Let's Play Cities: Skylines - Part 1 (Season 3)

[@ruoofy1753]

Ever since I was 10, I loved this series, now I am 16 years old and still rewatch this to bring back memories. Thank you so much for making memories ❤

[@alexdempsey6525]

the farm district should be called pork hills

[@yourdailydosesims3975]

+alex dempsey AMEN

[@Flabaliki]

+alex dempsey It's not a hill though D: Maybe Pork Flats?

[@jerrinlowe1872]

+Flabaliki I Like it

[@Mr.Plant1994]

+Jerrin Lowe Pork Plains maybe?

[@KPDBOS]

+Flabaliki love it!

[@Sursion]

Having a landfill right in the middle of all your farmland. I would not want to eat in your city.

[@firstname7606]

ehh i don't know seems healthy enough

[@chocolatesunday4798]

What if the garbage works like compost for the plants. Mm mm...

[@krishnastarz]

+Ty Zweifel Grown in the most plastic rich soil in Sprinvalley. $10 for 1 Apple

[@ArnarF]

oh yea battery acid mmm tasty

[@romanplays1]

+Arnar Freyr Astvaldsson most plastics live for less than 100 years so it kinda works.. (plastics used to hold a 6-pack together last for over a millennium though.)

[@ProBenja5]

You should make that little island high density commercial like in Manhattan.

[@stavrosFlash]

5/7

[@Wafa21]

+Steve The Pokemaster (The Awesome) U know what's up

[@stavrosFlash]

+Reza Wafa ;)

[@artisticbuilding6852]

+Moldy Masks Animations OMG

[@shon-rosswieczorek5956]

And it can be called "ManeCattan"

[@hoponthespot]

Use roads with cycling lanes - encourage cycling (and less traffic) from the get go!

[@hoponthespot]

And YAY for planning for the future!

[@napoleonicleague8871]

+hoponthespot we need 1 road, the rest all one ways all facing the same direction.

[@Lithane97]

Lol yus xD

[@lauritsbje5263]

Name the Farming districk "Would u like some Bread" And the Housing districkt for "This is a nice place to die"

[@sophienixon7973]

*district

[@NinjaofNi9ht]

+Sophie Nixon lol

[@teamkillerjoker1565]

No, just no

[@teamkillerjoker1565]

That's terrible

[@adrian071172]

Evil

[@eliasrosen3328]

james can you do a first person tour every 10 part like 10, 20, 30

[@irishjet2687]

Yes please!

[@leftsidenetwork3075]

PLEASE

[@alfiefairs4707]

Please

[@Abhinav-zi1ss]

yehhh

[@yourdailydosesims3975]

+Elias Rosén yes plz james

[@avishapiro9128]

I really enjoyed all the train work you did last series. I hope you do more in this city! Also, one trick to make your road look better is to use the curve tool more and the free from tool less. Free form is fun but to make the city look really good use the more structured tools

[@ryanb82]

call it 360pVille because that's all I can see at the moment.

[@snj2391]

(Typing as the episode plays). 1. There are rural train station models in the workshop that are a lot smaller than the train station in-game. I love using them in my suburban areas. 2. You got zoning under the bridge when you were putting in the electricity poles.

[@jmcdonald.1998]

There's a really awesome little train station asset you should get, called the local station (I forget who it's by, but just search local station under the 'Transport Railways' filter). It's a neat little station that's only 4 tiles wide, allowing you to get the stations in a smaller area. Also, can we try to avoid train tunnels on this map, just as it will be a repeat of Grid Loch in First-Person.

[@alexflosho]

"I want to start out conservative" *Puts 3 windmills*

[@Atintegulsno]

Get the tram station asset and the tram trains, just search for tram on the workshop, they are really nice for making good looking compact train lines.

