QUARTA redraw project
For the next two weeks-month or so, Quentinsburgh’s subway system will probably look somewhat weird and unkempt on the maps. I have undergone a project to redraw all of the lines with more realistic and more uniform design, more elevated tracks and different rendering so that it appears more like it does in Gobras City and other cities with a well designed subway network. For a while you’ll see both the old ‘messed up’ tracks and the slowly appearing new uniform tracks next to each other- I plan to delete the old tracks after the entire system has been redrawn.
This project should make more express lines possible, make it so that you can tell what trains stop at a station just by looking at the map, make more extensions of track elevated (It’s unrealistic to have a train completely underground all the way into the suburbs) more realistic station platforms (side instead of center), eventually marked station entrances and less sharp curves. It should also allow for better designs of developments alongside the railway and better stations, especially for places like the Geolympiad complex. (The tram will likely be redrawn as well.)
Fixing proportion as my next project
After/alongside this project, my malls and retail may change quite a bit as I try to create more realistically sized retail in more locations. Similarly to the issue with my fast food restaurants a while ago that is also still in repair, most of my buildings were far too big and it will take work to size them down, especially at larger malls. However, this should also help open up more space for more parkland, more schools and more walkable neighborhoods.
