Landscaping a Natural-Looking Mountain Layout | Cities: Skylines NO MODS - Design and Manage S2E16

Landscaping tips, vanilla terraforming and hill-billy home building. This is part 16 of the second season of my unmodded Cities: Skylines let's play series - Design and Manage: “Building a Natural-Looking Mountain Layout".
Cities: Skylines is a city-building game developed by Colossal Order and published by Paradox Interactive.
Copyright © 2020 Paradox Interactive AB. www.paradoxplaza.com
About this series: bit.ly/t4r-DM2
'Design and Manage' is a Cities: Skylines let's play series that focuses on what are for me two core aspects of the game: Design (eye candy, aesthetically pleasing layouts, road systems and districts) and Management (earning a positive income while providing all necessary services to maintain a functional city and a healthy traffic flow).
The only mods used in this series are visual enhancements.
Map: Murky Coast (Campus DLC).
Main DLCs installed: After Dark, Snowfall, Natural Disasters, Mass Transit, Green Cities, Parklife, Industries, Campus, Sunset Harbor.

I’m 2 years late but absolutely loving your series! Gonna watch your newer series after finishing this one. Great build! Made me kinda envy yall for being able to play this game🥲

[@Bigbadbenji2008]

Such a shame Paradox interactive never got their act together and allowed the creation of lakes and rivers without the use of a water outflow. This area would really come to life with a river or lake.

[@krasnamerah1926]

Whelp, one alternative is to dump the cleaned sewage water there (especially if you already have Eco Water Treatment Plant), the other is to directly make a river/canal to connect the lake to the main body of water.

[@ReptilianLaserbeam]

at least artificial lakes; artificial rivers are more like canals so we already got that.

[@SpecterNeverSpectator]

You can use the thing that disposes of the extra water you have, it's completely clean water and it doesn't really go slow, and I you have the money to make a bunch of pumps you can even make a river, it won't look that good but still, also you could use mods.

[@hoobie360]

Have you ever heard of our lord and savior "Extra Landscaping Tools?"

[@Khaktos]

That terrain trick is so cool. I hope that I can replicate something like that in my city

[@jeandelaloza4317]

Hey T4rget, I love this series! Keep making beautiful cities! One tiny thing, I think you missed upgrading the tunnel ffom the mountain district to the area near the train station. It was still a two lane road instead of a two lane highway. Also, I would suggest a district policy for banning heavy traffic, to keep the industrial trucks off the new district. That way they don't cut through to get to the city

[@JAguirreMartin]

Suddenly you all are native English speakers. Let T4rget speak as he wants. It is not an English class, it is an Art class

[@freechildlabour.mp3733]

I wouldn’t call English an art.

[@LiqdPT]

Oh boy, the noise from those windmills in the middle of housing...

[@andreasgrill6774]

You and overcharged egg are building in the same map. Would be cool to see you give him a space to build on your map and vice versa!

[@alessasousa13]

Recently I used this map and I completely avoid this mountain because a didn't know what to do with it. Now, seeing you do this perfect village I will have to comeback to that city and re do all off it. It's flawless Target!

[@DoctorStS]

1st class video as usual! I know it's complicated, but still I have a dream of mountain-friendly buildings mechanics that allow plopping and merging into the landscape without completely ruining it (sort of Building Anarchy mod, but with multilevel entrances to the houses). For example from the lower side the residence has an entrance on the ground floor, and from the other side it exits from the 8th floor directly to the street or with the small pedestrian bridge. That should be a great mod bringing so much vivid mountain cities and villages to the game pool... Oh, dreams))

[@frida.7831]

I've been watching your entire Design and Manage series and it has been impacting tremendously not only on cities skylines but in simcity 4 too. Thank you so much!!

[@Muf0n40]

Put observatory in the top of the mountain, near the windmills

[@alisiregar8213]

You know its a serious project when t4rget not using geometry as usual. I believe when t4rget build this layout he think more serious than when he built any kind of complicated interchange

[@swimpower1003]

This always interests me and makes me wonder, with some mods, if actual city designers and engineers could work together in this game to plan out cities with a large degree of freedom

[@svetlana_sidorenko]

I like that you make the most of the proposed landscape without subjecting it to big changes.

[@GuitarGramps]

I like the mountain village section. That was a great use of the elevation markers :)

[@mattheeG13]

Hey t4rget, it might be cool to see if u can fit a cathedral or a palace or something on top of the mountain as a lot of older mountain villages have some sort of fort on the pinacle.

[@Bigbadbenji2008]

Or the observatory! 👍

[@Minty-vo4hm]

or a launch pad for a nuclear missile, to take out Teaville ;)

[@Valanathos]

I always struggle with uneven terrain so this is excellent.

[@nakulkxd]

I watch your videos for your creativity ! its so amazing ... especially putting up the greenary xx

[@_paradise_gaming_007]

Loving it . I watch this 1to 16 in single day..

[@Paxin45]

I love this seriers.