[@PhilipHarrisJR]

I don't know a specific name, but you should get a sewage treatment asset, and then all of the sewage won't have to be dumped into the water

[@joshuastein5295]

Call the city San Flabreas

[@Gandellion]

I remember suggesting that in Software Inc.... Speaking of which, I miss that game

[@yourdailydosesims3975]

+Joshua Stein YES JAMES PLEASE

[@PeliRapu]

Viva Las Flabrenturas idk or Los Flabgeles or San Flabrisco. (id rather combine it with las venturas from sa instead of irl one due to combining it xd)

[@PeliRapu]

+PeliRapu San Flabsisco*

[@Gandellion]

Gonna open this up to the rest of the world: Flabsterdam

[@omerhortig573]

Yay!!!! More skylines! Keep up the great work James and I cannot wait to see what amazing things you can do in this brand new city!

[@omerhortig573]

Also, get the new 81 tiles mod!

[@jasperharrion6068]

you could dam the small river to the left of the town you've just built, where you were dumping the crap

[@aaronboonstra9497]

The suburbs in my area are surrounded by bigger main roads in a grid and then smaller curvy roads within each block. Good for traffic and looks. Also, there are parks in each block so children don't have to cross busy roads. Just a thought

[@Michael_Wurster]

please flabs honour fjordberg with a sequal city fjordtown or new fjordburg it would remind us of all the voice crackingness we had

[@pkmnMaster5678]

I don't know why, but the district zoning feature is like my favorite thing ever. Its like having controlled chaos, and gives you city a nice, controlled feel.

[@Joey-yz6si]

had a video from cities xl in my favourist. never watched the series all the way to end en forgot your channel, but when i see what you upload i immidiatly subscribed.

[@Flabaliki]

+Joey 123

[@lang64br29]

cities XXL was crap,literally.

[@ethanm6814]

You literally don't know the definition of literally.

[@Lithane97]

Your use of the word literally was, most definitely and quite literally, the worst kind of internet trash.

[@randomgamer7141]

What the fuck?

[@mrchoppyyy5139]

Along the coast use the roads with the white lane in the middle, it looks nice

[@WayanAyama]

Yay! I'm actually here at the beginning! Also try the Metropolitan University. It comes in two parts and looks much better in the city center than the in-game ones

[@haleyharrison5653]

Farms where I come from are just square country miles with four farms to each square or just one big farm. I know grid plans are kinda boring but that's what real farms look like here. But in the game farms can be whatever the heck you want them to be.

[@robertgronewold3326]

You got the zoning under the bridge with anarchy.

[@stephenhoebee1615]

Three Quick Things: 1) I love all your videos and these series! 2) Where you were dumping the poo near that lake, you should turn that into a mini city at one point 3) Change the industrial from farming to normal because that seems cooler and more realistic, industrial park under the highway lol

[@oscaribsen7210]

Best CS youtuber on the internet. I'm gonna buy it cos of you ;) Love from Denmark, and mary xmas.

[@PeliRapu]

+Troll Man Derp ikr my laptop ded soon

[@oscaribsen7210]

***** Fedt ;) God jul!

[@mr.overseer6548]

+Oscar Ibsen 1. Fluxtrance 2. Yuttho 3. Flabaliki This is my opinion

[@henryjohnson-ville3834]

Sips is the best CS player for me. He does talk too much and barely builds but his stories and commentary makes his videos so entertaining.

[@Nikologicaldk]

Oscar Ibsen hyggefis

[@Gunmasterx7]

For suburbs you basically just make curvy roads/ maze of a road system, you should look at examples on Google maps on that

[@R3dhawk95]

if you do a train transport system, use elevated track platforms

[@zellski1234]

flabaliki you should get the "extra landscaping tools mod" it will add the landscaping tools from the map editor, like the water tool for placing water sources. you can use it so that you can make your own lake in the city for all the sewage.

[@Stormfox93]

"Terraform Tool 0.8" is an awesome mod, which allows you to edit terrain while building your city. Also check out the tweet I send you. Containing a nice Rocks collection, Metro station and some nice building assets.

