As a Cities Skylines Switch edition player, this level of construction is far beyond my version capabilities. So I feel the need to watch others do the insane. This was truly a pleasure to watch. Absolutely beautifully made. The the end result is delightful!

Living as I do in the Netherlands, yes, I can imagine that. Does it bother me though? No, not at all. Why would it? Do people living in earthquake-prone countries, or next to volcanoes, worry all day long about those? Or is it just something they've learned to live with?

I live in the Netherlands so I'm used to looking at a wall at the horizon and knowing the North Sea is right behind it, but the height of the walls in this video were something else. I mean, I got anxious just watching at it. And they'd block a lot of sunlight at the start and end of every day (I guess something like living in a Swiss or Austrian valley). People living here would maybe have more mental issues over time.

I've been playing Cities Skylines for years and I never knew you could do the landscaping at 5:12. It also looks like that can be done in Vanilla, as the mod only appears to give you a bigger brush

[@IvanSerestov]

This is an absolutely stunning realisation ! You seem to be very talented and to have an almost perfect knowledge of Cities Skylines' building tools. The city itself looks like a very pleasant place to live, it reminds me of the kind of utopian cities we can see in some futuristic movies or video games - although I would feel a little bit claustrophobic living here, as I don't like sea that much (I am much more happy in my remote town in continental Europe 😂). Well done !

[@rolandaustria7926]

I can imagine the plot: Due to the permafrost melting from global climate change, the air became toxic. Anything above sea level is deadly now. People retreated to underground cities but the earth has become poisoned as well. The last plan to save the remaining of humanity retreated to an underwater city. The modern-day sunken city of Atlantis.

[@PauxloE]

4:43 A hole in the dike? This seems dangerous, even more when there is so much to lose if water goes in. The road should go over the dike. 7:28 For better traffic flow, you would likely have those ramps either join on the other side or have more of a loop (like a trumpet), or both - currently cars going from the arterial to the highway either have to turn left, cross the flow in the other direction, or do a 125° turn when turning right. (And the other way around for cars from the highway to the arterial.)

Delicate road map work； excellent idea. tho i am pretty sure the kids (lives in the city) gonna refer the forrest in the middle as the rapy forrest since the city center would be a ghost town at night. zoning can be improved not just for areal view purpose. still. very good job on the thing. much thumbs up. Also, dutch love their bikes so maybe a dam with bike lane?

Beautiful city and interesting idea. But from a safety standpoint, I would imagine some sort of division with multiple evacuation points to prevent the entire city flooding from one breech.
