Forward Planning Bypass Networks In Cities Skylines! | Thessia

[@JeplarAU]

As an Australian watching this series, its been great fun. Generally, Woolworths and Coles don't have a such large loading area behind them, typically, the truck bays and some small roads. High school students with the tram connection is definitely good. With the road markings with a town name, not a usual thing around me, typically it is an overhead or by the road sign denoting where the roads goes.

[@SephStuff]

Was going to say the same thing - supermarkets have small loading bays because the produce basically rolls off the truck into the store room and onto the shelves. Much more likely to just be a boring carpark around the supermarket, but maybe a small collection of shops like a bakery, butchers and newsagent trying to skim some foot traffic from Woolies would be there.

[@mattc41981]

Yes it’s way too big. Stores wouldn’t have that much outside space. Most stores I worked in even had the rubbish bin areas inside the store as it reduces the risk of it being set on fire overnight. Adding in small commercial alongside Woolies would be a more realistic use of the space

[@TerryTags]

@@mattc41981 As an American, I'd like to kindly request some clarification; can you rewind to the part you said about the RISK OF IT BEING SET ON FIRE OVERNIGHT lmao

[@Aschilon]

@@TerryTags You've never head of a dumpster fire before?

[@brendotheoffendo]

I also said this about Bunnings. 😂 But what Egg probably doesn't realise that in a city that is as big as Thessia will be there would at least be 3 Bunnings, Woolies and Coles. Sp plenty of time for redemption 😂

[@duszhduszh]

I really like this art vibe the town is getting. Makes it a little more special. And well done to Rich and Terry. The map and the sign look incredible.

[@StarStuff.]

Your 'well hello people' never fails cheering me up. And look at you playing with IMT and network multislope (😁) like a king! Big like on the bypass network (to be) but now the next town has to be called Nowhere since you said that's the road to nowhere... 😆 I'll see myself out... The map canvas is stunning and the billboard is super awesome, Rich and Terry deserve all the praise ❤

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

Haha thank you star! ❤

[@kassthered8452]

Loving the artsy vibes of this new neighbourhood, definitely feels like a newly developed area, maybe it used to be a part of the harbor with some warehouses and stuff. These horseshoe shaped buildings are so cute with their little parks, just confuses me a little that the inner parks face outwards and not towards the parking lot. This way their community garden just points right on a pretty busy road 😅

[@paperaddict3756]

Genuinely flabbergasted that you had an 8 letter word and divided into 3 and 5 for a sign 😂 Really excited for rest of this city build

[@applechomper2305]

Potential origin of Sentinel Rock: The last eruption of Mt. Eggna was so powerful that it launched a chunk of debri across the bay where it has remained to this day.

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

That is very cool! love that!

[@tuyous]

Kookaburra Crown for the Vineyard estates. Inspired by the gumtree vibe going on. Crown being a synonym for treetops lol.

[@frawa1530]

The painted Ladies of Sentinel . Love it. :)

[@currently_heather243]

Love the colourful art Deco beach front houses. Must keep IMO :) The sentinel welcome signs are just awesome! Looks like the second mirrored hearts of Korea horse shoe community garden isn't quite the right one, but it might be good for variation? :)

[@heartaura]

Those portable classrooms definitely make the school look more like what you'd find in aussie/nz! Although there'd usually be many more individual classrooms than that, you've done a great job making do with what's possible in game! Looking forward to the upcoming wine town, hoping to possibly see some more nz inspiration in the future!

[@mrotheos]

41:50 Australia's winemaking history stretches back to 1788, when Governor Arthur Phillip brought the first vines to Sydney. In 1833, James Busby, considered the father of the Australian wine industry, brought cuttings from Spain and France and introduced Shiraz (a.k.a. Syrah) and Grenache to the region. I feel "Syrah hills" or "Syrah point" would be great names for the vineyard area. Great series BTW. Only just found you and I love the content. Inspirational stuff.

