How to TRANSFORM your Generic Industry Area in Cities Skylines | Auridon

Welcome to Auridon (Ep 2)! This is a 'lightly’ modded Cities Skylines series, although I do use a ton of mods the series will use mostly Vanilla (+DLC) game assets with only a handful of extras from the workshop. The focus of this build is on making a detailed city, with functional mass transit, including all DLC and content creator packs. 2022 ready!
Episode 2 focuses on how to make your generic industry area look good, using mostly vanilla assets and a lot of detailing to completely transform mass zoned industry into something that looks more realistic. We also tidy up the forestry area, extend our road network for future planning and create a small detailed city park district.
This is my first Cities: Skylines let's play series for KZbin, and I know there's lots of work to do so please bear with me!

I've taken massive inspiration for this build, and to start my channel, from the Cities: Skylines greats such as Biffa, Imperatur and City Planner Plays (among many many others i would add!!) but above all from the amazing OverchargedEgg and in particular his Palaven series which has heavily inspired this city. You can check that out here:

And yes, if you've made it this far and was wondering... I am an Elder Scrolls fan :)

I used Google translate to write this review. I am delighted to see another woman posting CS videos. Her content is delicious, well edited, her voice is pleasant, the way she builds it is very interesting and makes me want to see how far her imagination will take us. I hope it is very successful. oh, I came to your channel through Egg. sorry for the english as it was the machine that translated it. 😘

[@skinniestfatman5641]

Well the machine did a good job in translating it

[@rerun3283]

The content is delicious. That's cool!!

[@themellowpea]

yay for more diverse voices in gaming! especially a tranquil game like cities skylines

[@M.W.B.Official]

I know your are in love 🥰

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

Very nice work, yet again! You don't need to thank me, good content deserves exposure 👍

[@Incogneto1981]

This comment! I'm here because of you OE :)

[@meady50]

Ngl I didn’t come here from your video, but I totally agree, people need to see how amazing this content is

[@randallhext8057]

The garbage bins and detail behind the commercial district is not the most glamorous but so accurate and true. Love the detail.

[@Dazzsum]

Your level of detail is astonishing. Loads of things I wouldn’t have even considered doing although I’d imagine if I tried the number of assets you probably have would kill my machine at this point 😂

[@harayaalirak4040]

I love how you go on about making the industry "secure" through the use of gates while also leaving that one gap for a path to the highschool 😆 Clearly besides work your beautiful industry is also a favorite hangout spot for the teens!

[@saethone]

This seems like it'd be the kind of path that kids made on their own. maybe a broken fence asset right there would work perfectly

[@E6GSY]

another great episode, like your idea with the industry areas and bunching them up. not sure if any other YT have covered that. nice to see something fresh and new

[@Excalliber100]

I love Cities Skylines build videos by people who KNOW how to build, because I can’t. Your voice is very pleasant and I watched it to fall asleep last night. It was a wonderful sleep. Now I’m back to continue watching because it’s a great series and I’m excited to see it through! Thank you for posting, truly!

[@zoeparish8190]

Who knew industry areas could be aesthetically pleasing 😍

[@Incogneto1981]

I think you are the best detailer for Cities Skylines OMG! Your factory layout is proper good AND you turned off tree movement!!! No stupid dancing trees!!! I can see you getting a rather large following if your content continues to be of this high quality! Maybe Biffa can learn some detailing tips off of you ;)

[@fewcandy]

Wow, thank you!

[@dodgingotters5409]

That's pretty awesome. I don't think I've seen anyone spend that kind of time detailing the general industry area as something to actually keep around in your city. It looks really great!

[@femoemrah885]

My favorite part of city skylines is the industry, and you have done it beautifully! Great eye for detail. Tho some of those containers going to be hell to move with all the fencing around them😅 Great episode all in all👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@nim2852]

In my opinion, you can use that clear space near the industry as a transit hub once you start working on it. You've established two industries in the same area, so a bus depot and a metro station (or assets that combine them) could be used there with some small commmercial like cafes or paperwork-related stuff that I think would be useful for the workers. Amazing video btw and I LOVE the detailing! Looking forward to more videos!

[@cukka99]

Mind blown. This must easily be the most amazing treatment I've seen of vanilla industry.

[@fewcandy]

Wow thank you!

[@jcosunshine]

Such a gorgeous industrial area, one of your top talents in this game is making industrial look incredibly realistic and incredibly detailed!!!

[@fewcandy]

Ahh thank you Jen, it's my favourite thing to do for sure!

