In theory you could do "Hunger Games" map with 13 districs and Capitolium in CS2. It would be the most interesting video series 😉

[@HellFire.4]

Got it :)

[@frantasramota1359]

One small tip: Do another Subway lines same as the existing lines, but the other way around.

[@Kropka8]

u can upgrade your train station to have subway in it - it will prevent all this people to croos the roud only to get to the subway station ;)

[@jonahfastre]

Train stations can be upgraded to include subway tracks, so people won’t need to cross the road

[@Honeybeeismydad]

I was wondering if he was going to at the start of the video

[@jonathannilsson8482]

Also at this amount I think it would definitely be worth it to build a pedestrian bridge and remove the crossing on the road so it doesn't halt traffic if they do need to cross.

[@roymaaskant365]

Yeah maybe make it a big square and make the road go underground

[@SirPeacemaker]

@jonahfastre You are correct. But the thing is, it looks like broken to me. All other subway stations in my city are very busy. But in a subwaystation under the trainstation waits almost nobody. Thats why I think its broken. I will try to demolish the trainstation and build a new one with no subway station underground. And I will build separated subway station next to it to see how it goes.

[@jonahfastre]

@@SirPeacemakerhmmm, that’s strange, in my city it seems to work just fine.

[@charlievandermeiren1408]

2 episodes in 2 days. I love how calming this series is. Hope you get better from covid and keep up the great work

[@stephenmurray9850]

The reason your subway trains do what they do when they spawn- is the lines are one way going INTO the tram maintenance area , so they have to maneuver to get onto the correct lines. Your city looks great. Thanks for the video.

[@Hariboe]

Quick subway tip! Londoner here: One of the best layouts for a subway is to have the linear lines connected via a ring line so that passengers don’t need to go into a central district to change but can jump between lines using the ring line instead You can see this with the circle line on the underground in London 👍☺️ Edit: wouldn’t worry about right turns on the subway too much, the London Underground has plenty and curved platforms at some stations (Bank is iconic) so yes your curves are pretty realistic !

[@hie104]

This Happens in Singapore too! Very affective (from a Londoner)

[@kickgreven3921]

@@hie104 I love how the the word affective added so much more drama to that sentence

[@eranreznic9583]

I don't know how it works in cities skylines, but having all the line converge onto the same tracks limits the frequency of all those lines because you can only have trains coming every ~1.5 minutes in the interlined section. A more effective layout is having a lot of interchanges between line all over the city (like in Paris and most modern metro systems) plus loop lines on the edges or close to the edges of the regular lines (like in Moscow)

[@donovankloster1072]

I love all your comments about subways! It would be nice If there was more options for Subways stations above/ underground and more vehicle types...

[@hie104]

@donovankloster1072 And Overground stations and smaller stations.

[@guyschofield6746]

I think you should put an overpass thing for the pedestrians at the train station so it doesn’t interrupt the traffic even more

[@Angrychef-jx8bp]

Or on the same side of the street

[@guyschofield6746]

@@Angrychef-jx8bp yeah maybe

[@user-wq9mw2xz3j]

sucks that this game doesn't have pedestrian overpasses

YOU MAKE MY DAY WITH THESE VIDEOS! Have the game myself, but what you make is such a work of art. Such a pleasure watching this world grow and develop! Keep it up PapaK!

[@AdmiralRex]

At 16:39 you asked for suggestions of what to put there. I'm not sure how it is in Europe, but in America we have rest stops along the highways where you can get gas, food, and buy things. I think it would be cool to use the space for that somehow (Maybe waiting to do it until more mods/assets are available?). Anyways, great series so far! Keep it up Papa K! :)

[@Okayandwhat]

Service stations!

[@mandymaurik372]

those subways are avoiding those staires like train line bc they are one way, if you reverse them they'll be working just fine

[@MaximilianZ96]

They don’t avoids the stairs. If you look closely the track don’t connect to the right track of the main line and that’s where the trams want to go.

[@Xaberfold]

The reason the subway trains are backing awkwardly out of the maintenance depot is because of the direction of the one-way tracks, not the little step, FYI. Love the neat loops!

[@nicholas8895]

This is easily the best city I've seen out of all the playthroughs that I'm watching! You're awesome Keralis!! Sending love from America! ❤️

[@Gentleman...Driver]

Watch the Infrastructionist.

