Building a BIG CITY with SPECIALIZED INDUSTRY in CITIES: SKYLINES 2! | Linden #2

[@ConflictNerd]

As was the case with the first Cities: Skylines II gameplay video, this one is limited to thirty minutes - so there's a few hops around the city here and there to try and show you as much of everything I worked on as I possibly can! Sometime shortly after the game launches I'll make a bonus video going in and looking more in-depth at everything that wasn't shown in that first video, this one, and the upcoming third episode too! Enjoy! :)

[@PurrfectMino]

Ahhh Cant whait:)

[@akr....]

City skyline is very famous in India

[@joca1378]

I think the hospital would never be that close to a railway or roads packed with cars :D

[@dharanidhanya5993]

Kindly place many parking lot more

[@felixmckeown7302]

Get trams they can acctully go through rounderbouts and taxis accutly work!

[@saad_ghannam]

Please keep this city going after release

[@joserosa5342]

I think that will be not possible. Its just a beta.

[@noob.168]

I think some of the planning was rushed too much. Start over.

[@dhdagaming3888]

nah, this city sucks

[@85Y]

the city planning in this episode?@@noob.168

The way I nearly lost my mind when you slid that intersection over the highway and placed it. It seems like they've really reduced a lot of the more tedious aspects of CS 1 and replaced them with far cooler problems like the bottlenecks and the car crashes. I can't wait to see this game in all it's glory

[@humorpalanta]

TBH at that point I almost came. That was just amazing. The other great happiness was at the cargo train placed over the road. That is just magnificent.

@@humorpalanta Funny seeing you here. Hope life treats you well, old forumite o7

[@humorpalanta]

@@FerrowTheFox Thank you very much. Can't wait the release and life is fairly okay. Hope you are doing at least as good :)

[@FerrowTheFox]

@@humorpalanta I'm doing okay as well, thank you. And yes looking forward to it, too!

[@redneckturtle771]

I love that the developers have decided to make buildings larger. Buildings were definitely not realistic before.

[@buff4bcs]

Of course we continue Linden City!

[@marquisyip9994]

Thank you for letting us have another look of Cities 2 :) I think it generally looks good! Though for me personally still a few points I would like to see improved - - It seems that all urban roads come default with street parking, which makes them unnecessarily wide! That's why you have had to demolish some houses when upgrading the 2-lane roads to 4 lanes @5:15, when technically the existing road should have enough space for 4 lanes without on-street parking. I wish they would let us choose to build urban roads without street parking in the first place. - While the seasonal effects are rather nice overall, I think some key details are missing... like all trees (not only conifers) still have their leaves on, and the road surfaces don't look wet enough! Hopefully this will get sorted out in actual release... - I wish they would let us build freeform parks, or fillers between buildings. That's actually a very nice feature I remembered from Cities XL. It makes sense that buildings and structures are more squarely oriented in real life, but parks and green spaces definitely come in may irregular shapes... That would make it so much more realistic! - Another visual detail - the pillars on the elevated railway are much too far apart! They are, to quote the 2nd official stream of Cities 2, "suspended by faith"... Hopefully things will still get polished before release! Also I discovered and subscribed to your channel because of Cities 2, so that's the first good thing that came out of it for now :) Looking forward to your next video!

[@fozzylozzy1131]

That intersection attaching to existing highways is amazing... they are blowing me out of the park with all these cool features. One thing i would like is better zoning around curved roads, it would allow for more interesting looking neighbourhoods and housing

[@andyafterlife94]

My one complaint is that snow isn’t on roads or trees , apart from that it looks so good , I can’t wait!

[@SomethingSomewhereJustOnce]

It's an incomplete game. Biffa (City Skylines KZbinr) said in his video that the feature exists in the game but they haven't enabled it in these builds yet. Might be that they are still working on it. Biffa is one of the guys who made one of the cities for the CS2 trailer.

[@marchernandez4596]

Or rooftops.

