Update: Advanced Road Anarchy No longer required to place this asset. Easy placement, easy operation, easy road placement...

jc_jeff, go aghead and spam the world with the problems of the world.... I used to absolutely love this game, but with 200 assets ruined, copied, stolen by the game..... come to almost hate it if not for the players like you..... most that used to be epic are now broken by coding changes and the best modders of this game have all quit.... me... here for you, but the game steals hundreds of hours of work, while changing all logic that made so many assets great.... I am with you.
jc_jeff 26 May, 2020 @ 11:54am 
Oh my godness! I have no idea what's going on with this anymore, and I feel like I'm just spamming the problem around and around cluttering the comments lol

I am still using the asset for it's capacity, but I have to ignore the "wonkyness" of the inappropriate spawning. It could be something in my edition/mods/settings who knows.

Thanks for trying, but it seems like there isn't a true solution, even if I try to film it and show it, it probably won't help or be able to get fixed by you from what it seems.

Keep it up, thanks again and have city-times!!

I have about 6 hours into this.... 3 Computers and 3 save games each... Spawn point is game default so making me crazy at this point. If I set the spawn point to the center of the asset..... game spawns in two places.... now explain that one?
jc_jeff 10 May, 2020 @ 10:24am 
Ya it's totally crazy! BOTH models of your AMAZing garbage system I am experiencing the SAME THING and it is quite baffling. The TRUCKS spawn at in the middle of the ROAD, drive through the underground then on return DESPAWN on the entrance road in the same place.

It is CLEAR the somehow I have the SPAWN point NOT in the underground segment!!!! WTH!?!! lol
Populous  [author] 22 Apr, 2020 @ 10:15pm 
Updates... though mine works fine so even odder.... I will look at it again.
jc_jeff 22 Apr, 2020 @ 6:08pm 
Okay. If we're not clear the TRUCKS SPAWN+DESPAWN AT THE TOP of the ENTER and not IN THE MIDDLE! With what you said, it almost makes me think the the SPAWN point is somehow in the WRONG loation!?!?! : O How would that even be possible? lol
Populous  [author] 15 Apr, 2020 @ 8:11pm 
jc_jeff Odd and I have not been able to duplicate myself.... but okay, so the game does despawn trucks for any asset, but this (with one way roads) should allow the truck to enter before it despawns and when it respawns, the truck should recognize the one way road and exit out the other side. An elusion but a good one copied by so many.... Let me try a couple maps on another computer after my wife goes to bed.
jc_jeff 14 Apr, 2020 @ 8:36pm 
Yes, I have tried with many setups, but of course I respected the lane arrows on the asset. The first time I plopped it I was like "oh ok nbd I will just make the entrance two way" figuring it will auto-regulate once spawned, but for some reason no. I am quite confused it looks like it should all work fine and the 'work around' setup makes sense..... I feel something else I have could be causing it but very unsure what!! Again I have very basic mods everyone has.....

Newly spawned vehicles go through the asset, returning vehicles approach the correct side, but then "twerk" into the "spawn generator spot" and then dissapear, a new vehicle spawning moments later, almost immediately.

I was just shocked to see the trucks DESPAWN where they came from, and never GO THROUGH the system at all! There is something very glitchy about this..... hmmmm

Populous  [author] 13 Apr, 2020 @ 12:07am 
Sometimes it can take 20 to 30 minutes for the game to balance and some assets to work, but I was able to duplicate the issue by not using one way streets... could you double check the in and out roads are one way, in the right direction. I know you are smart so not likely the issue, but if you would check.
jc_jeff 12 Apr, 2020 @ 9:59am 
Interesting question! I think you mean how long I was already playing?
In that case it would be at least a few hours on my first attempt before placing.

Then I went and tried the other version with the side-by-side enter/exit from a fresh load.

I have very common and widely-used mods often found mainly on "essentials" lists BTW.

Thanks for attempting to figure this out!
Populous  [author] 12 Apr, 2020 @ 1:18am 
jc_jeff, can I ask how much time did you let the game run.
jc_jeff 11 Apr, 2020 @ 7:17pm 
I have tried the steps to "CORRECT" the roads several times even using an entirely blank area to leave enough space.

My trucks always SPAWN at the ENTRANCE, driver down the middle to the EXIT, but then upon return DESPAWN at the same place and don't make it through the tunnel again.

For a while on one of this first ones I placed, I had trucks get through via the RIGHThand lane, but stil SPAWN at the entrance.

