Hello city planner

[@ElDimitrius]

Well deserved shoutout!

[@YouWillBeOffended]

@Xucaboa is the king of vanilla and someone that I consider a mentor and friend. I wouldn’t be making the cities I am without his inspiration and advice. This is a well deserved shout out.

[@ElDimitrius]

@@YouWillBeOffended nice words man 👍🏻

[@rachelcloues7613]

The beeches you made are a little steep. I think if you could just use the slope terrain tool from the water to the road they would look much more realistic. Also, kids play in the sand, not just in the water, so you should have some of the "hang-out-zones" on the sand not in the water.

[@darrenwatkins7356]

Hope he sees this

[@KeepitClassical]

Agreed.

[@cryptfeller]

Stopped by to suggest a similar thing! I wonder how it would have looked if the beach was left intact but the parks were placed further out to use the original slope, perhaps with a loop road to get down to the fronts of the park areas? Great video though, making custom assets is pretty interesting!

[@JamesBeaucoup]

Yeah exactly! And like, chairs being so close to the water isn't realistic on an ocean facing beach with larger waves like this one, i think just having the swim area sloped up would fix both issues like you suggest

[@royvandermarel3953]

You beat me to it. I'd suggest a switchback road a couple of meters lower than the main road. The height difference would work as a sea barrier during high tides and/or storms

[@Xucaboa]

WOW thanks for the shout, Phil! This lake project is awesome, I'm SUPER happy you didn't use mods to make it!

[@diamdante]

Let's gooooooooooooo xucaboa

First - excellent video! Love your approach to the game and your play style! And Joy tipped me off to the video and now I've been sucked in! Great job with 100% Vanilla Baby!

[@Xucaboa]

As this series continues on, the original Verde Beach Palm, once growing and thriving all over the region, is slowly being replaced by new introduced flora. Will someone stand up and protect this threatened species?

[@MusicalInquisit]

Imagine it as an invasive species thanks to the introduction of the airport and it all starts to become even sadder.

[@greentree1516]

You could use a small lookout tower from the nature preserve assets as a lifeguard tower

[@CityPlannerPlays]

Good idea!

[@jacobwong2230]

Great planning ;)

[@saurabhbagai5982]

Overcharged egg used a lookout tower that was a nice add. It looked like a lifeguard tower

[@zionosphere]

I was definitely thinking either this or a fire tower to help Verde Beach.

[@dmore]

The toilets building could double for a Lifeguard station too, where maybe people get taken if they have minor injuries etc.

[@vriskaserket8137]

Beaches are a bit steep as others have mentioned. I know the issue is you want to connect it to the road without messing with the height of the existing road. A solution could be to use a pedestrian road that parallels the road to allow you to set the road at a lower point to make it a bit more gradual when going from road => water.

[@Xiyng]

I was thinking about a frontage road, but a pedestrian street would actually be perfect for that.

[@akashsarkar2001-r5k]

What I love about VB is that it doesn't look like any other city. VB has it's own unique identity

[@foamyesque]

Couple of thoughts: 1. For the beaches, you might have been able to avoid sloping them so severely by creating a pedestrian area and putting a pedestrian road across it part way down to dock the new assets to. 2. For jumping power in a Parklife park I really like some of the Nature Reserve assets, which require no power but can jump it. The viewing platforms, piers, and viewing towers in particular can slot in pretty well almost anywhere, and both contribute mechanically to the park and *look* much nicer than the earthquake sensors.

[@RB-zf2ji]

For the resort beach, it might be worth creating a little bay for the swimmers instead of having them take a dip right in the river's pretty strong main current. A small spit of land where the shoreline used to be, to shield them from the current, would probably be already enough to still the waters somewhat. 😊 Great build overall though. Loving all of the additions! ❤

[@AaronL0905]

Hey Phil i think the beach assets could absolutely do with a couple less "hang around" markers in just the water, maybe spreading them along the sand would look rather cool and a bit more realistically populated

[@_iEpic]

Just want to say thanks for the videos CPP! You've gotten me to play CS again, while relaxing and making my own story instead of building to get more population. It's much more enjoyable!

