How a Train Station TRANSFORMED a Small Town in Cities Skylines! | Coniferia 26
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 июл 2024
- In this episode we continue our countryside/small-town vibes theme, giving our sleepy suburb of Danton a massive overhaul! Poor little Danton (which is actually quite well-off) has been a bit of a laughingstock of the series for a while now, where the only thing of notice to highlight has been the "gas station with 4 employees". Not anymore! As several of you have also pointed out, Danton is located right next to the train line that connects the region, so it's due time Danton gets its own Train Station!
Danton as a suburb was established in the 1930s, and it wasn't until 1970/80's that the Train Station was built - the construction of the station resulted in the development of new commercial enterprises, businesses, and shops right next to the station, effectively creation two small commercial centers in Danton!

- What's the rationale behind this project:
What happens if a washed-up-used-to-be-RUclipsr gathers a bunch of "generic" looking assets (though mostly inspired by Australian / Canadian cityscapes) with the hopes of creating a Cities: Skylines region full of towns and cities that both look realistic and are inspired by Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the USA, while at the same time don't really replicate any one particular style? No idea, let's find out.
Join me in this Cities: Skylines modded gameplay / let's play / timelapse series as we expand the region, and build new infrastructure, highways, public transit, industrial pockets, NIMBY-neighbourhoods, sprawling suburbs and bustling downtowns. And of course, use tress excessively to cover up any imperfections!

Huge makeover for Danton! If you where to choose somewhere to live in Coniferia, Where would that be? I would GREATLY appreciate if you would leave a LIKE 👍and a COMMENT 💬, small things that really does help - Thank you!
Remember that there is a Q&A in the description for the most common questions ❔
And if you just can't get enough of Coniferia, there's teasers of future episodes and hundreds of additional screenshots over at my Patreon 📸📸📸 www.patreon.com/infrastructurist
As always, thank you so much for the support - I hope you have a fantastic Friday!
Much Love,
Infra 🥰
i think i would be pretty happy to live in the capital.
I would. Be living in Pine houber
I would either live in Sorrow Square or Tagfield
i would live peacefully in Danton. No traffic and pretty quiet. But as a citizen, i need First Responders and public services nearby :D
Anyway, it's really great episode as always. Oh, an another idea, could you add a classic water tower in Danton? would be epic, especially wih a caption says "Danton" on it's side :D
I think I would live in the capital and occasionally visit my family in Danton. Bet the train commute would be insanely gorgeous
Finally a Danton expansion. I love the thought of having these small communities along the train line between Port Douglas and Pine Harbour. It really turned out cool especially the area around the train station.
I do think the people living next to the factory and warehouses deserve a pedestrian path over the train tracks to connect.
I was going to comment the same about access over the train tracks
not having one is more realistic in many cases though😝
@@daltonbedore8396 very true unfortunately
@@daltonbedore8396 well true. It sometimes takes cities dekades to really act on stuff like this. Maybe a Danton only bus line would be more realistic instead of a little bridge.
I think Danton realisticly needs its own bus depot. Realisticly this size of town with its own trainstation would serve as a local hub to smaller villages / communities which connect to it via bus.
Love your content, much appreciated!
The region should have some kind of stadium/sporting complex. Keep it up!
Thanks Muhammad, nice suggestion! 😊
Thanks Muhammad, nice suggestion! 😊
Thanks @@Infrastructurist, nice video! 😊
And Imagine a train station that runs through the stadium and drops and picks up fans
Maybe set up let the Houston Astros stadium where you can see the train from the field and the field from the train 😁
I think there maybe should be a pedestrian overpass so that people from the Industrial area near the train station and the residential houses on that side of tracks could easily get to the train station, because now they would have to walk to the road that crosses the tracks, which is a big detour, particularly for pedestrians.
Those houses seem wealthy enough to have the influence to have lobbied for that, since the construction of the train station.
Building asset mods should have a suggested range of decades of construction so that you can sort by age.
That would be a cool feature! Alternatively the tag system of Find It can be used to group by age. But it is a bit of work to group them up in the first place 😊
The world building in this series is insane, love it mate keep up the great work 😄
In today's news: The mayor has approved the construction of a number of duplexes in the quiet suburb of Danton. In other news, NIMBYs have started fundraising for the mayor's political opponent.
