Alas only ship to the US. But they looks like good socks. Between you and that Texan Dustups dude they look like good quality clothing makers. But yeah, US only.

can you make a video about the mods you use and also dice the game has been improved in the optimization the best game settings for each hardware and how to make the simulation even faster?

[@josephp9141]

Can you make another graphic settings video

[@thedumbaviator5536]

Will i finally be able to watch a city planner plays series without it already having 1000 episodes? YAYYY

[@ArturdeSousaRocha]

@@thedumbaviator5536 I was actually able to catch Verde Beach on the first episode. I haven't been watching city building for a while so I'm glad I caught this one now. :)

[@junovzla]

​@@ArturdeSousaRocha I been watching Magnolia County since the start and I had the exact same thought as op xd

[@Riditekh-Studios]

@@junovzla I have been able to watch luckily since Bluffside Crossing!

[@poopcac69]

Very relatable

[@CP3oh322]

It was tough to follow along with Magnolia County considering the first several episodes came before the Economy 2.0 patch.

[@guywithinterwebs]

Id love the cemetary to work like the landfill. You place just the moseleum (a small building) then draw out the rest of it for grave stones to populate as the bodies fill up. And you can expand it, make it irregular shaped, and it conforms tk terrain... like real cemetaries

[@highlandoutsider]

That's a real cool idea

[@CityPlannerPlays]

I would love that so much!

[@DefinitelySpirit]

great idea but the sentence "id love the cemetary to work like the landfill" 💀💀

[@JonZiegler6]

They really should at least conform to the terrain...I dont think people generally pre-grade for cemetaries

[@mpbMKE]

I was bummed when I found out that wasn't how cemeteries work in the game.

[@Subreon]

you gotta build a race track here and call it Segunda Seca. (it needs to have a signature tight S turn with a huge elevation change)

[@_Valravn]

@@Subreon so off topic but, that track is burned into my brain from failing it so much in Gran Turismo 2 as a kid.

[@flare2000x]

Would be tricky to do in vanilla. Maybe he needs to do one in Magnolia county called Road Superior

[@Subreon]

@@_Valravn cars like the viper very much hated that track lol

[@_Valravn]

@ guess what my favorite car was lol

[@Subreon]

@@_Valravn based. (also the blue and yellow subie rally car uwu)

[@hillbillysimmer7120]

I work at a cemetery, and they are definitely a green space. Lots of care goes into the upkeep, and a cemetery gets daily visitors, especially on days like Mother's Day, Father's Day, Veteran's Day, etc. Depending on the size of the cemetery, indoor and outdoor services can be a daily event. That's in addition to life celebration events held by the cemetery staff. They also cover more ground than most people realize. Ours is in what can be characterized as a small town, but there are over 20K people buried in our 52 acre cemetery.

[@JonZiegler6]

have a look at cemetaries in central europe, they are really like parks

[@_fruitnveg]

Fun fact: Morro Bay is the location of the fictional Night City, home to Cyberpunk 2020, Red and 2077

[@rust412iop]

It’s also the location of Paleto bay in gta 5

[@Studio-Ess-]

Huh, did not know that. Kinda cool to hear

[@brendanmohareful]

Let's do a cyberpunk 2077 build on it

[@samwyzegg7935]

I went to Cal Poly! Love Morro Bay and the whole area!

[@markovic2018]

Hey Phil, as someone from SoCal, I would love to see some California-style builds in the future, such as a pier. Also, I would change Main Street to Segunda Beach Boulevard, as down here streets that link Highways to the town itself are the _____ boulevard, and the street along the waterfront is Main Street. (at least in Cali)

[@CityPlannerPlays]

Without a doubt! And I will do that with teh name change! Good call

[@simonsv9449]

@@CityPlannerPlays How about a spanish version? Playa Del Segunda Boulevard? I like the sound of that more.

[@EinherjarLucian]

Here in WA, or at least in King County, the linking roads often have the names of both towns. "Woodinville - Fall City Road," "Woodinville - Redmond Road," etc.