[@brianj959]

“Welcome to Sentinel” billboard is fab! Props for Terry’s props. And I’m a big fan of colourful deco apartments on the waterfront - are any available for rent?? I’m moving in!

[@danonck]

I'm loving this build so much! I miss Ilos but the vibe in these episodes is really great too and your creativity has yet another outlet. I'll hopefully be there for the livestream!

[@jamaltaylor2315]

Great episode. I feel the highway should be named the Asari Regional Carriageway (ARC)

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

Ooo that's fun!! A1 for example!

[@michaelw6222]

I had suggested Mount Asari for the volcano but it didn't fare too well in poll. I'm all for the ARC! Love it!

[@DavyOordijk]

Looks awesome dude, like the pastel colors on the art deco appartments! Maybe you could add windows to the back of them, they look way too plain. An eyesore from the back in my opinion.

[@davidbne30]

Great stuff Terry with the welcome board. Class stuff mate.

[@ForeverNERVOUSZan]

i love LOVE the bright colors!! so glad you are keeping them on the waterfront! towns cant be all beige white and gray! sometimes we NEED a lil kookiness!!!! 💙💙💙💙💙

[@SlateTiara]

That billboard, it's chefskiss perfect 👌💯 I imagine this town attracts a lot of young people wanting to start some exciting tourism/leisure business of their own. I know there's a commercial pedestrian zone already, but I think having much tinyer commercial buildings somewhere near the beach might make sense? Great build today, love the intersection and all the pops of color ☺

[@chaos_monster]

I really love you game play style - the sections are so greatly timed

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

Glad you enjoy the videos 😊

[@everithh]

Love Sentinel as well! That view from the bypass road was amazing. Maybe some large murals covering the plain back walls of the art deco houses could be nice and artistic? Can't wait to see the vineyard town!

[@IsaiahWells-d4f]

The tie up looks incredible! I love all the bypasses coming up to the future town. I also love the gardens in the backyards of the condos! Sentinel turned out to be a great town!

[@brendotheoffendo]

Love the road markings. They are used on the highways and expressways in Sydney but with the abbreviation being the road rather than the area. A Sentinel name garden name bed would look nice alongside the highway coming into Sentinel.

[@cherylstrachan9665]

So stoked to see my town on google earth - you could even see my house!! We do have a lot of bypasses here in gawler and I've used them as inspo for my cities before. Egg's always seems to get that extra polish, but with practice I'll get there!

[@flis9618]

I know this video was over 40 minutes long but I need more! 😅😍 Thessia truly is my favourite thing to watch right now & everything you do turn out amazing! 😊 I usually don’t like watching livestreams because it takes ages & nothing gets done… You’re the only one I’ll watch streams of because you actually make so much progress & your voice is like honey to my ears.. Looking forward to future Thessia streams! 🥰

[@RedDead-k6s]

You may take my comment, u may take my likes, but you wont take away the feeling of watching this 6min after its posted

[@emilian0e]

🌽🥎

[@WaylandersWandering]

Well... it's the Eggspress Way obviously.

[@Nemusplanta]

its a real joy to watch how you make small details to the cities.And also keep the areas small enough so that you can keep the quality of the areas high.Keep up the good work!

[@AndyWylie82]

Really enjoying the series fella, really good. I think I might be inclined to have the Heart of Korea condos facing into one another with the bench garden in between it may give it a bit more of a community vibe what with the small veg gardens as well. Anyway keep up the great work it’s looking brilliant so far. 👍

[@jonaught]

Really nailing the realism in this map. Reminds me a lot of the Western Cape especially as you drive up the N7 with the spread out little towns. Quite looking forward to the vineyards, Cape Town, where I'm from, is full of them and been wanting to add one into my city for a while now. Can't wait to see how you do it. The coloured houses are definitely CT vibes, looking a lot like Bokaap. Something I'd like to see is a golf course, not sure how Aussies feel about golf.

