About the Project:
Join me as we create a map rich with natural beauties, distant towns and a bustling metropolis. The aim is to create an island that feels as big as a state or territory, including vast biomes, mountains, rivers and an endless coastline. Set in Australia and New Zealand (maybe an island in between), this map takes inspiration from open world video games and the way in which the game devs create such immersive environments, such as GTA 4 and 5, Red Dead Redemption 2 and the Mafia 4 maps. To take it one step further, every thing on the map should feel unique and distinct. No city district, town or mountain should feel or look the same.

There is nothing better on UA-cam than watching Oceania on a Saturday. Absolutely loving this series!
Neighborhood idea: recently redeveloped technology/ office cluster. Mix of modern glass and pre-war brick buildings. Pairs well with hipsterville.
Gentrification nearby
Replace that junction in the powerlines with a substation. In real life you'd want a substation there to allow you to switch off each run of wire separately to allow maintenance, and the switching usually occurs in a substation.
34:37 , Personally, that stairs with green roof looks a bit weird, maybe just drag an invisable path and let it come out that little cottage house on the platform.
I'm going to sound like a complete nerd here but if the Train to Paterson is a commuter train it should be a Vline Vlocity, Or a NSW K-set, H-Set or a D-set. XPTs are apart of the NSW long distance trains and aren't used for the intercity commuter services such as Newcastle-Sydney, Wollongong-Sydney and Bathurst-sydney. Also your running a H set (OSCAR) on a suburban line, H sets haven't been transferred to suburban services yet.
Anyways I still loved the video :)
You do sound like a nerd, but its great to you're so passionate about trains, and want to share it with the world!
A few other points to consider,
- K sets: Transferred to suburban, wouldn’t make too much sense on that branch.
- H sets: Do operate some peak suburban services on the T1, so do make sense on that run.
- Bathurst to Sydney are Endeavour run, those would probably make more sense on that branch being small diesels (exists on the workshop too)
Those NZ train stations from Alitargz are such fantastic work, really captures the NZ vibe. Also, love the little cut scenes!
Wow. Incredible job, trains really do add a lot to Dundee. And those cinematics at the end really capture how sprawling Dundee has become, with the skyline behind green suburbs. It definitely feels like enough distance for trains to make sense :D
I was out driving out of the town and my little sister pointed out the telephone antennas in the field. Normal you won't notice how many telephone antennas are in your town or outside the town until you start looking for them. Oceania certainly need a bunch of them in the CBD and in the field.
The train stations themselves look really good, though I'm of the opinion that a lot of them are too close together even considering that this is a scaled down city. It feels like these train lines are doing a job meant for a subway or light rail, instead of journeying to the far corners of the map, between distant towns.
For me it's pretty realistic, my local commuter railway (leman express, France-Suisse) stop in every station it go trough
@@n.o6889 yes but could you easily walk between each station, and are the trains running on the commuter rail intercity style trains?
@@1894db yes, the same model run in Paris, and with a bit off motivation you can the closest are like 5km appart
@@1894db That’s Sydney for you, the trains work in a metro fashion with about the same small spacing (20min walks generally) and double decks to maximise seating capacity (typically associated with intercity services elsewhere)
@@n.o6889 5km apart is reasonable, the train stations in this episode are far closer
"...There's nothing really out here save industry. No commercial or re-" blah blah
That sounds exactly like a hipster place to me. Perfect for converted industrial buildings to lofts and a small sidestreet filled with gentrified cafe's and art galleries.
Alright 2 dollars, I have new respect for you Cities Skylines legends. Started editing my own Cities Skylines series. Its bloody hardwork! Spending hours of time on it trying to get my style right. Hopefully itll see the light of day soon! Way more time consuming than I thought it would be!
I genuinely have no idea how you do this. It looks so good! Loved the longer content too. Great work!
Where that big rail junciton is with all that empty space you should put a railyard to store the trains while not in use and service them.
I enjoyed this episode and it is really awesome to see trains running in Dundee, especially the trains that run in Sydney. As a train nerd, I would like to elaborate on a few terms and things about railways.
1. At 29:38 the "intersection" for railways are called switches. For a more collective term for these switches would be called Junctions. If the track goes from 1 track to another parallel track would be called crossovers.
2. The catenaries are part of equipment called overhead line equipment or OHLE for short. These types of equipment are used as a power source for electric trains such as the double-deck trains running in Sydney. The wires are the main source of the power and the catenaries are used to support them from above. Without the power source, the electric trains would not be able to run. You would place the catenaries on where the track switches and where it curves. The distance between each catenary would differ in some places. Straight tracks would usually have catenaries that are more distant whilst curved tracks would have catenaries closer together.
