"These gardens used to be called Cougar Park, but we had to change it to keep them from gathering here and then roving through the surrounding wine bars"

[@jcosunshine]

Oh my word..Cougar Park? .......👀....and where is this located???? Asking for a friend....

[@themightyeagle21]

Lore

[@jcosunshine]

I keep rereading this, and it's still so funny! 🤣🤣

[@jcosunshine]

@Brad Stanton new gang I think!

[@davidperks5928]

Clever . Lol

[@TeemuSintonen]

I absolutely love the way you approach Cities Skylines with this slower paced more up close & personal building style. That truly brings these cities to life! Great series so far!

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

Thank you!

[@70M45-c9r]

Yeeeeh! Trams have came! It actually gave me an idea. Quite a lot of metro systems around the world evolved from trams, that were so busy they got upgraded over time (but usually still some of the trams got preserved as trams). These metros usually feature sharp corners, short carriages (S-Bahn trains maybe?), run nex to streets and even grade-crossings, especially on less busy branches. Dunno, just an Idea that came to my mind when you said you want to have a tram-heavy transit network P.S.: You are spoiling us with this upload schedule

[@thargoff]

Well, yes, that's what he meant with DLR (light train), which is similar to S-Bahn. So, you are clearly on to something here. :)

[@70M45-c9r]

@@thargoff Yeah I wasn't sure whether he didn't mean he will just have a heavily used tram line (I can imagine that for non-nerds the name of DLR can be misleading. EDIT: By nerd I meant myself, not you 🙂

[@PhilipBrady]

Wow, pretty cool to have named an Egg series! I'll have to build along this time. Excited to see how Orchid Bay develops.

[@BlackOpsChuck]

Congratulations

[@goldythefish36]

Well you're name was a good fit because of your reasoning.

[@jcosunshine]

Great job on the name!

[@zacbennett527]

A tip for the busses, you should try and make the routes serve more houses with stops every 2-3 blocks before they arrive at their target destination (eg. School/ Work.) By doing this you will increase the amount of people using the busses by making it more accessible.

[@thargoff]

The Church of the Cougar vs. The Church of the Deer, I would say. 🤣 What an amazing town centre and still also so funny. Love the mass transit aspect of it all and all the super detailing. It makes such a difference and the Plazas and Promenades DLC has become huge in a very short time. Maybe extend and bend the secondary tram line around the hills and towards the industrial area across the river?

[@jamesmeredith5551]

It's so nuts just how many networks and assets you have in these early episodes compared to when you were first making Noob Yolk. The vanilla game is so awesome now and your builds, as always, are inspiring.

[@jcosunshine]

I could watch you constsruct transit hubs all day long. I love your ideas for them, they always work so well, and of course gorgeously detailed! I laughed out loud when you got distracted by the cougar...classic Egg! This city is making me get an itch to start a new city, something I haven't done in about 8 months, maybe 9? Could be time to wrap mine up and start looking for a new map. Wow. Can't believe you have me excited to start a new city! Well done, Egg, loving this series, can't wait to see where it goes! Very happy about all the new people too, welcome in and happy to see you all interacting with us in the livestream chats! Yay!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈

[@citriosis]

The history of "Cougar Park/The Hunting Grounds" has made this my new favorite CS series 😭 It's the little things bringing this city to life and make it so wonderfully personal lol. That cougar was just vibing, I love it.

[@bricks_and_cities]

Wow! What an impressive transit area! The placement of the City Hall reminds me of the Noveria transit hub. This is such a fantastic open space. The name of Orchid Bay is just perfect, too.

[@zsoltszegedi8995]

It's a great feeling when you see another episode of this series gets uploaded. I also started a city on this map but It kinda got messy as it grew, I kinda want to start all over again. You got me inspired lol

[@2wheelmotohead339]

Yes. Saturday morning wake up, drinking some coffee, relax and watch an EGGisode 3 of this build.

[@MatthewT6788]

Amazing to see your really getting this new series started strong! Yes please 😊

[@E6GSY]

Cute town centre build. Maybe missing some market stalls from the eco DLC. ❤

[@ClareFlack]

I'd just finished watching the Ilos episode and saw this, make me happy. I really do enjoy your videos, you have such vision with your cities.

[@landofsuchbeauty]

This is so much fun to play along with. I've got 1000+ hours playing this game over many years, and I still learn new things from creators like you. I stripped-down my workshop items to get 'close' to vanilla (I can't let go of a few QoL mods and visual stuff!), and I'm playing along as though you were my C:S tutor! I'm enjoying it and am learning as we go. Thank you, Egg!

[@lilfrisk613]

Had to copy the trams and bus station in my city! This is beyond amazing, i really like all the things you come up with!

