Description

The Workshop Asset Manager contains hundreds of growable building assets organized into sub-collections based on the type, level, and in some cases, the size of the building. This will provide you with much more control over your assets so that you can get the widest variety of assets possible.



There are several ways to use the Workshop Asset Manager.



Growable Asset Starter Pack - The Starter Pack should be the first collection listed below. This collection contains over 200 growable assets spread evenly between the different building types, levels, and sizes. This is a quick and easy way to start and will instantly provide you with a much larger variety of assets than ships with the game. You will still see some repeating buildings, but it shouldn't be nearly as noticeable as with only default assets. These should all work nicely together with no errors. Simply navigate to the Growable Asset Starter Pack collection and click the Subscribe to All box at the top. The Workshop will then download about 650 megabytes of assets to your computer, so it might take a while. If you're on a slow connection, you might want to subscribe to each of them one at a time instead of using Subscribe to All.



Customize Subscriptions - This method allows you to customize your growable assets based on the type of city you building and how you want your city to look. It will take a little longer, but you should end up with the best results using this method. You will need to navigate to each sub-collection for each building size and choose a variety of assets that you like for each building type/level/size. I would probably recommend somewhere between 5 and 10 building assets for each type/level/size. Of course the more you add, the more variety you'll get, but you might experience longer load times and memory issues if you go too crazy.



If you see a building you don't like in the game, simply figure out what type/level/size it is, and then you can easily find it in the Asset Manager to unsubscribe from it.



If you see a building that is showing up too many times, figure out what type/level/size it is, located in in the Asset Manager, and then add some more assets with the same type/level/size.



Modders, it would be very helpful if you included basic information about your assets, including

- Building Level (L1, L2, etc.)

- Building Density (LD, HD)

- Building footprint (2x3, 1x1, etc)

- Screenshot

- Also, please test your asset out by loading in the game using the Asset Editor to make sure there are no errors. It's amazing how many assets are uploaded to the workshop which contain errors.

- ALSO, PLEASE GIVE YOUR ASSETS UNIQUE NAMES!!!! ADD 3 or 4 RANDOM LETTERS TO THE END IF YOU MUST. If you use a generic name, we get errors because someone else has probably used that same name.



I'm still adding more buildings to these collections as I have time. If there are any issues with a building, please report it in the comments and I will remove it from the collection.
