Building BIG in Cities Skylines 2: Downtown Expansion & Massive Industry Zone
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- Continuing the expansion of our Realistic North American Cities Skylines 2 city Riverview, with some minor revamps of the two ports of the metropolitan area, upzoning inner-city areas to promote more row-houses, medium-density apartment blocks and skyscrapers - before comitting to a huge office and industry park south of East Riverview, in an attempt to curb our growing unemployment figures, which peak at almost 5000! Hope you enjoy!

you could call it Ville Fluviale which translates to River Town in French. The story is like the French settled across from the english in the Riverview valley and founded Ville Fluviale.
As a seperate location to downtown you could do a financial high rise district to use some office demand but not sure you’ve got a spot for it yet, definitely the best cs2 city on RUclips
this is one of the best CS2 cities on RUclips. you can buy tiles to the edge of the map and build a functional port. should work nicely since the ships look kinda like river boats
Maybe the area should be named : Riverpool ( Since these row houses look like UK houses) And it could be a British Business man that came to Riverview and bought off the old low density houses to make money and stack out a lot of people in one area and max out profit…
for “Black Bird Terrace”, you should call it “Waterfront Village”.Naming it 'Waterfront Village' just feels right because it paints a picture of a chill and friendly spot right by the river. It's all about a relaxed, community vibe with that sweet river view - a perfect place to kick back and enjoy life.
Since this is an American themed city, you could name the row house neighborhood "Cobbs Creek" in recognition/honoring a Philadelphia neighborhood of rowhouses that the Police bombed May 13, 1985 with 2 satchel bomb laced with Tovex and C-4 explosives from a helicopter, killing 11 (including 5 children) and burning down Sixty-one homes leaving more than 250 citizens homeless.
Wow. I didnt expect that but ok
While the other occupants didn't deserve it, MOVE most certainly did
The police are not judge jury and executioner in a democracy what you want is fascist@@crymoreii7011
Casually didn’t mention that area was occupied by domestic terrorists. doesn’t make it ok, but still intentional misinformation
Hey! I personally think you should put more of those high buildings near the bridge in Blackbird Terrace, it gives a sort of Brooklyn/Manhattan Bridge vibe. I love this series
A park and ride to train/tram would be cool for cims coming into the region from outside - lots of US metros have them - not the best land use around stations but it fits the vibe.
loving the series!
It is crazy how much you’ve built in just a few episodes!
No kidding. He makes me feel like a total noob. Oh wait, I am a total noob. I hope someday my cities look half as good as his.
Yours, Imperatur and 2$ twenty's are the best I've seen so far when it comes to creativity and details in CS2 content. Hope you keep this up for us to learn from, very good job. Your builds are authentic and have raw mistakes which you rectify also, I mean this as a compliment. Its very real
WOW!! You are by far my favourite CS2 content creator. It's amazing how you can manage to keep these builds fresh with so limited content in the vanilla game so far. Next time you will have residential need would be great to see a semi-self functional town at the edge of the map, perhaps connected to the Riverview by train and highway only
Can I suggest that you use your points to get better police stations rather than the basic one you get when you start the game including the fire department upgrading those building so you could get a fire department helicopter for your farther districts. Also I would love to see the unique buildings the game has added love the series and can’t wait to see more uploads
I've been enjoying your series in lieu of playing C:S 2 while I wait for Paradox and CO to finish developing their game. Thanks for showing how beautiful the new cities can be!
You're welcome Terrence 😊!
You build beautiful cities! Found your channel with this series and have watched a couple of your older videos too. Love from 🇫🇮!
Mäkin oon Suomesta! 🇫🇮❤️
perkelee
I have been following you for two years and I am always one of the first to watch your brother from Tunisia 🇹🇳🇹🇳🇹🇳
Much appreciated! Love from Denmark 😊
Touness fil galb 💕💕
I absolutely love Riverview!! You could build some mountain villages one a lot of tourism and another with mines :)
A metro going to the new industrial zone would help a lot, especially with some bicycle lanes to move within the zone. Also a scenic tourist area with pedestrian zoning on the river would be hella cool. I have to say it, this is one of the best looking cities in cs i've ever seen. Keep it up🙌
Bike lanes don’t exist yet :(
Wow! What a guy! Not only very creative during building his city, but the whole video is made in a perfect way. Good music, good cuts, good acceleration of time if needed. Excellent job!
