This game literally makes no sense to me.
Why are the highways not connected?! (obviously not connected to the city, I mean the bottom highway isn't connected from one end point to the other.
lol basically just broke my game because the highways wont reconnect.

Hard to tell from the size of the pic but are the highways running the right direction? Not sure why else they would be doing that.
There are a couple of graphics mods on the steam workshop. I've got one that disables the film grain and a second that helps with AA.
Did you watch the direction of the highways? Highways are basically one-ways, which need to go into the right direction. If you do it wrong it kinda does this: <<<<<!>>>>>!<<<<<< and you get the error symbol at the ! points.This game literally makes no sense to me.

Can't really tell from the picture - one way road and you drew it the wrong way? Meaning the ends on the left and right are both expecting travel from west to east, and you drew the middle filler section east to west?
Only thing I could think of - when you draw a one way road the traffic on it travels the way you draw it.
edit - bah, answered too quick. I slow.

Biggest city I've seen so far is just over 500k on a Twitch stream last weekend. I expect you should be able to get to 1 million in time once optimal configurations have been found for roads and zones. That's with 9 "blocks". If you have a flat "plains" type map with as little water as possible and have a rig that can run all 25 "blocks" you should be able to do some quite large cities. Probably 5+mill I'd say.

Apparently regardless of unlocking all the space, the game hard-caps at 1mil population. You can zone it, but nobody will ever move in past 1mil. They did this due to the fact that every "cim" is simulated, and they had to cut it off at some point, because they didn't want people melting their computers, I guess. Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if some people have issues at 1mil or even lower population, the fact that everything is actually simulated is pretty impressive.
You do make some points, but some of the points you make certainly aren't entirely valid. If you want to go that route then do I have the ability to be a corrupt politician and influence the vote? Maybe throw some money around and make people vote my way? The problem with making something like you want is there are entirely too many ways and options that would also need to be implemented to allow for this system and it would probably murder systems to the extent that it would have to be a really small pop game and overly complicated and not fun.
The idea really reminds of the "simulation" racing games that try to be real but end up failing because they aren't real. You just have to try and make a good game that fundamentally makes sense IMO.

The largest 9 tile standard city I've seen on a twitch stream was around 500k when they started hitting balance problems trying to get the city to grow more. Once you learn the basic mechanics of the game getting to 500k is probably just time but after that balancing things to get to 1 million will probably be a challenge.

I'm at 140k and I've spent the past 5+ hours fixing minor traffic issues.
BTW: Never run your rails across roads. Always use overpasses or train bridges or whatever.
Eventually your train tracks become so crowded that nothing can get through them.
I'm about ready to delete all my passenger rails, I need the train tracks free for cargo.

Took the leap and bought this game after hearing all of the overwhelmingly positive feedback. Going to try playing the style where you have several small independent towns sprawling across the map with some rural areas inbetween and gradually let it evolve into a metropolis.

Yeah, I'm ecstatic this game is doing so well, with such overwhelmingly positive reviews. This is a niche genre if there ever was one, and to see it sell 500k+ so quickly is phenomenal.
