  • This is just one specific line on a particularly steep hillside in Stuttgart therefore it has been built as a rack railway. It’s known as the “Zacke” (German for tooth or prong) though officially it’s just “U10”

    There are two cars, going up and down at the same time, theres a station in the middle where they pass each other.

    The stops are long enough to take your bike off of the bike cart. It isn’t a particularly fast tram anyways. It also doesn’t run at night because it runs extremely close to houses and it’s comparatively loud.

    It’s a bit of an oddity because it’s part of the normal public transport network and included in your ticket. There are only 3 other rack railways in Germany and those have been built purely for tourism and have their own fares.















  • Performance isn’t the best but I didn’t really spend time optimising it in settings.

    Love the scale of things. Wanted to plop down the international airport to see what it looks like and damn, that thing is enormous.

    I think they should improve some of the visual indicators for roadsnapping, building placement etc. Getting roads to like up correctly is a bit finicky, when placing buildings it’s hard to see what they are colliding with. Changing the direction on one-way roads should also just be a click like in CS1.

    I’m going to stick with my unfinished CS1 city for now since I’m just going for a beautiful city with a bunch of mods but interested to see where CS2 ends up in a couple of years.
