[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

Beautiful work my friend, super creative. That roof is just wowzers trousers

[@skilzthatkilz11]

Oh wow, thank you! That means a lot coming from you @OVERCHARGEDEGG, I'm a huge fan!

[@CaptainDarknessHERO]

Such a great build to show off the creativity one can do through modding. Those Dark glitched shadows and be resolved by putting shadows on Low. Saw city planner do that in a live stream some days ago.

[@skilzthatkilz11]

Thanks! Credit to you for pointing out the issue with my utilities! And oh the shadows on the roundabout?

[@CaptainDarknessHERO]

@@skilzthatkilz11 Yeah the Roundabout shadows. They also appear on retaining walls. It has something to do with shadows from the terrain and from what i saw CPP do was just putting shadow quality to low.

[@skilzthatkilz11]

@CaptainDarknessHERO oh cool good to know, thanks for the tip!

[@skilzthatkilz11]

Can confirm this fixed the shadows! Thanks again!

[@holzhobelgruen9759]

@@skilzthatkilz11 You can disable terrain shadows in the advanced graphic settings to keep the higher quality shadows.

haven't seen your channel pop up before mate but i have to say im impressed and gonna subscribe! i've never seen stuff like this done in CS2 yet. reminds me of all the old CS1 trick we'd have to do! so creative, great work.

[@skilzthatkilz11]

Hey thank you!!

[@JarmoJarvi]

Golly! What a painstaking process, and the end result is pure gold! 🤩

[@Lilianne8]

Loving this and all the detail and time you put into it! The patterned tiles under the little triangle and especially under the trees look very European imo, love that lil detail there. Happy I've found so many new creators recently to follow and admire 👍

[@skilzthatkilz11]

Thank you so much!

[@alvarofuster4272]

Wow! Your ability to custom make assets like this new train station is unmatched. Really good job with it. Hope your Europe trip was good and welcome back!

[@skilzthatkilz11]

Thank you! Glad to be back and playing haha. And I would check out that video I linked by DH, he's _really_ good with his custom builds

[@alvarofuster4272]

@@skilzthatkilz11 I will definitely give it a look! 👍

^First Video I see of you and WOW! One of the most beautiful build series I've seen so far in CS2. Keep up the good work, you gained a new subscriber

[@Gaming-With-Raymond]

There’s a great mod that gives you pedestrian stairs. Would work really nicely with this build

[@skilzthatkilz11]

Does that require the custom asset pack? I've been afraid to install that haha, I keep reading that it causes issues...

[@Gaming-With-Raymond]

@@skilzthatkilz11 not sure but it’s possible. I have the custom asset pack and have no issues. Just need to make sure it gets loaded before entering your city

[@user-wq9mw2xz3j]

Super cool train station. I need such things as ploppable assets now! Or at least having them easier to build oneself, i cant be bothered to spend quite that amount of time on just a station.

[@skilzthatkilz11]

Ha honestly I think I went overboard here, I need to find a balance with detailing, city expansion, and actual management... But yeah, can't wait for the asset importer so things like this are ploppable.

[@mpcamposz]

"If this is anything like gree, let me know" Meanwhile the store getting browner than feces LMAOOOO I completely lost it Great vid bud

Liked and subscribed! You're doing amazing work, keep it up!

[@skilzthatkilz11]

Aw thanks, appreciate it!!

[@ProbablyJustJack]

Just discovered you as well as DH, and I love it. I havent gotten CS II yet, but I am really thinking about it now that modding has come along. Cheers

[@skilzthatkilz11]

Hey thanks! DH is absolutely unreal, always love his stuff. And yes I feel comfortable recommending the game now! Especially after the detailer's patch and Econ 2.0. Custom assets should be out in another month or so to (fingers crossed)

[@_mike628]

The station is looking awesome!

[@skilzthatkilz11]

Thanks!

[@Neo_Atlantis]

Kudos for even attempting that at this stage of the game! Turned out pretty cool and takes me one step closer to CS2 interest.

[@shadowspawn1528]

Station looks great!!

[@skilzthatkilz11]

Thanks!!

[@alexhentschel1080]

the station looks great!

[@ummmchileanywaysso2308]

I've been a fan of this game since 2017/18 and this is possibly the most impressive CS build I've ever seen (and i consume A LOT of CS content) I wish you could upload this to Paradox Mods but I don't think that's possible yet. Keep it up man !

[@skilzthatkilz11]

Oh dang thank you, that's so kind! I might be able to upload the overall save file....will check that out. But yeah, this one burned me out haha

[@Jeffreyd337]

I think it turned out really nicely.

[@Vyrus_101]

First time on your channel. Nice build, fun to watch, thanks!

[@skilzthatkilz11]

Thank you so much!

[@tristanwolff2136]

Your patience is crazy! great build

[@flippnorge7105]

New to the channel, very happy i found it! Absolutely incredible build, didnt even know you could do builds like this in cs2. You made me proper chuckle by the palpatine voice, plz keep doing voices. Keep it up dude!

[@skilzthatkilz11]

Ha thanks, debated keeping that in there haha

[@namanpreet_singh]

The paths to the tram are extremely steep. Maybe put the covered path on either sides and get gentle slopes for the descending paths. They’ll be connected to both the bus and the train.

[@Vekhh]

Chachi Treads brought to you by Coca-Cola and Pepsi xD

[@vvolters.1]

The general areas should have the hang out zone to increase activity in those areas. You could do it in the seating area and the top roof level to give more pedestrian activity and make them feel like plazas.