[@fredosinsemilla3896]

When trees are full of snow and there is full moon, I like to go out at night and smoke a fat joint. Getting stoned and feeling like I'm in the middle of a black-white movie. It's a great feeling.

[@TheJimmyJ57]

Not the car driving through a motorcyclist in the first 10 seconds of gameplay HAHA

[@UFDFNaruto]

This is such a minor detail...but at 1:10 i love that when you removed the roads, the cars just didn't vanish, they drove off the grass and back onto the road

[@Cheesedream]

11:30 I love those premade highway ramps! One of the must haves in CS1 from the community.

[@Kymerahx]

I cant wait! I wanna play this game so bad! Im totally gonna create a dystopian hellscape, but you know maybe ill gove them clean water.

[@IgneousKaiser]

Whoa bro, clean water might be pushing it

[@Kymerahx]

@@IgneousKaiser I know I'm making radical choices here.

[@perkyraid9089]

thats a big maybe ya know 😅

[@cathmorr89]

I always love a new city. If you have in mind a way you would have done it differently, I would say to start over. If you plan to start similarly, just keep with it.

[@1goldgaming233]

Yes Absolutely continue Linden!

[@crack5779]

This game looks beautiful, thank you for the wonderful video

[@kimballbaer4064]

My jaw dropped when I saw you place that intersection! That is such an a mazing addition and makes intersections a million times easier!

[@bmendez3782]

24:58 wait hold up so not only you can put metros above roads, but commuter railways as well? wow holy shit i was not expecting that all meaning i thought they were gonna leave it the way it was like in the first when they didn't go on roads since they dont do so in real life.

[@Fraggon]

am I missing something? is there no 3rd part? :(

[@lucasbuosi5755]

I absolutely love the size of the power plants, its more real, CS 1 power plants were so little, jesus, so far CS 2 is espetacular

[@somearmeddude]

Thank you ConflictNerd and Paradox (the company that made city skylines) I am super hyped! Also loved how you added internet. Also just a possibility or in a DLC can you add light pollution? Also please make the game where you don’t rely on mods or DLC’s that cost hundreds. Edit: To avoid confusion. I am asking Paradox interactive to do it if they see this comment.

[@Bartek-zz9rk]

I just adore fact that when you remove a rode, cars are stopping, waiting for a while (you can almost hear tiny "what the f*") and than slowly going back to still existing roads :D

[@stevekirkby6570]

Loving the trains - but for realism, you need to look into minimum turning radii; its about 650m for a trains doing 75 - although can come down to about 350 in a shunting yard. Higher speeds need a bigger radii - just giving an ide here a 250 mph high speed 'super train' (think japan) needs a radius of 7km !!!! :) I know its, confusing using mph and meters in the same sentance, but you get my drift.

[@cathydrew2569]

Oh my goodness! That is absolutely fabulous that you don't have to demolish your road to add the new intersections. Yay!!!

[@phildiop8248]

I'm definitely going to get the intersection advancement at the very end. It's useful and all, but building them yourself is like a big part of the game, and custom interchanges on bend highways or on limited amount of space are the most organic and nice looking.

[@Its_Cheese2]

Conflictnerd: i have no money! Also conflictnerd: *buldozes half of the industry*

[@Aprill264]

You should absolutely continue with this city after release.

[@rynezuzinec688]

LOVE THE NEW INTERCHANGES!!! This was always a gripe of mine, even with mods in CS1, to get them to align!

[@eyescansee9848]

To be completely honest with you man, as much as I really, really enjoy watching you build the city, I would never want you to be my mayor/city planner lmao.

[@warmstrong5612]

The one big pet peeve I had about CS1 was that trains were treated like wooden roller coasters in that you'd always see people lay ridiculous track grades. I tried to keep the track as flat as possible and orient the roads around the track. Steep inclines just looked wrong and broke immersion for see.

[@afacelessname1378]

I'm always a big fan of fresh starts. Learn from your mistakes and make whole set of new ones as you go.