[@brandonrico6223]

​​@@simonsv9449As a Spanish speaker Boulevard Segunda Playa would be the correct way to say it in Spanish.

[@WillCSOfficial]

I have a slight suspicion this series will get me into vanilla CS2... Excited for this Phil!

[@danielbarbosa1377]

@WillCSOfficial I think I'd be more excited for a modded series, even a "semi modded series" haha, but I'll give it a chance

[@Ascaron1337]

Nah, it won't. Vanilla is still lightyears behind its possibilities. If you look at the zoning problems already I'd throw my hardware out the window.

[@P4T0mtz14]

The U building totally worked even if slopped, there's nothing more low rent than your window facing the containment wall of the street above. Those imperfections are the true detail of cities.

[@iain.sm.c]

Verde Beach has always been your best series in my opinion, and I know that Saguna Beach will join it, if not surpass it. Can't wait to see where this goes!

[@GC-tr5tn]

this is probably the wackiest grid i’ve ever seen you make and i’m here for it

[@shaneintheuk2026]

I agree. This really looks like a town that’s grown organically rather than built in one go. Throw in random kinks and turns for the main roads and it could be in Europe.

[@garyklyce713]

Feels like the start of something special

[@CityPlannerPlays]

Thank you, Gary!!

[@danielvital6836]

The French pack TOTALLY works with a beach. I’ve been to Nice/Antibes and it looks like that and is on the Mediterranean.

[@skiscHans]

I was also thinking about the Mediterranean coastal cities

[@davidkehoe8743]

Really looking forward to seeing how this one progresses and how it contrasts/compares with Magnolia County. Love how those French row homes look along the coast.

[@CityPlannerPlays]

I plan on going in an entirely different direction and focusing on tourism, which will impact the order and what assets I place. Should be fun!

[@einnamewaregut]

Yes! Thank you so much, Verde Beach is my favourite series ever (just a few weeks ago I finished my build-along in Cities Skylines 1). I am hyped!

[@lpjdrummer12295]

We got a new City Planner series before Nicolet Bay, Clearwater County, and GTA 6 lol.

[@wyntoniscringe]

lmao i forgot those series havent had a finale yet

[@CityPlannerPlays]

[@Haalaine]

I just want to say, I'm so glad to have found this channel. I discovered you a month or so back with your first Memoriapolis video and have been hooked ever since. I've loved following Magnolia County's journey (and need to work out the time to go back and watch from the beginning lol) and so am absolutely ecstatic to be here fort he start of a new city! Hello Segunda Beach, may the sun ever grace your resident's faces as you grow to be a home for many! Thank you for bringing me two months of enjoyment CPP, and here's to hopefully many more!

[@charli216]

As a civil engineer the tight intersection corners are killing me haha! If you'd like you could consider joining 2 adjacent roads together on a larger angle onto a single road leading to a T section (like near the coast), and for the junctions that form a triangle in the middle you could make them turn as they approach the intersection to make the angles more realistic and possible more functional.

[@JackDaloots]

I'm so happy you know Moro Bay EXISTS let alone made a map of my family's favorite vacation area!! Please make the Embarcadero!!

[@joealexander9921]

Growing up with this being where I went for vacation as a kid has me so excited with what you do with it and the area around it. Because it isn’t just Morro Bay, it is pismo, cambria, Avila, and San Luis Obispo. It is such a great area for you to explore and vacation in IRL if you want to get out of the Wisconsin cold.

[@joealexander9921]

Also sorry for the first sentence. But the agriculture that this region is known for is wine grapes. Tons of winery’s inland from there. And more inland in the San Joaquin valley (where I live) is the largest agricultural powerhouse in the world. So you can have industrial ag and bouji ag as well!

[@swiggityy_8465]

Started with verde beach & keep coming back every so often when the playlists get bulky. Thanks for being a relaxing way to end the day for the last few years, much love friend. Here’s to 1M soon ❤️

[@misterpi3.14]

I'm excited for this series. I watched every Verde Beach episode. I was super bummed that there was so many issues with CS2. I stopped following it so hopefully they have fixed this issues.

