Metro Station emits more noise pollution w/ update

[28rommel]

Has anyone else noticed that the intensity and radius for noise pollution around Metro Stations, has been increased since this last update (with CS Industries) ?

They always did emit some noise pollution, and I previously planned for any adjacent growables to exclude residential structures, so that my cims would not be sick. But playing immediately after the new update downloaded, I noticed that a (moderately) wider-range of nearby residential growables were showing the "Citizens are sick!" icon above some structures.

Why do you think the Devs did this?

I can't say I've noticed an increase in noise around metro stations, but I have reported a significant decrease in park entertainment value since Industries DLC. Can you confirm that for me at least?

No, not necessarily with parks.
But on a similar note (and maybe this is what you noticed), I did also experience immediately after the update, one (and only one) particular area in my city where numerous adjacent structures (about 10 or so) were showing the "Not enough services" icon.
In order to solve this issue, I moved one of my elementary schools closer to the problem area and added two new parks.

This was in one of the extreme corners of my city, and to be honest it did lack in services. But before the update, there was no problem indicated by my structures.

I noticed that the new industry areas (or the unique factories) satisfy the park effect . At least on the "leisure" graphic overlay they seem to do.

The industries area appear in the leisure info view but my whole industries have still low/red leisure as there is any park/plaza.
I think it's probably a side effect of the "park system" re-use for Industries DLC.

For the metro noise, I've notice nothing. The noise pollution from asset editor is identical to wiki which does no seems updated yet; however the radius light have been changed.

This is the METRO info card from v1.10. (I don't have the Industries DLC or the v1.11 patch yet.)

Has it changed in v1.11?
I assume not if it hasn't changed in the asset editor. I didn't see any mention of it in the patch notes either.

wiki which does no seems updated yet

If it hasn't changed, it doesn't need to be updated.

Yes the value in the UI is the same in 1.11, but if I'm correct its radius is only available in the asset editor and is never not added in the wiki info.
However when CO reduced the monorail noise pollution it was detailed in the patch note (1.10.1) so I guess that would be the same for the metro.

If it hasn't changed, it doesn't need to be updated.

Agreed
In fact I was referring about the whole DLC content, I suppose it takes a bunch a time to edit/correct the whole wiki, especially if it's done by only contributors.(?)

It is more time consuming to dig through the asset editor for information. I have done it from time to time.

I suppose that there is always a chance that something changes and is not noted.

The Wiki does need some work. Sometimes there are lots of contributors, sometimes not. I only recently realized how much stuff for Parklife was not yet added (after someone started putting some in). Just started to try to catch up on that. I am at work on a boat, and the internet is poor/slow/intermittent, so it is challenging at times. Page loads for the forum are slow too. I haven't let Steam get the patch yet (have to use a VPN, because it's blocked, but the net is so bad I don't wish to make it worse for anyone else!). Supposed to be fixed soon. I'm probably unemployed at the end of this trip, so I don't know if I will pick up "Industries" or not.

Fox,
I just checked, and the Metro Station info card still looks exactly as the one you posted (I have the new update 1.11.0-f3).
Before you update, can you check the info you see in the Asset Editor for this item. I am more curious on what value you see for "Noise radius," but check both numbers.
With the new patch, the information that I see in Asset Editor for Metro Station shows this:

Noise Accumulation = 50
Noise Radius = 50

Thanks for your help.

1.10.1-f3

Noise Accumulation = 50

Hmmmm.
Well then, I don't get it.
I know that I had to bulldoze various residential structures around my Metro Stations, because noise sickness. The sickness at these structures would last through the lengthy time it would take for the warning to turn to a brick-red (severe problem) color.
Don't get me wrong, the radius is not huge, but I know that the problem was absolutely not there before the update.
Thank you Fox.
