It’s not much of 21st century urban city yet, but in the first week of Spacington’s developments we have focused on a couple things.<\/p>\n
With the\u00a0amount of\u00a0great suggestions\u00a0we received since\u00a0Spacington’s launch\u00a0last week, we\u00a0have taken the\u00a0majority of them into consideration (skipping over\u00a0some of the more anti-Rob Ford suggestions such as adding ferris wheels and extensive subway to low-density neighbourhoods) and added the Network Addon Mod<\/em>, the Street Addon Mod<\/em>, and additional LRT stations\u00a0ensuring\u00a0the best possible\u00a0results.<\/p>\n We’ve\u00a0past over the groundbreaking ceremony\u00a0and have spent the first week attempting\u00a0to\u00a0build\u00a0population growth, building\u00a0city staples\u00a0(fire, police, education, etc.), and\u00a0attempted to\u00a0keep some money in the bank \u2014 currently\u00a0we have $160,000 in funds, 400 people, a high major rating. The streets are short, walkable, and mixed used.\u00a0But as pointed out by our readers last week, part\u00a0of the limitations in the game is the restriction of\u00a0per lot\u00a0mixed-zoning. It’s either one\u00a0or the other.\u00a0To overcome this, we’ve simply considered\u00a0the whole\u00a0block, divided the commercial, residential, and industrial zoning in somewhat equal portions, and\u00a0gave\u00a0the street<\/em>\u00a0a\u00a0multifaceted face.<\/p>\n Spacington hasn’t yet adopted mass\u00a0transit (we just have 400 hundred people) but we’ve planned our\u00a0roads and streets\u00a0to\u00a0transition once the transit would be fully\u00a0utilized.\u00a0Like I said, we’ve added the “mod” additions to the game which they\u00a0look great and function well. For the readers who’ve used the Sim City’s additions, give\u00a0us some\u00a0tips and tricks as they’re new to us.<\/p>\n Reader input for next week: what is your advice on the best ways to incorporate parks?<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/spacing.ca\/toronto\/wp-includes\/js\/tinymce\/plugins\/wordpress\/img\/trans.gif\" "\\"More...\\""){kind=spacer}
