Rivers, Roads & Ravines - Planning For Future Expansion In Cities Skylines | Ilos

[@fewcandy]

Can't believe that was your first mountain!! Absolutely love it, adds so many amazing view points to that stunning down town. Excited to see what you build in the new area! Lovely work as always Egg

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

Thanks FewC! Glad you enjoyd it, 2nd mountain soon!

[@LeeAndrewVideos]

I have to thank you for introducing me to the "zone adjuster" mod, I had seen it before but never really used in such detail. I was able to follow the changes in the settings and understand how it works. It has changed the way I build in leaps and bounds and brings so much satisfaction instead of major frustration building infrastructure like before.

[@danonck]

Wow, just wow. With each episode you impress me even more with your creativity. And the cinematics are as always a chef's kiss! Especially that night view of the Ilos sign with the moon in the background, so artsy! As for ideas, I mentioned in comments to one of the previous videos that some Native American reservation or something of the sort would be great. Perhaps somewhere near the lake or the new mountain. If you can find the assets for it of course. Oh, and you mentioned in the last episode I believe when building the Main Street that you were on the fence with the white/green vanilla Expo Center. I say demolish it. It's such an eyesore, it was especially painful to see in the cinematics with everything else in the map blending in together so nicely.

Since Havasu means "blue", your lake should obv be Lake Eiffel, with the two splitting streams being the Dabadee and the Dabadai. The island is - for obvious reasons - called Isle Auss. As for non-obvious amenities, you could make a Japanese (or similarly themed) Garden, or possibly steal the ruin props from the Central Park asset. Speaking of assets, you could place the Traffic Park and expand it into some sort of road safety center. A satellite campus of the university might work well too, perhaps stealing some zoo assets for an institute of ornithology/river ecology/desert geography/... Or perhaps an archaeological dig site where they are unearthing Native relics?

[@cukka99]

In one of those (surely meaningless but fun) linguistic coincidences, hava means "air" and su means "water" in Turkish, both of which nicely go with "blue"!

[@TangerineUnicornDesign]

When it's not flooding and destroying everything, watching water flow in CS is so satisfying. And i think if you're going to do Lake Havassu, you have to do it at Spring Break when it just becomes wall to wall boats and partying. Loads of options for some really creative builds.

[@yowheeler]

I’m a Phoenician, and spent a lot of time in havasu. The whole build is very reminiscent and your drive through are nice. If you look on the map, you will find large blocks of nothing, phoenix is right next to a large native reservation with sparse development and one of the largest national parks. Something to consider late build.

[@thargoff]

That view and the train node, a lake and trains and train tunnels and islands and signs on the mountain! And this is only the beginning! What an episode! Great work, OE! (Great LOTR fan: what about "Lonely Mountain" from The Hobbit as a mountain name?)

[@jcosunshine]

I loved this episode!!! I always struggle with infrastructure so this episode is a great learning tool for me! I LOVED that trick with the railroad and the highway nodes, to blend them together was AWESOME! Layers of height, terraforming mountains, watching that lake fill YES PLEASE, and excellent music choices = so much spicy goodness!!! Thank you Egg, for an excellent episode!!!! Love love love LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!

[@whitlcj1]

Name the island Dwindling Lake Island. As we all know, or should, Lake Havasu is disappearing rapidly and the new name should call attention to those who are unaware. It's something ridiculous like 400 feet deep and depleting by a dozen feet a month or so. Thank you. Great video so far man.

[@twocflyer7520]

so true and a month or so ago the federal government gave the Colorado River Basin Stats 60 days to come up with an emergency plan to cut something like 2-4 million acher feet of water use a year from the Colorado River. Arizona alone uses like 4.2 maf a year. We's got a HUGE problem!

[@HawaiianMusicReacts]

You should use Windy Vista Point from Mt. Lemmon in Tucson, AZ for inspo on the mountain you built. Windy Vista is a popular outlook that overlooks the entire city of Tucson from the mountain.

[@maxx1000]

Thank you for showing us the node controller trick of a single node rail crossing at a paralel rode junction.

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

Glad it was helpful!

[@StarStuff.]

This city looks so alive that when you switch between Google earth and the game I always need a couple seconds to adjust. Even the yet to be developed parts feel so real. Loved the use of the crossover train station and the mountain is gorgeous. You could name the mountain Leviathan since we already have a Conduit 😁

[@JamessAviation]

wow! That mountain looks great! you should add some buttes by the airport as those are common in places like Arizona, Utah, Colorado, and Nevada. Ilos is looking better than ever OE!