[@mrburpler]

The beach looks great! I’d probably work to get the beach asset closer to the shore line (would also be a great way to add more parking to the beach), rather than adjusting the shoreline so much. But seriously, great job with the beach!

[@sean-sinclair]

I agree

[@ricker024]

Really hoping that CS2 will be incorporating actual coastal tourism into the base package with actual beachgoers and tourist cims and animations to accompany it.

[@Jimmmmmmmm94]

It's amazing to see what you can achieve with just the vanilla game! Verde Beach is by far my favorite CS build

[@scartha4040]

Wow this is the 1st time I have understood how to make a assets in cs1. Thankyou for making it interesting. And how you develop all of your cities. And being able to laugh at yourself when you look at your old cities. 29:51

[@throwawayclipchannel]

Hi there! First and foremost, the beaches look absolutely incredible. The only thing I would suggest is adding jetties here and there. They're super important for preventing erosion, and add some variety to otherwise unbroken shorelines.

[@KarnizArchada]

As a newer Cities player watching your vid taught me how to make assets and I can't wait to lose even more of my life doing that. LOVE your series! Verde Beach is so beautiful!

[@squifftopher]

That wiggly pathway hurts so much... the desire paths would be out of this world 💀

[@SeanMather]

🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️ Could Verde Beach be the next location that Formula 1 visits? A racetrack build in honour of the Miami Grand Prix this weekend? Would be pretty interesting to see in vanilla. I have no idea how you would do that, but it would be cool! Really enjoyed this episode, I would have brought a road closer to the water though to better respect the topography but seeing how these two spots were created was pretty awesome.

[@PockyFiend]

I'm still surprised that there's no motorsports tracks in this game, not even a half-mile or full-mile dirt or asphalt oval track or eighth-mile or quarter-mile dragstrip.

[@MordechaiKarp]

Please don't

[@t3po3]

Seattle has Green Lake as their man made water feature…wonderful place to go for a walk, ride a bike, some fishing. It used to have the aqua theater and limited Hydro racing back in the day. And sits by Woodland Park zoo and community baseball fields. Wonderful gathering space.

[@BenAnderson48]

Every week we are treated around here! I can't even choose between VB and Clearwater County because they're both excellent in their own way. I love how huge Verde Beach is, the tropical nature, I love seeing BEACHES finally in Verde Beach, and the different planning decisions are amazing. Clearwater County is also amazing because it feels like a window into the real world, with the control level you'd expect IRL and some very unique builds that aren't possible in VB (not only because of mods- the little suburb you made last CWC episode doesn't fit terribly well in VB but just feels like a natural expansion of CWC). I use KZbin for a lot of different purposes but your channel is one things that always keeps me coming back and engaged!

[@jasonlescalleet5611]

Wow. I genuinely didn’t know you could create custom assets in vanilla. Possibly because I have 81 tiles turned on. That is really cool! At first I wasn’t too keen on the steep beaches, but then I remembered I used to live in San Clemente, CA and the beaches there are like this. A high, dry area with loose sand, a short but steep slope, and a low, flat area with wet sand that is easy to walk on. The only differences are that the beaches there are much narrower than these ones, and that in real life there is no engine limitation that makes rocks pop out when the slope gets too steep.

[@itsanthony1980]

Absolutely genius builds Phil. Really really like what they add to Verde Beach. They fill the macro lense nicely if not looking too close, but also add a tonne of detail up close. Great work.

[@dragon_nammi]

This beach episode is EXACTLY what I needed, my beach cities always looked off and I never knew how to fix this!

[@emilocanaberg7272]

For the llifeguard booth, I would suggest one of the nature reserve lookout towers. Overcharged Egg used it in one of his videos for a beachbuild, too.

[@casperhito]

I remember the first time I took my daughter fishing. Made her hold the fish for the proud dad pic. She bawling, saying it's slimy. I'm laughing. It's a hilarious picture. Take the little one fishing. You'll both have a good time. 😂

[@martinbowman4761]

You are starting to get really good at this. I've watch from ep1 and enjoyed you learning the game, but know you are moving on to a new level. Top marks mate.

