Pack Big Buildings SMOOTHLY Onto a Hill in Cities Skylines Reddington
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 июл 2024
- With the CAMPUS expansion to Cities Skylines, we'll build a new Liberal Arts College onto a challenging hillside while expanding Reddington's population. See how we make the college and new neighborhoods fit organically into hilly terrain!
This city starts out fresh on the Green Plains map, which comes with the base version of Cities: Skylines. Rather than being a planned and platted city, Reddington begins with just a town square and branches out on this verdant peninsula from there! Throughout the series we'll learn how older cities transportation networks sprung up from footpaths, cowpaths, and other old trails that follow the terrain rather than conquer it. Eventually we introduce railroads and paved roads for automobiles. We'll explore the history of transportation to better understand how American cities evolved into what they are today due to advancements in transportation technology.

I’ve played this game for years. My work schedule is tough to play games. I get my fix by watching you and City Planner Plays. Can’t wait. 👍
A really thoughtful expansion of the town, and the start of a nice symmetrical layout for another Lee Hawkin's special University campus. I adore your build style. It really influences my builds. Keep up the great work Lee.
I’m so glad you’re enjoying it! Thanks so much!
Love the small town liberal arts college vibe! Look at Lincoln Memorial University in Harrogate, TN for a real world example.
Glad you enjoyed it! I think the new college really does add the right vibe to the city!
Day off AND a surprise CS Video from Lee? YAY!
Cant wait for the next one already :)
Lee, you actually can get unique 19th Century industries off the Steam Workshop. Yumbl got some mill buildings for his Newmarket series and Biffa got some mill buildings, Biffa got some mill buildings and a shoe factory for his Blightea-on-the-Wold series, and Jeremy Thunder got some old factories and warehouses for his Neptune City series..
Those commercial buildings in the town square? Those vanilla buildings just look too darn modern, Jeremy Thunder says they have a Super Shooter esthetic! There should be some 19th Century commercial on the Sream Workshop as well.
Otherwise your town is coming along fine! 🙂 🙂
I have hemmed and hawed about switching the assets to make Reddington have a much more old Americana feel and so far I just haven’t decided to pull the trigger. I know it would look a whole lot better…but another part of me knows that there are so many other things I’d like to be better too, like the map & whatnot, that I really am thinking of just keeping things simple for now so I can make the next series much much better and exactly the way I want…with the right assets and such straight out of the gate.
But I could still change my mind…idk 🤷🏻♂️
Thanks for your thoughts 😊
Great series, loving the concept. Just catching up, I hope to see this project continue. Your gridding is exquisite!
Awesome! I’m glad you like it! I have a new episode coming in the next days or hours 👍🏻
Episode made my morning. Thanks Lee, I enjoy the slow thoughtful growth - wish there were more brick/mortar style buildings.
Glad you enjoyed it!
By “brick & mortar” do you mean you wish there were more 19th Century style brick buildings?
@@LeeHawkinsPhoto yes, exactly :)
@@CyrusCastella I keep mulling over whether I want to do this…it bugs me too…it’s just a massive undertaking to grab all the right assets off the Workshop and change things over :-/
@@LeeHawkinsPhoto I totally understand, that would be a huge undertaking. I didn’t mean to make you think you need to change out assets, more of a thought that I wish the base game included options for buildings of different periods. Thanks for all the time and effort you put into your builds :)
I just binged all 8 episodes over the last 3 days, and now I'm mad I have to wait a month for the next one. Cool series, I love the thoughtful road layouts, and industry placements.
Glad you enjoyed it! I had a vacation between these last 2, so the next one should come up sooner. I’m aiming for every 2 weeks, to leave me time to produce other videos that are more time-intensive.
Neat! Looking forward to the next episode.
Great work Lee! I think that Czardus’ city Ludington went through a similar time period progression where he used brick/cobbled streets. I would recommend the asset from that series 😊
I did find an asset…you’ll see how things look in the next one 😁
Thank you for your time and energy in making this video.
Happy to do so! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Loving this series and really looking forward to the next episode!
City is coming along nicely keep up the good work 👌
Will do 😉
Wow... I can't remember being so excited for a new video from any youtube channel
Congrats, Lee. You're my favourite youtuber I guess!
Hooray! I’m so glad you enjoy my videos so much! I’ll go try and make more 😃👍🏻
Another good video Lee!
Thanks so much! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Continue to love this stripped down map. I really want to do it one of these days, but I never have it in me to just bulldoze out all of the highways to start. Which is weird, because I hate the highways, both in real life and as the traffic firehoses that they are.
Try searching for little river map in the workshop, it was a map that was modified by yumbl (he destroys all the highways and replace them with smaller roads, mostly 2-lanes)
Live on the edge! It’ll be FUN 🤩 lol! I think you’ll like the results so much more 👍🏻
Cool video, love your dedication to realism!
Can’t believe it’s taken me this long to pick your channel back up but better late than never I think
Glad to see you back!
these are so pleasant to watch
Fine Music for fine Arts!
"I'm going to spitball this..." That quote reminds me of the scene in "Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home". The crew is on the Klingon ship and Spock is working on the calculations for the way back to the future (they went back in time to save humpback whales). So there is this scene between Spock and McCoy. And the Doctor asks Spock what is wrong and Spock basically replies that he is working on the calculations and he must make a "guess" with some of the numbers. McCoy's answer is basically, "I'll take your guess over most people's facts." That's not a direct quote, but pretty close. My point being is this - I'll take your "spitball" Lee over an engineer's calculations. Except maybe City Planner's, but it's pretty close.
