The City's Longest 3 Level Bridge - Cities: Skylines - Asturis 18

[@coenogo]

I'd love to see some sort of shipyard at some point. Either a traditional naval shipyard, or a futuristic spacecraft shipyard.

[@molybdane7240]

Then it should be a megashipyard with a 2 km long drydock or 2.

[@coenogo]

@@molybdane7240 Given the fact that the city has a space elevator, I think it's safe to assume that the economy and industry of the city would be oriented toward space development. You would expect to see the support equipment necessary for modern spacecraft somewhere. Think of things like LH2, LCH4 and LOX refineries and storage. Perhaps there could even be a derelict/abandoned traditional spaceport with launchpads and integration facilities that have fallen into disrepair or have been repurposed by the lower strata?

[@ultmateragnarok8376]

It would be also a neat idea to see an actual traditional shipyard for oceangoing ships that has since been repurposed. Like, say there's four or five dry docks for cargo vessels or cruise ships or similarly sized craft, but the advent of alternatives has caused some of them to go unused and eventually unclaimed. Perhaps one is broken, or perhaps they've been left flooded and turned into a smaller marina or even a seminatural swimming and diving pool with a solid border. I think a lot of people actually would quite like to be able to swim in a dry-dock-turned-public-space like that, and watch the remaining ones work and build up ships over time.

[@DonFervo]

@@coenogo thought the same first but I assume that not every somewhat bigger city in the future has its own elevator, therefore cities would export their space goods to this elevator and a port would make sense.

[@coenogo]

@@DonFervo Absolutely agree. Seeing how space elevators are (currently) only feasible off-shore on the equator, the number of elevators that could be built would naturally be quite low. A cargo port would also help to supply materials for spaceship construction, and a huge amount of materials would have been required for the initial construction of the space elevator itself.

[@pieter-bashoogsteen2283]

Aurelia already looked great, but I have to say that Asturis is a big improvement and even better looking.

[@madao7865]

Awesome Idea to attach the cables to the mountains. I love it when aesthetics and practicality go hand in hand. And since it's not too steep, maybe there can be a path going along the top as a tourist attraction connecting the mountain tops, as well.

[@jasonlescalleet5611]

Possibly cable cars and an observation tower too. The view would be spectacular.

[@matrimhelmsgaard]

I really love seeing Akruas projects, its like a mystery every time he makes something new how it will turn out! just looks great every time

[@Sl1mb]

I really like this concrete wall just before the bridge. It reminds me of a semi-dystopian movie (even if Asturis is not really dystopian).

[@SUPERKANONENKUGEL]

Love the big cable hanging from the mountains.

[@heresj5105]

Imagine, coming for the first time in this city, never seen any photo, and just arrive by the tram coast from this tunnel... That would be cinematic and amazing

[@dialog_box]

11:20 watching this part of the timelapse my head immediately went to "oh no dude you gotta fill that box in or else light it up. otherwise you're gonna get hella mob spawns in there!"

[@timowagner1329]

Looks fantastic! Regarding the lights: you could ma put some plain white lights on the tips of the hanging support, or even some flashing red aircraft warning lights would look good! Just so much that the bridge is not "invisible" during the night...

[@ultmateragnarok8376]

I'm surprised at how big the base points of that cable ended up being. I noticed you scale them up, sure, but I just didn't process that they'd rival the size of the gargantuan pillar building at the shoreline. I must say, I adore the brutalist designs you make for some of these structures, such as that pillar one, and similar things like that - the ones that look like they could truly hold so much more before even cracking. Like those massive pillars helping the tracks and road keep back the cliffside. Excellent video, as always! As for lights on the bridge - I could certainly see some big spotlights shining up at it from beneath, even if they're simply uncolored. Keeps the thing visible for tourism and travel at night. The big pillars would also likely have some small guidance lights, being high-up artificial objects even if they're so short themselves. I wonder if one might see use as a base for a radio tower or similar? With the space elevator nearby communication on some scale can be mounted to the tether for it, but that would even then only reach so far.

[@jorundcoalforge6277]

I just imagine myself on the beach waiting for the Elevator launch/decent times. Absolutely fantastic work as always.

[@joachimgeraerts7864]

You should make a villa street in the mountains like beverly hills in Hollywood with infinity pools and beautiful sights on the city at some point

[@ViktorVaughan]

I have never seen customisation at this level before. I am blown away.

[@_kiewicz6340]

Tbh I was kinda sceptical about Asturis, Aurelia still in my heart. But looking at things that you do, especially last few episodes - it is so awesome

[@pau6062]

I was checking your channel because I wanted to see if you had uploaded this episode and surprise! Published 52 seconds ago!

[@alanrothschild8996]

Somehow Brutalist architecture is somewhat futuristic

[@ultmateragnarok8376]

It's a combination of sleek with smoothed corners, even if the surface isn't really all that sleek or smooth up close, and also that light grey color concrete is known for. Light colors on massive, relatively smooth structures - particularly with other aspects integrated directly into them for maximum density and efficient use of space - tends to evoke a futuristic feeling.

[@severalgeollosscreaming48]

One thing to note, I'm not gonna apply Logic to a Utopian city, but bridges that utilise this multi layer sometimes suffers from imbalance due to over use of 1 side. A New York bridge suffered damage due to a side supporting 1 subway being used much more than the other subway. It if irl and not prepared properly happen with the tram and pedestrian level.

[@thellamabotherer7048]

That huge building at the end of the bridge reminds me a little of the modern part of Coventry cathedral.

[@Kleavers]

Really cool bridge design. Looks very otherworldly.

