Which Are The Best Unique Buildings & Monuments In Cities Skylines And Why?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 июл 2024
- Welcome to another Cities Skylines tier video. Today we are looking at all the unique buildings that provide buffs to the city and all the monuments, ranking them based on what they do and trying my hardest not to rank them on looks. We are only ranking the unique buildings that provide effects on the city as ranking all the others would just be too subjective. Enjoy!

You can place the water monuments on land if you first create a puddle for it (with sewage or mods), the build will be able to attach to it, then you simple remove the puddle. I got the colossus as my amusement park center piece with this trick
Very nice idea!
The walking cims when the Space Elevator is placed is just amazing to watch.
All my cheese dreams in one place!
Right!? And then seeing my income skyrocket is beautiful! Everybody says the space elevator is garbage and is useless but I’m so confused as it really helps with tourist income. Better yet once placed, the tourists stop coming through the highways which causes traffic. I connected metro, monorail, and train right next to it and it really helped with my traffic flow big time.
@@eden20111 i never place it because of realism but i think the reason that most people don't place this building is because it sometimes spawns so many vehicles that you will reach the vehicle cap even though some aren't visible because there is no space for the vehicles to spawn
I know you say that medical buildings are mostly useless, but I find they do function as expected if you place residential in polluted areas. Instead of getting sick and abandoning or dying, they go to the hospitals. This allows you to zone residential right next to industrial or commercial, without worrying about the pollution or noise. Anyway, if you build hospitals just for the looks, then you may as well use them.
Will they all call for ambulances or go there on their own volition?
Ambulances are definitely used, but most seem to drive there on their own. I'm not sure what the rules are for using ambulances in the game.
@@daniellxnder in my city most of the hospitals are empty but most of the ambulances are in use 99 % of the time. They pick up patients from across the map even if there are 2 other hospitals which are nearer to the patient. I cant reduce budget because it reduces the number of ambulances. But out of 5000 beds I only use 1000.
@@michaelz.7140 You can solve this issue with the "Customize It" mod: increase the number of ambulances per hospital/clinic.
"Aesthetic Egg" vs "Cheesy Egg" best description of how you play! 😄
I’m currently working on an “achievement city” and I finally got a monument built for the first time! It was the space elevator and I’m happy I stumbled across this so I know to add some transportation near it
Great list, thank you! Great to have all buffs shown and explained in one place.
Yes! I finally have a list to work off, Overcharged egg you are a champ keep up the great content!
Thanks for watching Kate!
Your welcome, your actually the reason I got CS
Super informative tier list, lots of buffs I either didn't know about or hadn't considered! And this episode must have taken an age to put together!! Thank you for more great content Egg ❤
Thank you FewC! ❤ Haha yes it did. You are more than welcome, thank you for watching :D
With a big skyline surrounding the medical center it looks less weird because the only visible area on it is the glass section which just looks like a wide tower
This is so helpful!! I get so happy when I see a notification pop up on my phone that you have put out a new video now. I never fail to learn something new from each one!
You are so welcome! Thank you :D
Great tier list! Thanks for taking the time to make it.
My pleasure!
Thanks for the list. I need to try and get better at using Campuses so this video is very helpful.
There is a current issue with the hadron collider where you can not click the disable university boost option. If you place campus DLC universities assets and like the buildings features, you can place hardon collider delete all the schools and high schools to save budget but keep university. The interface is broken after last month's update. This interface is broken with "allow intercity trains" too. Paradox is aware but a fix is unknown at this point.
Perfect timing, I am still new to the game and just unlocked the base game Monuments and was struggling to even place them where they would make sense and based on their buffs.
Very nice! I've always known those buildings were there to unlock, but have never really pursued it (like the space elevator, hadron collider, fusion plant, etc.). Now I know what they really do and don't do. Side note... about fell out of my chair seeing the effect from the space elevator. WTF?!
About the eden Project and Land value: in my current city the land value is about 150 on average, and the entire map is lime green. Even the areas with nothing or the industrial areas.