[@lemax7769]

Your new map is amazing. Maybe a little to steep in some places. But great and I love the idea of several starting areas!

[@KeepitClassical]

I am SO excited by this new build! Mostly because I love Morro Bay, but also because I've really missed Verde Beach! I really appreciate how you are preserving the waterfront. It's very much inline with the California Coastal Commission. That might be interesting to incorporate into a storyline?

[@bradleystevens4618]

Dude that Morro Bay map is sick!! Love Morro Bay!

[@maxxlanglois]

9:50 Am I the only one who would LOVE a video where you explain everything you do and why in these situations? The grading, the elevation choice, the shape of the road. I find myself really struggling with realism, especially compared to your cities. Cheers!

[@owenglover3279]

Love that you're building on this map! Recently visited Morro Bay for the first time.

[@trosinb]

I love this map. It's not a bunch of squares. The intro area isn't just stuck in the middle of the map. and there's a heart in the middle of the bay. Nice work man. keep it up!

[@richardvandertulip4061]

First thing next episode - that interchange! Imagine being a trucker on the highway and, "Oh boy- we're comin' up on Segunda Beach! Time to sit in traffic!" Also, I know you didn't want to do it yet, but I'm glad you're appeasing Myrtle with a firehouse.

[@Xiyng]

Considering the direction of the traffic, a slip lane or even just a dedicated turning lane might actually suffice for now - unless traffic patterns change, of course. Perhaps it won't be sufficient for long, but it would be a really simple fix.

[@lucasthedragon7680]

Oh hey! Didn't expect to see my hometown here! 😊

[@aaghaj]

As a person who lives in California and visits Morro all the time, I can't wait to watch this build unfold!! Great work per usual, CPP :)

[@homasoftwares8124]

Love that this is finally here I enjoy everything about it. The way you discuss everything a little. The fact that your build gets created on the fly and so on. It makes the build feel fun!

[@xphoenixrising]

I really needed this today. Thank you for being you, Phil.

[@busselrob]

Lovely, a new series that I can follow again from the start! I love that your parks are completely connected. You can basically walk from Park to park without having to cross any neighbourhoods. Would be great to have a Green Arterial through the city! Waiting for episode 2 while trying to catch up again with Magnolia County playlist.

[@apologu]

I’m from SLO, my heart skipped a beat when i heard Morro Bay!

[@kowhaiii]

I will never not be amazed at how landscaping really makes a city come alive!!! This is looking great, can't wait to see the series continue :D

[@mallenwho]

Wherever possible, water towers should always be on Hills and local high points. That's why they're built on towers in the first place! The water storage should be the highest point in the community so that the water can be gravity fed to all buildings (not pumped). There are also local storage reservoirs on top of hills all over the place!

[@simongeard4824]

Yes, though high towers are often a substitute for high terrain. If you've got a good hill to work with, you're more likely to see a much larger reservoir built at ground level - or built into the hill - since building big elevated towers is expensive.

[@FunkyChunkyBrainDmg]

22:50 "One See Two" is another banger! Is it another up and coming piece of music? Loving the fresh start as well!

[@CityPlannerPlays]

It is! I’ve got 40 new tracks that I’m processing right now. Coming soon!

[@blkmamba]

I think what makes your content stand out is your story telling. Love the connective tissue with this build and my favorite build VB. That beach front property is going to give off a Miami Beach vibe one day. I can't wait to see what you do with this build.

[@makyostarr515]

Just wanted to say you and CS2 have helped me discover that I want to go into civil engineering and design coming from a mechanical eng. degree with which I had no clue what I wanted to do. So thanks for doing what you do and making the fascinating content you make! 🙌

[@sneakybogan]

I have watched your videos for years and always wondered what you looked like, and was pleasantly surprised to see your face in the sponsor at the start of this vid 😂 it's nice to put a face to the voice Ive listened to for a long time :)

[@funforall666]

ITS ALMOST BEEN A MONTH! THE PEOPLE NEED MORE

[@linuskorte6045]

I really like that not everything is pre plant, it reminds me of your best episodes of your citybuilders. But i like to see you not rushing through everything so quickly. Really enjoining your videos thou!

