I hope everyone has been enjoying these new one-off styles of videos that explore different Urbanism Topics while showing how they can be implemented in Cities: Skylines 2. If you have any topic suggestions for future videos let me know! I would LOVE to hear from you.
Thank you so much for taking the time out of your day to check this video out! Happy Building EH
I didn't realize until now that the small pedestrian paths are under the landscaping menu. I though I was going crazy when all I could find was the pedestrian streets.
haha yeah! Very glad I could help with that. You are going to have so much fun with the paths!
Love it that you're clearly a fellow Pres fan. Was missing that style of content!
Totally agree about the pedestrian paths, using them in tactical ways is the prime manner of decorating and making things look realistic. I use it to reshuffle the zoning grids a lot.
haha, 100 percent! I miss his videos so much and he has been a huge influence on all of my content! YES! Love using it to shuffle zones it works so well for that! Thanks so much for the comment!
assets will be more than welcome. im impress by how much you are able to make your cities already very realistic with limited options and tools available. keep up the great content. really inspiring !
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it! I am so excited for creators to start dropping stuff but I am honestly having a blast with just everything the game gives us currently! It's so much fun!
I love this format! I put some small commercial spots in my last residential build. It was a bit more rural but as it transitions to suburban I'll make sure to highlight it and make it a bit more special.
Oh heck yeah Poplar! I can't wait to see it!
Moose this is PURE GOLD! Such an incredible format. It really showcases to me that this new Cities can be used to build beautiful, realistic Cities!
TYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Thank you so hecken much! I really appreciate this! SO much more to come in the future!
As a Vancouverite, it's cool seeing you feature parts of the city in your videos.
Oh Heck Yeah A fellow Vancouverite! Expect much more footage in the future!
Great video! I've yet to play more than a few minutes but it's nice seeing the changes demonstrated before I get stuck in. Hopefully they will have more bugs fixed for when I do have some time to play.
Thank you so much! They seem to be pumping how patches / hot fixes almost weekly since launch and from my own experience the one last week seemed to have a decent bump to performance which was awesome to see.
i wish they could add low density mixed zones, at least here in south america they are pretty common on suburbs, most of them are family-owned shops/services.
I would love to see this in game!
Something I always try to do is add a small, or med, sized commercial spot at the corner and at "T" crossings in residential neighborhoods. Not on any dead end streets tho. Also I add an office or 2 here and there later on when education levels are higher. And In Industrial areas too, I add a bit more commercial and office spattered about. I used to add a house near farms, but I found the cims like it better when I add 1 office and a few commercial with a few more industrial spots next to the farm, oil, mine, etc. They tend to make more money then. And a lot of time the industrial added can be manipulated to be storage, or farm specific. Then the rest of the commercial is localized outside of the residential area, usually between low and med and high density, and in the area of medium density homes also get at least one mixed use on the corners. If not a whole row of them down a specific street.
I love the ideas presented here!
I do hope they add some corner lots in the future that actually have two road-facing sides.
I found some but it seems to be just for mixed use currently. BUT try zoning out a 2 by 2 mixed use lot? That might be what you are looking for.
Great video man! You find the beauty in some of the most unexpected spots. Also your cities is looking great even with such limited detailing tools. Keep em coming!!
BUDDDDDDYYYYYYYYYYYYY Thank you so hecken much! I really appreciate that!
That was a beautifully put together video
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that!
I really like these videos showing how we can use the tools of CS2 to make our cities more realistic without having to use props.
Thank you so much! I am really excited that people seem to be vibing these a lot!
Game needs anchor stores like supermarkets and big box stores
The freaking cafe in the intro reminded me of strictoaster cafe... which just led me down nostalgia road and me scrolling through the steam workshop for like 30 - 40 minutes. great video though
OMG it totally is so similar! Great catch!
I play on super low graphics so I don’t see all these but man I need to implement these tips!
Might be nice to put the same small commercial plots in industrial areas too. Workers could use a place to get lunch, and a petrol station would fit in too.
100 percent! Perfect spot for this! and with the new awesome looking gas stations if you can get one of those to zone like you mention it would fit in perfectly!
Way to key in n some great points
Thank you so much SportsMonkey! I really appreciate that!
I cannot wait for RICO (or like mod). I like to manually place all the buildings.
SAME HERE! Sure it’s been nice getting back to my roots with zoning but get me Rico and get me find it and I’ll be a happy builder haha
Awesome video! Man, this looks and feels like a totally different game than I've been playing... I feel rushed to meet demand and slap out zones and buildings haphazardly all over the place, wherever there's a free square. My city looks like shit compared to this. ): Your way looks a lot more zen and fun way of playing.
Maybe I'm bad at these kinds of games, but I think I need to slow down and zoom in more, and maybe not be afraid to redo areas and space things out more. Any other advice @canadianmooseplays ?
