I would appreciate a Like 👍 if you enjoyed the video, and suggestions for new additiona to Riverview! 😊 This video was made available as Early-Access to Patrons at www.patreon.com/infrastructurist Hope you're all having a great week 🥰 Infrastructurist
Name suggestion for the Junction/Interchange: Spaghetti Junction - Back story; this is a crazy junction set in the city of Birmingham UK, It became famous for its unique, pasta-like appearance.
That crazy round about on/off ramp thing reminded me of an octopus or a Kraken. Also you definitely need to add some high schools for both sides of the river.
Not gonna lie, but you should like to add a pit stop or gas station on the new highway... 'cause of people goin' in or out of the City of Riverview. For example, getting snacks or food on the road, going to the toilet and finally getting gas (GAS!!!) Thank U.
so glad i got to catch this video when it came out, the roundabout interchange at 16:46 is one connection away from being something you could call an octopus interchange, but septapus interchange would more accurately describe it in its current state
I love this city set up. It reminds me a lot of the city im from Peoria, IL and East Peoria across the river. Theres even a man made island right next to a bridge but it sadly does not have a ferris wheel.
Agreed. I adore when European Cities Skylines UA-camrs just lean into the weirdest American car centric infrastructure and make it kind of beautiful. This city is shaping up so nicely.
I've seen many cs youtubers, but you sir, have the nicest road layouting skills so far. No other cs2 city is that beautiful in the manner of style. You should do a master class with teaching all the city planning principles.
@@frondibale CityPlannerPlays too, but whats the point here ^^. There are a few cool guys out there. But this fella here builds the sweetest cities of all youtubkind so far.
I would love to see some more actual bridges. There’s a lot of instances where roads or highways cross the river, but they’re all just plain roads. It would be cool to see them built up and fortified a little bit more, just to fit aesthetics.
A lot of water crossings in north America are just causeways like he built, unless it's going over a major water source like the Ohio, Mississippi, the Hudson, etc. It's just cheaper.
@@joew974 yeah it's weird like over the river in my city they build just a straight bridge and then a cable stay suspension bridge just down the way so I guess it's just for looks
Loving the expansion to chestnut and that you kept the woods 🤩 Can't wait to see what you're gonna do with the third highway. Looks like a nice stop for a small touristic village between the mountains and a gas station for a quick pitstop.
im late, but i believe he hates adding city services 😂😂😂 like fuk me, not having a police headquarters when he gets -6 happiness from high crime is a wierd decision
CS1: "oh god, I hope I've build this small and efficient enough" CS2: *"B U I L D I T B I G"* Also, i've spot that north of the new highway there is some place on top of the mountain, how about a small sky resort/village there?
The squidersection is magnificent, and you should be proud! Also, I love the idea that a major developer came into the area and wanted to make a mark, so worked with the city administration and the DOT to include paving the new waterfront highway in exchange for significant tax breaks and possibly even federal grants. Poor little sleepy Autumn Mills never saw it coming. It is especially perfect as one of the new sections of the highway is called Spring Highway!
It would be cool to see some data from the different map modes this game has just to see how your city is doing. Especially tourism would be fun to look at since Love Island probably attracts a ton of them. Oh yes also, did you ever actually make a train connection in and out of the city? I remember you not doing it when the train station got built and I was thinking wheter the tourists are actually coming by train
IMHO this is the best cs2 creator out there, beautiful city, skillfully played, and the music choices my dude its just relaxing and inspiring to see you create
16:58 Oak-Topus View would be what I’d call it looks like a bunch to tentacles although there’s only 7 connections😂 plus there’s a bunch of Oaks close by
I very much like your way of developing/extending/densifying the city and surrounding towns! I think you should consinder extending the tramway line of East Riverview at least to Sterling (and maybe to Barlow Ridge) as to provide public transport to people working there (Stadtbahn/light rail maybe). Keep up the good work and looking forward to watching the next episode!
A lot of people have been comparing your custom interchange to an octopus, but i actually thing is most resembles a plasma ball (You know those electric balls that would follow your fingers with bolts of electricity). So I think you should call it "Plasma Junction" or something like that.
A beautiful build, Mr. Mayor. One thing that seems to be missing from your suburbs or satellite settlements is proper public transportation links. Given the size of Chestnut and East Riverview, both towns should be connected to Downtown Riverview/Civic Center by suburban rail (as a stop connecting to the outskirts of the map as well). Please consider doing so.
I absolutely love your build technique! I have to watch your speed build in half speed to watch your interchange building which I love! Hi from Sydney Aust!
Wonderfully unique, fantastically designed and ultimately beutiful creation with an insane level of attention to detail, well done, I love it! 16:50 I think 'The Medusa' roundabout would be appropriate! 🐍