Very realistic outcome 😂😂
I genuinely couldn't stop giggling when I saw that the 'toilet' at the Pine Harbour harbour was a tourist destination...hahaha. Fantastic hehe.
Cracking episode as always !!
Good video! I suggest adding a pedestrian rail crossing from the disconnected suburb , so people have a easier time commuting to the center of town.
I think it'd be interesting to have the next small town be the inverse of Danton with respect to the train station; namely, as a rail junction where the station was built before most of the town. Maybe have an older 1930s style station there, and possibly a single track branch line to connect other small towns on the mainland.
Hi T. D. Knowles - cool idea! It could e.g be further inland, in the big valley north of Tagfield!
@@Infrastructurist I'm glad you like the idea! I spent a lot of my life travelling around NSW, Australia, by train, and it's definitely the norm for country towns to preserve their original station buildings, even if more modern buildings grow around it in the immediate vicinity. Blayney NSW is one such town that grew this way due to being an important rail junction (among other things), although the branch line from there has long since closed.
@@Infrastructuristhi that’s actually what happens in entroncamento in Portugal
I love the fact that you’re so detail oriented but still see the bigger picture and that you’re not afraid too go back/redo places you’ve already done! I know this series will end at some point but I hope it doesn’t ❤
I really love how you expanded this little town without sacrificing the residential vibe of the area. Some commercial but its not overbearing to need major industry infrastructure. Coming from someone who grew up in a small town, awesome personal touch of any city/region build!
I think there’s a stop order issue with the Danton bus line. It stops twice in the “old downtown” area, instead of stopping once, heading to the train station, and stopping once again in “old downtown.” Right now it just stops twice while it’s looping in the old downtown zone.
I really like this expansion of the village of Danton! It looks so photo realistic, keep it up! 👍
And now that we have a furniture factory we definitely need some forestry in the area!
@39:10 asking about making the ends of the network not be rounded - I believe that's available in the original node controller, but not currently available in node controller renewal unfortunately. Great work as always :)
Hi Joshua - thanks a ton!! I was sure it used to be possible - you cleared it all up.
And thank you for having subscribed for more than 5 years, wow! 😊
I have started to look forward to your videos. Great stuff. Starting to become one of my favorites.
Thanks a lot Patrick, glad to hear that ! 😊
I recently binged the entire series and this must be my new favourite episode! I absolutely love the new train station area, feels so realistic!
Great man! Also I think adding a big box supermarket and supply stores across the train tracks by the industrial area
I agree with having an express train line that just shuttles between the two big cities, and then having another line that stops at every community
Waiting for each new episode! Fantastic work! It looks awesome, man! Thank you for this station, it was so pleasing to see, how the town becomes alive and fast-paced out of just a small village. It is probably worth moving the bus stop at the entrance to Danton to the road on the right so that it doesn't have to make those circles around. There can't be a comment without mentioning a tram, so, if possible, it would be so amazing to have elevated stops (leveled with the floor of trams, so that people don't need to make a step up to get on it) small detail that adds so much context on how major cares about his citizens) hope to see a new episode soon, it's incredible, thank you for your work!
Hi! Your comment was flagged and held in review by RUclips for some reason - don't know why. But I just approved it. Thanks a lot for the feedback, I appreciate the support! 😊
Great video as always, have been looking forward to seeing it! Although I have one suggestion have you thought about merging the two train lines together so that you get a train line going from port Douglas, through Danton and pine harbor to tagfield? I think it would be realistic and it would make the regions connectivity much better
Thanks a lot! Interesting suggestion with the train line expansion, I think we should do that ! 😊
to make the end of the parking lot roads flat/straight: use the road with parking on both sides. the road with one-sided parking always has the round end
Great video. I personally feel the train station could use bit more parking, but it looks great! Also had an idea to move the bus station in the Danton downtown to the other side of the interchange so the buses don't have to loop around.
Building that production plant and then the warehouse and what looked like the local electric company WITHOUT proper parking drove me CRAZY LOL
loving your work ! keep it going :D
Thanks a lot Conor! 😊😊
I said but I'll say it again: this map is giving me some real bay area vibes :) I can imagine that where the Port Douglas island reaches the mainland you'd have a lot of car centric suburban development (stroads etc.) as the city limit would stop there and you'd have pretty much free real estate for developpers.