I really like these tier list video, great job👍
Glad you like them! Appreciate that bro
Awesome video! I'm definitely going to cheese my budget with some park cheese and the Space Elevator!
This is very useful! I didn't realize how helpful some of these buildings were.
Glad it was helpful!
The space elevator is very very handy to use by transport hubs or high capacity transport stations. It will give your transportation usage a boost.
Wonderful list. I am just about to build my Downtown and this is just in time.
This is the perfect list. Thanks for this video
Thank you Egg.... as always, great content and information.... thank you so much.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love the eden project for the heavily reduction in pollution but I wish there was an option to disable the land value buff similarly to how you can turn off university boost on the collider
great list, i would have rated the clock tower higher because the speedbuff, in a city doing lots of rail to get cims of the roads, esspecially trucks, is a very appreciated feat. not necessary for the reasons you mentioned but stilll. love trains u know ;)
I didn't even know some uniques had special buffs! I mostly give up on my cities before I can make spaces for uniques. xD Great video Egg, love the music at the end and the little ME soundtrack in the middle there.
Keep up the work! That sea fortress castle would look perfect surrounded by a square-a-bout moat. And the statue of Colossus? Too bad there's not a NSFW version called Priapus! 😜
I love the castle on top of hills personally I love to use it like Edinburgh castle
useful info. thanks. I've never bothered to notice the buffs... thought they were aesthetic space fillers.
The old market street would work rlly well with the new promenades dlc
An extra comment for your extra effort. I'd say this is a must have tier list. I bet that was a lot of working confirming all of those effects.
Cheers bro! Yeah, took a while haha
You should do a tier list for the monuments (aesthetically)
Great list, very useful. Didn't know what cause the massive deathwave in my late game cities until now! Two things for me though: first, I can't seem to make the ultimate recycling center do anything useful for me. Although it has a 100 truck capacity, when I place it, it seems to send out maybe 8 to 10 trucks and most of my city is getting buried in garbage. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Other (non-monument) garbage facilities all work fine, whichever one I decide to use.
Second, a question about the ChirpX unique: when you(manually) launch a rocket, it sends out this wave of happiness. Is this useful for anything, or is it just a gimmick? While not a fixed buff like the uniques in this list give, if this happiness has a meaningful effect, it might be a reason to consider this unique. Concert and sports facilities also (automatically in this case) send out waves of happiness or unhappiness depending on the outcome of the most recent event there. Again, I don't know if anything ever follows from these waves of happiness.
Could simply be a logistics issue in the fact that the trucks are just having trouble getting over there! I definitely wouldn't leave it as the only recycling centre in the city. Your budget slider could also be affecting the number of trucks :)
I've rarely played with the rocket assets but to my knowledge, its a gimic :)
The hadron collider can be used as a good expo center. Not work as it but look as it. They are usually really advanced if the center is in countries like the US, Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, and maybe some European nations. The expo center isn't overly big, and is advanced. Thus its a pretty good expo center in my opinion
An easy way to fix the death wave is to slowly demolish and rebuild residential zoning. This is especially important when zoning high density residential areas. One or two buildings at a time should really spread out the population boom after placing the Eden Project.
Great information
Any chance of a video showing the various building assets available in each add on and vanilla, would be nice to know what each asset transforms to as they level up.
Great vid
Awesome 👌
The Statue of Colossalus actually looked quite good there in Palaven...
Question: I can't fully use the ultimate recycling plant, I get lots of garbage not being picked up. Is not the same case with you? Ty!
Whenever I place down the hadron collider the unemployment rate sky rockets and it creates a lack of workers for my industrial and commercial, so I dont use it
@overchargedegg Few questions: 1) The Hardon Collider act as a 3 in 1 school? (Elementary, High School, University) 2) What public tranport type would u recommend when placing the Space Elevator?