[@dedubsplays...8284]

That mountain is stunning. Totally looks like it's part of the map. Really nice work.

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

Thank you very much!

[@IsaiahWells]

My favorite part about this series is the mountain. I think you did an absolute job!

[@currently_heather243]

Love the road layout and terraforming! Cant wait for all those new areas to be filled in! :D

[@bricks_and_cities]

Maybe it's time for Egg to become a map builder. 😄 Seriously though, the terrain-work is stunning. I especially love the mountain, along with the wonderful island. I can't wait for what's to come in this new area.

[@ben0329]

I cannot wait to see the next episodes filling this space out! The road and rail networks work so well against that mountain peak! I’d love to see a Stonehenge type build on that peak (perhaps paired with alien coven)

[@laurenj2315]

Finally caught up on this one. Gorgeous mountain work! The Ilos sign, cable cars and mountain road all look really cool too

[@vanmalderen27]

Very happy that Lake Havasu is starting to take shape 🌵 Looking forward to the next build already

[@jaredlash5002]

Holy ambition, batman!

[@nightrider_]

Such a good episode. I love the mountain, lake, trains. What more can an episode have. I know it's such a small detail but I loved that road barrier. This is definitely going to be on one of my favourite episodes of Ilos.

[@kingofmashedpotatoes]

Stunning build OE, can't believe (Margrid? Margaret?) mountain wasn't there from the first episode!! An observatory or some kind of viewpoint on the top and I'm packing my bags and moving there with a tent tomorrow 😁😁. Also, I agree with everything in EMB's comment (garden/uni/archeology/zoo), they'd all look great! Excited for more new Ilos views!!

[@kfckillie1]

Even if I played CS on PC I know for fact my imagination couldn't get me anywhere near Ilos. Just another stunning episode. I tell you it's my soap opera....😃😃😃

[@apaku]

Awesome planning episode, so much to learn from - I think I'll need to view this a couple more times. The mountain looks absolutely amazing and fits in very well with the surroundings. It's a nice point of interest in the flat area. Looking forward to the next episodes filling all these new areas.

[@Fr3DDy73]

@overchargeedegg u should absolutely build a wieving spot along the mountain road; some small clearing where 3/4 cars can stop and maybe a little indian shack to sell to tourists! This summer i traveled beetween Nevada, Arizona and Utah and its so typical to find these places!

[@frenchfriar]

I'm not sure what assets are available, but it might be nice to have some abandoned buildings on the mountain to represent an abandoned gold/silver mine. The area looks fantastic! Love that two-layer station. The rail work looks amazing.

[@RossHicks]

Really enjoyed this! Great to see the road network being built and as for that rail network... OOOOOF! Can't wait to see the rest of this build. Ps: Those double barriers on the mountain was like magic! 🤯

[@markrochford7252]

Real nice. Excellent handy work on the landscaping, brilliant to see Ilos evolve. 🌵🌵🌵 Please would you have a think about removing the half mile stretch of river closest to the mountains 🙏🏽 It looks awesome but a little odd with the river splitting so often, between two rivers. Or give the island some sculpted height and suggest the river has cut a rock arch? Obviously the awesomeness far outweighs the oddity. I might be alone in seeing that but hopefully not the only one seeing Cyril Sneer from The Raccoons on the thumbnail! The new mountain is his mouth and cigar 🤣🤣

[@Daxtoe]

Man I would love to take a drive on that mountain road at sunset.. What a fantastic view it must be!

[@TooOldForML]

Fantastic as always dude, Ilos forever ❤

[@johnnymcleod4003]

So many points of interest you created today. I’m loving this series!

[@benjaminklein249]

The new development next to the side of the mountain makes me think of Palm Springs. Any chance you would consider drawing inspiration from there. Lots of gated communities enclosing golf courses.

[@dark_unicorn137]

Great job! Such a neat city design. It really feels like an actual place.

[@AhrisOsman]

That sprawl 😍

[@howlingwulfe5995]

Name suggestion for your lake... Lake Ilos, with its own lake monster, Lossy. Released secretly from Area 51 and trying to be recaptured by the alien! Just an idea with a bit of Ilos lore.

[@ianfish324]

Another amazing project sir egg can't wait to see it all comes together 👍👍 well in great job ❤❤

[@twocflyer7520]

Wow, Egg.... never ceases to amaze me what you are capable of. Mountain crafting now added to the list. Such a beautiful addition to Ilos! can't wait to see what you fill all the spaces up with! I'd call the mountain Turtle Ridge and the lake Needles Lake or Lake Needles.

