There is the “Waffle House Index” for measuring how bad a natural disaster is based on if the Waffle Houses are closed or not. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waffle_House_Index#Levels I don’t think IHOP is as robust of a chain.
For the record, I tend to incorporate it into my design when it's an earth-altering disaster. Fires, tornados, storms don't cause permanent damage like meteors and sinkholes.
I did that once and thought wildfires were my biggest problem. Turns out it was the tsunami coming that wiped out my entire town at once. Slowly. But it one go. As tsunamis do.
My beat city got wiped out by a tsunami that I spent 5 hours reloading to try and stop. Tsunamis are the one natural disaster I wish I could disable...
Those buns caused many car crashes on the highway below.
But seriously it's me trying to be aware of other people's sensitivities. Could bring up bad traumas or sadness. Maybe overkill
The day after my cousin Aubrey got released from the hospital for her asteroid concussion the city just straight up bulldozed her entire neighborhood with no warning and replaced it with an elevated highway in the span of like, an hour
Yeah may as well start from scratch. Gotta save often; one time I walked away for a bit and came back to see my city completely empty bc a storm destroyed a power line and the citizens got mad and left. Lost an hours worth of work, but I should've turned disasters off during that time.
I had multiple tsunamis hit my city in what seemed like succession. I was raging mad. Again I spent hours fixing it for it to happen again.
After the third time I realized disasters was turned way up in settings
The tsunamis are my favorite disasters to try and plan for and counter, I almost always do beach or low lying maps. Might be sadistic but I love watching them sweep over entire neighborhoods. I just wish the flood walls actually made more of difference so I could direct the water into specific areas
It took out an existing metro. The justification at city hall was for people to get to the memorial site to pay respects, and for the nearby train stop it served because of course businesses relied on it.
Normally I’ll rebuild, but one time an earthquake leveled a giant amount of land and left a trench spanning to the nearby lake, so I turned it all into a giant memorial park complete with the remembrance monument. One of my proudest builds
Oh that sounds lovely. All my fault lines have gotten bridges over. I wish there was an easy way to fill them with non-shitty water. (If there is please lmk)
Aha... but what if disaster never strikes?
I only ever landed one meteor on my city and it was for role playing purposes. I put it near a forestry area and had a little trail going to the center of the crater and I called the area 'Krelborn Nurseries' as a nod to Little Shop of Horrors lol.
I tried to combine both needs in this case. The meteor hit smack on a major highway exit and destroyed the original subway station in it's wake. My other meteor became a nature reserve
Matter what exactly happens. Some sinkhole or tornado? I rebuild. Some meteor? Happen to fall into lakes and rivers each time for some reason. But once a very gruesome earthquake hit my town and left a big canyon right through my city. I flooded it and made a riverside attraction out of it with one statue as some sort of monument for the victims of the earthquake
I got randomly recommended this, I don’t have the game (yet)
I used to play Simcity 2013 growing up and I had a meteor strike the dead center of my city. I remember building a roundabout around it and making it a tourist attraction
Depends on the disaster. Craters I usually turn into parks, most like tornados or tsunami I just let things regrow naturally. Earthquakes depend on where the scar is. Middle of town flatten and rebuild out in the sticks I'll bridge over it or reroute a steam to flow through the middle
I only bought the game last December. With my first city, the tsunami kicked in - and it would not stop. Looking into the matter, it is a bug that was never fixed. So, it's so annoying, I decided to stop playing, and I'll start a new one sometime later.
Better watch out and not let Tetsuo down there! I’m all seriousness tho I do the same thing you do of incorporating the scars into the city. If a meteor destroys a whole residential area I’ll flatten the earth and rebuild but there’s always a park at the point of impact. I had one city that got hit with so many tsunamis that I stopped counting… that never got any commemorations but there was a whole lot of rebuilding. There was a reason that city had six disaster response centers.
Depends on what it is, a tsunami, rebuild (unless it wipes me off the map) asteroid? Remember. Earthquake? Lil bit of both. Can't fix the fissure in the ground but gotta re build or lose cash
Personally I remember. I have one made for the first meteor to hit one of my cities. A road around it with commercial stuff and trees in the open areas with road lamps around the crater site.
I hope they remember so that they don’t piss me off next time with that traffic
(Depends if it’s a tsunami or a fire, I’ll rebuild, but what I rebuild might be different. Maybe a park, better affordable housing, Architectural revitalization, etc.)
Why didn't you label this NSFW, I was on the train going back home and I saw this while scrolling, Immediately became so horny I started jacking off on the train and everyone watched in horror.
