Why Town Centre Orientation is EVERYTHING in Vanilla Cities Skylines!

[@calvinebenezermakundi4121]

If I had anywhere near these skills, I'd talk so much trash as I detailed. That flowerbed work at the school was the kind of heat check only basketball players would know. Outstanding stuff.

[@Craftycatz1289]

that looks lovely

Just beautiful! great job!!

Wow..this is so awesome...thankyou!! and what neat stuff i learnt today....

[@fewcandy]

Glad you enjoyed it thank you!

[@edwardmiessner6502]

Nice little town with the view corridor of the town hall!

[@currently_heather243]

Though I agree with the hate for the flower beds in vanilla, they actually match the flags on the city hall and it's a super cute/creative vanilla detailing idea! Loving how everything is detailed and how the town in developing! The detailing music also gets me pumped and feel happy to detail in my own city hehe. The custom plaza behind the city hall also looks amazing! Ingenious design :D Can't wait for the next episodes! More industry and then trains - um yes please!

[@DizzleEdits]

I've personally found that zoning low-density on max. 2x2 and high density on 3x3 or 4x4 works great because of the weird scale-ratio in the game. I mean how on earth can a small residential house have the same footprint as a big *ss skyscraper lol. Anyhow great video as always fewcandy! I love the chill music :3

[@ForeverNERVOUSZan]

i actually kind of LOVE the flowerbeds. it looks like city hall paid for someone to do an outdoor art project and got exactly what they paid for haha. and if it helps, i understood that the beds in the community school yard were raised garden beds for learning, so that came across perfectly!

[@fewcandy]

Ooo yes we can definitely pretend that! Thank you Zan!

[@chercheciel]

Thanks for those videos, this is interesting and inspiring every time :) Amazing job !

[@MeDonkin]

As someone who finally jumped into playing this game, I appreciate seeing vanilla gameplay as I'm just getting started and still figuring things out

[@SimonGreenwood-n7y]

This is curing my vanilla cities addiction nicely…. Or is it feeding! Anyway love the town so far!

[@fewcandy]

Haha thanks Simon!

[@nataliabloom]

I love this playthrough so much!! Thank you for doing a vanilla series ^_^

[@the_titan_atlas]

Super late in commenting here while I try and catch up with everything, but I loved this episode! I'm filling out a suburban town in my city at the moment and there's a lot of empty space to fill, so this is giving me wonderful ideas. Thank you as always for the superb content and incredible inspiration!

[@fewcandy]

Aww thank you Rich!

[@gregbuhr5464]

Beautiful work and detailing as always! 🤩👍

[@DomKom_]

Hey FewC, I just recently discovered your channel and I'm really hooked. Currently binge watching Auridon and just love your gameplay and gamestyle. I really dig this vanilla gameplay aswell. There's one thing I've noticed and perhaps it's just me but the background music is a bit distracting in this "series". It kinda feels rushed and not suited to the gameplay. I found your Auridon style with you just talking and music in the timelapse a little bit more pleasant. But that's just me. Either way I really love your videos and am looking forward to every upload of yours. Thank you and all the best

[@Mackieee]

I feel like all I can ever say is overwhelmingly positive and that my mind is blown so I’m going to cry and critique for once … 1. I need 6 episodes a day its never long enough 2. When you go in to the pipe network I have to close my eyes and squeal … thats all I’ve got 😂 Oh btw, the new tiny park asset has a cute “community garden” looking variant and other variants which are really good for school detailing But yet again knocked it out the park, the town has such a coherent personality - and that farm build was tough to follow!

[@Yoghurtmale8]

I love the use trolley buses they look so cool. But one thing about them is they don’t need a turnaround like a tram, they can do it on a Normal road like a bus. 👍

[@toshineon]

That little park behind city hall ended up looking a lot like the little park behind the city hall where I live irl, the shape of the paths is pretty much identical lol

[@foxtrotalphazulu6418]

6:36 to help those who don't know, there is a tree delete brush for the vanilla game (including console). It can be increased in size and pressure, so you don't need to delete trees individually 👍🏻 Only recently discovered your channel. I love your building style, especially with vanilla. Subscribed.

[@Bubben_20]

Wait What, i didnt know that… How do i use it and under wich menu?

[@foxtrotalphazulu6418]

@@Bubben_20 I play on console (PS5), select any tree from the tree menu, left or right on D-Pad to increase/decrease size of brush. Up/down to increase/decrease intensity. Then press square button over the area of trees you want to delete, and they all disappear. There's also selective bulldozer where you can select what gets deleted - roads/ buildings etc. Not sure of the controls on PC. Hope that helps. 😊

[@StarStuff.]

PC doesn't have neither the tree delete brush nor the selective bulldoze. No first person either without mods. These features are console exclusive (unless there was some change in the recent updates)

[@foxtrotalphazulu6418]

@@StarStuff. Really? That's interesting. Something console has that PC doesn't! We still don't have Concerts DLC ☹

[@StarStuff.]

@@foxtrotalphazulu6418 I guess this is CO's way of making up for no mod availability on consoles 🙂

[@liquidrock2u]

I would suggest putting another police and fire station on the other side of the town, closer to the industry and farm land. That way the cars and trucks don't have to drive so far to get to the fire before it spreads.

[@MalakianM2S]

Those unaligned tiles in the school playground are going to haunt me for the rest of my days, and I'm already hate myself enough for that.