Thank you so much! 100 percent I think the best recommendations I can give is to go slow and take your time with it . Spend time learning the game mechanics and like you mentioned do not be afraid to redo an area. I do it all the time! and of course lastly HAVE FUN! City building is all about the journey!
As a Dutch guy, I really miss bikes in CS2.
100 hecken percent! Holy heck do I miss bikes so much!
I still remember my childhood corner store and buying candy and comics with the toonies I found in my mom's wallet
OH HECK YES!! Same here!! SO many good memories
Thank you for the video. You've outlined some excellent ideas.
Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to check it out!
This is an outstanding CS II video. Bravo!
Thank you so much!! I really appreciate it!
Loved the video and subscribed the chanel because of it
Oh Heck Yeah! Thank you so much and Welcome in!
Those deer must have been real popular in that dog park. Really ramps up the stakes. Cool video!
Haha thank you!
Interested that you reference neighborhoods in Vancouver. I am currently working on a series of Vancouver-style homes to eventually add to CS2, particularly the style found in the older neighborhoods with high-pitched roofs, sweeping catslides, and argyle decals.
Holy heck that is so cool! I will absolutely be using those everywhere when you release them! I cannot hecken wait!
I think I've had a bug with the transit line just for the bus. It refuses to go where I wanted it and loops all over the place. I'll try again later.
oh interesting! Let me know how it goes later as well I would be very curious to see what fixes this incase I encounter it! Hoping for the best results for you
What about 1x1 or 2x2 mixed zoning? Will it create like a small corner store with an apt with of 1 to 3 floors?
Unfortunately there's no 1x1 zoning for it but yes 2x2 I have fallen in love with now! It is so perfect for what you are describing!
i bought CS2 and am loving it. once again i underestimated mechanical drive vs ssd. an ssd helps this game sooooo much compared to having it on a mechanical drive. i'm averaging 45 fps on high with a 2080 rtx, 5600x AMD, 32 gigs 3200 ddr4, and mechanical was 10-25fps, 30-50fps if i didn't move the camera at all (edit: it would be cool if you could hire ministers or advisors and then have them pinpoint optimal places to put transit stops, parking lots, schools and other things)
Oh Heck Yeah! That's awesome to hear!
PROFESSOR, POR FAVOR, qual site o Sr, para fazer as miniaturas?
It is a game called Cities: Skylines 2
C ya at 10am 👌
My economy got better when i started spreading 2x2 commercial zones
Oh Heck Yeah! That's awesome to hear
What is your graphics settings? They look phenomenal!
Thanks so much! Honestly almost everything is set to high except water texture, clouds, and texture detail which I set to medium but yeah for the majority of settings I just have them set to high
Is that a dear in the dog park?
hahaha yes it was
3:20 what what is the company's design name again?
annu I think haha it's very hard to read
Great video. Just ignore all the winning children and their comments really appreciate your videos. CS2 is an excellent game and is only going to get better.
Haha thank you so much! I am so excited to see this game in a year it really is going to be such an amazing game!
Bark bark! ❤
Thank you so much for letting me use that!!
Out early?!
engagement comment 👍
Thank you so much!!
Chef's Kiss Moose
Thank you so much!!
I keep getting not enough customers
Same here! I feel like some of this needs some balancing!
Don't overzone commercial. Leave the demand bar full or near full.
Hope u get over the flu dude
Thank you so much! Sadly it turned out to be covid BUT I am at the tail end of it now!
sir, i dont think this applies to simlulation logics, this is only based on a real life store values and offers. I dont see why i should waste 4 very expensive tiles on a lil store when i can have that and a whole building
If only you knew that commercial zones barely play any role in the simulation, and are mostly there to seem like there is something happening and people be happy with cars going back and forth in their eyecandy cities.
🤡
Dude, just because in our real life there are small shops near us, doesn't mean you must do the same in CS.
There is something very important in CS which is called Noise Pollution from commercial zones. Even when the noise is low, it affects the happiness and you're going to get notification about that all the time.
30 sec ads before video, no watching and u blacklisted, don't want to know you.
LMAO thank god! Nobody wants someone like you in there community. You are doing us all a favor!
Wanna really get some views? Do a hellscape edition. How big of an uhappy city can you grow. All the tiles? Just like berely livable and good enough for them to still stay in the city. Lets find out how unhappy can we get the city without everyone leaving. lol ... Cmon crack gettos expansion pack! . Maybe some residential projects buildings, Cabrini Green etc
🤡
I got an awesome idea. Game called Evil Builder. ITs a city builder, you build a nightmarish dystopian futuristic city with really cool looking buildings, yet its just a click of button to go from that to normal looking city. Its an LUT, but its the way the game was meant to be played, on evil mode. Dark ambience youtube city stuff makes me think of that.@@canadianmooseplays
