coral]

I have trams ;)
Public transit network is still very much a WIP

[winged turtle]

:o

[scarlet pumice]

This is amazing

[crude mountain]

definitely need to see some development on that seaside park

paths going to that statue

have it be a little square with brnches n such

[patent coral]

true

[coarse lagoon]

Beautiful !! I think that now there is the need also of a seaside leisure district, with maybe a panoramic wheel !

[patent coral]

could be an idea for the waterfront towards the right here. I was gonna make a park there anyway

[patent coral]

I took your advice

[coarse lagoon]

Yes, it seems a great place ! In fact I was thinking at that location, cause I saw that it was empty in the last photos

[crude mountain]

looks good

[scarlet nacelle]

Ah yeah, the quays I mentioned basically let you draw an "invisible" quay that automatically places a bunch of ploppable asphalt+ tiles along it so the only bit left is to draw the wall. Only good for flat surfaces though. Here's a workshop link if it's of any interest to you 🙂 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2012295807

[scarlet nacelle]

I tried to get the big fell / mountain in the background for a visual reference but I've started upriver. I'm planning to build a city centre between this "old town" and the docks area. And it's definitely going to be a traffic nightmare like real English cities. Need to sort the train lines out tho, I've made a bottleneck for the sake of a pretty bridge I think...

[patent coral]

those look really nice! Thanks for sharing

[patent coral]

Nice! I've thought about starting in that area too, I think that's a pretty good spot to build, even if it's a bit close to the edge. Looking good too

[scarlet nacelle]

Np, I use quays a lot because I'm lazy haha. Tbh my usual go-to is to just draw them all normally then use node controller to get a 90 corner instead of rounded. I set the node type to custom then drag them all the way over. It does leave a very small gap though if you zoom in. A bit quicker than dragging the nodes over each other in Move It! and adjusting the heights. Some quays you gotta mess with the offsets too much tho so it's better to just do the latter. Your marina looks wicked btw.

[patent coral]

then use node controller to get a 90 corner instead of rounded

I do the same thing

[feral herald]

I feel like I need to change my username, b/c I keep getting @'d instead of you

[mint veldt]

It was coincedental, not on purpose, please dont kill me for nearly making your stack

[mellow latch]

I love how the interchange is nearly as big as your grid so far 😂

oh btw that second highway parallel to the bigger one with a stack interchange is an modified layout of the Bayshore Rte in Tokyo

this is pretty much the only one I have that's recent

I haven't worked on the city for a couple of weeks

[pale sparrow]

👍x1000

[lapis moat]

Just to ask, how did you make your city so filled with Concrete, like what asset did you use, also what Planters did you use for the trees that break up the massive concrete areas that I circled

[patent coral]

Surface Painter, paiting pavement
And Landscaping Blocks I think they're called for the planters

And I'm using palm trees and ultra low-poly trees

[lapis moat]

Surface Painter? A Mod?

[patent coral]

Yeah

[lapis moat]

and then its called Paiting Pavement within that

[patent coral]

You'll see a couple of textures you can paint. Pavement is one of them

[lapis moat]

Oh its just called Pavement LOL

but I thought Surface Painter was broken, an deprecated

[patent coral]

It was recently updated by bloodypenguin

And there was a fixed version of that mod before that

[lapis moat]

ahhh

[lapis moat]

@patent coral Did you ever put like a custom park/playground in your city? Cuz I'd like to know what you did to emulate the "Kid-Friendly" Ground, cuz u know how parks have that kid friendly surface

I like what I've made here but I don't think I'm going to continue working on Monterey. There were some issues where cims would gather and wait forever at inexistent tram stops that I tried to fix for many hours but I wasn't able to. So that kinda made me lose motivation to work on this.

I've always kinda wanted to make more of a european-styled city, but with some american/modern influences too. Something like Frankfurt for example, with some skyscrapers, and looking at road networks (historical and modern) of Europe, train lines and train stations, etc.
I've never really played with more than buses and one or two metro/tram lines before so I think that would be cool.

Would also give me an opportunity to start fresh with mods and assets as well 😄