[@bradhaughton6698]

Watching you build your city there is one thing I noticed that you constantly do with your city every time you build a new service it like you box it in and not think about possibility of expansion in the future that's the only negative I see but everything else is fine

[@loolleel4212]

For carrying on the city, id say start over if there's things youd do differently. As I assume once the full game comes out they wouldve let you get to the last milestone.

[@Plut0-YT]

Looks like 3km of row houses, must be annoying for the kids being friends and living on the wrong street when they're going to visit eachother

[@Icedmindblow]

I'm super hyped about the mixed use zoning, it's something I've been yearning for since like... SC2000 😂 having to keep business and residential separated always hurt my soul. SC2013 gave us something "similar" (but not) with the big towers but yeah, let's not talk about that game. Can't wait for this beaut to drop for all of us!

[@WorldsTimeLapse]

they managed to implement row housing but didn't think about implementing large scale row housing for city centers smh

[@n7creed629]

Loving the new city/game

[@Erobazai]

I got to say that i had an awful day today and you really made it better with some more cs2 gameplay. I just love the way the intersection works now

[@8eewee]

Really liking how large buildings are now, it feels way more realistic. The first game feels more like a testbed with all the QoL additions they've added so far.

[@marinatedbeefcubes]

now i'm more excited and somewhat overwhelmed with the telecoms and other buildings for the post office! cant wait for the modders to make crazy buildings for these

[@RAI-1911]

Continue it please :) It would be cool to have passenger train run along the elevated railways too

[@tmg7476]

You're going through a period of trial and error. While in that mode, I'd say keep this city going. When you feel that you are familiar with the progression and tools (where you don't have to do so much destruction in order to continue), start a new city.

[@azragarn9378]

Loving the videos, one thing i see a number of streamers that have access are not doing (not sure if available) is parking lots / stations. They pushed in one of the dev videos on AI patching choice how having adaquet parking available changes how they path

[@aCodingMonkey]

Just keep going on this city! Its awesome so far and would love to see how it turns out

[@kaligath6616]

Small playground next to a dog park the pitbulls will be happy.

[@mephInc]

If your town is small (like mine irl), you'll end up with a mailing address to a different (larger) town and they handle your mail. My town also has no police or fire department. County cops and volunteer fire.

[@MakeItSo-ThisIsME]

Great video Dylan! I think one of the first Mods will be an Auto-Tree Growth Selector, or something along those lines.

[@Magnymbus]

internet coverage and road maintenance... that's a lot more realism than I expected. That's the sort of stuff games overlook.

[@NYCamper62]

I think if it wasn't for the restrictions then continue. Well alot of us are enjoying prerelease builds as tutorials. Nice work.

[@nickcollins2001]

I like how the city is coming. It’s as good a start as any.

[@marines532]

You should do two CSII series. Continue this one and then have another series with everything learned to make things more interesting

[@joserosa5342]

I really love that the scale of buildings compare to the environment is very realistic. Love it!!!!

[@nidhishgokhool2499]

Try building some parking to reduce the amount of cars parked on the roads! That might help with the traffic

[@Vahvajussi]

Damn, this game looks so amazing! That intersection insertion, wow.

[@dijikstra8]

The gated community policy is not like the old town policy. The old town policy simply banned cars from people who did not live there, the gated community policy bans anyone who doesn't live there. They are a thing so I guess perhaps it's justified that they're there, but it's a terrible practice that separates the wealthy from everyone else.

[@michaelpohl348]

Keep going on this city!

[@santhis3822]

I like your overall build except the row housing

[@Amandaleenyc]

Please continue this city!!!

[@Dichuz91]

Did anyone else look at the area he is gonna put town hall and have your brain go "You know, that space kinda looks like the state of Nevada"?

