Planning the Perfect Industrial Layout! | Cities: Skylines NO MODS - Design and Manage S2E08

Creating the city's main industrial district. This is part 8 of the second season of my unmodded Cities: Skylines let's play series - Design and Manage: “Planning the Perfect Industrial Layout!".
Cities: Skylines is a city-building game developed by Colossal Order and published by Paradox Interactive.

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).
This series is played without mods.
Map: Murky Coast (Campus DLC).
Main DLCs installed: After Dark, Snowfall, Natural Disasters, Mass Transit, Green Cities, Parklife, Industries, Campus, Sunset Harbor.

Season 1 T4RGET : Focus on developing industrial district. The City : MASSIVE DEATH BOOM. Season 2 T4RGET : Focus on developing industrial district. The City : C'mon!! Again?!

Strange the death wave didn't seem to affect his income or pop that much.

[@NorwegianBastard]

[@Bigbadbenji2008]

I think the best thing about your CS series is the fact it’s all unmodded. Too many KZbinrs have gone down the route of going crazy with assets and mods, and it makes it completely unrealistic that people who watch their videos can be inspired to do the same in their own cities. The double trumpet you built, although time and money consuming, will be something I will attempt on console edition. Query about he removal of trees one at a time. Does PC not have the brush feature?

[@krasnamerah1926]

As far as i know, PC version didn't have those bulldozer brushes. The brush are only for zoning. Oh, by the way, i'm agree with you. But it would be better if the devs allowed more than 9 tiles for the city. As for now i use 81Tiles mod. It didn't change anything except number of tiles allowed to be purchased, and the price's keep increasing each tile. Along with more resource density for ore and oil so that those industries didn't ran out of raw materials too quickly. Maybe 75 years with normal rate is enough. Using Infinite Resource (in-game) mod is too far for me.... Oh, First-Person POV Camera is a must. The mod itself is good. I hope the Dev implement those mods into the vanilla game.

[@Bigbadbenji2008]

Alvin Benrick All the vanilla maps on console could do with more than the 9 tiles. Some are pointless to play, because there is not enough land surface to build a decent city on. Funnily, the Console version has both the first person POV and the brush for removing trees in large numbers.

[@ChemySh]

I'm pretty sure vanilla PC has brush feature. I just use the brush to paint trees, set it to any size higher than "single" and right click. So basically same tool you'd use to paint trees over an area, but instead of left-click (which places the trees), you right-click (which will remove trees over an area).

[@Amanda-jx6ci]

Thank you. I be thinking the same thing when I watch them videos. I look for no mod videos.

[@morsecode5078]

Agree. The KZbinrs who use tons of mods and assets are just showing off. Impressive? I guess. Helpful? No.

[@egzefer_]

Before you moved the garbage processing from the end of the layout to next to the roundabouts, those roundabouts weren't needed at all. Unless the idea was to expand over that direction as well, simply replacing them with straight roads would be enough. As for the garbage processing, all they needed was a dedicated highway access, so that they didn't need to go through the industry area. The fist position for garbage processing was quite nicer, IMO. Anyway... Road layout, train layout, and the area itself, are amazing. I love how much you can accomplish with vanilla :D

[@peperoni3140]

if you observe the truck traffic in and out of the cargo terminal, trucks enter from the side of the containers and exit a little further up. This can cause some traffic in front of the terminal. So I think the direction of the road should be flipped to maximize efficiency.

[@lickkittysplit3871]

Damn good job T4rget. I'm amazed with your layout and how you tinker with the intersections. Also love the commentary through the time lapse build. It could be 10min and just the way you explain it with as much detail helps us CS players with building our cities. 10 GOLD STARS. CHEERS MATE!!!!!!

[@andreasask6791]

I think, that generally it is a good idea to have the roundabouts go counter clockwise with right hand traffic. That way, vehicles exiting at an exit won’t hade to cross traffic entering the roundabout there.

[@nanogamer7414]

Looks like a your roundabouts to the industry are the wrong way arround ;)

[@posiputt1476]

also the one at the cargo station

[@xyl9l]

i think he did that on purpose so cars will have more space and prevent junctions

[@nanogamer7414]

Xyl9l for the exit roundabout yes, but he initially built the other one inverted too, before he rebuilt it

[@darthm985]

@@xyl9l outgoingtraffic tehn have to meet ingoing and, as putting entrance before exit on highways, it leads to overflow the layout

[@Stadtionalist]

Indeed, both the roundabout handling the outgoing traffic (from industry to highway) as well as the oval-a-bout (connecting the cargo station) are set up clockwise, whilst you want counter-clockwise roundabouts with right hand traffic (so they don't need to cross oncoming traffic when entering and leaving the roundabout). TL;DR: You want to turn right on a roundabout, not left

[@astronomeratnight]

"Regarding trains. ... Jesus Christ." That was the first time I have ever laughed out loud while watching a Let's Play.

