I give it about ten more years before city builders are keeping us up at night, wondering what happens to the sapient citizens when we quit to desktop.

Now that limit's uncapped, though-and the game's pathfinding AI is much improved, with its decision-making incorporating ease of parking and transportation costs-we're one small step closer to straight-up building the Matrix. Unless you want to burn a hole through your CPU, your hardware will tap out at some point, with a different limit for each player. Still, this doesn't mean that the game's civilians are infinite, or that it can handle hundreds of thousands of them with no pressure. On the subject of the uncapped limit itself, user Ok-Kaleidoscope5627 writes: 'While I did hit the limit once or twice, knowing that it was always looming killed my desire for any city I was really excited about because I knew that just when they started getting really good, they'd die for reasons outside my control.'

According to the developer, the Cities Skylines 2 map will be 159 kilometers squared. Maps larger than this may cause RoadRunner to crash on. This would possibly fix this, allowing you to add more connections as your city grows or move them somewhere else to a better position.Responses on the Skylines Reddit have been a mixture of nail-biting over the safety of hardware, scepticism, and excitement. If you are building a Large Map with elevation, the recommended largest size of the map is 20x20 km2.

Even if the 4 connection limit is raised you can't add any more or move them somewhere else because you don't have access to the edge of the map. The main benefit I see to unlocking that border area though is not necessarily for expanding your city, since you will likely run into the population and maximum building limit before you even fill up the original 25 tiles.īut mostly I want this to give me access to the edge of the map and possibly allow you to move and add extra neighbor connections once you already have a city running.Īs it is, you add your 4 connections in the map editor but once you start a city they are pretty much permanent. I have a new favorite map Ive been using, created from terrain.party based on an area Ive been to plenty but makes a great map. Everything on it is already being simulated as is, so it's already straining your performance as much as it ever will. I don't foresee any performance issues with this, just like the concerns people had with unlocking all 25 tiles (which proved to be unfounded) because that terrain is already there.
