Starting a New City! - Building Benton Episode 1 - A Cities Skylines Series 

I love seeing how you balance between "perfect" & "organic" road layout. My roads usually look like they were either drawn by a 4 year old or laser cut with a computer, and nothing in-between.

I love that you name the little house, then kill it within minutes through road upgrades

Ah a new city! Looking forward to following my first Yumbl series :)

Pipes not under roads, residential on arterials.. Somewhere City Planner Plays has a headache and doesn't know why. Despite this I do quite like how it's panning out, not every city is perfect.

I like this build more than your past builds. It feels like you are really using the game mechanics, rather than placing individual buildings. Enjoying this quite a bit

Hartford, CT has a landfill right outside the city along side I-91 North. In the summer, if you have the windows open on the highway (some do), you can actually smell it. It used to be a lot worse.

32:38 -- Best description of the vanilla trees I've ever heard!

I wish that if you place down roads, it should automatically have pipes under them. And if houses are built, I wish you can see smaller pipes branching out of the main pipe and connect to the house. After all, the mayor’s job isn’t to manage the pipes. I also wish if there was a tool to create a outline of your city without having to actually place down roads. There was a game called “prison architect” and it has that tool. You’ll understand.

As much as I love the highly detailed cities of the best RU-vidrs, I really love playing vanilla, or rather, the traffic simulator. So this episode was just a tiny beginning, onto great things in the future (interchanges! industries! bridges! transit!)

My impression was always that money is scaled (roads are also stupidly cheap) so 1 unit of currency = one thousand dollars or something to that effect. Thus $24m for a high school is highly more realistic.

22 units is the perfect length for doing pipe grids across your city

The new trees *are* good, though the purple jacarandas can be a bit overwhelming. They're eye-catching trees - there are a lot of them around my neighbourhood - but I think they work best in little patches... e.g. a single park, or a short avenue lined with them.

56:25 watching this whole video has been real freeing, as someone who has very little experience in city skylines but always wanting to make a "perfectly-planned" grid. i think this is my favourite city of yours yet

I enjoy the hybrid approach of vanilla assets and progression with quality of play mods.

Nice, a series from you I can watch from the start!

Really enjoying the chill building series, can't wait to see where you take it from here!

For the Triangle Park, if you removed a couple of the paths and trees your residents would have a nice place to play ultimate frisbee or kickball. Currently it serves adults pretty well, but the kid in me wants to see a larger open space to run around and play in.

im excited to see you posting the start of a series, ive been following your tutorials for a bit and really like the chill atmosphere of your videos. happy to follow along!

I would enjoy seeing DLC farms and DLC forrest Industries.

My fatal flaw with starting a city is locking myself in with car-centric designs, but I remember having a successful city sometime ago with a downtown area and a sprawling suburban development despite that car-centricity Now, I've been more willing to branch out & utilize transit options and ped walkways to de-emphasize car usage. Maybe someday I'll attempt to play the game in a more vanilla way with the new knowledge. Watching this does kinda get that itch going.

The way you talk and the words you use is extremely relaxing and I love that. Keep going bro your videos are inspiring and relaxing. Love to see more episodes like this one

This is awesome, feels a very real monologue stream of consciousness and learning along the way - extremely watchable

Loving to see a city build by you. You have just a unique way to set up a city. Love to see what's coming up. Keep up the good work!

Wonderful to see a more organic city, I love your planning and such, but seeing a city grow as it grows is always fun

Absolutely amazing. Had me hooked from the very first second. I am excited to see how this city will be going on in the future.

Wonderful video as always! Thank you Yumbl!

I love your building style. Awesome, keep it up!

I am loving this city already. I hope you're having fun with it, very keen to see how this develops :)

This is amazing. I've been waiting for you to post a video so I could comment and ask if you were planning on making a new city, as I thoroughly enjoyed watching Resfaber and binging most of your videos past month. And here you go, promptly starting a new build! I'm eager to see how it'll turn out!

Ahhh a Yumbl series, this is going to be good. Lets see how many of your own different interchanges you will put into the build 😋

Excellent, finally another map to go with my Noveria download. Thank you for that, always up for a nice new map to play. Looking forward to watching this series. Do ALL of the industries, they look more realistic and can be condensed nicely or spread out over the map as it makes sense.

I liked this video a lot. I've been curious how you would tackle vanilla these days. Really cool to see!

About the industries, hell yes! This is awesome watching you play "almost" vanilla.

I think you should use industry DLC. Doesn't matter which one(s), whatever makes sense I guess. Great video by the way. I enjoyed it

I already love this serie. Please keep it up. Its so relaxing...

Wonderful vanilla gameplay!!

Love the thought process which is producing an attractive and functional design.

I like the odd curved road to break up the monotony of a gridded city layout. I live in a neighborhood that is a dream to live, drive in for it has a lot of curves and çuldisacs.

Very nice start!

I'm beyond hyped for this one!

34:30 $24k for a High School is an amazing deal. The middle school I went to back in the late 90's burned down 2 years ago. They got an insurance check for $5 Million.

Kinda excited to see a city painter play how I play with progression and money!

love it - you really inspire me 🤩

Exactly the kind of content I was looking for ! +1 sub :)

He is back. Love the city building series

Love seeing new cities! Just a tip for the trees at the start. Tree Anarchy mod is enabled by default. You need to disable it down by the RICO meter. That'll stop the trees from persisting through everything!

A great start, thank you. I would love it if you checked traffic numbers occasionally.

Playing Vanilla is so hard lol. After playing with mods and having free reign to do practically whatever you want, it’s really hard to go back to the basics.

looking forward to watching this city grow!

