Rounding Off Downtown with Unique Builds In Cities Skylines! | Orchid Bay

[@kieranstewart78]

I really enjoy the Statue of Liberty placement. One thing that could elevate it would be a ferry stop, pulling up to the island or being on a ferry nearby is really impressive in real life. Looking forward to the expansion over the hills!

[@lejardine]

New Yorker here. Bodega is pronounced Bo-day-ga. And yeah its a general convenience store but with a deli and sometimes some have a butcher shop in the back. And the obligatory cat to ward off any rodents.

[@TerryTags]

Yep! This^ "Bo-day-ga" :)

[@jeffjeffson9587]

I like how the Brickland and Quays area is now in two bits, kinda like Brooklyn and Queens irl

[@db6842]

Hands down the best vanilla build on KZbin right now. Well done egg

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

Very kind mate, thank you!

[@maneatingsquirel]

Absolutely! This build and Verde Beach by City Planner Plays have inspired me so much and have actually made me drop some of my mods as a crutch

[@ibrayuri8386]

I doubt those children will study anything near the park XD but really nice work on the last island I like it a lot. In my opinion Orchid Bay is your finest masterpiece till now and I hope we will see more. I suggest to build industrial cities in the other bay so it will bring money and jobs and it will be far from the center. and I guess the rest should be farms and tourist's cities. enjoy your holiday and can't wait for your next video

[@thargoff]

Like the Status of Liberty on this island! I was thinking it should maybe be turned around, facing the water, as in NYC it is also facing away from the city, greeting incoming visitors. But then again, it has a totally different placing here, and it fits more for her to face the city. Also, perhaps a ferry stop at the island? :) Great to see this part of the map filled and still much more to come!

[@DashboardCookies]

'Brooklyn and Queens': 8 'Brooklyns and Queens': 4

[@TerryTags]

Thank you! I also counted four at: 00:50, 11:35, 12:36, and 22:02 I guess we're the Brooklyn's Police now? hahaha

[@DK-zk9lq]

Another great edition. Thanks Egg. Loved the Statue of Liberty island. Just thinking that the new tiny parks would be a great addition to the waterfront area. There should be loads of small basketball and playground parks scattered around.

[@RedSquirrelEater]

I really hope you don't give up on doing CS1 after this series. Please start a new city in the fall. There's plenty of demand for content from both CS1 and CS2.

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

All depends on views mate, if you guys watch it, I'll make it 😌

[@BunukaEvergreen]

How can you say there is demand for something when one variable isn't even out yet?

[@howardyoo4070]

​@OVERCHARGEDEGG Even if cities 2 is out, I'm definitely still going to watch Orchid Bay

[@toomanythings]

@@BunukaEvergreen Things like the expense of the new game, the sunk cost of the previous game and DLCs, and the system requirements for the new game that a lot of people won't have or aren't ready to invest in.

[@BunukaEvergreen]

@@toomanythings Thing is I was talking about from a creator perspective as the original comment suggested; which is probably quite important to Overchargedegg. They aren't going to make CS1 content if CS2 is performing 3x better. As for people that still play CS1, there is a wealth of content already on youtube for that. It'll stay that way too as the game will be frozen in place minus additional mods.

[@seanmuldoon6231]

I'd love to see one final vanilla CS1 build from you simply to see how you approach things with having access to all the "complete" game materials right from the very start. A lot of Orchid Bay was already built when that final deluge of content was unleashed. Anyhow, fun little build today!

[@AntneeUK]

Bodega. It's like a corner shop in the UK 👍

[@SimSanityYT]

Love this series, realistically though, a school would never be that close to an amusement park as it would be a major distraction

[@benjaminjonathanjamessisko7095]

I quite liked the original, compact amusement park. (Bodega) :)

[@KROW-SZNfoye53]

Hey, I see you can put the Arc de Triomphe too, could look amazing in a big roundabout of an old town center to look just like Champs Élysées

[@PrestonN127]

Yes please :)

[@chimpolad5064]

14:20 I think you’re looking for “bodega” 😉

[@wyattweber9983]

Downtown has been great but I'm pumped for more expansion into untouched areas!

[@memenationalcentre]

i love watching these videos on the toilet

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

Glad you're enjoying it bud!

[@accidrainn]

I love watching your builds and, your videos always come out when I'm ready to go to sleep 😴 I watch until.. I pass out thank you, for your calming voice 🙏🏻 Goodnight 😁

[@skillepoang]

Awesome build, love watching the city grow Also, bodegas is the word you were looking for referring to the small locally owned stores in New York City

[@michalkosciak6907]

You can build ferry and bus trips for tourists all around fully build downtown, great video

[@wirpyw]

Hello!! I hope everyone had a great day/Night!

[@sarahducky86]

Perfect placement of the Statue there. Love the sight line, and the mountains behind it look great too. Quirky build for sure, but I've really enjoyed it. Great to see the islands all finished.

[@kingofmashedpotatoes]

Enjoy your holiday 🥚! Statue looks great!

