for continuity the park name should be Hans VonSchlong memorial park 🙂
Exactly my idea. Helmut, Hans… all the same 😅
That's genius, I would've never thought of that😂
+1, fantastic idea.
Came here to say this :)
That guy on the horse of obviously Hans von Schlong
Loving the episode. One suggestion: A pedestrian bridge between crownfarm passenger train station and the residential zone on the other side of the water would be very good IMO. anyways love your playthroughs.
In Prospect, the Park with tables with light in the middle could be arranged to represent the Orion Constellation stars or something similar. It would really look nice at night. Good and productive episode :) Thanks Darren.
Yeah, it would look really cool...
The tunnel crosswalk you built at the end is a bit funky because it starts immediately as a tunnel and it doesn't go deep enough. You enter underground mode at -8 but it's best to go until -10 or more to avoid weird terrain.
Not sure if you know or maybe you even mentioned it, but I just want to make sure you know of a neat feature of the node/tree/misc selection tool you’re using. IIRC you can use the little pipette at the top right corner to select something specific to make the selection process easier. For example let’s say you have an area with trees but you don’t want a specific kind of trees amongst them. Instead of deleting all trees and replanting them you can use the tool, click on the kind of tree you want to delete which makes it your selector tool. Afterwards just mark an area and it should only select the chosen kind of tree. Then you can delete them. It works with most assets, buildings, decorations etc.
Regarding the park statue:
Since you said german ww1 guy I thought you could name the park after Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck "The Lion of Africa".
If you dont know about him, he was the commanded of the german forces in East Africa.
He campaigned against 300000 troops with a force of 14000 in one of the most succesful guerrilla warfare operations in history.
He was apparently quite nice to his Askari (African soldiers) and pushed for back dated pay for them after ww1 (a wish he was granted posthumously).
He opposed Nazi ideology during ww2 and died in 1964 at almost 94 years old.
There is quite a bit more about him and a lot of information out there, but personally hes one of my favourite german generals and i thought it would be a great fit for the park.
The city is shaping up to be great! Okay, it is honestly very nice to hear that you read all the comments and appreciate them, Darren. With bigger creators with thousands of comments on each video (which you totally deserve to get to as well) it sometimes feels useless to even try to comment since it would be very unlikely that the creator will ever see that comment. But in a whole bunch of your videos I personally felt as if you were speaking to me and that's such a special feeling to receive! Thanks. Anyways, now to the wall of text with notes, kudos and suggestions.
Well done on the redesign of the farming industry -- it looks good and seems to be quite functional. I guarantee you will need more cargo terminals in the future. Especially so since you are trying to build a more or less realistic city with industry and commercial spread out. The mechanically game-y way would have been to concentrate it and tightly control the traffic, segregating pedestrian foot traffic, commercial/industry trucks and private car traffic into their completely separated roads. That's how you make this game run at most efficient. But that would be in many ways unrealistic. So I am honestly looking forward to the compromises you'll have to use in the future.
A small tip for the train system: if you want to keep the stations where they are and with the semi-realistic number of stations, you really ought to make dedicated train tracks for passenger and cargo trains. It will save you so much hassle in the long run. You can see any problem and track it down so much easier and there won't be any snowball effect like with road traffic. Build interchanges at the farthest point of your unlocked tiles and run 2 sets of double tracks from there, each dedicated to either cargo or passenger lines. This way no bypasses will be needed at the stations with the exception of those interchanges at the edges of your territory to let the cargo and intercity trains leave the map.
The cross walk tunnels need more space. The path has to be longer before it becomes a tunnel and the tunnel needs to be deeper, at least 10 meters. Otherwise you get this kinds of articifacting on the map surface.
The Metro is getting too long for single tunnel loop. It might be time to break it up into 2 or more lines in separate tunnels. That will also help you figure out the layout with station/hub placement. Being too attached to making a metro loop with one tunnel is what tripping you up. Break them up. Make more dedicated lines that do not have the exact same Metro station to connect them. People can walk one block to get on the other Metro line, they don't have to be in the exact same spot, especially if the tunnels underneath them are going in different directions.
I think it would be a good idea to start on the Forestry industry right across from where Shoreline is, just a bit more in-land. I assume you are not going to expand the suburbs in that direction anymore so that is a good place for forestry. You have the tile now and there is already a cargo terminal and road network set up right there. It doesn't have to be a huge investment since it will have to grow and upgrade itself anyway. So forestry will grow while you are busy with building up the downtown and open up more jobs and unique factories. Just leave the coast clear for any possible future projects.
