Can We Survive the Economy 2.0 Update? Cities Skylines 2 

I like detailing with homless tents, but was like wtf at the first glance lol

I wouldn't mind the tile upkeep concept if you could build networks outside your purchased tiles so you only pay upkeep on tiles that could potentially generate tax revenue and not ones you only bought to build a rail or road connection.

Just a warning, you need to address the economy stat, it can really spiral out of control. Getting 529 and relocking all tiles where you have no zoning or placed buildings is a valid option to help, if not an outright must.

Awesome cemetery Twoey but you do realise that you can space elements when you use the line tool yes? No? Ahhh... well, school days and all that! Keep them coming fella, super stuff.

best episode of the series yet! not sure what changed but this really felt like a classic $2.20 episode.

I love how there is a hulking hospital building overlooking lawrenceville much like in Pittsburgh in real life. Maybe take a look at Childrens and the other UPMC facilities for hulking neighborhood hospital complex ideas

When I think two dollars twenty, I think awesome detailing. Thanks for spending some time in this episode to detail up some awesome stuff!

In the cemetery, add paths so that people close to the water can cross the cemetery without having to go to blocks out of their way

31:28 End of episode be like: "a little special message if you made it this far" *proceeds to zoom in on the cemetery* 😆

DAMN! Love the music! Going from piano to a sick guitar riff! Love it! ❤

The addition of the tile upkeep fee makes me feel like there needs to be a way to sell tiles back to the world to gain back tiles and some of the money you spent on them. The main use case would be temporarily buying tiles to landscape or build infrastructure between isolated parts of your city, and you would only be able to sell tiles that don't have any buildings or zoning in them.

Btw you can lower decals into the ground like in CS1 and they become more transparent exactly the same. Click on decal, use transform, change increment value to 0.1 or 0.01 and lower the Y axis and it’ll become semi transparent 👍

Wow! Those cinematics were really beautiful. I'm definitely seeing the potential of this game now

I don't care that you might spoil the next episode. I only watch these to see how you make them. I don't know how many times I've rewatched the downtown reconstruction of Mile Bay, I just like seeing how you build them.

City is great would like to see more brick row houses classic nyc architecture

Loving the new update personally. Game feels like a totally new game tbh.

On Beechwood Street (at the college) I'd put the combined residential-commercial buildings, some shops and some bars for the students makes sense

Great episode - glad to see the city is transitioning somewhat smoothly. Even better outro.

I've never seen so many taxis since ii updated this morning xD But omg, the subbuilding change is sooo nice.

What a lovely surprise. Glad to see another New dollarton vid ❤‍🔥

Relock the pieces of land that don't have a road through it

Tile upkeep is a bit steep, definitely if you want to create a big nature reserve or only crossing the tile with a network (like a road), taxability/profitability isn't high on those tiles, but you pay a ton for the upkeep

Detailing? Yassss! We've had to wait for this for too long, let's turn this city into something good looking at last 😀

This game has so much potential it could even be a war simulator or have different time periods I would love to build a 1920s city people walking in suits and dresses

I would love to see some new more dense development with some structure like row houses or blocks which makes an area look really realistic with "city vibes" :) btw the view from the cemetery looks really awesome, from that perspective especially it all really looks like a real city... ^^

28:06 that ambulance just knew what you were going to say as it decided to phase through the highway 😂

I'm for sure dive back into the game now!

I would keep the tiles as long as you can afford to lose the money. Would be a nice challenge again to even out the unrealistic financial advantage you had before this update came out :)

Geurnsey looks exactly like a neighbor in the Dutch town Groningen called Helpman.. that’s super cool love the realism

In the new update I'm still making tons of money (though before I was making over 50 million a month) however there is no demand for workplace zoning while my unemployment is nearly 20%, and the residential zoning never goes down.

Was super excited for CS2 but held off due to the issues. This patch has made me finally want to play the game.

Woah that city looks amazing, I think I need to watch from the start..

