Welcome to Solitude, our new tropical Rainforest city! Episode 3 shows how to start planning road and transport networks early on in your city, laying out the network for our first larger beach town!
This is a modded Cities Skylines let's play series, with the focus on detail orientated mods (but no PO), we'll be building a completely playable and functional city with efficient mass transit networks, including all DLC and content creator packs. 2023 ready! The series is based on game play mixed in with detailing timelapse's.

I feel like the map should have a visible class divide. It'd be quite interesting to see a slums-like build.

@fewcandy Год назад

Yes already planning a couple of favella style low income areas for the bases of the mountains! Definitely needs an obviously class divide for sure!

@@fewcandy you will want those close the coast, in warm tropical climate islands, the wealthy live up in mountains away from the infested mosquitos and make use of the good views.

@paulschmidt9827 Год назад

For the train lines you may be able to use tmpe lane connectors to make it so they can’t switch lanes

@saethone Год назад

You can, and there's a mod called something like "hide unconnected tracks" or something so they wont have the visible crisscrossing tracks as well

@juliahenriques210 Год назад

It looks like you've let lots of sand in that beach. That may prove fortunate, since there's a nice functional beach asset (a park) in the workshop that requires lots of sand and shallow water. You may, of course, decide to make your own beach park, in which case I'm sure it may prove quite popular. :)

@Meeesa Год назад

That beach asset looks so cool! I'd love to see that used in Solitude!

@h34dbug92 Год назад

I need to see this

@herebejamz Год назад

The benefit of switches on those crossing nodes is, even if you work around it in simulation, the practicality IRL of being able to use local rails or intercity rails in emergency situations is useful, and one of the best reasons for standardizing track sizes.

@70M45-c9r Год назад

Yes, but combining that with road crossing is not quite realistic as it would make the crossover so much more complex

@herebejamz Год назад

Complexity isn't an inherently bad thing. And considerations for space and land usage often add complexity to a project.

@joeschmoe0216 Год назад

I know I've said it before, but your eye for detail is so absurdly incredible! I love your builds, they're just amazing. Can't wait to see this build keep fleshing out.

@fewcandy Год назад

Aww thank you so much!

@SephStuff Год назад

Great video! For keeping internal and intercity trains separate, you can also use the lane restrictions in TMPE to stop trains from changing tracks at junctions - that might be a neater solution than playing around with the speeds on the internal lines. You can also use the ban vehicles mode to ban freight trains from your passenger lines and vice versa!

@fewcandy Год назад

Thanks Seph! I couldn't seem to get the lane connectors working but will give it ago, banning vehicles is also a great shout! 😄

@harppppp Год назад

There’s some really nice 1x1 Green Cities cabin/hut commercial that would look great somewhere by the beach!

@fewcandy Год назад

Oo yes definitely! Perfect use for those assets!

@lumingguan Год назад

You could do an elevated roundabout, and change the flyover to go under. This would allow train underpass as well.

@fewcandy Год назад

I originally considered this but with the flyover already coming in at a raised height it looked slightly odd, but for sure would help the trains!

@drjonritz Год назад

@IlyaYatsevich Год назад

To get rid of unwanted rail tracks crossings in those node when 2 rail tracks crossing road through 1 node, use tmpe and directly draw directions which train track you want to go in which direction (it's the same technique, when you create, for example, dedicated lane to turn left/right on road crossing or sliplane on highway).

@vexcarius7100 Год назад

Amazing build! I suddenly miss building on a tropical theme map! I’ve been working on my desert city since 2019. I would want to see 1. A nice beach front district with shops and bars 2. Hiking trails / park to the mountain 3. Slums and shiny luxurious villas 4. Excited with the island tour packages your city can offer 5. Maybe a tribal village where the indigenous people in that area live. Sadly, most of tropical countries with amazing beaches has this darker side where big corporations grabs tribal lands for the sake of profit and real estate. I think it’s always true for most countries.

@fewcandy Год назад

Lovely ideas, thank you so much! You'll get a beach front in the next ep! But can see us incorporating all of those, thank you!

