Beginner-Friendly American City with the NEW Patch! | Cities Skylines 2

[@Infrastructurist]

If you enjoy my content I would greatly appreciate a LIKE 👍 and a COMMENT 😁 for KZbin 'engagement' 🥳! Do you NEED mods to follow along? Not really, as most of my usage is just quality-of-life stuff - the simulation and economy isn't tweaked. In case you do want to be able to do all the things I do though, here are the essentials: ➡ To freely place growable buildings without them despawning, you will need Plop the Growables: mods.paradoxplaza.com/mods/75826/Windows - and if you don't want to use the devMode tools to find the buildings, but want the lovely sleek interface I use, grab the Find It mod and its two requirements: mods.paradoxplaza.com/mods/77240/Windows ➡ To freely place or tweak objects and ignore game boundaries that you otherwise have to enable in DevTools (such as placing trees anywhere you want), grab Anarchy: mods.paradoxplaza.com/mods/74604/Windows, and combine it with Move It for complete control: mods.paradoxplaza.com/mods/74324/Windows ➡ To place vehicles as props (such as the train cars I add to the railyards), grab the Vanilla Car Props Asset pack: mods.paradoxplaza.com/mods/82254/Windows ➡ To create custom roads, paths, traintracks etc, grab Road Builder: mods.paradoxplaza.com/mods/87190/Windows ➡ To specifically remove sub-elements (like the fences or hedges of parking lots or buildings), grab Better Bulldozer: mods.paradoxplaza.com/mods/75250/Windows That should cover the essentials - although the modding scene for Cities Skylines 2 seems to be growing quite fast! Hope you're all having a nice day

You should upgrade the windmills with solar panels.

i’m so high right now, but this video is actually one of the best i’ve ever seen. you just gave me so much inspiration to play cs2!!! i want my city to look exactly like yours. this is so emotional like im about to go to university for a masters in urban planning like i don’t know man this video is so good.

[@pogboom-mm]

same brother and ur right

[@Infrastructurist]

You seem to be going through a good ol' range of emotions. Thank you for the kind compliment and congrats on beginning a new chapter with your masters!

[@dpc2965]

I do the same thing sink a couple of bowls then think I can build anywhere close to him 😂😢

[@treyvon8358]

Now I’m going to get high and play CS2, your inspiration has now hit ME

[@Peaking-edits]

Infra cant wait for some Riverview again!

[@izzatsufian2796]

Infrastructurist has creating some of the dope masterpiece such as Riverview Megalopolis and Easthaven Metropolis❤️😎

[@user-wq9mw2xz3j]

4:13 disable Grid snapping only. Geometry snapping should be enabled to get it 100% in the middle

[@who_is_artis]

I tried to tell him recently, I think he's mentioning that fact in the video. I'm impressed that he still got it wrong😂

[@Infrastructurist]

> makes a "tutorial" > messes up grid-friendly road building approach - AGAIN In all fairness it all worked out hahahaha. WHere is Artis

[@Infrastructurist]

@who_is_artis HAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA ITS A MAD WORLD OUT HERE ARGGGGGGGGGREGEGEGEGE

[@georgidimitrov8270]

Actually the one that allows snapping in the middle of the road when it is of different width is disable "snap to cell length"

[@who_is_artis]

@@Infrastructurist ........it's okay buddy.. we all make mistakes...several times..

[@Thatguy-rs7gw]

These videos are always so relaxing!

[@tommeakin1732]

Firstly; great timing, I just got the game. But you know what I'd like as far as "guides" go? How to build a realistic small town/other small settlement, maybe then followed by how develop it, naturally, into a bigger settlement. I think it can be hard to scale everything to a smaller settlement. It's a much finer art than, say, master planning a city.

[@Infrastructurist]

That could be an interesting set of videos! Thanks!

[@thetinkerer1021]

Have to agree. What i really miss are Videos about small villages/towns. Lets say 6k - 12k people in real life.

[@homyitorgamez566]

Bumping up parking fares will be a pretty good idea to generate profit. Its also pretty realistic as where I'm from downtown parking while is plenty available it's expensive

[@e-bow]

Real good video for understanding the mechanics. One of the hardest parts of the game is knowing when to spend for growth and when to balance the budget. Enjoyable watch.

