Cities: Skylines - How to Start Your First City (Tips and Layout)

[@DaUnaDistanza]

You're like the Bob Ross of roads. :D Happy little roadways.

[@christosgian.8399]

Hahahaha, I loled hard with your artistic reference! XD Nice one sir!

[@richardflood3058]

Bob Ross was like the nicest dude lol. "Happy little cloud, there are no mistakes just happy little accidents" RIP bless his soul.

[@Sebzero99]

Watching these videos makes me realize how bad I am at this game xD

[@rosalique5722]

+Sebzero99 SAME everyone always gets sick from my water hahaha help

[@kafzii754]

+Rose Ryder Don't make the sewage come in to the water pumps.

[@mgeorgescu]

+Sebzero99 hahaha same!

[@JakeSimmer]

+Sebzero99 I think we learn as we play... once you have money coming in you can delete whole sections of your city (hold and drag the buldozer, no need to click a million times...) and make it in a better way... Sometimes being to serious does not work... ;-)

[@JakeSimmer]

+RS Parthiban (RSP) outch!! that must have hurt... ;-) hope this new way helps you a bit from now on... when you delete the road the constructions are also deleted, or.... when you delete the shopzone colour and make it housezone colour they automaticly change also, give that a try if you want. good luck mate... ;-)

[@Tedminat0r]

At first I was going to learn about roads and do the same basic stuff as you did, but you ended up being some audiobook I just listened to while completely forgetting what I was supposed to do. :D You've a nice voice and you explain in a great and very calm manner. :)

[@ImperialJedi]

Cats Purrsson aw, well shucks! Thanks for taking the time to let me know, I really appreciate the kind feedback :)

[@johnloves1098]

TOvlogs so i have not even started the video but im considering subscribing just based on that comment.

[@ImperialJedi]

Hey guys! I made an updated version of this video - kzbin.info/www/bejne/qaGcZIh9gNSkeJo

[@ambassadorofpain1]

This was great, thank you. I was having real trouble staying in the positive with money and looking back my road management was aimless.

[@ImperialJedi]

The Aftermath it's crazy how fast things can go south when you're not planning!

[@kabultheangryfinn]

TOvlogs I have the problem of losing intrest.. the first 2 - 3 hrs of gameplay is very nitpicking, everything has to be perfect. At the 3 - 6 hr mark... I just make grids, plant parks, schools, PD, FD etc and lose intrest and build another one. my 200,000+ city had the worst traffic problems because of this..

[@ambassadorofpain1]

KabulTheAngryFinn - The Stupidity of Gaming I've got a 70K city now and I think the issue you're describing is down to pre-planning. Once you've build the city up it's an absolute bitch to manage transport afterwards if your roads are all screwed up. At least in my city anyway. But then, I guess that is similar to real life, hence why most cities have terrible road systems.

[@kabultheangryfinn]

The Aftermath Honestly.. it's just because I don't pay so much attention to it anymore. I get tired :P

[@MrSinister718]

The Aftermath You should look for a better starting strategy. This one is ass

[@hollengrhen1]

I launched the game for the first time hoping I would build a happy city. I thought I should look up some video to learn the basics, and I stumbled upon yours after like 25 mins, your voice is very calming, I forgot why I was here. I closed the game and went to sleep (I only built the first two roads btw). Hahah, thx. You earned a sub!

[@yokosack]

this video is so trippy, when I was watching it my cat came in and thought I was doing drugs, but I told him its just youtube, the fucked up thing is my cat died 2 years ago, and I dont even own a computer.

[@EricIsAverage]

wat

[@yokosack]

***** wat

[@Floriskoek]

wut

[@theotherdave8013]

ShawnyP23 Thats a rather odd trip. All i saw was pink elephants.

[@PowerVoltaire]

Don't do drugs like Shawny!! That's fucked up!

[@CraftTheKnight]

Great Video! I have used this countless times to start a city even 7 years later!

