They FIXED the "Not Enough Customers" Bug & I'm LOSING Money! | Cities: Skylines 2 | Linden #7

[@SavageDiffguy]

Just wanted to note for you that you can buy some of the moutain tops behind the university you setup and you can place some wind turbines up there. I've done quite a few of them and will have enough power for my city and some to export. Just a thought. Furthermore, you can place them strategically to where they look essetically pleasing along the moutain scape as well. It can really look amazing. I've even started testing how to get small towns in the moutain tops as well by careful smoothing of certain surfaces and sloping to get them up there with roads and planting trees along the moutain side to make it look like a majestic travel to a moutain lodge or soome secuded area of outlanders. Hopefully CO comes out with things like sky villages or businesses were you could place maybe a resort up there. One other thing to note is that you can slide the nodes around like when you were adjusting your garbage area this allows you to have far more granular control over your lines.grab a node and slide it down the blu line to where you want a bend to go etc. I usually do this on farms where power lines go through so i use all of the land and lose only the small square at the base of the lines.

[@brother282]

I'd love to see some outpost settlements far away from the main city that you try and incorporate. Maybe a small village built into the mountain for an ore industry town, or a farming settlement far upriver from the city. Something that'll require some interesting transit options to connect with your city. Love the vid as always

[@Patriots017]

I'm pretty sure part of the problem could be that the trash places are importing trash, so they just constantly fill up. So maybe assigning them to districts will help mitigate that. Could be wrong, just my two cents.

[@baolocle1708]

I think your point is totally legit, given that I once seen "Garbage" stored in my cargo train station alongside other goods.

[@FajreroCintilo]

​​@@baolocle1708 we can export and sell garbage?!

[@rizzorepulsive7704]

@@FajreroCintilo i dont know about export but you definitely import it

[@Babyfacenelson1981]

All the roads/rail and everything on city skylines is a lot more precise in number 2. So your probably right with having to assign districts, ive been doing it with police but not trash.

[@baolocle1708]

@@FajreroCintilo Looks like it's a thing. Also, mails can be carried using trains/ships so the mailing facilities can benefit from being closed to the train station/harbor as well.

[@mexieboy1]

if you zone the plots different sizes (some 4x4, 4x2, 3x2 etc) and mix the high rise office, shops and housing your skyline will diversify and will be way less repetative :)

[@SineN0mine3]

At least for residential this seems to help with the high rent problem somewhat. If there's demand you tend to get the largest possible block size by default but those house are of course more expensive than smaller ones. Having variety, trending towards more smaller homes seems to keep the rent at a reasonable level. Large homes make people happier, at least in the early game; large blocks can negate a lack of services meaning you can hold out on providing police and education services for longer but the downside is that your land values will skyrocket when you eventually do add those services. If you've already got lots of high rent in a particular neighbourhood then that should be an ideal location for higher density. If the area is poorly suited to high density, you should zone smaller blocks in that are or potentially add more streets to increase the total number of homes. It seems like you can avoid having to fork out for tertiary education by maintaining lower land values since the game is quite generous at giving you extra tiles. I'm really enjoying the fact that there are multiple avenues to successful growth compared to the previous game especially since the hotfix patch.

[@adamk8376]

Would have been cool to put the medical university right next to that hospital you built. Turn it into a university hospital like in a lot of big cities. Philadelphia for instance has the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania right next to the University of Pennsylvania and the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.

[@Chadmlad]

I see that you only have one output for water outside your city. Since pipes can only transport a certain limit of water, you're completely bottlenecked, reducing the total amount exported to outside connections. Another issue is you've put all your water pumps on the same piping, right next to each other. The issue is, for the same reason, water output limits. Try to spread their water output to multiple pipes for effective use. Having your pipes at -20 m allows you to move them without conflict throughout your city. I personally install my pipes to Water Pumps at -20 and connect them to my main piping system, along with a direct line outside the city. Most of this applies to electicity aswell. Hope I helped 😊

[@voldyriddle3337]

other players are also complaing about the garbage problem. its probably a bug in the game

[@ConflictNerd]

Yeah, I've seen mixed opinions on what's going on with it, which is why I'm willing to give the expanded processing a shot to see if it works out - which, so far, it has! If things get bad, I think I can just delete and replace some of the buildings, for now.