[@jstokes]

Loved this town and I am really looking forward to the winery/vineyard town. I live not far from Napa and Sonoma valley, those wine growing areas. While not Australian, there are some similarities. The winery is composed of the vineyard, of course, and rose bushes are often placed at the perimeter of the vineyard in a fence as an early warning system for mildew. The buildings are big sheds, fused together -the processing area in big tanks inside and then another big shed/barn/building for the barrels where the wine rests. Then there is the wine tasting area, and thats generally quite attractive, so you can have fun with the architecture. There is often an outside restaurant under a pergola, with a view, etc.

[@AntneeUK]

Loving the layers between the beach and the hills 👌

[@drjonritz]

Terry! Love the SENTINEL billboard! Super-nice!

[@wyattweber9983]

Sentinel looks great! Love all the final touches, but logistically the delivery area for that supermarket is way too big, it's twice the size of the store itself and could make room for other shopping or housing if it were more reasonably smaller than the store. Really all you need is room for a truck and some dumpsters, all the product would be stored inside

[@thargoff]

Oh, Sentinel is almost finished? I am so ready for more in every little town. ;) And you need to give them more residents, they are so beautiful and deserve more people to enjoy it. 😂

[@esterlingo9664]

Great episode Egg! I really like how you are approaching this series. Each town needs to be unique and have personalized bits and pieces.

[@dylanberthelsen7799]

As a few other comments have mentioned, woolies loading dock is a bit too large. You’ll generally just find a small road and possibly one container if your extremely lucky 🤣 we have them everywhere, I have 2 Coles within 2.3km from my house and a 24hr Kmart 🤣 we need a Kmart too egg

[@j-wenz]

Loving the Thessia theme! As an Aussie expat it really does remind me of home so well done! Idk if you fixed it later but you can get better text IMT for where the bypass splits if you do the 3 lane maths before the split and the Sentinel text will then have its own turn arrow lane.

[@T.C.C.797]

Great episode sir! The art deco area gave me san Francisco vibes mixed with Caribbean color vibes!!! 😍

[@CaptainEdMercer]

It always improves my day when a thessia episode is uploaded. One question, will you continue to work on thessia after city skylines 2 comes out? I feel like thessia won't be completed by then.

[@ben0329]

Terry (Tezza) Flags is smashing it with those billboards! I was going to suggest some after dark lights to make them shine in the nighttime but it looks like you’re one step ahead

[@blueythebudgie7987]

As an Australian this is great but I feel like the series is missing shopping centres. Even in small towns you will find small shopping centres with indoor and outdoor components. Other than that it looks great.

[@bearnecessities9568]

Those community gardens have a nice Joy Builds spice vibe :)

[@chrisplettuce]

Woo about damn time someone used south Australia as a reference 😂❤

[@brendotheoffendo]

I work for a large local council within NSW. The biggest local council in the state. DA will only approve of two storey dwellings throughout the suburbs, unless it's near a train station. Around train stations will have units and multi storey blocks.

[@Zyo117]

As for theulticoloured housing, Newfoundlander here! Many row houses in the downtown of St. John's are painted in bright rainbow colours, and the term 'jellybean row' is widely used, but I'm not sure it refers to a specific street.

[@brendotheoffendo]

Sentinel Rock looks sorta like the The Rock Roadhouse on the Pacific Hwy. It's like a giant paper machete Uluru with a service station attached to it. It's a Roadhouse inside. 😂

[@RustyWalker]

Grocery retailers don't keep stock outside in their yard, but empty roll cages or recycling returns, empty pallets and old equipment would be. Clarification - if there _was_ stock in the yard, it'd be securely stored in those trailers which would've been hired as overflow storage, especially if the refrigerated stores were at capacity like at Christmas.

[@ssaanana]

Great job as always Egg! The town name on the highway looks good, but I feel like it should be 3 lanes there and the name be on the turning lane. Now it seams like going strait will lead to Sentinel.

