The first installment in my Beginners Guide to Realistic Cities in Cities Skylines 2 series! In this episode, we will cover the basics of starting your realistic city, covering road layouts, downtown planning, industrial port development, inner-city row-house neighborhoods (with a twist!), the transition to low-density suburban areas, and more - hope you enjoy!

It looks like you were one of the few early release creators who were playing the new game instead of trying to play CS1. After all the bad news about the game today, this made me feel like I still would want to play it. I'd like to see more street level video about how people are using the city.

@Invincable84 8 месяцев назад

It's a good game but the performance issues lock a good amount of people out of playing. When they optimize it and even add DLSS or FSR to the game I expect it to be a great successor to CS1.

i bought it and we definetly worth, alll the additions are amazing! No money to terraform, money is way easier to come by now when you get to each level making it more fun as you dont go bankrupt right away to start. This game is very fun, the performance needs to improve but the devs have already said that is what they are currently working on.@@Invincable84

Your organic grids strategy instantly reminded me of Seattle, where all the suburbs are North-South-aligned grids, but then Downtown and Belltown are grids at different angles (but still connected). I like it a lot, even though I moved back to Europe it gave me some nostalgia for my time living in Seattle, with a view of the three grid orientations from my apartment.

18:46 How can you place the roads so near to the water`? For me it always says "in the water" and I cant place. Any advise?

@Volaths 7 месяцев назад

I have the fix, it's dirty and it doesn't look as slick but it does work. So get to the point where you've terraformed the sea up to the very edge of the road, go until you cant get any closer, now instead of the next step of rebuilding out the terrain from the roads, instead delete road sections one or two at a time, and now get your alley or road turn off all snapping and build where the old road was, or until you see the wall section on one side and it'll allow you to make the quay. Rinse and repeat as you get close to the existing roads. It's finnicky and sometimes requires a little and I mean a LITTLE terraforming but it does work. It isn't as neat and precise either since it's not snapped to a grid but this will get it done for you. Make sure your road height is set to 2.5

@grunge0023 8 месяцев назад

I think the port should be towards the top of the Island, in the open seas. This way it would be a deep sea port, be near to the shipping lane and cargo ships would not have to divert that much to dock at the port.

@mygetawayart 8 месяцев назад

idk i think it's pretty realistic to have the harbor be in there. You'd always want calm seas at your port to ease docking and departure maneuvers, and in case of storms, you'd want to avoid damages to the infrastructure. I imagine he'd wanna use the rest of the inner coastline as a harbor, leaving the view of the open ocean for beachfront properties, hotels and parks.

@grunge0023 8 месяцев назад

@@mygetawayart True, you would want to keep the port safe from the natural elements but majority of the ports of countries have deep sea ports which means accessibility to larger cargo ships with easy access from the shipping route. For protection however, a sea wall could be used like he used in Port Douglas I think. But all major ports are always open and deep sea.

@SuperNugget92 7 месяцев назад

@@grunge0023 Generally speaking: If you have the option to use a bay or have some sort of big river/river delta, you want to use that as a harbour and dig it deep for the biggest cargo ships. For example take a look at europes Nr1 and Nr2 biggest ports. Rotterdam and Hamburg. Theyre both using a rivers. In the case of Hamburg its more than a 100km(~60miles) away from the ocean. New York would be a good example aswell. As for the river delta, you could take a look at Shenzen. As for a bay, you could look at the broader port area of Athens, Rio de Janierio, San Francisco , Pearl Habour even Hongkong. An example if you dont have such natural features is Barcelona or Los Angelos. Were you find seawalls, as you discribed.

@elementalgolem5498 7 месяцев назад

@@grunge0023 not entirely true. Many big ports are indeed protected by natural barriers. Just because there's land protecting it from the elements doesn't mean the water is shallow. Oslo port comes to mind.

@grunge0023 7 месяцев назад

@@elementalgolem5498 I did not know that. Thank you for adding to my information, I always thought that major shipping ports were always deep sea and with no natural barriers like Dubai, Salalah and most deep sea ports of South Asia and East Asia.

I really like how you think about a story of the place here. I've been trying to do that with a British type city that has a mix of German, Norse, Franc, Saxon, Norman, Angle, Celt and Roman influence. Especially with naming. Helps that there's random bridges and ruins around the map or little farms, is that just when doing European theme? But I'd never considered a lot of these simple tricks.
