the waiting is called 'popcorn theory'. that residential builds, creating demand for clusters of commercial or industrial which build a few months later, which make demand for residential, which build a few months later... each small growth is like popcorn popping. if everything is high density and it has the infrastructure (mainly power and water but to an extent transport) it will pop to maximum density, which is about 100,000 people per km^2 (in game size, in other words the maximum zone size for simcity 4, which is also 1/2 the side length of a small tile, 1/4 side length of a medium tile). My old theory was set up 2 'splots' (that size area) or residential bordered by 2 splots of industrial. enough power and water to boot, as well as hospitals and schools, and a rough subway system (ignoring roads completely). letting it grow to 150K then adding 2 splots of commercial and an airpoprt, as well as actual transport options, would provide me with a large sustainable city quickly utilising popcorn theory =P

I love your minimalistic thumbnails and intros lol

Put some seasonal ashes and chessnuts cause they look pretty awesome ;). But already 26 epi's and still not done with this plot of land. Still great work Strict.

IIRC there are some mods that are part of NEXL that allow you to plot bus stops that are a part of roads as opposed to a tile unto themselves. I've meant to use them in my games and keep forgetting, even though I'm certain they are vastly superior in functionality, aesthetics, and even realism.

You deserve a lot more support. Great work!

Finally I watched every episode of this series and I'm all caught up. Absolutely loving River Crossing. I can't wait to see your next video.

It developed high tech industries because it's not high density or low density industrial when you choose the zoning tool, but farms, dirty industrial (or something like that) and high tech industrial.

Have my sub! I love finding good simcity players doing videos for utube

I was wondering when you where doing a new SC4 episode, almost thought you stopped this series. :)

Work and shopping areas and high density residential have parking structures, Med Res/Comm parking lots.

So I've often had trouble getting my industrial to actually use freight stations (usually because they've been able to ship out just fine on the local roads). Is that large freight station you spent a whole episode on actually seeing use by local business?

I think you have bricks texture for this apartment building zone, get rid of these trees there! put some bricks

How do you get abandoned buildings to appear darkened? I cannot find a MOD for it or a setting in the game.

Why do you have the noise barrier on the industrial park's side?

Oil refinery will not fit into this rural enviroment, got quetly massif airpolution. Some gas stations would be realistic, there a nice collection on STEX an LEX growable and plopable, even a hydrogene one. Maybe a extra rail station can be iadded n the industrial area. Noise reduction hasn´t been a area i´d looked over thorough. Mod list does help, still wondering about the Pay Parking lots mod you use, could you direct me to the site wher these are or give the name, i,v been looking at this for sometime !

What's the name of the tree mod?

Can i see how is your badget going in the game?

You never checked your water, not on camera at least.....
