Cities Skylines 2: City Building made EASY!

[@tknoff87]

The rule of thumb max slopes for high speed roads >50 mph is 5% but lower speed roads

[@timposter]

I love how you add a little story to the streets and buildings before you build them. It just looks 10 times better.

[@keeblebrox]

I haven't preordered a game in ages, since the golden days of John Bain advocating for consumer rights. Until today, that is. Colossal Order and Paradox's marketing and the prerelease videos from yourself and other creators has given me confidence that the team is focused on delivering the game I've been hoping for. It feels like CO really learned from the list of most popular mods for the original Cities: Skylines to build in quality of life features that everyone can benefit from, regardless of their technical abilities. Rambling aside, I love watching you build cities, YUMBL.

[@popquizzz]

Was that a YUNBL freakout that mimicked a Bill O'Reilly tantrum? You're the BEST, thanks for the content!

[@canadianmooseplays]

I could listen to you talk aboot literally anything! I would love to see a proper series from you something like new market in the future but also tutorials on how to not suck at building interchanges haha Thanks for all the amazing video yumbl your content is just so damn good eh

[@YUMBL]

Thanks dude, I think I’ll be able to make your wildest dreams come true. I’m glad you’re doing youtube too. Hope to see some major detailing from you when the game allows ;)

[@2KXMKR]

26:45 You pretty much just summed up my entire city. We have main arteries connecting major highways to the city center and they're just two-lane streets. It's complete chaos.

[@stevekluth9060]

Thanks for the video. It will definitely help me when we all get to play CS2 especially when you explain details like during your interchange build. I liked placing the Mixed Use downtown because that's what so many pre-WWII downtowns look like. I believe Light Commercial usage has a distance component. People don't drive downtown to get milk or gas up their car. A few scattered Light Commercial buildings amongst the sprawl should fix the demand.

[@aboriani]

The not enough costumers on all those commercial buildings is probably a bug/balance issue

[@aaronlaw97]

Or it could be that residents aren't going to those businesses because they can't reach them, and the lack of local businesses for those peeps is raising commercial demand everywhere else.

[@sapincher]

Not enough fursuits

[@bjroo]

yeah because every single creator has had that problem

[@robc2581]

I'm wondering if it is a lack of parking

[@aboriani]

[@oddcool1]

I've been playing cities skyline 1 in anticipation for this nr. 2 game. And something that i'm noticing that would be really good and practical to be able to control is: being able to control the available zoning area and if you want zoning on either sides of the road or no zoning at all. Or any of the four options.

[@Pystro]

My game has been giving me that for about half a year or so. It's a small button with "road and zoning squares on both sides" symbol. I don't now if it came with a vanilla update or if it's from fine road tools/anarchy or any of my other mods. Or are you saying that it's a good C:S1 option that would be nice to have in C:S2?

[@sapincher]

There is a mod for exactly that, though I can't tell you exactly what it is because I ended up with it after one of the "Shit, CS updated, how I make it work now?" things. I'm pretty sure it's Zoning Adjuster 1.6 on the workshop.

[@Pystro]

@@sapincher I think I don't have zoning adjuster installed. At least it doesn't show up in my steam subscriptions. I would guess that you get the functionality with fine road tools or road anarchy.

[@NikoleiBellic]

Love the storytelling.

[@bul-le-bac4336]

YUMBL is the Bob Ross of Cities Skylines

[@ShadowWolfTJC]

Personally, I think that diamond interchange near the beginning of the video could've been a single-point urban interchange, presumably for better traffic flow.

[@davidroddini1512]

Exactly what I was thinking

[@Nightshade-dh9fm]

I've seen a lot of people voice concerns that they don't like the season system specifically winter because it makes building harder, but I'm just like, yeah! that's realistic! . You don't see many construction projects during the winter, at least here in Montana lol, so when I play, winter is just going to be a time for me to slow down and really look at my city, watch traffic, see what needs to be improved come springtime. I really like the season system, it feels like it's going to force a different way of playing, in cs1 you could just masterplan your entire city, hit fast forward and let everything grow, giving minor tweaks here and there. Now it seems like it's an environment where you can play much more slowly and intentionally and watch your city grow organically and I'm all for that.

[@YUMBL]

You should be able to see what you’re doing no matter what is happening in the game. Not being able to see is not part of the game or the seasons system.

[@Nightshade-dh9fm]

@@YUMBL is it just the zoning lines you can't see? If so, I'm fine with that because my point was you shouldn't be building in the winter if we're being realistic so you wouldn't need to zone anyway. I also understand realistic isn't always the most fun, so is there a way to toggle seasons? That way those who don't like winter could turn it off. If not, that should definitely be added. Or maybe the lines could change color to give max visibility 🤔

[@teoornelas]

I'm very happy you're posting again! Your builds are the best

38:36 "ARE YOU NOT INTO CRANES?"

[@fieryphoenix586]

I feel like the moment I finally play this game, all my knowledge of Cities Skylines will vanish and I'll just be staring at an empty valley trying to figure out what I'm gonna do first.

