Cities: Skylines | How To Fix Common City Problems - Part 1 | No Mods | PS4/XBoxOne

These are the common problems a young city will soon encounter at some point in its development. Solutions vary from city to city and will depend on a lot of factors such as road layout, zoning layout, population, etc.
The solutions provided here are simplified and generalized but tested to provide relief. Hope these will help you too.

I tend to get not enough workers when I start educating my cims and they start to prefer office jobs. My fix for that is to enable the policy for educated cims to take those jobs, I believe it's industry 4.0. Cool video I can't wait for part 2

[@RickyKingPlays]

Yes. And educated cims has benefits, like less garbage (according to chirpy). 😁 Thanks, Huey.

[@ryanmuir9768]

I normally get this as well but I don't know how to fix :(

[@DmytroBogdan]

I am also getting this problem after educating cims and its definitely not because I haven't enough residential. Does "schools out" policy tackle the problem somewhat?

if you have tons education buildings but not enough educated workers, make sure check to see if schools are to close 2gether of the same type, make sure spread them around. I found if you have 2 same building near each other it causes issues as 1 will fill and the other will have 0 students.

Got 2 elementary and 2 high schools and 1 university.

Thank you. If its an item to be unlocked, it will still show on your tab but you cannot use it. Some items are also dependent on the map type you are using. But its probably from a DLC, lots of new items are from DLCs.

[@edmunddavis2585]

Still struggling with the not enough buyers with my ore and oil industry areas. I have 87% traffic, a cargo port and a lot of commerical zones in a 110,000 person city. I've added a bunch of warehouses too as I've read that can help. It just doesn't seem to matter. My industries just struggle.

[@RickyKingPlays]

The export is also thru highway connection and it takes time for the export truck to arrive especially when the industry is far from highway entrance. And we cannot control which will be the buyer (highway export, cargo export, or commercials). Just wait for a while.

[@eden20111]

As for the cargo train, do I connect one end from industrial to commercial? Or industrial to industrial

[@RickyKingPlays]

Cargo trains do export for industrial, and do imports for both industrial and commercial, but often to commercials..

[@muhammadkamil9242]

But my problem is that when i put the industrial area its not building any structure

[@martinglose8572]

What if you don't allow the bars to fill up? I personally don't like seeing the bars above a third of the way.

[@RickyKingPlays]

You mean the demand bar? Yeah, it's better if they're all almost even, with the green always more than the two.

[@nivedprabhu5057]

Since you preview the game from a console, how many tiles are you able to open? Can you go more than 9 tiles?

@@RickyKingPlays oh thx bro

[@Mr-dm5we]

3:28 this doesn't work. I checked it with ind/com buildings that were not connected to anything by road or transit and yet they were still hiring people as usual. In fact you don't actually need to provide PT to offices or industry and your city can operate normally even if all your cims don't travel to work. Sounds weird but I literally saw this happening

[@RickyKingPlays]

Haven't tried that. Were there pedestrian access to the site? Citizens will prefer transit, then walking, then cars. It actually worked for me. In latest episode of New Seattle (Ep 12), I remove the metro station in the industrial area and Not Enough Workers problem happened on the far side of the industrial area. So i added another station (not shown in the video) and the problem was solved. Anyway, I will do an experiment on what you are saying. I also like doing experiments like that. :)

[@Mr-dm5we]

@@RickyKingPlays There was no pedestrian or other connections at all, I just farmed 1000 1×1 abandoned buildings to unlock the observatory in my city. I thought then they will die firstly because of workers, but the jobs were filled in. I reckon this happened because the city was so large it hit the in-game pedestrian limit and the game stopped caring about job trips calculations (like really, there was no single person travelling to work and offices created ZERO trips besides service vehicles). It's only a theory, but there is a chance it won't happen in small cities

[@eden20111]

So I’m having an issue with the not enough buyers and not enough educated workers… I have a lot of IT Cluster and a significant commercial zones. If I delete either or, it will hurt industrial won’t it? And then unemployment for all those people losing their jobs..

[@RickyKingPlays]

For not enough buyers, it usually takes time for the buyers from outside, more so if you don't have export hubs coz they use the road connections to get to your products. Give it a time, or provide export hubs. Just continue educating your citizens, it will solve it on its own. Educated citizens can take menial jobs too without a problem.

[@eden20111]

@@RickyKingPlays ok thanks. When you say export hubs you mean the cargo train, airport, and harbor? My population is only at 30,000 so I haven’t unlocked airport yet. If I install a cargo train where should I build it? Next to commercial or industrial? And have it run straight to the end of the map to connect to outside right? I’m sorry for all the questions lol I’m new to this game so I’ve been watching a lot of tutorial videos but I get confused by connecting train lines

[@RickyKingPlays]

@@eden20111 What you said is all correct. Cargo trains exports from industrial but imports goods for the commercials and also for the processors. It will be safe to place them in between. But I would say, you can place them conveniently anywhere as long as you have a very good road network.

Build more residentials. Give it a time. Sometimes it takes weeks in CS time before they can reach their destination. Try also connecting it with paths.

And is their a way to turn off the utility needs so you can just design the city. ,Like a freeplay mode with no rules?🤔

[@RickyKingPlays]

Those are traffic passing to and from (other) neighboring cities. Your first citizens will come from those cities thru existing highways. Unfortunately, you cannot turn off utility needs, but you can build with limited money and limited soil. That's the closest to a just-build mode we can get, particularly as a console player.

Ricky, I hope you'll read this: HOW TO FIX TO GET MORE SUBSCRIBERS TO YOUR CHANNEL. First off, you have produced a lot of excellent videos, especially tutorials, which deserve way more views, likes and subscribes then you currently have. Maybe the problem is your "SILENCE". While to much bla-bla can be tiring, especially if the speaker doesn't get to the point. On the other hand, if I watch a couple of your videos in a row, say 4 or more (because you got all the right answers), I get tired of reading and trying to comprehend what I've read. I guess that's the case for most people ... and then interest is lost. Got nothing to do with "attention deficit", its just how things are. So, consider narrating the videos. (please ? + ! ) IT WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE. if you don't have a cool voice, or if you have a heavy accent that no one will understand, or if you have any other speech-impairment, make use of an "text-to-voice" program.