[@jasonsarfine445]

5 seconds in and the motorcycle rider is dead

[@Mik-us6fl]

Pleeeeease keep this going!! I've been building along lol

[@Rolanda-Doe.1126]

Yes, continue

[@spirantus8962]

I want to play this so bad 😲 Just a few more weeks

[@DeadGuyOnTheBus]

I hope they fix the snow effects by release. Green trees, and snow avoiding every city placed building is kinda jarring atm. Thought you were in an overlay view mode

[@Tchelow]

It was really enjoyable to watch this build. As always your city layout is start to come together and it’s getting very interesting. Can’t wait the next part 😊

[@rigsofrodsmaster]

12:00 Todd Howard would be proud

[@FabienLhermitte]

I learn the basic of SC1 years ago with you

[@grumpiesttitan7930]

Continue please

[@bobauft6462]

Start a new city with some thought of placement of City Hall and other important city buildings at the beginning of the game.

[@Amaqse]

Can i just point out an elephant in the room, the official CS2 videos presented the game as incredibly graphicaly advanced and so beautiful it rivals cgi, however the more you look at this video the more it looks like cities skylines 1 with mods.

[@NYlocked]

Like the game but think most buildings is very gray/dark, had been nice if you was able to change the colour on buildings of your choice. Also the lack of models of service buildings, guess mod assets will help with that but should be more vanilla choices from start.

[@Lucas_Antar]

If you played vanilla CS when it came out you'd notice that there isn't a lack of city service models.

[@woodski2855]

Not sure if its ever been stated but how is the optimization of the game so far?

[@vaughnbrenda8228]

Does parking or lack of parking add or subtract to the citys quality? Or is it visual

[@patrickbennett439]

Wouldnt it be hilarious to see TRT clinics in skylines 2?

[@skyzbluzz6584]

I think building a train track next to a hospital is wrong because they just need peace. Am I the only one who thinks that or others too?

[@SonOfMuta]

0:11 The car phasing through the motorcycle... I see the traffic AI is still shit

[@GihaOhsa]

Excitement replaced fear until the final moment.

[@brokenserenity01]

im loving how this city is forming so sure continue post release :)

[@quangthangnguyen7272]

I love this city

[@subbtopp]

dont mind what you do , as long as you do it with your energy and enthusiasm. x

[@philipkalin1928]

I can‘t wait to finally play this game for myself

[@Dalinu]

Defenestrate Cities Skylines. Cities Skylines II is the game now.

[@tanel20]

I watched this because I wanted to see a big farming area around the city but great video anyways

[@tatsumisu3449]

god this makes me want to buy this game so much with the economic change they made

[@cmdr_stretchedguy]

Love the ADHD... lets start with Ore and Farming, oh squirrel.... doesn't even touch it (aside from the small little wood farm) despite being in the video title lol

[@AlbertKlinger]

yes continue

[@perkyraid9089]

Detailing is gonna be crazy once modders get the fundamental down! lol. I’m expecting a prop tool on launch and thatll be the first mod i download until it’s officially in the game.

[@anonymous5269-w3s]

Start a fresh city after the game gets released, please ❤

[@AdamHinckley]

you should continue it as you got this far with this city

[@patrickbennett439]

I want high speed China trains!

[@cogthrone9312]

i love the upgrade system in this game but i cant lie the hospital looks kinda dumb. at least from a European perspective.

[@pontushaggstrom6261]

the finished city with the snow looks like straight out of the soviet union

[@dream-kz8zu]

im so dang excited for this game, just don't know if my laptop can handle it

[@princemorgan3983]

Can't wait for more

[@sauloborges1377]

can anyone else see a microchip on the graveyard or is it only me? I cant wait to se what other styles this game is going to have post lauch

[@augustohofmann7286]

Will the trees turn during fall?

[@theoptimisticmetalhead7787]

Perpendicular was the word you were looking for

[@flighttwentyone]

I know they said the map is huge, but does anyone else think that it takes more room to get less people now? And the colors of everything just seems muted and dull, especially the grass and roads.

[@shannonparkhill5557]

But is your power flowing well to outside connections?

[@jerrychandra9901]

Can you please create like parking lots too. Seems like all cars are parked on the roads

[@alexabramiuk]

The difficulty level of Cities Skylines 2 feels too easy to me, judging by what I can see now.