[@BoydofZINJ]

I find that Commerce needs "goods" from either outside your city or your industrial areas and commerce loves traffic. Likewise, residence get sick with pollution and industry tends to pollute more than commerce. As a result, I find that commerce should act as a buffer between industry and residence. This funnels people to commerce which will help grow all three sectors. Think of it like this: East I put residence, in the central area i put commerce, and the west I put industry.

[@Hysteria_Gaming]

Going to be honest. New to Skylines, until watching this I thought sewage/water had to be piped separately. No wonder my big city was such a ballache! Thankfully I started a new city yesterday, and wanted to see some pro-tips. Great video dude, thanks. :)

[@ImperialJedi]

+Hysteria Gaming HD happy to help! I actually hear that happening quite a bit so don't feel bad :) Happy building! Thanks for dropping a comment!

[@nadie0595]

So after my third attempt I'm so glad I came here for help LOL there's very little explanation in-game! A pause button... who knew? :P

[@ImperialJedi]

+Jodie Hatcher well I'm glad you found me :) The learning curve is a bit steep, but we'll get you to pro status in no time! Happy building!

[@Rose-bv6wp]

Thanks so much for this! I've been a SimCity player for ages and my son gifted me Cities Skylines for Mother's Day. I love the game but have been struggling trying to get a handle on the tools, which are different that what I'm used to. I appreciate you taking the time to do this!

[@ImperialJedi]

+Carol Brady more than happy to help! That's sweet of your son to get you this :) I have a few other videos that might be up your alley. Feel free to post a comment down the road if you need any help or anything! Happy building :)

[@Rose-bv6wp]

He knows how much I've always enjoyed SimCity so when he saw this, he knew I'd love it. Yes, he's always been a sweetheart. :) I'm new to Steam too so it's definitely a learning curve all around, LOL. I do have a question that has nothing to do with actual gameplay but rather regarding saved games. It seems I can only save a maximum of two different cities at a time. One in the Steam Cloud and the other just as a regular save. Is there a way to save more than two cities at a time? Sorry if this is a dumb question, I'm still getting used to this, LOL. I'm checking out your other videos now and have subscribed to your channel. BTW, we're also in Ontario, just north of the GTA. :D

[@maixck]

Guys you can change the orientation of one way roads by right clicking with the upgrade tool.

[@ImperialJedi]

+maixck indeed! When I made this video that feature hadn't been added yet :)

[@christophercentonze4932]

Thank you! I would give you a hundred thumbs up!

[@BiZinatChos]

Holy shit. Ive had this game for years and never knew. I love you.

[@neogreatwave]

I just got the game and had no idea what to do. Your guide is very helpful and your voice is so calm. Thank you very much.

[@toastlyzone]

PROTIP: There's a mod called "precision engineering", which is great, when building roads you get length in "units", which i believe one square unit is one of those little property squares, and you see the angle relative to other roads when making roads. I'm tired so this is badly worded but you get the idea.

[@ZorrroUK]

One of the first I got and it helps SO much, especially on curved roads

[@bananian]

what about radius? I was so disappointed that this game doesn't have a lot of precise tools.

[@ajd4s433]

I got Cities Skylines on my Xbox (yes I am a console pleb) a couple of weeks ago and my first city didn't go very well! It ended up being way too congested and it was horrible aesthetically. I decided to search up how to build a city properly and your guides are very helpful, my new town is looking great! The videos very effective, and your voice just makes it better!

[@CuthbertNibbles]

Cities: Skylines "Pushing OCD to it's very limits."

[@johnboi2554]

lol you made my day! XD

[@martinl6790]

That's so true lmfao.

[@nonope9870]

Thank you for the very helpful video! Watched one of your Let's Build A Region playlists for SimCity and I started playing Cities Skylines today and wanted to watch your beginner's guide videos for this game too. Also, your video helped me learn the symbol for costa rican currency so that was cool too lol.

[@vacationgal05]

Love the video! I'm playing a free weekend, as someone suggested this game to me a while back but been reluctant to buy. So testing it out! This really helped. I thought the radius around the windmill was the radius it would power, not sound! :) Thanks.

