[@Infrastructurist]

Great start Tim - very cozy video ☺

[@Timeister]

Thanks man! Your Riverview city is mind blowing! Such a great build!

[@Mrbigmike311]

Another good tip is that commercial zone aren’t suppose to fill an entire street otherwise you will get the not enough customer, just like in real life, you can have a commerce on a corner street and then houses next to it, on a big boulevard I tend to also have 4-5 bossiness next to each other, the game also does a very good job of telling you where most of the shopper are, or where you are lacking. So let’s say if you make a grid of 224meters by 224 make sure to have two commercial zone (one zone is 6x6 or make it a 4x4) and so on, not only is this going to make your cities more realistic but also make the citizen wealthy, as they would walk to the store rather than take their car, and try to make neighborhoods from the start, don’t build a medium density low rent apartments building in an area that are only houses lol, make a ghetto neighborhood preferably close to the industry to make it more realistic!! That’s just me, I try to plan like my job in real life, but you can do whatever you want. Just know that land value impacts rent and when rent is high you have more demand for medium density housing. The game is designed to build large(as compared to CS1 which was to build tall) so don’t be afraid to use your imagination and be like on this area is nice to build townhouse in a row, you don’t need to be grid perfect! Hopes this helps!!

[@Squirrel359]

That really helps actually. Explains why I’m getting low customer popups! Thanks!

[@Timeister]

Who's getting Cities: Skylines 2 today?!

[@cheesetoasties.]

me i have already preloaded it and i cannot wait

[@X_Game2009]

i bought the ultimate is better to be good is my birthday money

[@LiamS-hm4eh]

Not me bc I got ps5 and it is delayed

[@davidhill8565]

I’ll wait for the console version.

[@harunbayar4725]

İs it released on xbox ?

[@canadianmooseplays]

What an amazing start!! You gave me a ton of ideas with this video and I love watching the way you layout infrastructure!

[@akyhne]

40:30 Just wait a little while, and you'll be able to place the mansion at that spot. If you zoom in very closely, you'll probably see a small amount of shimmering of water on the ground. Extending the ground into the river, will just make the problem worse, as every time you do that, water will splash onto the ground. In C:S, this was very visible, not so much in the new game. A nice little trick that I found to be working sometimes, is to save the game, close, then restart. The water resets, at least if the problem is tiny, like in your case.

[@lewisnicolls7933]

Great start. Looking forward to watching it grow.

[@Saku-ws8sv]

I don't usually comment on anything but it's so weird to see you building on the map I live on (Tampere). The existing highways and railroads are inspired by how they really are here as well. The railroad cuts through Tampere and curves to the west just like on this map. The underground highway is also a thing and its exactly where it is in real life. Even the river in the middle flows to the right direction and the little island in the middle of it is also real. It's been really funny to think that I live right next door to where this game was made. I could connect to Colossal Orders wifi from my apartment if I knew their password (obviously not trying) Oh yea lol they obviously made the Finnish summer a thing in Cities Skylines as well. It's always raining sideways

[@AdamZugone]

Oh I bet that would be really interesting to watch. How people design their city in the area that yours is. I would love to have that experience as well 😅

[@vilyarix]

I'm also playing on Tampere and was so confused when it first started raining. Is it snowing? Is it hail? No, it's raining sideways 😂

[@nunnil1655]

I really enjoyed your Dunswell series. Really looking forward to your content for CS2. ❤

[@NJHProductions512]

I cant wait to see this city grow into a major metro area!

[@user-0rang3]

Timeister I love your videos, Keep up the great work! 🎉

[@GibbonHUN]

I'm not that good at it, but I think you do it pretty well. The city looks good too. Keep it up!

[@brettmaddux9243]

In looking at the map, the river (as rivers do) starts at a higher elevation than it ends, which might have been partially to blame for sea walls wanting to be more finicky than on other maps.

[@henriqueferrari258]

Amazing video. Loved it. I also found that bug where you cannot place an item after terraforming the water

[@mattia9777]

Can’t wait for the next episode!

[@Nomihug]

Heh. Saw this vid on how to get perfect grids. You need to turn off snap to existing guidelines and buildings, then you get perfect grids :-)

[@harryrocket1975]

One of the best KZbinrs of city skylines

[@johnrobinson523]

excited to see more!

[@ishan.214]

Exciteddd and a new sub

[@littlebeanman]

Great video would recommend 👍🏻

[@PH03N1X_83]

Maverick is apparently flying passenger jets now @11:14

[@jakebranstad2166]

Love your videos! I just have to know, what’s the song playing at the beginning???

[@davidblanc458]

it looking like south Boston indeed, plop the fort at the end like IRL

[@jonathanramey7492]

Just watching and waiting for launch

[@kamran53789]

That's so good

[@wally9458]

great

[@Mr_Ninguno]

40:30 Just save game and load game again, terraforming problem solved after that :D It's the only workaround I know for that bug.

[@Qualiall1]

ain't gonna lie. I got so frustrated with getting clean zoning from laying out roads--I got frustrated and played CS1. I'll have to keep practicing I guess

[@darklane5082]

Nice city👍

[@synai9156]

How did you manage to create the sea walls? I'm trying but I just fail, tells me that it's in water. Any tips for that? Edit: nevermind, saw the road elevation set to 2,5m

[@Ned_Flanders]

Weird seeing my home city as a map in cities skylines❤

[@Itscatsoham]

It's Mumbai right

[@Boonatix]

The grid patterns are so out of shape... if anyone else has issues, only activate "snap to 90° angles" to align your main grid and be smoother with consistent zoning!