[@LeCoqMelodique]

Really enjoyed this episode and very realistic because in my home town our main park system was built to house a couple of basins that serve as "water collectors" for the rainning water, thus avoiding major flooding in the town areas. Water is pumped to the park basins where it is then used to water the park plants and for wildlife use.

[@jmcdonald.1998]

I think your waterfronts could really benefit from having a fronting road at a slightly lower height, so a) your coastline doesn’t get pulled in so much and b) so your beaches aren’t as steep

[@burmanphd]

I love it when this notification pops up

[@Eye_sky_high]

me too

[@paytonpryor]

Phil thank you so much for adding the lake. I didn't realize it would be so difficult. It looks amazing! Thanks for hearing me out about the lake.

[@haickibaicki]

Finally! The first VerdeBeach Episode i'm able to watch on the uploadday Just caught up with VerdeBeach and Clearwater. I love both cities so much! Keep up the awesome work!

[@danwallis1984]

Hey those beaches are a great idea, I've never thought of what to do with those beach areas to make them look usable. I would say that you could probably have added a couple of hangouts further up the beach instead of having everyone in the water, let the people sunbathe a bit. That said, they do look great.

[@JohnvanderLaan]

Great video! again :) Maybe a campfire on the beach. Would look great at night and is a reason for people to be there at night.

[@BrunoMussoi]

If you use park zones you can place assets more freely. So instead of pulling the water to the assets (bad results, sad topography) you could push the assets to the water.

[@bv933738]

Excellent timing. I have been struggling to do a beach. I really appreciate you sharing the assets you made. :) Also, these have been my favorite videos lately. They are so relaxing.

[@unclemikeyplays]

I started using 81Tiles before I started thinking I might want to make assets...so I just never have, which means this is the first time I've actually seen the tools! Awesome!

[@spacerips172]

Loved it! Besides the steepness others mentioned, I actually liked how the water receded at times. It looked much like how tides work in real life.

[@owenbowden4420]

Miami has an elevated metro. Maybe you should try that? I brought it up a while ago and I think it would be a great addition to the city. Also, Miami/South Florida has a booming rap scene. You should try to have a storyline with an up and coming local rapper. Love the vids, keep it up Phil.

[@MegaBearsFan]

A few things that I think are missing from your beaches: 1.) In addition to the concessions, you should have restroom facilities. Maybe the park restroom from Parklife city parks? Or an outhouse/porta-potty from the nature preserve park? 2.) Is there any way to get some lifeguard towers in there? Maybe a Firewatch tower would be a reasonable substitute? 3.) Perhaps you could create a beach asset that has a volleyball net, so citizens could do a little beach volleyball? 4.) Are there any surfboard assets that you could add? Either standing up in the sand or floating in the water? There's also a couple of floating kayak models in the nature preserve park assets (thought they don't have any people in them).

[@frenchfriar]

I definitely think it would have been better to place a road furyher out on the beach, maybe a gravel road, and place those beach assets lower down on the beach, than to terraform the beach so steeply just to have them meet your road. RESPECT the topography! The steep sandy beaches just look off to me now. Still a fantastic idea, and I love the assets, it's just that they feel forced in instead of fitting to the waterline. Besides, Verde Beach just lost a LOT of coastline, that can't be good. Love the monorail/tram solution, and the lake in the park is absolutely beautiful. Over all, fantastic work, Phil. I do love how busy the beaches look.

[@chrisfriendyour]

i really enjoyed the video man as it gave me plenty of ideas but i'd like to recommend a series. i would really like to see a series where you work on population as much as you can, like a goal to lets say a million population with realistic population mod. that'd be really interesting to see how far it would go. anyways, keep going with it man!