[@Hunter-iq9zj]

24:44 I would have loved to seen his irl reaction to that 😂 “oh”

[@Suckynewb]

@27:20 Yea, was gonna say you don't need roundabouts for the entrance/exit to the highway because there's no cross traffic. Since they're all 1 way roads you can have 2 lane highway split into two 1 lane roads and the trucks should pick their lane properly.

[@camrouxbg]

You clockwise roundabouts are screwing with my head! But I like it overall. Gorgeous layout and well thought out.

[@jmb3d]

I continue to love the time lapse with voice over explaining (even if this one did give me anxiety), then a brief explanation of the final product. Great job!

[@spacedoutorca4550]

FINALLY an unmodded video. You don’t even know how much of a breath of fresh air this is. Almost every goddamn cities skylines video with tips for improving cities always devolves into a list of mods. It feels like 90% of cities skylines KZbinrs forget us console players even exist.

Big changes to the city today. What fun to watch and a challenge to replicate. What you did in the time lapse took me all afternoon and part of the evening. Good times. I enjoy the time lapses with explanations very much. And then seeing you tweak them in live play is very informative. Thanks as always for sharing your work.

[@GigihPramono]

Damn, I really love to watch you designing a big area layout like this, especially those road and rail network. Can’t wait to see how you will add public transportation network in future episode. I wish u have a wonderful week and thanks for the amazing content!

[@mosambhiwapurkar6120]

Doesn't make sense to have a roundabout for the one way road to enter the industrial area.

[@narayandejesusreyes5843]

The area is not completed yet. There will be more added.

[@waveymane]

It makes sense if u consider the unfinished fishing industry highway planned to reach the main industry. Then it will be a 3-way roundabout.

[@jeandelaloza4317]

Hey Target, I just found your channel! I'm really enjoying this series and your thought process on making a beautiful and efficient city. Regarding the time lapse, I enjoyed it and the explanation too. Your industry district looks lovely. I would however recommend making some space for services, like fire and police. As well as a few plazas or parks for the leisure needs of the industry district employees. Also use the industry roads for the industrial district instead of the normal roads, as they fit the look better. Other than that, keep it up! I am absolutely loving this series and your style of playing!

I make it a point to never use roundabouts. It's purely to spite the zealots who think they're the ultimate answer to life, the universe, and everything. With proper planning It's easy to maintain good flow without wasting acreage on crop circles.

Also, the roundabouts were facing the wrong directions. His had left turns while correct roundabouts have right turns to get on and off the roundabout.

[@georgemaragos2378]

Hi All, Wow another great video I was shouting at the screen when you placed the garbage sites in that corner - the furthest distance away from the city For the industry itself, it may help if you have just one industrial site there, although the system will dispatch it to anywhere ( i really hate it with fire , you see the station in the next street, but that fire station send a truck elsewhere miles away ) With the rail, once i buy more land , i try to change the rail to have 1 x commuter train intercity, and 1 x freight train intercity, then reword the local tracks so that almost no rail track carries commuter and freight, it helps with the train congestion I did like your solution with the main highway link and the 2 roundabouts - #1 for rail and #2 for the other new industry Maybe expand it to 3 roundabouts so the garbage exits first and turns left Another option is to run a separate road from the tip to the commercial / industrial zones, you are running vanilla so it will have all traffic ( if it was not vanilla then traffic manager would bock all cars that were not recycling - but on this map as vanilla it is not a option - a shame vanilla does not have roads for garbage, hmmm can you use bus lanes ??? i know they allow emergency vehicles, what about recycling ??? hmm , i need to experiment ) I may copy your set up on the weekend, what i may try is the 1 freight rail feed to branch up as you did to industry then to other industry , commercial , and the other one to just go to the new fishing site but to have 2 stops eg one near the fishing area and the other at the bottom end of the new industry where the garbage was for a short time. This would allow easy cross /loading of fishing to local industry or local markets eg truck will cart from the second fishing station just a few streets away to end up on regulart freight line for local or inter city Regards George

[@RUNTHROUGHDATAPE]

People are really in love with Highways in this game

[@timppaUT]

Your two roundabouts go wrong way around? In right hand traffic they are usually anti-clocwise, not clockwise like yours. And this particular case they should, as: Your inward traffic has much shorter distance to get into main industrial are roads as they have only 1/4th of roundabout to circle. 2. Outgoing roundabout traffic has to cross inward (when there is gonna be so, theres not one yet though) coming traffic that kinda spoils whole use of roundabouts, and makes it just a regular crossing. But other than that: Good looking an well thought zone! Also one trick I use when demolishing my initial industrial zones is: I just convert them first to (vanilla) forrest industry (acriculture also works) zones that will clean up their soil, so then I have also option to build residential zones in there without ppl getting sick.

[@odenwaldquelle8228]

Why did you use roundabouts? A simple curve would've done the trick... 75% of the roundabout won't get any traffic.

[@larrylindgren9484]

I don't mind the voiceovered timelapses. They're better than playing it out real time since there's a lot of just minor mistakes and experimenting that you do as just part of the process that isn't really important to the video, so going back and doing a voiceover where you explain your thought process is much more interesting imo.
