Relaxing views, easy music, excellent camera work and great work on public transport presentation through on-board announcements and colour coding. If all I can complain about is the lack of sound proofing for your suburbanites, then this has to be and excellent view.

the grade of the train line in the background at 2:28 is absolutely insane. There's no chance it would actually be able to climb that! Same goes for the grade of the tram line at 3:51. Way too steep.

At 2:28 there is no slope? Maybe it's the perspective... But at 3:51 you're absolutely right. I put the train line in there retroactively and couldn't get it right without building an unrealistically expensive bridge...

How is it possible that I've found your channel only now? This project is perfect! I have a question: what does your planning look like? Do you prepare some notes beforehand that you adhere to, or maybe draw sketches (in this case - based on what Maine looks like) or do you just plan your project on the go and let your imagination go wild while laying out roads? Cheers :)
@SolarCola3 жыл бұрын
I used to do some sketching beforehand for some of my cities but I have since stopped doing that, because I was generally happier with cities where I didn't plan it out too much. By now I have used the same system to plan for the last four cities: Step 1: select a 'theme'. I always want to make a city that has something special to it that I didn't do before. In this case, a relatively utopian city with lots of parks and low density housing, set in autumn Step 2: select a map. I selected Autumn Coast because of the autumn theme, and I did modify it a bit Step 3: do some research. Based on the theme, I thought of New England's famous red autumns and I choose Maine at random. Then I looked at satellite pictures and photos to get to learn the patterns. I didn't stick to them too closely, because it was a little too gridty, but still I tried to at least be influenced by the general layout Step 4: large scale planning. I browse the map in CS and draw invisible lines with my mouse where the big features roughly will go. Here will be a big park, here I will put a harbour, this will be the edge of the city Step 5: main routes planning. I draw invisible lines where motorways, trainlines and light rail will roughly go. Step 6: I select a neighbourhood to build and do step 4 and 5 on a much smaller scale: here I will put a park, this is the main road that connects this neighbourhood Step 7: I build the neighbourhood and adapt my plans as necessary, both small and large scale plans. They're not set in stone, for example in this city the city was originally supposed to be much smaller and have more farmland. Also the light rail was barely planned, I just wanted a light rail line through the first neighbourhood I build and every time it made sense to expand it further. repeat as necessary