[@TeaAddict]

Finally got around to watching this episode! Thank you for the shoutout with the school design, I really liked what you did there and the vibes were perfect! Also got a kick out of you Google-Earthing and mentioning Gawler, I used to live quite close to there 😁 The apartments and sports fields were on point, really really enjoyed how you finished off Sentinel this episode and can't wait for the vineyard town!

[@ELTEEMUSIC]

For a while I couldn’t figure out what was off about this series. But the coloured apartments triggered photo memories! Google Bondi beach trams 1950s and that’s exactly the vibe! Not a bad thing at all!

[@ZzBuRnTzZ]

In love with this series ❤ if you need some inspiration next episode check out the Yarra valley or Barossa valley vineyards 🍷 maybe I’ll pour a glass next episode, cheers 🍷 🥚

[@RoccondilRinon]

Aussie highways have numbers, but we always refer to them by name. Two that come to my mind are the Princes and Dukes Highways - maybe Thessia’s M1 could be the Earls Highway.

[@brinedpickle]

Love the cities 2 logo planter design! Super neat

[@brunovarela8288]

Much love from Portugal, I really like every city you build. I know this build is inspired in Australia, but if you will do some vineyards you should check some images from Douro Portugal.😊

[@michaelw6222]

Sentinel better than Valkyrie??? I'm not having it. They may have their "big rock" and sand sharks, but that's nothing compared to a single pint of Valkyrie Bitter, let alone a whole brewery. And nothing beats the hometown vibe of Valkyrie's high street (main street? main drag?). Team Valkyrie all the way!

[@jakefelix279]

If you want a good small little town off in a secluded area have a Looky at a place called Goolwa as opposed to Gawler 😂 both in SA but opposite ends of the main city. As an Australian loving this series!!

[@rosebrent9440]

Lake Alexandrina is absolutely beautiful.

[@Zyo117]

If you press either shift or ctrl in node controller you can align the median side to be completely straight without that bulge from upgrading the road. Then it gives the look of an actual slip lane.

[@Az_1987]

How about naming it The Irwin Highway, after everyone's favourite Crocodile Hunter.

[@WeAreThePeople1690]

15:35 Love a bit of Tobermory, or Balamory if you have kids 😂😂

[@tobiasalexander4491]

I definitely think making it an "E" road makes sense. I mean, E is for Egg, innit? Perhaps the local nickname could the the "Thess Express", named for the late 80s house band of the (remarkably) similar name.

[@RN-du8wr]

Wow. Caught this less than an hour after upload. 🎉 working nights here has some up sides.

[@brendotheoffendo]

If it is inspired from the M1/M2 it needs to be a tolled road. 😂 M stands for Motorway. They used to be F, for Freeway.

[@ClareFlack]

Can't wait for the livestreams to start.

[@PrestonN127]

Next thessia video idea build a store were people buy cs2 aka city skylines ll :D well not 1 store maybe a shopping plaza

[@xantho368]

If possible, I'd say go back and remove the concrete surface pain around the horseshoe apartments. Apartments like that typically have small green spots around for a tree or two.

[@stevehudson1111]

The major highway around Aus is called the Pacific Highway. You could call yours the Specific Highway 😛

[@Az_1987]

Does anyone think that Sentinel Bay sounds more Australian that just Sentinel? I know it's probably too late to change. As an Aussie, Sentinel just doesn't sound quite right.

[@wesleyvancauwenbergh5226]

How's the shark doing in Sentinel? Is he eating alright? 😂

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

[@brokenserenity01]

the obvious name for the road system would be the m7 since its close enough to n7 to pass without just calling it the n7.

[@brendotheoffendo]

Do you build while in cinematics or do you replay your builds with cinematics?

What about calling it the E66?

I've been trying for 2 days now, how on earth do you build a natural village/town that's a few miles down the highway outside of your main city? I find it so hard to make it look natural and not just a housing estate that's been velcroed onto the county road.
