Industrial Waterfront - Cities Skylines: Winter in the Midwest 05

[@Stegar]

You make such a good point about not needing so much detail or variety. I guess that is the redeeming feature about snowfall cities

[@zkittlezthabanditt604]

I personally find that abandoned factories along the sides of a river are particularly interesting, not to say that other abandoned factories aren't, but they seem to have this whole new look next to the water

[@fzerox3663]

I love the cinematic sound effects, the first one makes the city seems so much more blustery and cold, in a good way.

[@Dirty.H]

Love the thumbnail idea, feels fresh everytime. Cinematics are great too, the sound effects add so much to a scene

[@BattleshipOrion]

One thing you could do @8:05 is add one or two old boxcars. Or maybe the line is not as used, and is holding tank cars, or hopper cars in storage, and it might be owned my a local railfan, or another business to help float income, after I herd from another channel that car storage a $4 or $5 dollars per 10 cars.

[@mustardgas6205]

I live in a small town in the Midwest, and I gotta say, this is spot on

[@jedimaster1399]

yes!

[@biagio014]

I would say it is too industrial

[@biagio014]

@Argument Starter 2.0 I totally don’t live here

[@222B3NN7]

@@biagio014 it’s not

[@Christjs27]

This build reminds me of Lowell, MA.

[@lawrencegcolemaniii7474]

It’s something about the sound effects that makes me get a better representation of how cold it actually is there. If you were to do a national park and place some cabins, I’d definitely spend the holidays here.

[@zkittlezthabanditt604]

I agree

[@lawrencepsteele]

I liked the distribution center. One small detail: a lot of bays were empty and not all trailers had a truck connected. Both add a lot to the realism. It's also reminds me of a HUGE DC being built a few miles from my house - pass by it everyday commuting to/from work. Speaking of details. Two things we've noted out here: there are banks everywhere (they're like Dunks in New England). Also, gas stations - wherever you find one (all over) you'll find another across the street. Same for drug stores: Walgreens and CVS are almost always within three blocks of each other.

[@PresCities]

Noted, thanks!

[@djymm]

There's a facility near me that makes potato chips, and they have a loading dock that tips a semi trailer up to dump out loads of potatoes. A weird sight and fun addition for some industry.

[@granthawkins88]

Yaaaa Midwest time! I'm an expat in Asia missing my hometown Minneapolis. This hits the spot!

[@granthawkins88]

Also, cycling is BETTER in the cold because you don't sweat on your communite.

[@teepicgamer73]

Love the town man, my suggestion is a small general aviation airport, maybe with a diner on it. Lots of GA flying up in the northern Midwest.

[@ralphthegamer2173]

Hey man I will say it on discord don't worry

[@skyvan0433]

Looking great. Love the way the small town looks with the snow.

[@wutguycreations]

I have a really good online friend who lives up in the midwest (she's in Michigan, I'm in Georgia) and I might just show her screenshots of this to see how accurate it is. I've never been to the midwest but the build looks super accurate!

[@ktown-chef]

I am really enjoying this series Pres. There are so little snow series out there this feels fresh and new.

[@ryanakesson4338]

Omg please make the tutorial on how to zone in a realistic way. I keep having the issue of all the same buildings getting built when I zone.

[@shamriznisthar270]

Yeah. I would love to see a tutorial on this

[@granthawkins88]

How about a badass sledding hill next to the elementary school?

[@laurengabriel3724]

Pres: ".........the fringe of the city......." Me: "SUBDIVISIONS!"

[@sdrx903]

i fly over the midwest every year or so and seeing this from above in-game it really does remind me of something id see below in wisconsin, good job on the pacific coast in long beach or westport in wa, there's a lot of rental fatbike places for the beach, and mountain biking is a decent tourism industry on the northwestern coast where there's cliffs from kalaloch to neah bay

[@Stegar]

Not my thing given that I'm a patron, but it's cool that you're using the channel's old logo for the memberships emoji

[@PresCities]

I like it, and it actually is technically my present logo (see my banner) but this particular variation wasn’t being used

[@LeveyHere]

I hope I can play this game again someday. I just can't play it on my current laptop or my previous one. The frames and loading times were so horrible.