[@ImperialJedi]

+Veronica glad you found me :) How you finding the game so far?

[@mishelli]

i was looking something low key and relaxing to watch on youtube. Four videos into your Cities videos and I HAD to buy the game to try it out for myself. Your enthusiasm for city building is infectious. And I didn't understand your OCD about the roads until I was shaping my own roads. Stupid game and it's uneven curves!

[@Bleenderhead]

LOL, all this time I was keeping sewage pipes and water pipes separate by meshing them together in clever ways. I could have sworn I saw a tooltip that said not to get sewage pipes and water pipes too close, and made sure never to connect them together. I thought the empty pipe next to the filled one was a shadow.

[@derricknyakundi1985]

+Bleenderhead that's true I also was doing the same until i realised how it'll never work, eventually they'll have to meet somehow

[@JakeSimmer]

+Bleenderhead Hi, I have tested this theory and..... They Lived!!! LOL. As soon as I saw all the youtubers say how you 'should not' do this, a smile came to my face.....

[@silverspringhamir2478]

+Bleenderhead The key is to make them relatively close in "downrange" slash "down arrow rivers".

[@TN_Travesty]

The pipes aren't what that tip was referring to, you need to place your water "pumps" upstream from your sewage outlets, not the pipes.

[@nevilleneil2137]

Anybody know why he connects the sewage pump to the fresh water pump???

[@ozzieflygaming7109]

Man, I had my first crack at cities skylines yesterday. In which went well for the most part. I searched for a decent guide and boom, found yours. Done an excellent job man, explained everything so well! Cheers

[@ejgza]

You can also micromanage the budget bars since you won't actually need 100% from the get-go!

[@serhatcakil]

Every time i start a new game, i need to watch this. Its the best starter

[@enragingchaos]

Great video! I was looking at some useful starting information after having to restart my city a few times and this was very helpful! Liked and subbed! I look forward to more content in the future!

[@johnjohnson1191]

[Huttese] Ung tagaa Imperial Jedi tatachi bundo! [Basic] Great job Imperial Jedi, Very helpful!

[@CarthoSteak]

Great video man. Really helped me optimize my new cities.

[@casseys145]

OMG! Thank you so much TOvlogs. I ended up getting city skylines after watching some of my favorite youtubers play it and I was having a really hard time just getting everything set up without going bankrupt, and this was really helpful. I never thought about the one ways I was always doing two ways so that was really smart on your decision. Thank you again. I'm going to watch some more of your videos and probably subscribe. Your voice is so soothing. lol.

[@catcat71gaming94]

B-dubs? Keralis?

[@Dwimerytguy]

Pause at 11:19. roads look like some guy holding his helmet. Cant unsee....

[@ImperialJedi]

+Dwimerytguy haha I noticed that too after I made it the fist time around - or it looks like a monk holding a stone tablet or something to that effect!

[@Banthah]

Lol omg I can’t unsee it now either!

[@joseu.8320]

Oh God the illusion is making me to loose my brain cells

[@marcpaul55]

This is a fucking godsend! This is just what I needed! When I crossed the 4000 population mark, my traffic became a major problem. Lots of congestions and it really annoyed me. After watching this I realized how laughable my road works were. I'm gonna start a new game and I'll prioritize on good road management. Thank you for this!

[@ImperialJedi]

***** No problem, glad you found me!

[@ymer234]

adjusting water and power maintainence in the beginning (micro management) is a good way to not go to much negative

[@ImperialJedi]

ymer234 good tip!

[@Drew.DrivesYT]

Thanks! Just what I needed, starting off the city is always the toughest part for me. Quick tip, you can drag your power lines one tiles from your zoning so you don't lose any zoning, and they'll still get power.

[@ImperialJedi]

Ozma2112 thanks for the tip!

[@fossil98]

If you want to switch direction of one way roads, select the one way road tool and right click.

[@ImperialJedi]

Fossil98 I'm so happy they implemented that!

[@fossil98]

I discovered it by accident. There should have been a tool-tip mentioning it I think.