[@xamarel]

I ended up falling asleep to this about 4 different times, had to rewatch several times to get the whole story of ravensport 😂 Either way, really enjoyed this! Learned from your mistakes for starting my next city

[@pjb.1775]

Wow beginner friendly video from infrastructurist, whats this world coming to...

[@stevengalloway8052]

"Call up the bank and act real nice." Classic quote! 😆

[@Dekse_]

Altid lækkert med en ny video, især på en afslappet søndag. God jul!

[@Infrastructurist]

🎄🎄🎄🎄

[@AJL15N]

I love building on this map but I always have trouble starting, thanks for the video and the inspiration!

[@joshuawiggins3891]

was just talking to CPP about how much I love your videos and like me you go crazy with the detail always great content infa ya legend

[@Everie]

Infra! I think it'd be pretty cool to add a ship wreckage a little far from the coast using the ship prop. I would say that because of this sinking of a large ship, sailing in these waters has become somewhat fearful and many shipping companies decided to abandon the city during the 80s-90s, causing the decline of this city - as trains were replaced by ships at the beginning of the 20th century

[@Infrastructurist]

Cool idea! Could use mods to rotate it slightly to make the placement realistic

[@Everie]

Two hour video? Hold my mic and grab my coffee, I've got a very important online event to attend to about city building presented by the Infrastructurist :D

[@muhammadarqab7130]

I am excited that you are going to consider the financial management aspect! ✨

[@chadattenborough2241]

I watch all of your videos. You have no idea how helpful this one is. Your cities always look so cool and realistic but when I try I never quite get the feel right. This blueprint helps so much with getting the scale and texture right. Thank you for this tutorial!

[@Infrastructurist]

Thank you for the kind words, glad it helped!

[@vaenson]

Nice beginner-friendly friendliness :) ... i started recently a collection map where each new district covers one of your videos , thx a ton for your great work!

[@reinham]

Awesome video! Now let’s see East Haven County get that complete downtown!

[@RMutt-fj1sz]

Excellent video. I really appreciated the drama of it all! Might be nice to revisit Ravensport again in the future - for when you have mod downtime after updates - it can be your Vanillaville.

[@jevans84]

Can’t believe this video came when it did, I was just lamenting that the vanilla path didn’t let you start with a train station and that I was going to go with an unlocked build + economy so it’s great to see it work. Honestly one of my fav vids, I love seeing vids that have to work with the economy.

[@Infrastructurist]

Thanks! It annoys me a bit that we have to reduce our cash reserve by placing a bunch of fancy buildings at first and deleting them. It feels so gamey. Just let me pick my starting funds, please!

[@tigonologdring9189]

Love rail, obviously, but those railyards... maybe connect them up using single twoway track and not double track just to reduce the daft spaghetti it generates. They look really nice with the props on them though. Nice to see it's not only me that has that "Oh my!" stage too LOL. Looking forward to a follow-up or two!

[@matthewgambeski1443]

But can you get jacked here?

[@danonck]

How does your zoning look better than my hand placement of buildings is beyond me😂 I just got CS2 and have a long way to go before my cities look nice. Especially struggling with a realistic road layout which always seems to come instinctively to you!

[@altonday224]

it's not a new infra city if there isn't at least one road call daffodil.

[@who_is_artis]

Daang Infra, 2 hour video. This could be a week-long watch 😄 But it's good that you're trying new things in a way! I'm sure many people will appreciate a video like this

[@Infrastructurist]

Hahahahah, yeah there are plenty of 10-min segments to fall asleep to! Unless its the part where I mess up the grid zoning layout. That will give you nightmares Artis

[@KristianNordli]

Oh, no! I'm staying over 2 hours past my bedtime! Nooo😅

[@TheJorsy]

Infra you can snap to the middle of the road if you disable snapping to cells.

[@TheMoose271]

Love the content as always

[@chuckleberrypieceofpie]

Hey infra just an fyi in the bucket tool the second button allows you to replace surface with another with one click.