Your saying that the Fusion power plant is bad because its too good. Having extra electricity doesn't cause an explosion or something. If you consume more then 400 MW of power then you should place it. Its cheaper and lowering it makes it really cheap. You replace every power plant with something that does just as good as it, will always have enough electricity, and will be much cheaper.
Hey ! About buildings, how can i unlock "i want them all" succes, does it consider only unique building or every vanilla buildings assets ? Nice tier list by the way, im learning a lot of stuff !
Most of campus dlc builds are listed in screen as park dlc
“Parc de fromage aux œufs surchargé” is a cheese park I’d like to see
I can never get the Eden Project nor the Ultimate Recycling center, I hate pollution so I want to rather recycle on a huge scale like this thing does. Have to look into unlocking it now.
I hate how you have to unlock a lot of unique buildings. Im a Vanilla player and I love this game but it's really annoying and for some of them really hard to unlock. I understand it kinda adds more replay ability to the game but im a decorator and I prefer to have everything accessible. Little bit of a rant but great tier list!
Did they increase the processing speed on the URC because i remember that it used to be 480000. Also what is the capacity of the URC because the wiki says 1M wich means it will empty itself in no time
Ayyy Mass Effect music 🔥
What are those "super block" kinda buildings at 13:39? they look amazing!
Excellent list to see the stats laid out for each building
Even tho I play heavily modded I still keep vanilla progression on and therefore rarely unlock some of these and also therefore even more rarely use some of them. Agree with your esthetics on these which is why most don't get placed in my builds but there's a couple here I was unaware of the useful benefit of having so now I'm motivated to take a second look on my next build. Nicely done Egg, perfect with my cup of joe today.
Thanks brother, glad you enjoyed it :)
Woah mass effect nostalgia

@@OVERCHARGEDEGG awesome. Thanks!
Does the clock tower actually push the trains thru the station quicker? It didn't look faster on the track.
alot of vehicles spend 2 or 3 sim days at each transportation spot. I hate watching a bus linger and hold traffic up. Buff to push those thru quicker would be nice.
in my city most of the hospitals are empty but most of the ambulances are in use 99 % of the time. They pick up patients from across the map even if there are 2 other hospitals which are nearer to the patient. I cant reduce budget because it reduces the number of ambulances. But out of 5000 beds I only use 1000.
"famous eggs" "faberge net worth" "is faberge single"
The clocktower buff is not random. It firstly is a reference to Italian dictator Mussolini who was facetiously praised for his ability to "make the trains run on time," by some supportive English tourists returning to the UK. They were referring to his heavy handed, hard power method of governance, Mussolini being the first man to define "fascismo" as an alternative to communism in absolving the failures of capitalist liberal democracy. It was still a time before radio, so tourist word-of-mouth was still a major method of distributing news, so it became a well spread perspective.
Secondly, scheduling trains over the great distances of early America was of huge importance. Trains are extremely susceptible to traffic, being utterly incapable of deviating from their pre-built rails. To compound that problem, due to the sheer scale of the continent, building two one-way rail lines was unfeasible through many areas. So, trains traveling in opposite directions over the same line needed to plan a bypass. Since rail lines could communicate station-to-station but not station-to-train or train-to-train, the schedule and path of the trains had to be planned well before the train ever left the station, accounting for other trains and planning where and when to use available redundant rails to bypass. No updates could be given during transmission and the dollar numbers dependent on each shipment were staggering, so they had to get the times right. This schedule depended on the trains' speeds. Determining the speed of the train based on its engine, weight, and route geography was a complex task, and the precise timing of the trains was an indication on the efficiency and reliability of a rail company.
I think this is fair... While it would be nice if the education buildings weren't generally better then the rest there always has to be buildings that are just kinda whatever or used in some sort of niche application.