[@patotop100]

God damn that's one hell of a road placement. I love it.

[@ImperialJedi]

+patrik toplak why thank you kindly sir!

[@WheeGameplays]

Goddamn! Just what I was looking for!

[@bgswaggins5414]

Holy shit man, I remember when this barely mad a couple thousand views. Now you're up at 1m! Congrats bro. Good to see you've grown over the past 2 years. Keep up the work dont give up!

[@GlowingHorror]

In my first square you start the game in I made just a regular grid system with industrial where you come in and the commercial further out and the residential far away from industrial. It's only at 4000 people, but I'm starting to make a lot of money already so when I buy a new square I'll probably build it like you show in the video. It seemed very clever :3

[@Lucpol1986]

Its all about planning ahead of development mate. WHat may seem like a great start with lots of £ coming in, may end up a nightmare at 25k pop... :)

[@GlowingHorror]

***** Yeah that's actually one of the reasons I stopped playing :p That death wave pissed me off so much lol

[@kredal]

This is a great tutorial for how to start! I have restarted my city twice, always got to just about 7500 people, and traffic or debt killed me. Seeing little tips about traffic flow and how to best zone property was great!

[@ImperialJedi]

Josh Ward thanks, glad you liked it! Best of luck with the city :)

[@kevnar]

Your empty road network looks like a man holding a shield.

[@ImperialJedi]

+kevnar yea it does weirdly!

[@cn8299]

The only city building game that I ever liked were the Anno series but this game has thoroughly kicked my ass in terms of figuring out what to do at the start. Great help!

[@CommonSenserules1981]

ya

[@The13thMaker]

+John Doe Yeah it kinda sucked that there wasnt much of a tutorial. This game is way more in depth than the last city building game i played (admittedly that was sim city 3000)

[@ZynoxGaming]

Sadly for me, I didn't realize that energy could spread from and to connected grids :( Great video, though! :)

[@moisinn5070]

Hey dude, been watching your series and 2 things... 1. they are perfectly explained and 2. your voice isnt annoyingly loud, good job buddy!

[@Thunfischkilla]

Bought the game yesterday, my first city ended up with an unresolvable traffic jam that blocked the entire city :(

[@BloodyKnives66]

I ended up leveling half the city so I can fix the screwed up roads I had

[@JakeSimmer]

Just follow and try to understand the traffic flow, who goes where and why... I mean, from outside of your city come the big trucks with supplies for your factories but from the factories the supplies go to the stores in smaller trucks...

[@JakeSimmer]

That is actually the best way to 'play' this game... just have fun, create chaos, delete roads and make it better... ;-)

[@LucasMANchannel]

And I ended up with no fps :|

[@_Drekavac_]

+Lucas G LMFAO! well played bro! 😏😮 I think i will too 😢😂

[@jameseqbonner]

Hey thanks for making this video. I've been having so much trouble figuring out how to get traffic flowing efficiently especially in the beginning of the game. This is my first City Building game so it's a little daunting trying to learn everything at first.

[@ImperialJedi]

SecretPerson no problem, I'm here to help :)

[@crzzymnn911]

Kinda wish there was a way to see the direction of traffic flow. Similar to how you can see the flow of the river when placing pumps.

[@ImperialJedi]

+crzzymnn911 you commented at just the right moment apparently :) Here's a link to a mod that someone made to show the direction of the streets - steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=420500168

[@TerynCate]

Hello! I love the way you slowly go through things instead of going like most people and rushing through like a pro, because these tutorials are made for the new and lost people who don't know what to do. Like me! And because of my noobishness I'm not 100% use to the building tools, if you could make a download link for the map you just made but without the zones, I would love that. Till then I will enjoy your videos, stay awesome dude!

[@ImperialJedi]

teryn cate I'm glad you like the video! That's a good suggestion, I think what I'll do is rebuild it on a map that's a bit less cramped for starting - I shall keep you posted. Keep an eye out for a link in the description, hopefully this weekend!

[@TerynCate]

Senpai noticed me!

