Given that you plan on building the international airport so close to the downtown, it is extremely important to factor in where the runways will be pointing and adjusting the heights of the buildings accordingly.
Strong point! I'm thinking we may add some terraformed 'runway piers' to the island :)
@@OVERCHARGEDEGG japan has alot of those types of airports! Maybe you can look at them for inspiration
Hong kong use to have an airport where you would fly in just skimming to rooftops of the highrise flats there
@@skinniestfatman5641 Yeah Kai Tak
All depends on the flight paths, I guess. As long as the planes aren't clipping the skyscrapers, anything goes! Plenty of real world examples of crazy airports.
I'm officially part of the build! Thanks Mr.Egg! Always a pleasure interacting with you and the community!
Learning how to make networks and build downtown is a gift!
Thanks for the support mate!
You know you are doing it right when the up close views from within the downtown are as rewarding as the distant views of the skyline. You have created so many neat little spots to see and enjoy.
I like how different this skyline is so different from the other OE downtowns. It's very spread out and open and I think that's a really nice approach. Amazing work.
I feel so lucky to get another video so soon! Thank you Egg. I would suggest extending the downtown tram network into the new residential and commercial area, as they are quite high demand areas but sit between the metros and so dont rly have mass transit.
Hello Egg,
at first I want wo mention that this is my first comment ever (+ - 20 years online) and probably the last.
I enjoy ur series so much I can't really tell. I tried to rebuilt Orchid Bay (in my way) twice but was never even close to the satisfaction ur videos have for me. Ur way of building, ur patience, game sense, creativity and even ur calm voice and humor are unmatched on YT in my opinion.
Thanks a lot and keep on going.
Thank you Happy! And thanks for leaving me your first ever comment 😌
I'm glad you're enjoying the videos, thanks for watching them ❤️
The "well hello people" is always the highlight of my day, it's like a guarantee for about an hour of peaceful entertainment ❤
Awesome views and layers already, love the green space at the stadium/shopping district, perhaps could do with a couple of cafés/fast food stands/thunderboxes around the edges.
By the by what happened with the small industry zone? Did they not grow in the tourism spec or you just simply didn't like what came in?
Excited for part 2 😊
Thak you Star! Good shout on the bars!
And yes haha, was horrible. A swift no thank you!
On the edge of my seat for the next part! Omg it's going to look soooo good if it's anything more than today's episode!
Phenomenal start! Many cities have weekly or monthly events called Live after Five or First Friday, where the public can come gather after work, bring their lawn chairs/camp chairs, check out art from various artisans, enjoy some cocktails and food from vendors, while listening to live Jazz, Hip Hop, or other types of live entertainment. Would you consider having the greenspace near the stadium and transit being used as sort of a pavilion where public events and open concerts could take place?
Could also be used for Tailgating and Pre-gaming events,
since it's so close to the Stadium.
And so it begins...downtown spice! Lovely layers here, very excited to see what comes next!
Such a beautiful build egg. Amazing how a vanilla build is looking much better than mods. Hate to be the baron of bad news but that African pack conference center would be very fitting in one of those parks.
That green lawn space is so impactful. Love the build. Next episode is going to be fun! Nice work again Egg!
So much green space for a downtown, so much transport and so-so much downtown. :)
This will be great with all the time taken!
i think the tallest buildings should be build at the end of the island, in the middle which is directly in front of future airport, it should be height limited, so maybe that whole middle portion can be parks or brooklyn style buildings..
A wonderful start for what promises to be an incredible city centre for Orchid Bay! I love how nice and spaced out everything is. Great choice of assets - I had the same initial thought about the Korean twin towers but have grown to really like them and have found a good use for them. I love how the two tall Green Cities towers act as a second set of twin towers to compliment their Korean friends.
Just ONE thing I would suggest - move that other tower a little bit further away from the Korean duo (even just one or two tiles) maybe putting a pathway or a small plaza between them, just to give the Korean duo a bit of breathing room since that other tower is quite wide. It'll still add to the skyline without butting right up close to the twin towers. Otherwise though, a solid episode. Love it!
