  • Expanding, Detailing, & Density in a New City | The Ultimate Beginners Guide to Cities Skylines #2
    If you've been struggling to get started building a thriving city, I'm here to help! In this episode, we'll work to bring density and curves to the city, as we finish up our last purely-base game episode. We'll also incorporate detailing and explain how to make vanilla parks look custom and how to make quay walls look good. We'll go over detailing techniques, show you how to make perfectly curved roads, and start to increase the density of the city. And by the end of the episode, we'll add approximately 5,000 to the city's population
    ** Series Structure **
    The structure of the series will be as follows: 5,000 population added per episode, a new DLC/CPP/Mod Set added every two episodes in the following order:
    1. Vanilla (YOU ARE HERE)
    2. Parklife
    3. Industries
    4. Campus
    5. Mass Transit
    6. After Dark
    7. Green Cities
    8. Sunset Harbor
    9. Snowfall
    10. Natural Disasters
    11. CCP
    12. Basic Mods
    Topics covered in this episode include: initial freeway interchange, layout out a basic grid, zoning, providing adequate services, using districts, and policies.

    TIP: high density commercial causes a lot of noise pollution. A good way to help minimize the effect of it is do high commercial, then office on the back side of the block, then transition to high density residential. Putting HD residential right against HD commercial can cause noise sickness. I find it works extremely well.

    9:30 small note here: if you apply heavy traffic ban to zone with commercial/industrial buildings the trucks will still go in there IF thats the only way to those buildings, the law is to disallow trucks from using, for example, a residential area as a shorcut, making traffic unnecessarly bigger, but if theres no way around the banned zone,they will still drive to those buildings

      On the other hand, I've found that specialized industry (forestry in my case) both imports and exports a ridiculous amount of materials and goods, instead of using what the city itself produces. Honestly no idea how to get industry to use its own materials instead of making that horrendous logging truck traffic. Maybe I'm missing something, but as-is, I'd rather deal with the commercial importing traffic than the insane shuffling the game does with goods & resources.

    Hey Phil, I just wanted to let you know that for road ramps, you don't have to go all the way down when you go over 12 units when creating ramps. You can go over 12, and down 1, then repeat that 3 times to make a smooth 36 unit ramp, or over 12, down 2, then go over 6 and down 1 to make a smooth 18 unit ramp. As long as your proportions are even, your ramp will be smooth. (This works for paths, roads, railways, etc.)

    This is well timed for me. I don't remember doing this but apparently when I was a kid, I was huge into city planning? How to take care of infrastructure, where to place important services, how to design neighborhoods and the like. The only answer I have is that it was probably when SimCity came out. I was probably a weird little kid.
    But it's nice to see a professional playing a game that simulates their career. Like the pilots who turn part of their living room into a simulated cockpit and fly the really complicated flight sims with a lot of peripherals. I've also heard that in Europe, mainly German, that service simulators like Bus Driver, Train, and Euro Truck are extremely popular. It's neat to see when people LOVE their career choice.

    8:00 the recycling policy is not a cost you can see in the policy expenses, as it clearly states "Slightly reduced tax income." If you watch your weekly income, you will see it drop by about ¢500/week more or less. There absolutely is a cost that you can see if you look at the right screen. (Other things are happening that affect this number, but it is a very sharp decline in a very small amount of time, so we can accept that this is the overall cost.) It's not listed as an actual stand alone cost figure because it scales differently by zone, and different zones generate different volumes of garbage, so one figure is insufficient. For example, (assume zones are all of equal size) low density residential creates a lot less garbage than high density residential, which creates a lot less than commercial, which creates less than industrial. The percentage of that garbage recycled isn't a simple linear scale either as low density residential recycles more than high density, which recycles more than commercial, which recycles more than industrial. So if you enact that policy on an industrial area and on a low density residential, the industrial will recycle a much lower percentage of garbage than the residential, but by volume of garbage being generated, ends up recycling a lot more. One could easily make the mistake in thinking that industrial benefits the most, when it actually benefits the least, but again, because of the higher volume, has the higher cost. The lower the garbage production of the low density residential sees the greater benefit as they accordingly generate even less than before, which means they can go longer between collection without complaining about garbage piling up, and that also means less garbage trucks with less frequent service adding to noise decreases and congestion decreases on those roads, making your cims happier and allowing the trucks to focus more elsewhere, making those places happier. Not exactly something that can be easily expressed by a simple number cost, as I'm sure my explanation is more than confusing enough while not using numbers.

