- Today we're continuing our mission of stabilizing our finances and trying to turn a profit in Easthaven County, Massachusetts, after the Economy 2.0 patch resulted in a massive deficit and loss of a third of our cash reserves. This prompts some new big expansions to the county to increase the tax payer base, and we're kicking off with expansions to the oldest city in the county, Chowder Bay. This includes a rough crime-ridden neighborhood, uniquely nestled between train tracks and the port, a big sprawling 1960-70s suburb utilizing an easy asset-editor trick for increased housing variety, a suburban office park utilizing the all-new water surfaces, and last but not least a revamp of Downtown Chowder Bay with the addition of new parking, new buildings, and some custom "mid-rise" office towers I created in the asset editor. Hope you enjoy!

Thank you all
Infra
The longer the better! Keep them coming, thoroughly enjoying all your videos
Have you managed to look at the new patch update 😀😀
My only bit of feedback is to use sound barriers less. Except for on major corridors, there is rarely the funding for them, and they can be difficult to justify. (:
i think a larger city would make more sense on the mainland and the islands should be generally smaller low rise communities.
I agree! I think going NW of the train line at the foot of the mountain would be the perfect place as it has enough space to have american looking sprawl!
So you don't know anything about Singapore and Hong Kong huh
@@jeffbac1889 its an american build
Sometimes I don't know whether I like playing CS2 or watching you play it more LOL
Those white retaining walls of the railway tunnel in Butler Hill are screaming for some graffiti!!
Thats a great idea!!!
I hate graffiti in real life.
@@miro007istyou haven't seen any good graffiti prob
@@RozKounelakion good graffiti does not exist. 100% of graffiti is shit and ruins buildings.
@@miro007ist yeah that makes sense. Business owners definitely pay graffiti artists a shitton of money to paint their buildings because they want to ruin them and not because they look good
You are going to love the new free update for more details on this city
You're right on the money - I absolutely love the new update and can't wait to use all the new stuff!
@@Infrastructuristthat update looks like it was tailor made for people like you, all the hardcore RUclips City Builder players 😁
Step in the right direction. I will however wait like at least another 6 months before I touch it again.
@@Gentleman...Driver it is good to wait a bit more since they are probably going to patch some stuff from this new updates
@@InfrastructuristOnce I saw CPP's video outlining the new assets, all I could think of was "I wasn't WAIT to see Infra use these!!" So....next video when???
The best thing about your videos is the joy/laugh expression when you encounter some silly circumstance in the game like at 34:45 :D
😁😁😁😅
I have resigned myself that this game will never come to Xbox so I will jealously (and happily) continue to watch these videos.
It will come to xbox, before 2028! And when that day comes.. You'll be ready!
Same
I think it coming in October
It's been said October, but that means it's a year late, so 2028 does look realistic
@@squib612that’s insane 😢
I like the idea of having a bigger/ major city north of westpoint so there can be some distance from the suburbs and small city of Chowder Bay. I think Chowder Bay and the lower surrounding areas are more tailored to people who are looking for a quiet town and somewhere to retire in
Good music+realistic layout+humble comedy+clear turquoise water+ Bushes & trees = Happy days. I've been following you since the first few video on cs1 🥰
Loving the evolution of the city and happy to see that the game is moving in the right direction too!
Same here Mark - seeing a very bright future ahead for CS2!
Let's gooooo! Infrastructurist made a video! I think it should be an official international holiday, when Infrastructurist makes a video!!!
Best CS2 series so far, along with CPP's Magnolia County ! Just awesome
Thank you Jean!!
I think adding a patch of low density commercial across from the office park in Chester would be a nice touch. Maybe manually add a super market, gas station and a couple of restaurants to serve the offices and that new suburban area makes sense.
Worth mentioning that the game has been optimized very well in the past last year, and I can even run a decently sized city of 100K population on my Rtx 4060 Legion laptop. Needless to say my 300K big city only runs on my 5900x RTX 3080 desktop, and it is conveniently warming up my whole room :P. Also, love your content! Thanks!
Yeah it has improved massively :D
did you see the new detailers patch? Also, you could call it Rogueport after Paper Mario Thousand Year door lol
You bet, already experimenting with some stuff and can't wait to apply it to our cities!
