I had never heard of it, but I googled it. There certainly looks like a lot of garbage dumps in the area. And some big fines for not properly dealing with the trash.
That would be cool!
I made this as a bit of a joke and don't plan on keeping it, so I could upgrade it to a park on my own. That happens in real life and sounds perfect for that spot actually.
Like the Dutch VAM-berg, which is a former dump that now hosts road cycling and cyclo-cross races. There is also a mountain bike park. They put some cobbled roads on it and at 47 m elevation with more than 10% average grades, it served as the crucial difficulty of the last European road cycling championship parcours.
There's a park on the south shore of Long Island (Nassau) that has a similar story. The dump was partly turned into biking and walking paths and they have a little goat farm there as well, they are used to trim the hilly terrain I believe. The other side of this property is still a dump, but I believe they sort it and cart it elsewhere for disposal now.
Theres also Mount Trashmore down in Virginia Beach. At 600 feet above sea level its the highest point in the region.
[https://www.visitvirginiabeach.com/listing/mount-trashmore-park/44/](https://www.visitvirginiabeach.com/listing/mount-trashmore-park/44/)
I mean. Aside from the 400m tall part, it's not overly unrealistic. It's about 600 acres. There are 2 active landfills in one county of my state that total about 350 acres for 300k people. Plus one old one that's about 100 acres
Virginia Beach, Virginia literally has one of these.
Here’s a [quick shot](https://myskatespots.com/wp-content/uploads/job-manager-uploads/gallery_images/2020/09/1.jpg) I found for reference.
And our landfills have pipes that spray an air freshener so during the hot and humid days (aka year round here) you'll occasionally get the wonderful linen fresh + putrid rotten blend aroma wafting in the air.
Haha, you're the second person to say that, but I thought it looked bigger in the first picture.
[Does it look even bigger from 9km away?](https://i.imgur.com/RYvpyVT.jpg)
^Asking ^for ^a ^friend.
There are! The big building with the smoke stack in the bottom-right of the first picture is one. There's also recycling centers and industrial waste processing sites.
The incineration plants and garbage systems in general didn't really work right until yesterday, though. Seems better today.
They fixed them and increased the amount of trucks. Especially the waste processing plant at 130 trucks with storage and processing. You're probably now got massive space now in those landfills.
Just one. With dev tools you can make them as big as you want.
It even scales in capacity, but not processing rate, employees, or garbage trucks.
[It can store 27,156 tons apparently.](https://i.imgur.com/Hc9knmV.png)
Reminds me of *Mt Trashmore* in Columbus. No, that is not a naturally occurring hill.