Citizens can only receive unemployment for a limited amount of time. When they run out of unemployment, they will complain about “High Rent” and move away. Brutal

your city looks so beautiful O_O

I think you wouldn't see a river next to a cemetry because of ground contamination But I really like how it turned out

24:42 - if i remember correctly the fence tool gives you the option to rotate and space the objects out!

Hey I know you asked this in the last episode, but I thought it would be a really good idea to name some parts of the city after bank jobs, since it's themed around money. Like the old New York commuter train, the Broker, and it's sister train, the Banker, both named after most of their passengers, since brokers and bankers would ferry over the river from the Financial District and get on these trains to get to their homes in New Jersey. Just uh.. Don't look up what happened to the Broker. ;)

My right ear sure got a lot of love in the beginning there...

BTW. If any of you creators can elevate this issue to CO for hot fixing immediately: Office zone bug where they reduce employee count every 45 minutes game time, ending up with all at 5 employees. This crashes taxes for the city and obvi unemployment! You can't afford the tiles if we don't have lucrative offices!

Hate the upkeep on tiles. It limits creativity

You should look at the H1 and H201 freeways in Hawaii as some inspiration for your freeway system... They have to contend with difficult geology and dense urban environment. There might be some good ideas there.

ye, I would get 529, it's a tremendous help in my city as I did the same as you, though I just lowered the tax, re-locking should be a good bet as well, still loving the vids

My city might be in shambles haha

Time for some urban sprawl in all those tiles you've unlocked, adding to the tax base and using that massive residential demand you have

Just tried playing today after a few weeks. Mods aren't loading, game freezes often and crashes after 20 minutes. Never had these issues before. What gives?

Next thing to be tackled should really be terrain conforming and being able to drag straight sloped roads. Some of the areas in your project are perfect examples.

i keep imagining malakai narrating this

Line tool has spacing my friend. As well as rotation

Is anyone else having issues with their mods since economy 2.0? None of my mods are loading up anymore - I use pretty much the same ones as in video

Two Dollars Twenty fiddles (with detailing) while New Dimesburg burns (through its cash reserves).

I feel relocking is more in line with playing how you would’ve played if this feature was in the game from the start, if that helps at all

FIRST!!! Lets gooo! What a pleasant surprise!

i feel like that the game is pretty good already, its just that every city, and i mean every city looks the same, there is no themes or nothing, there is no deserts theme, no jungle theme, no anything

Love tile upkeep in concept, but it needs to be renamed to "Administrative Fees" and rebalanced with not just area but population (population density).

I thought you'd planned on revisiting Sunset City a few months ago? I just can never get into CS2 content. 😔

For some reason, my tile upkeep was actually not that bad (even though I have a lot of tiles) but I felt like my cost of city services went way up (not importing anything)

You should start taking advantage of all the land and build a lot of resource harvesting industries.

i Just tried a new game, new city, and lasted to Autumn when i went into negative debt... after being basically forced to buy the services such as police station, fire station, morgue, Medical Centre, imported electricity, etc and raising tax rates to 14 per cent - failure!! I think this economic model 2.0 needs some more fine tuning before i come back to the game again

Cool 😎👍😎

also as a main street on "billton island" or "new billton island" should be named hedge street instead of wall street

It is save to say I like better now. Still with all my issues to the missing Workshop.

Love you too

24:31 you cant change the spacing of the line tool? but i guess it's nicer when you put it one by one it looks more real and interesting

Tombstones should all be facing the same direction, East

I was considering jumping back in but a tile maintenance fee and I don’t wanna bother

They need to revamp the growable’s really. If they implemented a system like the one in manor lords, I’d be straight back onto CS:II

Video needs an updated name. I usually do not enjoy detailing too much, but can if I’m in the right headspace. Title of the video gives no warning that this actually a heavy duty detailing episode.

lucky you have no deadwave,this also a big thing, with city of 360k ,i got 5.3k deads a week,and this for 2 months. be prepared of this.,before you open you map,unlock all map tiles,and you don't pay for it,or you can see cityplanner how he deal with it. there is other option,but to complicated to write this down.

