There sure are some pretty big skyscrapers in the downtown area! The tallest residential tower is home to 200 people.

You can see the semi-sunken passenger station in the middle with 5 lines curving off in each direction. Just for fun, I built the “freight yard” you can see towards the upper-right corner. Only two tracks are actually used, the rest are purely decorative.

The view from my favorite train-watching spot:

There are a lot of DualStox in service by this time.

And a lot of DualStox arriving means lots and lots of passengers. It doesn’t matter how many trams or buses you try to add, they can’t handle this crowd!

Below is a shot of the town back in 1925 shortly after I finished modifying the terrain and adding the stations. Sure has changed a lot in the intervening 125 years.

I’d love to have that kind of traffic with a big fleet of Flirt trains. 😀

Are the trains going point to point? Or multi station?

But the game kind of suport it badly, but its probobly doable.

I still think its bad that there is no underground stations… But you can sort of make under ground run up.

Could you possibly elaborate a little bit about how you modified the terrain ?

Thank you very much on forehand and congrats with your fantastic Metropolis ! 🙂

Cheers,

my spec

Windows 7 64

AMD 6300 3.6 ghz (overclocked)

R9270x

8 gig ram.

 

why does the game run so bad? I have all settings on Low although with my spec I should be able to run on high, I can run on high with a solid 60 early game but once I have around 100 vehicles and the Cars start spawning, its game over I end up rage quitting its so laggy. I tried on a medium map and the same happened too, might try small next :/

I’ve gotten close in my games but gotten bored of replacing vehicles and quit each time.

Also, i disagree with the way the load/unload pax currently badly mucks up train timings and ends up bunching them up, making the problem worse and worse.

I have a new goal though seeing your city.  Thanks for sharing.