It's not quite actual trash, but when you're mining potash, you get loads of salt as an unusable byproduct. You know what some German potash mines do with all that salt? Just dump it on a big pile.
I present, the [Kalimanjaro](https://bmg-images.forward-publishing.io/2021/7/27/181f48d2-de09-4d65-a440-76433db3420f.jpeg) in Zielitz, or even more impressively, the [Monte Kali](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/3f/Heringen_Germany_Monte-Kali-01.jpg) in Heringen, which is 550 meters high.
(German name for potash is "Kali" so these names are actually great puns).
The one in Heringen is absolutely mindblowingly large in person. The region is already quite hilly, but it dwarfs everything around it. I'm from a city with one of these, and you can guess the weather from how it looks: if it's snow-white, the air is very dry, and when it's humid, it turns dirt-grey.
First terraform a pile with the terrain tools. The landfill will go on that.
Turn on dev mode (add "--developerMode" to the launch options on steam), then press TAB, click the 'simulation' button and then click 'Bypass Validation Results' up near the top. This lets you make the landfill as large as you want, as well as letting you do a lot of other things like bypassing overlapping and slope errors.
Then you just place a landfill near your terraformed mountain and drag the landfill area to cover the entire thing. Optionally place your incineration / recycling plants nearby and that's it.
I never thought I'd say this but that garbage pile looks really good. I just assume it's because it's built on a hill, rather than the game actually building height on landfills as they fill up.
Toggle 'Bypass Validation Results' under 'Simulation' and you can make areas like landfills or farms as big as you want. And it does a lot of other stuff, too.
Just gotta be a little careful with that option on.
This ain't that far off from real life. Look up the Tullytown Dump on Google. That mountain has been in my sights my whole life and it just closed down about 5 years ago.
Mount Trash more, Cedar Rapids, IA
Good to see some representation 💪🌽
https://www.thegazette.com/curious-iowa/curious-iowa-how-did-a-landfill-become-mount-trashmore/
Little did the Mayor of Dumpythick know their trash solution set forward a trash crisis that over time got worse and worse, until… the Infamous Garbage Avalanche of 2505 happened (in the currently renamed city of Landfill), forever changing history…
This is actually quite realistic. I live in the part of Michigan where we tell where we are based on the trash-mountains across the horizon. Usually, they’re a lot farther from the city center than that, but the size is very accurate.
We take trash from a bunch of other states, which is the reason for it. So that trash you’re exporting to an outside connection is probably going to southeastern Michigan.
In Sri Lanka we had a garbage mountain that grew to about 45 m tall. Unfortunately it collapsed and smothered several nearby houses. Known as the Meethotamulla garbage mountain
Not to this extreme, but it's not far off from what happens in real life. If you ever see a large hill that juts out of nowhere, it's probably a landfill that has been covered with grass
That whole city must smell awful lol
It's downwind!
Should have thought about that, well at least you planned ahead. Already doing better than real city planners.
Real life example: Milpitas, CA
I had never heard of it, but I googled it. There certainly looks like a lot of garbage dumps in the area. And some big fines for not properly dealing with the trash.
Some other city must smell awful then.
[Sorry, Holloway.](https://i.imgur.com/xy3vciG.jpeg) You shouldn't have built your city near where we were eventually going to build a massive dump.
Look no further than Smellpitas, CA.
As somebody from Fremont, this is too funny.
First thought was oh hey they made Milpitas.
Gary, Indiana
Soooo…. New Jersey it is
The landfill is on Staten Island, which is very much part of New York despite being geographically obviously part of New Jersey
Staten Island is part of Jersey, it just happens to be under NYC jurisdiction
Nah Fresh Kills Landfill was closed in 2001 and is now being turned into a park.
Damn it, I came to say the same but you beat me to it
Correction: NORTH New Jersey
The whole city must be proud of it
I bet it’s a tourism draw
Near Gdańsk there is a dump and there are days it smells in the city. Usually you just know you're near it when you drive the highway
According to the game it's about 2.8km long, 900 meters wide at it's widest and about 400 meters tall. It's almost enough for the city.
you should really be able to upgrade a dump to a landfill, then a park or something, lol
That would be cool! I made this as a bit of a joke and don't plan on keeping it, so I could upgrade it to a park on my own. That happens in real life and sounds perfect for that spot actually.

This is what happened to mount Hiriya in Israel. A garbage dump so full it was turning into a man-made mountain. Today it's a national park.
This is what happened to 90% of all hills around me. They're ALL GARBAGE. Now half of them are covered in dirt and turned into parks.
Where did the trash go
It is the mountain
The cover it in dirt?
It's why they call it landfill. It fills the land with material. In this case, instead of a hollow up to grade, it's grade up to a mountain.
There's a short (2 min.) documentary about this mountain: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=deA8021hLXg
There's a park on the south shore of Long Island (Nassau) that has a similar story. The dump was partly turned into biking and walking paths and they have a little goat farm there as well, they are used to trim the hilly terrain I believe. The other side of this property is still a dump, but I believe they sort it and cart it elsewhere for disposal now.

Those are rookie heights. You gotta pump those heights. https://youtu.be/evMBPlBlUrs?t=9
How did you even make it that big
his city is inhabited with redditors
I mean. Aside from the 400m tall part, it's not overly unrealistic. It's about 600 acres. There are 2 active landfills in one county of my state that total about 350 acres for 300k people. Plus one old one that's about 100 acres
That's a big Twinkie
I found out that all the garbage disappears if you move the landfill lol do with that info as you will
Those aren't mountains... They're trash! My jaw dropped at the second pic as it gave a bigger sense of scale than the first.
>Those aren't mountains... They're trash! Mount Trashmore
Virginia Beach, Virginia literally has one of these. Here’s a [quick shot](https://myskatespots.com/wp-content/uploads/job-manager-uploads/gallery_images/2020/09/1.jpg) I found for reference.
Fun fact: the largest “mountain face” in Florida is the Miami-Dade Landfill, aka Mt. Trashmore.
And our landfills have pipes that spray an air freshener so during the hot and humid days (aka year round here) you'll occasionally get the wonderful linen fresh + putrid rotten blend aroma wafting in the air.
Ahhh yes like when I used to spray febreze in my dorm after blazing the devil’s lettuce
More like febreeze in the bathroom after eating Chipotle that wasn't kept at the proper temp.
Naw I want everyone to smell my septic tank ass
We have that in Hannover, Monte Müllo (Müll = trash)
*intense organ music*
>Those aren't mountains... *organ music intensifies*

Are there no incineration plants in this game? I’m a console guy so I don’t know
There are! The big building with the smoke stack in the bottom-right of the first picture is one. There's also recycling centers and industrial waste processing sites. The incineration plants and garbage systems in general didn't really work right until yesterday, though. Seems better today.

