Level quickly and Unlock these First To get RICH In Cities Skylines 2

[@ciaran2679]

I don't see the point in cheesing the XP system. Just play with everything unlocked and unlimited money if that's the kind of game you want to play

[@henryfoxreviews]

Idi why youtube deleted my comment but i made a video about how ti do this 12 days ago, and it could be used if you want excess money or you want high level without cheats

[@MaleusMaleficarum]

... because some people want the achievements

You can even level before zoning anything just by trying to build the perfect grid with roads. I was trying to micro manage roadways and hit level 1 before doing anything else. Im sure it took a while, but I dont know how long I was tinkering with the roads. You can hit level 1 just by being meticulous with your roadways.

It's better to spam wind turbines than bulldoze them

[@NomNomBasti]

You can actually delete multiple objects of the same type at once. Just hold the button and hover with the cursor across all coal plants you want to destroy. Works with roads and power lines, too.

[@delfean2666]

i find the best approach for me is just to save the points until i actually have to build something which differs from map to map

[@terrydactyl2077]

Haven’t tried the multiple power plants yet to see if that makes good money or not. But you’re precious vids have gotten me to actually make some money now. It doesn’t fluctuate in the red but before I went bankrupt real quick

[@ciaran2679]

You'll need more than one power line going outside to export more than 400kW, so be careful not to go over that until you can set up extra connections

[@terrydactyl2077]

@@ciaran2679 oh. Right! I have no clue yet how the electricity works properly. Like with those stations that aren’t power plants.

[@Divide21]

I like the idea of spamming stuff for XP to unlock everything instantly but personally I prefer the slower route and grow slowly. My issue at the start is always losing money, but using the geothermal power and exporting them with multiple outside electric connections, I'm now gaining over $1M per month on it.

[@grayone9sargent257]

the key is "multiple outside connections" ??

[@ciaran2679]

You're limited to exporting 400kW per power line. Multiple connections is one way around this.

[@michaelsmart1577]

@@ciaran2679 Appreciate it that worked, thanks!

[@joyl7842]

My city has a population of over 80.000 and I haven't bothered unlocking trains. I just do not see the point as subways seem far more effective. Unless you want the whole importing benefit I guess.

[@paulcarroll473]

Just use small playgrounds (once unlocked) along a long-straight-road, way cheaper for +100xp. Also you can hold the bulldozer down to delete multiple at once

[@TotalXclipse]

That's a great point with the buldozer! But I'm pretty certain it's not cheaper for 100xp Vs the bus stop

[@radiohead16]

you can also wait to build any deathcare or garbage collections to way later in the game as you can live by your outside connections to take care of that. That does not even cost your any outside connecation money. Also there is one thing most people forget about the parking. its a really good thing at milstone 5 small city. to make the district on most of your city. Here you can set the street parking cost. Its makes a ton of money specialy if you set that at max payment.

[@ccekii]

it feels like using a exploit to make money, kind of cheating ://

[@2fat4airborne44]

@@ccekii well you have to balance everything against the citizen happines within youre city. If you have managed to keep everything in order, there is not much of a downside. Still houses wont level up as fast cause every bit of sadness drags it down a bit. Still without money you cant keep up. Same with Taxes...to high and you end up building low density on the whole map to get the same people in as some players can on a few tiles.

[@radiohead16]

Yeah i get your point and i would say it kind of is. but its more like bug exploit. cause in SK1 you had to take care of the deathcare and garbage by the beginning. but here your also resiving a lots of goverment aids to balance your income. i think thats just the way to help you out in the beginning in SL2. Just my thoughts.@@ccekii

[@hjymnol]

​@@radiohead16ye but the economic in cs2 is too broken right now and too hard to balance out income than cs1, i hope they will improve this

[@brokenserenity01]

a great video. thanks for providing us with a few decent beginning options.

[@C17H23NO2]

I put down my first Hospital at 12k population and it's actually enough to cover the entire city ( which is not particularly small ). And the effect was also greater than having many clinics around the place. The Garbage incinerator was probably the worst choice, it's not needed at all at 12k population, same for the mail sorting facility. Last one doesn't seem to do anything at that city size. Maybe post is still bugged same as exports. ( Really sad that main features of the game aren't working properly )

[@MikaMikaMika89]

I never built ANY garbage buildings. The cost/fee remains at 0 and there are NO garbage issues AT ALL. I'm told that not building it means they export it for a cost but.... it just... costs nothing, just never build any garbage buildings. It must be a bug.