For the empty lot in the port, I think a unique (maybe another custom asset) modern mid-rise apartment building would work well with some custom outdoor areas to fill out the empty space, pergolas, benches, etc. Not the most exciting suggestion, but it offers good views and modern redevelopment around ports is pretty common. It could also help a bit with the residential demand.
Knowledge form CPP stream's: In economy 2.0 if you set your taxes above 12 % you will get less money than you should.
Booost
One new addition after yesterday stream setting worth of trying: population tax lower ~10% to boost leisure time and demand and that higher commercial tax (12 -14%) not my numbers but the chat suggestions
Question: does your game crash randomly since playing with mods?
I've been wanting to play more but every session usually ends with some random crashes since using mods. Yesterday was after i placed a custom parking building, before that was with road builder when i tried to put train track on a road lol. i save often, but it's annoying when you finally get into a build and it crashes.
Do you have to deal with random crashes too?
Love what you did with the office buildings. I wish we had more medium size office buildings. It's very much low density then skyscrapers which I feel is a huge missed opportunity in the game. This region has come together so beautifully! I love your building and detailing style so much
Glad you loved it, and I fully agree! Fortunately custom zones are a thing and I expect to see more official ones released (starting with the region packs) so who knows just how many options we have down the line for mixing zones and getting the exact look we want :-)
Thank you for the kind compliment!
Really love your videos! So chill vibes, good music and amazing content. Butler hill turned out to a really cool district, would love to see more run down areas with graffiti and trash. Would be so cool with a small town with like an industrial ship yard and lots of ships laying around or waiting just outside! Keep it up man!!
Thank you!! I appreciate the kind compliment and the feedback :-)
Love your videos so much. And the game is really improving. Todays update was a nice surprise.
I am so happy to hear that Anders. And fully agree, can't wait to dig in!
I finally love the game too, (took to long for this day) after the detailer patch from yesterday the game finally has (for now) a acceptable variety and overall the game feels now more completed. The game had a bad start but has now a base for future updates without needing extra updates ( for me) for basic gameplay (with mods). The game is now with the economy 2.0 patch more complicated, so you really thinking of what you’re doing/placing/… and it doesn’t feel like unlimited money mode for a much longer time. You now check the taxes for example if you didn’t before and the game is finally overall not behind Cities Skylines 1 ( for me ) They finally brought us the right updates and as we know variety will get bigger (region packs). So I hope that from now on the game really grows to a really big master peace and that they learned from their mistakes with the beach properties and San Francisco packs.
bro i honestly admired you, your capacity of building its just on another world. I´m only on the 16th minute and im impressed by your work and your level of detailing. keep it up, love your work
So where do you work? I work in the High Street Office Complex on Subbasement Level -69.
Why is the game paused while detailing?
I am afraid that 2 minutes will pass and my budget will be wrecked once again... Economy 2.0 shellshocked :'D
@@Infrastructurist😅 ah understandable
Fairview Pond would be a cool name for the office complex you made to attract workers from outside to come to a workplace with nature.
Love the city! it's looking great, What map are you using? Did you create the map as well?
Great episode. I’m loving the upzoning of Chowder bay but seeing my home state represented is so much fun regardless of where the city goes from here!
I’d say for the third location, it should be on one of the vacant islands because there would be enough room for expansion, with room to build how you want and can build efficient connections.
Guys, if you want positive income you have to check your production tab. When your city is importing more goods (oil, cole, grain etc.) than its produces, your income will be negative. You have to use your resources on the map! For example: if you built the coal power plant when you start your city and you have no coal mining your city will import expensive coal and in most cases your income will negative in the thousands.
I quite enjoy your way of laying out new residential areas. Every zone has a unique look compared to square layouts. :)
From what I saw in other playthroughs in Economy 2.0, you need lower taxes for commercial and industrial to encourage companies to move in and that will combat the extreme unemployment rate. When the unemployment rate drops to 5% or lower you'll see your budget on green most likely. Of course, you still need to fill the demand for commercial and offices (the latter demand was over the roof in your video)
Adding more population won't solve your budget problem as it is now.
All your outro songs are sooo good
Pickleball court on that dock!!! You can use the tennis court assets to achieve it probably, and very common in growing cities in the US
I personally love the longer vids!
@infrastructurist
very satisfying to watch you play when I cannot due to so many factors (mainly time, pc, and skill!). I was an avid sc4 player. To get even more from your videos, is it possible to request a higher priority to watching buildings be built in simulation timelapses? I am always so curious how your zoning/parking/other changes pan out but instead the video tends to skip to when it's already built which makes it harder to tell what changed. Thanks!
