Cities: Skylines - New Player Guide // Updated for 2017 - NO MODS [EP2]

[@zangetsu27]

seriously..you made it look so fast n easy planning everything and it looks so well thought.

[@Holygiant]

Jedi, just wanted to say you're pretty awesome. Very insightful and extremely positive without coming off as pandering or annoying. That combination is difficult to find anywhere and it's great that you brought it to the Cities Skylines community.

[@ImperialJedi]

+Holygiant that's really kind of you to say :)

[@VanillaGorilla89]

Your taste in classical music is fantastic and your voice is so chilled. Subbed.

[@wrongwaygamer]

Your the Bob Ross of gaming!!!!

[@Ranulfdatank]

Right down to the happy little trees :)

[@helgiyogurt2726]

Ehem!

[@soundhaven9542]

There are no mistakes, only happy little accidents.

[@BlackDiamondForumClub]

He does sound like him

[@falloutrains2641]

Your voice is really relaxing ha ha. While I was watching I started to doze off Lol Keep it up I can't wait to put them in practice!

[@dajonjames5759]

I agree

[@aidaninsua]

FalloutRain i was think the same its like meditation to listen haha

[@Mac_Govern]

His voice is similar to TetraNinja's. Like this if you agree.

[@SooberYooberToober]

@@Mac_Govern damn, no likes. rip.

[@CardStash23]

I am so happy that you started this series. I'm am so low on the totem pole in understanding this game. This is helping me understand what and why. Thank you

[@subtledemisefox]

following your guide with my own ideas and after an hour or two i have over 5000 people and 3000-5000 weekly positive cashflow! thanks for these videos!

[@ForGrimTilTV]

OH MY GOD!! Your videos are so freaking chill :) I don't even play games, but this is fascinating! Keep it up!

[@ImperialJedi]

Hey thanks for saying so! That's definitely the vibe I'm going for :) I think there's way too much yelling and swearing all over KZbin these days for attention - no need to add to the noise.

[@ktroy787]

Amen my good brother. Stay at peace :)

[@yetanotherYTuser2]

thats true! every gaming youtuber or streamer thinks that they have to shout or make a funny voice in order to have viewers actually, you just need to have some interesting content and be passionate about it without seeming to have 10 orgasms each second keep doing what you do mate! hi from Barcelona

[@greenzQT]

For Grim til TV I

[@quanganhle4599]

i couldnt agree more. exactly what i like about your videos :)

[@Michaelrsem0010]

I have really enjoyed your series of videos. I am new to this game and love it, and it was great to have your videos helping me understand how to build. I appreciate the pacing of your videos and also that you spoke clearly the entire time. Thanks,

[@ME3fan]

Your understanding of this game is amazing. I just got the game but now I realize all my cities are terrible 😂. I hope I can implement some of your building principles at least.

[@Hoggster26]

Thanks for giving me loads of tips. I think I just go straight in for it and don't plan it. I love your work.

[@chrismorrison6126]

Just bought the game two days ago so the timing of this is perfect!

[@colbartus5273]

This series kept me playing Cities Skylines.

[@everythingfiery5890]

new to skylines and new to this channel, so glad I found you as skylines can get confusing at times ;-)

[@checkrazor76]

Wow. This is just like watching X's adventures in minecraft. Which was one of the greatest video series ever made.

[@crystalg.6666]

Great video! I just bought the game and watched your first two episodes to make my first city. I had to rewind quite a few times, but it came out pretty good, and I learned a lot. Enjoyed your commentary, and your voice is so soothing to listen to.

[@Spinksickles]

FINALLY!! A decent video that helped me learn the use of other types of roads! So satisfying slowly building up a town utilising roads without causing freaking traffic jams. Thanks a lot bud!

[@ImperialJedi]

Happy to be of help :)

[@gentryhayes]

Just got the game in the PS4 version, and these videos are both the reason I bought the game, and the biggest help in my experience early on. So, in short, thank you.

[@piratablue9468]

Congratulations, the best explanation of how to start a city in this game...

[@YTNotix]

Thanks For Helping Out Imperial Jedi

[@ImperialJedi]

Happy to be here my friend!

[@furqanaslam5209]

you are the best planner on you tube for city skylines. building very functional cities

[@hexbashplays5186]

You sir are an artist It was like watching Painting with Bob Ross but better because I understood everything and want to make this now.