[@phillyzfynest7]

Lovely build.

[@jedimaster1399]

just saw it good video love the amount of detail!

[@stun3282]

Nice build today.

[@ralphthegamer2173]

Like the intro music you use it in a Columbia City episode please keep the intro music it just make memories:):)

[@welltheresyourproblempodca1465]

ok i really need to see a bridge pier at 11:31

[@welltheresyourproblempodca1465]

oh wait i see it there at 17:03, thanks

[@PresCities]

wouldn't want a WTYP episode dedicated to my stupid virtual arterial bridge

[@Flying_Skier]

I’ve got a fatty, it’s like a regular bike but really heavy and slow

[@IamPie]

10:18 *cries in Columbia City*

[@Izmael1310]

Big parking lot assets look really great. Though I'm little bit worried about CSL limits if building large project with many parking lots of this type (much more nodes and buildings plopped). Every plopped parking which (according to big parking lots tutorial video) gives 6 parking slots and it takes one ingame square. So you need a lot of them per normal parking spot - like maybe 20 - 50 of them. But maybe my worries are unjustified and premature, because players probably end their project from different reasons than hitting node and building limit :) You are absolutely right about the details in swowfall map but on the other hand there is also less visual things to enjoy. It feels like one large white snow blanket. No colours, no different textures just white colour everywhere. I've never liked snowfall maps and I hope you will be back in some classic project soon :) Have a nice rest of the weekend.

[@waltercunningham4892]

no bc those sound affects are great!

[@redswanmusic3627]

The thumbnail looks great :)

[@braistlava]

I really like this city

[@TropicalityCat]

Were you in the Marble Mountain Live stream yesterday?

[@PresCities]

Yeah

[@ApollonDriver]

I think hearing the city is better than music

[@yairrassabi9609]

you can do a tutorial about how to make your own zoning district?

[@Sxlidbaws]

hm i might start a snowfall city now that you said that it doesn't need to be so detailed, my computer would appreciate it very much

[@sharkitect2929]

i just saw a red one spark up in the corner, and instantly pressed it

[@mr.campbellteaches541]

Building a minor league stadium in the downtown would he really cool

[@ColtsMan2005]

[@alex72749]

Hey, Pres. What roads are you using? Been thinking of building a new city but I need to find some good American roads.

[@PresCities]

BIG American roads and Clus’s Americana roads

[@xandere4776]

Why have you stoped with Fietsstad?

[@mr.campbellteaches541]

Are we not going to get another episode of this?

[@PresCities]

a cinematic video and maybe a livestream

[@lamarfo]

What is with your population because you put more house's down and it dropped?

[@JTL_26]

Hii! I play cities skylines and I am wondering what mod you use to place buildings together, and another mod that allows you to unlock all building from the workshop automatically. I recently started a city and one skyscraper needs 1000 people riding public transportation per week, but you always have the buildings unlocked straight away.

[@PresCities]

BloodyPenguin has an Unlock All mod you should check out. To place buildings together, use Fine Road Anarchy 2 and Move It!

[@JTL_26]

@@PresCities ok thank you so much!

[@Jericho398]

If only this game works properly on my computer with the mods that I use.

[@Geetfried]

What’s that song in the beginning?

[@PresCities]

Mild Tempers - For Her

[@Geetfried]

@@PresCities Alright thank you! It just reminded me of Columbia City and I loved the sound of it

[@Camerongalexander]

Honestly not too sure about the new thumbnail - it wasn't as recognisable as one of your videos and I didn't immediately notice you'd posted it, which was mildly annoying. (Yes, I know I could use notifications, but they're really annoying tbh)

[@PresCities]

Yeah it also was the first one, so I’m assuming that will change over time

[@PresCities]

And I don’t blame you, I turn notifications off for everything
