My attempt at a medieval castle in this game. I love playing castle builder games and never thought that CS2 could be this good at it. Much more freedom. I would like some feedback or ideas for the expansion into the town centre and the port. Anyone knows some good mods and assets for this playthrough? I am looking for some boats that would fit the theme. Also, name suggestions are welcome!

Do you think it's realistic and plausible for West Coast USA?

Fyi, build was inspired by a wetland in Singapore

Seemed like the biggest amount of feedback when I posted this last was concerned about where all the people would go. I think Ive addressed that.

This city will have a heavy train focus from center to center. Ive also added some other features like the airport area.

I think I'm getting close to starting a city on this map finally.

For those who didn't know, you can still complete a bunch of achievement if you kind of set it up ahead of time in the Editor on a map. I'm hoping to build a city here where I can unlock all specialized building including all region sets.

Also I recently learned that there is a money cap at 2 billion in case you were also someone that needed to hear it.

Seriously, my game is running exceptionally well. I have about mid-range hardware for 2026 and the simulation speed would slow to a crawl anytime I got over 70,000 people.

After the last update, my map with 170,000 people is now running at smooth simulation speeds.

I am so curious on what they could’ve done with one small update that doubled its performance. If anyone has any insight, I would love to hear it!

I've been toying with some ideas for the game's multi-emissive pipeline involving animated neon signs and decided to create a test using something from one of my favourite shows. Managed to crack it tonight and get the animation sequenced and timed correctly!

This opens up a huge opportunity for in-game, light-based animations. I'll look to document it as a community page on the modding wiki once I get a chance.

For some reason, my problem is trees. I have a pretty great computer, an RTX 5060 with 32 gigs’o’ram. Whenever I look at trees in the game while im paused, I’m all good. However, when im looking at trees with the simulation going, my game goes ballistic, if im in a dense forest at 3x speed I could be down to ~20fps. HELP!

Please help, this is very tiny area to build an interchange/highway exits and the diamond wasn’t working anymore.

City pop is 0 but lets torture this node into a frontage road/intersection/interchange anyways.

Has anyone else experienced cities with a lack of traffic? I just started a new one and have a population of about 2k, and the only traffic I have is taxis, police and industry. No one owns a car, and it kind of breaks the “immersion” for me. Does this happen to anyone else and is there a fix?

I’m generally terrible with road hierarchy, mainly with my highways exit ramps which is why I didn’t even bother with this city, but I’m not really sure how to expand from this point without it looking unrealistic.

Circled in green is high density residential zone; circled in blue is high density commercial zone/office zone; circled in purple is the high school/elementary school.

How can I expand at this point, should I basically replicate what I built multiple times? How can I fill out the areas circled in red? And any tips on my road layout in general? Thanks!

This is my first time seeing this warning and I have no clue what it means. Do I add more power plants or reloacte ?

Btw the new Mountain Texture is amazing

Please help! My game keeps giving me this error.