Also, rather than a ferry, it might be a good idea to run a passenger train line along the shore from Centraal all the way to Shoreline, it could even complete the loop. Making a tunnel underneath that little peninsula and integrating those tracks into the future Cargo Harbor later on could be a lot of fun. You'll have to turn Centraal to be sideways and adjust the tracks, but it just might work wonders with how much industry jobs Shoreline + Forestry will provide and be a more direct alternative to the subway since it doesn't even go directly to shoreline anyways. Plus, from my standpoint and since you had concerns that the Metro in suburbs was weird, having Commuter Rail service going to suburbs is actually much more realistic than the Metro. At least, here in Germany it is the most natural thing ever. And, for what it is worth, it would be so much more effective than the ferry. Direct, straight line connection with the tunnel without any need to go around the peninsula, faster travel speed and far greater volume of people moved overtime. It would be a better idea to leave the ferry for now and come back to it when/if you're gonna develop the islands off the coast, which is a far better usage for a ferry than mainland that can be left for superior trains. Hopefully, I'm being convincing and logical without sounding too pushy or like shitting on your ferry idea or anything, not my intention.
One final thing, and I really don't want to say it, but I really, really hate how the high school is placed right up against the Tram/Metro hub. It looks like it's doors open directly into huge busy road with too much pedestrian and car and tram traffic and it's a cramped mess. Not to mention having plazas at the back of the high school doesn't make any sense. Combining those plazas with the road and Tram/Metro station in front of the high school would make so much more sense -- it would actually make it a real communal plaza next to a transit hub, like it often happens in big cities with good planning. The statue plaza would look nice in front of the school and the food truck plaza would blend with that little café and provide an extra seating area. It's a small thing, but it is making my OCD crazy. Could you, please, if you don't mind, switch them around.
That's all from me. I'm hoping this was helpful and not too long. Cheers, Darren, I'm looking forward to the next one!
I enjoy seeing you be super OCD about your districts because I'm exactly the same way.
for the 3 rail lines at crown farms, would it not make sense to maybe make the parallel tracks run longer then got 3 into 2 and 2 into 1. Just feel like you get a bit of "Parking" for trains that way, so if the line is full it doesnt block the main line
I like how you just spend some time for you viewers to read their comments and sometimes answer them. Even though you are a small UA-camr it’s still very amusing to watch! Keep it up!🎉🎉
Glad you like it!
There was a lot of re-arranging in this CS episode and that's always exciting. One thing never changes: Swords is a great looking city! The farms are looking especially great now after this great overhaul. I didn't know we needed that, but it does look better! Could the trainlines perhaps have been busy because of the temporary import spike after that? Because it looks pretty neat to me ☺
PS That's really cool you have two seperate intercity trainlines coming in 😃 I've never seen that before.
When you spot them, perhaps they either take the left or right platform to stop at in their lane. In that case I would shift the innercity stop just a smidge, on the same (double)track. So the people hop off on the other side then. Which might eliviate those trains backing up? But this is just me guessing on how it might be.
Also, about the priority railline between stations at Crown farms: On intersections of road you know how you sometimes switch on the green circle with a car, so that cars keep going? Do train intersections have that same menu? Or do the trains slow down before every bend? I'd like to know how that works. But it was a great idea from your discord friend to build this line inbetween.
Clicking like before even watching the video, I caught myself lacking
I would love to see a dusty little offshoot of a town somewhere else on the map. Dirt roads, schools out policy, just working fishers or forestry. The highway motel could be a great addition there too. Anyway! Keep up the great work! I'm enjoying this playthrough a lot.
- More unique factories using your industries and of course growing them.
- I know you understand now, but the fact that so many people are using the tram at the train station is proof that your metro system is not working.
- multi-level metro station and solving your tram traffic. You can make sure that trams have priority at stoplights.
A bit curious how you gonna rework the metro, it would be interesting if there is more satellite towns to south or west of the city
10.
Just a quick little note. The tunnel created near the start of the time lapse is highly suspect. The hard right turn underground is quite unusual and for good reason, it would be rather dangerous not being able to see anything in the direction you are going. A gradual curve would be far more appropriate.
i think me need a central hospital, and maybe pave the ground around the statue in helmut park as concrete and connect it to a road and add some benches around the statue,and mybe the next district should be called new belmont as a nod to the first ever district other than that amazing series i am loving it :)
Do a district with european Style buildings. Trust me, it looks wonderful.👍
I'm glad to know tht you're reading comments :D
You're doing a greate job in redesigning the "old" areas, in particular the farm area got a cool new look, espetially the train tracks that I was complaining about in the previous episode XD. The prospect area got a huge impovement too. I like very much how you playthrough ^-^
Prociding into viewing the next episode :D
Glad you like them!
What you need to do to get low educated workers for your farm is to build a small low density residential area in a close location to your farm, and then apply a school’s out policy. This will encourage the low education sims to apply for work at the farm, where they are close to already.
The farm itself is more than large enough to build the low density houses themselves as a means to attract more workers to their farm.