[@pfang32]

Agreed. Also agree w infrastructualist, Biffa and city planner plays. but keralis is the funniest and has all the references I get like and theeeeeennnn

[@sol_in.victus]

@@pfang32 love biffa but kettlebridge isn't exactly the most aesthetically pleasing C:S2 city 😅

[@sverreoverbeeke316]

you can add a subway station to the trainstation as part of an upgrade to stop the flow of people wanting to cross the road from the subway station to the trainstation

[@OldLordSpeedy]

2:40 Wow! Very good idea with the separation of tram and car road! 😊

[@jaklg7905]

I love how you can see down onto the subway platform. It would be great if they added bicycles and bike lanes to the roads. Probably saving it for a DLC.

[@luizarthurbrito]

I have zero doubt in my mind this will be a feature introduced in a DLC.

[@samtheslumpgod4857]

Hi Keralis, been a huge fan for numerous years... even remember the old intro with the dirt hut. Anyways, I wanted to say keep it up and don't let this series die!!!! Loving all of it.

[@cursed_hyacinth]

This is the best relaxing series. My favourite street is Pearl street with the tram tracks.

[@fin1332]

Whenever Keralis uploads one of these I jump at it like a rabid dog, It makes my day

[@jiawei.mp4]

Fun fact: you can't connect Underground subwzy stations using paths. Just link them via those 2 sidings underground passageways Also, Train Stations includes a subway interface, although it's pretty broken and if you already have the station services and shops, no one will use it

[@CNDYFLIP]

The subway layout isn’t too uncommon but I notice all the routes are one way so all the pedestrians have to ride the whole loop to go the opposite direction plus there is no way to travel north and within the city center only east and west. love the content tho keep it up

[@totteluri]

Thought about that as well. xD

[@CODTerracraft]

You need to add the traffic light enchantment mod! Basically allows you to customize the traffic lights cycle and every individual lane Including disabling u turn !!

[@thronee_]

Love it, I think some pedestrian bridges/tunnels would really help the foot traffic blocking the road near the downtown train/subway stations. Not only is it currently slowing down cars, but with the cars and pedestrians hesitating for each other it slows them both down. Crosswalk might be too ambitious for that busy area :)

[@Vinne5931]

“It’s a thing” papa Keralis, it is a beautiful thing, Keralis you have made fabulous city, well done

[@rebelshark9911]

great vid as always man! i started watching you when i was 14 about 10 years ago makes me happy to see you're still the king of bushes and then.. no and then :)

[@jacoblienhardt]

Heads up, the post sorting building is bugged and currently doesn’t work. Awesome series, I’ve been loving it!

[@Daniel-sj2hq]

Try adding a over the road walkway at the train station to streamline the process and take away the pedestrian crossings

[@comik-x-familia]

In each of your train stations you can add a subway station extention. Ok, Someone said it before. I really enjoy each of your CS series, Keralis. Your intersections are nice and your cities look realistic in some way ✌

[@belish5665]

I am fascinated by your series. Thank you for keeping it going. I love seeing the scale and magnitude of how busy your transportation hub has become. That downtown train station with the subway terminal is the heart of your city right now. It seems like traffic coming to that area would be awful. Even buses are stuck because there are SO many people crossing the crosswalk from the train to the subway. You might want to put them on the same side of the street to avoid that pedestrian congestion. Keep up the good work!

[@henkhenkiememes6554]

“It’s huge! That’s what’s she said” Had me dying

You can be as derpie as you like Keralis, this series of video's is amazing. Commentary is fantastic, and you are the BOSS at being mayor. You're loaded!

[@cieramist1]

As always...WONDERFUL video! I always look forward to the NEXT EPISODE of your city, because it looks so good! You have so much talent when it comes to building a city, and you never make it a dull moment either.

[@mr.crabston9497]

i've been absolutly loving this series!! Every episode is a treat, thank you Keralis

[@dylan_galway]

the subway would not go that way because of the fact that it is a one way line and the need to leave that direction because that is the only logical way cause otherwise they would be backwards, Keralis!

