Connecting Trains to a MASSIVE Distribution Centre | Cities Skylines | Sunset City 29 

Theres nothing better than finishing an exam and coming home to a sunset city video!

Sandbox Microsystems reminds me of Sun Microsystems, which was a similar company founded in the 80s. Though Sun Microsystems was based in California, Sandbox could be this universe’s version it. Sandbox would be an important company, selling computers, computer parts, and even their own coding language (Sun Microsystems created Java). Also, it makes perfect sense why Sandbox would be working with a car company. As far back as the 60s, cars had computers in them. Though these computers didn’t drive the cars, they were still important and did stuff like cruise control, and sensors. The oil/fuel crisis in 1979 led to a big increase of computers in cars to control more efficient fuel usage.

Maybe you could have an abandoned, rusty old steam locomotive hidden somewhere in the swamps. It could be the "Seminole Steamer" or something. Just a bit of railroading backstory.

Ideas I had for stuff to add (I'm only at episode 17 so sorry if I repeat something you already have) 1) Night clubs and discos, I mean, it's miami in the 80s 2) a military base originally built during the 60s to protect the island 3) an old settlement of fisherman now abandoned built in the late 1800 in the swamps

It’d be cool if you added in a church for Cimology, as a cool reference to Springwood! Or maybe it’s more like a cult in the swamp or something?

Huge residential build next please! Maybe gated communities with pools or a large residential subdivision or something. The demand is too high!

I absolutely love it when you start something small and then insanity takes over and you demolish half a city and rebuild it completely. 😅Well done, looks bloody gorgeous! Also, how does one record a timelapse like yours during detailing? I mean the camera slightly moving while you build/add props? I'd love to improve my recording skills someday.

I still think a speed boat arena at the world's fair is a great fit. It is quintessential 80s Miami.

Love the lore at the start, really brings the series to life. The temporary ore factories do look quite fitting in that industrial estate.

18:40 That moment you demolished a commercial district to build a freeway... you replicated something that happened a lot in North America. In particular the US, destroying a neighborhood to build a freeway. Nicely done! Side note; a little bit of head canon. By destroying that block, that's how the gang feud began. Between the gators and King Buns. Because King Buns had a restaurant that closed down. Not two weeks before the whole block started to be demolished. So now the gators really want to burn the house down. Both literally and figuratively.

Gangs you're talking about with the Sunset Riders. There actually was (apparently now defunct) a motorcycle gang in the Florida Keys and most of southern Florida. They were founded by Batistas, who fled Cuba when Castro took power. They actually got associated with the American Irish mob and were friendly with Whitey Bulger, and other key mob bosses in the United States, mostly for use in contract killings and drug trafficking. It's pretty dark stuff, but may work for your gang (given in the 80s they were actually pretty prominent, and fought with other Cuban, Haitian, Bahamanian, and Jamaican gangs from the Caribbean, but also Mafioso from Sicily, Irish gangs under the direction of Whitey, and the rival Irish gangs who opposed him, and street gangs who were either being controlled by or fighting with the larger ones, all quite prominent rivals).

I am a huge fan of World’s Fairs and Expos and Cities Skylines! It’s funny to think that a lot of people don’t think they exist anymore but they do! Thank you for creating one in your City. You are the first person to do so that I have found and it’s awesome! I think the one thing your EXPO is missing is your logo and Unique Permanent Icon kinda like Universal Exposition of 1889- Eiffel Tower Brussels World’s Fair (Expo 58) - Atomium Seattle Century 21 Exposition 1962 - Space Needle 1964/65 New York Worlds Fair - Unisphere / New York State Pavilion (My Personal Favorite) Montreal Worlds Fair 1967 - Biosphere Japan 1970 World EXPO - Tower of the Sun You need to have one so after the fair is gone it will be a lasting memory of what was there and how much it meant to the people that visited it! I look forward to seeing what you create!!!

You should start building more residential neighborhoods because in real life people would be moving in about now at a rapid pace.

Another amazing video! 3 videos in one week ?? Blessed Definitely would be cool to see some homeless groups with tents next to those tracks in the industrial zone Maybe the cities gang has another local hangout around there? Needs some crime!

As much as I love the Sunset City series, an Oceania episode would be welcome

Loving this series so much, what an amazing build.

You truly are the king of building realistic areas is C:S! 👑🙌 I love how you just keep changing/redoing things too make the city alive & natural & the lore makes everything extra special 🥰

you can indeed have a train track crossing right next to a road intersection by using the node controller. overcharged egg shows how in ilos with trams i believe. connect the tracks to the same node as the road intersection, then use the "offset" variable on the tracks to push them to the side of the road intersection

It’s so surreal to see architecture local to me in Sunset City. I saw the Videotron Center being built IRL.

Awesome work! Loving the series. Definitely looking forward to more of the Sunriders' escapades. Maybe something illicit is happening in the new distribution centre? One of the Sunriders might be negotiating with a warehouse owner to ship goods in either direction, from outside the border to into the main goods system and back again.

