My gf is from Ellesmere Port and heard you say you took inspiration from Ellesmere Port, she thinks it might be the first time anyone has ever uttered those words 😂
If you’re looking for more industrial/mixed use inspo, have a look around the area Everton are building the new stadium, there’s a massive shipping port and loads of old industry and the stadium has basically been dropped in the middle with the skyline in the background the other way.
Don’t worry about the pace, it’s going great. Love to see you put in lots of detail work, no need to rush. Each episode doesn’t need to be a massive build, happy to see you spend more than one episode working on the same area.
You can remove the pathways you create to control zoning after the buildings have grown in and the zoning configuration will remain unlike in C:S1.... so when your done just delete the paths and you'll have extra zoning along with the zoning you "force-created"
It's almost bizarre considering I drive this particular stretch of road so often!! Now people across the globe will see the brilliance that is the M53 (unless there's an accident, then it just stops)
Like others have said, don't worry too much about the pace. I am loving this series and also how you are working on a vanilla series (no mods and props placement). For me the pace has been perfect and I am really loving how Egginburgh is developing so far. You don't have to limit yourself to 8 or 10 episodes just do them until you feel a city or town feels complete to you and then move on to next one.
Thank goodness for content creators like yourself who are blazing the trail for cities skylines 2. It looks like it’s going to be fun. I can’t bring myself to dive into it yet. The first game has so many assets and options to it that this one still has yet to match. But the basis of recreating the user interface to suit the player is exciting and I’m very excited to see where at all goes from here.
Love the huge industrial area 😍 Everything blends so well!!! Weather wiping out downtown was totally unexpected but they rebuilt quickly! Enjoyed and look forward to more of your creativity!! 🤩
2x3, 2x2 industry can work very well mixed with low density commercial aslong as you're selective about which company moves in. I have quite a few food factories mixed in that customers will visit much like the commercial properties.
Egg, 3 percent grade for rail was a rough estimate based off the size compression from CS1 (irl 1% grade is steep for loaded freight). 12 degree curve is bordering on tight. The only real issue with the rail is not having a lead as the only connection to the yard on each end and using ladder tracks to get to the individual connections. Railroads do this because they are taxed for each main line switch and will usually try to use as few as they can. The Alton & Southern Railway yard in East St Louis is a good example of a yard with the tight S curves on both ends (it also laid out as a big oval which is a bit different).
Notice from the Train Police: Rail hierarchy should treat the double-track mainline as an arterial but you are treating it as a collector. The single track lines should merge prior to connecting to the mains, or maybe merge to a slip siding that then connects to the mainline. Otherwise, the port looks good.
the name of the port in Edinburgh is the Port of Leith. You could change that to either Port of Leaf as in the plant folliage. or Port of Leak to go with the food theme.
You should consider renaming it the Firth of Whisky if you're basing it on Scotland. Gives me similar vibes to Cromarty and Dornoch Firths above Inverness
This is great. I struggle to make industrial areas interesting, I am going to use this for some new ideas. Hopefully zoned industrial gets a future expansion, I would like to see a better mix, light density (small less polluting uses) and also some much bigger assets (giant distribution warehouses).
CS2 needs mod's so so bad. I have installed a few of the bootleg mod's from Thunder's website and from just those few simple mod's it has made CS2 that much more better to play. I can only imagine what it's going to be like when the pro-modders starts to develop some of the mod's like we have in CS1. The game is only going to get better as time goes by as long as Colossal doesn't keep dragging their feet on releasing the mod editor. Plus all those wonderful assets are going to be so awesome. So egg man if you have any influence please ask them to make it sooner rather than later. Thank you...great video...💯👍
You're fortunate to live in a society with duel carriageways. We don't even have single carriageways. Heck, we don't even have carriages... much less ways to drive them on!
You should really switch off "natural disasters" since the only stuff is nonsensical tornados of the super twister variety with a bit of forest fire occasionally. Looking nice but surprised you crossed the river with the rail straight into what looks like a very steep hill (for rail at least) as opposed to heading up the valley... curious to see how you handle it. The curve of the bridge is very redolent of the Tay Bridge at Dundee though.
You wanna name the counterpart for Whiskey "Bourbon"? Nice idea, actually. But how about Jerez, the Spanish place "Sherry" originates from (or at least the name) ;)
One could also actually think of names playing with Sherry - or Sharry -, such as Shary (there is a German tv presenter by the name Shary Reeves), or maybe "Sharey" even, playing with "share"...
at 27:46 i think you should remove the slip lane leading onto the roudabout, and just make that a one way into the industrial area. bc the cars/trucks leaving from there are blocking traffic thats using the one way out.
Nice video! I really like the slow pace actually, I think the city is shaping up really, really well. Also, you should totally call one of the other towns Eggnham, or Eggandham if you prefer!
When building the big bridge you could try leaving the under bridge trusses on either side but changing the middle where ships could still operate under into a suspension bridge
You mentioned this smaller industry being more realustic, but cityplanner in 1 of his latest episodes actualy explained how even max size ingame industry is small compared to real life.
I agree with him that smoke stacks on every building is not very realistic and the smaller lots looks better. However they should indeed increase the max zoning size we can use and make larger models. That said this is also achievable by combining smaller lots with parking, roads and trees/bushes.
I wish we get more ploppable industry buildings. Not just one time signatures. I'd love to be able to plop warehouses for example and different size factories. This is why I love dev mode
Another great video! I'm really enjoying the CS2 series. I hope it comes to macOS so I can build my own. The only thing I would suggest is to fill with land the tiny notch of water between where the port ends and the land juts out, I would look better

