How Building the Greenest Neighborhood Ever Nearly Ended the City! | Verde Beach 123

[@CityPlannerPlays]

Around the 50:57 a bit of replacement audio is missing - very sorry, not sure what happened! We used 300 nodes in this episode, so at this rate we'd have 20 episodes left in us. We'll see what happens! I don't think we'll actually have 20 (for CS:2 reasons and my love of using nodes).

[@Gtquartz]

Hopefully this isn't a problem in CS:2!

[@Qoushik]

I was like, "Hmm... Did he get shocked seeing the limits or something?"

[@IBuiltDaArk]

You enabled power transmission without lines but then you left the lines up, those might save some more nodes?

[@ourd0gseven]

Going Green is just for control, if you didn't know... ( X_x)

[@leftcoastfunk]

Definitely going to have to do something about your districts if you want to keep going, and your path limits are getting close there too

[@apoptastic7845]

Sad to see the build is almost done, but also exciting to see everything coming together. RIP waterpipes, no longer underneath the roads, but still in our minds ❤

[@CityPlannerPlays]

Working on something to commemorate them! Stay tuned!

[@jordanpickett1640]

Still in our minds... Right where they belong.

[@DavidCiani]

IMHO, the more important part is that there aren't water pipes that aren't under roads. Those are the real problem.

[@Dilligff]

@@DavidCiani Never understood why so many CS builders adhere so strongly to the water lines under the roads as the game doesn't really take the real world issues of why its done in real life into account. I started off laying pipework under every street but quickly found it got too distracting when adding underground metros later and preferred a minimalist approach anyways. Now I just do long linear stretches spaced just enough for the edge of coverage to either touch or slightly overlap and cross them where there is a major street. It reduces the number of required nodes by lots and it looks a lot cleaner.

[@bruceboys4075]

Can’t believe how close the build is to been done but Verde beach always has more in her than we think

[@morganunraveled]

hitting node limits on this series hurts my heart!! I really hate to know it’s coming to a close but watching this city grow and the love you’ve poured into it has been truly been an incredible journey to be apart of. I binge watched this series during my pregnancy in early 2021 and now it’s coming to a close soon with my son now being well over a year old. so amazing. 💛

[@33milesanthony]

Verde Beach has come a long way and the story behind it is phenomenal definitely one of the best in Cities Skylines 1 history!

[@ValePlaysGames]

Can’t believe Verde Beach is nearing the end, this series got me through all of the lockdowns! Can we get a tropical style build on skylines 2? Really fell in love with this style and setting, inspired me to make my own

Honestly - did the same for me! There is a very high likelihood of the first city being the Verde Beach universe, rather than the Clearwater County one... but let's keep that between you and me 😉

I had my reservations about this neighborhood at first, but this result just blew me away. I agree that moving the countdown sign to the launch area makes a TON of sense, thematically. Very sad to see Verde Beach starting to run headlong into some of those hard limits. It's such a beautiful experience throughout the city. You can really tell you've thrown your whole heart into this build. I hope when you do reach your stopping point, you can have a review of the history of Verde Beach, hitting the high points. I'd love to see you do another city transformation series before CS2 comes out, to bridge the gap. Been with you since the beginning of Bluffside Crossing, it's been a real adventure, and I'm eager to see where we get to go next.

[@IceDree]

Phil, you can always get rid of that hillside development near the dams you built way back in episode 65. Lots of switchbacks = lots of nods! You never liked that neighborhood and now you can "redevelop" it for the greater good ... For the greater good. 😉

[@xOUnD34DOx]

The jumpcut view after you finished landscaping the new district was just stunning. This has to be your masterpiece, very fitting as the series comes to its natural(or unnatural depending on your perspective.) end

I gotta say, the environmental cost of decimating an entire chunk of beach front environment. It aint exactly green, cars or no. Isabella may be a great developer, but she is also cynical and nihilistic.

I’ve been following verde beach since episode one, it’s sad to see it slowly reaching the end of its journey. I’m grateful for always having a comfort video to watch while you meticulously craft this beautiful masterpiece. Hope it lasts until the release of cs2, so it will maybe have a spiritual sucessor on the new game.