[@tg6301]

For the peer transport hub, try the hub without monorail and put a monorail station right outside the big hub building. So at least you still have everything in the same location. At least til the hub station is fixed. Was great to see the lake and an intro into the editor tool. 👍😁

[@AlucardWorf]

Just watched the video. That last section of beach you put in near the river, it needs a break wall or something to cut the strength of the current down drastically. There would be massive RIP currents there as you can clearly see the water rushing through the swim area. Swim smart. Swim safe. Also lookout towers from the Nature Preserve (the shorter ones) could double as Life Guard Huts. Maybe see if they or maybe the Fishing Pier hits are in the buildings section in the assets in Creative (not up to par on terms. Lol) and add them? Also a "boardwalk" added on it with an elevated Nature Preserve path might be cool too. Lastly (sorry to be lengthy) that water outlet. Some backstory to explain it in mythos could either be an underwater tomb for a water enthusiast who also loved parks and was so beloved by the town they fulfilled the final wish with the creation of the lake. I dunno. Just a thought. People have had some unique burial wishes. This one is not too far fetched. Call her Aqua-Marie and name the lake in "her" honor as well. Keep up the great work. You should add these beaches to your "Revisited City" series too.

[@Pnaliza]

My fave build on all of KZbin is back. This has made my day tbh. Thank you sir x

[@CityPlannerPlays]

[@yikes8932]

38:10 Any other Aussies (or avid beach goers but I haven't heard any other country bang on about this as much as we do) looking at that second beach going oooo the rips/currents are going to be dangerous 😅 Great build as always, Phil! Realistically I know there's probably enough shelter from the stronger currents in that spot but the water physics looked too funny not to make a joke! 😂

Great stuff. I love the lake project. The fully dressed people rushing to stand in or below the water isn't my cup of tea, but full score for being Inventive!

[@neurofiedyamato8763]

The beach close to the water is a bit steep. I think you can slope the edge of the asset a bit more, with the water a bit shallower and going deeper to head height further out instead of a flat shoulder/waist height.

[@albertoacevedo9641]

Absolutely pleased and satisfied that you went the vanilla route for the lake with the water pump and outlet. The beach looks awesome and needed that little extra action. 🤠

40:00 C'mon Phil. That's so steep, that someone could hike that shoreline! You know you can do better than that eh?! Nevertheless, your idea to build a custom asset to bring life to beaches, is just clever and I just have to tip my hat to you

[@ryanalice5439]

I always loved fire pits on the beach. Could be a cool prop to add. Great video as always!

[@seanellis3725]

Phil pulled a quick one on us, thought Verde Beach was about to get workshop assets. Props to keeping it vanilla

[@EternalGamingNet]

Great video, loved the asset creation. Very cool!

[@JoJoJet100]

Love this idea! It looks so much more lively. I think that the slopes are a bit steep on some of the beaches though. I think it would look better if the beach itself was more or less level, with a cliff or quay separating the sand from the road level. As someone who lives in a tropical area similar to Verde Beach, a decent number of beaches look like this so it wouldn't be out of place.

[@Sam-es2gf]

The lake looks fantastic and I'll definitely be using that style of build in my vanilla game but I'm not a fan of the beach. Okay, you can do a little something about the steepness/slopes, but you can't change the clothed sims in the water or the asset being straight, so it'll never "fit" the outline of the shore. I preferred it before, it's just impossible to make a functioning beach in vanilla. The only things I can think of to suggest to help is to offset the beach from the road (with a frontage road/parking, etc) a bit to help with the slopes, then put the "gather" points near the sea, but not in it.

[@JL1]

Been waiting for a beach upgrade!

[@WilliamMCMXII]

I love this series, vanilla gameplay has such a different charm to it!

[@SaganJumJum]

To make the beach less steep. Maybe put a quay wall along the road and have some parts with steps sown to the beach. Can save you 1-4 meters

[@intcombusteng]

Great lake solution , nice asset creation .I've been procrastinating creating a few different kinds of assets ,beach front was one of them. 😀

[@Rengray2]

Love the lake! It seems like a great place for a walk, and will probably turn out to be a good source of water for the local firefighters. 😆 It's baffling that there isn't an vanilla option for underground power lines. The power companies in our State have been working to move utilities underground for several years now, and many municipalities require it for new development.