[@romainmagny]

Really like that little town, as you say, placement is everything and you managed it very very well 👍

[@ehartatak]

For the post office that is next to the park, you should take the median off the road so people can turn into it from both sides of the road. Loved the episode!

[@-GH05T-]

Great Episode! 👍👍

[@BapsXD]

Brilliant so far, you have such a unique way of using everything you probably can to your advantage. Side note toggle white mod would be a grate addition to the viewer friendly mods 😊

[@GreyKatchup]

I’m going through a really hard time right now so thank you for making this build a little bit more interesting because it’s (for the most part) unmodded (sp?) and I can participate!

[@jstokes]

Love seeing the new episode. Love the Town Hall and the new pedestrian area!

[@KeeperOfDragons30]

hi few candy i'm loving the city i'm playing on a map called fort lowell i'm finding a challange as i normally play on flat maps

What a treat so late in the cycle of Cities Skylines 1 to have such talented creators to take inspiration from. Really looking forward to the rest of the series.

[@fewcandy]

Thank you La Broca!

[@ben0329]

Love a pedestrian area. And that service point fits very well against the trolley bus depot

[@duszhduszh]

let's gooooo Edit: i love that this feels as if it's a small-ish town that could easily connect to auridon. love the vibe and the orientation of that majestic building as a focal point.

[@fewcandy]

Aww i love that! Thank you Duszh!

[@quoniam426]

Building the airport on a fertile area is NOT a good idea for the sustainability of the city... I don't like the layout of resitential areas at 6 squares from a main road with a small spur to connect them to it. If anything, instead of drawing two parallel roads that close to eachother, it would be best to put the first residential area road at 8 squares from the main road and zone on one side (leaving a four squares large zonable area between the back of the houses and the main road to eventually be transformed into commercial or offices or heigh density residential when the town grows and needs more density, that way you won't need to change anything (escept maybe to change the highway road to a normal road to allow zoning). Rolling stock/bus/tram workshops and depots are rarely next to a town center hall...

[@eldaddio1010]

This really shows how much you can do with vanilla! I'm (almost) tempted to delete all my mods.

[@CYgoesGolfing]

Loving the content so far! was wondering, how did you manage to unlock the city hall at this stage. IIRC you would need atleast a few thousand sims using the public transport before you unlock it?

[@fewcandy]

Thank you! So once you unlock the unique buildings they are unlocked for every save. I've got thousands of hours in the game so had unlocked them all a while ago! But yes you do need to fullfill certain criteria in order to unlock each one!

[@LemonSeeker__]

Excited when you starting high density buildings. I always struggle making my cities looks nice even with selective zoning, and ended up starting a new one

[@T.C.C.797]

Another great episode miss fewc! The build came out so cute!🥰😍🤩

[@simonsv9449]

You wait THIS long before adding public transport? As soon as i unlock it and can afford a bus depot i create a bus circulator for the starting town (And it always gets busy, maybe because i plan the transit in a good way, i don’t know to be honest).

[@kittenorochi2223]

Okay, I'm super curious. I've made it through 3 episodes and one thing seems glaringly missing from your cities and farm areas and I'm just wondering why? Water. There are no ponds, fountains, or anything watery. I live on a farm and I can say from experience there would be water in several places in a farm region. I have a small town nearby (pop 6000) and there is literally a fountain in every park. Is that a feature the game lacks or do you not like such things? Mind you this is not criticism in any way, just massively curious. I am writing this as you are detailing the third episode and I think I do see a fountain just put in in Hamilton Meadows. I do love your city and it's fascinating watching you. Water though, is very needed. It's extremally soothing and mentally essential.

[@fewcandy]

It's honestly a big limitation of the game, so in vanilla the water mechanics aren't great and you can't just create ponds or lakes or rivers wherever you want. If you get the mod Extra Landscaping Tools that has the ability to add in water spawn points, but not in the vanilla game as this series is. And then when it comes to ponds/fountains, again the assets are limited, the one fountain asset is unique so can only be placed once in vanilla, and the two ponds we have come from the Hotels and Retreats DLC, so you'll see some of those added as we progress, but they are generally quite large, one would have fitted nicely into the farm area though granted! If you watch my two modded series, Auridon and Solitude, you'll see I do a fair amount with water (and there's much more coastline on both of those to play with!). I personally live by the coast and love water, but it is a glaring limitation with the vanilla game (unfortunately the same in CS2!)

[@LawAndBedlum]

45:27 Why don't you make the park in front of the City Hall part of the park area on the slope that you created?

[@Vincent_A]

It looks really amazing ❤ Question: I'm on the Tornado Country scenario and it's taking for ever... it would make it more fun with mods, like Line Tool and Forest Brush. But does the scenario then still count? I'm afraid I'm not allowed the win with mods. Thanks

[@mateo_sid]

[@MrJasperdeKnegt]

Hi FewCandy, As the roundabout below the highway is the lowest point. Shouldn't you make a water overflow pond in the center? Love Jasper from NL always thinking about watermanagement 😂

[@StarStuff.]

New ep! ❤ Love the community school placement and detailing, it looks so much better placing it this way, that fenceless playground next to the road always bothered me. Do the new tiny parks require road access? (don't have the pack yet) If not could they be used instead of the flower beds? Personally I don't mind them but you seemed to be underwhelmed by them so...

[@fewcandy]

Thank you Star! And yes they do require road access annoyingly otherwise that tiny park would have been perfect! I could have put it there but wouldn't have been able to keep the fence!