[@sylpha51]

Somehow when I saw the title I whas expecting tsunamis and wildfires 😮. Not nearly ending the series😢. I have been watching since ep 20ish and it's making me sad realizing that the end is in sight for this masterpiece of a city. Thanks so much Phil for the countless hours of good Bob Ross kinda vibes. I am gonna miss vb dearly

[@Xiyng]

I was expecting something unexpected, like some unexpected traffic congestion. At some point, I noticed the city had lost thousands of residents, and I thought something might be going on.

[@A_Cordero]

Verde Beach is obviously tropical. That being said the sun reflecting off the ocean will make this area noticeably hotter than the inner city. Sandstone’s light color will help avoid burning any puppy paws. Love your content and looking forward to your CS:2 series!!!

[@damontaejanuary5722]

yes we have to remember the pups and a good dog park

[@franimus662]

Great idea!

[@ethakis]

34:19 I think that you probably should've zoned the residential in the upper tiers, at least near the main commercial street as high density. It makes perfect sense that you'd want high density next to a commercial area. 45:50 "Pedestrians want shade!!" *adds a bunch of a tree that is notorious for providing little shade* haha

[@fabianbnd8188]

You could also add some of those food truck places and ice cream places from the pedestrian DLC if they fit. I think they would add some variety and interesting spots where people can gather up and enjoy the new wonderful place you just created 😊

[@DarinPirkey]

I think having the trolleybus on the outside would be a cool thing to do down there all by itself. Just take a trip around the area and see the water on the bus. I do that with the skyliner at Disney World. Between Epcot and Hollywood Studios, we take the skyliner. Takes about 20 minutes and we use it as an extra "ride" at the parks. And if it's on the outside, you would see the water and make the trip that much longer.

[@noahswatchin9308]

Sad to see the best cities skylines series go soon, but I’m really hyped for cities skylines 2 and your plans for it

[@BeeZee_48]

I like the showcase of addressing game limitation with the use of mods, maybe in a future episode you could add unlimited trees and tree brush to get those horrendous vanilla palms off the edge of town and put in a lush jungle with the forest brush. Just a thought, I really like Verde Beach, the series has been wonderful

[@BenRK90]

This city's story may soon be over, but I know it's not the end of building cities. Looking forward to the amazing new things you'll make when CS2 comes out.

[@thejamesbrooks]

I fear this means the imminent end of Verde Beach, that makes me sad, but timing is good for CS2. This is the series that made me fall in love with the channel.

[@heavyarms55]

I have to say I find it incredible that you've reached this point in a single city. In the time I've been watching you I've built and abandoned probably half a dozen cities or more. But you really stick to it. I need to learn to pace myself and put the detail work in, instead of blazing for big numbers.

[@sebawlm]

What a beautiful build. It's bittersweet because this felt like the beginning of the end for Verde Beach. But how far it's come!! Nothing even burned down in this episode.

[@iman.a.t]

I remember finding this city just about when it was started. It was my form of escapism. I left for two years and can't believe how much more has been built in that passage of time. Long gone are the episodes spent fight off the wildfires and rebuilding all the burnt down zoo and park facilities. Definitely one of the most iconic city builds.

[@Qtopian]

What if you did a post apocalyptic verde beach once the series ends by using disasters and then rebuild some things and restoring some “historical” structures as they were ruined. So the nodes get freed up. OR you could also do something like that in Cities skylines 2 and create verde beach reborn in a post apocalyptic world

[@caramelldansen2204]

I like the idea of Verde Beach ending with a way of transitioning the lore to CS2; i.e. a big disaster / economic issue / etc caused all (some?) of these characters to evacuate / move on to create a new city / etc A way of both ending with a bang or some kind of drama, while also carrying the legacy of the series on to the next game, perhaps?

[@Qtopian]

But so excited to see what you do in CS2. Thank you so much CPP for creating this channel and putting in the hours to make quality content. One of the best things about you and your builds are the educational factors you throw in from your world of city planning. Absolute legend! 🐐

[@arminrichard1836]

i was once honored to name a tiny district in old verde beach. And now i want to give that back. I would be very happy to allow the district "Coast Quarter" to be cannibalized into a neighbouring district for the city to be continued a little bit longer. Although i would love for the name to continue in some shape of form.