The view is amazing no matter which way you're looking. You've got such a creative way of making a city!
specific things I like about your building style :
generous yet tasteful and thought through tree placement.
creative design of backdoor area and private or semi private gardens.
buildings plaza, acces pathways, parkings.
integrated multimodal transit system.
using architectural themes coherently, taking into account the surrounding buildings yet adding diversity to the city.
abundance of pedestrian area, cycling ways and parks.
filling all the little spaces and giving them meaning using a lot a fences.
I didn't include everything around your building style that make all of this so wonderful including your editing job, your personality, your interactions with your community etc
Also, I have the upmost respect for your creative direction and your understanding of the general intent of the community. I know that this is only my opinions and I would enjoy your work just as much if you would'nt take into consideration my comments
(i would prefer thinner roads tho x) )
Thanks for the kind words mate, appreciate it :)
You seem, Egg, if I may be so casual, for be playing roughly the same game I am, on my xbox1, unlike some of your heavy-hitting content creator buddies, which is nice.
...this build is a masterpiece
your use of the leftover green "triangles" all over the downtown is awesome! it's nice to have a bunch of lil parks interspersed everywhere!
Oh yes, this is what we've all been waiting for. I really appreciate all of the large green space too. One thing that always bugs me about large city downtowns is the overwhelming amount of concrete, and I would very much enjoy my time sitting in one of those parks staring at the skyline.
I think I know why you love orchard Bay. With the new ccps and new vehicles and add-ons. There is more variety to mix and match. Thanks for the tip about green cities residential didn't know they have the tallest residential high density buildings
Ahh This is beautiful i hope you never lose interest in this City ❤❤❤
Really is a great build! Love all the transport going thru the city and how it creeps it's way up in height, mixed with shopping etc. Looks wonderful!❣
You sir are a magician. I don’t know any other words to use.
Love this. Looking gorgeous! So pleased for Orchid Bye, too 😂
NICE!
Can I just say how I really love the way you setup sightlines! You've only been doing it "forever, but downtowns really put the exclamation point on it. I've finally started trying to do the same in my cities
I'm seriously loving how this has turned out, and I'm excited for the next episode ❤❤
This episode is here just in time for me as I ready my city for skyscrapers. Always great ideas from your videos OE!
I love seeing you upload! You inspired me to play Cities again. I love your enthusiasm and excitement when you play, it's so infectious. Can't wait to see this project through and see how Thessia turns out.
I really love the way this city center is growing. The lawn area against the red path looks great, but may have you used the Heart of Africa conference centre yet? I can't remember. I think the low profile and pop of colour would suit the area well. I think Orchid Bay is fabulous and you deserve all the attention you are getting for such an amazing build.
We haven't used it yet! Maybe by the ocean park? Cheers Sarah ❤️
@@OVERCHARGEDEGG OOh yes. See, that's why you're you. Love it.
Love this and love the series! Im usually good at building out my lower / mid town vibes and then have a bit of a mental block with downtowns so always good to get the tips!
This is the best series! Really appreciate it. Been following and learning the value of slowing it down and planning more.
It's been a long time coming🎉. Loved the planning out of downtown last video
High-density and highrise buildings are the hardest things for me. -Might be because Norway doesn't really have much of it, even in our biggest cities. :D
You're creating something wonderful, I am loving the series
@42:47 These little details make a city. Pretty sure I've been to that downtown liquor store right next to the freeway.
In the green space by the stadium, I think it would be nice to add a pond/ small lake. Bring some water inland a little bit with a bit of park spice and lights around the water
The left side of the downtown where the baseball stadium is should be night life.
Sports venues sometimes run late at night and I have some fond memories of going to bars/ restaurants after a sports game to extend the night with my friends! Walkability is key for this thou so keep that in mind
As inspiring as always! My own style is so governed by how you lay things out - it's almost like you've brainwashed me at some point in the last few years. And I too, love a couplet!