Also a remark regarding your railroads: you have the trees really really close to the tracks. In reality you'd have the branches of those trees being at least minimum 4 meters away from the right of way.
Thanks for the feedback PublicTransportationBelgium - and probably a really good point regarding the trees. it is something I have noticed as well - it is a little lazy to just use the painter to smash them in anywhere there is room. 😂
In other places I have tried to make a bit more distance to the trees and use the ore terrain painter to create a more arid look surrounding the tracks 😊
Stunning! Youre a Master man, I really missed the highly detailed builds from creators!
Thanks a ton Arctic Ocelot, I really appreciate it! 😊
i hope the new town that you'll be build,like what you did mention in 20:13 is University Town with a Football team that proudly represents Coniferia. maybe you can build a medium size stadium like what you often found in Netherlands/Nordic Countries.
Maybe it's time to build a bus loop around Danton. This will help get people around to the factories and the neighbourhood behind the train station.
The assets around the train station should reflect the houses surrounding them. 2x2. 1x3. 3x4 for one. All the rest smaller. Small town unique for visitors. Grab small items for workers go to or returning from work.
You put down 3 grocery stores in downtown. Nice rail connection. Need a express connect. Fits into the small community idea.
What a build!
The block right by the school, arriving at Danton, is a 2-lane (down from the 4-lane up to it from Pine Harbor) - logically it should also be a 4-lane one, which would then diverge the traffic in the two main directions - straight into the "old" Danton, and right, towards the train station.
Hey bro I am from India, I love watching your videos. I think you should add some football grounds or stadiums.
Thank you Sahil! Great suggestion 😊
Dude! Just subscribed on first try. Greatings from polar circle.
I really like the main road, which is wide and straight toward to the station. Adding some low-rise buildings along side the road would be a bit more cinematic, I think.
I know that I'm super late but I recently discovered this series and have been binging it so far. I know the chances that you haven't touched Danton ever since uploading this is pretty slim but just in case I have a suggestion for the train station as someone who grew up in a satellite town / suburb which is that the train station having bypass tracks for trains not stopping at Danton is pretty unrealistic for a town that size. I'm purely speaking from my own experiance but my local train station that connects my suburb to the city didn't have bypass tracks installed up until a few years ago despite being much bigger than Danton, instead the intercity trains and the local commuter trains had to share tracks which made taking trains pretty inconvenient but it was clear that it was a leftover from when the place was much smaller, which is why the commuter trains recieved dedicated tracks a few years ago. The point I guess I'm trying to make is that for Danton's current size it'd be much more realistic for the train station to share train tracks with all other trains that aren't stopping there instead of having its own dedicated tracks.
Looking fwd for that plastic production! Another great one ;) Keep it up
Thanks S-OWL, ill do my best 😊
The way you engineer your towns makes me want to spend $2K on a new PC and the game (again, as I play on console) and all the mods. I love the feeling. I hate the spending. HELP!
You could make the bus go past the factory after the stop at the station and have a dedicated end stop "end station" (where busses wuld have a small break before going back to the city) or a "end station" by the housing next th the factory after a stop at the factory to facilitate all of the workers there and the housing cut off by the rail line
I think you should make 1 Intercity line (the direct train between PH and PD) and 1 “Sprinter” (using Dutch ideas here, something like a commuter train) that stops at smaller stations along the line. This’ll be pretty cool, especially when the cities get larger and more settlements along the line pop up!
Great video!!
Thanks 🤩🤩
I noticed an empty spot with trees and foliage in front of the custom roundabout that you build in Pine Harbour, nestled between commercial and industrial area. I think you should build something there
You should add fencing for the duplex complex in Danton. Right now they just look like oddly shaped houses, but fences that run from the middle of each house would reinforce that they're duplexes.
Ok, I clicked on this thinking this wasn't Cities Skylines. Good job.
We miss the education system in the cities. We need universities and colleges at least two of them one for each city. Please mayor the way we have train stations we need education stuff too. Thanks for the beautiful built.
Very Nice video!