[@harvenkarr]

The lake looks great! For realism there is a safety concern - I noticed you have a kid's playground very close to the the pump. You might want to relocate that or at least put a fence around the narrow entry to the pump area.

[@SevTST]

Nice work! Functional beaches are definitely a must in our favorite tropical getaway! 🏖

[@astrognash.]

Great addition! And makes me think that sometime later this month a few brand new beach hotels might be in order 👀

[@sachinpatel5447]

Love the lake far away from the coast makes the build feel more 'tropical' and less 'arid'. Not that it was very arid to begin with :)

[@LMoVO]

Could it be worth giving the beaches a quick once over with the slope terrain tool? Might just be me obsessing but those beaches would look even nicer if that tiny bit of scarring from where the contours are bunched up disappeared! 🍌 for engagement!

[@jadP3]

It would be neat to see a breakwater upstream from the second beach you created. Those currents would sweep Phillip away!

[@vyznev]

At 37:10, it looks like it might've made more sense to build a new road closer to the original waterfront, and find something else to build between that and the existing road. You'd still probably want to flatten the slope at the edge of the water a bit, but at least the topography would look more like a natural beach instead of an old sand mine.

[@RryhhbfrHhgdHhgd356]

37:53 Also ensuring that the resort would think that was worth it, they are *excavating* sand, not filling it. That much sand is money, or very necessary fill for more eroded sections of their beach. Win-win for them.

1. Major League Baseball has just announced the 6 teams selected for their latest expansion: National League East: New Jersey Demons, playing in one of the Meadowlands stadiums. National League Central: Indiana Hoosiers, based in Indianapolis. National League West: Verde Beach, owned by a partnership between Sterling Development, Lewis Lumber, and the Hamilton family. The team name, as well as where exactly in Verde Beach the ballpark will be located will be up to Phil and comment section. American League East: Carolina Kitty Hawks, based in Charlotte. American League Central: Superior Yoopers, based in Van Buren. See #2. American League West: Jefferson Pioneers, based in Modesto. 2. The Superior Yoopers is another partnership between Frank "The Tank" Battaglia's Superior Team Management (who will be the managing partner) and Johnson Aggregates. The team colors will be the same as the Superior state flag; dark blue, dark green and white. The mascot and team logo will be that of a big, beefy batter swinging a tree, hitting a baseball, with a four-pointed star (like the state flag) where the tree hits the ball. The Yoopers will play in the new Johnson Aggregates Center, along with the stadium that houses the Superior Coyotes (formerly the Arizona Coyotes) and Superior Timberwolves (formerly the Minnesota Timberwolves). Superior State University's Buccaneer Stadium hosts the NFL's Superior Jaguars (formerly the Jacksonville Jaguars). (Note: the comments section can pick the name of the Verde Beach team, and the name of the Yoopers' Nicolet Bay minor league team, but the name for Superior's team will be the Yoopers.). 3. Superior Yoopers Co-owner and managing partner Frank "The Tank" Battaglia has just picked the locations for their minor league teams, all owned and operated by Superior Team Management: Triple A: Duluth Superiors, International League. Double A: Bethlehem (PA) Ironmen, Eastern League. High A: See #4, Midwest League. Single A: Jacksonville (FL) Superiors, Florida State League, playing out of their spring training facilities. Rookie: DSL Yoopers, Dominican Summer League, FSL Yoopers, Florida Complex League, also playing out of the Yoopers' spring training complex in Jacksonville. 4. In a private dining room at the Bluebird supper club in Evergreen, Nicolet Bay's movers and shakers have gathered to discuss the plans for Nicolet Junction, the proposed casino/hotel/convention center/lifestyle center at the intersection of I-75 and I-98. Ojibwa tribal president and Couillard mayor Tim Keqoum, Tim's younger brother and Ojibwa Foods president Jim Keqoum, Chippewa Lumber CEO and Evergreen and Marquette Island co-developer Ben Begay, Ben's wife and Evergreen Mayor Kara Begay, Sam and Laura Adams, Bluebird owners and Evergreen developers, Homebuilder, Evergreen developer and Marquette Island co-developer Russ Kowalski were joined by Russ' high school friend, former catcher for the Milwaukee Brewers and Minnesota Twins, and owner of Superior Team Management Frank Battaglia. Frank offered to build the ballpark for the Superior Yoopers' High A Midwest League minor league baseball team either in or next to Nicolet Junction, as well as opening a Yoopers apparel/sports memorabilia store, sports bar and Battaglia's supper club/Italian restaurant in Nicolet Junction. 5. When Terry Brown saw the announcement that the Yoopers were opening a minor league team in Nicolet Junction, he knew it would be the start of a rivalry, because through his connections with the owner of the Detroit Tigers, he was going to move the West Michigan Whitecaps, the Tigers' High A Midwest League minor league baseball team to move to his city on the Michigan side of the I-75 bridge.