I just wanted to say, I actually laughed out loud when you said bad hair cut.

I appreciate all the videos you do. I just starting playing C:S again after watching your content. Very enjoyable

Had me at "garbometer" lol 👍

RIP Little House at 31:25. You will be missed

ah hell yeah i been waiting to see you back in my feed

City Planner Plays sees the pipes: "AAARGGH! MY EYES!!!!"

Benton Way happens to be the exit I would take to get to my apartment when my family first moved to Los Angeles in the 1980s.

From my understanding Landfill only fills up it's plot size, it won't do anything else but filling up, once full it needs to be processed in one of the process buildings. Incinerator (out of my head i do not recall if it delivers power for garbage incinerated) It takes garbage from RCI or emptying landfills, all it does is process them for a set amount per week. Recycling center (out of my head i do not recall if it delivers power for garbage incinerated) It takes garbage from RCI or emptying landfills and recycles part of the garbage into resources and incinerates the rest (you will every now and then obtain resources like metal, glass, coal etc.). I do not recall if the incinerator is better than the recycling center, all i know is i made a shift to recycling centers (i believe cheaper upkeep and build price making it more efficient, it's also green) There is also a garbage sorting center i believe? haven't p[ayed with it couldn't tell you anything about it, it's one in one of the DLC's?

Heh, "Deliver the goods". I dunno why but that phrase tickles me :)

Love this series. Just listening to you talking soothes me hahaha

Love this video! i would like to see DLC industries as I always struggle to set them up and maintain them properly so that they gain a profit so it'd be nice for instruction more than anything else.

"Magnetized to the Stroad" Good album name

Yumbl: the deal has been altered. Me: pray I don't alter it any further. Yumbl: 😆💙

YESSSSS Love this

The Bob Ross of Cities Skylines.

Can't wait to see the city evolve! Maybe do forestry industry somewhere? 🤔

love this!

Yumbl, loving the series idea and goals, hopefully you'll be using node controller to improve the vanilla connections. I'm not sure how much time you want to spend improving the vanilla assets since you're mainly using them, but with BOB you could proactively change the tree models on the assets to the young linden and other content creator packs. Plus with theme manager you could control the spawning of vanilla assets for specific areas. edit: got further into the video, read my mind.

mate, you should definitely in future make a district just outside of the city called Bentoff

And I thought I couldn't stick to projects 😂, you and I, sir, are on the same team.

All of your off the cuff movie references gave me a chuckle.

Nice video! I think people don’t like putting buildings on the avenue roads because spawned cars can only turn one way because of the median, and it causes the AI to make a lot of unnecessary u-turns at some other junction if they want to go the other way. Not a huge deal, but if you have big block sizes, it can cause problematic traffic on high density zones.

31:30 RIP Little House. You were not long for this world.

Funny how you build the industry on the other side than I usually do. But still I can really use some of the tips.

I find it amazing how you just take basic vanilla stuff and make it look that awesome. I love your videos, you're inspiring me a lot :)

31:28 NO! LITTLE HOUSE. HOW COULD YOU, YOU MONSTER?

Hell yeah a new series

Re your question at 54 minutes. My understanding is that the recycling centre turns rubbish into resources and doesn’t store the rubbish as it all disappears. The incinerator burns rubbish and can process the excess stored in a landfill. You just have to be careful to avoid overwhelming the incinerator when you empty the landfill.

I'm really looking forward to following along with this build, vanilla YUMBL is going to be interesting :D I would definitely love to see some Industries DLC action, it'd be fun to see all 4 different industries and then maybe a factory district by a harbor/airport. Thanks for doing this new series YUMBL! Super stoked :D

The road power would get me too lol I need that Elektra road mod :)

Really excited for the new series! :)

Superb! Benton has grown very quickly from its Yumbl beginnings! ;-)

Although I'm a German native speaker, I really enjoy watching you and have already learned a lot thanks to your content. You have a very pleasant way of describing what you are doing. I stumbled upon this Let's Play by accident and immediately had to subscribe to your mod list and the map. Nice starting area with good motorway connections. Subscription and Like is a matter of honor! Btw you have far too few subscriptions for the quality of your videos!

We want every industry type in this city

YUMBL: *delete rocks* Biffa: 🤦🏻🙅🏻

I'd love to see you doing Industy DLCs

I learned so much from this video

Weird coincidence my name is Benton and I just got this recommended in my feed. Gonna be watching this lol

Thank you

Vanilla trees: "look like a sad haircut" LOL. Relaxing to watch your build. Thanks

"Yumblewoods". No humility HERE... 😆

@YUMBLtv - Have you finished New Market and Resfeber? I loved how these cities looked, and would love to see how they evolved!

I believe the difference between the two types of school are the community school has a larger range for happiness. You would be able to verify by looking at the green range the school gives off in the education menu. It should go farther for the community school

When considering cost in the game, multiply all figures by 1000 and it becomes more realistic.

The alarm sound was horrifying. Reminded me of some bad memories.

Was that a sneaky Underoath reference 😁 It's dangerous business walking out your front door

Ogden UT's landfill is between the freeway and the city. I would assume that the landfill existed first. Regardless, people don't want to live by the freeway but landfills don't mind.

I would love to see you do some farming/Industries DLC.

holy shit thiis guy griids inside his parks... crazy stuff

i like to build a regular grid, but cut off non thru-streets to make cul-de-sacs for a little bit of variety. then i take the interrupted streets and connect them with walkways in order to favor pedestrians over cars.

The building that you deleted, was a rock.