[@averagezing]

One thing I love doing is creating a Cities Services district -- a super forested area with all of the HUGE city buildings -- prison, university, post sorting facility, etc. all poking through the forest. No housing cuz it's loud, just a few roads and big buildings in a forest. Maybe that's an idea for one of the areas you said you wanted to know what to do with

[@samuel.stelzer]

I think taking the subway to get to the train station and from there get to work is perfectly fine and makes it more interesting. Now you use all kinds of public transport - subway, trains, trams. If you build subway lines directly to the industrial area you'll make the trains and trams redundant. Also I think you're missing the counter clockwise lines on the subway loops. Anyways, great job as always - Keralisville looks amazing!

[@lauriea2971]

Hi my friend Keralls Nice city. I think u should add a small camping area in that one area that u asked for in the beginning of this video 😊

[@ollyu1126]

Been a fan since the first Cities series. Love the Video! Can't way for more episodes!

[@lost3478]

hey keralis your vids are really relaxing!!! i wanted to let you know for the public transport each of them should compliment each other for it to be more accessible and realistic. basically your metro should somehow connect to the bus stops and the bus stop should continue to move people where the subway line ends, also think about the sound pollution of a subway line!!! if you have low density housing you dont want a subway station running 24/7 in ur basement. for high density housing since people live in high rises the sound is not as bothersome. same thing with the trams. it should continue connecting people around the city where a subway station either doesn’t make sense or is not optimal to make a subway station. but you do you the city looks amazing i wish i could paint a city this good!!!

[@duskjester3027]

33:44 that's a lot of diss tracks. Those subway trains must have a lot of pent up frustration

[@Ron.xionzre]

KZbin did not destroy the night scene at all, please definitely keep it

[@NZMunchie]

What I found with the Subway system was that you need A) MANY Multiple Subway Yards to supply enough Subway Trains lol, that its best to have them in groups of 2 connected directly side by side with one another located around the map. B) You can connect off those single tracks with the double track tool, the only time you want to use the 1way direction tracks is for the maintenance halls. C) When its time to hook the Subway Routes, hit the underground key first, then you wont need to disable multiple overlays just to be able to see from the other Transportation options. Also make sure you adjust the Vehicle amounts supplied on each transport route because its based on stops and man it can supply too many causing issues. Anytime you see not enough vehicles for transportation, it means more of those Train, Tram, Busses, Subway Cars type yards are required if manually setting route supply limits doesn't fix it etc

[@averagezing]

KERALIS! I love that you take so many of our suggestions into account. You really are the best!

[@michaelgage652]

Omg I’m so addicted to this. Woo hoo another episode!

[@Nachtpyro]

Turning the little island into an old castle ruin would be cool

[@scunekt]

Loving the series so far, hoping this goes on for a long, long time! :) A suggestion; I don't know if it's even a possibility in the game, but the street outside of the main train station feels like it would be better off being fully pedestrianized, maybe only allowing busses/taxis/emergency vehicles at most. Might solve some traffic congestion issues in that area, as the traffic through there might not be necessary, while also allowing for the hoard of zombies-- I mean people --to disperse a bit more?

[@riz5y]

you should also consider disabling parking in industrial zones and offices aswell and have specific parking zones for them you can have a better traffic that way aswell.

[@rayniedayz3824]

Heya Keralis, I think the city needs more housing. I like the idea of thinking about CS2 like real life and thinking about what would happen irl. So like, a district of almost exclusively low cost housing with a welfare building and a police station would solve some of your problems I think. It would also be cool to invest in education. I can imagine your industrial pride and joy could use a technical uni to supply them with skilled workers. I think it being near the industrial zone would make real world sense. Thanks for the content and I hope you feel back at full health soon. Take care of yourself, buddy.

[@froof2330]

Hot chocolate, a blanket and Keralis' videos, best combo ❤❤

[@avlucyszyn179]

[@pfang32]

Love your content K! You are the comedian of the CS player's on YT! Never be afraid of greenery in the industrial area. Not only for asthetics but also for carbon capture and noise mitigation. And it looks like the zombies standing in the parking lot of train station cause they are waiting for cabs and after a while they give up and walk. Keep up the great work from an American GIS professional!

[@Kopa_Malphas]

Industrial zones give a big focus on small green areas. It makes a big difference for the workers. You're not wrong, and having trees along the median or along the sidewalk, and in small park areas is pretty commonplace.