[@showertiles]

I love the new beach, it has so much life! Lots of coastal communities with popular beaches, like Panama City Beach, and Duluth, and are recognizing the importance of sand dunes in protecting the waterfront from erosion. What if that second beach area was converted to a dune restoration zone? Some dunes are vegetated with grasses. I think that an environmentally minded organization in Verde Beach would be very interested in restoring dunes to the shoreline. Dunes are as common on coastlines as they are in the desert!

Hey Phil, nice build, the park looks beautiful! 👏👏👏👏👍👍 When you said you were going to add some piers, I got excited thinking, _Oh boy we're going to have some swan boats!_ But all we have are fishing and overlook piers! 😫 So can we have some swan boats like in Boston's Public Garden, pretty please? 🙏😌 And since there's a cougar in the park, may I suggest the divided 2-lane avenue through the park be named Mellencamp Drive, after John Cougar Mellencamp? Thanks. 🙂

[@BradyMcCray]

I've been on some pretty steep beaches before, but you could sled down the beaches in VB! I'm not sure how you level it off, perhaps a frontage road that you could drop down a bit and get your assets closer to the natural waterline.

[@BJP88]

A half W still makes a V. Wich stands for Victory 🔥 Also what I would love to see, maybe not in this map. Is something like the Dunes in the Netherlands. For example Egmond aan Zee. Where the boulevard is very much higher then the beach. With Dunes in between. Or the Schoorlse Duinen, wich is a nature reserve. With Dunes, pine forests, shallow water grassland for birds and Polder landscape with farms , grassland(with cows and scheep) and Tulip and other flower fields . As well with some small villages.

[@rorythered1936]

This episode highlights one of my few gripes with Cities Skylines - the terrain height differences between buildable land and naturally occurring bodies of water is comically large. You also see some very steep drops to water in most cases. Makes piers, and docks look pretty unrealistic without quite a bit of terraforming. Hopefully something they can address in CS2! 😄

[@Lintary]

Really happy to see the lake, it completed the park.

[@GraysonBWest]

Lifeguard stand could be the firetower. Beach w/chairs 2 should be a song title Also, embrace the water level changes on the beach, like having tides.

[@keiraussher]

I'm way too late to comment on this one, but thought I'd add my two cents. My experience at the beach is that most people are in the shallows, very close to shore, then a good chunk are a little further out, and very few brave folks are way out in the water. I think you should only have a couple of the hangout spots at the furthest point, And the closer you get to the road the more hangout spots there are.

[@ricearoni5975]

"1/2 the time its perfect, 1/2 the time its not" You just perfectly described tides!

[@CreatorOfWorlds]

Great and inspirational video. For the beach, have you considered using some low density commercial zone with the tourism specialization. According to the description of the after dark dlc, when this zoned commercial area is close to the shoreline, then it will create commercial buildings that are ‘beacy’. I will try this myself as soon as possible.

[@Rem-Union]

I have always been afraid of the Asset creation tools, so I appreciate the tutorial. I knew nothing about it so I love that you showed it. 🥳

[@spac3n1nja]

Those steep beaches are killing me!

[@justinsinke2088]

Looking at the elevation lines, it seems more like a sand dune than a beach if each line is supposed to be a meter of elevation. They're quite steep.
