Simmer's Lotting Lab.

Wonderful set 

This encourages me to get my citizens a district heating. These huge pipes (most of the diameter is for isolation, though) in the middle of residential blocks of former socialist Germany are quite distinctive. They feature lots of S-curves, serving as an expansion joint.

[belfastsocrates]

That's a good idea. I use district heating in Passau and I would combine these with Mushy's planned geothermal plant. Most pipes are underground as in NY but some above ground would look good as well

[Akallan]

Your work is impressive, as always! It is very realistic, and it reminds me my job! Every day I build pipes like the picture of Seaman, only smaller!

[Simmer2]

An MML is now available as an option for the set.
Release date has been tentatively set for Oct 1.

@belfastsocrates Thank you!

@dyoungyn Thanks! Keep following this thread for the final release date.

@gn_leugim Thank you! The set was was made to simulate aqueducts however because I did not use any markings on the pipes, they can be used to convey any fluids or gas you wish 

@MushyMushy Thank you Mushy! I made these pipes with a 0.9m inner radius and 1m outer for a total of 2m in diameter.

@korver Thanks! Now that you have a copy of them, shows us what you can do

@Seaman Wow! I had no idea those even existed! Thank you for showing me 

@Akallan Thank you!

Here are a few more pics showing what you can do with the pipes.

WOW!!! Simply WOW!!!  Now that is sweeet to FINALLY see a dragable network under a land bridge   This reminds of the pipeline across Alaska.

Well, the wait time for my coastline and marine MMPs is over. Grab it here http://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=3402

Interesting stuff you are making. 

[Tyberius06]

I've never felt the patience to playing with MMPs in big amount or areas, but after these... I think I find the spot on my current map, where I can use them... 

Thank you! 

[Vizoria]

Cool stuff! Those underwater blocks will complement the block rip-rap set.

[gn_leugim]

Note to myself: when getting home today, donwload this awesome mmps

[Shark7]

Hmmm...

I see realistic coast lines and coral reefs in my future...I wonder why? 

Downloading now. 

[Akallan]

Wow! Your work is admirable!

[Simmer2]

Drive by post...
In the process of moving at the moment but I found time to start a new project.

I'm batting and lotting a series of abandoned trains stops. Trying to convey a sense of decay and abandonment.

Trains will still cross the lots, some are still barely functional and some are just completely left to the inclement of time.

Here is a DTR one, placed in the sleazy part of the map....still functional.

it's a bit short, but I guess that's why it's abandoned

[vinlabsc3k]

Great creations, Nick!
A little suggestion: make the abandoned train stop longer as 4 tiles and make dilapidated shelters full of graffiti.

Great suggestion regarding the graffiti. I'm also making longer ones.

[Shark7]

I agree with the suggestion to lengthen the abandoned stop a bit.  I think the the extra length would help make it blend in more and not stand out quite as much.

[Simmer2]

Better?

[dyoungyn]

Most definitely much better and a little more realistic.  Great job and keep em coming.

[Tyberius06]

Yepp, it's better Thanks!