[@lukeluke7158]

The grid patterns make it look more organised and more complex but they are simple to build.

[@steffan147]

re-watching this series and, @51:10 i dont think i noticed you saying "you cant turn from that lane you pricks..." the first time round. Made me burst out laughing.

[@katestone2712]

Steffan Kitchener I thought it was bloody pricks:)

[@bigdirty4469]

I was laughing because that is how they do over here in the UAE

[@agenericyoutubeaccount]

My city has a huge traffic circle (its a round a bout you silly Americans) with a monument in the center.

[@wxlfz7906]

i just found your channel and so far loving your videos dude! i got cities skylines other day and its just such an addicting game

[@Rangatology]

1. Enjoy your videos because you're creative & with every Season I can see your Cities being more organic, BUT 2. You need to do some planning & research fellow KZbinrs ( +Strictoaster, +Fluxtrance & +Keralis) for ideas - especially Farms & waterfront design - because your videos always seem "rushed". This would take you from very good to great +Flabaliki Aussie Aussie Aussie!!!

[@juliettewood7532]

Place bushes in the farm areas, put them in a line, to separate the individual farms to make it look more realistic! This is if you are going to want to make it "look better". Thank you!

[@LithuniumSnowx]

I don't think anyone is good at making farms look good. not even in real life. Like have you ever seen a beautiful farm?

[@64bitrobot]

Don't forget about your budgets tab. You can get a LOT more out of basic wind turbines by turning the electric budget up. Also you can turn the water and sewer budgets down to justify a water pump and a sewage treatment plant, which you can then easily scale up as your city grows.

[@dors6514]

if u want to make your city look more like a real one, check out some road layouts on google maps :) i hope you find this useful

[@Atintegulsno]

I think you should get the following assets: *Approach Light System (Realistic)* to make your future airport look beautiful. *[AD]"Red Tower" Unique Building by Drosovila* Beautiful not so tall building. The recycling centers from your last map. The airport without a connected runway. An articulated bus. For example *D3S Mercedes-Benz Citaro G (O530) '2011*. Some custom airplanes from real world airlines. *Sunken Plaza*, a nice park that fits well in a grid. An airport tower.

[@gryffith1378]

Flabsterdam, New Flabbayork, Flabanderia, Flabondon, Flaris, Flabfort, Flaberin, Flasco, Flabami, Flabario, Flabdrid, Flabumbai, Flabbayork, Flabangeles, San Flabisco, Flabchester, Flabeshire, Flabadehli, Flabajing [CITY NAMES:some could be districts]

[@gryffith1378]

And so on

[@donovanchambers140]

+Andrew Gerges And so forth.

[@13D00_]

+Andrew Gerges I would change Flabbayork to Flab York....

[@matthewmcmahon684]

Flaberpool

[@ofdragonsdreamed8218]

+Forever LFC FAN YNWA South Flabton

[@HoosierJedi]

That speed limit trick is a good one. I'll have to remember that for my game.

[@mashumonku]

Hey James, I recommend getting the random tree rotation mod. It makes the trees look a lot more unique! Also is this city going to be a international city, a European city, or a mix.

[@45barber1]

the bridge coming from the farm to the city, Leave the far left lane a straight or left. That way traffic isn't only in one lane and the workers can have a clear pass through

[@amandanance919]

You should name the city Jamestown

[@amandanance919]

You should also make sure you use the turn lane roads more because that's more realistic

[@glitchmasers]

YESSSSS

[@Sorewne]

Lol xD That's what I thought!

[@PeliRapu]

Nice idea, but honestly id rather make it a district like US has Georgetown

[@creepercosheriff3444]

+Amanda Nance I love that name

[@jthoward7279]

This NEW series should contain straight roads and precise curves

[@cherronparkinson6396]

Happy Father's Day for 2016

[@RootBeerTuna]

It's a Christmas miracle! Another season of Cities Skylines!

