How To Start A SUCCESSFUL & Detailed City For Economy 2.0!

[@bjroo]

A lot of islands off the coast of thailand start with Ko or Koh so you could call it Koh Khai which means Egg Island. I’m not thai and i just used google translate so it could be wrong, but i think it works

[@scheballs7]

That's PERFECT

[@thastayapongsak4422]

It's correct

[@thastayapongsak4422]

Also, Koh/Ko just means "island".

[@PalmsTime]

As I'm a Thai person, I can confirm that this is definitely correct! 😃

[@bjroo]

@@PalmsTime Ok that’s good. Your map is amazing by the way

I really want to thank you for this. I am not sure how far you have gone on this series yet as I have not looked but this episode has been great. I have been struggling with this game for some reason. You have helped me possibly enjoy this game for the 1st time since it released. I've 2000 hrs in CS:1, Which i loved. and 300 in CS:2, which i'm struggling to love. Love the way you are doing this. Not going to fast or too slow. and not skipping over things. :)

If i could make a suggestion/request for the future, do you think you could recreate the elephant sanctuary that is there? Some sort of park/zoo area might work maybe? Anyway, it was one of my favourite memory's from being there, it was lovely seeing the elephants hanging out 😊 Either way i can't wait to see where you take this map

[@tigonologdring9189]

Verrry nice start Egg! Those riverbed/bank textures from Sully layer to make some beautiful things possible (use the decals too); same goes for the beach, which I can't wait for you to have fun with. Wee tip on the tree lines: set your line tool to random *rotation* to lose the "Send in the Clones" look that you can get with a whole bunch of identical assets perfectly aligned. It's the icon toggle next to the one that looks like Stonehenge, not the random icon for colour variations. I guess a couple more additons to the Egg Box will be required then... and possibly to even publish it to Pdx?

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

Always down for more additions to the Egg Box mate! Thanks for the tips again :)

[@CharlieGeneralS]

I have to admit, I was enjoying CS2 Vanilla but after copying your mod load order from your description, the game feels like 100x better! Thank you for putting it there :)

Egg with the way you designed the gravestone area I’m sure they can make another deathcare asset that could function like the landfill tool or any of the specialized industry tools. So graveyards can really feel authentic to each little build and city. Cheers

A new fun city build. Thank you. 🥃🥃

[@ianpollard6041]

Great to see a new OE city, have followed all of yours in the past and learnt lots (learnt a couple of things about Tree Controller already from this episode alone). Have you considered using Zoning Toolkit to control which roads buildings spawn against? I use it all the time - it's not 100% perfect (it has to be used before you start spawning anything or it doesn't work) but has its uses. Skyve says it is incompatible with Move It but I've never had an issue with them clashing.

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

I've heard of the ZTK but not tried it yet, will give it a look!

[@stevekirkby6570]

Brilliant - I am playing on this map... it's great. If there is one thing wrong... there is too much ground water resource! How can that be a problem? Any industry that is built over groundwater polutes it... so you have to be very careful. Just checking out where you have put the wind farms .... I put mine up on the ridge for maximum wind velocity - very similar to the island where I live in the Azores. They are super powerful up there and you have good road access on the switchback mountain roads.

[@manijak.0]

Damn, this is a great start. Now it makes me wanna try CS2 again, even though I told myself I'd wait for custom assets XD

I'm with you on removing the tile maintenance. Really liked seeing this...feels a lot more CS because you have to manage the budget in the early game. Of all the details, my fav is the path in the residential/cul-de-sac neighborhood. You ripped through placing it Nad the game made it look normal. Super cool.

[@magicmayhem69]

Love this city, really beautiful layout. However, with regards to the large brick path leading to the car park, may I suggest you narrow it, or add bollards, because in real life, people would so drive down it 🤣

Honestly, I’m not sure you can really say you are playing “Economy 2.0” and remove the main economy challenge they introduced. A bit disappointed on that, but I’m sure it will be great content as always.

[@WhatsleftofTom]

What challenge are you talking about?

[@douglasdetoni7835]

All the main content creators on KZbin struggled with the costs of tile upkeep. In the game, as in real life, if you take things from the economy, it will have an impact on the margins of the other things that depend on it. I would love to see a “city start” episode that takes the economy seriously so we can really see how it works.

[@LordofSyn]

I agree. It would be nice to see someone tackle the E2.0 with a fully vanilla game. No mods. Might be a bit too early for that as there are not enough assets to support it?! Finally, it would be a nice thing to see not just for the tutorial of doing it all vanilla but also a way to bridge to future console players who will most likely be getting the game soon. I understand, fully; why the creative license was chosen by most of the Creators. These tools are practically essential QOL tools to build cities that look distinct and have their own personalities.

[@TheNowerianRaven]

I've been low key depressed ever since the launch of CS2 when it turned out to be such a disappointing launch. But watching this video made me realize that with mods, the game is in a state where I might find joy in playing it again. So I went and picked up the game (on sale at Instant Gaming, admittedly) midway through the detailing timelapse. I'll probably still not be completely happy with the game until bikes and proper urbanism is introduced, but you've made me realize that a lot of it can be fixed with mods. I'll be watching the rest of the series for inspiration and tips for sure.

I had big problems with none of my mods loading with the new Economy 2.0 Patch. Resolved because some of the old mods (Gooe, Dependancy Pack and Legacy Flavour for example) leave files on the computer even if you reload everything from scratch. You need to go to C:\\Users\[Your User name]\AppData\LocalLow\Colossal Order\Cities Skylines II open any folders with 'Mod' in the title (I have four on my computer) and delete any folders for mods you are no longer using. This worked for me and got all my mods back (including Find It and Move It). Cannot help if you are on a Console I am afraid.

Can’t say it’s a successful economy 2.0 without normal costs. I’m currently at level 6 with about 5500 pop and the money just doesn’t come in. No expansion yet. All original tiles. But the ability to make money has been significantly impacted