[@C17H23NO2]

Yea, sadly the garbage system is one of the many main features of the game that is bugged. The trash system is working different for many people. I built one landfill and it's doing fine for the now 14k population city i have. Have more problems with certain demand, and houses getting abandoned and stuff like this. But hey. At least I am making money lol.

[@cieramist1]

@@MikaMikaMika89 I've been doing the same thing. I just skip over the garbage since it's exported out, and it gives one less thing to pay for since I never seem to have any issues with it anyways.

[@timturner4856]

Oh sweet! I was looking at schools and Power plants for the best ratios, but you beat me to it! Thanks Man! Also, out the word out, as it is currently, if you drag a rail line, power line, highway, and/or water/sewer lines to the edge of the map (tiles must be bought) it will create new Outside Connections! Have not checked the Air and Water ways, nor have I checked maps that dont have all of the outside connections listed. But yeah, just an fyi to all

[@lesliemitchell4037]

Did a version of this. Approaching 90k and after getting rid of excess power, excess services and -5 in high taxes im still -8mil a month. This is for those who want to retain "achievements" while having the most options available. Also, wemod allows you to set your money, which is almost required when running a negative monthly balance of 10 million hahaha

[@Kcii-99]

there quite a few things i dont understand, like why the hospital per person is way worse than building health centres, same for police and fire

[@TotalXclipse]

Because they're so big, that it makes it unaffordable sub 10k + pop

[@01dixieforever01]

I’m waiting for the workshop before playing again. I can’t with the current AI or not having pre made decent road systems.

[@TotalXclipse]

Which approach will you take to your development points tree unlocks? Cash or infrastructure first?

[@ivobrick7401]

None of that. Education is my top priority. Because my city is exporting non material goods like financial services, software, computer parts, lawyer services, etc.

[@grayone9sargent257]

Using education hasn't worked for me yet, but I'm willing to try again ;D

[@Ivan_Goldman]

Hello there. Just watched a couple of your videos and I'm just wondering of why do you ignore the hydroelectric power plant which basically allows you to maintain it with only 100k upkeep monthly and allows you to produce 2k+ of MW of the energy which can go for an export giving you something like 100k per hour?

[@TotalXclipse]

I just haven't used it and worked out how to use it properly yet :)

[@Ivan_Goldman]

@@TotalXclipse I got you. Anyway, that is a good alternative and it would be cool if you could use that as well as the tourism buildings. With the tourism ones you can have approximately $8 millions per month or per hour without having a single citizen

[@Ivan_Goldman]

@@TotalXclipse Could you try that one in one of your series? It would be cool to see it on your channel

[@grayone9sargent257]

I've done the finance several times and it works great for me until after I place the geothermal plant ... then it goes downhill faster than jack and jill

[@TotalXclipse]

Really? You need to really focus college education but after you have the flow of workers you can just add extra power plants and upgrade them, you should be fine.

[@grenninexile]

At 9:49, where did that cathedral on the right next to the cemetery come from??

[@joyl7842]

As I don't own a car I didn't even consider parking areas as a way to make money! doh!

[@plskenpls]

I started cities skylines 2 and was really enjoying myself. When I heard the economy is just a faced and there is like a way to earn money fast... I dunno, really wanted a real simulation and the fact that it's fake really turned me off. Tried picking it up again, but can't shake the feeling that it's just not real...

[@cieramist1]

I'm not so sure about that, because if you think about it, as in REAL LIFE, our governments buy and sell our resources and then us...the tax payers, pay the price on their good decisions, or bad ideas. Like Oil, for instance. Our gasoline prices were WAY LOWER when the U.S. was extracting and using our OWN OIL here on U.S. soil, but then when Biden came in, and shut down our oil production lines, and started buying our oil from outside resources, our gasoline prices went way up, causing a chain reaction in HIGHER FOOD prices, clothing, shoes, etc.

[@Caldwing]

Focusing on making profit early is entirely pointless unless you are just doing it for a challenge or something. You would have to be so wasteful to need anything beyond the milestone money.

[@fatjaysgarage]

The economy feels fake in this game, was able to export 1m electricity with a net profit of over 300k covering water and sewage expenses.... Then budget still sstayed the same slightly in the green

[@stighelmer1265]

Imagine playing this game normally.

[@TotalXclipse]

What counts as normal?

[@Somefolks52]

nah this video mostly about how to level up early game, i need to know how to manage the money

[@henryfoxreviews]

I made a youtube short about spamming 12 days ago

[@yaroslavchurinov2522]

What is the point in exploiting the development point system by spamming services, when you can just hit "Unlock all" and keep building ugly unrealistic cities spending even less effort?

[@TotalXclipse]

Some people don't want to have everything unlocked, but want the option to start with a few things?
