  • We're checking out Cities Skylines 2 (City Skyline 2) today, and what better way to do it than to build a city that is completely isolated from the outside world and fully self sufficient! Is it possible?

    Idea for a challenge:
    1. Start new game (unlocked everything)
    2. Pause
    3. Build a whole city in one go
    4. Unpause and never build again
    Just to see how well you can balance out the city outright and if you won't forget anything important ;)

    Tip for Matt: The reasoning behind why industrial did not fill in around the landfill what not because of the landfill. It was because it takes 12-20 months to graduate from a university not to mention the previous education steps to enable university education. In addition to this, (I have said this before and I'll say it again) there is a job overlay you can check. More people equals less jobs available, less residential and higher industrial demand due to unemployment. This works inversely as well. ! Hope it helps and thanks for the video! ;)
