Cities Skylines - Fluxburgh [PART 12] "Cookie-Cut Suburbs"

[@efeismetbag7611]

thank you youtube for recommending this brilliant youtuber after 4 years...

[@signofmars]

I would definitely consider moving the farming out to the furthest reaches of the city! It seems like you have equal portions of downtown, medium density, and suburbs at the moments, when suburbs normally would take up the entire outer ring of your city and the farms/forestry out in the the countryside. That's just a recommendation though, you have a pretty clear plan of what you want to do already and it looks fantastic overall!

[@Odysseusfields]

Maybe you should disconnect the water from the grid and give them their own power permanently that way the water never shuts off for any reason.

[@AbleAnderson]

I wanna meet the man, the myth, the legend....who came up with the name "Stock Grove" hahaha. I love it

[@Bondubras]

You should remove the power lines leading to your pumps. With the wind turbines, the only needed connection is for water, which you already have. Something similar would also work really good with the sewage area...

[@fxmuenchen]

You should name the little energy district with the nuclear power plant "Curie" or anything Curie-related in honor of Marie Curie :P

[@matttoohalfl7236]

Or tesla, Or edison, or something to do with Einstein as his power source is nuclear fission hahah

[@dziiredusk9979]

You mean fusion?

[@TheJonoSel]

Dziire Dusk No fission. Fusion power is unfeasible right now

[@dziiredusk9979]

I'm a dutch student so i dont really know the english terms. So fission is the way to get energy out of uranium? And fusion?

[@fxmuenchen]

Liam Halford fair enough. but marie curie is a bit closer linked to nuclear power than tesla, edison or einstein

[@SDThondas]

Flux you're definitely one of the top KZbinrs for CS, if not the top one. It's great the way you plan things out explain why you did what you did, whilst makng everything look really good as well. Others just create chaos and then it's damage control for a bunch of videos, which isn't enjoyable to watch honestly. I really enjoy this series and I use pointers learned here on my own cities. Great vids and thanks :-)

[@GalaxyNewsTelevision]

Consider yourself lucky, when I was attempting to figure out how to get dam's to work I failed to realise the sewage had backed up into the pumping system due to the current change When I finished I went back to my city and I'm like "why is everybody dead"

[@SDThondas]

The exact same thing happened to me on my first attempt at this game. Let's just say it became a save point for my new city. Definitely wasn't worth saving...

[@kowloonbeats3509]

Hahahahah, I wouldve want to see your face

[@OrionTekken]

Love this series!

[@curtismcdonald1942]

I always get excited when I see a new episode

[@YouKnowS]

curtis mcdonald me too

[@fouwiimedia5347]

You could the name the little energy offshoot "Chernobyl"

[@SnowfeetUS]

FouwiiMedia Then maybe the backup power could be "Shadow of Chernobyl"

[@TransTaey]

Haha, then we need some place named S.T.A.L.K.E.R

[@buzzcutbuttheck3942]

Call the town shock vill or something

[@phonyshoemaker7379]

FouwiiMedia Too soon.

[@SImmons3128]

FouwiiMedia or Prypiat

[@fearino]

As usual, great music selection at the start of the video. I love how you built the bridge connecting the two districts and the cims start to utilize it immediately.

[@peanutbutters87]

I'm not sure if you have inner-district bus lines, but if you made those and have stops at the walkways going over the highways would be nice for the residents. Hopefully it would take a lot of inter-district-traffic off the streets.

[@r0bin_leech311]

and if there are any mountains you HAVE to name one Fluxpeak!

[@IdaAreIda]

I just started watching this series, and it is by far one of the best Cities Skylines series out on KZbin. Very professional and neat, I like this city!

[@176hamster]

Oh man, i thought of a great idea. Not sure if possible for a mod to do, but toll roads would be awesome. Like how there would be loads of traffic if you connected the cities by road. You could put a toll on that road, so people either pay the toll or they take the highway. That would be sick.

[@cookiegaming44]

+Broncosdude 18 someone needs to make a mod ASAP. I'LL CALL THE PRESIDENT

[@emma.marijn]

lucky you, im responding from 2018 and there are toll booths now :)

[@cRazYmonkeyi]

I can't stop watching your cities skylines videos, love them!

