Starting a City (& Planning for Longevity) in Cities Skylines 2!

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

Great start Few! So good to see this back as a legit play style! 😁👍

[@fewcandy]

Thanks Egg!

[@BOB123-fy5lf]

Hi Overcharged Big Fan

[@ClaretHorace]

So happy you're plopping rather than zoning. Cities look so much better that way. This is the first CS2 series I think I'll enjoy as much as modded CS1 builds.

[@fewcandy]

Aww thank you!! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@ronathebear]

I’ve been hoping for content like this since CS2 was released. I’m so happy that detailing is now finally possible. Looking forward to seeing the city progress and grow 😍 This is going to be absolutely amazing!!!

[@fewcandy]

Thank you!! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@erichinrikus4104]

I dont usually comment on videos, But I had to say, This was one of the best skylines videos ive ever watched. I love your play style, and relaxed tone. Great video!

[@fewcandy]

Thank you so much! Appreciate the comment and glad you enjoyed the video!

[@freyastears]

I can't believe how incredibly nice your detailing looks! I wish I had the patience and motivation for so much detailing

[@fewcandy]

Aww thank you ☺️

[@_nocto_]

Fab! Fewhaven was the name that came to my mind with the waterfront industrial start.

[@fewcandy]

Great suggestion! Thank you!

[@JakeDruid]

Really great episode! Love the look of the city centre. One little suggestion: the small triangle plaza with the little fountain needs some shade for the pedestrians sitting on the benches, maybe adding a tree would be cool.

[@michaelw6222]

Can't say enough good things about this episode. Awesome start!

[@fewcandy]

Thank you Michael!

[@sully_skylines]

Great episode Few, excited to see the city develop in future 😊

[@fewcandy]

Thank you Sully! So much of a better game for me with all your amazing assets, thank you!

[@SpainSpace]

The little corner park at 55:00 is SO chill, I love it. I enjoy watching your detailings.

[@nealjroberts4050]

Pacific Northwest and the economy patch? Has to be Fewattle, home of Fewbucks coffee 😉

[@fewcandy]

Love that! Thank you!

[@joenuts5167]

@@fewcandydo Portland

[@nealjroberts4050]

@@fewcandy No worries. Struggling to think of a decent name for the town though. Fewget (Puget) Sound would suit a later peninsula one though.

[@jasonlescalleet5611]

Yeah! “Fewget Sound” is great!

[@excromospherae]

“Fewbucks” is a very fitting name for the coffee shop considering the economy 2.0 patch 😉

[@ben0329]

Name suggestion: Port St. FewC (taking the Floridian town of Port St. Lucie)

[@fewcandy]

Love that! Thank you Ben!

[@bjroo]

I feel like making it Port St. Fewcie would be better

[@tigonologdring9189]

Rather than using MoveIt to try and align stuff, you can simply click parking lots (or anything) and then just shift along whichever axis you want... just hit the asterisk to make sure you're transforming the position relative to itself and not the rest of the map. Oh, and that thing you were looking for early on at the junction: hold ALT in manipulation mode to keep the nodes sliding along their existing track. Futility Bay? Given the Economy 2.0 tile costs? Or rather Fewtility Bay of course... Lovely to see the Mistress of Detailing back too! Yay!

[@fewcandy]

Ooo thanks Tigon!

[@maytt07]

Awesome start to the city, congrats :) I have suggestions for the rail line. The main problem is the curve is tight alongside willow street, to be more realistic it needs to be less sharp. My idea is keep it for now and turn it into a Light Rail Line in future when the city is more built out. A light rail line would be tramway with perhaps on street running in the downtown. Because the line has it's own right of way, so no road traffic to hold it up. The area used by the train station could be a tram loop stop, and another stop along willow street up by cherry street. I would make this section in a cutting to go under cherry street and have the stop as a sunken station. where the line joins up with the main railway line over by the river , have a custom train station and tram stop.

[@maytt07]

Checking the video again i noticed Daffodil street connecting to willow street. you could keep the light rail line at surface level as is, this could cause traffic issues in future. i recommend to go under daffodil street in a cutting, got 200m + for the line to drop down from train station/tram loop area. Also i suggest having light rail stops no closer then 300 meters, less close then normal on street tram stops, to make travel faster and further then a normal tram line, making it more like a metro, which is why it's called a light rail line. A tram car is shorter then a normal train car, so tighter curves are more realistic and easier.

[@fewcandy]

Thank you, converting it to light rail is a good shout!

[@nathanwheldonmusic]

We NEED episode 2, Candy!!!!