[@abdulrahmanzubairu8371]

Wow

[@asliceofloaf1984]

Wow, this episode blew me away. I usually preferred cwc and nicolet bay because your landscaping used to be much more free-flowing with mods than without - in the absense of game limitations and all. But lately, and especially with this episode, you've really demonstrated your improved ability to bend the game to your will and do things that I used to think were impossible in vanilla. Its absolutely phenominal watching you craft these builds, and somehow become even better at the game, when I thought you reached the ceiling of what was possible by game limitations. You've went from Bob Ross level to reality bending cosmic wizard level LOL. Easily my favorite youtube channel of all time - I dont think I've ever consistently followed any media as closely as I do this channel.

[@wastelandkitten9698]

[@AndyBestHP]

I was lucky enough to come to the channel before Verde Beach started. I loved the game but was a bit frustrated with it and had hit a plateau, especially since I like open play games, but with potential for narrative. This series brought the game to life for me. I got back into it, learned how to enjoy the game from the very first road all the way through to 'late game' and let me find a balance with advanced play - I like to preserve the gameplay challenges over heavily modding and CPP showed me how to run a QOL mod build. So many memories.

This pedestrian area looks SO awesome! You should try another one of these in the future, but on water. Instead of having the retaining walls separating the houses and layers, you could have canals and waterways.

[@patrikhjorth3291]

This video reminded me about when I went with my parents to some vacation spots when I was younger. These were not just clusters of hotels and bars. They were complete towns, with residential areas, city services, grocery stores etc. They still very much gave me the feeling that everything had been built at the same time, by the same contractors/developers. All the buildings had the same general proportions, the same colour schemes, the same style of decorations. I've come to understand that the reason they looked like that is very likely that this is exactly what happened. Somebody invested a lot of money in developing a fully formed tourist town, and building it very quickly. Kind of staggering, when you think about it.

[@seventytimes_7]

I cant believe all the quay work was achieved in vanilla. Really incredible. And Isabella did really well not only developing it all but also persuading the Verde Beach Water Board to remove the 200 year old pipe network in favour of the modern technology of 23rd century Verde Beach

Breathtaking development. I'd live there. I LOVE that you finally picked up on not building a road between the beach/water and the first row of houses. So nice! But you still waste the zoning spaces on the left and right of your new neighborhood.

[@Julien_Fedon]

Top 3 neighborhoods that Phil has ever created. Definitely the best terraced one, by a LARGE margin. I saw that one of the options for the mod was to use the roads as power lines. Since all the roads have streetlights built in, it never made sense to need both. (Unless the streetlights didn’t work, which they do).

Late to this video and late to comment, but as far as Verde Beach goes, this might be my favorite build in the city. Absolutely beautiful neighborhood that I'd love to live in. Verde Beach was my personal favorite of all your cities, partly because of the added vanilla restriction can force you to be extra creative tackling the challenges of base game mechanics. It's going to be sad to see it go, but CS2 opens new doors. Thank you Phil for the series. Edit: Oh yeah. I was so caught up in being sentimental I forgot to ask you to switch out the Organic/Local produce commercial for something else. There's too much EV charging/parking for a non-vehicle neighborhood!

[@joshuaableiter4545]

They should partner with The UPS Foundation to learn about how to make their post systems work more realistically. There may be many other things to learn from them about how city logistics work as well as the fact they they may have networks with connected individuals like governors, mayors, senators, representatives, judges, and other significant characters in the community who may have immeasurably valuable input on how a city building simulator should simulate the city.

[@mmnass]

Seems like the sea view got blocked by the skyscrapers for all those houses up top. Looks beautiful nonetheless

[@wyattweber9983]

Very cool district, but I'd suggest the high rise ban for that lowest terrace, the towers are just too prominent. Also I'd imagine there's a lot more use you could get on each side of the built out landmass rather than ending abruptly in a perfect square shape. Kinda thought some of the roads parallel to the coast should curve back up to connect to the main ring road personally.

[@91Wildcat700]

The blue stone offer such a nice contrast to the sand I love it!

[@michalma]

I'm not sure, I'm happy with the line of sky scrapers near the shore as this is not downtown. More Wall to wall buildings and marinas ( Monaco style ) would be imho a better fit.

For those playing with mods, I recommend using Intersection Marking Tool for landscaping along roads. It doesn't count towards the prop limit, and will save your fingers placing individual plants.