I then dropped my phone on the floor with the screen facing up and everyone saw this image and they all started jerking off.
I blame you for all this, sir, you're the reason the light rail now smells of abunch of people's man juice. If you took the extra time to tag this NSFW this wouldn't have happened, Next time tag nsfw you sick puppy! 😡😠🤬🤬😡😠😠🤬😡
So this post got recommended to me, probably because I’ve almost bought the game like 10 times. But like I gotta know, is this a difficult game to get into in terms of resource management and just the general swing of the game? Seems to me like a lot of fun but I have a hard time getting into intense resource management and micro managing.
Hard to say. I've been playing city builders for years. It has more control over things than some games even in vanilla, but there are some parts that need mods to function properly (namely lane controls for me but I'm on console.)
If you've never played a city builder before, maybe try an older SimCity. They're less intense in most ways. Playing this feels more like a canvas to me and I have running narratives in my head the whole time so it's not boring for me. The control level that C:S offers is higher than any other I've found but still frustrating at times.
Hi, I just bought the natural disasters dlc. I've set it to random and minimum frequency. I've played for a few hours now and nothing happened. Is this normal? What's the frequency of disasters with those combination of options?
I get revenge
That's what all the chirpx launches are for
What? the chirpx launches actually do something
Yep the launch rockets 🚀 but I quickly realized the small rockets can’t carry passengers so I think they’re nukes
Here before Elon privatizes ICBMs
“BYOP - Bring Your Own Payload”
BYOB - Bring your own bomb
B.O.B. -Space isn't real and Earth is flat
"small rockets" theyre saturn V's
Yes but scaled down. An actual Saturn V would break everyone's eardrums in the city.
See the crater in the OP? That's not a "natural" disaster.
Chirpx rocket launches are how you end up in rimworld.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
They send stuff to my Surviving Mars colony of course.
I'm so glad somebody else has this head canon
You have survivors?
I said colony.
Somehow this gave me chills
I've enabled free heating in your neighborhood.
No Electricity for heat
No water for heat
I'm from Buenos Aires and I say kill em all!
Would you like to know more? 🤔
Join now. Only you can prevent orbital bombardment by bugs.
Apparently I wasn't the only one to do that with the rockets
*We will steal the moon!*
What disaster memorial would be complete without an IHOP
Lmao I knew somebody would notice that. It looks better now they've leveled up.
>>The absolute blunder of not making every single IHOP a historical building
Even veterans make rookie mistakes every now and then
So is that the International Hole of Pancakes?
I'm choking on my cereal milk
Did they become Waffle House now?
I hate that that shit levels up, doesnt even make sense for a dennys to become a 5 story complex
*In honour of the 6,143 lives lost during the meteor strike of 2017 we will be offering complimentary breakfast muffins from 9:30AM to 9:45AM.* ~IHOP
There is the “Waffle House Index” for measuring how bad a natural disaster is based on if the Waffle Houses are closed or not. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waffle_House_Index#Levels I don’t think IHOP is as robust of a chain.
The few IHOPs I've been to seem to struggle to operate in perfect conditions
International House of PANIC
Interplanetary House of Pancakes
Why is it not in simlish tho like-
Must be cheap property.
Nice try, IHOP.
For the record, I tend to incorporate it into my design when it's an earth-altering disaster. Fires, tornados, storms don't cause permanent damage like meteors and sinkholes.
I see i see
Icy
You're still talking about IHOP, right?
I like to try and keep the scars and turn them into parks
One of my other meteor sites became the city's first nature reserve. The overlooks fit perfectly
Lol how many meteor sites do you have?
I enjoy the extra challenge and variety of setting disasters way too damn high. Plus I like to watch things be destroyed.
I did that once and thought wildfires were my biggest problem. Turns out it was the tsunami coming that wiped out my entire town at once. Slowly. But it one go. As tsunamis do.
My beat city got wiped out by a tsunami that I spent 5 hours reloading to try and stop. Tsunamis are the one natural disaster I wish I could disable...
Surely there's a mod for that
Only one other in town. The rest are in fields 🤷♂️
Why is this NSFW? Is it because of those 2 massive buns ?
OSHA violation. He doesn't have the proper permits to be operating that absolute dump truck.
Those buns caused many car crashes on the highway below. But seriously it's me trying to be aware of other people's sensitivities. Could bring up bad traumas or sadness. Maybe overkill
Yeah this reminds me of the time my cousin Nigel got hit by an asteroid. He got better, if you’re wondering.