[@TheGoogleScholar]

Super dope build. Perhaps you can use the self sustaining houses for this portion. They look and blend in great with dirt roads, plus the low resource usage would work well with the “old town” theme you have. Just my $.02.

[@zahirbiban9149]

It would look cool with a river/lake anywhere and I can’t wait for the zoning!

[@le0016]

You are some kind of artist. Thank you for sharing this content.

Nice work as always. I did clock a potential issue with trucks from the industrial area cutting through.

[@krasnamerah1926]

"Heavy Traffic Ban" would do the work

[@ReptilianLaserbeam]

@@krasnamerah1926 I was thinking about that policy when those started moving there

[@luizneri]

19:52 the road used to have turn left and turn right lane. Now it seems that one become straight lane and it's causing some traffic to stop

[@Nezodam]

Nice organic work T4rget

[@MaleusMaleficarum]

OMG... i never knew you could do this! LOL

[@DRAHNNE]

I like this new section! I also placed a tiny mountain town here. That spot screams for wind turbines (I put mine in a similar spots).

[@TrIPPwIred41]

do you get to the cloud district very often? oh, what am i saying, of course you don’t.

[@SMKsamuca]

Very Nice layout indeed

[@DevilDemonDogThing]

Everyone else: for the time being t4rget: ¡Por de tambien!

[@pa_alia]

19:25 ouch, a roundabout AND a sharp corner right by a tunnel entrance/exit.. that's an accident hotspot.

[@dannmonteiroo]

Watching this video i realized how i learned with u during the last years. We do things very simillar. Thanks T4rget

[@dejavuonthamic]

Can't wait for zoning!

[@MichaelTavares]

Liked before watching coz I know it’s gonna be good!

[@MaleusMaleficarum]

This build is begging to use the Cable Cars!

[@georgetzi7160]

Nice!

[@Helegorn]

Hi T4rget. You have one way road leading to the recycling facilities but I think that one piece of this road is actually two way (on the junction with the road to the mountain district). I've spotted this because there is an additional pedestrian crossing right next to the junction. Anyway, I enjoy your videos :-) I think I spend more time on watching them than on playing CS by myself :-D

[@PauxloE]

For detailing, you might want to put a dirt foot path near your wind turbines on the mountain (those which are not on the road), as a service access.

[@zairev3438]

Hey, looks great, but i would remove some of the shorter roads and some connections, because after upgrade to asphalt roads they get wider, therefore gaps get smaller even more, which doesnt look much "old-towney". Old towns ussually have some longer "arms" stretching away from the center.

[@prva9347]

Wise to do it as a separate district AFTER growing your main city. I once did a similar rural district, for posh residents in a scenic area, but made the mistake of trying to grow it at the same time as my main district. Cims prefer to be in a bustling urban area with lots of facilities and tons of transport (and night life?).

[@dashboardfairy]

Niceeee! Love how organic the mountain village looks! Can I suggest adding a little creek with tiny water areas somewhere on the mountain? Maybe add a little church too?

[@Helegorn]

I don't think you'd find a little church in vanilla game... ;-)

[@dashboardfairy]

@@Helegorn Churches are assets, not mods :)

[@qarenieljoysonriryantou1290]

Sir have you ever go to a mountain village? Every slope is natural (based on experience).

[@Dark__Thoughts]

I feel this would have been a good location for Cul de Sacs instead of grids.

[@riffraff203]

Nice but who want to live that close to a wind power plant. My parents has several like 30km away and you can here them.

[@mntieboy]

90 degree turns like that don't occur in tunnels irl, that wouldn't end well

[@Phe_]

Me at 1 am: I need to sleep T4rget’s videos: just 25 minutes please? Me 3 hours later: “just one more video...” It was in fact, not one video.

[@freechildlabour.mp3733]

Nah shit

[@enzovillano4141]

Much better

[@Salsuero]

Sure, let's just put a sharp 90º bend underground and an intersection right as you enter/exit the tunnel. What could go wrong? For someone who says repeatedly that you want "realistic" in this episode... 🤷 And, speaking of realism... you made one of the highest-value areas on your map a low-education district. Those people shouldn't be able to afford to live in that part of the map. Those mountains should be reserved for wealthy people. Oh well. Just my 2¢.

[@FMJellico]

Isn't this area is where your oil is located? Or am I off by a hill? Still great work though, looking forward to whats next!

[@svetlana_sidorenko]

I propose to name the area of "​​Beverly Tadema Hills" :-)

[@paquirosd]

Suddenly you made a favela

I don't know if Target has already answered this but: does he have any plans for specialised industries in this season?

Does "Schools out" have much effect on elementary schools? I hope that children young enough to go to elementary school aren't being sent out to work in the factories, this is the 21st century after all! 🤣

Isn't industry 4.0 a better policy than school's out?

[@tsunaahm3814]

[@SoftNoize]

I love how you designed the roads and slopes, but I think that the windmills on top of the mountain really ruin the look of the village and of the entire city, as you can see them from any area. I would love to see a nice observatory or a beautiful monument on top, not these ugly and noisy power generating fans.
