  • Cities: Skylines - How to plumb water and electricity into your town
    Today I am going to show you how to use the underground plumbing in Cities: Skylines. I will show you every step you need to take in order to get the water treatment and fresh water pumps operational. While I'm doing this I will also show you how to use electricity. I'll be using wind turbines and pylons in order to get electricity to the city and to the pumps. This is the only water and electricity tutorial in Cities: Skylines that you will ever need. This tutorial will help you when facing issues like; sewage backing up, sewage being forced from showers, no fresh water supply in your town, people getting sick with quality of water, no water coverage in your town, electricity disconnected and many other related problems

    I've watched probably a hundred tutorial videos since starting to get into this game a couple weeks ago (most really good) but for me, yours just set a new gold standard in super quick and basic yet taught me something new about canals and deep water placement that I haven't seen before. I look forward to checking out your other vids.

    Information put straight forward and easy to understand. I knew most from playing the game, but I'm always looking for videos to get more ideas, more useful info, no matter if it's for beginner or pro, one can never know what new things could learn. Your video did just that with your canal and deep water pumping. Even though I'm not yet sure if this reflect real life, it's a new starting point for study.
    Thank you so much!

  • @lwvmobile
    @lwvmobile 4 роки тому +2

    Yep. I screwed that up. I was running big pylons behind all the zones. I still have that Sim City 2000 on the SNES tutorial burned into my head, where you build a power plant and a road and then run the power lines straight down through the zoned areas and buildings will build with them there. I was wondering why those pylons were sticking out so badly like a sore thumb. Had way too many of them, probably cost me a fortune too. Whelp, time to make a new and improved "New Fartland"

    • @AniCodYT

    @kaskovic1993 4 роки тому +4

    So in my game in the beginning it was fine but now im at a point that in some parts of the city it says not enough electricity but there is electricity. Cause the cables are giving it electricity I even checked there is a blue line and the city is blue which means there is ectricirt the availability of electricity is green which means it has full availability. Now I even put the budget up to 150 percent for day and night but still no electricity. So I added another wind turbine to my coal plant and still no electricity what can I do there is nothing else???

    • @AniCodYT
      @AniCodYT  4 роки тому

      wind turbines in big cities are useless. i would recommend adding a second coal plant and making sure ALL parts of your suburbs are connected together. If you're low on electricity, the parts of your city furthest from power will shut down first :-) hope this helps!

      water pump and sewage pump are both needed. Both in the water and both linked together. You then have to put power to them. Use turbines or powerplants then link them all up with a row of pylons

    Power lines can't be underground? The standing towers with the power line look not very cool. There is this blue zone around the houses to which electricity is supplied. As long as the houses are close to each other, it is enough to bring electricity to this zone and nowhere else, regardless of the size of the city?

    So I should lay out the water and electricity first? I'm so confused lol.

      zone a small amount of residential, commercial and then industrial.. then power it all up with water and electricity... you can build up slowly from there paying attention to the city needs as you go on..