[@FridayNightFilmsCA]

So I've been kind of binge watching this over the past couple days and it really is probably the best youtube series out there- you should consider a career in GIS/Geomatics or Urban Planning. lol I actually worried about the nuclear risk when you were first building it. My suggestion would be to redesign the nuclear area. Consider building a small dam near the nuclear power plant and relocating a water pump to feed the nuclear power plant independently of the rest of the grid. Building a dam would do two things: 1- I think it would look cool aesthetically because it would create a reservoir that the water pump can source from. 2- it would produce enough power to not only power the water pump but also the police and fire stations independently from the rest of the grid. I would look into downloading fence mods and I know theres a mod for a 'security pole barrier' road gate. You could fence off this new security zone. Have the police station next to the entrance and the fire station next to the nuke. Add parking and maybe some substations and transformers. or security lighting Also theres a mod for a nuclear station that actually has steam coming out of the condensing towers. Nuclear power needs A LOT of water. You said it was kind of weird seeing a nuclear next to a river. Nuclear power generation is almost always next to massive bodies of water, look up Bruce Generation Station (currently the largest in the world.) The middle of nowhere on a huge lake. (no condensing towers cause CANDU design and the lake does the job of getting rid of waste heat) Keep ether a farm or greenbelt buffer zone from this sector. Awesome city! great series

[@FridayNightFilmsCA]

FridayNightFilmsCA suburb name: meadowlands

[@LaedusMcGonagall]

Was anyone in the beginning shouting, "Just put down another fucking source of power, stop babbling!"? I certainly was.

[@motorobin4318]

You might want to make some busstops at the new people bridges. The problem with goods can be solved by having more cargo trainstations (and more outsight connections).

[@jamesjohansen2]

Thanks for the pathway to shape zoning idea. It will make my suburbs much tighter.

[@IlijaStajic]

Definitely my favourite series for this game on KZbin! Keep up the awesome work :)

[@MightyHeracross]

Are you not planning on doing any heavy industrial areas? Although theyre gross, i do think they look nice in the game and id love to see how you could decorate one! Also, heavy industry will help with your cargo problem.

[@beastthegreatlegostopmotio9558]

This is the best city I’ve ever seen on city’s skylines

[@tulden1818]

The suburbs look disproportional with the city, I think you should have a lot more suburban sprawl if you're aiming for a bit of realism.

[@JoRosieQueen68]

The Greenpearl Valley is a perfect name for the farming zone!!!

[@JoRosieQueen68]

The Everlands Hill is a great name for a suburban zone!!!

[@paulvanryzin8553]

Great series man. Always love watching. Keep up the good work!

[@lorisdevits494]

Love this series

[@kinzer4329]

My city had an extreme power outage the day this video was put up!

[@linkshandig1]

Great episode, like youre foreward thinking. Realy got me hooked to see your city grow! Greetings and thumbs up from the Netherlands

[@rydy3957]

Green Acres is the place to be. Farm living is the life for me. Land spreading out so far and wide. Keep Manhattan, just give me that countryside. New York is where I'd rather stay. I get allergic smelling hay. I just adore a penthouse view. Darling, I love you, but give me Park Avenue.

[@r0bin_leech311]

Im a CO springs native what part are you from? i really enjoy your videos, and they inspire me to do new things in my city. keep up the awesome work!

[@discusFisch]

About the tree limit. As I understood right when you reach the limit you can delete the trees in the areas outside your city. After that you can add new trees inside your city again.

[@Rilo28]

the little montages you do are so cool haha

[@SbgamingTv]

The reason the fire trucks are taking the route that they are is because the station is inside the intersection and it doesn't look like the trucks can go through the intersection and can only leave right to turn around. To improve response time, I'd delete that stub road, or move the fire station so that they don't have to take such longer routes. I'd also put a turbine or two near your drainage pipes/water treatment plants so that they also get priority over other electricity customers, just so that in another emergency you don't get a sewage problem. I use a Logitech G510s for my keyboard, which uses their rubber dome switches. As much as I might like to use a mechanical keyboard, the mechanical switches are just too noisy for me for general use (even the quietest switches are still too loud), and not wanting to disturb those who might be around me, and even more so I wouldn't want to use it while recording. With that said, I've been using Logitech Keyboards for a long time, so they feel natural for me nonetheless.

[@yuratchkaplisetskys3063]

***** This.

[@TheMISTERLEGACYX]

+Jason Parker this is late, but your use of "This." Is so incorrect it's annoying.

[@yuratchkaplisetskys3063]

yourstripperadam Interestingly enough, that statement is ironic, considering you forgot to capitalize the 't' in "this". It also didn't help that you capitalised the 'i' in "Is". Despite that, where did I make a mistake? Please do say so.