[@hugo414]

It's, I think one of the best CS2 series on YT that I watch really! Just a little remark : The Magenta line (33:47) goes on the green track but on the opposite way... you should put it over the blue one! Also, don't know if you correct it but you're making the blue line at 33:05 to change side of the track

[@bijter]

It's so peaceful here still.

[@christoffer1973]

I enjoy watch your videos Keralis! Great subway. Probably problem whit the back in and out from garage, becase one way subway track. make it uposit... Looks great!

[@Windeycastle]

The city looks amazing with all those roads!

[@PurplezVR]

You should put a light house at the end of the dock in the industrial area and it can guide ships.

[@juusssss]

I could watch you play this game for hours!!

[@fko3143]

One of my favorite skylines channels in my top 3 definetely

[@sanitygone-l9y]

subways are normally built within dense city centres because they have a smaller footprint than rail and can navigate more difficult areas. the stops are usually close together and they are primarily used to move as many people as fast possible throughout a dense city area. trains usually make up a regional rail system and its primary goal is to move people from the suburbs / outer areas of a city into the city centre. the stations are placed further apart and the trains go faster and are bigger with more seating.

[@nieyM]

Loving this series, Keralis! Thank you!

[@jaberahmed5209]

You should put overpass in the busy area instead of zebra crossing. It will help the traffic system a lot.

[@aligalad9907]

You make my pitiful attempt to get a city going look more so - you are an artist. I did think that your main subway station should perhaps been on the same side as train station as then people wouldn’t need to cross road in such huge numbers. But as I said - I don’t have your expertise so welcome explanation as to why it’s your choice not to. I’m living this series Keralis. Amazing.

[@vicenteguerra5440]

i m addicted to this series hope you are doing well!

[@SnyperMK2000JclL]

From watching others play CS2, it looks like for Mail to be efficient and not get backed up is to go absolutely ham on Mail Boxes. Like 1 or 2 on every block depending on road size, so literally scattered ALLLLL over... im guessing the devs made it semi realistic and Mail Boxes near parking lots and random street corners in real life can also act as a strategic drop off point for postal workers so they can drop off an areas mail to be picked up on foot later to finish the route. Which makes sense and fits with the game as the more mail boxes plastered everywhere seems to really improve the mail situation, far more than simoly adding more post offices, sorting facilities or cargo terminals

[@chowwbacca]

Mayor Keralis, you can create some beautiful over pass pedestrian round-a-bouts or square-a-bouts. That will definitely ease the traffic flow at some junctions. (definitely needed at the main subway station/train station in the city)

[@fabiandavor]

I LOVE THIS SERIES! I tried installing the game and it corrupted my startup files so I ended up wasting $300 AUD on something that i'm not risking to install it again lol! this is the best alternative

[@tadhgmurphy8859]

Can't wait for further city and suburban expansion, think more diverse housing and jobs along with more public transport, education and more services, some more parks and maybe the addition of some more special and tourism buildings and a town hall should stop the homelessness and really bring even more life to your city, would also be nice to see the creation of a rural town and farm area too I think

[@magocha]

hi keralis, maybe you can make a reverse loop in subway line, so they dont have to loop to the previous station. and can you add pedestrian bridge so it cant interupt the traffic, or just minimilize the crossing. i love how the series making progress, so relaxing. greeting from asia!

[@FFalcoFalcon]

The best video to finish the day

[@HalNordmann]

You could possibly demolish the small coal power plants - they are shut down at the moment anyway, and if you needed backup power you have the gas power plant in the harbour region

[@RestlessBen]

Love your city, its coming along very nicely. I think with the train station being so busy, you might need to add another train station at the other side of the city. Currently you have everyone from the main city centre using that one station, so if you add another station at the other side of the city centre, it might reduce the foot traffic at that one station. Though I'm not entirely sure how you can nicely do that LOL

[@Keikdv]

have you seen the green arrows on the tracks at 27:46? YOU made it one way. The metro's just listen... The main station has a metro stop INSIDE. So the Sims do not need to cross the roads. But.... no line to the harbour??

[@dusty8789]

to solve some of the crosswalk issues maybe convert some of the high traffic areas (like right outside the train station) to overhead crosswalks! then you can delete the road crosswalks and hopefully traffic can get thru easier.
