How To Use & Make High Density Look GOOD! | Cities Skylines Noobs Guide #4

[@rachelraspberry1761]

Just a comment to let the algorithm know you deserve a part of the profit from all mushroom coffee and dyson vacuum commercials I'm watching.

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

Lmoa thank you, Rachel!

[@brianmcgoldrick9529]

Was it Four Sigmatic coffee? My work keeps it stocked and that's the coffee I go for

[@jeremiahreal3525]

wow i never thought of creating my high density zones like that, it is truly beautiful, i usually just mass zone and end up with bad traffic

[@stachysteve7541]

I'm absolutely loving this series! I've started a new city and it is looking better and better thanks to you. I've been waiting for a video on high density cuz I'm not very good at making high density look good. Thanks for the tips!

[@wwm84]

32:22 I was biting my tongue, but since you said it, yes, my eye twitches seeing those water pipes just willy-nilly all over the place.

[@RustyWalker]

A tip Captain Ahvious uses. An absolute ton of assets that seem to need to be next to the road actually don't. Place a temporary road a square or two forward from their final position. Place the asset. Delete and redraw the road in its final position. This allows you to add detail to the front of an asset, like fencing in school builds, or fleshing out a plaza symmetrically. Use the sugar maple tree in the space between your "grim" 2x4 residential and the road. It's pollution tolerant.

[@macchi8882]

Been spending my whole day off watching this series man. All i can say is that im learning a lot. Great job man!

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

Awesome, thank you!

[@KindandDarkOne]

Between you and city planner plays, I've learned SO much about this great game, thank you very much Egg.

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

Thanks for watching mate!

[@KindandDarkOne]

@@OVERCHARGEDEGG your welcome :)

[@saschaz.8243]

Absolutely agree. Especially when it comes to vanilla ways to solve things. I like the quality of life many mods give but unfortunately they keep breaking my saves so I stopped using them. Hence I really appreciate well made vanilla gameplays like this and cpp

[@moffxanatos6376]

The more I see stuff like this the more I want Paradox to make an open world game that uses Cities Skylines as a map editor.

[@michaelw6222]

Can't wait to get my trams added in. I'm also spending a ton more time detailing, which is always a good thing.

[@rochelleellis5530]

Hands down the best channel for CS content. I don’t ever subscribe to channels like this but it was instant. I hope you do videos for CS 2.

[@complexcitiesskylines]

"Road against road action" love it!

[@gregorytyler647]

Favorite Part: "Kind of a more dire... you know... frontage residential here now, right? It's a little bit more grim-looking I think, isn't it? ..... Wonderful!"

[@apotheosis27]

That nighttime cinematic at the end is spectacular. Loving this series, mate!

[@nightrider_]

Egg not terraforming is so weird. xD This was pure Egg goodness in Cities, with layers of height, ped paths and cycle highway with trams, beautiful episode. That bus stop by the metro and tram stop looks like it needs some kind of support though. Love the music also!

[@j.j.r.6075]

I think some of us (myself included) become so accustomed to terraforming that we instinctively create perfectly flat terraformed areas, and then create manicured cliffs or retaining walls to compensate. What this video reminds me is that some slopage, a little terrestrial unevenness, adds so much to the realism. The vanilla assets don't look too bad at all with a little slope. Beautiful vanilla city, Egg!

[@GirlVersusGame]

The only thing more relaxing than playing the game is following a let's build, it's only been a few nights now and it's come together so well. I really enjoy just exploring the build and back tracking to see what choices were made and to better understand why. It's been fun adding personal touches too and incorporating my own aesthetic and style. I'm really looking forward to the interchange video, the default one is so awful looking.

[@viniciuscredendio]

Amazing high-density zone design. ill make use of these great tips. Thank you so much!

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

Thank you bro! Glad it could help :)

[@Lunarisultros]

Wow, only just realised you can adjust the trees on the streets... Mind blown, thank you for that!

[@KJames2345]

Noob is such a strong word, this is obviously aimed towards new players. There isn't a right way or a wrong way on how to build a city, it's down to your own imagination.

[@lausymaus9856]

I have the feeling you're Bob Ross reborn, now playing CS rather than painting.

[@Ben_LaBroca]

Excellent ideas and guidance buddy - very enjoyable and helpful!

[@Daxtoe]

As always a great source of inspiration. Thank you OE!!

