Creating REALISTIC Countryside In Cities Skylines 2!

[@somebodyhelpthem9045]

I've been going through a lot lately. And I don't know why but whenever I see your videos it just makes me calm and make me forget everything. Your soothing voice and a bit of humour makes my day. Don't stop making videos. Keep going. God bless you ❤❤.

"ho well... It's natural selection I suppose." You killed me here ! Nice episode (as always)

[@JeffereyBerger87]

We watched Timothy take his last steps 😢

[@AntneeUK]

Talking about Lake District villages and hamlets makes me think of the trip from the M6 J36 down the A590/591. All those just off to one side, cut through Ings, out to Windermere, Troutbeck Bridge, and off to Ambleside. Definitely a fan of that aesthetic 👌

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

100%! Actually drove down there today 😂 we can recreate ings I reckon!

[@AntneeUK]

@@OVERCHARGEDEGG Ings amuses me every time I go through. It's just... _there_ 😁 I'd love to know the history of the place

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

@@AntneeUK there's an old watermill there, livestock farm too 😌

[@AntneeUK]

@@OVERCHARGEDEGG TIL. Thank you 👍

[@shanekirk3724]

We need speed cameras and 40mph limits to replicate ings! I got real A66 Penrith to Keswick vibes with the dual carriageway crossings. Need some slow tractors for the cims to get stuck behind!

[@streit23]

I´d love to keep that small industry next to the city! I kinda gives some old school harbor, traiding and prodcution vibes - like this used to be the old port and they expanded it on the other side of the river after it was no longer big enough

[@tigonologdring9189]

I'd really like a version of that "lane" that had national speed limit and no lights but still with zoning (otherwise it'd just be the "national" road). Currently building on the same map for my first city... got some interesting challenges with the terrain in places. Railways take a fair bit of use of the terrain tools! Suggested name for any settlement you build near the mouth of one of the rivers, just to keep the Scottish theme: Inveregg... Oh, and props for building the M8/M9 junction just outside Edinburgh... nice.

[@Panzer_Runner]

0:24 Ross Hicks broke up with someone Steve Goodwin met special someone Coincidence? I think NOT!

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

Absolute drama!

[@thargoff]

So nice! It is funny how having Cities Skylines content is just kind of part of this channel, while it is actually so new and special and we waited so much for it. It is a testament to your ability, OE!

[@BakedZiTi77]

Great build today OE! I hope i can get CS2 working on my computer to get a good try of it. Really big fan of that new interchange and the view from 6:45 is amazing. For the old industry that might be a great spot to put the college- it reminds me of a college down in south jersey with the landscape and views. Keep it rocking 🤙

[@havasimark]

Pretty. And you're quite fluent with the tools. The interchange is a tad oversized though, isn't it? Nice to see someone going for smaller lot sizes - these could also help not only with aesthetics but the rent too high issues most likely.

[@colliefields4637]

I have to agree with you on the farms. With the exception of the buildings popping up in the fields, it's a fantastic addition to the game. Loads better than CS1! And the Lake District? absolutely gorgeous place to visit.

[@irrationalsense]

Great video! Ngl, one of my favorite bits was the check-in with the Patreon Egginburghers. It's like catching up on our favorite Scottish soap characters, lol.

[@stephenreardon2698]

Some quick ideas 1. New use for the industrial area, when it moves across the river. Turn the land into the college. Its riverside setting would suit the aesthetic of college campus, and may suffer less from any residual pollution than if it were turned over to residential. 2. Place a small fire station in Caleb. It looks like a church, so would not look out of place on the village green. It would also prove useful as you place more forestry and rural industry in the area. 3. If you haven't already done so off camera please replace the pedestrian footbridge you removed to install the highway access in the town centre. Really liking the design you are doing here.🥕🥕🥕

[@brinedpickle]

Love the rural stuff. I def feel CS2 makes it much easier than CS1 ever did especially w/traffic and things of that nature. Loving this city so much already. Can't wait to see it covered in snow :)

[@jstokes]

One of my favorite series of books is called All Creatures Great and Small, and this reminds me of that landscape, with the meandering roads with farms and hamlets.I love it.