[@TheMISTERLEGACYX]

+Jason Parker in what way is it ironic?! I just pointed it out... I do have chronic minor ocd :/

[@DW934]

Name suggestions - Suburbs: Oaktown Shruburbs , Farming Area: PloughsDale

[@dylant830]

#shruburbs2015

[@knockshinnoch1950]

It is so easy to take your eye off the ball when developing new areas especially once the city becomes big! I've made that mistake more than once, I try to pause but get so wrapped up I can easily forget- a bit like forgetting to do a regular save then losing an hour of great work- yep that sinking feeling! Liking the relaxed formality of new suburb plan. Love the aesthetic improvements achieved with trees but the city would benefit from balancing with more open green spaces. In some of your heavily wooded areas (pedestrian walkways and around the bus station) you've created a muggers paradise! Do you plan to have an industrial zone?

[@markoratkovic4329]

farming one should be WEEDBURG

[@milkybarkid8143]

Or WEEDBRUH

[@BeorEviols]

Milky Barkid That would be Weedborough and it would be pronounced Weedbro.

[@markoratkovic4329]

ahahahahhah thats cool to :D

[@aidenmcknight2884]

making our way downtown. driving fast, or walking along, the new path. booby do doobidy do, da doo doo

[@aidenmcknight2884]

yay

[@d1want34]

im playing cities skylines, but when i see this channel, i feel like quitting

[@ninjagoat2994]

me too

[@wreckcelsior]

RE: Nuclear Power Plant/ Water shortage.. Would it be prudent to put a dedicated water supply intake near your NPP? Water takes some time to travel and if you have an intake near your Nuclear Plant, it would get water first, from that intake. A small power supply for the intake would help it from losing power. (Water-borne windmill?) Just a thought, that you might have already done, but I'm waay back here at this episode... (hard to watch an entire series and then go back and make comments, so apologies if this is a moot suggestion.) Continuing to love the series...

[@Yshtola.]

roseborough for the suburbs for a name suggestion

[@ThatWimmerKid]

Normally, nuclear plants are built with multiple backup diesel generators that can power emergency pump systems so the reactor can be cooled and restarted. But I guess Skylines isn't quite that advanced.

[@Nick-ff9yv]

I truly believe that the cookie cutter area near the water could be called "Riverside" and could you name the river near Stockgrove "The Golden Crop River"

[@BlockoStudios]

>No Circle-class streets >No cul-de-sacs And you call that a suburb.

[@masscorruption5322]

Call it Blue jay Trails. Also you should turn the "off-ramps" into oneway loops. Lastly i have an idea where you make little to medium interconnected artificial islands as high end businesses and casinos.Some of the small islands can be wealthy neighborhoods as the bigger ones are beautiful attractions. At night it would be astonishing.

[@masscorruption5322]

nvm

[@TenYearsGamer]

"The Bloom" for the rural district. You might consider a direct connection from the middle of the district to the highway, going towards the expressway. I doubt others would use it as a shortcut, but I could be wrong.

[@ILoveQueenB1]

Flux put Farms on grids because instead of being bunch of buildings, the farms will connect up and just be big fields of crops. I think it would spice of the look.

[@minatoarisato8210]

Hey flux you should name the subarbs "The Shire" :)

[@cookiegaming44]

suburbs you spelled it wrong. I'm fine with you spelling it wrong it just make fun of the Latin word "urbs" which is one of the definition of city. it's actually quite cool but I'm a nerd.

[@pablop427]

Pppllleeeaaaassseeee do a first person episode of your city

[@ScottNetwork67]

I suggest "Coastal Valley" something of that such for the rural portion..

[@reeseroyce3050]

Dude I really love your city, keep posting!! The country side where the new farm land should be name "Fruitville" or "PottsTown" or "YorkTown" love the details bro,

[@SeanChaos117]

Man I love the apple keyboard as well!

[@6LUEmusic]

Name it Westmeadow or Silvermount

[@snorkp1]

Whenever you make the Forestry District, you should terraform the land and name it Forest Hills

[@WanderfulAdventurers]

District name possibilities... Blackpool, Kingsguard, illingworth heights ?

[@DrpTheBass77]

Wheaton for the farm area, Meadowglen for the residential

[@bubbles69138]

a wind turbine by your water generaters would alleviate the nuclear plant problem ROFLMAO!! you did it right after I typed it! I thought u were gonna stick with dropping another plant down hahahaha

[@yayforfood100]

I never even notice the keyboard and mouse until you mention it.