Highways are to connect different states and cities.... Highways are not made in between of the residential areas... It's build between agricultural fields or from forests means away from towns..... And street roads are build to connect with with highways through interchange.... 🇮🇳
I really love your videos. You are now my favourite CS2 UA-camr and I’ve learned SO much! I am completely new to the Cities franchise and your videos helped me learn to create big beautiful cities! It’s been so much fun! Keep up the awesome work. I’m loving Riverview!
Oh man that one single family house right under the bridge between the highschool and East Riverview… 😂 Love the new progress, totaly agree with the other commets idea of a highway gas station, looking forward to the next episode 🙏🏻
Saw this video on my UA-cam recommendations and couldn't help watching it. I soon had a idea you could work on at the tunnels at 6:40 on the video. You could build some kind of toll checkpoint or shopping stop area next to the tunnel entrances for example to make it look more interesting. It would probably require some terraforming but it would also allow a bit more realistic tunnel entrances (not as stretched out) than what they currently are.
hmm, due to the lightening, I guess, that it is somewhat around noon. So while the map is in the northern hemisphere, the sun is in the south, that means, according to the shadows, that East Riverview is in the south, not in the East ;)
now that we upgraded the Roads Public transports should be next. to simulate the change from car centric city design to more public transport oriented transport.
Please do some railroad bridges near the downtown/riverfront area where they cross the street. It would look pretty cool (like the Elevated Train) and also help with traffic so it doesn’t come to a complete standstill getting in and out of that area and waiting for the lights to change.
Not elevated but tunneled. Elevated railroads aren't built anymore because of crime rate and loss of land value. I think here we should see what modern cities are doing, which is turning old railways into long parks, specially when they go along rivers.
Never played this game nor will I but I love watching you and others create art within this game, I find it very relaxing while trying to sleep watching your videos.
This city is frickin amazing. I wish i could make cities like this. My cities starts of awesome but quickly just turn into a big mess with roads all over the place and no place to put buildings.
Not only do you build fantastic cities, you also have great taste in music! Love watching the speed build sections and cinimatics for both the visual and audio.
That weird junction should be called the Kraken Junction. I agree the road tools are hands down such a joy to use. Love your content it’s a joy to watch ❤👍👍👍👍
Hey there! Absolutely loving the series so far, but wanted to mention that the new highway seems to be a little too steep near the outside connection. In the US, the maximum allowed grade is usually 6%, and even then, it takes commercial trucks quite a while to make their way down.
I'm new to cs but am 100% confident in saying this guy is my favorite UA-camr for cs. He doesn't mess around with doing stupid crap (you know what i mean) and makes realistic/ functioning cities, love it! keep up the work.
Just gotta say, really loving this series and have become a subscriber because of this city. The attention to detail is excellent but not overwhelming. It's been enjoyable to see a new Riverview video, then play the game afterwards to use the techniques I just observed.
I reckon this is a more niche comment but I just wanted to say, I love the choice of music for your timelapse segments! Excellent videos, please keep them coming! (Particularly the track at 21:50)
that roudabout on and off ramp interchange should just be called "anxiety attack" cuz that's what would happen to me if I ever encountered something like that haha. love the videos. your builds are always so unique and realistic :)
the new highway is a great addition, the roads are starting to look nice and messy and natural just like a real city would as it had been constantly rebuilt and redesigned over the years, really coming together nicely perhpas you could extend your highway through the city centre and clear away historic neighborhoods, americans love putting highways through their downtowns. so far i think this is the best series going on youtube to showcase the game, i can't really afford the game right now so i'm sticking with you to see all it can do, keep going.
Please make a "walk-through" video where you get attached and drive, through the entire city from the front of a car, bus or train line. It will be very interesting to look at the city from this perspective.
Your play style is almost exactly how I would like to play the game. It gives me hope that this game can be salvaged at some point. Maybe by then I can get it for cheap.
This episode was a road network building masterclass! Also, absolutely love the super realistic American politician decisions you make, such as the one at 29:29.
Have followed your skylines creations for a long time. But I must say i really love this city! Those messy intersections looked really good. :) Very life like.
As a Dutch truckdriver myself, my opinon is that those interchanges are tight 😅. Like to see how you make it looks so easy to build. Bet it has some hours behind it. Like someone already suggested, maybe a highway truckstop with gas station. Love your work, keep it up
Every single weird interchange you made literally exists in the Metro Vancouver area, including the 6 entrance round about highway on/off ramp but it's in a different lay out
I would appreciate a Like 👍 if you enjoyed the video, and suggestions for new additiona to Riverview! 😊