[@SlamminCameron]

The city looks great! The giant crane animations for your country hamlets is hilarious lol

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

Big construction projects lol 😆 thank you!

[@GeorgeCawhern]

Boy do I miss you on CS 1 I so enjoy watching you create.

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

We'll be back in CS1 tomorrow with Thessia :)

[@xsparklefaerie]

"oh well, that's natural selection i suppose" :D :D :D that killed me. really enjoying this build so far, thanks! getting lots of inspo for my own game. :)

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

Glad to hear 😊! Thank you 🙏

[@Liquid_Haze]

Great series thus far! I just started playing Cities...haven't played a city build game since simcity lol so a bit of a learning curve on how everything works and functions! Probably got around 30ish hours in since playing this game, never knew it even existed until coming across a live on tiktok 😂

[@boznia456]

Lovely, like seeing the use of the merging lanes on the highways and round abouts, such a cool new feature

[@simons1120]

Personally, I use two-way highway roads for my country roads. Here in Germany at least, the standard speed limit on country roads is 100km/h. Sometimes limited to 80 or 70km/h. So I think the highway roads are appropiate.

[@riffzifnab9254]

I worry about basic services for small villages. All the public service buildings are massive and expensive. Map looks good so far. (:

[@Paul-kd3ui]

Small villagers just WANT the gub-ment to. " JUST LEAVE THEM ALONE!!"

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

Thank you! Maybe we can assign some services with the districts next episode! 👮

[@Ebalosus]

That, and they’re hella expensive as well.

[@_ikako_]

i think along the waterfont, a park along the banks with some apartment blocks behind them on the lower level would look fantastic, you do see a lot of apartment buildings along canals and such in the uk so i think it would fit nicely

[@carriegarrisonvos4433]

I say it every time, but I love the small villages or hamlets! They are so cozy and lovely 😍Very nice build!!

Enjoying the new build! The road tools look amazing, I’m a console pleb so this is a vibe right now especially. Watched your IGN sponsored ad at the beginning, you are moving up in the World Egg !

[@ClaretHorace]

Great build as always, I'm hopeful for hedge fencing soon and a mod that will allow people to build "dummy fields" allowing you to make rural builds look even better.

[@jaxxfunkable]

19:06 Did you really just say the words "Erotic farm fields" ? I don't think I've ever heard that combination of words in my life 😂

[@ben0329]

The frost on the ground looks very cool (shame some of the other snow mechanics aren’t as good). Just loving the massive farms! It looks like you missed one turning direction on the original violet junction (the one you upgraded to highway roads)

[@adept5500]

Great looking farmland

[@JohanOnTheRadio]

For the highway it would be interesting to build an area kinda like a pit stop. I didn't know the name in English but in Malaysia we called it 'RnR'

[@mpcamposz]

Happy new week, EGG! Do you plan on using the developer's UI to throw in some props and surface painting in Egginburgh?

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

I do not, it is known to brake saves and isn't part of the vanilla experience. I do however wish we had that stuff built into the game 😅

[@dj-ajfraser8319]

Really Great Video! Given the name of the area you have chosen it after from good old Scotland it needs a Castle up on high looking over the landscape. 😁

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

I'm definitely eyeing that up you know!!

[@MIG106]

This is exactly where I'm at in my build so this is great inspiration. Good stuff OE!

[@sarahducky86]

Naww, thanks for the cim! Basic, entry level, buggy Cities 2 (with no assets for detailing) looks much better than middling when you're at the helm. With a bit of time I'm sure you'll make it awesome, and we'll all enjoy the ride.

[@meister-xr3oh]

33:04 my dad on his way to school.

[@leftcoastfunk]

Looks amazing Egg, as always! I can only hope someday I'll be able to build cities as nice (and functional) as you and other favorite creators. As long as you keep putting these out, I'll certainly keep watching them! Thank you!

[@MilkFearless]

Does CS2 have the feature where you can go down into your city as a cim like in the first game? One of my favorite things to do in the endgame was to walk from one side of my city to the other and watch everything happen around me.