[@BakedZiTi77]

Wow wow wow, one of the best "vanilla" industrial builds I've seen! Factoring in the car park in the middle of it all was amazing, and merging the buildings. 👏👏

[@fewcandy]

Thank you! Really proud of that build still! 😄

[@Heather-uc8iu]

I realize I'm a bit late but I loved this episode. It's nice to see someone use the same brick factories and small office buildings as I use in my industrial areas. I play on console though so it normally takes about a week to generate the right buildings and car parks in the right places. Yours looks a lot better with surface painter and all the props!

[@ihti20]

Holy crops, I've got less ideas than were realized in this particular episode, so... nothing to drop here)) Although, probably I'd build a few dirt roads through the forest...for off-road vehicles, you know. I love how you incorporate different trees and props everywhere, tremendous patience fine tuning literally everything. And factories can be sloppy, yours looks realistic with nicely merged buildings.

[@scoobers2434]

This is super cool. Im a huge fan of TwoDollarsTwenty and some of the other highly detailed Cities KZbinrs but Ive never really been into doing the really detailed creations but I think youve got a really good mix of how to use the vanilla game and light modding to make a beautiful, realistic, and detailed city without having to do the tedious work of placing every individual household and business.

[@AhrisOsman]

Wow, I'm thoroughly impressed and don't remember being this delightfully surprised before from a new channel. Between this video and the last, your detailing and attention to detail is phenomenal, you look very experienced in all the game mechanics and the tools/mods you've chosen to employ, every space is scrutinized to make it as aesthetically pleasing as possible. Exactly the kind of content I love in Cities Skylines. Liked, subscribed and notifications are switched on. Can't wait to see this city and channel grow. Keep up the excellent work. 👌

[@SideshowBen206]

Love the detailing!

[@pomolee]

I'm so happy to have found you. I'm 65 and I've been city building since SimCity 2000. I've subscribed and look forward to catching up on all your videos.

[@tazannacolt3313]

This has just become my favourite series❤️❤️

[@fewcandy]

Wow, thank you! ❤

[@dikdap]

Love the video and details! Glad I subbed 👍🏻

[@jamesdl5495]

This has given me so many ideas for my industry areas!! Can't wait to see more.

[@Nihilianth]

Truck driver here: Not sure if you read comments from your older videos or not. But... 29:00.... You stacked cargo containers on top of each other. This doesn't work inside factory areas, unless they have container stacking cranes. Typically, industrial parks won't have those. You only see them at MAJOR shipping harbors. Like Seattle, LA, and NYC. Even major railway hubs for inland trade, like in Chicago, typically won't have containers stacked up like that. Also, you need large aisles so trucks can maneuver around. Not even jockeys could use that space. Instead of orienting the containers the way you did, you could flip them around 90 degrees from the angle you have them. Leave an aisle all along the fence line in an L shape, and an aisle down the entry-way. The cargo containers could then be set back-to-back. Fronts facing the building, and fronts facing the fence. The rearends of the trailers facing each other ass-end to ass-end with no space between ass-ends. This would maximize the space for jockey-trucks to come in and out as needed. You could MAYBE have a max of 10 cargo containers / trailers in that space. And only jockey trucks could use that space. Now, for heavy long haulers; the big over-the-road trucks; you need a REALLY large, separate yard. Jockey trucks are short with a really low turning radius. They only operate within and between neighboring yards. They cannot travel on highways. That's why only jockeys can use that small yard in there next to the building at 29:00. For the over-the-road long haulers, the tractors themselves are much longer. They have sleepers in them for the driver. They have larger engines for fuel efficiency at higher speeds. And they have a much wider wheel base for stability, safety, and DOT requirements to reduce impact on the roads at high speeds. Because of this, they have a REALLY wide turning radius compared to jockeys. They need a LOT more room for maneuvering. So incoming and outgoing industrial connections need huge areas with wide spaces for dropping off or picking up freight. Basically, long haulers would come in and drop off their trailer in a big yard. These would typically be supplies of raw materials the factories need. A jockey would pick up the trailer from the large yard when it's almost ready to be needed, and bring it into the tight space next to the factory. When the factory is finished loading an empty trailer with their finished product, the jockey would take it to the large yard where a long hauler would come and pick it up and take it away. That factory in that small yard doesn't need more than ten trailers there. In fact, it probably doesn't even need more than 5. That factory asset itself needs actual dock doors. Building a large yard for long haulers on the other side of the fence would be realistic. A cargo railyard, which you mentioned you'll be placing in the other side of the highway, would work. Not sure why I haven't seen an asset that connects factories directly to a railroad. Sometimes you might see a cargo loading crane right on a railroad siding that goes directly onto the factory property itself, without having to use an actual cargo railroad hub. This is the ideal situation. You only need a jockey to transfer cargo containers between the dock doors and the cranes. And the cranes just lift the container onto a flatbed railroad car. No further infrastructure needed. BTW, the difference between a container and a trailer: Containers are the ones that are lifted by cranes off of container ships and railroad car flatbeds. They are then lifted onto tractor-trailer flatbeds and transported by roads. Trailers are just trailers. They are not shipped anywhere by sea or train. They just simply are picked up by tractors and driven over the road as tractor-trailer semis. They cannot be stacked like cargo containers can be.

