found a literal mexican. top fricking kek its so easy to spot these insecure oily skin zit on their ears overweight eating too much grease losers. lawl
pavement has been around as long as humans have, even in very simple rudimentary forms such as gravel are incredibly easy to produce, Romans built roads in 600 B.C. and the oldest roads still in use are Roman ones from 300 B.C., its not like we haven't figured this shit out
Every city here looks like Megaton or Diamond City or trying to have some nonsensical, quirky theme attached to it like the cowboy place. Its Little Lamplight all over again. Do these people even think about cohesion or logic for their worldbuilding? People have FTL travel but still build shantytowns with trash and holes in the roof?
Shantytowns actually kinda of make some sense, the core inner worlds are going to be well protected, so they can afford to look nice and clean.
But on the edges, on the frontier, most cities will be ghettos full of poorgays that failed to earn a place in the more defended core worlds, and with piracy being a problem, no one is going to be building nice and sleek cities just to attract pirates, really who is going to pay to build and maintain anything super nice, the poorgays who hate government, taxes and are barely surviving?
People don't live in the frontier because they like being raped by pirates, they live there because they have no other choice. And anyone who can will be living in their own ships, hydroponics and water reclamation systems to care of food and water, solar panels for free energy.
>People have FTL travel but still build shantytowns with trash and holes in the roof?
We build particle accelerators but then you go to new delhi india and people live in literal feces covered shantytowns directly next to gigantic glass buildings and tennis courts
this shit is less wacky than you think
It's worse - just four citities. I think they're Atlantis, Akila, Cydonia and Neon. But apparently each of these cities are really big, and I think I'd rather three big and stylistically distinct cities over a dozen Skyrim sized cities. Akila and Cydonia kind of look like shit to me though.
If it turns out that the three cities are basically the size of Solitude and Atlantis turns out to be big comparable to the Imperial City then I'll be really disappointed.
Looks like a really lame city/faction to me. I wish they could have been a bit more subtle or interesting than literal space cowboys in goofy themepark cowboy town.
Cow Boyman is so obsessed with the western movies he saw as a child that he personally tore up all the pavement. It's happened so many times that the city stopped bothering to fix it
why are imagilets like this? It is completely feasible that in a futuristic world with lots of technology people would form a calm community away from these things, it already happens in real life
the problem is paved roads and streets NEEDS extra infrastructure to function properly
whereas dirt just need to be dug up and filled in with new dirt when the old dirt gets too gross.
>expect pavement from the 'muh wild west, cowboy LARPing' faction.
Youre really doesn't understand anything. Just shut up and find something else to nitpick.
Pavement is incredibly wasteful in every sense.
Now that FPBP we can let this thread die.
surely this is objectively wrong
no, there are many alternatives that are better
mud is not one

statists vindicated
>City is ruled by a faction that got raped by the UC
What do you think?

Shut up.
Playing a Bethesda game is like going to a fricking theme park
They literally had a theme park in Fallout 4

Was that shithole the freestarers capital? Hopefully I'm mistaken.
>cowboy planet
lol
lmao even
why not, even in the space age you'd still want grass fed cow meat in your burger
I have seen Chinese people roleplay as american cowboys on red servers in aus anything in space is possible
red dead*
I think 8 cities (?) is way too few for a game with 1000 planets
Not to mention they look about the size of Solitude

They'll just sell more cities as DLC.

It wouldn't look like a properly western-themed space cowboy town with paved roads.
I don't care about problems mods will fix
who pays for the roads
why are imagilets like this? It is completely feasible that in a futuristic world with lots of technology people would form a calm community away from these things, it already happens in real life
Even small towns in the middle of nowhere have paved roads
It's easy when the state pays for it.
yeah? you can't imagine the town pouring some cheap concrete tiles?
who exactly do you expect to pay for it???
My favorite part of the Expanse was indians with texan accents.
the problem is paved roads and streets NEEDS extra infrastructure to function properly
whereas dirt just need to be dug up and filled in with new dirt when the old dirt gets too gross.
>cowbow city ran by right-wing nutjobs
>infrastructure is in shambles
Seems completely realistic to me.
>cowbow city
>no cows
>no horses
>no ranchers
>not actually a wild west in terms of laws or governance.
fricking hate this larp shit.
freedom > """"infrastructure""""
>did humanity forget how to make pavement?
we forgot how to make roman concrete so I don't she why not