[@SnowPeaGames]

Not yet, probably eventually. It wasn't added to CS1 until much later either.

[@jonathangobillot7146]

“That’s just natural selection I suppose” that had me rolling 😂😂

[@adrianobaldacci6006]

Love the country side stuff man. Especially the use of the tree brush to outline fields. I saw Silvarret do it for his St Luke build, but it looked way more tedious that this.

[@dr.fabrizioprado1361]

I remember in NoobYolk when you build a railway running through the corn fields, it would be nice to replicate that in CS2. Thanks!

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

That would be cool! Looking forward to getting some trains in 😍

[@dummyxl]

is there a way i can use 2 keyboard keys for lowering or higher roads when dragging them? i don't like the optional mouse drag option, i accidentally use that one to mutch. also the junction at 19:50 needs a no right sign on it. and only straight on for the smaller road.

[@Vyborgclark]

I really like your detailing sections.

[@edgeman04]

The roads are seriously insane. I've made some seriously crazy interchanges its so much fun. I spend too much time on it.

[@endlessroadie3131]

Regarding the industry along the coastline.. let's replace that with a small ring road kind of road along the peninsula on another lower layer and have some mixed use between the two? Maybe replace it with leisure/tourism specializations once and if that mechanic returns to the game!

[@yungbxiiiwavey2125]

Build the college by the old industrial area…the college will have heritage/history based on the old industrial areas

[@Spaghettinoodle1-zs7xb]

Got you as an advert in the middle of the video and I confused me as I thought the video was still playing 😆

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

Haha lol, yeah ign asked me to do an ad for them lol 😆

[@tuyous]

Love the city so far! Not sure I’ve seen any of my favorite creators play the game in the new style I believe the developers were intending. With the size of the map, ability to create grids quickly, easy milestoning, and surplus money.. I think you are meant to setup large communities earlier than CS1. Nobody that I’ve watched has a population above 40k and the commercial sectors suffer because they expect a larger customer base. Over zoning of commercial and office is happening a lot also. One 4x4 office zone saps a full bar of demand instantly. Overly educated sims are also a problem I’ve seen connected to the way the simulation worked in CS1. With a welfare office and homelessness as an option, low wealth with a lack of services and leisure is necessary for the simulation to function properly. Connecting to the outside is to encourage you to move further faster, larger assets mean go bigger earlier than you normally would. I think detailing options being limited early was to encourage you NOT to micromanage small towns and GROW. Again, love watching the creativity of everyone.

[@_ikako_]

10:10 the asymmetrical lane is the wrong way same thing at 14:00, the slip lane is on the left instead of the right - the existing lane on the highway has to merge into the middle lane, while the right hand slip lane continues as the new main lane (this would cause drivers who were already in the right hand lane to change lanes just to keep on the right) btw i hope i'm not being annoying with these nitpicks, just that the builds are so beautiful already it's a shame to have a couple of minor mistakes detract from it

[@redwazzaplays93]

As a side note, I would name hospitals, schools, colleges, police stations etc. after your patreons as the don’t tend to die or disappear!!! Airport and University gives the option to reward top tier… just a thought

[@Icydragon1989]

amazing build. to be honest it looks very british for me :D drove through the country side once. You hit the vibe very well

[@slosubies4845]

LOL! Two plus two is four, minus one dat's tree: quick lane maths!

[@liamjenkins244]

You mentioned the potential of adding a mining town, maybe something like Wrexham could be cool

[@craftyyounglady]

I really hope they change the different farms to have different field textures. With those random buildings as free to place props. 🤞

[@_ikako_]

a bus route taking people from caleb to the town center would go down a treat i think

[@ClareFlack]

Great video as always ❤ im hoping to finally play cs2 tomorrow 🙏

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

Hope you manage to play Clare! Thank you!