Thank you for the compliment! ☺
You could add 1 or 2 low density commercial buildings for Sterling, so the workers can grab something to eat during their lunch break.
Milton Shores
The townhouses were built for the mill workers. The area was called Milltown. Over time, it was shortened to Milton. The mill is long gone, but the townhouses remain.
New sub here ..Was about to rewatch one of your previous vids of Riverview, pleasant surprise to see a new upload :D You are amazingly talented, and have helped me with making my own cities look so much better. Thank you!
Thank you for the compliment Josephine! 😊
This is the most beautiful city I’ve ever seen created in any of the city games, AND IT HAS NO MODS. Inspiring
speaks to the potential of the game, its going to be insane in the future.
If you think this city is more beautiful than a heavily modded CS1...or even mid modded CS1 city, you've actually never seen an actual beautiful city created in a city builder. Sorry man.
best looking CS2 city I've seen, really showcases the better scale that cs2 has.
Would love to see your take on a stone quarry using the terrain tools as either piles of rock or sinking into the earth.
The city is expanding some more I’d like to live there if it was real.
This is brilliant! And for that area in East Riverview I suggest Little Italy, as it looks almost the same as in Toronto and represents Italians moving into the region creating the best pizza restaurants in the RMA😊
Ohhh boy I play the game and think to myself "Well my city does look kinda good" ... then I go on YT and see what you guys are coming up with. :D
you should expand public transit, maybe even with subways! Riverview reminds me of some of the denser cities in America like Chicago, Philly or New York, which tend to have subway systems. Could also mean the reduction of parking lots, particularly in downtown
10:29 A water pump doesn't need water, it needs a place to get rid of it. :)
These little misshaps with the editor notices were such a cute touch to the video. I love it!
Amazing city, outstanding music, great vibes. Liked and subbed.
Thank you Thank you, much appreciated 😊😊
The way you lay out cities satisfies my urban planning brain. Best-looking C:S2 cities on RUclips, hands down.
Also your timelapse music is a really great vibe every time.
i got myself loving more this city whenever every new episode comes out :D
I've been craving for this video.
42:00
In the middle of a forest you should have a local fire station too.
You have a beautiful city, and I hope to see more public transportation, and more unique buildings being built. Also, that small island in the middle of the river could have a Ferris's wheel or a museum .
I love that in your montage of building the new industrial/office/commercial district, you have shown me how to properly split and merge the road into and off a high way. Thank you
I have heard that the "not enough customers" complaint is a bug
Just to let you know that according to Biffa & other CSP the “Rent Complaint” is a Glitch which the developer is working on to fix
I thought that was the "not enough customers" complaint.
Not only is your infrastructural planning so highly qualitative, and your all around thoughts about your city, those time lapse with the ultimative song choice... Really appreciate this.
Maybe that new row house district, Blackbird, could be an old town historical district. Small sized brick mixed use buildings. Many old US cities on rivers have something like this. The one where I live is called Ybor City. I live in Tampa FL metro.
Dang, every time I watch your episodes I get a huge urge to start over. I'm struggling with making my city look as nice as yours.
Ha! That's exactly the same technique I used for creating my own port (before the Harbours DLC comes). For small fishing ports and the like you can get really nice effects by using the pedestrian paths too. Excellent build again: I think I'm going to need my own "Sterling Industrial Zone" too...
The rowhouse district could be named Stockport as it was developed in place of a previous and older port that used to be there before. But as the city expanded and 2 new ports were developed making the older one obsolete, there was a need for housing as well as development in the close city center of East Riverview. As a location of historical significant to the port, it was redeveloped into housing for port workers that migrated into the city to work at those newer and more modern shipyards.
내가 본 모든 CS2 도시 중에서, 당신의 도시는 가장 현실적이고 아름답습니다. 결과를 계획하고, 실험하고, 관찰함으로써 행정 서비스가 확장되고 있다는 것도 멋집니다. 또한, 건물의 외관을 아름답게 하기 위해 타일을 선택하는 것도 매우 흥미롭습니다. 도로 설계 과정은 정말 보기 좋아요.