[@kingofmashedpotatoes]

It's a Bodega mate :)

[@scope_creep]

Brooklyn vs. Brooklyns - 7:4 .... just a guess! 😜 Well done, cheers!

[@bricks_and_cities]

It's impressive how well the Statue of Liberty integrates into the cityscape. Overall, this is a very nice rounding off of the fantastic downtown of Orchid Bay.

[@jstokes]

Love the view of the Statue of Liberty here. Perfect.

[@tychobotter]

Have the ferry end at the Statue of Liberty. Then it has a logical end!

[@larsgustavsson4891]

Great stuff. I think the parents of young children would be lots happier if you provide a fence to keep toddlers run for the quay and fall in. See 17:33 into the episode.

[@currently_heather243]

Love the statue of liberty! 🎉 Perfect asset choice for the area style. Thanks for episode and have a best time away on holiday! A rested egg means even better content for us 😊

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

Thanks heather! I will 😊

[@tg6301]

Great alignment of the statue of liberty. 🗽 Only thing i thought was odd this build, not sure how many residence or if a school would build next to a theme park. Noise and distraction to high to living and schooling. 🤷‍♂️ But as always, great layout to make everything tie together. 👍😁

[@e.m.b.5090]

Imagine being in high school and sitting in a sweltering classroom, clock seemingly standing still, damn afternoon lesson dragging on forever...and when you look out of the window, you can see (and hear) people having the time of their lives at the amusement park.

[@gidrodavid6363]

Such a lovely episode! We will definetly need a wall2wall area in the other side of bay in the upcoming episodes.

[@TheBlueDragon86]

Another great build! I’ll echo some of the other comments here and say a ferry stop near the Statue of Liberty would be great!

[@j0394]

Good to see the dynamic weather! Keep it up, your content is too notch!

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

Much appreciated!

[@JPacerox1]

It would be torture to sit in a high school class right next door to an amusement park lol

[@RAI-1911]

It's placed beautifully I'd say, and the skylines on the background really add to it.

[@SeanMather]

Putting a tunnel through that perfect gap in the mountains is almost criminal! The road at least should have gone through the gap

[@paulraymond1357]

Holiday!!.. Did the Holiday Police approve that. Have a great time and well deserved :)

[@mdogg95]

I think the Statue of Liberty ties up the Brookland and Keys area really nicely. The amusement park right next to the high school is wild too, I hope they give discounts to students 😉

[@toomanythings]

Beautiful as always. The rain just did it for me, thanks for leaving it in.

[@antoniopop1431]

citizens in overcharged egg city: Heaven on earth citizens in my city: God have mercy

[@djhig696]

Since this is the last CS1 OE build, I used the new "Plaza of Transference" landmark instead of the Statute of Liberty. Also, Bodega is the word you're looking for ("bo-DAY-gah"). :)

[@in2itiongamer]

Taking a break from my vacation to tune in to your latest creation. Great job, as always, Egg. So fun watching a master. Love Lady Liberty in the bay! p.s. Instead of tunneling that road out to the new area, how about taking advantage of that natural pass and have it crawl over instead? Ok, back to vacation! 😄

[@HarvesteR21]

Amazing job! I wish I had the time and the patience 🙂 Looking forward to the new expansion beyond the mountains! Enjoy your holidays.

[@RedDotHolla]

Bodega (Boe-Day-Guh)... its essentially a neighborhood corner store and its in every borough of NYC , not just in Brooklyn and Queens... theyre on just about every corner lol

[@WarrenSaint154]

20 mins video?!?!?! EGG WHAT YOU PLAYING AT, LOL I genuinely watch this video to procrastinate at work. Now I actually have to finish this dam spreadsheet ugh

[@jaredstivers]

Like the idea but if you move the high school into the Brooklyn area, put your flume ride in that area and eliminate one of the side gates, you could get another ride in it place. That way the theme park not interfering with the school. Also a block close to the Train Station could be cool for the high school and possibly a elementary school as the parents use the train to get there kids to school from the other Island

[@andocromn8755]

I think you should make the lore that it's a traveling pop-up type thing that comes to a city for about a week or 2 then moves elsewhere. An amusement park in the middle of the city doesn't make a lot of sense to me. They are usually out in the middle of nowhere, which is why they're spread out Boh-dag-a - and yes pretty much "everything" if you get what I mean lol

[@CurseMonstr]

Been really into your content lately Egg, look forward to watching into CS2. I love the game but just have no imagination so it’s cool to see some cool looking cities.

[@bigguido9448]

Lmao it’s called a bodega. Like Bo Deg A! Hahahaa yeah it’s a good spot to grab a chopped cheese a pack of smokes and maybe some drugs depending the neighborhood 😂😂. Awesome way to use the statue. But a cool cafe would work and definitely a little zoning for a souvenir shop on the island

[@Vincent_A]

Really nice build, as always ❤ Tok bad Noob Yolk was already taken, but perhaps there's still room for a Broodway? Alongside Upper Easter Side? I liked the esthetic of the traffic lights looking down towards the Statue of Liberty

[@jakepotter4]

Love the way you say Bodega 😂

[@AdmiralFloof]

Ahh nothing like starting the week by watching your videos. Very therapeutic.