I finally understand what Kanye meant when he said "four in the morning and I'm zoning" 😂

[@Captain_Ahvious]

"If it fits, we sits!" 😄 Love it!

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

Lol thanks bro

[@joncorso6103]

You should leave at least one of the so called ugly high density buildings in the build. That way us noobs could at least judge for ourselves. Once it hits level 5 then you can show us and tell us why you don't like it then tear it down and replace it.

[@davidbeard2451]

True

[@kaydxn_rblx]

Thanks for the tips and tricks!😀❤️

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

Glad you like them!

[@mansleg1188]

Wow what an episode! It looks so much better the way you approach the high density!!! (Compared to my habit of mass zoning). Do you ever use the ban high rise policy in a district to manage the levelling up of high density?

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

Rarely! I always forgot its there haha, I tend to just make my favs historical :) Glad you're enjyoing it :)

[@beccirobertson4979]

Almost at 16 thousand and its starting to get busy! I messed up with the high-density, it does look a bit ugly. The traffic is using mainly the industrial entrance now and it's getting a bit busy. I'll watch a few more before going back to the game, I think, just so I learn more about placement. You are very good at this. I couldn't afford an additional DLC so no trams for me :(. Thanks so much for doing this series.

[@the_gambino]

LOL I've been playing this game for two years, yet I am just now finding out from this vid that you can replace the trees on the roads!

[@valleyplays]

Is there anything you can’t do egg ? Flawless video, looking forward to cooking some scrambled egg with these ideas! Thanks Egg

[@simonsv9449]

Tip: I usually try to keep some roads with parking on them instead of converting all into roads with trees on them so that cims who still have somewhere to park their cars. If you are going to walk, you cant just walk 25 kilometres. You need to have somewhere to park.

[@Kreepie11]

Been playing along with you! Some of my measurements are off, but the city is looking beautiful. Having a bit of an issue with traffic on the industrial roundabout; hope that sorts out soon. Thanks for the amazing content!

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

Your Industries will eb & flow as the demands of the city do, leading to spikes and low points in traffic. Reducing your industry in that area can help, also further highway exits too. Glad you're enjoying it :)

[@Kreepie11]

@@OVERCHARGEDEGG Good to know! Mostly I was confused at the difference, but thinking back I put less coal plants and a million recycle centres in there. That might be it. 😅. Honestly though this is great. Hope this series takes off for you. 🙂

[@davidbeard2451]

Interesting idea about high density zoning

[@Lars22]

What I like to do when zoning 4x4 back to back is having 3 wide assets from time to time to offset the houses a bit. Btw I really enjoyed your take and did not know about the tree upgrade.

[@saschaz.8243]

I started a new city the other day and didn’t feel like the hassle to put the pipes along the roads so I just placed them for coverage. Took about 2 hours for me to rip ALL of them out and put them under the roads 🙈😂😂 I just couldn’t handle it

[@bigalthecrusher]

[@chunyinanimation]

Great timing your video came out just before i start building my high density zone. Is there a limit to how many historic buildings the vanilla support?

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

Not as far as I'm aware ☺️

[@Mallet10]

Nice Guide! I've noticed my coroners don't always go to the nearest death. I may have to fire them.

[@cukka99]

I'm not sure if this is the right place and the right way to make requests/suggestions, but let me have a go. I am hoping you might consider two ideas. First, the city of Corvallis in Oregon has an interesting skate park built right underneath a highway interchange. It's called Eric Scott McKinley Skate Park. I hope you (or Few Candy or both!) would have a go at something of that spirit! Second, when it comes time to use the Central Park asset, I'd love to see a build that takes advantage of the fact that its pathways are of the type that let you hook pedestrians paths onto them. I think I would find it interesting to see a build that combines the Central Park asset with some of the other vanilla parks that allow the same, to end up with a truly grand central park design. [Edit: I initially made the skate park suggestion to Few Candy, but I was a bit too late; she had already incorporated the skate park asset very nicely into Prepare to Market.]

[@_XoGuSi_]

You are creating nice videos. After watching some tuts of KZbinrs who are creating extremely esthetic cities, or how to create cities like machines which bring millions, you have a good series of creating a nice + functional cities without using tons of mods. Hope your channel will grow!

