So that goes back to PTTG then!

The year of hell

I'm not sure what happened.

It started with HAHAHAHAHA district suddenly deciding that maximum land value wasn't good enough. Soon enough everyone had moved out. It's a terminal death spiral...

I'll put up the record later.

Oh man, I look forward to the playthrough.  HAHAHAHAHAHAHA is mostly commercial/offices, so if a chunk of the population left it would have caused a crash in the demand, which may have caused a chunk of the population to leave, etc.

Yeah if there is kind of something that must suck for some people in this game... Is when the turn consists entirely of cleaning up the mistakes of the previous player :P

Yeah, but I deserve it. What goes around comes around.

Well! Let's take a look at my city!
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Oh.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Hmmm.

Maybe this is because there's no ore and nobody works there? Well, the handful of people who work there are just pulling jobs away from other parts of the city. Well, everything is abandoned or else has no employees. I'll tear it down and see if we can get something better going over here.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Well, this IS nice. Overkill, but simple at least.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Yeah, this is a definite blight on the city. The rest of it's all maximum land value!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
This is really confusing me. They're shipping stuff PAST the station that's inside the mutant district to load it over here and... wait...
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Yeah, they're driving through this tree just to get the trucks in.

Meanwhile...
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Wait, what?
WHY?
THIS IS MAXIMUM LAND VALUE.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
It's most of the city! This doesn't make any sense!
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
It's quiet!
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
You're happy!
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
You're right next to the hospital!
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
There's no traffic!
Spoiler: ungrateful bastards (click to show/hide)

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Someone's been installing trick tracks.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Not sure what to do here

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
I haven't done anything to you!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Apparently living on the same block as a world-famous modern art museum is an unbearable burden.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
The exodus has commenced

Spoiler: COME BAAAAACK (click to show/hide)
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
THIS MAKES NO SENSE! There's tens of thousands of people who hate their houses so much that they're willing to move out, and nobody is willing to move in despite the massive labor shortage? They're paying $100/hour for fry cooks!
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
People are literally dying from low land value. Whaaaat. Well, at least it's more manageable than the last couple of death waves.
Spoiler: OH COME ON (click to show/hide)

Most of the city has hollowed out, and now people are willing to live here again. Maybe the massive refugee camps just outside of the city can start to come back? No?

People are tearing up the city-provided underground wiring, leaving isolated electrical islands. Also, I think that people are so concerned that their massive, level-5 apartment with full electrical and instant access to three different mass transit options are now worth $3 less than last week, they're killing their relatives, locking them in the closet, and fleeing the city in the dead of night.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
In fact, that sounds like a good idea. I'm out. Last one out light the city on fire, please.

Dear god, it's as if the whole city suffered from colony collapse disorder. I guess I'll try what I can tonight.

Ooh boy, since it was my turn before PTTG, I feel like this may be my fault somehow.

Mystery time!

So that symbol means low land value, right?  Which basically translates to "There are things here we don't like", and, if my google-fu tells me correctly, not nessesarily related to land value. 

Hmm.

One of those graphs showed a huge drop in employment during my turn, which then turned right around and sped back to the top.  The bottom of the employment graph lines up with where I started building more commercial districts in my playthrough.  It looks like there was a huge population increase then, so it seems they wanted mroe commercial jobs to match the growing population.  It also seems the commercial provided jobs for all the new citizens.

The dip can also be blamed on the Large Hadron Collidor monument, as it provides education to the entire city.  So the industry jobs, which is what everyone worked on before, no longer had much appeal due to their higher education levels, they wanted to work commercial/office instead.

Alright.

Now that's interesting... there was a huge birth spike.  It says here that families much prefer to live in low-density housing:

http://www.skylineswiki.com/Zoning

Which may be part of the problem.  New family looking to own a house, nowhere to move?  Be unhappy and move out.

Karlito:  Try zoning lots of low-density residential, see if that helps. 

I can't really see any other reason, though.

I noticed that a huge employment drop preceded the exodus. That symbol can't also mean unemployment, can it? A combination of drying up ore industry and the Hadron Collider could have caused that unemployment.

Sooo...


The city is lovelier than usual this time of year.

Can anyone else load PTTG??'s save? I think maybe the problem is I'm lacking some mod or the other.

Well that shouldn't happen. I deliberately turned off all my mods before I loaded the game up.

Well, I can't load the save regardless. I'd appreciate if a third party could try and load it up, so we can see where the issue is.

EDIT: Loading another save up first has resolved the problem, maybe? I'm still getting some odd behavior and it crashes when i try to exit, but it may be playable. Nope, nevermind. Not playable.
