So you've just bought Cities Skylines and it's your first time playing. How do you start a new city?
In this quick, easy-to-follow beginners guide, I'll show you the BEST way to start a brand new city 100% vanilla. If you're an ABSOLUTE BEGINNER, we will go over the basics of the game, from the starting road layout to zoning, services and how to make money in Cities Skylines. We will go over the first few milestones and what to do when you unlock each one.
This tutorial applies to both PC and console players, but I am playing on a PC so some things may be different if you're on PS4, Xbox, Switch, etc. I have a few visual mods installed to make the game look more visually appealing, but the gameplay itself is 100% vanilla base game.

@junirenjana Год назад

One thing that I always do when starting a new city is to put all the budget sliders to 50% and adjust them accordingly to the demand later on. Budgeting becomes practically unnecessary after certain threshold (because it's very easy to make lots of money in C:S) but it makes quite a big difference at the beginning of a game.

@CitiesByDiana Год назад

That's a great idea 😊

@stackupmac Год назад

@woltroztrainspottingrel Год назад

Keep in mind: Commercial shouldn't be used as a buffer against industry, as they do mind about pollution just like residential, but a bit less. Offices can be used as buffers or fillers, as they don't mind about pollution, and doesn't generate traffic at all. It's also best to keep commercial/industry demand around 25%, you don't want to run into "Not enough workers" problem.

@CitiesByDiana Год назад

That's a great tip about the keeping demand above 25%!

Does it happen with you, so that the cemeteries do not cope with the corpses, although there are a lot of cemeteries? And garbage dumps can't cope with garbage, although there are many garbage dumps, but very few cars are used.

@Igor_Sobol Год назад

sorry for my english, i'm using google translator

@CitiesByDiana Год назад

Yes, you just have to spread them out evenly through your city so there's enough coverage across the map. If you have them all in one place they won't work as well and youll have issues with garbage and death care because the vehicles will take a long time to reach areas farther away. 🙂

@Igor_Sobol Год назад

@@CitiesByDiana When I try to distribute cemeteries and trash cans on the map, I notice that they send cars very far, to the other end of the map, so I make the areas closed, I don’t connect them with roads. Is it possible to somehow limit the range of travel of cars of these services?

@PeterEvansPeteTakesPictures Год назад

Good video! I kind of weep a bit at the Vanilla architecture in Cities Skylines. Sometimes they nail it such as with the Parks, Green Cities and Industries DLCs, and sometimes you wonder what the hell they are thinking when so many players clamour for more realism. At least they could have a button on the building info panel to enable / disable goofy elements such as the coins. The sad thing is that I really like to try and play as vanilla as possible, but I keep being forced into the arms of the world-o-mods. In all honesty, only the low price and my insatiable lust for plazas (can never get enough - and one of them looks just like this one in Pittsburgh wot I saw) has me tempted. If I did buy it, I'd certainly be hitting the 'keep historical' button. Oh well, maybe there'll be some more content packs providing a more down-to-earth variation. Good videos by the way, the only criticism I have of your channel is to maybe go easier on the 'swoof, pop, swish' type sound-effects as they become a bit much. This how ever is a pifflingly small complaint. Have a lovely Christmas.

How do I get more coal for my power plant😭

@CitiesByDiana Год назад

Excellent question! First of all do you have industries dlc or no? If you have industries you can create a warehouse to import fuel, if I'm not mistaken even the coal plants technically take petroleum/oil cos there's no coal resource in the game so you'll want to make a warehouse with that nearby or have a well developed oil industry. If you're playing strictly base game, I'm pretty sure making industry and using the "oil" specialization district in the district specializations menu will produce oil industry for your city and then it's a matter of making sure delivery trucks can get to the power plant. Then again I might be wrong, usually I switch to solar or wind pretty early on so I rarely have power plants run out of fuel.