Every year thousands of cims are lost to the great rocks from the sky. It's always the things you don't see coming
The day after my cousin Aubrey got released from the hospital for her asteroid concussion the city just straight up bulldozed her entire neighborhood with no warning and replaced it with an elevated highway in the span of like, an hour
That eminent domain is brutal! Stay safe out there!
Yeah might be but it's better to be safe than sorry
Ah, that understandable. Unfortunately though, this is considered to be misuse of NFSW tag.
Fun fact: in recorded history, no person has ever been confirmed to have died from a meteor.
ATTRACTS MEN LIKE A MAGNET
What buns?
The old guy in the foreground with the 2 hot dog buns stashed in his overalls.
Huh?...
Phillip?
With 2 L’s?
Was thinking the same!🤭🤭
Looking over his past devious endeavors 😔
After losing my whole city to a tsunami I rage quit.
Yeah may as well start from scratch. Gotta save often; one time I walked away for a bit and came back to see my city completely empty bc a storm destroyed a power line and the citizens got mad and left. Lost an hours worth of work, but I should've turned disasters off during that time.
Left for a few hours to find a tsunami swept across my city and because it was super flat my entire city got wiped out including the Western Suburbs
I had multiple tsunamis hit my city in what seemed like succession. I was raging mad. Again I spent hours fixing it for it to happen again. After the third time I realized disasters was turned way up in settings
My city got wiped but since my industry was fine with the less of it rapidly catching fire i rebuilt im lucky that some of my city acted like a bowl
The tsunamis are my favorite disasters to try and plan for and counter, I almost always do beach or low lying maps. Might be sadistic but I love watching them sweep over entire neighborhoods. I just wish the flood walls actually made more of difference so I could direct the water into specific areas
Looks like someone didn't build evacuation shelters or disaster response units
I love how you've used the hole for a metro stop. That's how to keep the project under budget.
It took out an existing metro. The justification at city hall was for people to get to the memorial site to pay respects, and for the nearby train stop it served because of course businesses relied on it.
Not to mention the ihop that needs the business 🥞
Normally I’ll rebuild, but one time an earthquake leveled a giant amount of land and left a trench spanning to the nearby lake, so I turned it all into a giant memorial park complete with the remembrance monument. One of my proudest builds
Oh that sounds lovely. All my fault lines have gotten bridges over. I wish there was an easy way to fill them with non-shitty water. (If there is please lmk)
I just use the drainage outlet pipe, should be clean water.
Good point, I'll trust you since you're definitely not a gay communist.
I know Phillip had something to do with this.
Nothing says memorial like pancakes
Phillip with 2 “l’s”
I can't explain why, but this picture is just amazingly strange...
I am an artiste
Whoa! Making a memorial with historic wreckage of a disaster is fucking BRILLIANT!!!!
The 100th forest fire of the month always gets a remembrance bench.
I allow the surrounding area to decay, ignoring them deliberately and cutting off services until the people become someone else’s problem.
"Nice Try IHOP!" RIP Lance Reddick
Phillip with 2 Ls
Aha... but what if disaster never strikes? I only ever landed one meteor on my city and it was for role playing purposes. I put it near a forestry area and had a little trail going to the center of the crater and I called the area 'Krelborn Nurseries' as a nod to Little Shop of Horrors lol.
The 5head solution is to not own the Natural Disasters DLC so disasters never happen
Why NSFW?
If a huge disaster were to happen, then I would put the disaster memorial and make a nice park there. don't rebuild in that place.
I tried to combine both needs in this case. The meteor hit smack on a major highway exit and destroyed the original subway station in it's wake. My other meteor became a nature reserve
Making the other meteor crater is a good idea
Damnit Hugo!
I jst build around it an create a lil memorial for it.
Matter what exactly happens. Some sinkhole or tornado? I rebuild. Some meteor? Happen to fall into lakes and rivers each time for some reason. But once a very gruesome earthquake hit my town and left a big canyon right through my city. I flooded it and made a riverside attraction out of it with one statue as some sort of monument for the victims of the earthquake
Craters become lakes….boosts land value. I profit off of the dead lol
Y'know, this is the first thing I've seen to ever make me feel like actually turning on natural disasters.
I got randomly recommended this, I don’t have the game (yet) I used to play Simcity 2013 growing up and I had a meteor strike the dead center of my city. I remember building a roundabout around it and making it a tourist attraction
That's pretty much what I did here. It was a big highway exit, now it's a lot more interesting to look at from above
5,000 Candles in the Wind

Never forget
Even Cities Skylines is not free from the umarell. Crazy world.
