About the Project:
Join me as we create a map rich with natural beauties, distant towns and a bustling metropolis. The aim is to create an island that feels as big as a state or territory, including vast biomes, mountains, rivers and an endless coastline. Set in Australia and New Zealand (maybe an island in between), this map takes inspiration from open world video games and the way in which the game devs create such immersive environments, such as GTA 4 and 5, Red Dead Redemption 2 and the Mafia 4 maps. To take it one step further, every thing on the map should feel unique and distinct. No city district, town or mountain should feel or look the same.

a good example of a port near the mountains (as you got it) is the one in Bilbao, northern Spain. When the expansion was made 30 years ago it was built near a smaller city in the Bilbao metropolitan area, in Santurtzi. Its called Bilbao port

I think it would make sense to include some duplexes by the railyard since that industry really needs workers near by. Then I would branch it off so there are a couple streets that go up into the hills with a few houses. Maybe, include a roundhouse and turntable for the trains. That would look neat. Always a pleasure whatever you build tho. You'll definitely need more rubbish collection.

[@twodollarstwenty]

Really great suggestions!

[@edwardmiessner6502]

@@twodollarstwenty I've made a similar suggestion and it could be a dense older working-class suburb like the examples I noted in my other comment.

[@danielw.4441]

30:00 As a workaround of these trains switching lanes , i use the tmpe and give those connecting parts a slower speed limit. So they moslty stay. Or you can ban cargo trains from some of the lanes

[@MrMolova]

The latter part. Ban them from where they were cutting the corner for example. 😌 He's done a lot of work on the speeds to make them more realistic in built up areas and turns so there's not alot of movement with them to help routing.

[@proof036]

For the cargo rail I would recommend doing a single track bypass line around the bay area. Mainly to prevent the Central Station from to much congestion.

[@redoctober1991]

That hillside behind the cargo terminal would be great for some low-mid quality housing, I'm talking old state houses or homes built in the 30s-40s that are showing their age, backed onto that with some dense forest up until the windfarm. Areas in Wellington would serve as a good example; Khandallah, Ngaio, Brooklyn, Karori, Hataitai, Kilbirnie, maybe not so much Mirimar because that's more mid-high quality. Definitely more Kilbirnie/Lyall Bay than anything, those suburbs sit alongside Wellington Airport.

[@ghostangel828]

Yes, that kind of rougher neighborhood would look great next to railways and a very industrial park. Kind of like where the old workers would have been living in the 20's. Back in the days downtown -ish was always where they lived to be near industry as the downtown area was not desirable to the wealthier class like it is today.

[@FolgoreCZ]

15:28 You might want to check up on that intersection. That doesn't look right.

[@Iain31313]

The area with the unknown industry, I’ve recently built a small fishing town in that area, which also has a ferry to the large island. To get tourists I made a nature reserve with a small camp ground, horse stables and a few tracks along the ridge plus a costal path to one of the beaches. Great work making this map with each area being so diverse. Nailed the open world RPG feel.

[@terryyu493]

yeah, I was thinking fishing industry there would make real sense.

[@elijah6970]

You should build worker housing or row housing next to the train yard. It could have been built as housing for the port workers.

[@codeclash6759]

In terms of trains overtaking one another, usually the bypass/double track sections are located in the stations so that a freight train can pass a commuter at passenger stations.

[@MateodeJovel]

I would say that since the railyard is near the Olympic park, that there are nicer towers/homes/townhouses near the stadium shifting to less dense housing up the mountain and closer to the airport

[@williamhall1873]

You should design very small villages alone the train line with passing looks that used to be stations. Like lots of these in nz central north island

[@oliverrevis4190]

I agree. Or like super small stations such as Otford and Wondabyne train stations in NSW. Which serve very small villages or for other purposes.

[@bluehairminerboy]

Great video! For the freight trains that are going through the stations, you can use TM:PE's vehicle restriction function to only allow passenger services on a certain bit of track.

[@br9931]

Did the same with truck/car lanes and it worked well

[@loganowens6317]

Old style suburbs would suit in between the freight yard and hill there. It’s proximity to the city centre would have had it developed early on in the cities history and can show how the freight hard would have pushed most of the suburbs out

[@theodorechiou2886]

when you want the cargo and passenger tracks to mix and seperate, you can use TM:PE vehicle restrictions :)

The area you worked on around the port and rail hub looks so Grand Theft Auto! 😄👌🏼 Those beach spots are selling them selves. An attempt at a stretch of protected reef around the islands would be a good challenge. Please can Oceania have a sacred site, like Uluru!? Rock formation/ landscape art/ highway rest spot called Dream time. 🤷🏽‍♂️ Australia has such an ancient and rich history. Top guy really enjoy your content $2.20. Cannot wait for new build.

[@avgeek707]

Next to the terminal Id really like to see houses that are a bit more run down. Because all the suburbs of Dundee are quite nice (and if we take AUS as a guide, really bloody expensive). And those people aren't working the heavy labor of the port. So some houses that are not so nice and are run down... maybe an ethnic neighborhood of some sort could be blended in there?

the unknown beach town could be a bit of a touristic destination, it's quite close to dundee and padisson so for their holliday perhaps. so like a town that is tourism based, but also verry seizonal.?