[@eliellison4546]

Retirements are something to be celebrated, and we're lucky that Verde beaches retirement is coming just in time for a vanilla CS2 city.

[@Jstiffl_0113]

Not sure if you’ll see this but I figured out how to add different zone styles to pedestrian districts. You have to first draw the pedestrian district then add the build style you can only choose from wall to wall or eco friendly but then you can paint the actual city district over top and the buildings will spawn in separately

[@gahnanschaff1361]

Phil I've been thinking about your conservation college and the park. I think, maybe in a nodded game, if you're to conservation, and sustainablility make sure you include ecology restoration (falls under sustainability). You could find out what native plants are in the area you're creating and designate land for a greenhouse (seed increase garden) and restoration. I work for EWU Palouse prairie restoration and part of my job is growing rows of native Palouse prairie plants for seed collection, as well as going out to the prairie and planting plugs. It'd be a cool story for your city and it'd look cool too. Take a look at some restoration projects and the native lands they work on so you can see what things should look like and go from there.

[@alpaul]

Very Santa Monica, CA the way its tiered. I think the high rises on the oceanfront would decimate the value of the properties behind them. Not sure its possible with the ecofriendly district to make Mid rises? A mix of the high rises and mid rise on that level so the views are preserved would make a lot of sense.

[@nickgreco8685]

With Verde Beach coming close to its end, it would be fun to see you start a different vanilla build on the map with the least amount of land available. It would be cool to see what you do in that limited space before CS2 comes out

[@dracula3811]

This is by far my favorite build to watch. Sad to see the limitations of the game impacting it. For what it's worth, I approve of the measures you've taken to keep it going. Looking forward to what will happen in cs2 where every city will be vanilla (at the start)!

[@giacomo1215]

Beautiful build and congrats VB for your community of 200k people! One criticism though, I think that the city tour is cool with the before and after, but especially in an area like this I think that viewing it from the ground level it'd be really really nice!

[@quoniam426]

So in my own version, I envisaged to place a metro station at each side of the beach road, one North, one South, from two lines connecting at the station near the hotels (that will have to be changed. 1 mile is a good distance between those two stations, perfect. I might replace the trolleybus by a tram, because I had other plans for trolleybuses in the Downtown (busses 1 to 10 could be turned into trolleybusses unless tram alignements prohibit it or I might redo the entire bus network altogether) Given where you placed the trolleys, I might be able to add my tram extensions without any conflict (maybe add some transfer points along with the metro stations that I planned, especially the Northern one with the tram as well as with the trolleybus) In my Ep 120 rework I already had to demolish pipes to not reach the node (and lane, I could create roads but no more bus stops for some reason) limit. I guess that by Ep 125, I won't have to do it again because you would have done it yourself. Though in my rework of Ep120 I only tweaked the pipes and not electrical power lines since there not that many. It took me approx 40 min to delete all pipes. A good thing that Cities Skylines 2 will improve this a bit by placing automatically pipes and electricity under the road (at least for the last mile distribution network) Now, how will the new nodes on the roads lanes on the intersections work??? Will they have their own limits or be counted in the general limit? No idea. And I'm afraid that the removed the pipes to give place those... I have mods like painter or MoveIt so my rework is more esaily done than your build. In that perspective, your Terrace build is a perfect waste of beautiful beach sand imo but whatever... The Bob Ross Memorial Interchage district is USELESS, you should get rid of, it, it serves NO neighbourhoods and should be replaced with street naming on the highways or one of a roundabouts. I didn't foresee yout terrace district that seem awfully big, I kind of thought of a direct access to the sea for the tourist facilities... The "concrete water front" as my mother would have sais isn't good looking (must be agreeable for the inhabitants but overall it is an undesired urbanistic way nowadays... at least where I come from) Although my rework taps on public transportation and not urban planning. (I might make one later on for my own fun when you have finished, I guess around Ep125)

[@_fruitnveg]

Since this is now approaching its end, are you thinking of starting a new vanilla build after Verde beach is done, or are you going to wait for CS:2?

Will wait for CS:2 and might have another Abandoned City series. We'll see! Verde Beach is breaking down, so we'll need to figure something else out!

@@CityPlannerPlays I look forward to it. I'll have to play CS:2 vicariously through you in the short term as money is an issue :P