[@kabong254]

Just picked this up on steam so this series is perfect for me. Love it so far! Keep it up!

[@boredsights3923]

I'm enjoying this series. Thanks again.

[@CyberJuanito]

Omg this was cool af! A very skilled city builder. Subbed!

[@JohnCinOz1]

Loving this series, learning so much. Thanks! Subbed!

[@split2th]

I am seriously loving your videos. I just hit 30k population on my first city and I'm hooked. I took your advice from your last series "just have fun with it", and I really am. It's so not symmetrical tho. lots of long circular roads overlapping and shorter curved connecting roads. It's making my dizzy just thinking about it :)

[@twomouse5572]

Love you're videos! @14:07 the section looks like a phone memory micro heh-heh

[@rocsaltjohn]

Awesome.Now I've learned not to over zone. I'm used to zoning every square inch. My newer cities will have breathing room. Also I now have confirmation that if you place a coal burning power plant, coal must come from outside your city.

[@ImperialJedi]

Come join me for a livestream today on Twitch.tv/ImperialJedi @ 2PM EST! See you guys soon!

[@krimskrams9339]

New to your channel. This series got me hooked!

[@ImperialJedi]

+Krims Krams welcome aboard! Glad to hear it :)

[@rudlixx7604]

I'm not sure here, but i think that u actually can move the landfills and graveyards, u just need to move their "content" to an other landfill/graveyard first.

[@ImperialJedi]

+Rudolf Kura you are absolutely correct - that's kinda what I was trying to say. I should have mentioned that they could be moved to other graveyards or landfills. Appreciate the comment :)

[@Bull3tzZz]

Hope these series will continue for a while! :D

[@zarajade3278]

Been awhile since i played this , but since watching your vids again shall be going back to the game , i have bought all DLC now and been a sub to your channel for awhile now keep up the good work

[@richardbricker1720]

Hey IJ the perfect pipe spacing is 440m. I have watched most of you CS videos and you tend to eyeball (correctly) the spacing.

[@impyimp4466]

Well I just wanted to say happy 200 likes (I hit it for you lol.) Very good video series, love the way you start & build your city, it gives us all a different perspective that helps us enjoy the game more ;o)

[@sicnic666]

Damn, you need to be on breakfast radio. What a voice!!

[@cm3462]

As a new player, thank you

[@iamshurtugal]

Nice videos! I can really learn on how to make efficient decisions in Skylines :) + you are really chilled ! Couldn't ask for more

[@MattyNorwood]

Apologies if this has already been asked (and answered), but when you was adding footpaths at 24:50, you was creating them over established buildings, which made them disappear. Does this not affect the amount of residents / companies, or any other metrics? I would've have thought deleting a building would mean the people disappear with it! Great video series, by the way. Really enjoying them. :)

[@fishiestfriend3817]

18:37 What are the fresh water outlets, biodomes and vertical farms? Are they part of natural disasters?

[@Zonneschijno]

Yes, they are.

[@Ibuprofens]

that roundabout was pretty slick good find =D

[@Pdartfrog]

Really enjoy your video's! You have a perfect style of presenting this game! I have been used to playing FIFA and Cod for years! They are so frustrating to play, this game is great and your vids are really helpful! Keep it up - I predict your subscribers to go through the roof!

[@MrWrexr]

I like this project of yours! I'm excited to see how I diverge from you xD

[@X3MInternational]

I've been playing the game on the last 1 and a half month and I needed some tips watching your videos; keep them up please! So the Elementary School could be better if put in the residential zones? I always tried to put them by the middle of the city so the industrial areas could be a part of its efficient area (I thought it would help on the unnenploying problems).

[@LeoDeStino]

I said that i am not going to watch ep 2 till i practice in a new city but i am so curious on how you gonna develop this beautiful city that i can't stop watching. Moving to part 3.

[@zerodyne5333]

"A lot of new players they try to jam so much stuff in a very small amount of room" I know what the culprit is for this... lol That game that shall not be named!

[@florinmanolache9706]

Care to explain?

[@bitslay]

@@florinmanolache9706 simcity

[@mechealesims343]

Hi I J, I'm new to this game and thoroughly enjoyed your first video. I am looking forward in following along. You have great tips. You are doing a great job. Can't wait to see what the city will eventually look like once it is done. A+++

[@boyakoosha]

Great videos thanks for taking the time to do them!

