The Beginning of a New City - Bend, Magnolia County | Cities Skylines 2 | Ep 1

Hello and welcome to Magnolia County, Superior! James and Jamila Jones are preparing to from Verde Beach to Magnolia County, following Jamila's HUGE promotion at Clearwater Southern. She'll be managing the new Cargo Terminal and Rail Yard... once it's built. Until then, she'll be acting as a project manager, in charge of making sure that everything runs smoothly.
James, while supportive, doesn't have plans in Magnolia County and is unsure of what his next move is. But before we can learn what he'll be up to, we're going to focus on building their new home - Bend, Superior - a small town tucked away in the woods.
This series has been built on a completely custom map - one of the first available for Cities Skylines 2. If you'd like to download the map to play on yourself, you can find it here - link.cityplannerplays.com/Mag...

Completely agree with you there. Gives neighborhoods a feeling of history, which is awesome!

[@leahwilton785]

As a pedestrian, I always appreciate having trees on the roads. I didn't notice it til a friend pointed it out, but there are very few areas in my own city with trees along roadways. And now I can't stop seeing it! For me, the trees help the area feel to human scale - like I am meant to be there.

"A couple more development points, thank goodness, cause we gotta do something about the bodies" - Phil 2023

[@Red81849]

A suggestion for the town, is to leave space between some buildings. i think its a bit more realistic, a lot of houses are not exactly fence-to-fence (some are) on google earth you see a lot of trees in the suburbs (in some parts). I'm excited for this series!

[@marru9311]

The story, the effort of building the custom map, the jokes, the upcoming eminent domains and landscaping. Thanks for making the whole city skylines game much more enjoyable than it already is. I am really looking forward to this series!

[@andruloni]

[@flipcupking2222]

I'm excited for the first story driven CS2 series and have been watching since Verde Beach Day 1. Pretty cool to see the start of a new project and see it come to life over time and feel really connected to the city. I saw a depression in the terrain between the cul-de-sac houses and thought it would be a perfect place for a little pond for the kids to go fishing in after school.

[@mrpotential11]

35:20 a possible coul-de-sac idea that I use that could be beneficial and looks really nice is I use alleys for suburban neighborhoods. When I end the alley, I turn off all snap tools, grab a regular road, and make a very very small segment. You can't zone on the ends, but it gives a tight realistic look

[@kissenjinx]

As an addon to this tip, I usually place parks etc, without any snapping turned on, at the end of the road / cul-de-sac :)

[@MrTwisted003]

I had the same idea, but I was thinking running the road perpendicular. To get such a small nub of a road I thought to add 2 dirt roads parallel, 1 on either side of your 1st road slightly longer (just near and past the end) maybe 2 cells away, then run a same or bigger road at the end ( to make a T) across the dirt roads directly in line thru the end of the 1st. With the dirt roads longer i think it wouldn't make a weird connection. Then delete the T on each far side of the dirt roads, then delete the dirt roads. I'm assuming you're left with a nub on the end with zoning on the end. Don't have the game yet so I can only imagine if it works. Another idea was actually what he did in the video, and it worked better than I thought. Not too sure about this "nub" idea.

[@EndoScorpion]

In England where I live we don't have bulbs or roundabouts on our cul-de-sacs. The road just has a little bulge/lay-by for turning around. Sometimes either L or T shaped. More than enough room for a car/van to do a 3-point turn, but doesn't take up the space of a house or three like the roundabouts do. By doing this in C:S2, you also get zoning at the end of the road too.

[@MaleusMaleficarum]

​@MrTwisted003 there are many such roads in California. Not true cul-de-sac, just ally/driveways to houses set back from the road

[@MrTwisted003]

@@MaleusMaleficarum True, I have seen those. I want to say they're rare, but I have seen them around. I lived on a cul-de-sac for a while myself twice, and one was a good sized one for how short the street was, and if I remember the biggest issue people complained about was people running into their parked cars because there wasn't enough room to turn around. Ours was big enough, I guess some people just can't drive, lol. But I'm assuming this is the reason most are bulbous at the end.

[@MrPoplarPonderosa]

@@KingDavidCreates thanks! That makes sense.

[@lightplane]

Another tip I discovered. If you want a rural look to your town you can install power poles along the roads. This works on any road with sidewalks. Select the low voltage power for above ground and plop the poles along the sidewalks of your roads. It looks great. Duplicates the power as roads have them underground anyway. But it's a nice visual. Works on highways too. I also place them alongside railways too.