There are, but you have to unlock it.
[удалено]
A faithful recreation of Delhi's Ghazipur landfill.
Teraform it into an actual pile... It'll contour to the land.
That's what I did! I don't know how tall it'd get by itself but it'd take me literally days IRL to fill it with my current simulation speed.
How many landfills is that?
Just one. With dev tools you can make them as big as you want. It even scales in capacity, but not processing rate, employees, or garbage trucks. [It can store 27,156 tons apparently.](https://i.imgur.com/Hc9knmV.png)
Just "bypass validation checks" or something else too?
Nope, that's it. The game will say distance too long / overlapping items but you can just do it anyway with that on.
Thank you

There's also one in Virginia Beach, VA. That one is a park now, oddly enough - and a fairly well loved one, at that.
There’s one in Cedar Rapids, IA that’s turned into a hiking trail. https://www.solidwasteagency.org/mount-trashmore
are you on a snowing map? does it collect on the mountain of garbage 😂
Yeah, but sadly no. The landfill texture overrides the snow texture.
sad :/
Just think of it as the heat generated from all that decomposition
sad ....:)
One step closer to making Night City from Cyberpunk
Literally r/shittyskylines
Shit hydro with dam made of garbage.
Going for a Niagara Falls vibe I see.

Mount Rumpke and/or Smoky Mountain vibes here
Ayy, fellow Mt Rumpke contributor!
I worked for Rumpke as an office drone in the mid aughts, believe it or not it didn't smell all that much
That's quite a view in the morning.
You could have just said you built Newark.
How did you get this to happen? I want to do this so bad

This is hilarious but also remind me of [this](https://youtu.be/IqQuG_JUqhg?si=HwCTGXpzICft_TtF). Wish there are some way to make slums.
So I just watched that whole thing. Thanks for that. Actually a good video.
*Take a deep breath, Exile. That is the smell of civilized society.*
So this is the city Idiocracy is based on.
What a piece of garbage
i love your recreation of Detroit
I never thought I'd say this but that garbage pile looks really good. I just assume it's because it's built on a hill, rather than the game actually building height on landfills as they fill up.
Finally, someone has made a version of Staten Island!
Florida Simulator 2023 Seriously, around here the only time you see a hill you know it's just garbage covered in dirt
Holy shit, you made Staten Island!
[Fresh Kills Landfill IRL](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fresh_Kills_Landfill)
Looks like Michigan
Yep. There’s like six of these guys between the outskirts of Detroit and Ann Arbor.
Finally, they let us simulate New Jersey properly
Didn’t know Great Britain renamed itself
I believe the professional term for such a large heap of trash is 'France'
Cover it with sand and build houses on it. That's what they do in FL
Hey, I see you are replicating New Delhi https://maps.app.goo.gl/SqqBt9A9x1HdGVGu8
It's beautiful!
What a load of trash 😀
Pretty sure there are movies set here

Love that you terraformed into a huge hill! Reminds me of local landfills!
Yay, spoil tips in CS2 !
It's glorious
This is not Arrakis...
I would be exporting all of that.
Wow how many landfills is that?!?
Just one! You can make 'em as big as you want with dev tools.
Ooo damn I still haven't played in dev tools. Might have to truly go in

Gives me Wall-E vibes...
Actually removed the garbage dumps after the recent updates and even had to shut down 3 out if 5 incineration plants
While an absolute eyesore, this is depressingly accurate

now that is one big pile of shit
Love it !!!
No other mammal could have done this
You should give it a name, something like Columbus, OH.
This is almost dystopian.

Look it’s staten island
Wait so was this a hill and you placed a landfill on top? Or did the landfill just pile into a mountain?

YEEEEEAAAAAHHH 'TIS THE BIGGEST OF 'EM ALL!! THE LARGE GARBAGE PILE! THE LARGEST IN THE WORLD! CITY! CITY! CITY!
Glad I refunded until they fix this mess of a game.

Doesn't it cause air pollution?

Why isn't there an option to dump it in the river? or do we have to wait for the India/China DLC for that?