That quay wall method looks 1000% easier than the other method. I was pulling my hair out trying to get a nice smooth, level quay.
Was one of your 80% viewer, totally didn't realized. Subscribed!
Welcome aboard! 😊
This honestly is the best looking city of city skylines 2 on youtube yet. Expecting more great cities out of you.
Man I am absolutely in love with your video's.
From the calming intro, explaining what your plans are, to the timelapses with the great music and the beautiful cinematics at the end!
I can watch this on its own, as background noise and even when taking a little nap! :D
Really pleased to hear that you enjoy so many aspects of my format. Awesome! ☺
So far one of the best cities skylines content in RUclips. Keep it up!!
Really addicted to this series, great job! Thanks a lot :) Do you think it's possible to go a little bit more "futuristic" in CS2 and create car-free inner city zones and stuff like that? Would love to see the potential of public transport to reduce car usage.
This video reminds me so much of the in-game radio station.
30:31 Its like a radio station transition haha :)
This is so far the best Cities:Skylines 2 city I’ve seen, the way you zone is incredible and is inspiring me to change the way I play because it looks phenomenal
Your channel has been growing like crazy recently and it’s so exciting to see, can’t express how much you deserve it!
I swear this guy is the GOAT of CS2
24:09 dude this intersection was Amazing
This is my favorite cities skylines 2 series out there! It’s probably the only one I can watch for hours straight, and the city itself looks AMAZING! ❤❤❤
don't know if this was mentioned allready but you could build nice docks by draining the area of water first, placing roads on the bottom part so that the quay wall shoots upward. Afterwards you let the water fill the area again and the roads will be under water. (Renaming them to . will clear the road name poking through the water) This way your factories could come up right next to the water.
A little trick I learned with population demand for medium and dense housing. Always check the last few buildings you just zoned to see how many people are living there. If they are near full you can zone some more if there is still a demand. If they are not full, wait until they are before you build more. Also, if you want to build high density housing, DONT any more medium density. I built a ton of medium density and my peeps moved out the high density into the medium. Making them abandon the high density buildings. I then turned all that new medium into row houses and they mov3d back into the high. The lesson learned is it's a balancing act between the medium and high density buildings.
As a guy who loves highway infrastructure, I thought the title said “massive interchange”, which is something I’d love to see in this city soon.
I suggest you use the middle island as a high rise high wealthy place to give it some importance to the city
AH I’m so excited you don’t even know man!
My favorite city in CS2 so far. Thank you and keep it up!
You‘re like Bob Ross of building cities! I find your videos pretty useful, congrats on the great content!
Do you have any plans for that island?It might be cool to have pedestrian walkways to it with a nice park In it
I don't know why people complain about performance. I run a prebuilt with a Ryzen 5000 series 3 (outdated) and can still enjoy the game on low settings.
I think its fair people expected more optimization at launch, but personally I dont mind it - runs pretty smooth and nicely on my machine with a few tweaks 😊
@@Infrastructurist Same here, as long as I do not get to close to the citizens I'm fine. If I do, my CPU throws a fit.
As a person who has played who Sim City and Cities Skylines is the later is just a big traffic management simulation game. Yes I appreciate the game extremely well adapted features that far beyond Sim City of any generation, but the thing is you always end up your time looking at the constant flow of the traffic.
With SimCity 2013 I never had to worry about traffic because the concept was clear and effective. It had trams, subways, maglev , buses.
I LOVE this series. Keep it up my guy. Much love
I also noticed that note from commercial that they don't have enough customers can be because of 2 additional things:
1. at night demand is lower, so there will be more notifications about low demand
2. sometimes game spawns a lot of similar businesses. just delete them and let something else to be built
but yeah - demand in SK 2 is not about actual demand, but more about possibility of having a demand, so it's not that accurate
Amazing city so far, great job, to meet business demands more mixed use spaces would need to be created which would help make a 15 minute city. As for “Black Bird Terrace”, you should call it “Waterfront Village”.
biggest thing i struggle with is high way connections, i just keep watching your videos hoping my cities could be as nice as yours!