I find it confusing and frustrating, because I really enjoyed the concept of the underground converter in this LONG style...... :steamfacepalm:
Populous  [author] 22 Feb, 2020 @ 7:25pm 
Give me some time to see what I can do.
Glibmoth0 22 Feb, 2020 @ 3:41pm

Populous  [author] 31 Jan, 2020 @ 8:30am 
Ah, same issue with any large asset and CS and I don't know why they don't fix this. Anarchy should fix this.
EEYE 31 Jan, 2020 @ 2:31am

EEYE 31 Jan, 2020 @ 2:24am 
populous i try maby anarcy or som dlc turn of i go look thx for respons
Populous  [author] 30 Jan, 2020 @ 3:42pm 
EEYE, is fine road anarchy turned on for sure? Ok, so... old school:
1. Place the asset next to a road.
2. Delete the road in front of the asset
3. Run a one way road to the asset at least 8 squares long
4. Reconnect your main road to the new one way road
5. Delete the unused section of one way road
6. Done and back in business
EEYE 30 Jan, 2020 @ 11:28am

Populous  [author] 27 Jan, 2020 @ 7:59am 
EEYE In what way is this not working any more?
EEYE 27 Jan, 2020 @ 5:30am 
27-01-2020 not working anymore
Populous  [author] 28 Feb, 2019 @ 6:09am 
I am told it works with Fine Road Anarchy, otherwise it is impossible to make this work as is with the tunnels without FRA or ARA.
SuwinTzi 28 Feb, 2019 @ 12:29am 
I think it should be still fine with Fine Road Anarchy, going to test in game
Populous  [author] 10 Dec, 2018 @ 6:10pm 
The issue with changing these is the size of the building (set to max size) forces me to put the road at too steep of an angle... that said it was built when everyone used Advanced Road Anarchy.... Perhaps I could build a version without underground roads? Perhaps with a tunnel?
Teddybear72N 10 Dec, 2018 @ 3:57am 
Please make work with "fine road anarchy" insted :-)
Populous  [author] 1 Jan, 2018 @ 5:30pm 
I am extremely pleased you like this surf2explore. You will find it works and works well. Thank you for your possitive comment.
surf2explore 1 Jan, 2018 @ 4:43pm 
Cool asset ! Thanks for your time:steamhappy:
Populous  [author] 11 Sep, 2017 @ 6:08pm 
Hey Fox! Works for me, so should work for you ;)
FoX 11 Sep, 2017 @ 2:31pm 
hi populous, works this with v1.8.0-f3 ?
Populous  [author] 10 Apr, 2016 @ 1:55pm 
The new Advanced Road Anarchy works really well and is a requirement as the roads have to be steep as part of the design limitations of the game. You should have no issue with the New ARA.
lt_Motman 10 Apr, 2016 @ 12:49pm 
The placing issue. Has it been resolved without the use of Advance Road Anarchy? Or is it still a suggested plugin?
Populous  [author] 23 Jan, 2016 @ 10:42am 
Lights added to make this look good at night.
Populous  [author] 27 Sep, 2015 @ 3:19pm 
FoX thank you again for working directly with me through live chat to test and resolve the issue of trucks not entering and exiting in some games.
Populous  [author] 25 Sep, 2015 @ 3:03pm 
Cool, we resolved placing it. If you have no garbage, it will take awhile for the trucks to spawn and only when they are needed and if you have a lot of garbage the trucks will spawn almost all at once (Cities Skylines programming). If you give a few minutes it will normalize just like the standard garbage collection assets. I noticed from time to time a car will go through, but nothing can be done here except realize they are Pizza delivery and executives performing inspections ;)
FoX 25 Sep, 2015 @ 12:08pm 
ok i can place it....but the garbage trucks stuck, in front of the asset.....
the asset is conectet with a street....i don't now what it is.
cars drive in and out, but it spawn to mutch on the entry.
FoX 24 Sep, 2015 @ 8:04am 
No, but i test it next...
Populous  [author] 23 Sep, 2015 @ 6:33pm 
Did turning Advanced Road Anarchy off and on work for you as it did in testing?
FoX 23 Sep, 2015 @ 11:40am 
i have both assets....
Populous  [author] 22 Sep, 2015 @ 6:06pm 
Fox, it took me some time, but I found a place on one of my maps I could not place it, but turning off Advanced Road Anarchy and turning it back on worked fine and with no problem. Would you mind trying it and letting me know? Otherwise you may want to try this one: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=517154930
FoX 22 Sep, 2015 @ 10:20am 
i have the mod Advanced Road Anarchy installed, but your asset is not placeble for me :(
Populous  [author] 21 Sep, 2015 @ 6:05pm 
FoX, kind of a glitch with Cities Skylines in its inability to accept its own assets so if you wish to use a large number of the larger mods, install Advanced Road Anarchy https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/workshop/filedetails/?id=433567230 and this will fix the issue
Populous  [author] 21 Sep, 2015 @ 6:01pm 
Marie-Jeanine, I am glad you like the hide, yes advantages of a very real concept I read about and in fact they power thier own trucks using the fuel.
FoX 20 Sep, 2015 @ 8:44pm 
I can not place it on a flat map.....Error Message: Level its to high????
Morie 20 Sep, 2015 @ 6:52am 
nice way to hide that nasty process, too many advantages though :)
