A free 50k, in addition to the normal starting capital, at the beginning is huge. It's possible to max out the first playable area very quickly. This is a section of a 50k population city I made using only roundabouts with this strat: + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/VUEAyQE.jpg) | ||

1. Right now I really hate some of the driving AI. I know how it works in general, but still some of the ways it acts is sheer stupidity, especially involving one-ways into one-ways or other roads without crossing any traffic. 2. Related to #1, no special attributes customizable for road sections such as no right/left turns, no U-turns, no traffic signals. Optionally even individual lane customization (namely turning) would be really useful, although probably more work than the previous. 3. I dislike the subway and transit management at the moment. It is difficult to keep track of routes, and destroying rote makes it especially annoying for bus routes. Individual route stats would be very useful as well. 4. I dislike that parks need to be placed by roads and have power, as well as the inability to place ponds (which could act like parks maybe). 5. I really wish there was a way to reverse the traffic flow direction of one-way roads. It can be very expensive to build certain one-way routes and/or a ton of extra work compared to the other way, or even impossible. 6. No "hold to demolish" hotkey as far as I know. A Marquee style demolish would be useful as well. edit: missed one: 7. I really hate the excessive unavoidable snap-to-nearest all the time. It's great that it exists, but sometimes I really want to ignore the snap-to-nearest, especially when doing something like curved roads. Having shift or alt or ctrl do anything in this game (namely quick bulldoze, ignore snap-to-nearest, or something like auto-align with nearby) would be really appreciated. | ||

If they made the driving AI better that would be great though... I've spent a good hour trying to clear an intersection before throwing my hands up and just razing it and slapping down a roundabout. For #4, I think pedestrian paths make it so you can stick parks wherever. For #5, i agree. one way roads are a total PITA to build. I wish the upgrade function just converted one road type to another instead of only making them bigger. | ||

For most of the other stuff there are mods available or under way. Check the Steam workshop or browse http://www.reddit.com/r/CitiesSkylinesModding and http://www.reddit.com/r/CitiesSkylines The amount of mods that exist only one week after release is simply imcredible. | ||

Yeah I know. It's sorta preliminary nitpicking. I didn't know there were stats when a route is selected though. I've selected them before and seen the color thing, but didn't notice stats (only weekly passengers for each transport system).

I haven't tested, but I don't think so (the message says must be placed on roads). That said, you can get a park to work with just power and walking paths to it though, and delete the road that was next to it. The problem then is that garbage will build up though. There is a bug(?) where overpasses on top of a building will work for garbage collection though. I've seen someone do it with a cargo train station; and I had it work with a park as well, but it's tedious and generally pointless since it's usually even worse than building it beside a road unless you have really intricate and convenient positioning underneath existing raised freeways or something. I guess even without any garbage collection nor road connection, it still might offer some benefit; I haven't checked. | ||

i have no demands, city wont grow :/ edit: i think its education, i have 1% uneducated. i ran out of oil and ore from the their industrial districts so i changed it to forest. it got filled up but ended with worker problems. i changed all to office and they seem to fill up slowly but at the moment my RCI is no residential, no commercial and 1 pixel bar of industry. population is rising slowly. | ||

Not sure what is happening to you, you'll have the wonders at 80k pop but without demand it's hard =) Perhaps your city isn't attractive enough ? | ||

I really just wish i could just get rid of traffic signals in lots of places. | ||

I had similar problem, not enough uneducated workers to work in industry so I just closed some schools and left one open. That way I have enough workforce in all categories. It's really annoying that cims will travel all across whole city if you have public transport, to get educated, so the only way to control that is to reduce the available schools. | ||

It's the American dream of bettering yourself. "Back in my day, I walked across the entire damn city to get to elementary school because the one in front of my house was closed. After I graduated, I quit my job at the factory." | ||

Road variety is somewhat lacking, or just more control over traffic like a way to forbid turning in a specific crossroad. They decided to keep it simple, but at least there are mods. | ||