[@andreafire27]

Yep it's bug they acknowledged it in the comments of the last hotfix patch post, they said that are investigating to resolve the bug

[@litemanjr]

I noticed that. Played for 4 hours straight without having any garbage collection. No one ever complained and i finally notcied it at about 11,000 population. No one ever complained though

[@DCKINGS2319]

​​@@ConflictNerdYou need to get rid of some of the traffic lights or keep building up traffic in some areas.

[@fast-toast]

The bug is to do with the city importing garbage when it needs to burn its own garbage.

[@Thromash]

A few roundabouts could help with Traffic issues. A lot.

[@suryaganapathy5813]

Could you move the sewage drain towards the end of the city? Having it next to the college looks very bad. Also, having basic needs like a clinic, fire depot and a police station for every district may improve the city. I really want that drainage pipe to be moved away from the college. Please check on that ASAP.

[@PhoenixWwrong]

All those house demolitions were depressing lol, especially for the hospital since you ended up creating a new block that could have fit

[@laurengabriel3724]

I know that cs2 leaves a lot to be desired at release but honestly I STILL find it addictive and entertaining even with the bugs

[@Harvest711]

I've been loving everything you do for awhile now. I normally have more fun watching you play a game than actually playing the same game myself. Great stuff, thanks for sharing with us.

[@mrblock1318]

I had this problem in my city. I found out i could just keep building and deleting the landfills. Expensive, but it worked to get rid of the excess garbage for now. I definitely need them to fix this as it is expensive bandage.

[@viridian8786]

Something I've seen with your city is the lack of services, particularly the range for police, healthcare, post service and road services. Would be good to remedy that either with upgrades or more assets👍

[@matteoboido2241]

19:43 Maybe on very long road you should replace the semaphore at the intersections with a give away signs. This way the main traffic is able to flow better

[@darioschaake9416]

I'd love a road service depot build very soon. I hope your gonna do it one day

[@irspecialer]

I also hate the snow in the game. I always lose my mouse pointer when it snows. Also, need a way to size up or change the color of our mouse pointers.

[@mustyaslan99]

Even when the screen goes underground mode which has bit of gray tone and completely invisible mouse pointer

[@zengrath]

In my city, I just built a ton of incinerators and upgraded them and I'm making a ton of electricity that I am selling that helps offset the insane monthly fees and I am doing ok. Still making 30k a mionth in my 40k city satisfying all demands. I did have to delete the cargo port though, I found things were bugged and not exporting or importing properly like mail and soon as I deleted it my mail problems vanished and my profits went way up likely from industries now being able to actually import and export goods instead of stuck in port.

[@FlorianXXV]

Quick of the top of my head theory about the Trees snapping to the Roads. Maybe it was once intentioned that you could place trees along the Roads yourself, instead of using the Sidewalk Tools. And the snapping is a relic of that. Or it's nothing and just a programming quirk with the snapping

[@cmdr_stretchedguy]

Known bug: around 70K population, the neighbor cities start importing all their trash, which literally doubles or triples your trash (adds 100-200t of garbage). I had to build 7 upgraded incinerators just to keep up. Then add in the buggy traffic where they stop for no reason, the excessively short traffic lights (only letting 2-3 cars go per green light) and traffic quickly degenerates to gridlock. This means goods aren't delivered, trash isn't picked up, sick people arn't picked up leading to dead, and the hearses cant get to pick them up.

[@TapIn-24]

Great to see consistent uploads. Keep it up!

[@kingatlar7036]

your medium/high density building looks quite cramp...it might be better if you leave some spaces and build walkpath behind it..with decorated trees

[@GoldPrisma]

I had a landfill that was full, so I made another one. Then I unlocked the incinerator and recycling plant.. Plopped those further away from my city. Started emptying the full landfill to the new area with the incinerator, new landfill and recycling plant.. Idk what caused this to happen to me but before I deleted the old landfill I had roughly 8 million. After deleting I had nearly 200 million.

[@PauperJ]

NerdroSoft Inc.'s OS, The Nerdrotron 70, from 1970, never had too few customers. Lines were miles long waiting to get the updated versions.

[@SagPegasus]

Did anyone see that bus skip the station at 50.28? Same or different lines? Because if same line, that's impressive - the second bus wasn't going to wait behind the first and clog traffic worse than it was.

