The PSSO (With The Port of Ossic)

[iamgoingtoeatyou]

incredible refinery owen, all the small lot details are excellent, the photo editing also looks great

[tkirch]

The last two updates were great.

I love the restricted boat access and the refinery is just awesome!!

[emilin]

Excellent stuff. As always. 

It's interesting to see how the level of detail keeps increasing with each new update. At this point I feel that I have to ask: is any of that stuff grown (knowing that you prefer growing your cities, but the level of control over the lots suggest otherwise ) ?

If it is indeed grown it must have been a real pain growing the right stuff.

[Shadow Assassin]

You should post bigger updates, you know.

The oil refinery looks good (well, I don't know what a real one should look like, so meh), it's a chaotic mess with that typical Socialist orderness added.

[SimRabbit123]

ohh yeah pure capitalism.....  j/k


great work, i really like the layout of the oil refinery field.

[Xiziz]

Nice work here Comrade Owen!

[suplado!]

those are awesome massive refineries...i like the pipes...where did you get that? anyway -- great work!

[Strechnitz]

That refinery is stunning!
That surpasses many industrial complexes seen on any forum. exquisite!

come now since when do socialists have reguard for seabeds and life

Ah! such soothing words. you know. I fear that a true socialist may consider it as an offense. Espescialy coming from such a twisted and corrupt Imperialist like me, but, you almost sound like a true Stroponian! lol

I also fear that a selfrespecting socialist regime does not care to have diplomatic ties with the last hopelesly backward, Bourgeous Empire. But shal we start with establishing a mutual trade pact in the meantime? We would love to take some raw materials like your oil of your hands. For a reasonable price of course. well what do you say my Lord? ehrr I mean Comrade?

Strech.

[Emperor Stormont]

Great work.

Replies for the People

Bat - Thank you yet again 

Squidi - Thank you, this time its bigger than normal 

kwakelaar - well I've gotten one of them going, and being impatient I couldn't wait for my smaller gantry crane so i went ahead and built my port. I'll work on some more generic custom lots later to fill out the rest of the harbor as well as a few more BATs.

Daniel (Iamgoingtoeatyou) - Thank you, those lots bugged me forever  but I finally got them all to work.

tkirch - Thank you, that first harbor updates is one of my favorites, glad you liked it also 

Emilin - Depends which images you are talking about, almost all of the wall to wall and tenements are grown (if something just won't grow I'll plop though). Most of the industry (all really) is ploped though. Its about a 75% Grown 25% plopped mix in the zoned areas, in the rest its plopped And yes, sometimes I hate growing things, but I like the result growing more than plopping  You might especially like this update btw.

Daniel (Shadow Assassin) - Yeah, I don't know what one looks like either. All the pipes lead to somewhere though

Simrabbit123 - Bah, capitalism  Thank you for the comment though imperialist

Seb (Xiziz) - Thank ye 

Suplado - The pipes are part of Nob's water set that you can find on his site. I've relotted them though. Glad to see you here considering Im a big fan of your CJ/MD.

Strechnitz - Well both Socialists and Capitalists think of growth, socialists just think about everyone, not just themselves Hope ye got my PM all right?

Emperor Stormont - Thanks.

This Update Dedicated to Robin (rooker1), Adam (Ennedi), & Emilin

For their support, ideas, and imput on the SMPPRP (SMP Port Realism Project)

The first of those ports BATs can be viewed in this upcoming update, I was too impatient to wait for the smaller gantry crane and decided to deal without them, looks okay anyway (well at least I think so). I'm begining to get more time to play Sim City and it should culminate in alot of time over the Holidays, so I hope to produce some more regular updates. If anyone reads the first post again and remembers what the independance day was last time, well I keep moving it back so that I can do a parade, and now that the area around where the parade would take place is complete, all that needs to be done is to render all those tank models and lot em. So expect that I hope. Okay, I'll shut up now and onto the update!

First we see the Контейнерный Терминал, or Container Terminal, of the Порт Одессы, or Port of Odessa. This terminal handles 1.2 million TEU units every year. The berth can dock two 350 m ships at the same time and has a minimum depth of 15 m, so any Container ship can dock here. The two Gantry Cranes serving the terminal are named Khrushchev & Andropov, after former CCCP Premiers. The latter being responsible for the expansion of the role of the Port of Odessa. After the containers are lifted off the ship they are taken via truck to their final destination, or the intermodel facility across the quay. At the inter model facility up to two 1000 m long trains can be loaded at any time to be ready to depart for destinations all over the PSSO and beyond. While a major part of the Port of Odessa, the container terminal is not the largest handler of cargo.

Being a former Soviet Port, I just had to have a wrecked ship 

This next mosaic is of the Центральный Район, or Central District. This district is centered around Duc de Richelieu Square. Duc de Richelieu is the man who is credited with taking Odessa from a small city and making it a premier location of the world. The Square was also the site of the massacre of patriots (rebels) by the Tsar's troops in 1905, though Sergei Eisenstein's famous movie The Battleship Potemkin potrays the massacre as occurring on the Odessa (Potemkin) Steps.

Thats it for today, I hope you enjoyed that  .

[iamgoingtoeatyou]

lmao, nice floating abandoned ship owen just kidding the update was great, 3 amazing mosaics as always my favorite is obviously the last one, love the use of prepo's new lots, a very unique looking city since i haven't seen them used very much yet. great job

[Shadow Assassin]

Nice work! I especially like the "nice" district, as you called it. In all seriousness, everything fits together extremely well, the use of prepo's diagonals really add that extra touch of variety to an area that would otherwise be quite griddy.

[bat]

Fantastic looking port there! Wonderful mosaics of it! And also nice looking central district!!
Great work!

[Strechnitz]

That is one mighty fine looking harbour Yoman!

And yes, I did receive your PM and have answered it.

Strechnitz.

[rooker1]

Awesome work Owen.  The harbour look very well put together.   I am very jealous.  I haven't had as much time as I wish to, to work on my own.    
Your use of daigonal buildings in the city looks very good as well.



Robin   

[emilin]

This is almost too cool. The port looks fantastic!

Once again - the level of detail is stunning. I sincerly hope they move those oil barrels before it trips over the crane.

[Emperor Stormont]

Port looks great as does the town, not so sure about the wrecked ship though.

[sebes]

The level of details in your container terminal is simply amazing - one of the best I've ever same Comrade Yoman. The wrecked ship is giving it a very special touch... very commy!
The housing area in the central district area of Odessa is also very sexy 

[Xiziz]

Prepo's diagonal buildings really add a touch to the citycentre, still think the Broadtech building dosnt really fit into the scene
Next your going to connect this up i hope(me has seen overviewsm you needs it!).
We really need to fix that crane up though, do i smell an automata mod...

[infinitum19]

Good heavens Owen. You deserve these:  .
Love you works pal. I just made it from page 1 to page 5, still starstruck


EDIT: I'm not sure if it was done by mistake or not, but you posted twice in a row, so I deleted the second one, since it didn't say anything that could not be said here. -Dustin (thundercrack83)
