How To Start A City In Cities Skylines 2!

[@jiggyjay9757]

I like the city name “New Yolk”. It’s kind of playing off the York/New York but also incorporates the love for eggs

[@MugwumpSupreme]

It's fun saying it in a Brooklyn accent. 😅

[@the_titan_atlas]

Second this! Egginburgh would be perfect since the map is based on Scotland. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

So exciting to be here for the start of the OE Cities 2 journey! Great episode to start, look forward to what's to come 😄

[@Fraden666]

City name: Beaverton Creek. A beaver was the original source of vanilla flavouring, and it's a vanilla map.......

[@lukeueda-sarson6732]

I hate to be "that guy" but vanilla comes originally, ironically enough given it's on OE channel, from orchids native to the central Americas. Vanillin, its main flavor component, is nowadays synthetically produced.

[@jeffjeffson9587]

@@lukeueda-sarson6732That’s why it was called Orchid Bay, I’m pretty sure. Although beavers do secrete Castoreum, it’s used more so in perfumes, and isn’t used as a vanilla alternative; that’s a myth unfortunately.

[@charleshaney1208]

It is used for strawberry taste

[@michelveenstra9906]

No its not😅

[@mastersuntzu]

Since you're using the Highlands map, you should honor the Scottish Highlands and name it Glen Nevis. Glen Nevis is a Glen in Lochaber. It also sits at the base of the highest mountain Ben Nevis. There are 3 massive waterfalls there and they all flow into what becomes known as the Waters of Nevis at the Glen. Below is steep and impressive gorge. Great content as always 🎉

[@AntneeUK]

Name suggestion: Kaksi Plains "Kaksi" is Finnish for 2... You know, because Colossal Order is Finnish, and it's C:S2 is, well, version 2... I'm already regretting this idea... And "Plains" because it'll (presumably) be a "plain" vanilla build. No idea if that works with the map, but that's my terrible idea, and I'm sticking with it.

[@AntneeUK]

Maybe Kaksi could be the name of the second town in the county instead. Doesn't make so much sense to call the region "Plains" if it's a highland map 😂 That'll teach me to get my suggestion in before watching it 😂

[@carriegarrisonvos4433]

Great start to what will be a great series no doubt! Love the Egginburgh suggested today!! Fits the Highlands map and associates with you! Looking forward to more and more of this 🤩

[@thexlonewolf671]

Name Suggestion: New Eden. Eden Prime was the very first planet you visited in Mass Effect, so it feels appropriate we’d reference it for a “new beginning.” Something that pays homage to what came before, but is also something entirely its own.

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

Urgh, you know I love the ME references

best vanilla builder in my opinion. I know there are insanly great vanilla detaillers, but OE manage to make so much with so little, each assets, each detail, really make coherent and beautiful pictures. It's not even minimalist, it's just well thought

[@deejaideel4246]

My vote is for Egginburgh 😁

[@MugwumpSupreme]

I've seen a lot of good name ideas but this might be my favorite considering the map. I bet Egginbergenzians would make a wicked Scotch Egg.

this is the best gameplay i've ever seen of any city builder. you're actually planning stuff and you're nice to watch! this channel was tthe found of the month

[@pebrain21]

I am so happy that I got to see the start of a new CS2 City. You and Fewcandy are the best. I would also like to offer up Euangelion (It means good news) as the city name.

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

Thank you for the kind words 🙏❤

I'm going with Oette! Egginburgh! And for the starting town, I might have to go with Little Palaven, because of the pine trees!

[@casius2715]

I like OE. Even without any mods or really any detailling tools he makes it looks so easy. And it's such great paced content too! Gonna build along when I finally get the game tomorrow!

It's so nice to watch a video of Egg's for Cities II that's not rushed by the constraints of prerelease. I love Egg's usual pace, and haven't been able to get though any of the creator's Cities II videos because of the prerelease rushing. Watching Cities content is my chill time. It's finally time to focus on building and storytelling again, instead of "SOS" - Shiny Object Syndrome.

[@AhrisOsman]

Wish the episode didn't end! What a fantastic start and showcase to this game with such high potential. That water tower though ♥️

[@bengtceder7826]

So great to have you backing us on CS II, can't wait for next episode

[@harshkejriwal2485]

On the couplet system you should add the wide sidewalks on the side of the commercial and the tree line on the opposite side. That makes sense because people are going to walk on the side of the commercial

[@ez2forget]

Awesome video! I am following along / building . Everything went smoothly until the end where I realized you added an additional residential area near the main highway that you didn't show (along with some detailing over there). Trying to pull a fast one on us already I see. So much fun to have this build alongside two others I am working on. One on Barrier Island and another on Windy Fjords. So much to learn... will be fun to see how this city progresses. PS Is your town very mad about high rent and have a bunch of 'no customers'... I hope I didn't mess up too bad while following along.... LOL.

[@InimitableAde]

For the county, Shellby. For the towns, name them after egg dishes/cooking methods, eg, Florentine, Benedict, Sunnyside, etc.