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

Thank you, TwoC

[@R0ckybawlboa]

Awesome build, looking forward to the next video!

[@TrainTrackToby]

that lake might be a good place to have your fishing industry

[@ben0329]

I’ve only just finished the intro and that node work on the railways looks spicy

[@ben0329]

I was not disappointed!

[@jordanyoung7326]

Another great episode! The Mountain looks great, and the island sort of looks like Australia. Haha. As usual some great wizardry OE.

[@jcosunshine]

An expensive development called Margaret Hills would be cool!

[@joelmessner7163]

My humble suggestion…Lake Havilosu. The city is looking better and better every episode.

[@kendaiplays9172]

So, when are you going to treat us to making a map, Egg? You've got terraforming down pat! 😂

[@a.s.03]

You are an artist egg. So good. 👏

[@NateClay]

Fantastic video dog! Seen a few of your recents, what's that intro song btw? Love it!

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

Thanks bro! It's called we dream by day 😌

[@rbursell1]

Nice one sir

[@brendotheoffendo]

4:35 That's MY House!

[@justinolney1750]

That mountain looks amazing!

[@Starmanw422007]

good evening OE from Allenstown, NH, long time no speak from that is.

[@vegastjg]

maybe someday you'll put a hotel at the top of a mountain overlooking the city with a cool waterfall next to it that runs into a river

[@OpenMindet]

Yes Margatet Hills for the rich an famous.... and aliens :)

[@thomaskelly5318]

Incredible, just discovered this series and I'm gonna binge all of it. I'm sure you've been asked before, but what are you settings/mods for the lighting specifically? I've never seen a mod that adds the actual sun in, all I see are the sun shafts.

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

RelightWarm and the theme will affect the way your sky looks 😌 enjoy the series!

[@E6GSY]

As always. Another great build ❤️

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

Thank you E6 😊❤️

[@stevenwalravens4220]

Hey, for the canals. Can you do a portion like this? Canal-trees-bike/foot path-trees-little industry or low commercial and call that little zone Hunters Way. Thx for you amazing content!

[@rachelsu5307]

It looks like either Apple Valley or Victorville, CA

[@WhiskeyHunterVAT69]

so so good. 👍👍

[@kfckillie1]

Put lights in the lake, the ones you used before in Ilos. Just a little detail only seen at night...

[@bearnecessities9568]

Call it Lake Letsbeavinu XD (one for the football fans and only semi serious of course :P )

[@michastrzelczyk7224]

People demand a cave!!!Pls build a cave Egg :D

[@Greeno85]

Gross suggestion, but you could pump raw sewage into the lake and call it Lake Haveapoo

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

lmao

[@Greeno85]

Name suggestion: Iloasis

[@thomasbaker6757]

Could you do an energy supply tier list to show what power production buildings are good or not

[@tomhoste9973]

You could make a old fort on the island or old native American reservation?

[@walruwus9200]

Hello. I looked at your build. I saw that there were no Move it, as well as mods for changing transport. Did you not add them because the new version ruined everything and the mod was not updated or for other reasons? thanks a lot

[@EricNicholsdesign]

Should the lake be named Lake Ilosu?

[@bblair130391]

Has to be Lake Flacid

[@ClareFlack]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@arutha613]

My mind has wondered a little - this may have already been answered but I’ve missed it Is Jerry the cop or the horse? Are they both corrupt? If not, is the other undercover working as an informant? Are either of them retiring soon? ( cos you know they’ll get shot )

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

We can discuss that on a livestream lmao

[@e.m.b.5090]

Jerry is the cop, the horse is called Legend. But it's a moot point since they are actually a single entity anway

[@jcosunshine]

I love this question so much. Gerry is the cop, Legend is the horse, and they've been cloned by the aliens

[@arutha613]

@@e.m.b.5090 now the thought of them as a single entity is fine for prop count but worries me at a biological level lol

[@briancameron5177]

Lake Haveasip

[@blizzyburgandy]

can you make the ILOS sign just a little larger @55:04

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

You can but you need procedural Objects mod, which is one I play without :(

[@jackzybutz]

Can you not delete all the nodes on long stretches of road?

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

You cannot, the AI uses nodes to path find and switch lanes, you do need some. Removing all of them kills the AI and they can now longer drive on that road
