Trying to catch up on some videos, got quite the pile up lately :D This is a super fun episode, really enjoying it! 💛 As you might know, I always love building new roads and infrastructure in general, especially when metro and things like that are involved ^-^ It's just super exciting for me to create roads and rail tracks and figure out transit networks with them. And in my opinion, the way you build your networks & infrastructure is super inspiring for me ^-^ You create them in a way that immediately gives me thoughts on all the buildings and districts and areas and landmarks that might be there, if you know what i mean. And i think that's in certain ways exactly what you want your road networks in C:S to do, you want them to inspire you and to give you ideas. And, as i said, you're nailing it here, really loving it 💛 And you also have Kev to help you, eh? :D The way your train tracks are laid out on the entire map feels really immersive, if you know what i mean. Generally that's true for all your infrastructure, I would genuinely believe this map is real if i didn't clearly see it being C:S :D One thing that always surprises me about Oracle Valley is how huge it feels 🤯 You already built SO MUCH on the map, but there's still so much space and so many opportunities for more projects left, making it all feel like a massive urban area ^-^ Something about the way you build makes the map feel twice as large, if you know what I mean, i love that. Thank you so much for your videos, much much appreciated! 💛 I have to say, I'm still very happy you're back in C:S1 and continuing your projects here, so much possibility ^-^ ALL the best 💛

Hi ... 3:50 Connecting at Zoo Station (which would be my name suggestion) makes sense, especially if you develop the area around it. 4:10 - 4:20 The potential airport extension would just copy the connection already provided by the rail line. Only significant development between zoo and airport would give the metro its own purpose as a more local service. Instead I would split the blue metro line into two lines; both interlining through the pre-episode-52-route. One line would take the Zoo-route, the other one would branch off 13:07 after the first new station, servicing the wood and ore industries before reaching the airport. 25:19 I truly dislike this rail/metro hub with the road inbetween - it encourages to have a long collector road that does not have real intersections (= connecting to more than a parking lot cul-de-sac) for miles. It usually creates a road in the middle of nowhere with a station in the middle of nowhere ... the future pedestrian bridges partly solve the functional problem, a realism issue remains. It leaves an artificial impression like 51.29159035942089, 6.786934066928256 Düsseldorf Airport Station, hardly integrated into the surrounding area. 45:08 The railway version of this metro station asset might provide another interesting transfer option, but I must admit that my Oracle Valley orientation suffered quite during the long hiatus. Check for interesting line options before adding.

I rather like the idea you propose about making a metro spur like to the airport - bypassing the two new stations! That would open up a lot of area for development too! Yes, that asset is not the best is it! Tried to use it and make the road as "calm" as possible. Apologies for the delay in videos and in answering your comments!!

Thanks for the video. Continuty is overrated.
