What have you done ...

I'm sorry but I'm going to have a rant. Absolutly love skylines and have been playing it and loving it for a long time now. However recently I really have to question the brain cells of the developers. Firstly snowfall, why oh why is snow/winter not a season, I've had a little bit of fun making a winter city but now I'm getting bored of just seeing snow or not. Also with snowfall who thought it would be a good idea to make everyone have to individual have to upgade the pipes for heating, really ....

Now onto the new update which is awful I'm afraid, firstly the new terrain tools are awful why not make them exactly the same as the map editor ones. I'm not able to to be precise and take accurate heights ect for anything and only have 3 brush strength/sizes. The mod version was much better, you could use a slider to find height and width as well as brush strength. Also why is there no water tool, come on how is it a landscape tool without the water tool. Now this wouldn't be such a problem as I could just use my previous landscaping mod but no, if you try to load both the game crashes. Now the canals I'm sorry but that is just lazy, why are they all the same width. Would it be so hard to make different versions as the canals are far to big atm. The biggest pain has to be the soil limit, who's idea was that... Have to dig up the map to fill in bits come on. And why is It even in the game I mean it's not like a city can not buy soil, also what's with the limit bar like there is only so much you can store really...

*takes a breath*

Come on paradox don't ruin this great game with laziness it's making the game unenjoyable at the moment . On the plus the new water edging tool is fantastic.

Am I the just being picky... Just annoying it's taking me more time to fix issue with the new updates rather then just cracking on playing.

Thank you for the feedback. I am sorry you haven't been happy with the updates. We have received a lot of positive feedback from landscaping, but thank you also for the suggestion how it would be better.

The soil limit is there, because we clearly wanted to have editor features and the gameplay separated, so that the maps are made in the editor and the city built ingame. Sometimes modifying the terrain makes sense while building the city, so therefore we made tools that allow slight modification, or landscaping. The dirt is not simply added or removed like in the map editor, but actually it has to be moved from one place to another. The limitations to the canals, like the fixed width, has been chosen so that the water intake and outlet fit there, but is not too wide for the canals to flood easily.
