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!

[@michaelw6222]

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

[@fewcandy]

Thank you Michael!

[@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!

[@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!

[@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

[@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!

[@ClareFlack]

😊😊😊 loved this first episode and look forward to more.

[@fewcandy]

Thanks Clare ❤

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!

[@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...!!

[@DoomerCreatine]

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

[@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!

[@sarahb9070]

Great new city, love that your detailing talent can now shine in CS2.

[@jamescreasey6118]

Few this video has finally put me at the point to purchase the game and start playing. Even though the assets are not there yet. They will come. 🎉

[@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.

[@RyanBabic-wx3io]

I totally love the way you make things tastefully grotty!

[@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!

[@sergiofasano92]

Soooooo excited for this series!!!! Can’t wait for more! It’s looking awesome!

[@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!

[@fewcandy]

Thank you Heather!

[@gregorydeckelman4262]

Nice start!! Name suggestion: Seaside Few'ord (pronounced fiord >>> as in a scandinavian fiord) New Zealand has Fiordland, so I guess Few'ordland or Seaside Few'ordland

[@DawnClark-wj9ix]

Really awesome what you have shared with us! Thank you!

[@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.

[@stevekirkby6570]

Awesome and you managed to not go broke!

[@fewcandy]

Only just! Time will tell haha!

[@JA-yz7by]

Yaaay ! A fresh city !! so excited :)

[@edwardbickford8277]

I agree with the others. This is a great start for a new city. 😁

[@fewcandy]

Thank you Edward, glad you enjoyed it!

[@dannymitchell5768]

My name submission is Fewquay Varina. There is a town in North Carolina called Fuquay Varina so it's a play on that.

[@connorschinner9967]

Name Suggestion: New Atlantis

[@piccana_]

Great start! Looking forward to this series 😊👍

[@fewcandy]

Thanks Piccana!

Loved that little pocket park! Name: Ocean Fews

Thanks abc!

[@andrewd2212]

Nicely done. Silly question - Did you do all in the video in one go (you had no crashes)?

[@fewcandy]

Yep didn't have a single crash recording this whole ep. Definitely recommend using Skyve to check your mod list and make sure there's nothing out of date in there!

[@slimgoodman]

happy to be here

[@maxen4444]

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!

[@maxen4444]

​@@fewcandyLooking at the map again, there's been a few updates to the rail line so maybe it's been fixed

[@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).

[@fewcandy]

Aww haha thank you! Yep I just can’t dump it in the oceans!

[@kenbollion1516]

Love this. Any option to share all the mods you're using during this build?

[@fewcandy]

Thank you! I've now listed them in the description of this video, and pinned the list with all the links in my discord if you are there. Hope that helps!

[@NicolasdeFontenay]

I lost a ton of money until I got to about 9K citizens then suddenly I started making money. I had to increase taxes to 12% and reduce services to outside my comfort zone for a bit. But then again I guess it works. I used tools I normally don't.

[@1322lexi]

Name suggestion Fewladelphia

[@fewcandy]

Great suggestion! Thank you!

[@benposthumus4076]

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

[@TangerineUnicornDesign]

"And here, I will build a giant lake for all the poo!" It's what all new cities do I think. 🤣😂🤣

[@fewcandy]

😂😂

[@hakizuri]

In order to be able to use assets from findit, do we need to colorize our zoning area? the building will not demolish once we hit play? Anything we need to enable to allow assets from findit to grow or at least not demolished?

[@fewcandy]

You’ll want the mod plop the growables, this allows you to plop buildings outside of zoning squares or zoned areas, it also locks the levels of the buildings if you wish so the assets don’t change appearance. You can plop directly from find it without it but you’d have to make sure it’s plopped into the correct zone type and they will often disappear or change!

[@jrw0707]

If I spend 1500 on a new PC how will C2 run and what components should I focus on?

[@southside2459]

2:20 City name: Creaston

[@angelsdancing7311]

Name suggestion: Fewport Keys ⚓

[@fewcandy]

Love that! Thank you

[@robbell8377]

Will the house you placed with FindIt! (around the 14 min mark) level up? If they're not populated will they become abandoned and collapse too?

[@fewcandy]

No, plop the growables fixes the level and therefore appearance, so no levelling up! I’ve not noticed houses collapsing or becoming abandoned, if someone moves out the building usually remains! But I’m not 100% sure if that is always the case!

[@pidginmac]

For a name: Fewlanta ? Fewlantis ? Fewlantic City/Bay ? Fewbanks Fewlaska ? Ok I’m done 😂

[@fewcandy]

Great suggestions! Love these! Thank you!

[@thereal_mikegnorp]

A new city in cs2 is great. Please don't make the rail turn so sharp into the city. That's not really realistic.

[@darrenberkey7017]

Not what I was hoping for. I'd really like to learn how to play this game without ANY mods. :(

[@user-wq9mw2xz3j]

"economy 2.0" 😂

[@S3RPENT0R]

There isn't any info on the eco. Just you landscaping and your money goes from red to green. This doesn't help new players really.

[@fewcandy]

I show every time I change taxes or adjust the budget in any way, and talk about it, not sure what else you’d want me to show given it’s a very early city with 2k population and barely any services?! I do also explain in the intro the positioning of this series which is that it is detail design heavy…

[@frogsfrogsx]

Probbably because of mods or additional assets

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

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

[@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.

[@katie_weedon03]

Wow Few! What an amazing start to this new series! I can't wait for the next ep! 😊😊😊😊

[@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!

You can no longer be a casual player after 2.0. It's insanely hard now. 😫

[@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!

[@fewcandy]

Thank you!

[@noralakos746]

I’ve downloaded the mods that you listed and my UI disappeared. I’ve tried to use the shortcut to get it back, but no luck at all. Do you have any idea which mod can cause this please? I am using nvidia GeForce now, so it can’t be a system issue I think.

[@fewcandy]

None of the mods in my list are known to have issues, however a lot of people are having issues as old mods which have been subbed to still have local files saved which are causing issues. Go to C:\\Users\[Your User name]\AppData\LocalLow\Colossal Order\Cities Skylines II and remove any folders for mods you aren't using any more in all of the folders with 'mod' in. Gooee is a bit culprit to this from what I've heard. Hope this helps!

[@JanStuivenberg2810]

Same problem here. After the economy update the mods won't show up in game and I have an activce playlist. Strangely enough some keybinds, like ctrl-a for Anarchy, stil works. 😮😮

[@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 ^^

I wanted to ask if you know how many towns you would make on this map. I would like one to be named Rico city named after my dog 😅 and for it to be a farmland town. Rico means rich in Spanish, so it would be named Rich City for the soil and crops.

[@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!

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.

i recently found out you can get almost 20 more fps by closing water animation in the dev tools. even more suprising is nothing changes visually when you make it zero. the sad thing is when time passes it returns to 1x speed and fps drops again. please try this and you will get the idea. i am trying to find a solution to this problem help me