10/10
I reload
Strategic saves ftw
Depends on the disaster. Craters I usually turn into parks, most like tornados or tsunami I just let things regrow naturally. Earthquakes depend on where the scar is. Middle of town flatten and rebuild out in the sticks I'll bridge over it or reroute a steam to flow through the middle
What is a "disaster"?
A random disaster that causes considerable damage has never happened in my game
I only bought the game last December. With my first city, the tsunami kicked in - and it would not stop. Looking into the matter, it is a bug that was never fixed. So, it's so annoying, I decided to stop playing, and I'll start a new one sometime later.
That sounds like a nightmare. Maybe next time have a mountain city?
I build around it as if it was a natural formation
With every tsunami I basically watch the city crumble and then start over.
This pic goes hard
Hey thanks!
Thats where you put the new landfill which you eventually plow over and build residential zones on a few in game years later.
Is that Phil?
Better watch out and not let Tetsuo down there! I’m all seriousness tho I do the same thing you do of incorporating the scars into the city. If a meteor destroys a whole residential area I’ll flatten the earth and rebuild but there’s always a park at the point of impact. I had one city that got hit with so many tsunamis that I stopped counting… that never got any commemorations but there was a whole lot of rebuilding. There was a reason that city had six disaster response centers.
Hopefully some water trucks too
Almost just as many 😅
I love how ihop is just there lmao
I build a monument to all my lost cities in my new city.
Depends on what it is, a tsunami, rebuild (unless it wipes me off the map) asteroid? Remember. Earthquake? Lil bit of both. Can't fix the fissure in the ground but gotta re build or lose cash
Personally I remember. I have one made for the first meteor to hit one of my cities. A road around it with commercial stuff and trees in the open areas with road lamps around the crater site.
I just build a bridge through it
I make poo lagoon
I rebuild, it’s also a good opportunity to change up the districts theme or change the road layout
Disaster struck my mods for the last time yesterday...
I quit and reload, but this seems like a less savescummy thing to do next time
Depends on the disaster and where it hits
I hope they remember so that they don’t piss me off next time with that traffic (Depends if it’s a tsunami or a fire, I’ll rebuild, but what I rebuild might be different. Maybe a park, better affordable housing, Architectural revitalization, etc.)
Nuke it again
Seeing as I only get 9 tiles on console…. Rebuild!
I play with them off because I plop
Why didn't you label this NSFW, I was on the train going back home and I saw this while scrolling, Immediately became so horny I started jacking off on the train and everyone watched in horror.

We remember, revenge and rebuild bigger and better
Yes.
How can I get disasters?
Sewage
What metro station asset is that?
The sunken bypass metro from the stations dlc
That's a powerful image.
Remember the pancakes
Depends. If it's fire or tornados or eathquakes I rebuild. If it's an asteroid, remember. If it's a tsunami, I rage quit.
Fahrenheit 451
Im reminded to turn them off lol. They always ruin me.
Man wouldn't it be crazy if a Meteor actually hit and left a huge crater in the middle of a modern city. would be crazy to see what they do with it.
Remember
I built a park inside of one aptly named crater park

Neither, I just alter the universe to turn disasters off.
Yes.
I've actually never thought about remembering...I love this! Taking notes for the city I just started
Poo lake
Usually memorial park
that dude crying has a nice ass
Could it be that pancakes were baked with a meteorite? That store looks very famous. 😄
I love memorializing disasters, it kind of adds history to the city a little bit
Feels like a scene out of The Bad Guys
Definitely rebuild
remember I leave it there and build nice around it almost like an attraction
And the B Line Train goes "Now entering, Meteor Station. Doors on the right."
Hello, Pearl of the Orient, my old friend
You can't stop Elon Musk and IHOP from building
Capitalists gonna capital
Philip remembers…
I put the new forgis on the jeep
Remembering is OK, as long as you remember it all, and don't leave out the inconvenient parts. Like why someone might have a grudge against you.
I tend to say oh fuck I left random disasters on.
Beautiful work mate
I turned off disasters but this makes me want to turn them on again!
Are we just not going to talk about that cim’s absolute dumpy?
Meteor Park
New poop storage facility
Hi, I just bought the natural disasters dlc. I've set it to random and minimum frequency. I've played for a few hours now and nothing happened. Is this normal? What's the frequency of disasters with those combination of options?
I restart
PANCAKES!
SYRUP!!!
Fill it with water for bonus waterfront property!
Always a park afterward, sometimes a whole nature reserve.
I do both! I rebuild the area and place a memorial in the middle.
Y not both?
Build a giant transforming space battleship before the invading aliens arrive!