[@muhammadarqab7130]

Ooh, another video! Goodie! 🔥✨

[@yannisantokas3753]

Bro dont sleep on Office, cities are not only reliant on industry, always there have been a lot of offices in the city, travel agencies, logistics, sales department, financial advisors and looots of other companies, reduce the tax to 9 and get that office profit going. 3 Blocks of office produce as much money as an industry half your city size, especially when leveled. Everything above 10 % drives your office copanies out of the city. Great Build though!

[@iea96]

TWO HOURS?!?!!! 🫨

[@Infrastructurist]

I am an obsessed man

[@mh060168]

Hi, thanks as always. Amazing how realistic you made things even in almost vanilla. Unless you added them as part of the detailing sections and I missed it, I think that you would have benefited from a few extra parks to raise happiness and therefor population uptake. Were the couple next to the school the only ones you added?

[@torbenvoigtolsen4790]

Infra you forgot fjordholm

[@matthew._gural]

Love this new city looks so americanly amazing lol😍 Can you do some new videos on Riverview? Personal favorite

[@Islamtanhawa7y]

Keep going❤ US cities are full of parking and endless suberb houses.

[@wutt5176]

This is the most American city I have seen because he was taking loans to keep the city alive

[@FigureInMind]

Hopefully there is a part 2 and 3 and 4.

[@saishshirodkar6297]

We probably will considering the USA region pack is coming. I'm surprised we got this before that.

[@Morkeoth]

Well, you're first Infra ... But you're cheating ! ;) So ... FIRST !

[@TJusnow]

I really can’t wait for the USA East and West region packs. Sucks that we have to wait at least 2-3 months for them.

[@itsvichere]

35:45 its fine, do it the american way

[@DaaLyr1cGuy]

What map are you using

[@Rainman97x]

What song is playing at 1:52:25?

[@Pluton1709]

0:48 how did you remove this money

[@kaarthikeyanss2333]

I love u bro. Ur voice is just is too gud 🤌♥️

[@user-wq9mw2xz3j]

I mean I love the empty cul de sacs, but I dont get the point of the others, they are 100% as normal roundabout? They should add parking to cul de sacs

[@pogboom-mm]

13:10 thats an actual bug? i knew i werent just stoned everytime i thought id selected it

[@LucasVidalLopez]

how are your mods still working after the update? did you do something to fix them? please tell me!

[@AdrianaSanpere]

What is the mod for the Zoning toggle whiteness? It so much easier to see the zoning colors than in my game!

[@MostLostNoob]

You'll probably want the combination of the Toggle Overlays & the Zone Color Changer mods.

[@35drm07]

Can we get 2 diff city in one episode

[@TacosTuesdays]

I hate that the typical American city looks like something on the East Coast. I know that the East Coast has more history and population, but like where im from Denver, you can't make anything that looks like it in Cities.

[@user-wq9mw2xz3j]

Well honestly with the current low residential assets, it doesnt look really like anywhere in the US or world. But there is an East Coast "region" asset pack coming. Wont include everything of course

[@jevans84]

The assets definitely work for where I am in Arvada where there are a lot of ranch homes but yeah you don’t get the lovely smaller houses on the outskirts of the city nor do you see any row houses here.

[@drjonritz]

So, I use shadows to let me know what's north on my maps...

[@tdbruin5742]

Does anyone have tips on how to run the game smoothly. I have tried to lower my graphics and everything I found online seems to be directed towards people who have older graphics cards or are under specs. I have no problem with the game when I am zoomed out, however as soon as I zoom in it is terrible. I have a 4070, 64gb ram and I7 13k. If anyone knows a fix to this that would be greatly appreciated.

[@historify-x1z]

PLAY WITH THE GERMAN PACK BERGTHAL

[@RyanBabic-wx3io]

No depot no reason to turn on the railroad station.

[@drjonritz]

Profit is a result of progess

[@antar0x706]

How can I get 9 tiles for free? I cannot get them for free can you help me please

[@historify-x1z]

pl

[@thefockewulf1999]

is it worth it to buy cities 2? I really enjoy Cities 1 and play it vanilla (only mod I use is all Tiles Mod) Plus most DLC. I like making really realistic cities with plenty of design.