[@MegaDinish]

Man, I remember watching you when you had 40K subscribers...you have sponsors and all now for your vids. Alot of improvements in the vid as well. Glad you made it, hope you grow more always.

[@IceDree]

Hallelujah! Verde Beach's successor is finally here! Looking forward to seeing the city grow.

[@333yipeee]

Omg yesssssss! When I started your channel I discovered Verde beach and had 50 episodes to go back and watch haha. Now I get to watch from day one 🎉👏🏻👏🏻

[@DesselOrdo]

New city!!! Woot!! That said, that one massive medium density midrise is almost as skyline dominating/eye grabbing as the water tower that was supposed to be the citys most striking feature during its early years. That one tiny nitpick aside, looking great so far, and I cant wait to see more!!!

[@Sundown42]

"I want to create a city that is much more affordable!" *Uses Morro Bay as inspiration* Riiiiiiight...

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

Great build to start off a new series 👌 🎉

I’m so excited for this series! It would be awesome if you could weave in some lore from the other Vanilla builds too!

Yay, great start of a new series! I really really like the fast progress. This could be the series where you beat Biffa when it comes to viewership!

[@caramelldansen2204]

I thought Sugondeez nuts

[@AceTheWindowGuy]

I love all of the episodes you produce. Such great show. Even my kids sit and watch. I think that this is gonna be a good series. I can’t wait for the expansions and beach front revitalization

[@jimhearsonwriter]

I bet the early settlers in the fancy French terraced houses LOVED the idea of five blocks of low-rent housing springing up in their back gardens.

[@waytoobiased]

especially given how California is with NIMBYs

[@kennyobrienaiti]

So happy to see a vanilla build. Excited for this series as I gave up on Magnolia County on account of reliance on mods.

[@torreyahlgren]

I went to college in San Luis Obispo, just inland from Morro Bay so I know the landscape and I’m thrilled to see how this gets built out! It’s a gorgeous area that is pretty remote from the big population centers of CA, so it still feels sleepy and like a yee olde beache towne.

[@Fredris1]

Thanks Phil! Great start, can't wait to see where the town goes.

[@Mafalgar]

I just started rewatching the Verde Beach series for what must be the 100'th time at this point, can't wait to see what you'll be planning next!

[@spiderine1prime]

Thank you for editing this into an episode! I've tried to watch the streams many times but streams don't seem to be my thing.

[@jensbumsel7449]

thanks for doing a vanilaish build, haven't watched or played for a while and all the mods make it rough to get back into it, hope you'll tell us what mods you miss the most in a few episodes

[@greger1332]

Really been missing a series like this… keep up the good work!

[@Xiyng]

Looking like a great start. I'm especially fond of embracing the terrain, even thought it's more work. What I often do myself when zoning next to a sloped road is leaving an empty zoning cell between the road and the first zoned cell, so the back of the zoned lot doesn't look too crazy due to the terrain. If the road isn't too sloped, this isn't mandatory of course, and having fewer tiles of depth also helps. Anyway, leaving empty cells like this is also a good opportunity for some landscaping!

[@ss20z__a]

Morrow rock one of my favorite landmarks, so surreal to see you work this region❤

[@Hubbubb22-citiesskylines]

@39:15 -- yes! This is a great example of just how awesome this game is. This gorgeous little complex of affordable housing with all the detailing would simply not have been possible in the CS1 base game. Also love how they're facing the water tower. Quaint, pleasant, tranquil view.

[@leobrandonn]

wow when I heard the audio in portuguese I was surprised, nice work, it's very good to watch the video in my first language

[@zarrennerraz7723]

Excited for the future of this new build. I feel it will bring the joy we all felt with Verde Beach.

[@Just.nathans]

I can’t put into words how excited i am for this series!!!!

[@mattlapointe5814]

I've watched your verde beach series roughly 6 times. Looking forward to this!!!