[@hellcat4247]

Call the city "Likiville"

[@BayleeBubble]

I think lane management is good when it is intersections. So that way there might be less traffic and less time rebuilding roads or fixing road issues. Other wise, I have no other comment expect YAY CITIES: SKYLINES!

[@BobTheFrog92Gaming]

Flabs plz just spam us with videos of this

[@matthewgobbett]

You should use the one way train track mod for at least your cargo trains: that way your train situation doesn't shut down like it did last season. You will lay more track, but I'm sure you could make it look neat.

[@shummybooy6552]

Name the City Tulcea :D

[@iulian4401]

+Shummy Booy You are from Romania?

[@leonbuehler]

this map would be perfect for a futuristic city. with this mountain it would look amazing

[@saberline152]

yes yes yes early christmas present

[@charlsgti1943]

OMGGG i found it!!! the Cities: Skylines playthrough that had a cool bridge in the thumbnail so 12 year old me watched the video 🥲

[@knee1937]

3 6 0 P B O Y Z

[@Flamme266]

for the downtown area, you should totally use theses custom skyscraper from the workshop, they look awesome at night

[@corncob4095]

who's watching in 2017?

[@poopfacemegee7288]

I'm watching in 2018

[@bananobanana1870]

Poopface Megee me too

[@MagikMoonchild_]

you should put a damn to the left of where the city is, behind that mini island

[@darrellluna2855]

WHO IS WATCHING IN 8113!

[@ChristianJeanes]

Darrell Luna no 123474

[@Krissssz]

Sorry it's 3291 BC

[@Iimgreat123]

I also think the housing district should be called Tricklebrook. A small river is located nearby, and the district is nice and little, which perfectly fits the name!

[@steviegage4444]

What happened yo the quality

[@steviegage4444]

Make one big city not little towns

[@derpycwc]

come back in an hour, there will be better quality

[@stephanieparker1625]

+Blue Boss how do people still not know about processing

[@BenevolentImp]

+Blue Boss Nooo! It's just not realistic to have a city that big :D It just doesn't make sense, to me atleast :d

[@BenevolentImp]

+Jóa Jackson I mean, the 9 tiles is alright, I guess, but not the 25.It's too much :D

[@davidbenson4011]

Driving around Manhattan in my youth I learned to do a taxi turn. A taxi turn is where you turn right from the far left lane and left from the far right. This is done just as the light turns yellow and traffic in the other lanes slow down. Taxis use it to avoid waiting in line in the turn lane.

[@ju1cybac0n2]

I think that the districts should be called animal names thumbs up if you agree

[@gagasluxury7458]

I'm going to give this series a try I never watched cities skylines but I love James so 😊

[@glitchmasers]

Make the little islands by the town be filled with high density like Manhattan

[@JessicaPeel]

YAY! New series me so happy. been lost without it since part 50 of the last series :)

[@scottakatlheart7748]

Want to make the city look organic, then follow and use the terrain, don't build grids, or parallel streets. This is a great map for that, but you have already NOT followed the cliff edge, and just built right up to it.... Also follow the rivers, and build parks along the rivers, and tourist areas. For the farm, mix in some low density residential.

[@ryanbrown2517]

Get the rocks mod for detailing and stuff like that at hills to add character and definitely get the traffic mod thing again

[@amymclelland5647]

Hey James! A great asset which has worked well for me is a 1x1 park that is literally just a bench and some trees etc that you can scatter round the city! Breaks up all those annoying tiny 1 square houses etc and makes it more like real life when you've got benches on streets etc. Don't actually know if there's any in the workshop cos I always make my own!