After the update my game is broken. HUD is gone when I start use anything on the tool bar, but when I first load the game it's slow as hell... and it's unplayable - and no, I have no mods installed. Nice update.

You could call new development “Vayloria”

0ºC in the summer 😮

Hi!

Trying to fix the econmey and not to be distracted by building and deteiling challenge. (Impossible)

how did you get all your mods to work? mine are 70% disabled because they no longer work since the update (better bulldozer, find it, etc.)

Still waiting for the 24 hour city skylines 2 ocean video

Инфраструктурный проект "Сотовая модель конгломератов" решит проблемы мегаполисов 🐝 Archimedes XXI century 😇.

I went Bankrott in my Citie I have do it all over again.

i recently found out you can get almost 20 more fps by closing water animation in the dev tools. even more suprising is nothing changes visually when you make it zero. the sad thing is when time passes it returns to 1x speed and fps drops again. please try this and you will get the idea. i am trying to find a solution to this problem help me

I love the update but my city was constsntly in the minus, could never get it profitable lol

what is the piano song around 15:15? I want to learn it lol

This game is getting better every time i see it

If I spend 1500 on a new PC how will C2 run and what components should I focus on?

How do you have find it and picker the new update I now can't see or use them

Any update is good. They are working to make it better than it was before. That’s good. I want to see it succeed.

I went to update it and the entire game needed to be installed again. I never uninstalled it so idk why it’s doing this hahaha.

PLEASE BRING BACK SUNSET CITY, WE LIKE CS1 CONTENT!!!!!

They did Economic 2.0 wrong. 1. Instead of make the game harder by severe the consequences of undelivered goods/services and encourage the player to create a better traffic; they punish the player by placing services with higher upkeep cost. 2. Bug small coal power plant (the first mandatory item that needed for the cities) output and upkeep cost for not same as its description. 3. Unrealistic no traffic light for every crossing still a solution for traffic jam. Player have no consequences for deleting traffic light. 4. Citizen still crossing even with no crosswalk. Hope dev can do better.

i litteraly cant put healthcare into my 2000 people city cause its too expensive

I can't seem to get find it to work and I see it works for you. How do you get that

What happens if you fill up all those tiles with farms?

IMO tile upkeep feels like a mistake

How are your graphics looking so clear and crisp, with details on the buildings? I'm running an RTX3070TI and have all graphics settings on high, but buildings have almost no detail on them, they are pretty uninteresting!

I just loaded my latest saved file. Population 81k credit/hour 860,000 Tiles purchased 238 No mods Ran the game at max speed for about 30 minutes. Results: Massive death wave (expected), BUT, population still increased to 84k Credit/hour down to 160,000 So, If I had not "bought" all the tiles available then the credit/h would be higher, but, the tile "tax" was not a big issue with all possible tiles owned. However, I can see this being an issue of you used a mod to open up all the tiles. I did have one issue, my metro line was broken in an odd way. One of the metro trains was stuck on "Boarding" at a station . I only noticed cause my metro line goes "above ground" for a tiny bit, and I noticed that a line of metro trains began to form up. Had to destroy and rebuild a station to get things going again. Will leave the game running overnight to see what happens. But, so far, it looks good (a lot of the "high rent" icons have gone away, but that might just be due to the massive death wave).

Hey. Maybe you can help me. I’ve tried installing the find it and move it mods. They don’t appear anywhere on my game, only on the mods playset. Please, it’s starting to get annoying 😢

hey pls go back to sunset city i miss it dearly

I was hoping each patch would improve my game's performance but i think my computer just sucks 😔

Do you think if it’s worth to buy CS2? I have the first one though.

name manhattan Billton island

What is that song at 3:26?