[@fewcandy]

Coming tomorrow!

[@nathanwheldonmusic]

@@fewcandy thank god! My current 2.0 build is heavily based on this build and your advice. Love your work. One of the best CS2 (and CS1) content creators on the planet. Yourself, City Planners Plays, OE and Infrastructurist are the only builders I watch ❤️

[@AnonymousNetizen-be6ww]

I'm really enjoying this new build and the mix of management and detailing! I suggest you name your city Vanfewver, because Vancouver is the largest city in British Columbia, which the map is based on. It could be a source of urban-planning inspiration as well (look up 'Vancouverism').

[@fewcandy]

Love this! Thank you!

[@mikestringfellow7999]

I love this! It makes me want to pick up CS2 again! I hope you keep the sewage pond once you’ve unlocked the waste treatment plant. Once the waste pipe is gone and a few paths are added, Chit Shute National Park can be born!

[@fewcandy]

Omg I love that, definitely being written into the lore! Thank you!

[@Cadguy9977]

So glad you are back to creating CS2 videos with mods and your affinity for super detailed builds. Love your content. Looking forward to this series.

[@fewcandy]

Thank you!

[@bjroo]

You could call it Fewbelle City. It’s not based off a real city but i think it sounds nice. And the slogan can be The Belle of the Bay

[@NomisTowns]

Great start to the city! Love to see what you can with all the mods now, it is definitely a different game to what it was at launch now!

[@fewcandy]

Huge difference! Thanks Nomis!

[@RheaSpark]

City name PNW theme - Spokandy

[@paulraymond1357]

really enjoyed this well done looking forward to ""Skidmark Scapyard" being ddesigned.

[@fewcandy]

Haha thanks Paul! Might even get into that in ep 2...!!

[@apaku]

Very nice start to a new city. I love that small custom park/playground and the walkway along the shoreline. Nice to see you back in CS2 and finally having all the tools you need to make amazing builds.

[@fewcandy]

Thanks apaku! It's good to be back in CS2!

[@dandomine]

I sorely need Colossal to bring the fishing industry into CS2. Even if it's just for the boats. It would have been perfect for your waterfront, as I can perfectly imagine that this town started as a fishing village. On the other hand, I love what you did even if my inner architect tried to ignore the very short distances between some buildings, especially the apartment blocks. My mind would be at peace with at least a tile between them. ;) But I really like the feel of your little town and the dedication you put into all the details!

[@E6GSY]

Great start to a new city ❤

[@fewcandy]

Thank you E6! ❤ Fancy giving it a go now?!

[@E6GSY]

@@fewcandy I think so yea. Gunna grab it at the weekend and have a play around. Thanks for the convincing

[@PilotBuildsCities]

Great new city Few! Excited to see the whole series!

[@fewcandy]

Thanks Pilot!

[@solidXxXtuna]

So happy to see you come back to CS2 and excited about this build after a great start! Even though this is supposed to be an NA build, the waterside location makes me vote for Cannesdy. Could be on some stretch of mythical land called the American Riviera instead of the original French one.

[@gidrodavid6363]

Been away from your chanel for a while, but I have to say, that Im hooked again. You never fail to amaze me with these bulids, just simply amazing.

[@fewcandy]

Ahh thank you, welcome back!

Learning so much about using Plop the Growables just watching this video! I'm going to change alot about my city I started last night when I get home!

[@jstokes]

That was a treat to watch! I am very excited to see the upcoming episodes. I am looking forward to the hillside neighborhoods and the areas along the river. All so fun!

[@DoomerCreatine]

Just found this playlist and I love your detailing approach. Going to be following along building my own city alongside Fewladelphia!

[@vadmal5210]

This is almost like a commercial for CS2! I didn´t know that they have made such a progress in getting the game more functional. Thanks for #xxxx of your absolutely great urban handling videos!

[@fewcandy]

Aww thank you!

[@mathewadams2929]

Some of the best looking detailing ive seen. Very nice!

[@fewcandy]

Thank you! ☺️

[@ginotizon2052]

Happy to see you start a new city! Love your content! Are you using any visual mods for this new city? Maybe you can do a short vid on graphics settings and mods for this new patch 😊

[@fewcandy]

Thank you! I was using Lumina but it has issues now I believe! So currently no visual mods, but if and when I find one I shall show it!

[@arthurl5280]

I learnt a lot about using mods effectively following you in this episode - many thanks Few

[@Nomihug]

So happy to see you back on SC2 🥰 Loved the start of this city 🏙️

[@joshinio]

This looks SO good. Love it so much. This is starting to look like what I had imagined CS2 would be when it was announced.