Ty ! 🤩
the "toilet" made me lose my shit 😂😂
Im so jealous. I wish my computer could od this. I just ended up going with PS4 because my computer just freezes with Cities. You have a very beautiful city.
loved the video, keep up the good work although i would love to play along doing my own city inspired by you. Day 3 asking for the mod/asset list!
Put a bus stop by the train for the elderly who can’t make it there haha
Hi Wysinger, we do exactly that in the end 😊
@@Infrastructurist this is why I shouldn’t reply until the end haha. Half way through and it’s such a great one, as always😗
Great episode! I don't think you need to change any entertainment things though - you just need to manage your traffic better haha. Dedicated lanes, some traffic lights, etc. will do the trick!
Hi Ash - while bad traffic management on this channel has become a meme at this point, I am just confused how it has exploded for Pine Harbour and the amount of vehicles specifically going to these areas, as we haven't been expanding Pine Harbour for quite a while on the channel 🤔😊
@@Infrastructurist it probably has to do with the land value increasing over time as it becomes more established. 100% traffic management will fix it!! PS - I like how long your episodes are, lots of viewing time :)
A thing that would be cool is if you would Mabey Build a big market Like walmart somewherer in Near a small Town that would be so cool
Great suggestion, we definitely need some big box suburban style shopping!
Since you aren’t restricting yourself to one region, what if you include little football clubs all over the region? Like there is a little Coniferia Football League with teams from all over the region. Coniferia Sunday league, if you will
A town this size would realistically have a police station (or sheriffs department) based out of it or with a small building to operate out of
Did you actually include Dantons new area in the Danton "zone" so that the population figure are correct?
Hi Tommy! Yep, I made sure to include all the new areas, including the neighbourhood and industrial area across the train tracks. I am however not sure I had the simulation run for all that long after finishing up the build, so we will likely first see the full effects of this expansion when the game has run for a little longer!
Absolutely gorgeous. He must have mods that allow for unlimited nodes & trees?
The city is looking great. I was just wondering how you get your game too look so realistic? What are the settings on the visual mods you use?
A cool think would be a big coustracsion side of suburbian buildings i Just lobe the Look of it
A second line would be cool and with the FLIRT train
Don’t forget to place some churches
what railway r u using on this video?
@8:59 how do you place house random from find it 2?
Hi Rafael, i have a tutorial on my channel from a few months back ruclips.net/video/2vciisubWtI/видео.html 😊
How have you done that all of the houses that you plop down has driveways or pathways to the curb? Is that a mod as well?
These assets have them included. But I've seen one creator (two dollar twenty) edit particular assets individually himself before building his city. So they had some detailing he wanted - a driveway, a garage, garden table with chairs, etc.
How do you get your cities to render so clean? My stuff always looks "
meh"
Is there an option to download such cities?
Are the trains run on non-eletric rails? the trains are eletric?
I am still new to the game. I was wondering can you please do a video about the mods you use? How can we download them too?
Hi Dany - you can subscribe to mods through the Steam Workshop, if you have the game on Steam. I unfortunately don't have full lists of all the mods I use - I use in excess of 105 mods. I do have a list of all the visual mods I use in the description though.
i think a good more essentials-only modlist would probably be like "nicolet bay" from "city planner plays".
Which theme are you using?
How does your graphics look so realistic?
Mine look like 1994
I feel like you underdo the amount of parking in an American style city. Most American cities have unnecessary amounts of parking typically.
Your industrial area consists of quite a bit of logistics, logistics is almost always placed where there are good road connections, not really train connections as it's focused on cargo rather than people. The road it's located on is currently connected by dirt roads, I suggest improving the connectivity for the trucks by upgrading those roads to a little bigger so its more realistic, awesome stuff though! Really enjoying the series.
Thanks a lot MovieBoysHD - and a very logical suggestion! 😊
@@Infrastructurist Yes! Although i see now that you did upgrade them to a small highway type. Also definitely make a local and rapid train service separate! That would be really cool, I dont know if its possible but even adjusting the speed per line like 160 km/h for the rapid and 120 km/h for the local would be pretty cool to see (Dont ask me how overtaking would work in this game though)
🔥👍👍👍
💪
What graphics mod you using?
All in description 😊
Can we see the city at night please..
