Building the Perfect ONE TILE CITY in Cities Skylines!

Giving the classic One Tile City Challenge in Cities Skylines a go with a completely unique approach! Usually, it's all about fitting as many times as possible within a single in-game tile in Cities Skylines - but we're giving it a twist: It has to look beautiful and realistic, be somewhat functional - and we're only using vanilla assets, decals, and props! Additionally, lots of realism addons for more realistic and demanding traffic as well as population figures will provide an even more unique playthrough!

Whew.. This was a monstrous effort I would GREATLY Appreciate a LIKE and a COMMENT as it really helps out - thanks in advance Have you tried building on just a single tile, and if so - how did it turn out? Q&A including links to MODS and much more in the description down below! And extra content and often early-access to new videos on my Patreon: www.patreon.com/infrastructurist Hope you all have a great Weekend! Much love, Infra

[@abbu1980]

It turned out great. As a smoll tropical island dweller (1.19 km island, in Maldives) I enjoy these kinds of builds. Not so sure about usage of Coconut Trees near concrete though, I haven't seen them used as such in real life yet but in my home it fills the ground underneath with it's roots. It is so strong, during the last tsunami it was the only ones left standing in the sea shore. Would enjoy another episode of this with the detailing and final touch. Also, would definitely play on this map, if you upload it to workshop as a map. The beaches look awesome. Good Luck!

[@Gamma78.]

Thanks bro

How is it possible, that you can build a skyscrapper over another building? Is it a bug?

part 2 with more detailing would be great! Maybe you could try creating a small golf course area as well since rich ppl love golf and it fits the Florida vibe you're going for

[@Infrastructurist]

Cool idea, thanks! ☺

[@albinorhino6]

I would enjoy watching you add a harbour for private yachts, cruise ships, and pleasure boats. This island reminds me of Bermuda or Bahamas, and those places are teeming with boats. Maybe a small airport, if it’ll fit.

[@secritiveHalo]

This is the first video I've seen by you, and I gotta say, I'm impressed. I like your world-building, how you follow reality and give extra space and vehicles to buildings that don't actually need it, but it makes the city even more beautiful.

[@yaej]

i put about 1200 hours into c:s because i watched giant project videos that were very beautiful and i felt inspired to build a city just like them. i must say my cities never even touched builds like akruas's aurelia. i was very discouraged and often deleted all of my new cities within half an hour of creating them. however, after watching this video, i logged onto steam, downloaded probably a thousand assets from the workshop, launched c:s and finally created something i was proud of. thank you for making this video :D you're very talented

[@69dm]

1-tile cities is definitely my favorites. They feel so alive, like if you truly care about every single cim living here. I wish to see some built in mountain theme, like on top of snowy cliff, or in dry canyon.

[@okezie11]

Anyone else think the blank island with the tropical theme looks like the auto generated islands that you’d get on Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis?

[@Infrastructurist]

Hahaha - I just watched the first two jurassic parks movies recently, so I can imagine a few Velociraptors lurking in the tall grass!

[@CarolineLurks]

You asked where this island might be located and just this morning I was reading the news about Atlantis popping up in the Mediteranian Sea, due to lower sealevels; now it is supposedly so hot the sea is evaporating 😂 although it is clearly connected to the Atlantic ocean. So it's probably a hoax, but a funny one and it was the first thing that came to mind. I have been watching some of your videos since WhatDarrenPlays has mentioned you in his latest stream of his CS playthrough on KZbin. We (chat) made a suggestion that, according to himself, surpassed his knowledge of how the game works and made you an example of someone who does. He wasn't wrong! And because I love challenges this has been my favourite video so far. Yes, ofcourse I subscribed.

[@edgarang]

39:09 just wanna point out that the small fire engine is actually a correct scale. it's based on small japanese kei firetrucks.

[@jumpywizard7665]

That temperate climate meme at the beginning hit home with the summer we have in Europe 😂❤

[@Limoras]

That was a very nice little (although it isn't really small with this amount of details ;) ) project! My favourite part of the video were the transittion scenes at 1:21:35 . I just love high society single family homes neighborhoods :D Thank you for this nice video and the effort you put into this!!!! And to your question, i would not mind to see another episode on this island, but only if you want to and have fun with it :-)

[@Infrastructurist]

Thank you so much Limoras, glad you enjoyed it!

[@LactoseTheIntolerant574]

Okay, This BUT lots of islands. Each focused on different aspects like an island for fishing, one for industry, one for financial downtown, etc. just 1 square size. Each built to sustain the other. No outside connections

[@Infrastructurist]

That is a super cool suggestion - thanks! ☺

[@TheLoneWolf449]

You might as well have done it how you wanted it, and stopped pretending to be using the actual in game budget. I don't care that you cheat, just don't try to make it seam lie you aren't. You're great at designing cities that is why I watch you.

[@xAPPALACHIAx]

I've spent many years watching cities and skylines content and have somehow completely missed your stuff. But now that I've watched a couple of videos I really genuinely think you may be one of, if not the, best CS content creators.