[@e-bow]

This was so exciting Few. As one who voted for playing through the milestones I'm so pleased to see the combination of detailing and gameplay. Looking at those mods, I think I'm now convinced to buy 🤗 Names wise - I'm sticking with Genie (for water shape on map) for the wider area. But do very much like the suggestion of Fewhaven in the comments below for this first town. Great start Few!!

[@fewcandy]

Thank you Ebow! Love the name!

[@jimwanshue2376]

Start of a new city is the most exciting part of the game. So much potential, and so much challenge to build a successful city. Sad that Solitude is ending, but always happy to see a new Few city. I'll second both "Fewattle" or "Fewcouver", and throw in "San Fewcisco" for consideration.

[@fewcandy]

Ooo love San Fewcisco! Thank you!

[@Cat-hu8ue]

Loved the start of this city Few!! Finally feels like a series of CS2 I want to watch 😊

[@naitdeth]

Glad to see you back! You seem like you're having fun again :) That custom park blew me away, that was really cool!

Just a heads up for this map. The rail line is messed up. It would probably be best to redraw it.

[@fewcandy]

Oh thank you, I haven't got that far yet so will look out for issues!

[@fewcandy]

Thanks David!!

[@christopherbanner5761]

i love your playthroughs. your voice over is solid and nice. i try to follow along with you to learn the playstyle, maybe do a couple videos on mod downloads (which is boring id assume) but overall great, FewVanilla was, in my opinion, a masterpiece. i already bombed Feworleans by adding a huge residential district on the ridge below the train station, so im here now, with no mods. either way keep on doing your thing man.

[@fewcandy]

Ahh thank you so much!

[@currently_heather243]

Already loving this vibe of detailing and mods FC! I think from above/birds eye view I find CS2 kinda plain, but your detailing up close of the parks, alleys etc is really beautiful. :) First person view makes a huge difference. Love the industrial waterfront design and asset/decoration combo!

Thank you Heather!

The downtown even looks like Philly with how densely packed the buildings are

[@TheKadanz]

42:00 I like using the invisible footpath here with some dupsters and trash bags, I find the regular alleyway road a bit too wacky.

[@jayxenos5131]

I suggest the name incorporates the water location, e.g., something sound, or port, or harbor, or haven.

[@quinlanroche342]

Jughandles? Never heard that term before! Always called them Jersey Turns. Lots of em in Portland so not far off the Pacific Northwest feel

[@jasonlescalleet5611]

Seeing how the smokestacks aren’t built in components of the factories, but spawned in by the game, I wonder if it could be possible to have a mod, perhaps called “No Smoking,” that reduces or eliminates smokestack spawning. There are definitely too many, and they’re too smokey, at least for present day industry that tends to be cleaner than older industry was.

[@fewcandy]

That would be a great mod!

[@mrskinny8555]

Yeh the better bulldozer is OP. Request it be called "Doze it off" when you use it 😂

[@J-Dam]

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for making a poo pit instead of just dumping raw sewage into fresh water. I don't understand why other YTr's don't do this. Even those who are involved with city infrastructure in real life see no issue with dumping diseased waste into the ecosystem. I know it's just a game, but I highly doubt that the Finnish engage in this practice. If the game is going to be about realism, the poop chute has got to go! Again, THANKS! You just earned my subscription (and I don't often subscribe).

[@SpainSpace]

Got a question Few, when using Plop the Growables, how are your settings for the mod in the settings menu? Is every single building's level locked when plopped so they can't upgrade by themselves? I'm trying to replicate the way you do things (I'm learning about these mods at the moment) and it would be super helpful if you showed your settings for each of the mods you have installed on a future episode ^^

[@scottsbaitsandtackle]

You just popped up in my feed. Checked your channel. You say you like these building games. Have you checked out Satisfactory? Excellent building game! You would probably like it. Factorio too! They are factory building games. Farming Simulator is pretty good too, although not a true building game but a lot of fun!

[@fewcandy]

I absolutely love farming sim! Excited for fs25! But never played the other two. Satisfactory does look good though!

[@donnydavinci1772]

A dump as a feature, I love it!

[@SimVanGyseghem]

Great video, loved watching and will definitely watch the rest of the series. Halfway milestone 1 the demand for commercial goes away and it doesn't come back until about milestone 8. Looks like every new city has this issue, which is super annoying. Has anyone found a solution?

[@fewcandy]

Thank you! No you have to go super slow on commercial zoning now it seems, and lower taxes!
