watching Not Just Bikes and having played lots of SimCity as a kid makes me want a version of the game that lets you create cities like the Dutch ones the Not Just Bikes person talks about so much
I guess there's probably Cities: Skylines mods? maybe even the game itself if you unlock enough, I haven't played too much of it
I guess even SimCity (talking about 2000 here, I never played anything else) lets you build trains and subways
oh, and 2000 also has buses, which impact traffic even more than subway stops
actually, Mini Motorways is a great argument against car-centric cities, you'd just win all the time if you could draw bike paths and add trains
@noiob this is true, this is true. i feel like a game that did mini metro/motorways' gig on a more layered ground would be good but might be a bit of an overload
there are mods for c:s that add dedicated bike paths and you can always enact policies and construct bus routes and the like, but i feel
@pearshapes yeah you'd need a complete overhaul of all systems and it'd probably be way more micromanage-y
the mini series is very much not designed to be a simulation, it's a puzzle game. Like, iirc the algorithms are tuned to mess your game up the most
@noiob yeah its really designed to test your existing infrastructure to see where it cracks and backs up, which i like