[@mantis3669]

it's like watching bob ross paint

[@icemage27]

And a happy little road right there...

[@ImperialJedi]

Bo Bobbitt that got a good chuckle out of me :)

[@ImperialJedi]

GaradurLP what a happy road, but he's our secret :P

[@sKaXz]

oh man, had the exact same thought :D this tutorial is amazing btw, great job!

[@vinorojo401]

Just wanted to say thanks. I find these videos really helpful. I love playing these games but really struggle visualizing good traffic patterns to help the city grow.

[@ImperialJedi]

Vinorojo hey no problemo! Thanks for saying so :)

[@Soldier14]

This should help me alot. Just a thing how do I remove saves like I just started the game and I have lots of shitty saves.

[@ImperialJedi]

+MrRycart you can delete through the content manager I believe. Happy building!

[@xeniadom5742]

thank you for this video, I am 50 years old and love games to build cities. however I am not great with computer , your video helped me to have none stress from new game, which I am buying now. I know how to start Nowadays small kids play very complicated games with thousands features, this demotivates me to buy any of them, however with such video I can really start and learn games while playing. Thank you!

[@MiriamBonnet]

Wow. Thank you so much

[@ImperialJedi]

+Mirrrie my pleasure :)

[@koolerpure]

wow, that road set up you started the video making is insane

[@Sglez305]

Your road design is a nightmare for tourist

[@ImperialJedi]

Stevan Gonzalez well hopefully the cims will be nice enough to help people out with directions :)

[@distilledwill]

This was fantastic - restarted my city to put it all into practice! Would love to see you build a city of your own!

[@ImperialJedi]

I'll be showcasing something soon!

[@mickcarson8504]

Is this a program or a game? What is it called and where do you get it from?

[@ImperialJedi]

Mick Carson this is a new game out from Colossal Order called Cities: Skylines. It's a next generation city builder with essentially unlimited freedom to build anything and anywhere. Warning you though, if this is up your alley, literally all your free time will be consumed by this game.

[@mickcarson8504]

TOvlogs Thanks for responding right away. I wonder if they sell this in games stores.

[@ImperialJedi]

Mick Carson you'll need a to download it through Steam I believe - free program, it's a digital store or games, you make an account and can log in anywhere and basically 'bring' the games with you. It's quite convenient. If they do sell it in stores, it would just be a key that you would need to enter into Steam.

[@mickcarson8504]

TOvlogs​​​​ Thanks mate. I already have an account with Steam. Problem is I am not happy with Steam. 1) They are asking too much information and details that are none of their business and has nothing to do with games, such as: 'What city were you born in...' what has that got to do with creating an account? A user name and email is enough. 2) Downloading takes ages, even if a game was purchased in store it still takes 40 or so minutes for it to update/load before you play after you've typed the activation code. So, there you are, you know why I am not happy with Steam. I just want to purchase and play games without the need to give anyone my personal details. What if I don't have the Internet? What if I wanted to play a game in private and without the need to create accounts, like the old days? Have the privacy rights been breached?

[@ImperialJedi]

Mick Carson also some fair points, I would honestly try emailing the game company. They might maybe have a physical copy of the game that you could purchase.

[@alexanderbowers5225]

As someone fairly new to city builders, you're a genius. Thanks for the help.

[@ImperialJedi]

Alexander Bowers thanks for the support :)

[@jellybeans3970]

I've bought cities skylines deluxe edition like six days ago from paradox and I don't know how to activate it and I don't know how to get it send help please!!!!!!!!

[@ImperialJedi]

Whatever123idnc did they forward you a serial key? If so, you'll have to redeem it through Steam :)

[@woodybaby543]

Happy that I have found this. As I bought the game and ran out of money straight away. It's a good starting tutorial.

[@ImperialJedi]

farha543 thanks :)

[@GyanRosling]

Haha your road configuration looks like a woman holding a gravestone

[@ImperialJedi]

GyanRosling haha yea, I only noticed it looked like a person after I made it, I think you're only the 3rd or 4th person to point that out :)

[@kenziebowen4923]

+TOvlogs that was good

[@OninDynamics]

You can't unsee.