[@ClareFlack]

@OVERCHARGEDEGG I managed a little while. Unfortunately, my laptop isn't up to the challenge of running it lol but I still have cs1

[@IndomitableAde]

After watching a few city builders use the new version, the biggest difference seems to me that their cities and citizens do better when the builder responds to concerns about education, healthcare, crime and the like. In the first version people could build a good looking city that made money while pretty much ignoring citizens' needs. That doesn't seem to be the case in C:S2 as several factors are much more interdependent on each other.

[@SylvanFeanturi]

After about 15 hours, I had to go back to the first game. C:S2 is just too broken and too bare bones for me right now. Maybe with some DLCs and a bunch of patches... Still, already looking forward to the next episode! Love your build!

[@mfl8276]

I think your people are asking for low density housing not medium. I noticed it in your last vid too.

[@DrGonzo-k]

Love it. Dumb question though .... how are you getting into the free roam mode? I can only seem to get out of the interface to look at everything by entering the camera mode, but then its super awkward to move around it as it uses the WSAD rather than the mouse.

[@gregbuhr5464]

[@Dadaph]

These vids are much appreciated for building inspiration. Especially now when I figured out how to not have the game just crash on me all the time. Livestocks doesn't require fertile lands, do they? I want to move away from factories for my industry, but my map so far doesn't have too much farmland.

[@l2ockstar]

I beleive you are correct. When looking at your specialised industry, it should say whether it requires anything for it to be productive. When I looked the other day, I seem to remember it didn't need fertile land.

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

Yeah, livestock does not require fertile land 😊

[@drjonritz]

Hey Mods: can you add a network type: driveway?

[@hkan_theswed]

Oh it seems so easy when you building. I wish I can get my computer work with CS2 soon rhigt now it shows 4fps so its tuff to do anyhing then close it down an cry a bit.

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

City planner and imperatur have videos on how to get your game working, probably worth checking out if you're having trouble with it!

[@hkan_theswed]

I Done it and it is still terible 128gb ddr5 Ryzen9 9700 Radeon rx7900xt and it Will not. Something is wrong or Im to old to try to be a citybuilder. My best day are when I can sit down and enjoy you and the your friends citibuilders and just dreaming of do it to.

[@jaredstivers]

Feels like you need a gas station/ truck stop around the farm area and interstate.

[@max_archer]

I wonder if people are being forced to walk all the way from Caleb because there's no parking on those little roads. Might make sense to expand into regular streets at least through the center of town so they can park there, or maybe stick a lot or two around the back of the row houses? As for the farms, I think they ought to just change the ground texture for the different types, maybe the veg farm ought to be darker plowed earth and the livestock farm just bare dirt.

[@rexster76]

can we have a top down photo of the city looks so good! i love playing CS2 like this rather than creating large cities

[@Itswelshy86]

I think it would be nice to replace the industrial area with parks, dog parks, and play areas. Mixed in with some wood land. Possibly a special building like the London eye to add a feature. 🙏

[@thadizzie1]

Great stuff!! Even witht the lack of landscaping... you'd never know with your level if detail. Does industry zone with the same as the specialized industry? So far it seems not...

[@chrisbeveridge6891]

So, like OE, I've not liked the construction crane thing animation especially in comparison to the first game. But I'm stupidly coming around on it after watching a driving video from Austria to Italy last night and when they go through northern Italy in all these small towns, those cranes are EVERYWHERE building standard single family homes. It was highly surprising but it ended up showing me that this is pretty accurate in the real world at least. I still think it looks goofy when you have dozens of them growing at once, but at least it's rooted in some reality.

[@pandapoggers1385]

It seems pretty late for a suggestion, but maybe the pedestrian quay's could cross the road going down the elevation by becoming a bridge instead of joining the road?

[@joyl7842]

Looks a lot like the southern coast of Sweden. It has hills of farmland with smalls towns.

[@citieman]

I live in the UK and can confirm there is a lot of weird road connections

[@ondrejkratochvil4589]

Great video as usual egg. In my cs2 City i unlocked farming but i don't know where to place it. If i place it near my midtown, i guess its a bit unrealistic. But i dont have enough tiles to place it elsewhere and my city has deficits of farming too. Any suggestions?