Absolutely fantastic, love the downtown so far. Im looking forward to the next episode
I'm very much enjoying the buildup happening! My only biggest concern, or small critique, is the lack of parking for the two large stadiums. It's just feels unrealistic in a way. I'm not sure if you meant to do that, or if you plan on doing that. Thank you for the streams, it's a good relaxing start to my day when I watch them.
Egg, thank you so much, your series makes my days at work less boring and easier to go by. Keep being awesome my friend!
Thanks for watching mate! Hope work goes quickly for ya
Loving that the Gradient and Fence Police HQ is still a thing! Makes me feel like I'm a piece of Orchid Bay. I guess we all are eh? 😃 👍
Really enjoying your channel. In Cape Town we have a “first Thursdays” event once a month where all the museums and galleries downtown are open and there are no entry fees. Could be nice to have a bit of an ‘art district’ with museums and chic little galleries closer to the waterfront? Keep up the awesome builds 😉
The new downtown area of open grass, I think is crying out for some sparsely placed wildflowers.
Think of small patches trying to take hold. Enjoying the build. #Pro tip Feel free to name the new space "Gregory's Place" 😎 All the best, Gandalf
I love this build guide Started following the build guide now that cities skylines has now a remaster for next gen consoles just waiting for them to finish updating and translating everything over to the new remaster to make the most of the dlcs and new ccp which are not available yet but when they all do I’ll be watching this again on a new bigger brighter map also I’m a sucker for entertainment maybe a nice small entertainment district would be nice close to the downtown
The Six Rivers Centre is the peak of the skyline? Wow! In my opinion, I thought it was going to be the Japanese Office Skyscraper or Pinoa Street. So that tells me that Orchid Bay Downtown Core is going to be very busy! Looking forward to it Egg!
What do you like on your sandwich?
21:27
Excuse me?
32:59
So good! I can’t wait for the next 2 episodes so we can see the completed downtown skyline.
I'm on VOD 32 for the Orchid Bay series, and before I forget, I like the gradient and fence police building. Good fun. *grin-
Currently binging through this brilliant series and loving every second of it ♥️ a little late to the party as one could guess commenting 9 months later 😂😂
Would like to know: is there a “before and after” time lapse from the view down from the mountain? Like from every time you took a look down on to the growing city? 🥰
Thanks mate! Glad you're enjoying it! Haha there is later in the series but cannot remember what episode off the top of my head! I'll let you stumble upon it 😁 enjoy the binge mate, thanks for watching
Really amazing, I can't wait for part two! You give so much inspiration for downtown and detailing ❤🌇
Amazing as always Cant wait to see finished downtown!
Thanks Pati!
Very nice, I especially enjoyed the overgrown section of rail behind the club district
You have the most amazing planning skill and your eye is quite refined. Loving the city.
I thought the modern city centre was broken as nothing changes with my high-density, and watching this confirms it. I wonder what could be up, I've never seen these buildings before.
Absolutely loved the previous one with the all the networks, cant wait to watch this one!
Love you work Egg! 👏
Cheers mate! Enjoy :)
That high density fire dept. seems like a great place for some kind of memorial/monument
Hooray! So glad downtown has finally come!!
For the big empty lawn park, maybe add a fake lake with pedestrian paths so it feels at least used for something?
Cool video! 👍
Idea: Connect the both railway lines of the downtown hub!
Hello brother i am from India 🇮🇳 I love watching your city skyline videos
Love from England my friend, thanks for watching!
Don't forget the wall-to-wall! Great options for denser downtown builds.
I think the 3rd portion of downtown would be a good opportunity for a sort of IT/Technical specialization!
Hi, once again thank you so much for your work. I enjoy each episode a lot, this serie is awesome and just getting better. I though you looked speed up when checking on your transit system. Maybe you could use a slow managing episode or stream, just to take the time to check up services, posts, small banks, taxis, transit capacity or bus stops opportunities... I also though that your city could use some "desire paths". I love to see represented the frustrated people like me who won't follow your beautiful pathways and just make our dirt ones ourselves x)
Oh, also, I've been wishing this for a long time so I am asking you this as well. I just love how you take care of selecting each asset spawning and I would really like it if you took us on a tour in the city and check each zoned building to see if it still fits. Thank you again and have a great day
Hi egg i just noticed but the is a 5 point interchange at one of the exits of the elevated arterial road wont that cause traffic issues?
