Flatlands 2.5 Infrastructure+ [FINAL]

A modified version of Flatlands (2.5) by the generous @Mulleboy (with permission) that aims to improve the starting infrastructure while keeping the original theme and terrain true to the original. Modified and uploaded with permission from the original author; if you like this, please also give a like to the original.


• Railway: Removed a crossing that went through the West-East Highway out of normal city boundaries that could slow traffic with crossing trans. Added a half clover interchange (see related asset below) to connect the two rail systems. Reasoning: potential traffic congestion on the main highway, immersion-breaking, and may help route trains, especially if you don't use mods to edit outside of 9 tiles such as 25 tiles with an infrastructure connection editor, 81 tiles, or an infrastructure connection editor
• Highway: Changed the starting area to be a 4-way interchange (using a second smooth interchange) with end caps on either side since I always ended up building a 4-way there. This isn't necessarily final and I may change it back to stay truer to the original, or I may move it further north and put the north exit in the adjacent city tile for your expansion rather than start, to give the starting city area more space.
• Bridges: A personal aesthetic and slightly compulsive quirk, it bothered me that many ships - cruise ships in particular - clipped the bridge. I raised the bridge to 24m (double height) and elevated the highway through parts of the urban areas to reduce grade shifts and give space to build both future service interchanges and easier build up around them without tunnels or bridges. The cruise ship "wings" still slightly clip the bridge but it's by a hair, instead of part of the entire upper deck colliding with the highway inextricably with no consequences.

• Railway: fixed West-East and north/south rail bridge (previously not raised to 24m)
• Highway: moved west-east highway further up and out-of-the-way; so that the highway is actually outside of the starting area. the 4 way interchange leading into the city should have one into the start tile and one to the immediate north. (Somewhat lazily) added trees to cover up areas that were moved

Save games will not be affected; you will need to start a new city or manually replicate the changes if you have started already

(Both are intersections and should not require separately subscribing, however, I highly recommend, and as always, if you like them or their inclusion, be sure to drop them a like too.