[@anonymousanonymity2815]

A thing for me, which probably doesn’t mesh styles wise, is that if you don’t want to do the historical things but keep, idk, the buildings height cohesive is you can use the European style as a sort of buffer between the suburban buildings and then to the skyscraper buildings. It’s not perfect but its a good compromise between marking historical for hours and having a totally awful looking city imo

[@7th_CAV_Trooper]

The vanilla tram depot creates its own traffic jams when all the trams come out. Why have two tram houses and then dump them onto a single track? I scanned the workshop for some better options and found a modular depot. Will try that today as I'm interested in trying a new layout for my tram network.

[@arlecks3718]

good stuff bro

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

Appreciate it :)

[@GoldenPancake]

How to get that lighting? I love that lighting!

[@bekw4366]

@6:52 what is the purpose of putting in a path alongside the road which has paths alongside it anyway? Do pedestrians not use the paths on the side of the roads? Thank you!

[@eas7246]

what district theme did you use?

[@rodrigomendes3327]

One thing I hate that is a myth that cars use arterial roads. This is not true. They use only the short path. Only and just only. I will try some IA changes on TMPE, but they all ends with vehicle and people moving slow, make it looks like even my 12400F is not enough to deal with it.

[@Jforce0078]

Whats the difference between tram and trolley?

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

Trams hold more people and can be built on their own type of tram only road

[@laragreen7831]

Loved these videos! ...... my gf heard the vids and mentioned that you say "okay" allot and its very annoying .. now I cant unhear it and hate to say I agree with her hahaha.... Why woman why?!?!

what is the name of the mod that slows the vehicles/pedestrians etc down? looks like a much more realistic speed from what I can see

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

That would be the Speed Slider mod! I use it for cinematics but I agree, 65% does seem a little more natural imo

What does making an asset historical do?

What do you use to upgrade the trees on the roads to be bigger ?

[@Craftycatz1289]

thanks for the advice

[@rahill-95]

Great video !!!

[@mikejones-xq6vw]

Love it Egg.

[@Mike-mz9cm]

Hey, so making a building historical keeps the building looking the same but allows it to still level up, right? Just want to make sure I'm still maximizing population because the highrise ban actually prevents a building from reaching its top level.

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

Yes, will still go to level 5 eventually but just keeps its appearance

[@mickynixon4814]

Awesome :)

[@kenhebe11]

I am hoping you get and respond to this because I am getting frustrated. I have googled this and read a lot of wrong responses. I am working with your Noobs guide and you are placing the maintenance depot. The problem I have is the road maintenance TAB is missing. I have checked the others and the building is nowhere. Any ideas where my tab may have went? I am just hoping you have encountered this and know what's wrong.

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

You are missing the Snowfall DLC mate, it comes with that. Link in the description to InstantGaming, you can find it super cheap there now. Hope that helps

[@kenhebe11]

Ah yes, IG was out of stock. Not sure I want to pay 13.00 for trams...lol. @@OVERCHARGEDEGG

Well I got excited to see it back in stock. Bought it, installed it and went to adding trams. Then out of no where a tornado. Neither the weather nor the disasters things were ticked but I still got one. So much damage and destruction that I am all off with your video so its time to dump it. Oh well. Not sure what went wrong but if it happens again I will remove the DLC. @@OVERCHARGEDEGG

How to make people speed normal like yours?

[@equinoxjoestar5370]

I have no idea how to deal with traffic problems

[@fredkelly6953]

I have graveyards and crematoriums and the dead still don't get picked up. I get annoyed with it and kill the building because I'll have a cooker down the road like one block away and they still don't get picked up. Is there a facility in the game to mark a place for urgent? The same with rubbish with the worst offenders being the industries main buildings. I'll put a dump and incinerator next to the things and nothing happens. Granted they eventually pick up the rubbish but the dead not so much.

[@Lars22]

This may be due to bad traffic. Meaning hurses stuck in traffic jams. Or maybe some guys are poorly connected and cannot be reached..

So the frontage system is great....when it has access. You keep cul-de-sac'ing frontage roads and making them really hard to get to.

[@monochrome_soft9472]

so an area is too noisy to place houses because people would get sick and upset... so you put.. a cemetery there instead. a place of quiet reflection where people can mourn their lost loved ones...

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

I wouldn't take it too literally mate, the noise mechanic in Cities is a joke

[@bluewrites2278]

Not as bad as placing a children's health care center directly across the street of said graveyard. I would have switched it and the seniors care building. But the videos are great!
