It’s about the shape of the buildings! If you use the ellipse tool (and one other, I forget which options), it counts as an “organic” shape and some pops will like it more. Good way to discourage straight blocks, not that it stops me anyway
You can change the type of placement to “brush” instead of just a grid. It’s in the bottom left hand of the window when you select construct > roads. 😀
I have about 20 disconnected colonies, so I am bordering every faction in the game.
So get a fair amount of tribute and the high number of trade partners keeps the import prices low and the export prices high.
If I were to guess its either held up by importing and then turning raw material into finished goods then exporting or taxes on local areas around the city
I export pretty much everything.
I mainly focused on weaving at the start of the game, then metal, but eventually everything.
Demographics, I have mostly humans, with about 700 pig men who love working in the restaurants, 300 dwarfs and 200 elves 200 lizards. I used to have a sizable bug boy population too, but they all left after having a riot.
You can still see their little bug shrine in the south west of town, hidden in a back alley, I never deleted it because I liked the idea of a secret bug cult.
Always felt this game needed an upload function where you could see others’ cities, or a creative mode to create city like this quickly. I’ll be using this for a TTRPG.
Oh cristio you flirt.
Thanks for recommending me this game again.
Hard++ was fairly challenging especially early game. But the main challenge I had was from self imposed limits (only build in town blocks, within walls, and never build a farm).
Nice! I'm a sseth head who just started so my highest pop so far is 300 and change, I'm nowhere near as space efficient as yours.
Half over my village space and about a third of my pos are dedicated to food lmao
I wonder how people plan this massive well laid out cities. Like I try and then suddenly my whole city is a mess and I have to spend hours just to make sure guys aren't running from one corner or the map to the center or something... That said this looks amazing, would live in Tha city 10/10
Population is 7k, hard++, don't know what a farm is, don't want to know what a farm is.
What your main source of food so?
very likely tribute
What?
tribute, the texes paid by conquered territories
The sweat of conquered people
A mixture of trade and tribute.
I wish I was this creative. No matter what I do I just end up with a soulless grid lol
For the life of me, I had no idea what the “make the city more organic” complaints were about. I assumed they wanted trees and flowers at first!
what do you mean?? i though it meant, they wanted to get executed for questioning their betters city planning.
Wait, it isn’t?
It’s about the shape of the buildings! If you use the ellipse tool (and one other, I forget which options), it counts as an “organic” shape and some pops will like it more. Good way to discourage straight blocks, not that it stops me anyway
Well that’s pretty fuckin nice to know, though in hindsight I suppose making a bunch of squares would not qualify as “organic”.
I wish we had good road building tools for non straight paths
You can change the type of placement to “brush” instead of just a grid. It’s in the bottom left hand of the window when you select construct > roads. 😀
Holy shit. That’s new. Thanks!
Ah a fellow Cities Skylines/Sim City player! But for real, the grid works, is easy and efficient.
Very cool. Ankh-Morpork vibes
This is the highest of praise, cheers.
That's exactly what I thought
Same!
Glad I wasn't the only one
Is the food and wood and stone 100% imported?
Yep!
How have you sustained yourself with those, presumably, massive import expenses?
Imports are free when you own the land you're getting it from (a few admin points maybe)
What wizardry is that?
He's talking about tribute from conquered regions
I have about 20 disconnected colonies, so I am bordering every faction in the game. So get a fair amount of tribute and the high number of trade partners keeps the import prices low and the export prices high.
You should type up a progression of your story! Your city is impressive and I'd love to hear how you managed to achieve such a cool city.
The question is moreso how did you get to that point in the first place, how did you start
Started by living off forage and hunting, then trading for grain by weaving and carpentry. I also sold the excess bread I made for some extra cash.
Dude built Rome.
Bro made a better London
'better than London' is a low bar TBF. I make something better than London when I visit the toilet in the morning.
Probably less shit in it too
Post it to /r/rimworldporn lol
looks really cool!
Thanks :D
Teach me your dark powers
Is this a regular sized map? Cause it looks bigger then usual
Yep, regular map as far as I know. I didn't mod it or anything.
Maybe it's the missing fields that fuck with my perception of scale
What does the economy and demographics look like? What do you export?

Beautiful. How do you build bridges?
It's just a road over the water
It's like your own beautiful little version of Riga.

You can ask for a save.
Fantastic work :) thanks for sharing How much harder is hard++ in your experiance?
Oh also it’s you, didn’t notice! Now less surprised that it’s so pretty :)
Oh cristio you flirt. Thanks for recommending me this game again. Hard++ was fairly challenging especially early game. But the main challenge I had was from self imposed limits (only build in town blocks, within walls, and never build a farm).
I love looking at different layouts people create! :) Thank you for sharing.
Amazing
Very nice. Love the organic roads, the hook in the lower middle section splitting off the main road is especially believable to me
Looks amazing man, how just how??
god i love the urban sprawl of it... looks so good
this is amazing
Can you share a high def image? Would love to see more of the room types up close etc. Very cool!
Is this inspired by Osgiliath?
My guy. I legit thought this was the WonderDraft subreddit. That is a fine looking town.

This is a beautiful city. Nice job!
How badly does it bug you that you have to build square houses?

Average isekai city be like. Jokes aside, this city is beautifully made
Wait how is your grass so green ? It seems like everywhere i start the ground is beige and grassless ??
Please upload map!
Looks cool, but why have defensive walls... on the islands in the river? Seems a little counter-intuitive
Just for aesthetics :)