[@JGigs]

You sound exactly like Ben Stiller's character from Happy Gilmore lol... awesome videos man

[@zarrennerraz8480]

when watching a tutorial one should never make negative comments towards the author but instead go make their own series. as an advanced player i often watch them to refresh myself and perhaps learn the basic mechanics from a new perspective. the biggest advantage playing with no mods is that u are one, playing for real and two, it is less taxing on your rig. i highly recommend any newbie to watch a series like this first before jumping into mods straight away.

[@cxxfilms]

gonna love this series

[@Themarty96]

Great video once again. I've learned quite a bit already. Thanks

[@Kevmacc1000]

You're The Bomb, Sir.... Many Thanx for these cool tutorials. Much appreciated :)

[@aaronth07]

Stargate reference at 15:53.

[@chrisgilmet304]

Very cool series, thanks for posting these starter tips. Planning to give Xcom a rest for a while and try this. Looks like everything SimCity should have been.

[@mclovin9832]

Wow you've made the game so much more enjoyable and less frustrating. Loving your work. Ive got all my friends to subscribe. I see a few commercial buildings become abandoned on yours. This happens to me all the time. Mainly says not enough customers. Theres loads of houses around. How do I fix this? Its driving me mad. Any help would be amazing. Cheers pal

[@paulgonzales8059]

Woohoo! Guess we had enough likes! Thanks for the quick release!

[@ImperialJedi]

+Paul Gonzales no problemo! Thanks for the support!

[@oneactionman]

Lovin this series and the channel. It's helped me alot. 👍🇬🇧

[@Blackadder75]

Oh, Martha, we found our dream home, this sweet little town has it all! I got the keys from the estate agent. Oh Jim, I am so happy, we will be ready for our new born baby next spring. ImperialJedi: Bring on the bulldozer, this property is going to be a park.

[@Sherief95]

can someone tell me the name of the song around 20:00 ?

[@ImperialJedi]

It's from the in-game classical music radio station :) Not sure of the actual name though,

[@jmowinchestergamer4life878]

Trying to follow I miss the exact amounts that you measure your roads so am curious how this affects mine and how much it differs from yours !! Thanks for the videos will keep following.

[@StealthFB22]

I can just imagine everyone narrating themselves as they play this! I know, because I do haha XD

[@ImperialJedi]

+Shea Penita that made me smile :)

[@JohnAkALittleFoot]

I Keep having issues with folks moving out and shops and stuff saying either, not enough workers or not enough educated works but I be putting a tone of shop and ind. zones and plenty of residential areas. How do I fix this?

[@andytuttle4527]

Really enjoyed the video!

[@Pkaff]

I recently started playing what seems to be the newer version where some of the mods are integrated (such as angles and measures for roads, traffic controls etc.) but I don't have for example the bus roads that you have. How do you get those?

[@laodrofotic7713]

how to know where your one way roads are leading? I am confused about that and I bet more people are too.

[@StormyIV]

My city is no where near as thought out as yours but I went back to change somethings so it's working out lol. I'm only at 30k people so far. Not to bad for my first city

[@liammorris1018]

Whats a fresh water outlet etc, that from disasters DLC? Also which map you playing? This is an interesting design as i usually have highways going through my cities but they get bogged up with traffic so much, infact every city i've made traffic has eventually ruined it lol.

[@UnheardFaun4]

love this. I am trying this game out for the first time but I have one problem. I have a lot of buildings that need jobs. how could I fix that?

[@wickedcub31]

wonderful designs

[@novaplum1617]

Just got this game yesterday. This design has basically screwed my landfills. Garbage trucks will not deploy to pick up garbage and Im thinking the road layout has something to do with it. EDIT: Fixed the problem. It had to do with the one way streets. Somehow I set it up so that the trucks couldn't reach their destination. The solution was to upgrade to 2 way streets at specific points so the trucks could complete their routes. Thanks for the tutorials, btw. These are really helping me out a lot.

[@HxTrEmEcHaOs]

So industrial zones should be relatively small compared to housing zones?

[@YTNotix]

I'm Going To Get a PC Next Weekend And i Am Going To Get City Skylines on Steam:)

[@ImperialJedi]

You might want to buy the game now since it's on sale - worst case you can always refund it :) Happy building and RIP your social life!! When I first got this game I wouldn't leave the house!!

[@richardbricker1720]

make sure you get at least 16 GB of RAM. after starting CS I upgraded to 32 cause of mods and assets. They are addictive.