I have a idea for the Sanbox microsystems story. Idea: When the city was select to be the next place for world expo Sandbox microsystems played a big part in it and helped raising monye for it. The world expo also helped them to get known world wide

those cars are concepts from the 70's but yea they still look pretty futuristic!

Sandbox Microsystems gives me a serious Stranger Things vibe, like it's a front for a Classified Cold War Research Program into other dimensions or mind control, wild stuff like that. But hey, still not as sketchy as making people drink swamp water *cough cough Fab Soda* :)

I love the fact that you're 29 episodes into this and you're still losing money hand over fist. You should be absolutely raking it in by now. 🤣😂🤣

You could add big rubbish bins outside some warehouses for even more realism! Thank you for this series :)

I love how the new industrial area look, but I’m worrying that there might be to much of them. I think you should probably build some more neighborhoods, so that way the industrial area don’t take up too much space of the overall city

using this city as inspo for my california inspired build, finally gave me the motivation to play the game

sandbox microsystems strike me as the sort of company that went bust in the late 90s due to overexpansion and i think it would be cool to allude to that sort of thing

there is a Mod that makes realistic walking of people in Cities Skylines. put it on, otherwise people are floating on your land)🙂

I live for your detailing montages right now

Would be cool if the industrial district had a rail connection to harbor. Also feels like the Sunset Riders almost definitely have front somewhere in the area, a seedy warehouse perhaps.

Well this was a cool video! Being a railfan myself, this episode was a wonder for me, with the rail spurs and old equipment. I love it As for a recommendation, I'm not exactly sure where or how you could do this, but I'd love to see you try to make a street running line! Basically a train track that goes down the middle of the street, some even go through neighborhoods! I was thinking that road along the water with the rail line beside it would possibly be a candidate. I'm sure there's other good spots though. Anyways, great video! I love seeing the progress being made.

Big episode! The amount of work you chuck into these is always so great. Even the kinda overall arc of the video you put work into, like how you keep referring back to something will get better, or something might not work out quite yet

idea for why the microchip company has their logo at the miyagi motors. is that they own the building and have built a fancy show area if technicaly advanced systems or something. and miyagi are renting the space as it aligns with their futuristic style.

I'd be cool to see the farm the sunriders "product" comes from on the far away island, when you get to it😁😁

Add a half part to the fab! stadium, focusing on pigs and farm animals, kind of like a petting zoo for kids.

A medical complex that takes up a few city blocks would be cool. Maybe an older original building that has more modern additions to it, integrated parkade, and the new donated tower.

Have you thought about making a Space Center somewhere in the outskirts of the map? We do have the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, and since the Space Shuttle was introduced in the 1980s and launched out of the Kennedy Space center it might be fitting. And if you don't want to make an entire Space Center then what about adding a Shuttle transport atop a Boeing 747. The long haul transportation of the Shuttle atop a 747 was a spectacular event, and if you're planning on making an airport, you should at least add one of those. If nothing else, it fits the rocket theme of the world fair. Have a goog and check it out if you haven't seen it before

are you gonna build a disneyland type thing out in the swamps? of course with its own unique sunset city brand and stuff

I live in the Florida keys and we have a lot of boat dealership, you should scatter some boat dealers around. 😀

Ohh I just love videos like this with massive distribution centers or harbours I love trying to create them myself and the sitting for hours and hours just moving a fence 10 pixels to the left, make a new connection be it road/rail and seeing it fall apart or not working from the start, frustrating, but man I love doing it

Well the microchips in cars doesn't sound too farfetched as cars started getting their ECUs (Engine Control Units) in the late 80s. So Sandbox could have strated making these new ECUs that improved the cars to be more future proof and pave the path for other ECU manufacturers

This is a fantastic build and the warehouse area fit perfectly. But I think what would be a good addition to Sunset City is an elevated metro line going from the University over the abandoned railway to downtown and then into the northern suburbs, like the Miami-Dade Metrorail shown at 19:40. It opened in May 1985 and back then was one line running from Dadeland South in Kendall township through downtown out to Okeechobee Road in Hialeah. So I would be really happy if you built one. Thanks! 😊😎

Foe the train tracks running by the water canal thing at 18:56, you should get the street running tracks by ronyx. I think it would add alot

Hello I am new here, I have never really watched City Skylines but I searched for it bout a week ago and I found your channel and I really just got stuck into watching episodes of Oceana City and then I subscribed to keep getting content cause man this is relaxing to watch, keep up the work man.

You should look up the Miami Marine Stadium and add something like that on the waterfront!

Love the look of the industrial area! The Network Multitool mod allows you to add or remove nodes. Very useful.

You could add like a hospital complex. That could be pretty cool.

Awesome episode! Good to see the city making some money, now do something about that trash issue 😂

cities bleeding money is pretty accurate for the 80's though

Railway 2 has some street running networks that you may be interested in.

Thanks for another great video. Next time, you should work on South Beach

Loved this video! The commentary and edit was spot on, and I felt it was so relatable with how atI end up thinking qnd planning my cities: atention span of a squirrel and massive snowballs hahahah!

