handplacing streetlights is exhausting

That actually looks really good. I honestly hope the devs can come up with some kind of AI that places the lights according to the road layout.

This is a first trial with 7000 auto-placed active streetlights ...for rosctock city (germany) where streetlamp position data is publicly available.  I need to adjust my streetlight LOD levels to view them at the right luminosity at various distances...but this shows it can be done !

fly has chosen a beautiful spot to light up the night..and it looks great.
perhaps white lights should be combined with yellow and some soft orange ... cities are lit today with energy saving lights.
I really liked the place chosen Rostock ,, beautiful ,, I will not miss this opportunity to do some tourism in such a beautiful place.

looks great

thanks !  After some failures I finally think I have found the way to get these tens of thousands of lights working as they should...WITHOUT CAUSING FPS-drops ! both when viewed from the air from a plane and when on the ground, driving through illuminated cities...without the
need to switch any light on by hand. some more weeks to develop unfortunately.

At that point the task will be yours to either hand-place my new lights in the scenery editor or find open-data about lamp-post positions on the web..so that I can add them to the "streetlight-database" ....or a way needs be found to access the road data and place lights just on the side of roads.....but ONE STEP AT A TIME

Coming soon:  preparing a scenery for you ...so that you can immediately enjoy an illuminated village without having yourself to place hundreds of lights.
It  will also be fully driveable (adjusting all the builidngs that obstruct the roads)  ....and more ..

magnificent work fly ,, as always ,,, impressive.
I know you will be able to give life to the environment ,,,, I am convinced that next to those lights, vehicles and trains circulating autonomously ... I think you have it in mind.

Wow impressive work fly77!! 

[fly77]

Thanks guys...soon it will be yours so you can add more details..i will just give you lights and sounds...maybe rails for my train..but just a small track as otherwise its too much work ..I want to finish it. You can allways extend the track then if you wish

[fly77]

OK..today I built about 4 km of the railroad of the village...connecting the two first stops. Enough for enjoying the train once it will be able to follow the sharp turns in this track

You're right ! trains for sure...vehicles maybe...animals  YES ! ...humans ?  ....maybe   ...sounds: everybody can do it for his own location by editing my "Tool for creating custom sound-landscapes (soundscapes) for outerra" https://forum.outerra.com/index.php?topic=3934.0   Instructions are provided for setting up custom local sounds in the scenery editor

and not forgetting night service

Paragliding and soaring are hugely popular sport in the south of France and for good reason. This is where mountainous terrain meets the sea creating world-class flying conditions and ample opportunity to take to the skies all year round. Hot sun draws warm air up south-facing slopes creating thermal rockets perfect for epic cross-country paragliding/soaring.