I hate the way the eden project works even though it's a great looking building. It just ruins the city completely by maxing out the land value absolutely everywhere. Takes all the skill and fun away from raising the land value using parks etc. And while I agree with you on the disaster shelter, it makes a fantastic looking futuristic church if you close your eyes and squint a little 🤣
One downside to the Hadron Collider is that it will massively increase industrial demand and will make it harder for commercial due to all your cims having the highest education
you can use industry 4.0 though
Must place: Eden Project, School of Economics, School of Engineering, School of Science, School of Tourism and Travel, Space Elevator, Ultimate Recycling Plant
“Distinct and unique looking building..”it’s ugly egg, it just is.
Also, a very useful tear list 👌🙌🏽 cheers 🍻
Would the Youth & Seniors buildings help reduce the Deathwave caused by the Eden Project?
At 12:27 a bright white building enters the screen at left, middle -- can anyone ID it for me?
Museum of Modern Art, its a unique building

@@Citroen_2cv worth checking out the noobs guide series on my channel if you are new. Will hold your hand from the start 😌
4:17 Some Mass Effect music! Fan?
👏🏽👏🏽
"Building Cheeks" LMFAO
So basically, the Fusion power plant is bad because it's too good?
Maybe the train speed is load speed
Where's the 5 digital deluxe edition monuments?
7:06 Can someone tell me Which map is this ??

@@shayanroy7673 Thanks bro, enjoy! Noveria, Ilos & The Noobs Guide are all worth a watch after those :)
A note about the Hadron Collider: it will mess up demand for commercial and industrial zones. Because everyone gets educated to "highly educated" status, no one will want to work in the lower educated positions, meaning unless you adjust industry to be "Industry 4.0" with district policy, and build high enough level of commercial where it's mostly highly educated positions, your city will start to lose population and FAST. Industrial zones will struggle to fill positions, and commercial won't operate as well (if at all) because everyone is too educated for the smoky industry areas and cashier levels of jobs in shops. Commercial demand will dramatically increase, but will never drop because the zones built for it cannot be filled by the citizens, rendering commercial demand infinitely maxed out. I would move Hadron Collider to "Building Cheeks" for these very reasons; even though its main benefits are meant to be a positive for any city, it can actually ruin it with how it works. I would avoid building it entirely, but that's just my "two cents".
You made a great point here, in which I think Cities actually failed to hit the mark. When talking about the Haldron Collider, you mentioned how it was futuristic looking - which got me thinking. Maybe that was there point? Like 200 years into a city, or however many, it's just become that technologically advanced? - If this were true, where they failed was bringing everything else along fo a "future" look
Disagree on the market place - as you said, that thing is only suited for euro builds, and many people dont like euro assets - this thing is a C tier at best
Oh hey Casino
The market pplace doesn't work well in Euro cities either, because its style just looks terribly off. It feels like something out of Disney World.
You are missing the point with medical centers. It has a CITY-WIDE effect, one medical center will be needed and you can delete hospitals.
I guess but in my builds clinics and hospitals are part of the city. I'd certainly never tear each of those medical complexes out for the cyperpunk hospital.
Did you notice how cars travel a few 100 meters per day yet people only live for normal lifespans on that same time control. Due to this the relative amount of corpses transported is a lot higher than irl.
Same with garbage collection. IRL they gather trash in the morning and there are no garbage trucks clogging up a real city.
In this game due to the extremely slow travel speed relative to time the same truck can take days to exit the city.
These things make it a less realistic simulator, as it becomes a proportionally more impactful problem for a city than it is irl.
Of course if every car was zooming by really fast so you can't even see them that'd be visually less pleasing.
Maybe if we had more numbers of fast forward buttons it'd be ok.
I wonder when we'd get a city sim of this quality that is hyper realistic?
Lately the gaming market is more oriented toward indie titles or immediate gratification from simplistic games and triple A titles with hyper realism are more rare. I'm not optimistic and this game is really really good so I'm not complaining it's just a dream of mine.

@@OVERCHARGEDEGG lol you can't argue with math
Most monuments feel like a cheat to me. I personally only use the tourism ones (space elevator and the castle) due to how absolutely sht the tourism work in this game