[@calebpaine4934]

The city has a lovely beginning. The butte was particularly noticeable. In Hermiston, Oregon, there is a park called Butte Park. It has sports fields, a playground, an aquatic center, and hiking trails. If mulligans were required or you wanted to make that area more of a community focus, it might serve as a source of inspiration.

[@abhishekchaudhari913]

Missed Verde Beach so much. Excited to see how the successor does! Also, we need the shore to be like Founders Park back in VB

[@ianlakin1750]

I feel honored to be watching something based off my hometown! Moro Bay, CA

[@justinsinke2088]

Woo, vanilla build! I really enjoyed the Verde Beach build because I loved the problem solving needed to be creative within the limitations of the system, and it feels to me more organic and realistically messy that way rather than when you have so many mods it's like you're using developer tools. I'll admit, the spaced out starting locations that are non-square are throwing me off. That doesn't really feel "vanilla", but I don't have the game myself so I'll have to take your word for it that that's something you can just do when making a custom map in vanilla.

[@Incarn8s]

music always going so much harder than has any right to on a city builder game!! , absolute bangers mate

[@rafaelmelo6693]

its so cool to see the city from the ground level!! more of this please!

Thanks so much for dropping the map for us, excited to get to build along and compare my build with Phil's!

i wasn't there for the beginning of Verde Bitch, iIm so glad i get to see the birth of this new project! Can't wait to see what bright future awaits Segunda Beach!

[@ronjoshuagorospe1230]

I just finished watching Verde Beach series, it's a masterpiece. Can't wait to see where this goes ❤

[@aaronallblacks]

8:00 it still boggles my mind that CS doesn't have Ctrl+Z functionality for landscaping, it is the most tedious portion of both games since you have to constantly save/reload lest you irrepairably bork a water source or something

[@CityPlannerPlays]

Completely agree.

[@Back2BaseX]

I’m sad I missed this on twitch. Thanks for the video. Looks like a start to a beautiful city. I love the map!

[@victorvcj2]

Once Segunda Beach is large enough. I recommend creating an aquarium somewhere in the city. It could be this world's version of the Monterey Bay Aquarium, and a couple of works of media have already put a large aquarium in the Morro Bay equivalent. I think it would fit in pretty well.

[@Leopuppers]

Just installed your map. Super exited to try it, it looks so pretty! :3

[@EternalGamingNet]

Really great start to a new community. For a town of its current size the city services being on Main Street makes sense. Maybe to cap the french row homes off place 2x2 or 2x3 French medium density/mixed use at the end of the blocks to get a corner lot?

[@ab_shake_24]

the french water tower on top of the hill looks really charming.

[@adept5500]

The terrain around the cemetery seems ironic, since a lot of old cemeteries in California are in hills, exactly because they were hard to develop, and no good for farming

[@briankosmoski4782]

One thing I loved about Verde Beach was the narrative and storyline and why certain neighborhoods developed, feels like that has been a bit lost here; just building to build.

[@TyloLeitharc]

i always felt left out as i didnt wanna re watch/stat from the beginning of verde beach! but now! oh boy im excited to be here from the beginning

[@cameronlawton6556]

Was just camping in Morro Bay last weekend! Love that area so much!

[@londontoffee]

Great start! Segunda Beach is going to be the GOAT

[@Liam-im4rz]

I love the video as always. Something I would love to see is grading like 8:03 in the landscape, hills aren’t perfect, in the past there may have been a small road up the hill and is now turned into something like a fire track or later on a path in a small reserve within the city, then a proper park. I love seeing these small details around my city and makes it more realistic. 10/10 video nonetheless.

[@nexway9173]

From my playing with the French pack I recommend always putting a 2x2 zone of mixed use or office and then you can get nice wrap around corner buildings!

[@skyechimes658]

This is really lovely for being the start of a city! The French assets are beautiful.

[@gjf0829]

So glad to see another (mostly) vanilla city build break ground!

[@viceroni]

This is awesome. I live like 30 minutes from Morro Bay and the map looks just like it! (minus the Rock)