Hi, just want to say i just got into this game and i love it. I v seen tons of vids today about the game, and your channel is by FAR, my favorite. It s educational and entertaining at the same time, good vibes keep goin ty!
i got a suggestion for the trains. if i remember correctly you have a train going between your stations. it would be more realistic to have the train come from an outside connection, stopping at both stations, then going to another outside connection and then back, stoping again and finishing where it started.
you're the best cs2 builder out there! your cities look straight out of google earth
28:50 you can hold shift mark more than one street
God 2:03 hurt with how real that looks lmao I hate living in small town America sometimes
I find the best way to build quays is to not build them as quays at first but have a layer of ground just above the water but lower than the land you are trying to quay and go at a road height of at least 3.25m on the transition between the two heights. This solves those annoying "In Water" errors, and then afterwards terraform away the lower ground. the downside is the height has to be slightly higher.
I just feel like looking at Google Maps with your city, it's really beautiful, you're just so skilled
This is easily the most beautiful city in City Skylines II right now. Keep up the great work!
Wow, I'm glad I stumbled upon this channel yesterday and binged through the CS2 content.
This city looks amazing and gave me some good ideas to create my own.
New sub here 👊
One of the best Skylines II series on RUclips, by far.
You deserve all the support as you are the most realistic city builder on CS2 at the moment! Continue to make us dream with your builds as a lot of the community is waiting out for the performance issues to be polished out. Take care
Seeing all those surface car parks I hope they implement PV as upgrades for all of them. 2 options for the looks would be nice. Like a cheap one and a fancy one. Should be the most expansive electricity though (like IRL)
So as I was watching this and you were pointing out those row houses next to the train yard at the end and I couldn't help but think maybe in a realistic scenario here in the US you may find a land berm between the residential area and the industry to act as a "natural" sound barrier
The style of building, as well as filling the RCI zones is top notch compared to the rest of the city builders on youtube! Amazing job!
@ 45:16 this Island screams for High rise building development. In reality the square meter price should be over the top to justify such development. Same for the greenbeld along the river.
I just discovered this series, and i cant wait to see more videos on it. nice work mate
I absolutely love the time-lapses and the music! keep it up
I think St. Lennox could be a cool name (meaning with many elm trees" and "elm grove" in scottish), maybe a similar vibe to Brooklyn as someone else mentioned with the bridge buildings but consisting of an old church at the end of the bridge street by the river, slightly hidden in the treeline by the water.
Demand works different in CS:2 - it is way more important to look at education of your cims, as well as the employment rate, job availability etc... demand for industry and commercial will always be super high no matter what you do, but if most of the businesses show you that they do not have enough customers while having very high demand at the same time... you know something is off :) I rather focus on the balance, to not have so many issues regarding lack of customers and rent pop up, and balance the cims and employment smoother.
Best city so far that I’ve seen 👍
the upload timings and quality are insane
What an amazing job, bro! It's very pleasant to watch your videos! Keep going!
I'm so happy to see another skyscraper
That heart shaped island would fit an old castle ruin nicely
Would love to see more public transport to connect sterling,east riverview and riverview with maybe extending the rail line
You should unlock some of the police options. Placing a prison n a few other things would make a big difference.
Great city by the way, easily the best looking one I've seen.
You can put a refinery as that thing alone can give almost 700-1000 employment . It will help you a lot
Didnt play too much C:S 1 as i didn’t think I could do it well. C:S 2 has really made me super interested in C:S again. Love your videos. Even my girlfriend who doesn’t play any videogames was enjoying the episodes with me😁. Beautiful city by the way
I love your videos man! Keep up the great work!!!!!! ❤❤❤
You should do a ski town with the routs being with no forest but the rest with forest
Great work, you’ve been keeping me entertained whilst I wait forever for them to release this game on console!
Ypou are doing such a great job in CS II. It is such a pleasure to watch. Thank you!
Nathan from Nathan's sandbox showed a nice way to use concrete slabs in CS2 by turning on developer mode. That might be just what the port of Riverview needs.
if you turn on developer mode you can disable validation checks so you can place roads and whatnot everywhere