[@Weenee-be9jh]

Crazy that network anarchy is not in the base game they had added a lot of stuff based of mods but forgot on of the most important mods from the first

[@inkaline]

Wohooooo new city, let's goooooo :D

[@OctopolisGaming]

Hi! Great video! I'm using the same map in my City and enjoying a lot. I have a question: I can't go up high in the photo mode in this particular map, but you seem to have figured out how to solve this. Could you share it?

[@Timeister]

Its a bug on this map. CO is working to fix it

[@OctopolisGaming]

@@Timeister but how did you record the cinematic in the verry end?

[@tdewtx]

I like that map, but it isn't in my map packs. Did you get maps for pre show of the game?

[@Timeister]

Its a bonus map you get if you pre-ordered the game.

[@Sc0rpionn]

Hi Timeister do you think i can play cities skylines 2 with a radeon graphic card 5000 series v5 with a 8gb and 64 bit?

[@pit3112]

I doubt it. People on the CS subreddit were complaining how rhe game runs poorly even on generally good PCs, so I'd recommend getting a better GPU and at least 16gB of RAM

[@neilharbott8394]

Castles should be on hills - like utilities should be under the roads 😃

[@MrMniksRB]

no you didn't choose north American city for a Tampere map, you didn't...

[@vaibhavsharma6531]

NICE CONTENT!!! Only thing I would like to add is that avoid 4 way intersections and swap them with T intersections and roundabouts as they handle traffic well.

[@ParanoeX]

Tampere! suomi mainittu!

[@scottsfowler]

Roads have water pipes, you don't need to place additional water pipes for your pump station since you need a road anyway unless you want redundancy...which is good. Also, how is a pump station cheaper than a water tower, makes no sense to me

[@britney_biss]

I was sad to not see any palm trees in the game 😭 those bring me good vibes 🌴🌴🌴

[@patrickbennett439]

The wind is only as constant as farts, so yea, farts never end in the game either.

UI looks super clean

[@user-hf3tj9gp1p]

I would get cities skylines 2, but the only problem being is I don’t have a good laptop😅

(I’m still looking for a laptop)

[@leahlambert5737]

what grid size do you think

can you please share in the description the link to the tutorial you mention at minute 2.50? Thanks

[@outofcontrolgamer9742]

You should turn off clouds, so that you don't get those dark areas on the map!

[@Timeister]

I like that it does that. Its realistic 🙂

[@ScarybaboonGTAGGaming]

Hey theres a tool to make grids

[@fuggelkatten145]

why do i not have the tampere map?

[@amandaruley2151]

Is it on mobile?

[@Mik-us6fl]

Im so amateur lol but how can I get this map?!

[@ThatOneGodzillaGuy2021]

It’s not available on Xbox one rn.

[@sashair]

For those who have a very low FPS, turn off the effects, it will be very high

[@Drimztick08]

Still Saving money to buy the game 😅

[@neofinlandproductions]

I live there in real life

[@psw.t9388]

Lol. You talked about historic building while choosing American style? 😂😂 good luck.

[@LazyWelder69]

Was really excited for the game until I realized my pc won’t run it. Guess I will stick with CS 1

[@infinitehexington]

just wait until the optimization updates

[@ricestrike7937]

@@infinitehexington Its going to be a long time, I have never seen my 4090 pull 420 watts and I play flight sims.

[@YouKnowJus]

i teraformed the water and land to a razor sharp edge however i still cannot create keys. wtf

[@Timeister]

Its pretty tricky. Don't forget to raise your road to 2.5m and I find it works best if you smooth the edge a little bit.

[@HP_Gaming370]

So I’ve started a city and I have two questions. First off, I have about 10,000 people and I’m still loosing a lot of money. Any tips? And in that same city I’ve unlocked both medium density types but I am still only getting low density demand. Literally no medium density demand (along with no commercial or office) Any ideas why?

[@Timeister]

Hmm.. Do you have too many services? Are your taxes too low? Hard to say without seeing your city. But I recommend checking out my tutorial on the official Cities Skylines channel on How To Play Your City where I cover a lot of the game's economics. Hope that helps!

[@HP_Gaming370]

Thank you so much!! I tried deleting some unnecessary services and that helped a bit but still loosing about 5000 an hour. I think I expanded too quickly and I wasn’t strategic with my economic growth. I’ll check out your video right now though! Hopefully it can bring my mess of an economy out of the gutter 😂

[@emmboypro]

can anyone tell me why i can’t play on xbox, i have a gen console but it still won’t let me play even tho i pre-ordered it like 3 months before it came out

[@danielcampbell8947]

Console release has been delayed to spring time

[@emmboypro]

@@danielcampbell8947 thanks, also why has it been delayed?

[@tireks4853]

for me this game in that state it's not worht it. I have Ryzen 7800X3D and RTX 4090 and there is 25 fps with 10k population. Optimalization is mess. Game looks like its released 10 years ago. I lost money, I will try to refund. Disaster.

[@isthatyoursomnomnom]

Meet the new Cities Skylines, same as the old Cities Skylines. The developer has always seemed.. shady.