[@MightyHeracross]

You should put the farming district further away from the suburbs. Like make some rural towns for the farming, and leave suburb areas for just housing. Farmland would never be that close to the city or intermingled with suburbia.

[@shadesavior5188]

I think a good name for the new district would be carrolton flatts

[@BigMack2020]

just keep placing your happy trees, there should never be a limit on happy trees.

[@17Ryan100]

Love your videos man!

[@danc3313]

You can install power relay boxes so you don't have to worry about connecting power to buildings all the time

[@NautilusRampage]

The song "little boxes" would have been good for the intro on this video.

[@leoappel2186]

Name the energy district Fluxfield/ Springfield Nuclear Power Plant (as in the Simpsons).

[@alexandergudde4621]

Tip: power your water pumps individually with windmills

[@mddojo]

Randomly placed roads is not organic. Organic goes with nature (forests, hills, lakes, etc.) which this map doesn't allow much of. Next time you should use a map with a more varied landscape.

[@fabsr3488]

organic doesn't necessarily have to work directly with nature when it comes to describing something as organic. organic lines are sporadic, curvy, and have no "planned" direction. organic is a very basic term in design cmon now....

[@CowsMakeMooSound]

Call the cookie cut area, Pillsbury Pike after the cookie brand and call the farming area Crop Cove b/c agriculture

[@fullmetal2807]

Please, PLEASE! Make a mod por something of that Spagetti Express Way and share it with us. I just love that work!

[@henkowz]

Cool stuff, keep it coming!

[@derekkn4596]

Henko Kors no.

[@MikeWillSee]

you could call the farming industry fluxburgh farms!

[@ferretwatcher1]

you should name one Springfield and one Shelbyville!

[@joecartoon1000]

For the suburbia area you could name is Serkil (circle) Grange and for the farming area you could name it Strackelton Fields

[@Tomski.25]

You could call the new suburb diagonal square

[@alaudaelark9568]

@Fluxtrance You should try designing complex roadways/bridges in the asset builder. That way you can save it ans re-use or share the design. It took you quite bit of time to get the exchange and that helix way.

[@Kopfkissen224]

you can put wind turbins next to your water stuff so they get power all the time

[@Kopfkissen224]

***** nevermind

[@KOolkAt561011]

Hey Flux how about Stockgrove Plantation for the Farm/Housing

[@AlexanderWDI]

This is everything sim city wish it could have been.

[@watchthe1369]

Bazinga Generation for the Powerplant, and the new district Forest Trails and the wilder open area Forest Estates.

[@stefanja9796]

You crazy man !

[@TOJIAB1]

Hi, as usual, great serie, great work. For your Farm district, What do you think of In cibum ? This means food in Latin.

[@IJOKillingspree]

I think Storm Grove would be a good name

[@IoIIypop12]

If you made cities like this and they would exist in real life, towns wouldn't exist anymore!

[@adamfraser1338]

Hey flux, I was thinking you could put a large green area with parks and tree etc. In the middle of your downtown area, like central park in new york

[@AxisGaming]

Awesome! :D

[@TS_Mind_Swept]

YAY! TREES!

[@augenkloeten6740]

You could name the walkways Ladderwalk

[@MightyHeracross]

Also, you can create forestry districts by just plopping down an assload of trees in one spot

[@MattieH90]

You just slaughtered a Dutch last name. NOT German.... goooosh

[@999is666upsidedown]

Names for things, Woodrow Nas, Lakewood Corona, Far Far awayville, North San Fluxanamont.

[@GoingSomewhereTogether]

There's a button that lets you move or relocate buildings and other plop-ables instead of demolishing them and building me ones, right?

[@TheGamer1562]

flux one question were do you get the ideas of your road layouts, like what do you Base your inspiration on

[@ryanorusio1056]

Edgewood for the suburbs!!!

[@GamesPlayerBR]

how about "Saint Grains" for the rural area?

[@sik3xploit]

Do you just create roads on a whim? I'm just plain horrible at doing it and there are always traffic problems.

[@G1NZOU]

ALL THE TREES

[@Alexander99602]

Why do I think that creating roads into Cities SKylines should be considerd a game art?

[@cookiegaming44]

well some people don't treat it as art. kind of like cars.

[@felicity2322]

How about Plains View or Bountiful Harvest for the farmland area?

[@Berrrb]

Flux are you ever going to go back to RollerCoaster Tycoon 2?

[@DogsRNice]

He might be waiting to see how rollercoster tycoon world turns out

[@jackrobinson382]

DogsRNiceMineCraft Uh, have you seen the trailer? It turned out shit.
