  • In well-established cities, over time there becomes a demand to facilitate long-distance travel throughout the entire city core, which necessitates the construction of highways. When such a thing is not possible due to the abundance of skyscrapers and other allocated lands, they repurpose or repave certain streets into parkways or “avenues”.

    Sometimes, no modifications are made whatsoever except for the traffic signaling system where there are discrete “blocks” of green light traffic allowing you to travel a mile in the city before you hit another red light (for instance heading north on Broadway, New York City).

    Zigzagging through local streets is a surefire way to run into red lights and stop signs, reducing your “average speed” and increasing your total trip time.











  • It’s 0.666× time scaling max, and 0.0625 min.

    One second in the simulation occurs roughly every 16 “real seconds” if on a direct pipe in a closed instance with a superuser.

    There’s a time warp/stretching factor which slows down or speeds up the time simulation, allowing for extremely complex physics calculations to occur in what appears like real time, it’s all lerped to synchronize with unitary clock, so even a 16 Hz explosion looks like 480 Hz.

    To avoid crashing, light-speed has been capped just below the engine maximum of 300,000,000 m/s² at