      @BJCMXY 2 роки тому +4

      This makes sense.
      It's all about proportion.
      LDR has a higher proportion of Recycling capacity than the rest, so they receive the greatest benefit, but they proportionally produce the least waste to begin with, so the metrics look weird in comparison to something that produces far greater Quantities of Waste, which by proportion has less that can be recycled, but due to sheer volume, it seems like they're gaining benefit from it on a similar level.
      It's like how cooking works, you add ingredients in by proportion, so when you double a recipe the proportions remain the same.
      However, with the Waste recycling, the proportions vary by the zoning. Which means they're not directly comparable, and are intrinsically different from each other.
      That probably doesn't make much sense either.🤔😂

    I wish the game would just allow you import utilities. As a small municipality, I may not want to or (am able to) invest in my own power station/garbage disposal/water and sewage. My city IRL buys its power from a power company and maintains its own small power grid. I think this would be more ideal for early game, and then late game, it might be more efficient to provide your own services.
    I remember in Sim City 4, I'd have a larger city producing a lot of power and would sell it to the smaller surrounding areas.
    I guess this could just be achieved with a mod. As in, plop down a power plant that's disguised as a substation. Make sure it's really cheap to build but has a higher Maintenace cost than the early game power stations.

Quays also provide a tidy snap point too.

    FYI, you're incorrect about how Heavy Traffic Ban works. It only applies to *through* traffic, and only if that traffic has another route available. In other words, trucks will still enter a district with the policy enabled if their destination is inside that district, or if the only possible route to their destination is through that district. It also doesn't apply to highways at all. Heavy Traffic Ban won't starve your businesses, though.
    As an aside, the No Big Trucks mod is a great tool for dealing with deliveries. Small commercial buildings still often use big semis for deliveries, which can lead to a lot of local congestion as the semis block the road. No Big Trucks allows you to specify that only small delivery vans should be used for deliveries to small buildings. Highly recommend it, for both gameplay and realism reasons.

      I built a large forest industry district in my city next to a residential/commercial district along the side of a highway, and I created separate highway access for the industrial area and banned heavy vehicles through the residential/commercial area, so they would have to use their own access instead of clogging up the other one. But forestry trucks kept driving through the area where they were banned, using it as a short cut. I couldn't figure out for the longest time why they were disobeying me, then I realized that the off ramp they were meant to be using was going in the wrong direction. So, they were driving through the residential area despite the ban because they had no other way to their destination. It all worked fine after I fixed my mistake.

    Regarding "Heavy traffic ban" since I am not seeing any comment about it yet. Large trucks will still be able to go to any store or factory in the district if they need to, but they are not allowed to pass through if their target is beyond it, as long as there is another way to get there.

    9:31 "Heavy traffic ban" - You say it completely blocks trucks in a district. As I read the policy description, it still allows deliveries from/to businesses in the district, just no through-traffic (from outside the district to outside the district). And from someone else I've heard that it only affects the big trucks, not the smaller delivery vehicles. I guess I need to finally get the game myself to try it out.

    • @liesdamnlies3372
      @liesdamnlies3372 2 роки тому

      You’re correct. It only applies to through traffic, and to trucks with trailers.
      General rule is that, regardless of policy, if a vehicle has a destination somewhere then it’s going there.
      You can still nuke things (by accident) of course by forcing heavy traffic to take an extra-long route.
