When I said I had a minecart design, I meant for the (largely bad) roads.
Oh man... sorry about that. But in the roads we can simply place and push our minecart until the closest booster rail, and destroy it when we reach our destiny. There's no need for slopes.
Don't know, maybe until tomorrow, to complete one day of voting.

Its also with turning corners, and I also am working on a thing where at the hub, you choose your destination, and then it sneds you there, and then you can take it back to the hub, then go back etc.
I'll probably use the whole 8 hours, because I'll expand the city.

Hey UFlapjack... why is Ark Station not there anymore?
I think it would be good to have 3 west-east stations at least, being one in the middle where Ark Station was! Its a long way to walk from either one to the Regal Tower or my brick building for example...
ahhh!!! this thing has gotten so BIG. ok ok, next time it comes around its mine!. i have time tonight unlike all the others. im gonna add the first ark burger and work on the foundation of ArkB Corp.
RETURNED
(link down below)
-----------------------------------------------
Change log:
Expanded city... urbanformed some areas, made some roads (thanks UFlapjack for schematics)
Moved Creepers Stadium further south
Moved firestation/bakery-butchery into the commercial district
I'd ask Genie Ooze help in curving the commercial area canals, and maybe working on the Central Park like you did with the Corner Park, making some rest areas, jog paths(not using wood this time), lamps/benches etc.
There are some questions in the image above that I'd like to hear the answers (like where will be residential, slums or chinatown etc...)
I didnt have time to make roads in the Diamond hills so people can build their mansions... maybe next time I take the save.
And sometime soon I'll have to expand the chunks further west where I reserved the area for my Airport.

you return when i cant take it *sigh*
just reserve 2 spots, one for arkburger corp building and one for an arkburger. that would be a huge help.
and i say the closest one to the city is chinatown
Man Arkhangels, things are looking FANTASTIC! I am ready to get back to work now as I have been out of town. Peirce Tower is almost done, and I will start on Minehatten Paper Co. and LD Security Inc. Also I guess I will start building my mansion :wink.gif:

It looks good!
I think the casinos should be next to the airport, because usually higher class stuff is nearer to the airport, cities don't like tourist's first impression as they leave the airport to be of slums :tongue.gif:.
Slums could be just below the industrial district, and the rest looks ok, chinatown could be below the commercial district where you labeled casinos.
Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
I'm building Manhattan (Phase 1 complete)Check it out!
It was expected that some kid would *try to* do such thing sooner or later... I'd ask Genie and kantk to remove those screnshots and comments because that's the attention he wants. Let's just move on.... :smile.gif:
And I agree with kantk about the slums being in the way to the airport are not right, so lets worry about that later.
And Chinatown will be south of the commercial center, as suggested.
Taken. I'm going to expand the subway and continue on the streets.
EDIT: Ok, I'm a little confused. Who cloned my building (the lapiz apartment block next to the church)? And who built the giant ball of lava behind the church?
I'm using bmwplz's save and the WTC is fine but ... huh?
Yeah, when I was working on the save I saw that your building was duplicated but I thought that did it yourself... So I didn't say anything.
If you can, please move the lava fountain to the right of the PIG statue, because it's a decorative build (no practical use).
And again I ask you, why is Ark station not there anymore? IMO a station in the middle of the main avenue would be convenient! :sad.gif:
This is my concept for the subway map:
The N-S lines (vertical in the image) would be tunnels below the W-E ones...
and every station would have to be duplicated in two levels... to create that grid pattern we discussed... you want to travel N-S, you go downstairs to the bottom level of the station... you want to travel W-E you go upstairs (Unless there's a way to do it with one single level)
If it will be two-leveled there is one station there that would have a 'slope' connecting the WE and NS tunnels, the one that is exclusively corner, and not intersection... (the southwest one)
Townhall and the one close to Hadies' parking lot, even though they are corners right now, would be expanded north and west (under West Tan Bridge)
Yes, I noticed that as well. It looks like it was Tman (sp?) who cloned my building. I don't mind much but it would have been nice if he had asked. I'm just going to carry on with bmwplz's save.
I didn't clone any buildings. I took the save but then untook it because I messed up a chunk... (i didn't upload anything.)
Don't know, maybe until tomorrow, to complete one day of voting.