[@cindyandrew4382]

I'm building along and i got a cougar in the park too! Haven't seen the deer yet, but a lone wolf keeps showing up. Thanks for the fun content, whenever I get in a slump i try to follow along and soon the slump is gone!

[@fogpeople]

Well clearly the Cougars are gonna be your sports team. :-) One of the things that makes you one of my fave builders is your use of "empty" space to let your areas breathe. Despite the very dense tram interchange there's enough park and park-ish areas that it still feels realistic. Well done! :-)

[@jcosunshine]

OMG YES The Cougars HAVE to be the sports team 🤣🤣

[@moosemanuk]

Detailing timelapses sound like a Rocky montage these days, which I love! Great content Egg, I don't mind longer videos, more to enjoy. Great build, I am very reliant on mods I will admit but your vanilla cities really make me think I should eschew them all and do something in vanilla myself. Thanks for your input into the community!

[@danielroy9851]

Love the townhall plaza-park, and the DIY transport hub… love the open space and lower constructions. C’est beau, bravo! Good inspiration!

[@andocromn8755]

Hi Egg! Taxis will only wait at the stands if they have no customers to service. Each taxi depot can only spawn 25 taxis, so if you only have 1 or 2 taxi depots they will likely get so busy that they won't ever wait at the stands. I have 6 of them, least 150 taxis in my city of 40k and they're actually pretty effective

[@70M45-c9r]

Hi, what if one of the churches was called church of archangel Michael (patron of policemen) and the other st. Florian church (patron of firefighters) to resemble their original uses

[@PaulPhillabaum]

Getting planes before trains is weird. But getting bikes at the same time as planes is even stranger! 😂

[@jodiecox8951]

The cougar distraction still has me 😂😂😂 love you Egg ❤

[@DocNo27]

Especially for it's age, it always amazes me how beautiful and intricate Cities:Skylines is if you just stop and take a look.

[@patrick17_6]

34:00 I really love how this looks, I wish I could make something that good.

[@Bert_ErnieCockatiels]

Amazing content again Egg. I play on console and love mimicking your builds. Would love to see a detailing episode to follow straight after a normal build episode. It's hard to follow a time-lapse even on .25x speed. 😆😆😆

[@jsquared94og]

New to the channel, but this is excellent. I loved the nighttime cinematic of the Library. Can’t wait to see what’s next!

[@kimmipops5143]

What a lovely build - very impressive road/tram layout. Maybe there could be a small pond at the beautiful area behind the city hall - keep up the great work 😊

Bro, your videos has stepped up my cities game so much. Thank you so much! Also, your little theme with petty church differences is hilarious and very realistic haha.

[@dwr1001]

How can you build so good looking things? Can you please do a series where you explain this, especially for players like me who don't have the patience to detail as much?

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

All of my series explain this tbh. The Noobs Guide Playlist might be most appropriate for you!

[@Leopard7]

I just started a vanilla city on the same map! It's gonna be really cool to see how they evolve in their own ways!

[@ben0329]

Loving the episode so far! In those 1x4 spaces between tram road and regular road (32:45) some of the Green Cities markets might look cute and make the space feel more walkable

[@brianbarrett3161]

I know overuse can lead to "cheesing," but a pedestrian tunnel instead of a bridge would be absolutely normal for an area like this

[@shaunage01]

perhaps the two churches are such bitter rivals that when one church started using its wads of cash donations from its congregation to become ingrained into the town government back in 1734, the other church did the same and the town ended up with a divided town council, each with their own pots of money and each half owning different plots of land in the town. one day the church of el pollo diablo decided "we're going to build a tram network". when the church of œuf écossais heard of this, they immediately formed their own plans to, you guessed it, build a tram network on the streets that they owned. and that is why the town ended up with two extremely useful, but completely independent, never touching or sharing tracks, tram networks loved by the citizens

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

Genius

[@Alucard666cro]

maybe consider the 1 tile separation trick from the main road for the city hall? some trees or hedges in front might be a cool aesthetic. also, is it possible to lower the elevated pathways a bit? they are currently dominating the area, and lowering them might make them sit in there better

[@picklepotpieofficial]

I vote for no raised path at all, completely ruined the sightline from Library to City Hall

[@keithrowley7381]

Amazing mate, never fail to amaze me with your vision.

[@Sweet05cts]

After discord this morning - "tram gang" - EXTRA LOLOL

[@pgmetcalf]

I know it's not applicable in this build because of what you're doing, but my latest walkability trend is to widen overhead footpaths with node controller

Hey Egg is there a chance you will use monorails in this city sometime? I never saw you using them and it would be interessting seeing what you can do with them.

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

I've used them before in previous builds, they'll more than likely be here too :)

[@mcbro5041]

[@davetanner8643]

Instead of a foot bridge at the transport hub, why not have a subway.