[@flis9618]

Egg, I don’t know if you’re planning on having trains in this map/series but if you do can you please consider having the track mostly at ground level? 🙏 I feel like trains are usually on ground level in real life and then the roads are elevated or conforming to the tracks.. Usually in c:s people will raise the trains but it just doesn’t make sense to me 😔😅 Trains are usually there first & they have a lot more constraints when it comes to elevations etc… In c:s2 there is also just a ground level station so it makes more sense that the tracks are ground level as well 😊 Other then that I love that you started this series and I’m so excited to follow along ❤

[@jettangeles2707]

It would be amazing to see you do a city of the future. A sustainable one that looks to showcase how environmental changes (heatwaves, flooding) can be reduced, prevented. Might he fun to see if real world architects could create cool concept solutions. You’re approach to cities and understanding them, the little details of what makes them work and why they done that way.

Little suggestion, perhaps until we get access to props and stuff, detailing timlapse could be replaced by checking up on the "built in lore" aka following the named cims 😊 Bezpii moved houses recently 😜 will watch again to see if I can spot more, maybe we can spot another notorious partner swapper... 😂

I really like the way you build your neighborhoods. The only thing I don't understand about this build is the 4-road-4-way intersection in the middle. lol. I tend to worry too much about the zoning demand and end up with a bunch of large groups of the same zones. Doesn't look quite as nice.

[@seanlynch6077]

Thanks for the video, very informative and I enjoyed it! One question for you, at 14:35 you mention rent increasing on residential lots due to the size of the lots. I don't quite understand, does rent increase due to lots being smaller, larger, or due to a specific shape? Edit: I should have finished the video before asking the question! I get it now, 4x4 grids have cheaper rent than the bigger ones, which makes complete sense. Thanks again!

@4:31 Love the Zeppelin reference.

[@EndoScorpion]

Egg Ness Named after Skegg Ness Ness is a gaelic word for promontory (a point of high land that juts out into the sea or a large lake; a headland), I think any use of the word "ness" would be perfect for a town/city on this map.

[@stalfithrildi5366]

As Skegness is nicknamed Skeggy then Eggness could be nicknaamed Eggy

[@questionmaker5666]

Glen Eyrie is a good name, eagles nest in glens and they lay eggs, matching your channel's egg theme. While the town of Eggleigh came to mind, it sounds like 'egg lay' which makes sense as the first city was 'laid' and 'hatched' there.

[@Hannodb1961]

It's a pity they didn't build churches into the mechanics. I really liked how simcity classic, and I think Simcity 2000 also used residential zones to randomly spawn churches.

[@johanvanderwalt8834]

Enjoying the videos 😀 Honestly feel that in Cities Skylines 1 the citizens complained a lot earlier about services, like garbage removal. I have seen that some guys go to Tiny town without placing any services and to me that is just unrealistic, so perhaps something that can be communicated to the Dev's as it makes gameplay more realistic

[@Kodanikage]

If your looking for Highland names Brigadoon comes to mind. Supposedly its supposed to be invisible village until 1 special day every hundred years, during which outsiders are let in. I think the map should be called either Ugh Albannach (Scottish Egg) or Uighean Uaine (Green Eggs). If you go with the 2nd one, the city center could be called Ham.

[@capefury8731]

Mass effect intro love it

[@ArchTeryx00]

Since you like to use Mass Effect names, my name suggestion is Virmire. It kind of reflects the status of the game - a world with a lot of rich potential but unformed and uncolonised as of yet. Also, after the absolute volcano of drama over the launch, watching you start out a new city is very, very soothing. PalmsTime already proved that even with just base CS II you can still make a gorgeous looking city. I look forward to seeing what you do! Fantastic start here, though I could almost feel the pain in your voice because you *couldn't lay down any fences.* (Yet!)

[@stalfithrildi5366]

When deciding on the dialect words to use in printed English, there is the story of Caxton being very confused at a Londoner not knowing the word "egg" as it is of norse origin and used in the old Danelaw. The Londoners of the time used "eyren" so you could incorporate these origins into various names; Eggby, Eggthorpe, and Eggthwaite etc Eyrenton, Eyrenham, Sticky Egging etc

[@samenshahriar6249]

I 100% agree with your decision with high density.

Name Suggestion : Paarl. It's a small city located in South Africa, Cape Town, named after the huge rock on the Paarl mountain that shines like a pearl after some rainful hence the city was named Paarl due to the Afrikaans language.

I notice you have your two windturbines connected to each other. I had some problems with this, where i was generating so much electricity but still got notifications that there were rolling blackouts due to a shortage (50 MW usage vs 250MW generated). Long story short, I don't think you can chain power sources to each other like in CS1. If you check the power cable between the two, I don't think there is a 'flow' like there is in the other cables. Idk if it was just me or if this was a bug, but I ended up using a network of transformers and high voltage cables to distribute the electricity around my city. Which is more realistic, but pretty frustrating to figure out why my electricity wasn't working properly :') on the plus side, once I fixed it I immediately went into a positive budget flow for the first time because I was exporting so much electricity! edit: at 47:44 you can see the difference between the cables. Left one has highlighted white flow, right one is solid dark yellow. I took this to mean that that electricity isn't being used/transported.