Can't wait for the next episode ... and the point of buying CS:2 is coming closer and closer to me. Looks really good now, not that sterile anymore.
Keep on like this - I love your Cities :)
Suggestion for that empty lot by the harbor: I’m not even sure if this is a thing but right next to that new office building feels like there should be some sort of abandoned infrastructure from the old port. So how about a communications office/ tower. Sort of like ATC at airports but for the port but since new development it has been fazed out and left to rot.
Ah, that could be kind of cool!
can we take a moment to appreciate how _insane_ this guys city designing skills are
I'm falling in love with your cities!!!! I really love your style and attention to details!
Hi first timer right here just subscribed, great city content, I think the zoning toolkit mod can be handy for you
Hello! What mod allows you to see the profitability of commercial zones? Thanks!
It’s nice to see someone try and make the Economy 2.0 patch work instead of just doom and gloom
Cities skylines two just updated again! They added another detailers patch I’m loving it!
It would be awesome to see you start a new city following all the recent updates and how they've fundamentally changed the mechanics.
I can already picture the giant white “NO ENTRY TO EASTBOUND CAPE ROSE EXPRESS” sign posted next the southbound lane on Heather Lane, in the office park. Basically an exclusive extra exit point for suburbanites. How realistic.
Excellent video! Thank you :)!
How do you use manipulation mode without causing changes in elevation? Every time I try to extend my merge lanes I end up with motocross looking whoop-de-dos. Can you only do it on flat ground?
I love that you have a serious unemployment problem so you provide parking by removing loads of businesses... the trick with the mid-rise offices is a good one though I'll grant. You could even go back and tweak the number of workplaces in the Editor. Those will retro fit into the city.
Oh, and have you seen that surfaces now orient to the initial line drawn? Hidden gem of the Detailers Update #1
Chester, by coincidence in real life, is a small town in Western Massachusetts with a clothing shop, two restaurants, an ice cream shop, a cafe, and a dance theater in the town hall. It is a very sweet small town with different areas within the town, including Chester Factory Village (the post railroad town center), Chester Center (the original town center), and North Chester (a small former mill area).
you should use the branch off at the port to make a central tower. I think it would add more coolness into chowder bay
My vote is for a custom, midrise fancy hotel, maybe with a built-in cafe that overlooks the water for the empty lot.
I will love it too when I don’t crash every 10 minutes for no reason
If you havent, verify your files. Sometimes youll get some files missing that can cause a crash. Also make sure your drivers are updated.
@@88balloonsonthewall70 oh man if you knew how much more I did than verify my files.
Damn. I get how that is a real dealbreaker :-/
@@pelikangabor damn that really sucks.
@@pelikangabor hey did you try going into cmd and using the scannow thingy? Google it, it might help
A bridge upgrade would be cool! You could raise it up and build a park around it !
I have not tuned into a CS2 video in forever. This is crazy, how much is mods and how much is vanilla?
What themes are you using on the map texture replacer?
do you have any re texture packs on? your dirt looks different
At 36:45 you have found an easy solution to spend less money. Just remove trees because they have an upkeep cost ^^
But I love big Oaks and i cannot lie!
@@Infrastructurist the other broadleaves can't deny?
Chester would ABSOLUTELY have continued out to the beach. The beach is public land, but the lots right up against it would be expensive private homes or commercial. Or possibly leaving the forest against the beach as public forest.
i swear you're single-handedly curing my ADHD with these hour long videos...
or making me waste my day, one of the two.
Why not both! :D
Been binge watching your content, you are amazing!
On your empty spot on the docks, I'd see a shared space for street food trucks/shops and bars where people can enjoy the view. Nothing to expensive as it's in a busy/polluted area.
I would see it in the spirit of Ground control in Paris.
Do you already have assests for this kinda of place ?
Your run down dead end street kind of reminded me of Rue Marnix, Seraing, Belgium. If you need inspiration for what old run down industrial towns look like check out Liège and Charleroi in Belgium.
How do you remove any kind of trees with the bush? When I use it, My game just remove the selected vegetation to clean
As the company bordering the empty lot, I would buy it and then expand my office. I would be cool if it had skybrigdes connecting the buildings like the new High School!