[@ghostangel828]

Exactly what i had in mind. While we do have a Bondi-esque part to Dundee, I think a dedicated touristic city is necessary within the island. Plus it looks to have so great big beaches

[@elevatorsofnewengland2020]

I had something to bare in mind but when this series comes to an end whenever it does, have you ever thought of your next project would be a Boston Massachusetts series, like the surrounding towns out towards the west is less dense and there are so many mountains and valleys in Massachusetts! I’d thought I ask you that because I’m interested of watching something like that on KZbin

[@edwardmiessner6502]

That should also include the dense larger towns on the North Shore and the prettier, smaller towns on the South Shore (of course each shore has its exceptions)

As a train driver in NSW it good to see some realistic trains and train lines in Cities Skylines. Whenever I play the trains get clogged up because they drive on either track and then get stuck with oncoming trains. I wish they only drove on the same side as the road traffic.

[@radiation3041]

At 10:35 i think it would make a lot of sense if you put some apartments lower down towards the stadium as if they were hotels

[@CK28989]

In NSW, there are sections of track just for freight, some just for passenger and some mixed use. I think you can definitely play around a bit with separating the passenger and freight in certain parts of the map. Frieght might take a more direct, less scenic route to Paterson, but overlap coming into town. A good example is in Western Sydney where commuter trains run on the T1 and T3 lines, and there is a freight line that runs through the industrial areas of Enfield and Chullora (roughly between Homebush and Punchbowl on the communter lines) which links directly to Port Botany without joining commuter lines again. There are some great maps online, including Transport for NSW ones. I imagine having freight rail swing around the coast through Port Taranaki before heading inland to Paterson makes more sense than sharing the passenger line by the dam.

[@TheBeetrootman]

You can use traffic manager to restrict train tracks to either passenger or cargo rail.

[@MoritzKoeniger]

Hey there, two dollars, LOVE your channel, thank you so much for all of your videos. I know you said you weren't planing any european style builds in the near future, BUT if've just been on holiday in Italy and found a place that I would love to see in one of your builds. The area is called "Cinque Terre" in northwestern Italy. Five litte, beautiful villages on a steep mountainside right next to the sea, connected mainly through a trainline going through tunnels, a bikelane going through the old train tunnels on the beachside, and many walking paths through the vineyards and forests in the mountains between the villages. Some small curvy roads connect the villages, but are mostly reserved for service vehicles. And of course, the villages are connected up via a ferry system. You can obviously find a lot of tourism there, combined with some agriculture (many vineyards). - Beautiful landscape -Beautiful, colourful villages -Litte Beaches and tiny fishing harbours -Very interesting infrastructure (train connection - one line, going through tunnels from north to south, connecting up to two bigger citys in both directions, ferry system, small curvy mountain roads, cycling tunnel between the villages, walking paths) - be shure to also check out the villages Levanto and Bonassola north of the area, the old train bridges there have been reused for parking and cycling. IF you should decide to do a european style build in the future, please check out Cinque Terre. Not shure if it's enough for a whole map, but definitly perfect for a part of an italian/ european based project! Here's a few pictures of the area: trekkinglife.it/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Cinque-Vernazza-37.jpg external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.pinimg.com%2Foriginals%2Fd2%2Fc2%2F48%2Fd2c2486db41ec7416cfcd2444a3a2b03.jpg&f=1&nofb=1 c7.alamy.com/comp/G1ME4G/cinque-terre-train-riomaggiore-italy-G1ME4G.jpg c7.alamy.com/compfr/d19wbn/italie-cinque-terre-manarola-chemin-de-fer-train-mer-vernazza-vignes-cliff-d19wbn.jpg Again, thanks so much for your videos, love watching them!

Cargo tunnels are not always Single track, there are countless examples around the world with two tracks, also at ports! The must have 2 tracks to the point where the 3 lines converge, Otherwise you will have too many backups.

[@emeliajohansson5527]

I'm so late i guess you wont notice this, but the the port and the cargo station was put there for a reason. What about an old closed cave/mine site in the mountain and old workers residents that now have been turned into fancy houses?

[@dan_czk9446]

You can allow/disallow cargo and passenger trains on tracks using TMPE.

[@hellabisys]

For the steep change in elevation between the coastal town and the plateau, maybe you could build a rail spiral, like the Raurimu Spiral! I think that could be a pretty cool build. Thanks for the series :)

[@auryngriffiths7401]

[@alyaanahmed814]

A main industrial hub for the city would be great around the outskirts of port and railway yard. A very densely pack industry!!

[@christianspecht2799]

You can also ban certain trains from tracks. I think TM:PE is needed for that. It does work the same way that it does for roads. That way you could ban cargo trains on station tracks or on short stretches of rail. That way you could have left the switch in.

[@gordo4055]

I was really triggered by the streetlights out on the outback road. When you get out there it'd be great if you add cattle grids, old dilapidated shearing sheds and some homesteads. Take a look at western NSW near Broken Hill or Cobar, there are massive open plains broken up with the occasional fence and cattle grid

[@pgmetcalf]

Looks good, is it possible to do passenger only train lines? I can see massive jams in the port area and an express rail line to the airport would be preferable. Love the line to Paterson. Where you were talking about putting the ore industry, I think I'd go for oil in that area personally. The reason being is that the land is flattish and on the coast and it just feels oily if you know what I mean. Plus you could have offshore rigging/drilling.

[@edwardmiessner6502]

When you build your airport or sooner may I suggest that you build a dense, older, slightly run-down urban suburb next to the cargo hub on the hill side of the highway. We have many examples of this in the United States such as Charlestown, Chelsea, East Boston and South Boston in and around Boston, MA. I would expect similar working class suburbs in Australia and New Zealand.

[@FinneganRiordan]

You said you hadn't decided on an industry for what I assume will be the Queensland inspired town. Considering it will probably resemble the Gold Coast, you could have a small film industry (depending on how big you want to make the town). If not tourism could be your best bet and you could place a mini reef out from the coast, as well as a resort or two. Just thought I would drop in a few ideas, as a Queenslander.