[@skilzthatkilz11]

Oh does that mod work now? It never did anything when I used it before...

[@merryntrescott1940]

This looks amazing!

[@skilzthatkilz11]

Thank you!

[@adamn3471]

Incredible- such a creative build and I could actually keep up with what you were doing - is it possible to add building assets over the station

[@skilzthatkilz11]

Thank you! And hmm above all the pillars? I don't think so because the buildings want to snap to the terrain

[@joeyd0923]

Love that station. Way too complicated for my builds but still fun to see what’s possible.

I'm your 1000th subscriber! Nice work!

Ayyyy, nice! Thanks for subbing! You definitely get a district or monument named after you.

nice tram station- oh

[@AdamZugone]

13:46 uhhh, yeah, that would be red.. I assume you're colorblind though this is the first video that I'm watching from you 😅 Green is at like 1/3 of that first hue bar. It's basically the color that the doors were already

[@skilzthatkilz11]

Ugh lol yeah maybe the recolor mod is a bit beyond my skill set

[@mccraveiro]

Beautiful!

[@cracksha23]

So happy to see another episode! Looks great

[@ryansliwinski]

maybe do some sort of custom skatepark in that empty area on top of central station. whole lot of concrete could work well with some of the skatepark assets

[@skilzthatkilz11]

Oh cool, that's a good idea! Will give that a shot

[@OscarHFajardo]

You should definitely do a European build they’re cities are so interesting and visually stunning. Especially great public transportation and so many pedestrian friendly areas.

[@skilzthatkilz11]

I did a small European village in my countryside episode and yeah, it was really fun! A whole city would be dope to try

[@OscarHFajardo]

@@skilzthatkilz11 I’ll definitely be looking forward to that . They do urbanism right. Get harder and harder to come back.

[@miculica]

I love when i see notification of DdM

[@jezzzNL]

I hope that they would create a real slab in the game where you can make is as the base of a building, base of the road, textures, trees, land, and water that water will also stay there. This is also what is missing in CS 1, where we cannot create a functional viaduct. where you can also zone it.

[@skilzthatkilz11]

We'll see what people build when the asset importer is finally finished! Maybe something like that will finally be possible ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@deetoher]

Not having direct access from the tram stop to the train station without crossing the road seems a bit of a wasted opportunity.

[@skilzthatkilz11]

I like to think there's an elevator behind the underground wall haha

[@DalisYn]

Man I wish I had these detailing skills. My city is nice but it doesn’t look like a detailers city

[@ToshisanMotonaka]

this was amazing!

[@skilzthatkilz11]

Your avatar is amazing, I totally need to do a Cape Canaveral episode at some point, would definitely fit the theme

[@mrskinny8555]

Is it possible to place elevated parks on the top of the sunken train station? Or do they just snap to terrain like buildings. If not then can you place a park asset just to make it look like there is a park?

[@skilzthatkilz11]

Ah no I tried this off screen, it had to be attached to a road and yeah it snaps to the terrain, which puts it underneath the quay walls

[@mrskinny8555]

@skilzthatkilz11 yeh that's unfortunate. I mean you could just leave it. It looks incredible, I can't believe you did all of it.

[@rynezuzinec688]

you should get the Ctrl+C mod it will make it much easier to do the pillar work.

[@skilzthatkilz11]

Is that pretty stable now? I was wary of the "alpha" label...

[@joeyd0923]

Every time I’ve used it, it’s worked for me but I don’t do as detailed builds as you or some other KZbinrs.

[@mypdf]

fyi that bus line is pretty bad as you need to take huge detours if you want to travel in the opposite direction of the loop, so maybe change that

[@mypdf]

also some office station above the train station like at frankfurrt airport would be dope

[@skilzthatkilz11]

Oh yeah, pure laziness that I didn't do the opposite direction haha. Wanted to see the usage first.

[@skilzthatkilz11]

That'd be sick! Once I unlock high density office, I'll definitely start peppering those in around Central Station

[@Ezilii]

If you aren't opposed to having dev tools enabled there is a check box to disable homeless, this is of course a temporary solution until you get housing addressed. Bye Bye Homeless will only work for those that are bugged and not just walking around.

[@skilzthatkilz11]

Ha I feel like I _should_ have a high homeless population if I don't adequately address housing

[@Ezilii]

@@skilzthatkilz11 Yes absolutely. Just watch out for the bugged ones. The mod will get rid of the stuck ones as long as the game isn't paused. I toggle it on and off to see if I'm actually making a dent.

@@skilzthatkilz11me too I am playing cs1 on console but its boring without mods so I don’t play that much

[@jayfielding1333]

The bus line shouldn't run on the tram alignment. It needs to be pushed back a block.

[@skilzthatkilz11]

Not on the couplet? Curious, why not? (A city planner, I am not lol)

[@jayfielding1333]

@@skilzthatkilz11 The idea is everyone travelling on that corridor should use the tram. The buses should trundle around the non-tram parts, dropping people off at interchange spots for them to get the tram. In real life, planners want the buses to not clog the same roads the trams use where possible.

[@skilzthatkilz11]

That is brilliant. See, this is why I love the CS community so much, I get to learn stuff like this. Thank you for the tip!

Building a European City in CS2 is not really that possible, since plots are not always 90° angles. As soon as you are off by a little bit the plots have these huge gaps that makes it really annoying to build european.

[@skilzthatkilz11]

I don't think the square zoning mechanics will ever change, but my hope is that Move It + Regional Asset packs will go a long way in making it possible. (Speaking of, I tried to build a small European village in the next episode haha)
