1,000,000 Population City Challenge - Cities Skylines 2 

I do not recommend attempting this, RIP PC parts. www.patreon.com/imkibitz

Bro is building a normal City in China

Yet another massive CS:2 bug. Shocking.

It's actually insane how much they messed up this game. It seemed like it would be such an easy slam dunk but I guess I forgot to take into account company greed when thinking that.

My favorite thing to do in order to insure I have a comfy playthrough on CS2, is to give everyone free water/electricity. They lose their minds from how happy they become lol.

My game collapses at 60k pop and this guy is running with 1mil pop. Same pc can run star citizen at 60fps btw, kek

USA: TRIPELING THE AMOUNT OF LANES LETS GOOO Europe: no-no, we're gonna have public transit

This bro sacrificing his sanity and computer to bring us entertainment. 😂

Hey GPS Which Road is my exit? GPS :" You're F**d"😂😂

8:02 Oh the pain, how do you still manage to sound pumped? I'm in awe

16:01 POV american infrastructure engineers when there is too much traffic; I have a NO BRAINER ANSWER:

I feel like this is a visual representation of how the city of Toronto was assembled

I love modern game optimization and how people still put up with it (*helldivers 2*)

Great to see you back on City Skylines, love these vids. Thanks dude.

You should play timberborn again! So much stuff has been added.

Aaaahhh yes!! The: "you can't park here" joke.. classic 🤣🤣

Cities Skylines 2! Build anything you can dream of… except for that.. and that..

I love the random challenge videos like this. Always brings out the best editing

The 8h crash setback must have been DEVASTATING! props to you for sticking through it

The human dumpsters 💀

3 minutes in and I'm already saying "Nope!" Your entrance/exit ramps with a roundabout. That seems like an excellent way to have someone end up going the wrong way down a freeway. Also, there's a reason the right lane is typically the exit Lane. It is typically the slow lane. Same reason. It's typically the entrance Lane. It's the slow lane, and you're less likely to get rear-ended.

Great video, I heard of a 500,000 population city in Cities Skylines 2, but not a million. Very nice. Hopefully as time goes on, our computers can handle high population cities.

Hey Kibitz, nice to see you try CS 2 again. :-) Also something you should give a shot is Oddsparks, Factorio meets Pikmin! Super fun!

Honestly this style feels exactly like the megalomaniac style of "city" building by middle-eastern dictators lately lmao like they would def hire you

ive been waiting for so long for a new CS2 video

You should try it in the City Skylines 1. I bet it would work well better

Kibitz really destroyed his PC's lifespan for us 😭🙏

i have been playing with the water physics for a while and the best advice i have is: the water sources will continue to emanate from the ground and fill whatever dam or crater you put them in. However i do know a way to mitigate the rise. Step 1. pause simulation Step 2. raise the ground level above the flowing water and water source (it’s best to have flattened land to locate the source) Step 3. play the simulation for no more than 10 seconds and then pause again to find the geyser Step 4. raise the ground with a small radius just to submerge the puddle that has formed Step 5. with the biggest size brush, lower the ground all the way surrounding where the puddle originates from. this will cause the puddle to very slowly fill the crater which you have made however with the game paused you can repeat this process to make the extra water disappear by submerging it in land and recreating the crater

Kibz: "My apocalyptic slide show has begun and these roads are *perfect*"

That first crash had me dying 😂😂😂

yay finally ive been waiting for soo long

That one dude called "Not just bikes" always said, one more lane won't fix the traffic. Yep, that's why we need TWO more lanes

Just a big block, I wish someone make this experience actually trying to get the city a little more beautiful, with hills, organic roads and green areas, but Kibitz carisma makes up for it, great vid

Its fr crazy how game is about building city. But still it doesn’t have realistic population and has so small map… like cmon! You want us to build abandoned small town? Instead of massive populated capital

Kibitz got so much dedication for us Crash after crash

I got abt 820,000 in CS1 with a realisitic apartment/home population mod, so population in high rises would be much higher than vanilla, after that i couldnt expand anymore

Oh. my. goodness. I cannot believe you just did that. Very, very impressive.

15:30 kibs just finding any reason to make a slum xD

Great video buddy!

holy shit a new CS2 vid

FINALLY CS2 CONTENT IS BACK

kibz please bless us with satisfactory 😭😭

This was hilarious! Maybe in 2 years this game will be fixed. Def want to see this not run like dog poop

Before Cities Skylines 2 was released i thought with technologie advancing you could easily build a city with a few million citizens. Especially because they said that there was no cap on citizens and it was only what your computer could handle...

you should do a challenge next to get the most happiness possible

Neat to see people playing this garbage lol.

It took me 80 episodes to create a city that had just over 500,000 population, but then without the demand mod, (called "Oakdale" and can be found on my channel) but the game speed is really killing it. Imagine I was running the game with 128GB of ram, an RTX 3090Ti and a Ryzen 9 7900x 12 core processor baking at 5,5Ghz........It's insane. From what I understand the slowness is caused by pathfinding. The more and longer pathfinding you create the slower it gets. So it would help if you could squeeze as many population in a very small space, with just limited outside connections. But, that's a theory I did not tested yet.

you are the goated city skylines tuber

The left exits on the roads give me anxiety, imagine driving and then taking an exit at 60mph, that's probaly the reason for the high traffic because 8 lanes is enough for 1 million pop city

I have tried to give them several simulation tips, but they either refuse or are unable to get any of them in the game. The biggest one being the use of PhysX code, which is 1000% faster than CPU coded "collision", and the AMD version of that same GPU power. Since the major simulation killer is "people walking and colliding". They fail to grasp that PhysX collision is not just for water and gravity, but also for general object collision detection too. Using dedicated hardware to give accurate results, thousands of times faster. Realize this... With 1 million people, that is only 333,333 people that need to be simulated, every other frame. The game is literally choking on 30,000 people per second.