I feel like a complete Noob, watching your awesome build!
You have done again ,what a diamond !!! 🐶
Definitely would like to see some OOH advertising in the detailing, the downtown is crying out for it
What a great start to the downtown. Does the harbour hub have trams in it? If so I can’t remember if they got connected in on or not. Either way a tram line in the riverside park would look great especially as the parklife area would allow you to snap buildings onto the tram road
❤
Downtown LETS GOOO 🥳
Been waiting for this episode for ages 😭
Enjoy bro 😭
ahhhh!!! this is soo stunning!!!!! i'd love to live in this city. looking forward so much to the financial district!!!!!!! thank you so much for this omg love your stuff so so much
Glad you're enjoying it Goose!
a surprise episode just when i needed it😩😩😩😩u are amazing egg
Enjoy Dom!
I'm thinking ahead, but a coastal town like Saulsalito, CA would be cool just over the moutains from downtown!
Not at all strange for a Baobab to be moved and made a feature. In Durban, South Africa, the Botanical Gardens has 2 which were moved there from the drier Kruger National Park area. The gardens also have an exquisite orchid house. 😂 These trees are not found naturally on the coast. Durban Boy's High also has a Baobab next to their rugby fields that was donated to the school. The tree is a very important part of the culture and traditions for the school.
Haven't finished the video yet but do you plan on doing an amusement park on the shore ? Because I think it would be great as the very big park near the tourism district. And it could make huge profit. This video is amazing btw, finally the downtown ! This downtown is the best I ever seen and believe me when I say I spend hours watching every piece of Cities Skyline content on youtube ahah
at the tip of the downtown peninsula should be some hard core tourism: amusement park or something like that
Howdie OE from Allenstown, NH. USA, great looking downtown you got growing there.
coming along very nicely! Need a Mad Mountain view check-in!
Start of the detailing review mate :)
@@OVERCHARGEDEGG I knew as soon as I typed it then it would happen 😂
so excited about the episode
...while I have your attention, your Aussie place is uncanny!
@27:44 😂 I'm trying to imagine the bureaucracy involved in getting the Gradient AND Fence Police in the same department, let alone the same building.
Oooo I’m excited for the city 🎉🎉😂😂
*SUGGESTION* : I think the six river center building feels a little smaller for the peak of skyrise as its only 286 mtrs high , where we can have the highest building available with contant creator pack that around 400 mtrs high , it would look amazing and can be seen from miles away.
Best city ever, I really enjoy and always waiting a new episode of thise series city. Thanks for such amazing videos :)
Hey love the build! Just wanted to point out that island connect to the downtown by bridge. I think that's supposed to be the port. Would it make sense to move your current port there and build a bigger facility? It just doesn't rlly make sense where it is now.
You should do some it clusters
Looks great, excited for the next episode
I hope you are able to use the skyscraper bank and international trade center assets as part of your downtown build. I love using them in mine
looking good Egg!
yes a new episode 😍
Becca's Bars needs a taxi rank for those night owls to vomit in
Ah yes, Tram HR for when the trams are having arguments with each other. Didn't know Orchid Bay was the location of a Thomas the Tank Engine spin-off 😆
finally this episode uploaded 🥹
A classic OE double dip, thanks for not leaving us waiting a week!
Any thoughts on adding some stops on your layered transit through this third?
Seems like there’s an opportunity for at least a metro stop to supplement the monorail/get these downtowners moving
Love orchid bay
I always try to start my cities as small towns and grow then dynamically but redoing downtown road networks has been such a pain. Any tips on redesigning "old" areas?. My go to solution has been pedestrianisation or one way roads lol
That spot in the left of the island you could make into a large city park or large Intercity university campus or a bit of both
i love this so much unbelievable... it littarly makes me happy watching your video's
If you connect the new police road with the monorail bridge junction would add more connectivity for the police.
