Solar Power Plants, Industry and Completed Harbor - Cities: Skylines - Aurelia #91

[@milkfather1781]

I love the bridge and the rotating power plants!

[@Phobophobia]

Just listening to the aurelia theme releases the happy chemicals in my brain.

[@mechtechpotato4249]

I believe that is called dopamine. It is so crazy to think that that one chemical alters the electrical flow through our brains resulting in the emotional state we call happy. Complex life is really a marvel of engineering.

Amazing! I've been following the series since the beginning. It's very pleasant to see someone skillfully build such an interesting world. I have always imagined that this is some kind of city on Mars, a few hundred years from now.

[@plaxci]

I would probably spend hours looking at those rotating power plants. Very creative!

[@Xondar11223344]

Those vertical solar plants look like they're from Evangelion 2.22. The towers are mirrors and they focus sunlight onto the central part. They might even be molten salt solar arrays. You can see them in the KZbin video "Evangelion 2.22 - TOKYO-III Wakes up," which is the part of the movie that uses a great track from The Man Who Stole the Sun OST.

One of the coolest episodes of Aurelia yet, and at number 91. That's relly impressive dude

[@raziq5498]

Finally caught up with this series and I can say that your build is very spectacular. You can see how it evolved throughout the series. Might start watching Altengrad next.

[@unasudaca9803]

Excellent! The amount of unique detail in such a large area. Every new episode gets better than the last.

[@molybdane7240]

Great job on the rotating solar power plants! I am happy to see you took the time to make the rotation match the environment. My guess is that solar panels such as these are quite good at absorbing sunlight early and late in the day, when the sun is low. The white circles on the bottom might act as mirrors, redirecting vertical light during the middle of the day into the panels.

[@Xondar11223344]

It's the other way around! Those solar plants are from Evangelion 2.22, and you can see them in operation in that movie. The mirrors themselves are also capable of limited vertical and horizontal movement, and they reflect sunlight into the bottom central parts.

[@whotoobe]

In Brooklyn's Red Hook neighborhood there is a canal that has tons of parked barges, so yours doesn't look inaccurate, per se. Mostly just floating storage for industry etc. and famously polluted waters. Decent bbq (for Brooklyn) down around there.

[@Nick-yi4tr]

new akruas video is the best thing that could happen to my day

[@DanSanguineti]

Those solar power stations are just beautiful especially with the PO animation to them. Congrats on another fantastic episode.

[@k4mpfie001]

One of the best episodes so far! Great attention to detail!

[@lagritsalammas]

Stunning work! Thank you once again for sharing, am a longtime fan!

[@sisconhimejoshi]

You truly outdid yourself on this one. Congratulations.

[@danielw.2442]

Man, that's gorgeous... almost like art. 👍🍻

[@unknownPLfan]

Where is this rotating solar power concept from? It looks incredible. It seems to make sense at least though googling around for it only gives me more typical solar power types (e.g. updraft or those concentrated solar heat plants.) also steam workshop seems to be down so I can't look for them there either right now. EDIT: Found the workshop asset. Turns out that the reason I couldn't find this concept anywhere is that it's a specific background detail from Neon Genesis Evangelion that you'd probably have to deduce are solar thermal collectors, but otherwise, I don't remember them being mentioned in the anime.

[@srb_guy3487]

I believe they're from Tokyo 3 in the anime Neon Genesis Evangelion.

[@unknownPLfan]

@@srb_guy3487 yup. never noticed them. They just blended in as sci-fi looking structures. I mention they're form that anime in an edit to my comment.

[@Atm-nv9lz]

I think in Evangelion 2.0 its more directly shown that they act as mirrors of some sort that redirect sunlight down into the geofront.

[@syliusnkazi7583]

Innovation ! Thanx a lot ! Inspiring people to new frontiers !

[@MrLynx777]

great work! for the canal I would have imagined an industrial valve system for freight ships or a custom bridge that rises with the appropriate mod. for the angle on the quays I would also have put less buildings because they hide the leaning facade that existed and it is a shame because it was really good

[@RoefLaser]

WOW!... Hasta en lo zona del puerto dan ganas de vivir!... Excelente!... Muchas Gracias!...

[@anoniemw.222]

20:59, maybe you could add that boad as a ferry vehicle and run a ferry line (with that vehicle) through the channel. Then it would be moving wich makes it look more alive

[@Akruas]

It's not a vehicle.

[@lc5957]

i missed this episode! glad i realized it in time for the enw one :D

[@jefelipe_]

Hey, there is a barge mod in the workshop that uses the ferry network to transport cargo from a place to another inside the city. Maybe you can use it to give life to the barges next to the new insdutrial area.

[@Akruas]

It uses it's own barges that I don't like for this project.

[@mycommoncold]

What is that mod you are using at 16:49? I've been trying to find it for ages but I can't figure out what it's called or if it's on the workshop in the first place

[@RobertDoornbosF1]

It's Node Controller. I believe by Kian.Zarrin. But there is a new one called Node Controller renewal, these videos are a bit behind which he has mentioned I think. That's probably why he's using the old node controller still in videos

[@Akruas]

I'm using the old NC still because the new one apparently won't transfer all of the previous builds.

[@RobertDoornbosF1]

@@Akruas oh, there was a mod you werent using yet becauss the videos werr prerecorded a bit, right? Was it Rotterdam

[@Akruas]

@@RobertDoornbosF1 that was it yes

[@mycommoncold]

@@Akruas Thank you guys, I didn't even know that it was an old node controller that had this feature

[@KyNYC212]

Wow...just WOW!!

[@spartan117zm]

I almost wonder if you could somehow make the barges into a ferry asset, so that you could assign them to ferry lines and make them appear as though they’re going back and forth to the edge of the map.

[@koen2715]

it looks amazing

[@goldfishkaden1539]

is it possible to make the barges an asset and have that replace the cargo ships, or even fairies so you can control where they go?

[@spindlymango225]

great vid!

[@hjalmahos]

REALLY ENJOYING THIS!!!!!

[@kertaspaper94]

They announce that my neighbourhood will be put under enforced lockdown tomorrow, meaning two weeks of isolation from the outside world bar delivery workers dropping parcels at the checkpoints. Hopefully new Aurelia video will keep my mood up at least for a little while.

[@ZGreenGaming]

Very nice!

[@bbbenj]

Why didn't you use the Barge Mod, which permit to have living barges?

[@Akruas]

Because I want my own custom barges

[@bbbenj]

@@Akruas there are some different ones on the market, but not a lot, you're right. Is it really difficult to create a asset which works with this mod?

[@Akruas]

@@bbbenj I don't know, I don't make assets

[@bbbenj]

I think you promised us a tram ride when is it? I think far away because you have now changed configuration of game for aurelia :(((

[@Akruas]

It's coming, I just need to finish this peninsula because it will be visible from the ride, #96 should probably be it.
