Super realistic Sawmill for my LEGO City!

[@AchillesXAtlas]

A city like that with a thriving downtown and historic district usually has an industrial district somewhat further away that provides the main income of the town. The sawmill is a start, but maybe some other industries would work as well in that area

[@upsill]

A stone quarry maybe ?

[@goldenghostinc]

A beer brewery is an absolute must. And I think a steel mill would be great.

[@arsadorap3619]

Mining industry or construction of a Mega project

[@timesnewlogan2032]

@@goldenghostinc Ooh, and they could have a hopper car full of grain to transport from the fields to the brewery! And a meat packing plant, where cattle are delivered after being driven to the tracks in the Wild West part of the layout. Then the meat and beer is delivered to the local restaurants and taverns.

[@HeresTony]

Maybe something like advanced industries like a car factory. Though that might require too much space, but it's more like an example of a type of industry.

[@ash7324]

An industrial district building on the style of the sawmill could fit well in the free space. Industrial estates tend to be close to logistics hubs like airports and it’s common for them to have dedicated railway sidings for loading goods. It could be a nice way to resolve the transition between the aesthetic of the village and the airport and it’d be a chance to put in a goods freight station rather than a regular train station.

[@danielfindley6931]

It would also open up the possibility to having a freight part of the airport, including a transfer station from the trains to the airport.

[@ash7324]

[@nicknackproductions9023]

Maybe a summer camp for kids with different activities such as climbing, canoeing etc in that empty area. Some wood cabins would look really nice too

[@AlonsoFan2023]

A good idea, but something like this is rather rare in Europe. Such summer camps for children are more of an American thing as far as I know. That doesn't quite fit in with the concept of a European city.

[@yuiop271]

I think an old university would look cool. It would keep the theme of the town and castle, and it’s conveniently close to the airport.

[@allenm1024]

That flickering effect for the graveyard candles made me extremely happy. Such beautiful storybuilding.

[@kevinvodochodsky]

I agree with most people that an industrial park mixed with a logistics company would be great for that empty space. I do like some of the recreational ideas. You could almost have a little camping scene near the castle area with some people sleeping in tents or have a camper set up around a camp site.

[@lDarkhorsel]

This channel deserves at least 4x the subs that it currently has. You and your brother are amazing! The creativity, planning, organization, and meticulous attention to detail that you two bring to the table is just breathtaking. And then when one takes into account the enormous scale of this project, it's almost unbelievable how well executed this is.

[@mlalbaitero]

You should add the hypothetical delivery truck to the sawmill assuming that's not planned

[@fenix-legends21]

[@Hellomrmem]

@@fenix-legends21 that isn’t transporting any of the planks nor does it have any train cars suitable for it

[@JangoF12b]

The pipe work on the outside of the sawmill is amazing. Really gives a lot of life and lots of nice detail. And not to mention the Golden 2x4 in the church, lovely little hidden Golden brick.

[@vrijegeest512]

I would change the bark/sawdust to the same color as the stems because that’s the color of the bark (they don’t remove wood with that machine so no light sawdust).

[@SirCavas]

In the German video, he said he considers changing it to a darker color

[@jeffrussell5076]

1. Now that you have a functional bell, it would be cool to have a functioning clock on the tower, and the bell rings on the hour. 2. A truck driving through town with the finished wood would be a nice story telling element. 3. In the new area, a lake with a nice hotel or resort would be nice. The water could go all the way to the edge to show that this is the end of the area.

[@boredguy1297]

Since you have the sawmill, why not make a whole industry area? You make a petroleum refinery, or a gasworks factory, that would be really cool

[@nawalelabbassi7509]

industrial idea is cool!!!

[@cyrielmessiaen]

I think on the other side of the airport is a better place

[@Vimek_Xol]

I agree with a lot of the other commenters. An industrial district would be really cool and allow you to flex your gribbling skills! Somewhere in the forest, you could also have a mini story of a camp site, that could be nice!

[@ianhoyt2638]

Nice work on the sawmill, it's surprisingly accurate. My father and grandfather used to work in a mill, I would love to see someone sweeping up excess sawdust or bark chips off of the floor. It would be a cool realistic detail!

[@yonatanrozenberg6378]

Here are some ideas for the empty space: 1. you shoud build there a big lake and have there a small B&B as well as a train station. In the lake it self you can build some fishing boats or even The Loch Ness Monster! 2. It will be very cool if you built a rocket launch pad in your Lego city in the empty space next to the airport, it will be very cool to see two major peojects connecting together! And by the way I think you should put a train station right next to the terminal like there are in many airports around the world to make it more convenient for tourists and residents to move around the city.

[@hunterwatts1478]

Fantastic ideas!

[@nawalelabbassi7509]

[@nikomaker1661]

😎👍I really liked the sawmill and I think it would look better if the crane was closer to the pile of logs.

[@BogusNoise]

This was my thought too, looked like it wouldn't be able to reach the farther away logs. Great update as always though!

[@S4B3R117]

It would be cool to see bigger trees, signifying old growth. You could also sprinkle them through the rest of the forested areas to add more variety, especially if there is logging going on. Those logs at 3:24 have to come from somewhere, after all

[@chrisdunham2911]

Honestly, i must say that i have such a good time watching your videos that i even watch Bob Brickman even though I do not speak German.

Kinda nitpicky, but you should add a siding to the sawmill so that when logs are unloaded, the train doesn't block the main line.

@@konanhuet623no it’s not? Those 2 tracks are the main line.

[@unavoidablycanadian397]

What an amazing build. The pipes look very good on the outside of the saw mill. I think having an outdoor Ariel adventure and/or paintball park would be fun to add to the city. It's something different and colorful.

[@WyattThePilotYT]

An important part for any log storage is sprinkler systems. It keeps the logs damp and protects and prepares them for cutting. And an inspector. Often mills are independent from the logging crews. So there is an independent third party that inspects the wood and says it worth. So it’s not bias to the mill or the logging company. I live in the US pacific NW. A lot of logging over here. So just some ideas for a bit of realism

[@shmul2337]

I think that maybe adding some sawdust lying around inside the sawmill would add some realism as vacuums never pick up every particle of sawdust. Love the build though! Keep up the great building and videos!

[@mecrusher4492]

I think it would be really cool to see a turn table in the unfinished area. It would take up most of the area yes but it would give a really nice way to display the locomotives you have!

[@ethanrose-mr4eu]

You can have an oil facility in the back of the room where the track splits and ends. You could also have more scenery depth by making the elevation drop and have a river there. there could be a train bridge that crosses the river and the river leads out to the ocean.

I know it sounds out of place, considering the Austrian themed buildings, but it would be really cool if you added a football stadium in the empty corner besides the airport.

In addition, the lighting of the stadium would really create a lively effect to the city. Keep the good work up!

Some power plant or coal factory/wind turbines could be nice too. Maybe a return module from the lunar base that would have landed in the forest.

I love the churchbell! For the sound, maybe you could set it up to reflect the hour of the day (you know, the classic 1 chime for 1 PM, 2 for 2 PM etc). However, if you are going for a sound that plays more frequently for the museum you could also just have it go off once or twice per day/night cycle. Amazing stuff! I love how the village is coming together and the interconnectedness of the stories being told. Can't wait for the inevitable logging camp to explain where the logs are coming from! (I'd maybe put that in the empty space, could build some bigger trees that are being cut down for the sawmill!) Can't wait to see where it all goes next!