[@pamelawild4390]

Really love all your story-driven series, but I think this one might be my favorite!! I don't even play Cities Skylines, but I LOVE watching you do it!!

[@liamnussbaumer5269]

So excited to see this city grow!

[@veevoir]

About the Path Lights thing - CS2 cares for safety, any time path makes a pedestrian crossing through 4+ lanes - it will have lights. Because otherwise it is pretty unsafe for pedestrians.

[@TOMTOM544]

On the little triangle part of Main St you should put a Spruce there and it can be like the towns center Christmas tree

As a Michigander, it’s always really weird to see left hand turns off of highways, but as always, this was immaculate! Can’t wait to see how it grows!

Great start on a series! Although I do sometimes wish you did less grid towns haha, it feels like its the default for almost everyone.

[@TheGrimHHH]

I think the biggest issue with CS2 is that if you don't do grids, your cities will look all broken up. This is a problem that'll be solved with mods, or when CO adds zone toggling to the streets.

[@anderssn]

@@TheGrimHHH You're definitely right to a degree, though I have seen some creators manage to do some really nice less gridded cities. PalmsTime manages to make really interesting city layouts with grids and more organic shapes mixed together. Sanctum Gamer breaks the grid a lot as well and manages to make really natural and realistic looking road layouts.

[@alrivers]

Hey CPP! You can also trick the zoning by upgrading a road to a 2 lane highway and then back after placing your zoning down rather than having to delete the road, lose some buildings and have to build and zone them all back up. Try it out 😉

[@SageSundae]

Very excited for this new series! Watching you build a smaller town makes me miss having fencing to build out lots in CS2. I started getting into it in my final CS1 city build and it’s one of those detailing things I totally miss.

[@CinnamonMuffinz]

I always love the stories you bring. It brings intention to a sandbox. Something I hope to replicate when I start playing CS2

[@AleksiJoensuu]

I really love this style that Phil has of really taking time when building a city. I mean, this isn't a game that you "win" or anything so why not take all the time you want to make things detailed and nice! It just makes for some really good content that's satisfying to watch. Not to mention with the way the game is running when cities grow large enough, seems like you'll get more gameplay before your system starts sputtering :)

[@mrshurukan]

[@christiankrzykwa8470]

An easy way to fix zoning that works about 75% of the time is double clicking on the last road placed. I found this to be easier than placing paths. You have to play around with it but double clicking in certain sections of roads moves it's zoning around.

[@ssicari]

the "cpp fiddles with zoning" theme song cracked me up every time. amazing looking forward to the next one :)

Really looking forward to this series! Though 20 minutes in and my two biggest frustrations - the broken zoning grid (it's just broken and needs to be fixed) and what you've dubbed potato mode - have already appeared.

[@ScottKorin]

Phil, I love the time and care you put into creating stories around your cities!

[@louisbrewer1260]

Looking forward to this series! One thing I would love to see is an easy way to access USGS topo maps to base your overall region on! They had a very primitive one in Sim City 4 (last city builder I really played), but it was very difficult to implement in game and just didn't work right! I want this because I really want to replicate my hometown region the Grand Valley in western Colorado where the junction of the Colorado River and Gunnison River is located! The topography is super cool in the region with the two rivers coming together in a wide valley with the Grand Mesa to the east and red sandstone rocks and canyons on the south and west and I line of steep cliffs along the north! I played homage to this region by making my own map with editor in Sim City 4 (was a labor of love) and my best friend and I made this super cool mega metropolis on the map but it didn't match up to the super cool natural topography of my home region! I actually still have the desktop that has that map and metropolis I made all those many years ago!

Phil you have outdone yourself with this first episode, I'm really looking forward to this series!

First - great job with the modded map. I took a look at it myself this morning, and I think it's going to be a lot of fun creating a realistic village that grows into...well, we'll see :) I REALLY loved the cul de sac areas up on the hill - fantastic solution for a one way turnaround at the end with no roundabouts available yet. So far, I'm finding that I want to build infrastructure and road systems first before zoning, in order to get to the first progression and then buy Road Services, so I can do some fine tuning ahead of anyone moving in. ANYWAY - all that to say this: super excited to see this new series, and I'm glad you're dealing with buggy issues as they come up and showing the workarounds you've discovered. Thanks for everything you do for the CS community, Phil!

Christmas came early! Super excited for the new series. Also, I know that the crematorium is a logical choice, but consider the graveyard. Graveyards served not only for internment but public spaces.