City Planner Plays used this same reasoning and plan when he began to build his farming industry in Verde Beach, and was having similar problems with getting lower educated workers to join the labor force in his farm.
Greatly enjoying this play through. Currently catching up on satisfactory while waiting for new updates for this. Keep them coming!
Hey Darren haven’t fully caught up on the series yet but if it hasn’t been done already think about some express line for the rail systems I feel it would increase the flow of people getting to work and hopefully de clutter a lot of the unnecessary stops in between
I think you should put more budget to get a couple more Tram out
Hey brother. I am Well entrenched into the series and I will say what great content. As a busy man without the time to play, it's calming stuff. Thanks mate. Appreciate the work.
Thank you! Appreciate the kind words
I would be really cool to see a party/night out/clubbing district😇
I would run the train line directly into the center bypass line so bypassing trains don’t have to merge twice
To fix the issue with not enough educated workers there is a policy called schools out I believe which you can apply to an existing district or create a new one where they are encouraged to only study Elementary and go to work right away which creating you more workers on that tier. Love the content as always Darren.
I would love to see your city in the snow
Thanks for recording, I enjoy watching, (fyi your voice soathes 😊)
hey im not sure if you have done anything in this area yet, but where you wanted to put a log cabin, i think a lighthouse would look really nice there!! im bingewatching so apologies if you’ve already filled in that area
Good video , you rock
If you really wanna go German for the park, you could do Bismarck Park (for Otto von Bismarck, famous political figure during and before WW I and often depicted wearing a Pickelhaube (spiked/kaiser helmet))!
Loving the city man
Hey! I really like this series. I like that you want to play the game, not just build something great. You really are my favorite City Skylines player and I can't wait to see how you'll do in City Skylines 2. I keep saying things I like so it might sound a bit weird, but I can't help it. I think my favorite thing is the little parks you put in, however I will give one critique. The natural parks you build are kind of bland or all functions the same! I was happy that you placed a statue in the most recent one, but the same food trucks, ice cream vendors, park benches, and trees - it's no fun! Could you make like a flower or fountain park? I also like the idea of there being a beach side for people to enjoy and a commuting ferry/boat. I also can't wait for you to build the stadium thing you talked about a few episodes back.
Love your content
For the tunnel you don't want pedestrians to use, if you made it out of highway road it wouldn't have a pavement so they'd have to use the brudge. You'd have to make it a one wah system though somehow.
Sir Seymor Swords
The statue is Jeanne d’Arc for me
wow, just listening on the "reading most of the comments". 100/day...would not be for me, but then... I am not a content creator ;) I really enjoy the Series!
Its really just a passion of mine I guess, like if you make something and put it out there you want to know what people think. Its almost always positive for me anyways. I’ve also read each comment you posted btw, but replying to everything would obv be too much, so I just pick and choose a few to reply to each day!
@@WhatDarrenPlays Cool....and usually I am not expecting a reply :) But thanks, and keep on with the nice content! Cheers.
Oh I got it stoner park
Thanks for the great content. Question is there a way to have graffiti I think that would be cool make a yuppy part of town.
Would your trains by the farm benefit from having an extended dual track as you currently have three tracks going straight to one which could be the issue you’ll prob have the same issue when more trains start leaving your central station
Hey man, love your videos and somethint that Iis bothering me a little is that the songs are always the sam
Yeah I can try add a few more into the rotation
If you are still having problems with the mid tier "educated" jobs still not being filled, the public school is a great way to educate children while preventing them from receiving the title of highly educated or well educated.
Hey Darren I am a bit worried that the university might be at capacity I haven’t watched the most recent episodes so I do not no if you addressed it or not I really enjoy watching the series
Nope its all good! About 2700/4000 in the most recent! I actually have an odd issue, which is not enough uneducated people now. So i’ll have to expand fast and intentionally overpopulate so that not everyone can go to university.
love this series but next time can you focus more on expansion. ☺😄
Keep going 🤗
LET'S GO
More road tolls please 🙏
51:49 did I hear a timer go off?
Gill’s park
What map is this built on please, thanks
Hart's Hill on the Workshop
Next livestream?
Just a question are you going to make a college campus
I hope to in the future - it'll be on the opposite side of the central train station
@@WhatDarrenPlays oh cool
A yoga garden behind the police station 💀💀
Very safe! :P
@@WhatDarrenPlays absolutely the safety makes it so *quiet* lmao 😂 (love the series so far btw)
Maybe make a poor nabiorhood with only a elementary school for low workers everything doesn't have to be perfect real city's aren't but I love whatever u do have fun
Anyone else notice how he said anal without saying it legend 🤣🤣🤣🤣
von schlong city park
Hey man, invite for discord seem to be expired. Can you replace it?