I enjoyed this episode and I would love to see more episodes that are oriented around trains.
A skatepark under the viaduct would be cool! Like an industrial looking community park that you wouldn’t necessarily want to go to after dark.
Gotta love a good old Tangara running
this is probarly my favorite episode because I love trains
When I saw the Chester Hills shopping district it evoked some sort of nostalgia in me.
When you said it was 70's UK I was like "ah, it reminds me of the clonetown" xD
What if you added abandoned platforms on the y junction like back in the day it was a station. The station was closed in the 60s as cars and aircraft took over, and then they opened the new station you built when they opened up the commuter network
You can do a platform on each leg. There station was built when Dundee was much smaller and there was a through platform that skipped the leg into town and one on the other ones as a stop for trains going both ways out of the city.
I think the new neighbourhood should include some old or prehistoric houses and maybe a mix of some newer houses. And by the way I’m loving this series, and I hope it will exist for a long time.
Hey paekakariki station looks legit! I drive trains through there every other day
this, this is what i’ve been waiting for in the series
I think Hipstervile should be named after the hubs in Australia for the hipster movement: Fitzroy (MLB) and Newtown (SYD)…
Newfitz?
Fitztown?
Newroy?
Newtroy?
Enmore was a hun too. Along with West End in Brisbane. Something could be found in there I’m sure.
Also, with the viaduct station, look at Maitland West train station. For small town styling, look at Taree, Wauchope, and Kempsey in NSW. Need to get some of those station signs in too.
For a good light rail end/start hub that joins with traditional rail, Helensvale in QLD. Parkwood east station has a cool road intersection with a modern passenger crossing. And the Queensland Griffiths University Hospital has an underground LR station which is really good.
PS. You’re missing a fundamental/quintessential Aussie place - an RSL and bowls club.
Here's a tip for catenaries. You can turn the track into a one way track, right click on it to reverse the direction, and change it back to a 2 way track and the catenaries will be the opposite way. Super easy, I use it a lot if I have an asymetrical catenary like that
For the industrial area station how about some old pubs and cheap shops with lots of brick?, maybe some old flats too.
I think a train depot will be perfect for this 2 lines et this long line who travels Ocenia ! If there is a problem for trains in Ocenia, they can go to the train depot ! ;)
you like trains because it improves the efficiency and eco-friendliness of the city. i like them because chugga chugga choo choo. we are not the same.
You created Montague Street bridge, fantastic
adding some newer transit oriented development around the train stations could be cool. that or some really ugly parking structures
This video should be in the playlist
You always pick the chillest background music
Love how much the city is expanding!
The intro was really amazing ngl.
I think a race track would be super cool next to the lake like the one in Melbourne. Only problem I see is that it's a street circuit. Maybe an f1 track like Melbourne Park. Also, love the vids 💯💯🔥🔥
Hi Sam, I'm a train driver working in Wellington, New Zealand. That station placed in your suburb of Ngāmotu is a very accurate representation of the Paekakariki train station but it only includes the main lines. In reality, there are several extra sidings next to the down main. So what you created is not accurate to the station in real life, but at the same time it was accurate to suggest that the station involved more than what the base prop included. Ngāmotu is the Māori name for my hometown of New Plymouth but is several hours drive away from the Wellington region and therefore from that Paekakariki station you placed. That doesn't matter overall obviously, but it makes me wonder if Dirty H is from the same small rural town as me which would be really wild!
I literally lost my mind when you showed ngamotu I was just at that port yesterday
Paritutu looks awesome
You and your cities are always absolutely legendary!
Need to make a new dlc for only trains. I want to set up a yard with new prefab points, build a depot and set up a train company, plant my passenger rail hq downtown, set up my passenger rail, have stations that snap to tracks and not roads to make awesome multiplatform stations, and also get expanded suburban rail options as well. I just wish trains were better in this game as a giant train nerd.
This is coming along very nicely!
for the intersection.. a park on the area of an old industrial zone could be verry nice.
i'm thinking a lot of 'park spoor noord' in Antwerp with this, it's an old industrial railyard that got turned in to a verry nice and open modern park area
"It's not very nice here ... it has a Centrelink ... there's an old Coles, and a pub on the corner." hahaha... hahaha.... wow, you just described Grafton to a T.