16:20 -Let's cut a highway here -Elementary school? -goodbye😊

congrats on 1M ppl

This is the first video I saw from you and you remind me of spiffing Brit

I really want a game dev to put a whole super massive city from city skylines 2 into a game like gta5 or something lol

I tried building cities like this in CS:1, had a whole grid worked out and everything. But my laptop always pooped its pants at around 250k people 😞

Traffic still not as bad as highway 91 in SoCal :)

Triple the lanes!

You should have put all the roads underground baby

It might add up if all the commercial zones the one with residential on top.

Yay, more cities skylines!

What PC do you have (Parts)?

That computer may never know why you hate it so much lol.

My city is doing ok, im thinking of starting a rail network, i have a sort if rail network but uts very ugly and i got a few Japanese style assets so i want to start my actual proper city now and first thing im doing is planning rail network but boy am i struggling, didn't think it would be this difficult

My PC is just slogging at 200k people.

Kibz better treat his pc to the best thermal paste and a week of down time for the hell it went through!

Roundabouts are good at handling smaller amounts of traffic, but they are not made for large interchanges between several main roads and highways. If you really want to have these roundabout you can do one thing: some bypasses so that not everybody needs to go through the roundabout and block everything. Another option might be a timed traffic light or, what I would prefer, build a proper Highway interchange for the highway entries (Cloverleaf-Interchange or Turbo Interchanges. Also you don’t need that many lanes for a highway, because otherwise it would rather confuse the traffic al and mess everything up. More lanes are not always a solution for heavy traffic. These five lanes are in the game, because you can use them before a split into two highways. This extension makes it easier for the cars to get on the right lane before the diverge and also prevents traffic jams caused by the lane changing. In your case I would replace those roundabout with traffic lights. Two of these five highway lanes will go straight ahead to the next jiunction, where you can merge another two lanes, to the highway. 2+2=4. a few hundreds of meters (before the next junction) you can add the fifth lane. And again. The 3 remaining lanes are leading to the junction. There are so many lanes, because they are acting as a buffer. The more lanes, the bigger the buffering effect on those junctions. A good amount of lanes are four. Two for going right and two for turning left. There is a lot of lane mathematics and boring stuff I mentioned, but this knowledge might be very helpful for other grand projects. If you ever have similar traffic problems you can try to implement my Advice and if it doesn’t work you may ask Biffa.😉 He is really good at fixing traffic issues.

you should try this in the normal gamemode

Seeing the CN Tower surrounded by high rises seems about right

All you need to do to fix traffic is to add one more lane

If you get water feature you could change the way the water spawns so it would go away

He's back!!!!

You should try Frostpunk 2, i can see that

Ah yes, a good old car-based hellscape with the parking lots cheated away.

I would be interested in the system you are using, must be very beefy

San Friedcrisco was right there bud.

Just make Tokyo

Thanks Kibitz for sacrificing your computer in the name of science!

Kibs totally has this in the bag. Kib’s PC totally does NOT have this in the bag.

kibz did you have a fire extinguisher on hand when playing the games?

Bro is gonna blow up his PC hahaha

I did not think we would see 1 million population. Not in a million years. Crazy lol

By the end the game is running at real time speed haha

@ImKibitz what was the peak RAM usage of the game? Obviously the CPU was at 100%.

What graphics card and processor do you have?

"Human dumpsters" 💀🔥

Should keep the city and ever time they release a major speed improvement reopen and test?

16:58 bro angered every british person alive

Watching this game for the first time and i wanna go get it immediately but i sold my ps5 2 days ago and i have a potato pc… rip

theres a mod that lets you delete the water source and increase evaporation speed

Maybe send this to LTT so they can try running it at 60 fps 😅

“Oh my gyash” -Kibitz, 24:40

I know the sim-speed is in the toilet, but how do you get your fps to stay so good? (at least for the first 400k pop) I'd rather 30-40 fps and lower sim speed than choppiness and decent sim speed.

nah only so many ppl can fit on a train at once staying at 400k capacity seems about right

you sound like the guy on the cs2 radio lmao

Highway lanes can only be replaced by more highway lanes

Lesson learned: never challenge an urban planner to packing problem

It's pretty funny to me how people use this video to say "see C:S2 is bugged!!!" like yeah it was/is bugged and it would have been better if it had been released later. That doesn't change the fact that the game is incredibly more detailed, intricate, *and* has a better performance quality than C:S1. This video doesn't show bugs in the game because this is not regular gameplay. In regular gameplay the demand would slow down forcing you to build at a pace the game can keep up. This dude literally modded the game for infinite residential demand, paused the game and zoned in thousands of individual simulated cims at once, like obviously that's going to make the game crash? It would have crashed c:s1 as well.

in 5 years maybe the hardware catch up to the game lol

23:21 747 hehe

I'm so glad that I live in a small rural area in Germany😅
