The one thing I miss from simcity was the stream of construction vehicles that  came with every zoning expansion. It was really neat watching them drive out, set up, build your stuff and depart. And then the moving vans. It really made the place feel a bit alive seeing them move in to new zones or after you fix some issue that was causing abandonment.

That does sound pretty cool.

Is there a way to intersect fresh water and sewage pipes?  Or do I have to design around that limitation?

It all runs through the same pipes. No need to separate them. Think of the pipe as a set of pipes for both fresh and foul water.

[Mephansteras]

So...general consensus is that this is worth getting?

[dennislp3]

I like it and I think it has a fair price point

If you zoom in close enough the pipe graphics split into two pipes.

I just woke up and saw that it released today. I looked at the steam page and the reviews are apparently "Overwhelmingly Positive" which I don't think I have ever seen before. 1698 positive versus 53 negative.

I may actually pick this up at some point, even though I've never trusly played one of these kinds of games myself.

*facepalm*

My designs and redesigns of the water system are probably the reason my village doesn't have a highschool.  No refunds from demo'ing pipes.

I'm having performance issues, on Acer Aspire 5830g, (8GB RAM, GeForce GT 540M, 1024 MB RAM, i5 2,4 GHz). Very low FPS, even on low details Is this a known issue with my graphic card or something, or my laptop just sucks?

[umiman]

Shouldn't have problems, have you updated your drivers?

[Lucidvizion]

Minimum spec CPU for the game is Intel Core 2 Duo, 3.0GHz.  Core 2 Duo is old though... I'm not sure how that benchmarks against i5.

There does seem to be a few people having a variety of performance and graphical issues - it seems a fair amount of them relate to laptops and the game trying to use the integrated graphics instead of the dedicated GPU.  I dunno the details as I'm on a desktop with no issues myself, but might be worth checking their forums etc.

Your problem is that GT 540M most likely. Geforce gaming graphics cards start at X50 (IE 550, 650)

The minimum requirements call for a GTX 260 video card which is about ~25% stronger than your card when it comes to rendering power

You are ABSOLUTELY SURE it's making use of your 540M, and NOT your Intel IGPU? I have a gaming laptop with an Nvidia card and, like many games, I had a bit of trouble getting Nvidia to recognize it. It runs okay on my 660M (30 FPS and medium detail at 1080p) but when it used my Intel GPU, I got a HORRIBLE performance (10FPS and minimum detail, 720p) that leads me to believe this game has a driver problem with Intel GPUs, above and beyond the fact that Intel GPUs are bad. Just make extra sure it's running on your Nvidia card though.



Ninja Edit: Or yeah, maybe your card's too crappy, if that doesn't work.