[@paladin656]

In the beginning talking about lining up the one way streets on the exit ramps, I know this is an old video, but I found recently you can switch the direction of one way roads by using 'upgrade' and right click, so you can draw both roads from the interstate exit and just reverse the one you need that leads back to the on ramp

[@awd3264]

Simpler yet, use a roundabout.

[@DarkMatterHorizon]

+awd3264 Also, avoid using the 4 lane roads, they add traffic lights to the intersections, better to stick to the 2 and 6 lane roads, they just have stop signs which don't interfere as much with your traffic flow.

[@derekt7206]

I seriously needed this tip. I'm terrible at starting layouts in my cities. Thank you!

[@TanmaiBhatia]

i had no idea what that was about, but i watched the whole video....

[@ImperialJedi]

+Tanmai Bhatia hopefully it was enjoyable :)

[@goaway9838]

This is so helpful. I always have trouble figuring out road layouts that logically work. my problem was having a big ridiculous intersection right at the start lmao

[@nooraldeen6637]

which map is this ? Q.Q

[@enesgamez3899]

Green plains

[@michaelmagar8799]

This is good advice, it may be a little old, but still very relevant. I'm really bad at building intersections, so now I have something to go off of, thanks.

[@ImperialJedi]

+Michael Magar yea it's crazy how much the game has changed over the past year - glad you still got some use out of this old dinosaur of a video, lol. Happy building :)

[@nhlan]

My city is just a big mess

[@oddoneout1835]

Seeing you build your layout helps me get ideas, thanks Jedi. Plus your tips on sorting roads is invaluable.👍

[@shannonthompson1382]

Omg! Im trying to follow your guide but my one way roads keep going in the wrong direction! What am i doing wrong?

[@ImperialJedi]

Shannon Thompson if you right click on the one-way roads with the road-upgrade tool selected it will change the direction of the one-way roads for you :)

[@shannonthompson1382]

Thanks so much!

[@russellkjr]

dude this was great. i was having a tough time figuring out how to make an intersection that doesnt suck in the beginning of the game.

[@ImperialJedi]

Kenny Russell I got more in case you get stuck!

[@flyinglurker420]

Jared? is that you?!

[@ImperialJedi]

Who's Jared?

[@flyinglurker420]

You sound just like a streamer called Anniebot. A popular league of legends streamer :)

[@PhattPhatt07]

Dude I was thinking the exact same thing LOL.. he sounds very similar to Jared

[@lucasco4943]

like bot

[@KianMehrabi]

Narration reminding me of the Fallout 4 Diamond City radio host xD. Brilliant. Good watch, I'm going to get this started before I hit the sack tonight.

[@JaredSavoy]

omg I was thinking the same thing haha

[@graffitiistkunst8753]

Wow...How long do you play Cities Skyline?! That are very very very bad tips!!!

[@ImperialJedi]

+BattleGamesDE this was made the day the game came out, I've learned a great seal since then and make an updated version of this video. Though I don't think this video is unhelpful or anything.

[@charliegraham2350]

BattleG

[@smlegg]

BattleGamesDE How long ago did you start to learn how to make sentences make sense?

[@graffitiistkunst8753]

Scotty500 since i have learned English in the elementary school. Greetings from Germany ;P

[@ImperialJedi]

Don't know if this is still helpful or not - kzbin.info/www/bejne/il67pYWorbF4ZtU Sorry for the super long response!!

[@LottieLovesLemons]

Great video! I just bought this game and the learning curve is steep! Many thanks for taking the time to help xx

[@christiaanbruin4989]

Your layout is gonna cause traffic jams once your city grows...

[@ImperialJedi]

+Christiaan Bruin I can comfortably move populations of 100K + with this layout :) Though you'll obviously have to tinker along as you go.

[@MyMfDominoes]

Very high quality commentary, thanks for being so clear. I tried to set up my city like i did in SimCity, and that didn't work out too well but this definitely helped!