I’m looking forward to seeing what you’re gonna do with the northern part of Seminole. Hopefully we can see some beaches like new Smyrna and Daytona, the space center, and orange groves in the interior with trailer parks and hillbilly towns near the lake and pine forest.

You know what would go perfectly in front of that concert stage? Alittle picnic area. Food trucks, tables, grills, all that stuff.

@28:40 the 3-way intersection could be smoothed out from corner to corner, to allow long trailers to turn right alot easier. They usually do that in these areas

i like the fact that he wants to go with the 80s theme. for the architecture its great and well put together. but talking about the microchips being out of their timeline. what if he followed his own timeline, letting him develop a new story line set in the 80s.

That orange car is a HF Zero. Very cool concept car from 1970.

i absolutely love this series just started watching it from episode one and finished catching up, love ur content

On the whole "Microchips in cars in the 80s" thing - The first Australian car to have a fully computerised 'Engine Management System' was the VL Commodore, released in January 1986 (It was also the first new car under the new for that year Australian law stating all new cars starting that year HAD to run unleaded fuel). Point being that "Microchips in Cars" and "80s" isn't actually all that far-fetched at all.

That was awesome to watch . Very well done video .

Very productive episode dude! Well done all looks great.

Perhaps my favorite episode, absolutely great stuff twenty

I would love to see some Ex-Sunrider who I guess crossed the boss of the gang and now, as an FBI agent or undercover police officer, has made it his mission to end the Sunriders once and for all and maybe at the end of the series, finally gets them all caught.

It would be cool if your city could host the world cup and have a bunch of football fields. Just a suggestion if you want to. Keep up the videos man!

That’s wholesome city-building

Your map looks perfect! Congrats

I love this series! Keep up the great work!

Hey just thought since you like industrial rail areas you can look at this city Kelowna. the area im talking about is right above the downtown, you can see where it went to the old lumber plant and the barges used in it. Idk maybe there can be an area like that in Sunset City with the mangrove wood and in the swamps and you can have floating lumber since i know you need industry

We need some kind of Concert really! imagine a perfect hippie kind of concert with all hippie vans parked everywhere and it could also be sponsored by king Buns with a plan to save the amazing Company

Love love love your videos. Honestly. The amount of effort and time it must take!!! 🎉

Weird, I just placed the same water park life- deep sea asset & downloaded the hotel blocks😂 Great minds 👍🏻🙂

Glory to sunset city!

I bet you already know that but, industries really need a garbage disposal close to it to function properly. This is the best series yet for me. Keep up the good work. Also wanna know you thoughts about the CSky II, are you hyped??

If you have the money to spend, then an airport is a great way to make money. Nudge, nudge, wink, wink. I look forward to the airport build, but understand you need the margin to do so. Those rail spurs look awesome though!

Someone has probably already told you this, if we go back to episode 15 a lot of Miami-style houses are identical. Basically all of suburbs that are in FL.

Modest Pelican quote at 8:28

Such a fantastic build again. Looking forward to what stupid decision the city will make next... a skyscraper in the swamp? An ugly seawall to protect some big box commercial? Single family housing on artificial islands? 😆

Excellent video!

Since sunset city is an 80s theme and based on the US I thought perhaps you could incorporate a certain military base with fast aircraft that feel the need for speed. Could fit into the story nicely.

as apart of the expo ad some links to your version of cape Canaveral with rocket parts throughout the expo and the space centre as-well

Good stuff lad. I'm one of the new people here and your vids are great.

Looking forward to seeing how you build the space centre. Built my own vanilla version rescently, so will be cool to see what you can do with mods.

Perhaps you could create a steam train line from Santa Julia to the other islands since the municipality had enough money to repair the small bridges, but the large bridge to the mainland was too expensive to fix.

Loving the series, I have a suggestion you could do, you could probably like have the series go up to the year 2000

YES! TRAINS!

stage from RCT2, nice

I am quite pleased with myself that I have brought Sunset City to it’s knees in debt. (If you need help with… refinancing… your debt then I’ve got a few more exciting infrastructure opportunities)

Shouting a Coffee for your next live stream.

cheers for the video

You may want to switch you warehouse station tracks to a non electric version of them so it’s more realistic

Waterpark behind the hotel!

This looks like cities skylines 2 😮❤

Silas should have some of his trucks outside of the Expo

29:09 cab-over trucks like the ones you've placed aren't really seen pulling industrial goods in America, especially in the 80's when truck regulations loosened.

hey man. Ive got a few questions about some roads and other buildings i installed earlier. recently ive installed the big roads mod and ive made sure to install it but no matter where i look i cant find it, and when i load up a game it doesnt show up? ive tried uninstalling and reinstalling it but it just doesnt want to work, ive also tired installing some schools and firehouses and they dont show up either? please help as it would be greatly appreciated

we need 1000 more sunset city videos

Nice ep m8

Could you possibly add a Water Park? I think it'd be really cool and could give more tourism.

I like the globe in the first spot