[@cheyennevv8852]

When he has the mod turned on, the bird at the top stretches out... 15:50 xD

[@mashumonku]

I was gonna vote on the pacific northwest map because I live in the pacific northwest but I loved the mountains in delta range. :)

[@lochiegoldfinch1563]

What would be amazing is if he posted a marathon of the Skylines series over a period of a couple of days

[@PeliRapu]

You should move the drain pipes to the stream next to the pool of water, unless you could build an Industrial district to the beach, then a sweet line of houses along the stream.

[@samuelcroll344]

I once got this game on steam, 2 minutes later I had already sent a request for a refund, not because it's bad but because you tubers make it look easier than it really is!

[@ahhro9166]

I love this series so much!!!!!! :) Keep it up James :) I think a good name for the town could be Riverview.

[@lukeluke7158]

Take a look at the Sydney CBD road layout, there is the perfect mix of parallel roads and weird angles. It is organised complexity, and that is what the human brain loves to look at. You can see it as much in the Paris road layout as much as the Sydney CBD layout which were all made a couple of centuries ago.

[@BenevolentImp]

You got to do a CBD or a manhattan kind of area on that island between that big mountain and the lower area you are currently building :)

[@TuomasLeone]

I'd start in early with the bus lane roads for you main routes. Also start thinking of not just local trains, but for the subway as well and then careful management of the regional lines. Maybe also a bike friendly city with lots of bike paths?

[@Noah-lr6rf]

It would be cool to see a little country zone somewhere, like dirt roads and well spaced houses.

[@bozzyham]

I actually really love the newest SIM City so this game really blows my mind lol

[@Fr0zenCrafter]

You should build dedicated bike paths between areas of the city and encourage biking everywhere - will massively decrease road traffic.

[@Punkalflufen]

I find changing some of the residential zones smaller than 4 squares into high density in the suburban area, a small smattering of high density looks more organic.

[@FirelyGrim]

You should move the windmills to the farm area, even if it doesn't produce as much power. It'd look cool and realistic

[@Dalek_genocide]

Love the video. The lane managing part had me in stitches.

[@Coco13]

I love watching your videos even though I don't play any of these games, I always have a great time, thanks Flabs! greetings from Costa Rica.

[@e.g.o.m.e]

with pipes you can make a row down then do the 440 technique the pipes will be perfect aligned with each other

[@ashleighr.8113]

You should definitely do more logging industries? I just feel like the traffic isn't as bad and there is no pollution!

[@bigflopenergy]

There are two intersections close together after the cut-through road in the town centre which could cause traffic in the future :) 15:58

[@GenuineLolotov]

If you're going for a more futuristic build, the Spectra Technologies assets are an excellent addition.

[@csweezey18]

I don't like waiting for the next episode of whatever I'm watching, so I tend to watch completed series. You can tell because I still haven't finished watching season 1.

[@paulinatolak5128]

I think that farm area would look cool without grid shaped roads. In my city I made the area with crazy swirly roads and it looked surprisingly good.

[@edmundcorbluthmusic]

Call Ivy Park : " Liki Land" Great start to the season!

[@Stygienne]

I used the road tools to draw pictures with, like the Nazca Lines. I have a house shaped area that's designated residential...since you were saying you wanted "interesting roads".

[@vanhalenmaster1]

You can build a little bit of highrise ban high density residential in the middle of the town. That'll look good

[@RosscoAW]

"I don't know how to make it not artificial," he says, immediately after repaving the singular unique road that lent some sense of being organic to the city, lol. Add more variety, real cities are organic, messy, not intentionally planned from the top-down seeming, etc

[@davidvandenberg846]

I dont know how it is actually called but you have to try the M1, M2 and M3 stations. They are very cool i think.

[@MrGOLDENSHOT25]

maybe I'm to late to suggest this, but if I'm not... I typically make a small square lake and place a water source inside and the line the sides with pop pumps, you can't dress it up like a water treatment plant and you won't taint you're water supply as well as keeping you're rivers clean

[@kristianc_arkos]

It would be cool if each island had its own theme. One island could be a European type area and one could a high density city area.