I like how during 54:55 it feels like you were going to end the episode there until you saw the unemployment 😂
Have you returned as many tiles as you can in order to reduce the tile upkeep cost? I found this to help the most to rebalance my finances. I had the entire map unlocked. One of the tile mods, 529 Tiles, I think, allows you to return all the tiles and them allow you to repurchase only the ones you need.
It's so inspiring to watch you. I keep trying to imitate your creative ideas in my city, but unfortunately I always find that I lack the creativity and patience. In the meantime, I'd rather watch you than continue building my own city. Thank you!
Thank you for the kind compliment and support Lukas! Appreciate it 🥰🥰
I wish I had the patience and the brain for a game like this.
I really enjoy the game too, the only bad thing is that a day only has 24 hours : (
love your port btw looking really pretty
Maybe it a fun an idea to build a tollway at a bridge ? Keep up the work I love the vids ❤
When using the vegetation brush you're able to select multiple trees and bushes. Would you please share the name of that mod?
The empty are in the Port would be a great Spot for a museum with a ship that you can look at.
I can't help but wonder if you want to totally redo this video after the new detailing patch. It was custom-made for this map and it's issues!
One small note: at about 45:00, when you're adding the additional lanes from Chester, I think the very small segment would be better served with the lane on the other side of the road, so it can accommodate the new connections.
And Second :)
Thnaks Infra , keep doing so great.
I think a great custom bridge would be nice for ChowderBay !
Thanks buddy! I might have to look into a new bridge - you mean instead of the existing one between Chowder Bay and Cape Autumn? :-)
A city would explain why there is a bypass on the highway through chowder bay. So one of the islands past chowder bay. like a key west really packed.
How do you get the sea walls? I miss those from CS1!
That pond is a little too dark, at a bad angle looks like a hole. But otherwise a very nice look, I wonder if other surface options are a little brighter.
Something I would really appreciate is if you were to list the names of the newer mods you begin to use, in the description. In fact, mod curation in general is a big draw for me.
I was watching and I noticed that as you added more trees and bushes, your revenue keep going down and we're losing more money. Is there a fee for forest upkeep or something?
I quite like this city. Good stuff!
Maybe instead of a new city development a university district, similar to brown university in providence, could be really cool. Lots of examples of new england towns with universities as a integral part of the landscape. Don't know how it would work with economy 2.0 but something like a large main campus, sports fields, higher density student neighborhoods and a main street with shops and nightlife. There's probably a bunch of cool custom assets that could be used as well. could help with unemployment as well
Those super nodes look absolutely terrifying without a traffic light. It would be a major deciding factor not to move into that area. Realistically, those intersections would have a traffic light, they're everywhere in the States.
How about Butler *Terrace? It fits the landscape, plus “hill” is used already in the adjacent neighborhood.
"I jumped into the acid earlier" ~Infrastructurist 2024
A lot of ports have a Port Authority building. You could put that on the lot.
Can't wait to see what you will do in the next video already. This city is absolutely fire 🔥🔥
What outstanding issues are there still? I am tempted by the sincere patch devs put in there but still hesitant to buy
Love watching your video bro, as I always do. Although cannot afford to buy this game, I just keep watching evey time you uploading a new video.
How do you make it not crash? Just tried starting a city literally a minute ago and each time i clicked on the water symbol to place a pump, the game closes.
would the new city be more fitting on the North side of westpoint island?
As an acoustic with no standards put it next to the trains… chugachugachugachuga chooochoooo
I love the videos and that empty lot should be a high rise hotel named after me because I could be some businessman who owns a hotel
what map do you use
Everytime i place custom assets my building become abandoned. What im missing? From your videos i've never seen you placing zoning under your custom assets. Please help!
you need the mod: "plop the growables"
@@felix166 thank you a LOT!
Could you adjust the tile upkeep cost? I’ve seen other creators do it to make it not so punishing a cost.
Little old maritime museum on the old pier? (Mystic Seaport (Mystic, CT) -mini - style?)
I want to love CS2 so much, but without bikes, it's just hard to love knowing I'll have to redo EVERYTHING to put bike infrastructure in I hope soonish update.
Do you have a tutorial where you show how to get such beautiful floor ground textures (this grass)?
Hi, great video! Can you tell me what is that map theme?
maybe place it right on the edge of the map, either as a farther out town, or as incoming sprawl of a larger metropolitan area or something
How are you viewing the additional information about businesses, such as balance/rent/profitability?
