Cities: Skylines discussion

It`s like this: I have a loop in my city connected to the rails coming from boundaries.It was a loop,and I thought that I can make a train route via these rails.So I added these passenger stations.But,trains coming from outside of the city ruined everything.I can`t divide the passenger route,it will use lots of land.Isn`t there a way to disable these trains?

I say you sacrifice land for the sake of good rail traffic....besides, how much land can it possibly take?
Also, how many passenger stations do you have? Don't jam them together too much - instead, use one or two stations in your city and then use metro, bus or railways that aren't connected to the main loop (innercity)
Thing is, the AI cities will start sending separate trains to each station, rather than sending one to go through all stations.....

You could use suburban S bahn like in munchen.

Thanks for your reply.I disconnected my main passenger railway from railway coming from the boundry.So there are no passenger trains coming from without the city.I will build a few passenger train stations in order to let tourists enter the city via train.

Tere!
So i stopped being a bad person and bought the game (i have never waited for a sale so bad in my life). However, as i've heard, mods disable achievements. Do maps also disable them aka are they counted as mods?

Hello, i also have a problem: I try to build new housing districts but they don't want! What can i do?

[plykkegaard]

You need to have a balanced area and electricity, water and sewers
Start small

[martinusK]

Check the bars in the bottom of the screen - housing is the green one. Housing needs increase when you build new industry or there is simply no living space left.
Also check for land value - if it's poor, make sure you increase it - leisure, public services (schools, medical, police, fire coverage), perhaps even add a public transport line.

Parks, playgrounds, monuments are also important
Keep a distance to industries, polution is more widespread than you might think

[EDIT] Graveyards and crematoriums also improves land value