[@Craftycatz1289]

I love the statue of liberty, a nice symbol of freedom

[@yayororo]

The Statue of Liberty definitely looked somewhere near the airport island

[@ManavGharat]

I love your builds so much. You make everything fit so well, so clean and immaculate.

[@danielmcs12]

Hey! I really love this series! You've been doing a great job with the vanilla assets! I just wish you would use some graphics mods because the lighting is so weird and the buildings dont really shine. Ends up being really hard to see how some of them look, as they get quite dark anx weird. Still absolutely love this series ♡

[@K-SHABAB]

hey 7am next dev diary (Traffic ai) video🎉

[@iOS6Fan1]

It's called "Bodega" 😂

[@pintokitkat]

Brooklyn and Queens - being English, you might find it easier to just call it B&Q!

[@kashimokid]

Great build! Looking forward to what you do with back bay

[@nithinvs]

looking forward for that bay area!

[@thesheq5023]

I think there’s a pocket across the river from your financial district that needs some low/medium density sprawl there. It seems like prime value real estate that would definitely be developed

[@ben0329]

One thing that might be interesting to add is the sightseeing buses around the Statue of Liberty and other tourist areas of the peninsula

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

Good call Ben! I always forget about those!

[@ben0329]

@@OVERCHARGEDEGG easily done, to be fair it’s not exactly the best game mechanic we have

the high school RIGHT next to the amusement park haha it's a good thing most of the rides and action are on a side of the high school that has no windows (methinks this is some visual storytelling haha) if i was a student there i don't think i could be in class and think about anything else. just how much i wanna be partying at the park 🤣🤣

[@mateuszwojciechmorawski7553]

Amazing as always 🎉

[@dr.fabrizioprado1361]

I think it will be more interesting if that avenue gently climbs that space between the mountain instead of a tunnel.

[@brianressler4390]

Everyone get in here new Overcharged Egg just dropped!!!

[@DavyOordijk]

Enjoy ur holiday!

[@riff2072]

I kind of disagree with spreading out the park. An urban/city park would be closed in on itself. Moving the Log ride down some may have helped. Just a thought.

[@lukerazer9565]

I feel like there should be a separate Brickland and Quays district on the other side of the river, so you've got two Bricklands to justify calling it "Brooklyns and Queens".

[@lukedawg2787]

Egg would it be possible to make the road and elevated rail running in front of the Statue of Liberty go into tunnels instead? The elevated rail and station take away from the Statue of Liberty. If they went from bridge directly into tunnels you could build a nice city park area behind those houses with a great view of the statue. This would drastically improve the sight line from/to an important asset.

[@phobiaone306]

It is Bodega - Bow Day Gah

[@riff2072]

What is the term bodega mean? Bo-da-guh Although bodega initially meant “a storehouse for wine,” it now most commonly refers to a grocery store in an urban area, especially one that specializes in Hispanic groceries.

Good afternoon OE from Allenstown, NH. Northeast, USA.

[@TangerineUnicornDesign]

An amusement park next to a high capacity high school? That can only go well for the education of your citizens.... 🤣😂 I guess the teachers won't have to go too far to find the kids missing from class.

[@YukikoAkazui]

somehow i never noticed im not actually subscribed to you.. well i guess you got a sub that's been watching for months now :')

[@Meta_Quest_Pepsi]

what dlcs r used in the map?

[@DJDayrok]

personally I dont like the amusement park in this particular spot near downtown orchid, and the statue of liberty seems.... rushed... I feel like it needs more flash, more structure to it, maybe raised up, the ferry line attaching to it would be awesome, aswell I think more commercial around it would be a welcome sight, as it is quite a large landmark really like the brickland and quays area though, and the actual quays around the city are really pulling it all together! 10/10

[@Thagarr]

Hope you enjoy your holiday mate, sometimes you just got to get away! I don't mean to sound like I am criticizing all your builds, I really do enjoy watching your videos, and really have learned a lot about building more realistic cities. Sometimes it is easy to come off as demanding in written comments like this, but I am just trying to give some constructive criticism. I really look forward to seeing you build in Cities Skylines II! That being said however, I really do not like the placement of that amusement park. As it sits right now, it is right in the middle of a residential area, business park and now a high school. Everything in that area just feels cramped to me, and that certainly would not be a very pleasant neighborhood to live in my opinion. There is no room for sports facilities for the school, and the tiny park areas just feel cramped as well. I think a better placement for that amusement park would have been across the river backed up against those mountains. I don't know if you had anything planned for that area, but if you run the road next to the shore, that would give you plenty of open space to expand the amusement park, with plenty of room for everything including the log ride. It would also get all that noise away from the residential area and the school. You might also be able to work a build or two up into those mountains, like an observatory or a climate research station, which might also give you a chance to add cable cars to the city, if you would like.