[@fewcandy]

Thank you, that's all really useful information I never knew!

[@c87_archive]

Thoroughly loving this series!

[@peteruelimaa4973]

I can learn so much about making my cities more detailed. Thank you! I hope your channel continues to grow!

[@Carl_Black]

Enjoying your build. Thank you for sharing.

[@TomPaarluck]

I loved the industry area set up, it was done so well with the details and the building selection. See you on the next episode!!

[@morranrielle]

Loved the industry area build🔥🔥🔥 Keep up the good work!

[@adamcharbonneau9901]

This was very fresh! Inspiring!

[@wmcg2252]

Amazing! Thank you for sharing your creativity with the community. Can't wait to see more.

[@rytimk1983]

Insane skills! a pleasure to watch you play

[@flyingstrike]

Loving the series so far - keep them coming please :) Haven't played Cities Skylines for months but you have just reignited my love of this game, going to install your mod list now.

[@judassuperstar1424]

So far it’s amazing, your attention to details is so inspiring..

[@aznomads1579]

So glad I've found your channel, really enjoying it so far!

[@DtF2611]

Brilliant! A very refreshing approach to the oh-so-tricky industry areas. Inspired me to be a little bit more timely with my builds too - no more plop and move on!

[@jodiecox8951]

An amazing and beautiful industry area. This is how it's DONE.

[@WillCSOfficial]

Another great episode! You really deserve this growth!

[@krisinhere1691]

Really liked how you organized your industry. Also like the detailing intermissions between builds.

[@balamar123]

Wow. Very nice job. I'm happy to see someone taking time detailing industrial area.

[@JoyBuildsCities]

Beautiful detailing 🌲 excellent 2nd episode. Looking forward to the next. 😊

[@Darrow97]

Loved the industry area detailing.

[@carlharris8987]

Hands down one of the nicest industries I've seen. Great job

[@ashbash2634]

Fantastic attention to detail :D

[@tkfaf15]

I'm always astonished at what can be done with detailing & this was amazing. I'm so glad Egg put you on my radar! Thanks for another brilliant episode & I look forward to the next one.

[@kombinatx]

your detailing is absolutely beautiful

[@Illkiron]

I'm really loving your work! Walkabilty is so important, you are great! And I love the industry areas as well.

[@matthewshields1734]

I’m totally new to the game and am so thankful for your combination of detailing with lots of vanilla content! It makes your videos really approachable and makes me want to explore more. Also YES the vanilla industrial zones look so cartoonish! Can’t wait to try to apply some of this stuff.

[@charobeans6563]

Rural towns like the one I grew up in have parks named after famous people that were born/grew up in the town. You could name the park a made-up famous person like- “Ruth Gerber”: actress/singer from the 60s!

[@Grammarsaurus]

Such a good episode!!

[@Valbird23]

That factory is a beaut! Really have that industrial complex vibe down. Great content.

[@currently_heather243]

Holy moly this episode was amazing! I looove what you did with the industry area - so refreshing and inspiring for my own city! Please keep making content! Can't wait to see more and more builds and detailing. The detailing is just incredible!

[@PeterESSA]

Wow, this was very good and inspiring! Thanks for great content!

[@beonedge1235]

Great work out there madame. I love the series. Your sub counts went up by a good percentage from the 1st video. It shows how good you are. Cheers.

[@SomtimesHeron]

Great job on the first video, I like how you are adjusting and learning based on that one. If they are all like these two you will quickly become a place to go to for CS videos

[@grahamster612]

The industry area has such amazing character. I’m blown away with this video, can’t wait to see the city (and your channel) continue to grow!

[@meady50]

I love these videos and how you play the game, keep making videos as time lets you! Also, I’m looking forward to being able to say I was watching your videos ever since the beginning once you become a huge success.

[@BHicklin15]

You're making such a beautiful city! I never have the attention span to detail like this but I love your results. Looking forward to this Metropolis!

[@skess]

Just found your videos. Enjoyed the industrial area rebuild! And your video quality is good. Nice start to the series.

[@brown1971]

You're such a solid builder and your production is so well done. I'm happy to have another creator whose videos I look forward to. I'm with Egg, good content deserves exposure!

[@guvnorcitiesshowcase]

Awesome way of approaching generic industry. This makes it look so much better!!