the valley where you did the freeway, where the two small rivers become one, would be a suitable place for another smaller town
17:00 the jellyfish interchange
Will you add the map for download when you finish it? Could be good for get some ideas in our own cities. Your style is amazing !!
Can you add the save file for this on your patreon? It looks so good 🥲

Squid interchange
i had exactly the same thought, it looks like a kraken
I thought I was just hungry, but I saw an octopus 😂 the Kraken sounds more exaggerated, so it fits better the American theme
I was gonna say the same thing: KRAKEN! :D
Squid-terchange!
Infra: Builds beautiful highway system with a cute, compact cloverleaf interchange.
Also Infra: 16:51. Uh...uhm... [Insert confused blinking gif] 😂
It's look like 3D view of Google maps, that was incredible, i love your city
Not gonna lie, but you should like to add a pit stop or gas station on the new highway... 'cause of people goin' in or out of the City of Riverview. For example, getting snacks or food on the road, going to the toilet and finally getting gas (GAS!!!) Thank U.
Its not gas. Gas is for example carbon dioxide. Its called petrol or diesel
@@botdestroyerpw I know, but I'm just saying that as a meme.
@@botdestroyerpwgas is also just short for gasoline which is why Americans call it that
@@botdestroyerpwgas is a liquid
@@botdestroyerpw as an american, we call it gas
so glad i got to catch this video when it came out, the roundabout interchange at 16:46 is one connection away from being something you could call an octopus interchange, but septapus interchange would more accurately describe it in its current state
More like a Medusa interchange. If I saw that interchange IRL I would turn to asphalt
One of the lanes is a double lane, so it is definitely a some kind of octopus...
I love this city set up. It reminds me a lot of the city im from Peoria, IL and East Peoria across the river. Theres even a man made island right next to a bridge but it sadly does not have a ferris wheel.
If he doesn't put in Metamora, it won't matter!
Agreed. I adore when European Cities Skylines UA-camrs just lean into the weirdest American car centric infrastructure and make it kind of beautiful. This city is shaping up so nicely.
ive drove through peoria a few times and hated it
Interesting I’m in Bloomington, IL
I am in Decatur IL
This city is easily my favorite in Cities 2 so far, loving each installment of this series

It's just cheaper.
@@joew974 yeah it's weird like over the river in my city they build just a straight bridge and then a cable stay suspension bridge just down the way so I guess it's just for looks
You should add a Metro system with how big the city is getting
Woah woah watch it pal, this is America after all. Can’t be letting those commies spend my hard earned tax dollars on 🤢 public transit.
I hate underground metro. wow you just build below everything, how exciting!
@@tajothy2692 the tube system is very effective in london, and the stations look nice
@@tajothy2692 mmmmk.
Notice how no one ever complains bout traffic in Tokyo. Almost like rail does wonders! @@randomwaffler
The trees you planted at the start of the map was a great idea, it makes the whole map look really full and busy even in empty areas.
I love how CS2 enables you to grow cities in a more organic way over time... if everything works right.
This city is a perfect example of that.
Loving the expansion to chestnut and that you kept the woods 🤩
Can't wait to see what you're gonna do with the third highway. Looks like a nice stop for a small touristic village between the mountains and a gas station for a quick pitstop.
You need to add the bigger services buildings like hospital and police headquarters as it seems there is quality metric not just coverage
agreed, kinda looks weird too having just a couple clinics for a city of 40-50k people lol
@@barretoxiaroleplay2099it's hella expensive to have it
It’s somewhat situational but the hospital is more cost efficient at large scale, I think the cost per patient is lower@@CrossriderBankai23

17:00 highway kraken!

