hello

[crimson mica]

Big Great Lakes feeling.

[safe swift]

love the autumn with this

[wicked coral]

from far it looks lie philadelphia

nice work

[static quail]

thanks

[hardy kraken]

looks really nice how did you get the lighting to look so good?

is that just from the picture mode?

[static quail]

Yes!

[crimson mica]

Actually, I agree with the other guy now, this looks incredibly Philly.

[safe swift]

beautiful

[static quail]

😉

[slender roost]

Very nice map

[true summit]

I seriously thought some of the screenshots were Google Earth. Even for CS2 that's impressive!

[static quail]

Thanks 😄

Is it too much? 😅

[crimson mica]

Too much what?

[static quail]

The number of metro

[grizzled venture]

Proper northern-central US feel to this. Gives me Illinois-Michigan-Ohio vibes. Love it.

Or Philly yes. Rust-belt north-eastern-midwestern. Definitely.

[crimson mica]

No, it’s pretty good.

[static quail]

🥰

[static quail]

Thanks 👍

[crimson mica]

A little critique, subway lines here in the U.S. usually aren’t grade level. Often they’re underground or elevated. Sometimes sunken too.

[static quail]

Actually, the subway was inspired by Japan a bit...sry 😢

[sturdy flint]

did you use the britain low density for these low density houses?

[crimson mica]

I am curious, what city is your main inspiration? We've all been saying Philadelphia and Great Lakes, but I remember you also had a New York based one too.

[static quail]

The city center is based on Philadelphia! The outskirts are modeled after several cities in the eastern United States, but New York City is the most heavily influenced.

[crimson mica]

Finally, representation.

[static quail]

Used in low-density housing in Britain and the western United States.

[static quail]

I'm not sure if the translation is correct 😅

[crimson mica]

Oh, you said translation, not transition.

My bad

You're English is apparently much better then mine.

[static quail]

lol

But that's interesting! Thanks

[solid raven]

Not necessarily subways, but third-rail powered lines are never at grade with a road or pedestrian crossing. The few subway lines that have overhead power sometimes run in mixed traffic, even if some call them streetcars.

[crimson mica]

Yeah, that’s what I meant. I always think of MTA or something whenever I hear subway, but I forgot about Philly’s Surface-Subway system.

[solid raven]

One of my bigger issues with cs2 is how much effort is required to make a unique subway/metro system. Without many mods you can’t make underground tram stops and for whatever reason subway tracks have terrible mechanics

[neon inlet]

What’s the map?

[static quail]

Corral Riches

[strong cliff]

LIRR has some major at grade portions with third rail

[solid raven]

does the third rail actually cross the road

[strong cliff]

it doesnt how would vehicles cross

well im not familiar with cs2

i wouldnt consider buying it until it has a good amount of paradox mod custom assets

or has a steam workshop

[inner coral]

I am in live with ur map. Do u use lumina or sth. Ulr colors are amazing realsitic

[steady bone]

I legit thought this is Real Life 💀

[neon inlet]

Do you use lumina? And also is your level of detail high low or medium or very low

[torn timber]

this is what i aim to build it looks great

[grizzled fiber]

Guess all of them are car oriented cities(?) 🤔

[crimson mica]

Not really. I mean this person’s built a huge subway system in their city.

[static quail]

Sorry I haven't been able to reply because I've been busy.😅 Yes! I am using Lumina, and the LOD is probably maxed out.

[static quail]

That's right, there are about 15 subway lines. lol

There are a lot of unnecessary routes.. 😅

I made it because I wanted to see a lot of trains running.

[stray tinsel]

What are your photo/lumina settings? This is stunning

[atomic locust]

This city is fire 🔥

[sturdy flint]

i am also begging for this

cant get my city to look better than a saturated mess lol

[torpid notch]

that airport interchange is crazy

[torn timber]

joining in on asking for this

[frail holly]

Whats this asset

[calm surge]

thats peak, i want to learn to build like you

[ripe light]

This reminds me of Jamaica station on lirr

[toxic cape]

@fringe steppe

opinions on this

it used to have a complete loop around

i'm deciding on what to do next

[fringe steppe]

holy schmoley

[fringe steppe]

all is well and good but i feel like this could be a cloverleaf or just more efficient generally, if possible

of course i'm not that good at such things but its what i think

also you could smoothen this out

[fringe steppe]

maybe make some terraformed islands here and make it cool there?

[solid raven]

A stack is more efficient than a clover but a clover would be better here realistically because of lower costs and the ramps could be very large with the space

[toxic cape]

Yeah I thought about that, maybe il settle smaller cities on the other side

[toxic cape]

Yeah Its going to be extremly busy in the future

Ima keep building at that side, theres alredy an airport and I want a cargo port terminal and big industrial

I really like the New Jersey-Bew York Area

[toxic cape]

Yep ill do

[toxic cape]

Is because that im going to be expanding more to that side in the future

Mostly

But a cloverleaf would look sick

[fringe steppe]

Hell yeah

[calm surge]

fill some empty space far away from downtown with suburban neighborhoods or gated communities with a slight curved road in it

just a tip, i am not saying you should do it

[toxic cape]

yup

[gloomy grotto]

Just letting you know. Most rail systems do a hub spoke network