@ben0329 Год назад

Amazing episode as always. Those networks will look so good once people use them! That area outside the railway station is screaming for some kind of market

Definitely is! Thanks Ben!

@duszhduszh Год назад

Good planing is everything and one of the most difficult things in really developing a city to it's future. I always struggle with how to lay out the road network and end up with traffic problems. This was a good help on how to think more on a bigger picture. Lovely as always!

@fewcandy Год назад

Thanks Duszh! 😄

@TainaraFrostSWE Год назад

The "realistic functional beach" asset from the workshop is a given on that breach area! It will look awesome I think

@edwardbickford8277 Год назад

Good call setting up all the transit groundwork before any major builds. My Ideas for potential Solitude builds... A cruise port with a nearby beach resort area. I would like to see a build using the sea fortress asset from the parklife DLC. I would call it the Fortress of Solitude. At that point it would be fitting to name a peep Clark Kent Perhaps a space port could be built on the island at the top left of the map. And my last idea for today is maybe building a naval military base. I want to remind you about your notebook notes. Brad should be getting his neighborhood soon. David gets to franchise his glass factory. And I get a minigolf course.

@fewcandy Год назад

Thanks Edward! And for the reminders! 😌

@StarStuff. Год назад

this was a very satisfying prep, can't wait to see all the transport in real action 💗 loving the vibes and the music to go with it 💗

@jstokes Год назад

You had asked about some suggestions -and somewhere on the island on a beach having a Lūʻau - with outdoor tables, bonfires, stage area for traditional Polynesian dance. It does not necessarily have to be a tourist thing -if you have ever seen the local dance competitions, it quite impressive. You could incorporate the stage area that you used in Burning Tent in a custom build with palms, etc, near a beach for this kind of thing. Another classic eatery is the Hawaiian plate lunch -and these were originally for farmworkers -so the farms you have would have something like this -the food trucks by the ferry you have with the picnic tables under the pergolas is the kind of setup you would have for a plate lunch place -or with a shed, and these can also be found in any rural area off the side of the road. The other thing is if you have a fishing industry build, many of the fishing boats have their own restaurants -some quite famous like Mama's Fish House -direct from fishing boat to table. All so fun to think about.

I made my one opinion clear on location of the airport. But. I'd like to see the water front tram with pedestrian. You could always shrink the width of the path. Though ik how wonky stretching can be. (What was I thinking using the new pedestrian path on a breakwater/pier😅)

@devdanielplays...7519 Год назад

For connecting the tram station up [24:50], I think you could have used the "Union" tool inside Network Multitool, which should be able to combine that end node with the junction. The "Intersect" tool (again, Network Multitool) may also have worked. I'm getting into detailing myself and the nitty-gritty of these mods, and there's certainly a lot of untamed power there haha! Currently making my way through your playlists as I've only recently discovered your videos (as a follow-on from CPP, Overcharged Egg, Akruas et al.) and am thoroughly enjoying them so far. Really relaxing vibe, great artistic vision too (far better than mine!) :)

@fewcandy Год назад

Thank you! Yes I still always forget to use NMT as it's relatively new compared to how long I've been playing the game, but a ton of awesome tricks in there! And hope you enjoy the binge of the playlists, and welcome to the channel!

@devdanielplays...7519 Год назад

@@fewcandy Haha, no worries. It's definitely one of those deep plugins, like IMT or Move It. Speaking of Move It, in your Hawaiian beach episode, you actually pointed out how to scale in Move It, which is not something I knew about at all! And this sharing of knowledge is why the C:S community is one of the best in gaming :D

@Eric-tp2kf Год назад

I noticed in your top down view that your Mountains are in somewhat of a straight line. Was thinking that you may want to add a scenic mountain top rail to connect some of your outlying areas. You can google scenic mountain top train in New Hampshire to get a feel for what I mean. I think this could give a pretty cool look with tall rail bridges in the background.

It's not just the roundabouts, all the slip lanes on the main roads can be saved and pasted in again to stop you having to do it over and over. Loving Solitude though, it's perfect.