[@staxlhax1849]

Awesome vidjeo fc, love how you built the industrial zone, I’ve tried similar projects but without quite as much success. Looking forward to number 3.

[@comikx-familia8532]

Very cool industry area. It looks "realistic" in the way that you put a lot of parkings, security and storage area. Nice result! I like the way yo detail with trees.

[@fragproof]

Really great ideas with the industrial area. I'm loving the vanilla+ approach.

[@robatchelor8872]

I'm so happy I found your channel! Great start to Auridon, I love your attention to detail. You're the first woman I've found playing Cities on KZbin, so I'm super excited to see you grow ♥ Looking forward to more videos!

[@F1CKS]

The attention to detail here is incrediable i like the series!

[@markbandeira]

I absolutely LOVE IT that you paid so much attention to generic industry!! Way to go!!!

[@Hypn00Toad]

Besides the great detailing that makes your city very realistic, I really like the pace of your videos 😊

[@MinecraftPanda8]

Already love your content!

[@mgSocialist]

This series is on fire! Nice job on the detailing 🔥

[@MrJasperdeKnegt]

Calling Myrtle, there's a 🔥 burning over here @CPP

[@bradplayscities]

I'm really enjoying your build style and commentary - and congrats on 1k subs

[@skinniestfatman5641]

Love it, looks like you've made a brewery. Given me some ideas for my city of Amesbury

[@joeschmoe0216]

Again, this level of detail is just astounding! It looks so good! Dare I say it looks like you could give OverchargedEgg a run for his money! Well done, yet again.

[@craigbarker7918]

Hey Candy. I've just subscribed. Wow your detailing is amazing. It's the one thing I never seem to bother with but after watching your first video I'll definitely be giving it more of my attention and time though I doubt I'll ever be as good as you. The city is looking lovely.

[@MB-ww5ej]

I’m new to your channel (recommended through Biffa) and really enjoying your content. Love how your city is shaping up and really like what you have done with the industry area in this episode. I’ve played mainly on PS4 but have also started on PC and just starting in to mods. It would be great if you could do a tutorial on RICO, reploppables, BOB and the assets you use to design and detail your cities - I completely agree - the end result looks so much better and more realistic than the basic zone-grown layout. Keep up the good work. 😀

[@frenchfriar]

FewCandy, i really lke your style, and this was another very good episode, so glad to have found you right off. Wishing you much success.

[@nanfredman1991]

Thank you for this build! Great inspiration. Smashing together vanilla industry buildings is like finding a whole new toy I'd overlooked.😄🙃

[@fewcandy]

Haha thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@hustledude]

After watching lots of overcharged egg, your video popped up in my recommended list and this is my first video I’ve seen of yours. I can already tell you’re one of the best cs players and designers I have seen, wow! Subscribed and I look forward to more!

[@thesoupdragon112]

I love the level of detailing, especially those gardens behind the shops they look so realistic 👏 so glad I subbed I'm already looking forward to the next episode 😀

[@fewcandy]

thank you!

[@gmtm2162]

Another great CS channel to subscribe to. This really is some superb quality content. Inspires me to take a bit more time on my builds. Love the music you used in this 2nd video. Excellent narration and great to hear another Brit. Please keep up the amazing work, and congratulations on nearly 3k subscribers.

[@JacksonOwex]

I keep finding, and getting recommended, so much great content that I have WATCHED more of this game than I have actually play since I got it, I think! I'm not 100% sure how I found this channel but I think it was through the 5 Builders 1 City Season 3 thing that Czardus does! It's hard to choose whether to play the game or watch all these great people play the game, they are all definitely better than I am at it!

[@heidiwheeler1930]

Time flies when I’m watching your build. I am hoping that you will occasionally show some more detailing in real time rather than in the time lapses. You have so many creative ideas, I need a second or two to process them.

[@fewcandy]

Thanks for your feedback, I'll look to try and incorporate more commentary where time allows! But if you'd like to see more I also stream weekly so you can see detailing in 'real time' with commentary, there's a link in the video description and you can watch back past streams 😀

[@FuchsiaShocked]

This series is my new fave - your detailing is top notch, and inspiring me to try some detailing in my own cities.

[@fewcandy]

Ahh thank you so much! Glad you are enjoying it 😄

[@rajkolambekar3800]

I am really glad that I found another CS player with such a good detailing that you do🤩

[@alienamzal477]

First time, I came after OE. I was not sure if I would like this series. Now this video came in my recommended, so I think Iam going to like it even before starting. Keep it up

[@delroyclarke1989]

Love your episode of the city, I came across from Overcharged Egg, Keep up with the good work 😊

[@vgrundea52]

Another great video! at the park I thought about Aurora Park
