This looks exactly looks like the pacific islands. I think one thing though that would completely nail the look is a small dirt airfield base that the US air force set up during the WW2 - Cold War period but later abandoned and left to the jungle after not being needed anymore.
I was actually talking about the possibility of having some old WW2 remains with someone else. It's a great idea. Not sure if I'll be able to fit an airfield but we'll see 😊👍
Thanks so much David. Yeah, it's a cool little build. Will be getting back on this series once I get the downtown infrastructure sorted out in Cape Lomond 😊👍
I'm really glad you tried this! I made a tropical island map and struggled to make a decent city (especially before ECON 2.0 and the detailers patch). Harbour only start was barely doable but cars don't spawn so tunnels were needed. Anyways, great job and nice detailing! 👌
Brilliant pal! For smaller schools, police, etc. could always knock something up in the Editor. And in the Dev UI you can switch of the road wear shader if you want to remove the bright drive lanes. Playing catch=up at the moment so I'll grab Ep 2 tomorrow hopefully.
Ah cheers mate. Don't worry about the school/fire/police/medical assets, I've got a nice solution for them. Just put them in the build today. 😉 That said if you have anything that you think might be a good fit for the island, 100% sling it my way. Custom assets are definitely in for this series! Aiming for ep2 up for Tuesday if I can 😊👍
Having been to almost all Pacific Islands, the decals you placed on the buildings and roofs, along with the palm trees look very realistic! Now you need to have people, dogs and cats all over that little town!
Loving the island all you need is a couple of small wooden fishing jetties for people to fish and a nice small wooden beach bar for those fruity cocktails. 😊
I like the hand-placed low-density wall-to-wall effect in the town center. Not quite strip malls but also much more realistic than big gaps between every building, with generic stores having their own mini plazas and whatnot. I was impressed in the intro showing the preview of everything- I legit had to check this was a CS2 video, because it looked like new assets. FWIW re: water pollution, the economy update changed how fast it dissipates and it goes away after a pretty short time now once the pollution source is removed! If you click the Palette button on the color mod you get a much faster copy/paste feature that is standalone from the building panels. I also love the decorative power lines. I wish roads could have power lines on them as an add-on.
Stunning! You should take a look at SEENU series from Strictoaster (although I believeyou did). It's a kinda old school cities skylines 1 youtuber, but the series has the same vibe as yours and is really cool! If I recall correctly, he created a temporary service island at the edge of the map with service with helicopters, but never shown in the series, maybe it's an approach
Thank you! I've not heard of that channel before, it was up and running well before I started playing, but I'll have a proper look through the series tonight. Thank you for sharing! The service helicopters off camera sound like a brilliant idea! 👌 Thank you!
smaller turbo prop (DHC-6 or 8, 1 Embraer EMB 110) aircraft 3 on the tarmac by the airport terminal...... and a helicopter port can be used as emergency services fire and rescue. 1 small hotel.. 4 to 5 story beach side, 1 3 story hospital or clinic, The national Sport of Fiji is Rugby.. grass field.. no markings for an island this size (custom rugby field and remove the decals. you can also find if there is any mod that has aicraft with floaters.. like Single engine DHC-2 Beaver and DHC-6 Twin otter...so the airplane can land in the sea... if there is 1.. then no airport is needed. a fishing troller port... you can use to get a car/passanger ferry service onto that troller port... if there is anything like that... nothing big.. 1 peer.. with ferry unload and loading driveway...thats all. few local boats in the Atoll on this map. Islands like these can also have a large secluded Data Centre warehouses.. atleast 2 with security towers and a internal helipad.
I use some settings in my video editor that helps, but here's as close as you can get to my settings, in-game. Clouds and fog switched off to make it brighter (optional). Keep the map on the summer season, you can do this via dev mode and turn off precipitation via dev mode or weather+ mod. You can use preserve photo mod or lumina mod to keep the following settings while you play. Post exposure, 0.6. contrast 11. Saturation between 30-60 depending on your monitor. Do all this and you will have a bright, vivid game, but you might need to adjust these setting depending on your own set up :)
Hi there 👋 I keep an updated mod list on the discord if you wanna check it out. It's easier for me as I can just screenshot and paste it. Just added the Bali Ha'i mod list this morning 😊👍
Hi, it's not my surface to upload, but I believe it will be coming to PDX mods soon as part of a bigger farming detailer pack. You can get it from the modding discord, or if you want, you can jump in my discord and I can share it with you there.
Hi there. I keep an updated mod list on my discord if you want to check it out. There's a couple that won't be on the current list as Ive added a few new ones this week. 😊👍