[@hugochan2821]

Incineration reduce waste volume by 95 percent, and some can be reused as construction material, while some need to be disposed in landfill. Incineration is no magic to make waste disappear, by it does help prolonged the lifespan of landfill, where you can store 20 times more waste in the same area. And landfill are very large, some cover the whole valley, so I don’t think it is a bug in cities skylines that you faced waste problem. You need to get the scale right of how much space you need for waste facility. You can go to google map to check for scale of stuff.

[@thadizzie1]

Good stuff! Its comimg alomg nicely. I saw in the comments that maybe outside the city is bringing trash amd they maybe right. Biffa did a livestream and he has no trash collecting of anykind and there are no complaints. Another thing he said was about high rents. He rezones the residential a cple rows smaller and then the complaining stops.

[@SagPegasus]

If you don't set up trash collection, neighboring regions will come get it for you, but it's not cheap.

[@thadizzie1]

​@SagPegasus aaaa...I see. Interesting. It is a cool option to have.

[@gavin3188]

I hope they also fixed the solar power station not discharging at night, it has just been sitting idle at night not doing anything. 😢 I hope that’s one of the things they fixed

[@joeerving7174]

its not the incinerator, its because of how the game looks at trash. It treats trash the same as any other resource in the game (like steel or wood) The cargo hubs (train,ship,plane) try to keep in stock in the cities warehouses all the resources. Trash included. Hubs ship in trash and stock it in warehouses, the recycling center and landfill and incinerator take the trash from the warehouses, they fill there storage and then dont send out trucks cause no where to put it. Right now the fix is to zone a district around the trash processing facilities and ban import. No matter how much you can process your city will just keep ordering more and filling warehouses.

[@N0_FP5]

Well, excited to see how this willl work on console

[@eramferguson1701]

You might want to add subways/metro lines to help.

[@ataith224]

I honestly think that the point of CS2 is that players make more use of the "assign a district" feature on all the service buildings like healthcare and so on. I barely see anyone using it at all

[@ilo3456]

It is just difficult to break old habits since well we aren't really used to it

[@TheGribbleNator]

I made a point of using it very early on and found that it would just bug out a lot, especially if I forgot to change my district to include new sprawl that I've added. You'll get "Waiting for ambulance" that'll just sit there for the rest of your playthrough. Even if you delete everything around it including the building it stems from, that icon never goes away now. I haven't actually noticed any benefit whatsoever to using the districts except that I can make a lot more money by charging people for parking on the street, so I usually just make a huge district and enable the street parking fines.

[@dovos8572]

i have a 160k city and 8 incinerators and the medium dense buildings are complaining more than not about it. i thought they wanted to fix the service spam but it doesn't seem to work. i have over 10 elementary schools and i would probably need another 10 to get enough space for everyone. i already have one in every block so i would need to put them besides each other to get enough. they also insta fill up when i build a new one. another bug like the garbage one is with the crematoriums. i have waves of everyone complaining that the cars don't get to them but the reason for that is because they get stuck in traffic they themselve create because i have so many of them to combat that. i have over 10x the needed capacity for dead people and they still complain. districts might help but i don't want to use them. another bug is the headron collider. it takes 100x more water and sewage than it should. i would need to place at least 100 water pumps and sewage pipes for that building alone.

[@Oswald_Thatendswald]

The bug isn't fixed for me. All the signature commercial buildings like the little diner are still having that problem. Also, like everyone in the city us pissed about high rent even though they say there's fair taxes and there's plenty of low income housing. So I think that's a bug too. My medical services are also buggy. I'll have full green coverage and still be getting a -1 for unreliable healthcare. Just perpetually at -1.

Personally, I think they released the game too early. They should have done more testing because of how many bugs there were. And the performance issues still need fixed. I have to play on decently low settings on my high-end PC. But to be fair, my PC parts are not the best (Specifically my CPU).

How on earth do you have so many high density housing, i can build 2 at most then demand drops forever

[@LulfsBloodbag]

There are two ways to get high density builds. The cheesy way, or the legit way. The legit way is to have a college and university as students drive up medium and high density demand. The cheesy way is don't zone any housing other than high and eventually the game forces homes to be built where avaliable

[@MrTaylork1]

Yeah if you ignore the green bar for ldr, eventually demand will be so high that rent will be completely unaffordable and people will start asking for higher density as that is all they can afford.