Lol thanks, Kris 😂 I’m glad you trust my guesses lol…fantastic movie to reference! One of my faves 😊
Another great episode! The University isn't going to level up without academic works though, so you might want to give a grant, and consider bumping up the budget for academic staff until it's levelled up.
Thanks for the video. Just leaving my comment for the to appease YT algo gods.
Hey hey an NJB reference!
I really dig when you add some historical accounts (or rambling, other people would say lol) when building stuffs
Woot for upcoming railroads and coal mining company town~
Cheers for the upcoming WRSR videos!
Fun times ahead! I was glad I got to talk about prisoners breaking rocks to build roads 😂 it’s so cliche, but it was what a lot of them really did back in the day! I always love bringing in fun historical and geographical tidbits in my vids, glad you enjoy them!
@@LeeHawkinsPhoto finally now I know why cartoon prisoners spend their time breaking rocks into gravel 🙈
Yeah it's one of this channel's special feature! 💯 also it adds a lot of context for the video 👍
Awesome episode
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks!
I suspect the crime issue was due to all the dirt roads and police not able to patrol as effectively. Before you built the second station, all cars were in use, so they just weren't able to keep up with the patrols.
I understand you can use some of the assets provided with the bridges and piers DLC as roads - I might have even seen it on one of City Planner Plays' Verde Beach episodes, you might want to ask him. One of those might provide the cobblestone streets you're looking for?
I found a great asset on the Workshop…you’ll see it in the next episode! 😃
Speaking of those in striped clothing doing stone crushing - watch the start of Rambo First Blood Part II. And that is from the early 80s. So even if machinery was available, it wasn't always used.
Innnnteresting! Thanks for that, Kris!
Great episode! Maybe you could revisit Redport? It looks like it would benefit from some care c:
Might I suggest adding ragtime to the background playlist? It seems like it would be very fitting, since you are going for that mid-late 19th century style/vibe.
Nice
Lol thanks, Max 😁
Some zoned farming industry would be nice around that fertile land might look more rural with it
You and Phil make me smile with each of your videos. I am curious about your death care and elder care levels - maybe time for some investment for each village given geographical spread and dirt roads slowing body collection?
Could the new DLC provide the roads you need? There's a district option to restrict speed to 20 mph, which fits your theme. And some of the assets in the preview look cobbled.
I don’t know…great question! We shall see soon I suppose!
I did find a great asset on the Workshop to make the streets look better though…you’ll see it in the next episode 👍🏻😃
Can't wait till you name a street Euclid avenue... seems every city in America has a street named that.
Most of America was first explored and settled by surveyors…and they all used Euclidean geometry to do their jobs, so it figured so many places would be named after the guy lol. The South wasn’t as heavy as the Midwest on surveyors blazing trails though, so will we see an Euclid Avenue? Hard to say…we shall see… 😁
I'm really learning a lot from watching you play, so thank you. sometime I don't understand your position choices or road re-building several time "just to get it right", even though I watched "more money less traffic", so if you could share sometimes the more intricate changes and why you delete and rebuild those roads multiple times, that would be helpful, I hope
He is correcting the road geometry to affect the zoning squares, this ensures the grid stays intact.
@Stables08 is correct…this has a lot to do with it, since I hate wasting space if I can get it back. Another reason is that I sometimes see the alignment is _slightly_ off…so I rebuild to get it exactly where I want it.
Another reason is that I think I don’t want a road somewhere and bulldoze it…and then I realize nope! I actually do want that there! Sort of like your cat when it meows at the door and then you open it to let it out…and it just lays down and acts indifferent to getting outside, indifferent to you, the world…everything…I’m a cat, I do what I want!
😂 that went somewhere I didn’t expect it to go…anyway…I hope that helps a little 😁
Will this be recorded in the channel
It was already recorded, so it’ll be available after the premiere 👍🏻
I wopuld drop the diploma mill to fill in for the real university, near the library.
Lee Reddington is cool and all but please can you finish Part 8 of your prior Less Traffic More Money series? You left it on a cliffhanger on one of the most important episodes! Please, I beg you!
💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
Did you mean to put the inland water treatment plant on the water?
I actually placed an _Eco_ Water Treatment Plant, which does need to be placed on water 😉
You need to do something about your audio levels. You're my 2nd most favorite C:SL youtuber, but often you're mumbling so faintly that your voice barely gets through over the music. I don't mind the mumbling, nobody can be 100% sure of everything all the time and that's just your way of thinking out loud (and that in turn is part of the build process). But I do think you need to boost the volume on those parts. And then there were also wildly fluctuating volume levels this episode (most notably 52:05-52:25).
Thanks for the heads up…you’re the second person so far to say something. I definitely had some issues on this one where I went deep into thought and then didn’t get picked up by the mic very well. Hopefully things will be OK in the next episode, but it’ll be at least 2 more before my new recording technique will kick in (I used it on the Verde Beach episode) where I feel like things were much easier to get the audio levels to be even. I’ll pay better attention and try to make sure it’s not as bad on the next ones!
There should also be one or two other videos coming in between the Reddington episodes where audio should not be an issue. Definitely keep this kind of feedback coming-it helps!
Why do t you use mods for cars to be horse wagons and 1st gen cars?
