You can flip and rotate modules. And thats not a downside but a great feature

sounds good feature - what about width? example some lanes are wide than others - example pathways next to road are narrow while road lanes are wide

I know, I know
What I meant was this (same module, one rotated by 180 degrees):

This is just a question of pixel design.

Rotation has indeed some strange effects. I will optimize this issue. But in the end the user wants a working road. So nobody will create rotated non-fitting road pieces.

Here is a 6 minutes video showing the module editor and placement of diagonal roads:

Sorry for the sound... I dont know where the high tone comes from. Microphone recording is deactivated.

amazing looks nice even has cars in but they just poof from road i would love play it hehe

Looks really cool, thanks for giving us an insight

And thanks for the ongoing discussion.

what about parking for cars that citzens own?

on street or off street?

Have a look at the top of this concept drawing:

i know that but i was wondering if there either types - like on street parking or just off street parking in P1SIM

I think it looks cleaner when they use a separate parking area instead of parking on the side of the road. But its not finally decided.

ah good answer i will brainstorm this idea

on some areas with more space around like parks or no buildings near - off road parking is possible eg houses and car parks built by players or city owned

in areas where no space for parking - example city centre with office blocks around it - on street parking will be used

so add lane but similar to bus lane but put Parking words on surface of road which citzens can park along the road

the width of parking would be same size of lane

In the very cool video posted showing the module editor, I noticed that in the 45 degree turn, the spacing of the paths for the lanes are not centered on the lanes. (See attached picture). Are you (smallfly) working to resolve this, or is this just how the paths look in the module editor. The paths seem to be centered for the straight 45 degree modules.

But overall, the roads look fantastic! Can't wait for the alpha testing!

This is only an optical problem of the module editor. And as you have seen the 45 degree modules work fine. They have the exact same node positions like the straight-to-diag curves on the diag end.

I don't like it, too much freedom, no rules or other constraints for player. I could select a whole grass tiles as graphics and place paths as I want. This can make a lot of mess.

The module editor is a modding tool. Thus it wont be available during a multiplayer match. Due to the reasons you just explained.

Two things:
If one cannot create modules during a multplayer game, couldn't that restrict the fun as you might want to create some junction or whatever, but you need a module for that?
And I was wondering how the cost of a module is determined?

If it's a modding tool, then fine. But I think that a modding tool shouldn't be available from within the gameplay, it should be a separate application.

It's absolutely awesome, isn't it?
