  • Cities Skylines 2 is here! I'm starting off a brand new city with a humble beginning. In this Let's Play I'll be guiding you through some of the best tips and tricks for building, but also for enjoying the game and progressing through it at a brisk pace. From small suburban developments to large industrial complexes, this series will explore everything the game has to offer!

    Pity the moose doesn't actually interfere with cars. Imagine trying to figure out your traffic problem and zooming in on a problem intersection just to find a moose hanging out blocking the road.

    I believe you can double click on a road to create a node when doing instead of having to delete the road and put it back in.

    This is my favorite CS2 series by fr, you're just so chill. Hope this series is gonna last several months at least. When Paradox mods open so much exciting things can be done, and on release date there will be 8 theme pacs for free to download there.

    Yeyyy, a new series. I've watched some videos of other content creators and even though they know a game better they always rush it. I like how you take it slow, think it through and make it realistic. It's been fun to watch.
    Like the idea of renaming people and following their lives.

    It is worth mentioning that you misread/misspoke about leveling up residential buildings. Their upkeep increases.
    The truck carrying rock at 1:09:10 cane from the smaller highway off map and went to the major highway. Building your city here just connected the two highways, so you may see a lot of that. (to quote a popular GPS App "We found a faster route")

    I think it would be interesting if you used your expansion points to already make a 2nd city. It would be cool to see how you managed 2 cities growing at the same time and how they could interact with each other. Loved your City Skylines Play through. Will watch this one to end as well.

    I’d love to see the city be built to be less car-dependent. I feel like many people (including me) allow their cities to be more car-centric, I think it would be cool to see a well run city that utilizes more public transportation and actually prioritizes public transport over cars. Great video!!

Today I learned that you can make them drive on the sensible side of the road, this will make it much easier to design my A roads and hopefully less congestion with outgoing lorries :D