I shouldn't laugh, but damn if that doesn't sum up most country towns with horrible unemployment (hello Grafton), I don't know what does.
By the train viaduct you should have a power substation if you can fit it in.
Build looks smashing otherwise, love uour ability to build little towns, all mine get so unnecessarily large.
I think you should name some places after famous Australian TV shows...Home and Away, Neighbours, Blue Heelers...Housos 😆
I’ve been loving this series. I have a suggestion when for you. Can you make a Northeast style USA City since Marble Mountain was a west coast style city and Springwood was more of a Midwest Chicago esc city
Hello two dollars twenty, while watching the powerlines along the train line I thought of a good episode,
Water and Power infrastructure and maybe build a big water plant and electrical plant and if possible maybe combine then in the same area!
I'm just in love with this episode hahahhaha sooo good
32:25 what about making the centrepiece of the neighbourhood a local government building like a courthouse or a small town hall, next to an old church?
so glad i found this channel. amazing
One of the station assests you were using is the station from where I live lol
I love trains and I love Oceania 100x times better even more
Dont worry about length, 30min is fine. I just watched a Yumble video that was 1.5 hours, soooo yeah. its fine.
What made you name that suburb Chester Hill (cka Cheso)? I rarely meet people in Sydney who know the suburb unless they've lived / worked there. Besides, I think with the proximity of the station to that massive cemetery it should be called Lidcombe, and then you can call that cemetery Rookwood Necropolis (which is the biggest in the Southern Hemisphere).
17:06 go to Oatley station it has a bridge that you walk up through to get to the station
Just download Skylines on Xbox. I'm now hooked on these videos haha
i have an idea for a neighborhood what about a old brick neighborhood that was for workers in 1910
An office park would work for the viaduct area.
do a street circuit like albert park or bathurst btw great job so far
Be cool if you do an NZ town with a Marae nearby. Would be appropriate.
a-mazing-again!
If you want the powerlines to share the same node you can start building them from the node you want them to share. Start from the end
The second to last train station has too much parking tbh. Like its a place with buses, trams and trains. That place should be more compact. That is just fueling the car centric culture.
The NOT hipsterville could use a BREWERY. Make a Beer Town.
I haven't even watched the video and I left a like :D
man I love this channel
The intercity train unselectability has been messed up since a patch or two ago.
Beautiful.
Can i have a suggestion?
My suggestion: is a airport build a airport plsssss
since the airport dlc, the "allow intercity trains" button is broken. you need a mod to fix it.
You didn't say which mod you added to fix the station stuff, so which mod please??
there might be some "pack" that includes mods, assets, and bug fixes plus interface optimised, directly provided by game devs. cause i'm lost in my own game. the quantity of items don't fits the original interface, assets are messed up in no logical order. and search tool is probably another mod that i haven't downloaded yet. actualy i own the same game and i can't manage to have the same interface and button as you. doesn't seems very "fair" to me. i hope CS 2 is coming to make things a bit better.
Electrical grid. Electrical pylon.
You could have made custom train stations
Hi...may i know what kind of mod u're using that your city looks so realistic?
bro country link trains are sooo slow it takes 9 hours to get from coffs to sydney but 6 hours by car
This episode isn’t on the playlist
9:05 did. Themenkreis poop on the road? xD
I want to download the map+ gameplay. How do I get it.
I am also interested, but I don't whether it's playable without all the mods
is marble mountain finished?
what "overpass" asset you used in the first 10 mins???
The inability to disable intercity trains is a bug with the latest patch, need to download a mod to fix it.
Didn’t catch what mod you need, do you have a link?
LES GO
If you want your railways to look even more realistic in the future, can I recommend this series, which teaches some of the concepts that go behind irl railway design: ua-cam.com/play/PLlPJmKp10F4pizszCddOOGa-BJ-GdVWnZ.html
How Turn off the Intercity Trains? a have no mods installed and still cant turn it off
its a bug since the last dlc. you need a mod to fix it
@@Marcel_tov So sad, I find the mod but its sad for vanilla players
4:11 which mod did u download?
Can I have name of those stairs assets?
What mod did you download to disable the intercity on the train station?
AllowIntercityTrains v1.1
@@sleepy2488 thank you 😊
no meth lab? :(
22:34
8:00
horrible
A switching yard could be neat!
Happy Easter everyone!
Those NZ train stations from Alitargz are such fantastic work, really captures the NZ vibe. Also, love the little cut scenes!