Some of the best music I've ever heard on a Cities Skylines video. Love the attention to detail you convey. Excellent work! Keep it up!
16:52 I suggest name that interchange as (Octo Interchange) , cause that looks like an octopus 🐙

Ah man u have perfect timing with videos last Time i had supper and now i Just came back to home
Your last video was the 1st video i had seen of yours, and it immediately got me hooked. Subscribed right away
Cannot say enough how nice the cities on youtube look. And they actually function. Well done my friend.
This is why you are my favorite cities builder. We spoke about our destain for love islands shape and YOU LISTENED. You are truly the best!!!

your videos are soo nice, I didn't even had the sense of time during those timelapses. just make a playlist out of it and a day would become an hour
16:58 'the medusa interchange' 😭😭😂😂❤️
Just gotta say, really loving this series and have become a subscriber because of this city. The attention to detail is excellent but not overwhelming. It's been enjoyable to see a new Riverview video, then play the game afterwards to use the techniques I just observed.
That one intersection you made looks like a b-hole with parasitic worms coming out of it. You should name it: The Tapeworm
Building roads/Interchanges is my favorite part of the game lol! Love this series.
Best cities skylines UA-camr 🔥
I reckon this is a more niche comment but I just wanted to say, I love the choice of music for your timelapse segments! Excellent videos, please keep them coming! (Particularly the track at 21:50)
Furthermore. Does anyone know what the track at 33:25 is? Shazam can’t find it…
Easily my favorite YT city I'm following. Thanks for your uploads!
If I may, 'Riverview' feels like a stock name for such a diverse and complex city.
Name that odd Interchange: Octopus Interchange ❤😂
u are legit my favourite youtuber
This city is awesome! Building and managing a big city is challenging enough - never mind making it look this good!

Like someone already suggested, maybe a highway truckstop with gas station.
Love your work, keep it up
Wonderfully relaxing to watch you build this beautiful city!❤
Octopus Interchange seems fitting, not because of the number of roads, but because of its hectic and squiggly appearance- like octopi
My thought exactly 😅
Loving the series! Every video i'm curious about seeing how the city grows! greetings from italy!
Omg it just makes my day when you post, thank you so much for everything you do I absolutely love watching your videos❤
I'm loving how you acknowledge how pretty things are looking and then decide is not realistic and. therefore, must be changed 🤣🤣
16:51 you should name it The Cthulhu Interchange, because it looks like an octopus monster 😂
16:58 The octopus! 😁 it somehow reminds me of one
"War of the world roundabout"
So nice!
Favourite series on UA-cam rn, really looking forward to next ep!! ❤
16:58 intersection:
"Half butterfly"?
"The bee"?
"Mouse ears"?
😂
Honestly this guys videos are so long but somehow I can watch the whole of them because it is too entertaining. Top tier Cities Skylines UA-camr!
Every single weird interchange you made literally exists in the Metro Vancouver area, including the 6 entrance round about highway on/off ramp but it's in a different lay out
16:55 - Octopus Junction, Squid Junction or in the spirit of Spaghetti Junction in Birmingham, UK, Tagliatelle Junction
Its fun watching the percentages slowly shift in the subscriber/viewer stats as you continue your reminder-campaign!
16:59 “Octopus Interchange” - the roundabout looks like the head and the on/off ramps look like tentacles 😂
Really like your content :D, cannot wait for next video
Your road building skill is mind-blowing!!
17:00 that's the medusa interchange
Man this game is amazing, they did a great job with it. And your city looks fantastic. Mine is a complete mess right now.