[@miss-nomer]

Don’t you mean “the skyline is the limit”? I’ll see myself out.

[@ImperialJedi]

I think I just broke my eyes rolling them so hard. Lol

[@sprcj]

Perfectly explained video, especially with the road layouts. Thanks. Look forward to hearing more from you.

[@ImperialJedi]

Why thank you :)

[@tolerantxgaming4530]

When I got this game in a bundle, I thought it was an intimidating game to play and learn. Your videos showed me that it is not difficult to make a beautiful city. thank you!

[@saras1029]

I loved this video! I used the tips and made a similar starting point with the roads and industrial area and traffic was sooo smooth! Once I got the starting point set-up I went off and did my own thing but kept these idea's/tips in mind when building newer- adjoining road layouts and traffic was still very smooth even as my city grew.

[@rene5350]

In the beginning, when you extend the highway with one/way roads: You can do this quite easily by extending both highways with one way roads going down (like you did the first one). However, the right road will run in the wrong directions. If you switch to the "replace road" option, you can toggle which way the one road is supposed to go by right clicking on a piece of road :)

[@deathscythehellfunk]

My starting tips: Just read up "Fused Grid" on wikipedia. Excluding highways, I never use one-way streets and have no traffic problems at all. Amazing how well real world city planning works in this game. Also, learn how to build intersections. Ramp length and the way they connect can make a huge difference in traffic flow.

[@ImperialJedi]

GundamSentinel thanks for the tips, I'll check out the wikipedia articles :)

[@Raaaaaazr]

Awesome video. Loved your ideas with the one direction roads. That'll help me out a lot.

[@-nateplayz-293]

Thank you! I've been having problems with my cities and having to start over. This helped

[@KalRandom]

About to buy this game, as I really miss my SimCity's. After 3 days of watching different vids for info on a few details (like payback on deleting roads ) I finally have a answer. You got a sub and about to start the binge watching.

[@kitkat9322]

You don't even know how much this helped me! Thank you!

[@Swizzlerz]

Great design. I am new to this game. Just streamed my first 4 hours playing it. I am looking forward to this game more now!

[@royalsmooth806]

This is one of the best tutorial video i've ever watched, very descriptive, I love it. Keep up the good vids man !!!

[@svenikip]

how can you turn opjects like a wind turbine? maybe you said it in the video but i dindt got enough time too watch it full

[@ImperialJedi]

svenikip just right click before you place it :)

[@svenikip]

TOvlogs oki ty :D

[@Ziplinz]

I've been playing since release and didn't even know that. lol

[@Jerbear1022]

You shouldn't need to turn them they automatically turn to the "wind" though there are only speeds no actual currents (Only flaw with this game)

[@sourdime9000]

Thank you for that layout link, the one thing I hoped for at the end of your video.

[@peter802]

good design and mellow voice

[@ImperialJedi]

peter802 thanks, that's how I roll :)

[@realkdbb]

Learned about this game today. So far from what I see this is much better than SC. Thank you for the awesome video. It was of great value to a newbie. Keep up the great work and I look forward to more informative stuff.

I love it! You're the Bob Ross of city building.

Usually I use a very grid-like road layout, then have later traffic issues at the highway off-ramp. I've been solving that with a nice roundabout. The 45 degree is a nice solution.

*..............THANK YOU !!!* usually I have no problems with creativity, but there is so much you wanna do, and each decision is not really, but yes really, permanent and I once stood stuck for three hours trying to decide how to begin the game... your design helps, thanks =)

More Tips: Budget panel -- defaults city infrastructure at 100%, use top Left Info panels to monitor and the Money symbol on bottom to immediately scale down all costs to rock bottom(50%), monitor and scale as needed. itll speed up your profits and lower costs to maintain a town that doesn't require that much in the begining till you get enough capital to expand out /redesign your town for what you want. I prefer to build a ugly start town myself that'll build up closer to the river, less power lines less wasted money no real appeal, then once the Cims start to stagnate ill redesign the system to be appealing/functional. Your video though has made it possible to both by design and budget - teach something that works well, Good Job.
