@aeva dammit I don't have time to play Skylines again but now I want to 😅

[estelle@mstdn.social]

@aeva you can get more educated workers before the appropriate unlock by exploiting libraries accessible by mass transit,

[aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@estelle interesting. I will give that a try. One of the ways my cities fall apart in this game is I end up with a well educated general population and then don't have enough uneducated workers. If I build a transit accessible library instead of a college, will that result in fewer highly educated workers?

@aeva I prefer my cities to come with boss music :3

[estelle@mstdn.social]

@aeva oh

to answer your question, yes,

but the need for such workers is proportional to the development level of the sector in question, which is determined by service coverage

...but i usually just accept that i will have doctors plowing fields and this works out fine for me?

[estelle@mstdn.social]

@aeva it may not be enough, or it might, i'm not sure, but my understanding of how library works is that any citizen can choose randomly to go there, and regardless of whether or not they're in the phase of life to attain a normal education, it can educate them by one level

so, you can indeed end up with highly educated without a university, but the numbers aren't particularly high

[estelle@mstdn.social]

@aeva depending on which dlcs you may or may not have, there can also be ways of zoning industries to require higher educated workers

so if for some reason you need to absorb a large number of them, you can zone these somewhere and make sure everyone can reach them

[aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@estelle I don't suppose any of the expansions have a low capacity university

[aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place]

I appear to have run out of money while attempting to upgrade shit creek #AevaForMayor #CitiesSkylines

[estelle@mstdn.social]

@aeva you can tax 29% with no negative consequences for precisely as long as it takes between then and the first people complaining about it

[aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place]

a city builder game like #CitiesSkylines, but instead of being about building and unclogging perpetual traffic jams, it's about flooding #Chicago basements with poop every time it rains

[aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@estelle meh, I just took out a loan and fixed it

[aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place]

I wonder how bad this game would fall apart if you built a city as a single space filling curve with no intersections

[ratsnakegames@mastodon.social]

@aeva someone on Youtube tried (Valefisk?)

[oblomov@sociale.network]

@aeva just make sure it's the Moore kind that joins first to last

[aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@ratsnakegames well what happened

[ratsnakegames@mastodon.social]

@aeva it went about as well as you'd expect

[aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@ratsnakegames I don't know what to expect

[aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@ratsnakegames that is why I am wondering
