      ​@@CitiesSkylines Im not sure where to ask you this but, will you ever make a even better cities skylines, maybe a sequel, more pricey but has better simulation and bigger maps for a more epic gamer experience? And I think it'll sell well considering everyone currently uses mods for traffic and stuff, they wont have to if its included in the game, but keep the steam workshop cuz its probably the best thing that happenned to the game, sharable assets is a necessity for it to be successful this'll be the ultimate cities skylines. Plus youtube would be booming with videos of it. Anyway, i was just wondering if you were thinking about it. Cuz i would personally buy 10 copies. :) I think we can wait couple of years before you make this cuz right now, dlc are enough in my opinion but still
      btw sorry for my bad english, im french

      Marking buildings historical is more tedious, but allows for the building to reach level 5, don’t need a separate district, and allows for more control. That’s why I do that instead

    it just occurred to me that the water is currently a place that is really underutilized in games. We have some power buildings that can be placed on water and stuff for the coast line, such as some parks, mining vessels etc but not much actual on water development.
    I'd kinda like to see the following
    Piers: basically pathways to draw on the water, except with specialized zoning allowing us to low density zone or place other stuff.
    Pier shops: piers like Pier 39 from San Fransisco have a lot of shops and stuff on them, it'd be nice to place these shops on the piers, or at least give them low density commercial.
    Houseboats: like the shops but for low density housing.
    Fishing: both industries style and zoneable industry for piers.
    Jetties: Allow civilian boats to populate the water ways (possibly add a sort of 'water highway' for them to use)

    • @TheFingerman77
      @TheFingerman77 5 років тому +4

      The After Dark DLC has several water assets as part of its leisure and tourism focus! From piers and little marinas, to fishing and coffee shop platforms that sit detatched slightly offshore, they can be really pretty used with ferries from the mass transit DLC (which adds ferry stops and water highways that ferries use as you say).
      I like the idea for a zonable fishing industry, though, giving the player a lot more tools for custom marinas and things would be fun.

    I always just put high rise ban on the entire city, then deselect it in the areas where I want taller buildings. I also like to scatter offices though, typically at intersections of major roads or along highways, because offices don't look that dense unless they are high rise.

    3:11 How do you go into that zoning view with no buildings? I am colorblind and I struggle a lot because in my game the zoning view doesn’t remove the buildings, only makes them a bit transparent and I struggle to separate low from high density because the colors are too similar

    I think downtown should connect directly to the highway because when the population reached more than 100.000, a lot of transportation, commercial and big service buildings cars need to connect other part of the city easily.