[@KSPRAYDAD]

Are there no below grade paths that could be used or created...I don't think it'd be realistic given the story you built about where city hall is situated, sight lines, then that montrosity of a walking path being built. In my city you have transit shelters that also are an entrance to cross the road to another shelter.... See the round circles here 45.375181474900046, -75.69150725221054

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

Enjoy bro!

[@shaunage01]

Just to let you know mr egg, i found out the other day when messing with p&p stuff that buses will use the pedestrian tram roads, so no need to segregate at least as far as routing is concerned for buses in the ped zones. unfortunately you can't put bus stops on the tram ped roads, but still useful the other thing i wanted to request was prompted by your note of making the city public transport heavy (kinda ties in with my other comment) - when making the tram/bus/metro/monorail systems, to have them synergise as you might see in real life, rather than as dictated by game mechanics. for example in noob yolk, the monorail is a straight a-b route and other than in the downtown and i think one stop near the original starting point, there's little integration with other modes of transport (as of the oil industry episode, which is where im up to). for semi urban/built up areas one would expect to see multiple routes if not modes of transport so that users of the system have a true "network" to optimise their travel, rather than only one route or mode. in the uk, tfl is probably the best example of this with tube and bus tightly integrated, with the overground rail complementing the whole mixed mode concept, along with all the local light rail systems

[@4rkang31]

First! Looking forward to watching this ep. Edit: Thanks for including my suggestion!! Second edit: This series inspired me to start a new city, and I've taken on board the couplet idea from Biffalo Countea, Orchid Bay and the City of Evergreen (Nicolet Bay). Thanks for all the amazing content you've put out there. I watched some of your stuff even just from earlier last year, and it's clear to see how you've grown as a creator. As I've said countless times before, Love your work, Egg!

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

Thanks for suggesting!!

[@IceDree]

Neat, Love Transit Hubs!

[@NoelWalker]

Taxis are great to follow in C:S. They have an 8 hour shift and visit all over the city. The hard part is finding one, once they have all escaped from the depot. LOL.

[@patrick17_6]

38:28 lmfao jeez, same same, I was convinced they were all just non-functional props untill I saw this now xD

[@mmettler42]

Love the advice at 7:40 to create a node by drawing and deleting a road; didn't know you could do that! Love the curved cobblestone bus stop design from that!

[@ArtZapzzTen]

Yaaaaay so glad to see the ep 3 ^^

[@pyro-0438]

haha carnivorous deer! i love it

[@bshipman2k]

That city center build is one of my top favorites I've seen so far! One thought I had was that moving the city hall back off the main road using a pedestrian road might give it a bit more depth as right now it's directly on the bus hub.

[@Luzitanium]

you should tried the yellow lisbon trams mod, are so cute and classic fits in every historic area

[@BakedZiTi77]

You never cease to amaze with you're creativity. Those off node "bus stops" to create a vanilla bus terminal before you get one! You are the Bob Ross of city skylines

What a great happy accident with the town hall and everything else falling in line.

[@Abreaxas]

I would say the Police church serves coffee and donuts instead of bread and wine.

[@felixsamuelsson3038]

I absolutely love your videos, but the way you draw bus lines seems a tiny bit unrealistic? If a cim lives one stop before the school and takes the bus it would have to go through the whole city to get back to its house. Maybe you should have two lines per "normal bus line" the first going one direction and one going to exactly the same places but in the opposite order?

[@Sweet05cts]

I'm so excited to already have another episode out

[@TheDRBC]

As a new player, I still struggle to understand when you're talking about vanilla and then placement? Your city looks incredible and I've tried to replicate what you're doing to get the same feel... but I can't seem to get any decent looking commercial, little town buildings... and all the mods - they don't seem to work for me. Only Move It... the Prop line tool seems totally broken and I tried to get the content creator and asset packs to work... but I don't know, maybe I'm doing something wrong! Anyway, great video as usual!

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

If you are brand new I would highly suggest watching my Noobs Guide series as it holds your hand a lot more through the early game than this. The PLT broke with the recent update and you now need to use prop anarchy if you want the function again. Thanks, glad you're enjoying them :D

[@TheDRBC]

@@OVERCHARGEDEGG thanks for the reply! I’m not a super noob and I’ve watched a far chunk of the moon guide - but something always seems to go awry. Your city’s looks so realistic and even if I try to mirror them to learn your methods, they end up looking so bulky and bloated. If you could give one defining rule/advice - what would it be. Also thanks regarding the PLT info and advice :)

[@apaku]

'Carnivorous Deer' 🤣 Very nice transit hub and I think one of the largest early-game town center areas across the vanilla builds. The new timelapse music is very cool too. Really spoiling us with all the vanilla content this week 🤩

Great episode about town centre transport integration. I can never seem to get mine as compact and tidy as yours.