[@cmdr_stretchedguy]

For radio masts 27:30 I've found from other beta streamers that the initial coverage circle does not reflect the radius once placed. They have shown that a mast on higher elevation means increased coverage radius once placed. Also the add on modules help greatly expand the radius too.

[@YUMBL]

Once placed it shows the coverage of the tower you just placed COMBINED with that of a second unplaced tower regardless of elevation.

[@thereal_onelargemammal]

I love the start...A lack of labour in the industrial area, you must have a city full of Gen Z's and Millennials. I bet if you built some KZbin studios or a Google HQ it'd fix the labour shortage. haha 🙂 great vid

[@sapincher]

They said the same stuff about Gen X during the 90s - Buckley was THE Gen X trope back then in King of the Hill. Generational warfare is not the way to go. Every generation can see themselves superior when compared against teenagers.

[@pinolaviero2264]

28:20 I think the tower just needs a bit of empty space around it to have a bigger range, in real life these towers are always in the middle of an empty field in my experience. So I don't think it's about bandwidth being soaked up but the building just needing a bit of empty space to send and receive signals without anything blocking them

[@themodwiththedirt3758]

Another piece of fantastic content

[@eavan76]

this is good vid to show how to know the new tools and mechanics❤

[@XEyedN00b]

Please put biscuit-style roundabout into the original interchange

[@simongeard4824]

Yeah, I can think of a lot of major roads in my city which are residential. As you say, they're mostly old roads... the routes that connected the scattered towns which eventually merged together into a city. Not always old houses, though... these days there's also a fair amount of new-ish mid-density, because people are willing to put up with a bit of noise in exchange for cheap housing with good transit access.

[@Sviatoslav_The_Brave]

32:22 Wow these lag spikes are brutal and on speed 1 too. No wonder they delayed the game on the consoles. So that we, PC players, could playtest it for them. I see a clear trend nowadays with bad optimization. Every big game this year came out badly optimized and some are still that way.

[@samskleibrok2023]

Optimization seems to be more of an afterthought with most larger games 😕

[@kevinmccarthy2793]

Why optimize when you can just up the GPU requirements to a 4070?

[@Sviatoslav_The_Brave]

@@kevinmccarthy2793 To quote Todd Howard: “It’s running great. It is a next-gen PC game. We really do push the technology, so you may need to upgrade your PC for this game. But it’s got a lot of great stuff going on in it, and the fans are responding awesome.”

[@phipschi4255]

The game seems to be very nice. I pre-ordered it because i enjoy CS1 a lot. I hope they will fix the grid system for angled corners.

[@glenm99]

For the full/empty school dilemma, is that where the district idea comes in handy? Does it designate a catchment? I don't think it worked like that in C:S 1, but the "Create a district" button right on the school info window is suggestive.

[@YUMBL]

I’ll probably do districts when the city is a bit bigger

[@jrw0707]

“You can’t park there mate”. Anyone that hasn’t seen that video needs to take a break and type that into KZbin.

[@kutilmartin]

[@cf453]

Well, that was enjoyable and calm. Looking forward to more. My one complaint with CS2 is that the color palette is very brown and grey. I like my games a bit cartoony and color-saturated--It adds a bit of cheer. OK, second complaint: That "twitter" analog needs to die.

[@PhoenixWwrong]

I really hate upscaling. But it seems like it's a necessary thing in cs2. Like the location seems to become less ideal for low density over time. Do you think it's possible to play without upscaling?

[@YUMBL]

I suppose just as real cities do we have to make changes over time.

[@dialog_box]

[@saucyllama1463]

"I love the thing..." - YUMBL 2023

[@cmdr_stretchedguy]

Let the schools demand exceed slots by 10% or build residential further away from school coverage. This leaves a buffer so there are always uneducated to work the factories and commercial. The high residential demand once built should help resolve the low customers popups.

[@2080ti]

Looking good!

[@davidroddini1512]

How difficult is it to make an inverted SPUI in CS2?

[@teambellavsteamalice]

How do you do it? You seem to wing everything and just casually add stuff you fancy. Still somehow, it works. I couldn't do that, I'd need to plan and measure everything! But then I'd probably want an utopian version of a city, probably not realism as a priority. And being Dutch and not having or planning to ever have a car, my standards are high! I also like some nifty tricks or patterns and see if they work. I like the idea of arteries and collectors without zoning with streets long them. Ringroads or superblocks are cool too. Left over space, whole strips in between in between big roads might not be very realistic, but I'd definitely plan for future trams, metro and trains.

[@taffypride1983]

Are you going to be updating your Junction Tutorials for CS2 please? 🙂

[@alp763]

I am genuinely concerned with non-existing traffic, empty roads. City looks dead. Where I live even a village with 1000 people always have something going on on the roads, and there is always small congestion on the way on to highway. I am not gonna buy thig game if it does not have traffic. Building a galaxy of roads just for zoning is no fun.
