Here in São Paulo(Brazil) we don't actually have many train lines, but we do have an really iconic road wich they have plans to build a park in it. It's called Minhocão(translates to big worm, because of the shape of the road). The road is blocked for cars between 8PM and 10PM and is blocked for cars at sundays throughout the whole day. The plan is to block entirely at some point and make a long stretch park. It's a elevated road, at the heart of the city, and there's a lot of discussion on how to make this happen. Cause here in São Paulo we have a lot of gentrification and this could lead to more gentrification at the center of the city, and even more traffic problems
The trainstation feels very backwards when it is facing away from the city. You would want your central station to be as accessible as possible and right now you would have to take a really long detour to get to the entrance.
I think that the area you’ve asked about could potentially host an old baseball stadium kinda like wrigley’s field in Chicago. Though I don’t know whether it’s possible to create such a thing in Cs2 or if it’d fit. But it makes sense to have a dense stadium district in such a location.
Some suggestions for those two blocks that you mentioned wanting to redevelop near the end of the video. Have a look at Dublin, Especially the end of the river liffey near areas like North Wall and Ringsend, its all been redevloped over the past 15 years from old dilapidated warehouses and factories into modern office blocks, you could also build a government style building like the Customs House or the Four Courts in Dublin, or an old smoke stack like the Poolbeg Towers! I feel people dont look at Irish cities much so you might find something interesting. (Cork also has some old messy looking rail lines, one being turned into a greenway)
no idea how common this is in america but we tend to have a few old, overgrown brick houses right next to our rail stations, that could work next to the harbor
I have had the reset too, i just used infinite demand to fix my city. Its not the best solution,but it works and the buildings you plopped wont despawn
To live here, you must own an amphibious car. What do you mean you don't own an amphibious car? Ok fine, we'll accept people with submarines too..... 🤣😂🤣
I will never understand how C:S youtubers can just build stuff as beautiful as that waterfront. You people are genuinely insane, considering it takes me 40 minutes to figure out the road layout for a town of 300. Keep up the good work mate, can't wait for the next video.
For the abandoned lot next to the train station, you could consider a car rental location or taxi service. It makes sense being in close proximity to both the train station and cruise ships coming in, allowing citizens to pickup a rental car to get through the city quickly as a secondary option to walking all the way to the pier.
Wonder if you can put decals on the billboards at the end there, would really fit in with the run down look. Also could send the subway line underground under the service building in the rail yard without too much hassle.
Love the progress on the city so far i think for that industrial area you could have a giant warehouse turned into a water park or some sort of theme park.
I feel like the undeveloped site between the bridge and the port is perfect for a modern bus terminal! It would sit perfect near the harbor and main station, and continues the theme of transit. Great video as always :)
On a different note, I really love the idea of that park! Reusing the rail line like that in what used to be an industrial district is super cool! Reminds me of part of Salt Lake City I visited where a bunch of what looked like old industrial warehouses had been converted into mixed use shopping and office spaces.
I really like this series!! I'm excited for when you get around to building your own version of PATH to serve New Dimesburg, and I do think that the metro station is an excellent fit at the train station. Also I'm excited for the freeway - be sure to target low-income areas and add more lanes when it fills up with traffic.
Why do people care about if you've unlocked something? Have people played this game? CS2 is ungodly easy. There's no challenge whatsoever to just have a city function and make stupid amounts of money. What makes this game and modded CS1 fun, is the sand box and building the city.
You were missing a mod if those buildings had to be on zoning, there has been a mod out for a quite a while now that let's you place buildings without thinking about the zoning. And you really should gte the extended upgrade road tool to upgrade rosds to have the quays etc, which is also an old mod by now for CS2.
idc h what types of wealthy properties I can get I am NEVER parking underground when I’m right next to the ocean Cool utilization tho, and even better coverup of the weird ground glitch
theres two cool things i learned about today, that might come in use later. you can use the hangout area tool to make a field of some kind and place animal spawners within the area, and they will roam around there. i used it to make a field of cows. secondly, you can delete the fence of agriculture field between the nodes, so if you put the nodes close together in a straight line and add a sand/gravel surface, it becomes an entry point for farm vehicles. edit: you could definitely do some storytelling by placing a car underwater and adding things like emergency vehicles, traffic cones and/or tire tracks on the shore edit 2: it *might* be possible to remove the smoke effect of the chimneys with better bulldozer
Probably it would be hard to create, but an idea for this space beetwen train station and center. I think an industrial old factory that has converted into a shoping mall would be a great addittion. Just not sure how to do it... He have a lot of those in Poland
Until they bring out the ability for creators to post custom assets, I just can’t take the time to enjoy any of this. Every single city feels the same. 😔