[@randykendrick2351]

Be sure you have a decent, discrete graphics card. It won't work on integrated Intel graphics.

[@karlklein2263]

I'm not sure what music mod you have but it's really nice. Would like to get it for my game

[@ImperialJedi]

+Wash Manblast You get an in game radio station with the Natural Disasters DLC. There's also a little mini DLC with some extra channels for your radio station - quite nice :)

[@karlklein2263]

ImperialJedi Rock on. Wasn't sure if natural disasters was worth it or not since I've wanted to get more facilities and road types rather than scenarios

[@ImperialJedi]

+Wash Manblast personally I really like it for the extra buildings versus the actual disasters themselves. Especially the fresh water outflow pipe - you can create your own waterfalls and lakes if you plan it properly :)

[@MrTurtlefan2]

You can do a lot with default assets

[@amphibianadventures6267]

I own this game and now I am trying to make my city look good just like yours but it is hard not to copy

[@sirping]

why do you have more buildings then i do. for example in the police section i only have 2 buildings...

[@denniskindermann927]

great vids playing now on xbox one this helps alot thank you

[@DiamondKnight84]

You said you were producing more water than you needed. Can you explain how you know this? Thanks.

[@ImperialJedi]

When you're placing your water buildings you can see a box in the top left hand of the screen that shows what's being produced/used :)

[@thenotoriousdig610]

THAT ROUNDABOUT TRICK THOUGH

[@thesage1096]

oh my god ur soooo chilled !!!

[@Bozzigmupp]

How can you have so many roads to choose from?

[@JohnAkALittleFoot]

Hi there, is it better to add in the wind turbines VS the power lines? because I find myself making countless power-lines that seem to never be enough. Thanks in advance

[@bechillas7225]

Little Foot_23 well the power lines dont create power, they just move it. they need to be connected to a power source.

[@hansdoner6015]

Do you have all dlc's installed ? And also which one adds the new streets and the walking path part and the editable park stuff

[@zachozier6803]

Hans Döner That would be the network extensions Mod

[@Макс-щ2ч1ч]

Hi! Where did you get roads with buslines and tramlines and so on from? I don't have them while there is over 15000 people in my city. Is it a mod, addon or something?

[@ImperialJedi]

+Макс they're part of the After Dark and Snowfall DLC :)

[@Макс-щ2ч1ч]

These seem to be must-have-addons. Thanks!

[@ImperialJedi]

+Marius p thanks for saying so :)

[@harexe6306]

Do you have all the dlcs?

[@wulp1191]

Thx, ImperialJedi, for this tutorial, one general question. I see you scrolling, panning and moving around real quick and smooth. Do you use the keyboard or are you using the mouse. I just purchsed this game and am a real beginner, I am a SimCity player and I miss the mouse control I had there in Cities: Skylines.

[@ImperialJedi]

+wulp1191 I personally can't stand mouse scrolling in these types of games - usually ends up driving me crazy so I pretty much just use the keyboard for most movement. My roratating mostly comes from the mouse. Happy building!

[@wulp1191]

Do you use the middle mouse for rotation or did you change this? I hate using the middle mouse.

[@wulp1191]

And panning? Sorry to bother you but I just cannot seem to use the game as smoothly as you do, I am getting annoyed by it, takes away the joy of gaming and think about throwing the game out and return to Simcity, the controls in there are much and much better... however, seeing you use the camera, I understand that I am doing something wrong.

[@wulp1191]

I found a lot of people complaining about this, like:"The controls in this game are far too difficult for me to even play anymore. It's a beautiful game; I watched many videos of how other people design and build their cities. But to pan around the city using the keyboard is just far too annoying to bother even playing. I would recommend NOBODY purchase this game until camera panning is done with the mouse like ALL other city building games (A-train, CitiesXL, SimCity etc.). Why Cities:Skylines would go with this clunky, outdated mode of operation I have no idea. But I hate it enough to rate this game a big fat zero and will never give it a good recommendation. Let me know when they fix this! "If I knew the controls would suck like this, I don't think I would have bought the game. Bummer. What I also noticed that in your videos, the scrolling goes smooth, mine goes in steps, also annoying.Anyway, thanks for your tutorial but I think I will deinstall it and give the game away. Too bad, its such a beautiful game.

[@Matt3II]

these videos are awesome!
