    What do you want to see from Zoning, and what do you think "Signature Buildings" are?

      Mixed zoning. My dream of buildings that have commercial services on the first floor and residential on upper floors. You seen this in cities across the world.

      Adaptive zoning, the houses adapt to their environment like eg connecting to a neighboring one wall to wall (like in cities), or adapting its shape to the shape of the road or space around it, eg backyards of family homes procedurally connecting with one another (so no ugly space in between)

      They felt large to me. The ones in CS1 are huge compared to the ones you find in my real life city of 400,000. I think the tallest building here is like 20 floors. You only see such huge skyscrapers in cities with lover like a million population.

    Since curved zoning of buildings is an ureasonable/unrealistic idea, I would like to see a smart fill feature, where curved areas between zones get filled with something appropriate to the zone type. Bare map gaps are a little jarring. This could be a toggle since sometimes people might want to fill/decorate themselves, but alley/concrete/outdoor spaces together with props, fences/trees etc auto/smart filling curve gaps would be a neat feature I think.

    If I may give some feedback, i think it might be smarter to make mixed residential and commercial its own tab to allow for different sizes of mixed zoning. In New York there's a bunch of highrise with commercial on the bottom, but here in Europe it usually is only two three floors with the bottom being commercial and above being residential.
    For example in my neighborhood we have a small shopping mall with a bunch of two story apartments placed on top of the mall.

      You had to be super judicious with unique buildings in CS:I unless playing with unlimited money cause for instance most of the DLC skyscrapers cost over 1k/mo each without generating hardly any value. Makes several Content Creator Packs pretty much worthless if you are at all trying to balance a budget.

Please continue to expand on Non-euclidean zoning options, so we can design true mixed-use cities and towns, streetcar suburbs, buildings with retail, commercial, and residential spaces, walkable cities, and small multi-residential developments (duplexes, triplexes, etc.).

      Unfortunately I think we live in a generation when it's much harder, next to impossible, to develop and shape cities. On one hand, building a new city from the ground up is unviable because over so many centuries, the most suitable geographical locations (next to a body of water, good relief, proximity to natural resources etc.) have been picked and built on already, so you can't realistically pick a spot to implement the best urbanistic practices AND have lots of people wanting to move there.
      On the other hand, redeveloping existing infrastructure takes a lot of political will and some disconfort over the years, and the results will be seen far into the future and possibly be suboptimal. Sprawling suburbs with tons of single-family homes are unfixable in terms of car dependency, and new neighbourhoods built with streets that are not wide enough for public transportation and no space left for parks and amenities (there are many of those in my country) are also unfixable.

    When I first heard about cities skylines 2, I was worried it would just be the first game with some UI changes and better graphics with a few of the dlcs from the first game. But man, I couldn't have been more wrong! If everything plays as it does in these videos, this is going to be an amazing sequel. Not to mention, slowly releasing these videos about different aspects of the game is ingenious, i mean, what a great way to build hype! Cant wait to get my hands on this game and props to the devs for the great work they're doing! I still can't believe there's parking lots now!

      They are not reinventing the wheel, they are taking what worked in the first and expanding upon it with 8 years of user feedback, mods, and experience gained (plus money to develop) by the devs. This is exactly what I want from this game, to take a game I loved and just make it better.

    • @commandercody3519
      @commandercody3519 Рік тому

      @Swarm509 i think you misunderstood what im saying. Initially, i thought they were going to add barely any new features and really only change the ui and integrate a few of the cities skylines 1 mods to make it feel new/different when in fact its the exact same game with a different paint job. Instead though, after watching videos, reading, and becoming more informed, i came to realize that was not the case. Instead, they're expanding on what worked in cities skylines 1 and changing what didn't to create a new product that still feels like cities skylines.

    The architecture seen in the previous trailers is a step up from Cities Skylines 1 but i am concern about the low density models still looking unrealistic/cartoony Simcity 5 had trailer homes and strip malls for low levels then early to mid century architecture styles to modern glass. I do hope to see better assets used in this update also lacking 60-90 degree buildings is another worry i have plus copy paste assets seem to be vary common i would like to see more diversity when it comes to low to mid level assets. Also being able to see cranes build skyscrapers would be a really cool feature seen in the CGI trailers
    I do hope land values are more realistic, image ignoring a area for so long garbage starts to pile up and buildings and roads start to decay with higher chance of crime and house fires happening more frequently in low income areas. I just wanna build a ghetto if ima be honest.

    VERY NICE to see the differences in residential zones and mixed zoning.
    Nice to see the more odd shaped industrial zones for farms etc, really fills things up right up to streets, no more just blocks and having to fill it up with fake stuff.