Hahah

Good shout!
UTFT! 💙
Plymouth would also be a good shout for that...docklands, industry, commercial, residential all intertwined in various styles

Never thought I would hear a thing "Taken inspiration from Ellesmere port" 🤭 But yep that's the M53 junction
As someone who is from Ellesmere Port and still lives there, I never thought I would ever hear someone say they will take inspiration from here 🤣
Haha!
It's almost bizarre considering I drive this particular stretch of road so often!! Now people across the globe will see the brilliance that is the M53 (unless there's an accident, then it just stops)
@@AceCat 🤣🤣 I know and there’s always a bloody accident on it 😭
Was strange to see this since I live about 1 min away from it
That last shot of the Port of Whiskey in the sunset was so great. Loved all of it.
Best build of the series so far, in fact, I'd say my favourite CS 2 build from all the CS creators I watch.
Appreciate that 😌❤️

It’s amazing just how big the maps are. Feels like endless possibilities to expand and can’t wait to see it!

I love the interchange you built! I love when you take real world inspiration and perfectly translate it to CS! 👍🏼
Love the huge industrial area 😍 Everything blends so well!!! Weather wiping out downtown was totally unexpected but they rebuilt quickly! Enjoyed and look forward to more of your creativity!! 🤩
You can really see how much you enjoy working with these new road tools 👌
Cheers bro!

I seem to say this every episode, but it looks realistic, something i still struggle to achive, you just do it. Keep them coming, thank you
NGL, building that port and warehouse was some pretty cool stuff and makes me want to play but i have to wait to get a new computer.

Really enjoying the build in CS2. Loving all the UK vibes. Keep these videos coming 😁
Thanks, will do!
I really like what you doing with the train tracks running along the river. It looks very nice.
The first cargo ship arrives from Noveria. The crew looks out and you hear of chorus of "Why is the grass so.... green?!"
Notice from the Train Police: Rail hierarchy should treat the double-track mainline as an arterial but you are treating it as a collector. The single track lines should merge prior to connecting to the mains, or maybe merge to a slip siding that then connects to the mainline. Otherwise, the port looks good.
Great vision when planning, seeing it all come together is a dream.
outstanding! muscular brushwork, nice edits. here we go with this game...
the name of the port in Edinburgh is the Port of Leith. You could change that to either Port of Leaf as in the plant folliage. or Port of Leak to go with the food theme.
The rival city should be named Gin, since Gin is English/London (or you could go with Jenever which is Dutch).
I like to leave a few zones near stone mines etc to zone some small industry tanks ans workshops. works really well IMO
You should consider renaming it the Firth of Whisky if you're basing it on Scotland. Gives me similar vibes to Cromarty and Dornoch Firths above Inverness
This is great. I struggle to make industrial areas interesting, I am going to use this for some new ideas. Hopefully zoned industrial gets a future expansion, I would like to see a better mix, light density (small less polluting uses) and also some much bigger assets (giant distribution warehouses).
I've found that 2 wide, 4 deep blocks make some cool little industrial buildings mixed in with one or two much bigger ones occasionally
@@universalfleecei have been doing that as well, works pretty good

First time I've heard Ellesmere Port being mentioned as inspirational 🤣
Good Afternoon OE, from Allenstown, NH. Northeast, USA
Wow what a builder you are
Big fan of the idea to call the rival town/city of Whisky, Bourbon 🙂
You're fortunate to live in a society with duel carriageways. We don't even have single carriageways. Heck, we don't even have carriages... much less ways to drive them on!
Mass Effect reference was glorious :) I love you now btw.
Thanks! Really enjoying this series 🙂
Thank YOU!

5:36 this is creepy, i live like 10 or so mi from a town named that irl, you should have kept the name lol
at 27:46 i think you should remove the slip lane leading onto the roudabout, and just make that a one way into the industrial area. bc the cars/trucks leaving from there are blocking traffic thats using the one way out.
Egg-cellent work, sir! 👏😆
This is just a fantastic build!
Wow. I am from Liverpool. Quite often travel that motor way ✊
Nice video! I really like the slow pace actually, I think the city is shaping up really, really well. Also, you should totally call one of the other towns Eggnham, or Eggandham if you prefer!
Name suggestion for the mining town: Rye
Nice, and Bourbon can be the other way out of town
Would be nice to see a mod to add animation to the industries, and other features.
When building the big bridge you could try leaving the under bridge trusses on either side but changing the middle where ships could still operate under into a suspension bridge
The loch really narrows up that way, I doubt ships will head that far up!
Genuine question : is there no sewarage treatment in the game or did all the City Builders decide to us the one that pollutes and dumps in the ocean??
Nice Jams.
Noooo, you deleted the man made piles of aggregate! Was the best feature! Please make more of these!
Edit: You did do more!
We did! and we'll have even more 😁
oh boy!
as always i love your builds
Train. 😎

I guess it depends on the context. Local car repair garage within a larger industrial estate, yes. An Industrial steel mill, probably not
you can see this in the game, too - the 'signature buildings' for industry are colossal compared to the zoned buildings.
You could do non-combustible ban for certain roads.
Another great video! I'm really enjoying the CS2 series. I hope it comes to macOS so I can build my own.
The only thing I would suggest is to fill with land the tiny notch of water between where the port ends and the land juts out, I would look better
I feel the new area should be called Heggis
nice city
5th I feel lucky amazing vid keep it UP
Why did you twist the railway into an S curve for the railyard??
Probably because it’s a game and he wanted to
The S curve is not unprecedented, look at the Alton & Southern Railway in East St. Louis
👍😀
1st lol. Love you O•E
Love this channel. Thank you for bringing us; informative, funny and entertaining content.