[@Oktobermedia]

As always, the amount of creativity in your videos are incredible

[@tiagoneto8255]

Awesome job with that bridge

[@ai97Nord]

That was Most Awesome Bridge build, im ever seen in Cities Skylines. It can become one of major Asturis Landmarks beside Space Elevator terminal. Good Video 👍 btw.

[@kristofferkirkeb1232]

Dystopian style favelas would be cool with the whole tropical vibe.

[@junez609]

I would love to see you build a city that is completely free of roads, freeways and cars. Under the circumstances of a visionary, futuristic city. Use as little concrete as possible and find ways of transports via trains, boats that run with the river flow, etc. i always think of roads to be 'dead spaces', solely for the purpose of moving deadly metal boxes with people inside. Really would love to see an in-game solution of getting rid of all cars!

[@kamrankerim636]

bro, you are building the craziest things. Respect...

[@PauxloE]

At least the pedestrian part of the bridge needs some lights so people can cross at night.

[@mathieug9618]

just one vertical white glowing po on each supporting beams would look amazing at night

[@Akruas]

Yes, I was thinking that too, will probably do that when I'll build on the other side.

[@hiyoristernfunkel]

I realy like your new brige. It add more charakter to your city. Your map is a bit mountainous, I thing a park like the Olypic Park in Munich would fit in your city very well, because it is surprisingly a bit hilly. I visited other places too, and I noticed there are some higher places in the city who are realy beautyful and you have a realy nice view over a specific area like Chinese garde in Stuttgart , Wolkenhain auf dem Kienberg in Berlin, Herkules in Kassel, Parc de Belleville in Paris and many more. It would be realy great if you could add a nice hilly park in your city.

[@jamesandrenfernantan9810]

when you mention it, a tiered park would be something that would definitely happen eventually, but a hillside park sounds pretty good too!

[@MinecraftWarrior22]

I think the brutalist building best fits a transit agency HQ

[@hf03ngp286]

This city has 200km of railways and 150km of roads for each inhabitant

[@lui_zueiro900]

in celebration of the world cup, makes a state for Asturis to host the cup

[@radimfiala8544]

love the bridge, it looks really nice and u captured the style on eastern european brutalism really well

[@juliomonteiro3]

You keep getting better! Truly amazing to watch, thank you!

[@ceccascorp8149]

I would love to live in Asturis. You could make new beaches.

[@innuvix_8601]

Awesome. Only the tramway goes to tunnel seems like needs depth orsm

[@snsey_fufu6727]

This is my Favorite series 👍

[@samvise85]

Beautiful! As always!

[@petsilva4528]

Wow Akruas. Your creativity is inexhaustible!!!

[@rubnicf2203]

Nice episode. Looking foward to the next one.👍

[@Well_Freitas]

you are a genius

[@zacharyjulien2952]

I honestly wish that modern developers took some of your design ideas. Modern development is so boring and basic it would be nice to see uniqueness in building styles. Not sure if you ever watched the first black panther movie but when I saw it I’m like why don’t we build like this. Beautiful structures

[@philsspace69]

Akruas - never boring!

[@Triliton]

Love the bridge! :)

[@rogerlyso]

Very inspiring. love your work

[@patrick86806]

and the CS Wizard is at it again with a mega project!🤩

[@CUfkes]

"It's magic you know..." ;)

[@zacharyjulien2952]

I thin cables make for a better support structure especially since we don’t know what earth will look like many years from now they could potentially be better prepared against earthquakes and wind, and etc

[@brainlessteddy]

I love that you continue the concrete brutalist style of the overly complicated station from two episodes ago. Tho tbh I do miss the urban design. The "filler" part of the city along the coastline does look kinda bland. But I guess that's their point.

[@brokeafengineerwannabe2071]

Looks like the bridge structure is not thick enough to support what's below it, but the design is fine

[@dialog_box]

hey Akruas, I've noticed a little quirk about your English that i'm not sure whether you're aware of. in English we obviously use present progressive a lot: things like "i'm watching a video," "she's eating breakfast," "you're walking too fast," etc. However, most of the sensory/feeling verbs usually stay in simple present: like "that looks good," "i feel sick," "he likes it," "it sounds fine," etc. So, when you say things like "it's looking very nice" (14:30), although no one will have any trouble understanding you, it does sound quite non-native/unnatural. Obviously that doesn't have to be a bad thing! I just figured you might be interested to learn about it, if you haven't already. languages are truly fascinating to me, and i love observing details like this in the ways people speak, that's all :)

[@Akruas]

I'll try to remember that, thanks.

[@giro5875]

hi, are the mods from Your Asturis pack compatible with the game?

[@Akruas]

Not right now, Altengrad's collection is up to date, I'll try to update Asturis ASAP but always check the date in the description of last change if it's before or after a game update.

[@gazerew]

this bridge gives me anxiety tbh, looks like it can't manage so much weight

[@citiesinsane8519]

Massive Bridge, but it fit´s to the whole projekt.....

[@dro1dro1vivid]

I love you 😘 the excitement I get seeing you post a video :)

[@lucasdincher1431]

Whats the name of the mod with you can change the DIN and weather?

[@li._.dub_-]

ik this is 14 hours late and you prob sont see this, but i had and idea for where people live maybe you should find an area to build a bunch of similar houses that people can rent or buy, more like jumeirah village triangle and circle. you should also find an area or build an artificial island where people can build, rent, or buy villas and stuff i think it would be cool to have that also, put more trees

[@dummyxl]

Some time in the future Aliens will see this and rebuild it in real life.

[@NachosMachos]

damn thats a thick bridge! *moans*

[@ceccascorp8149]

Asturis is much better than altengrand, you can build whatever you want and have fun

[@juliuserikbunda3946]

I would really like to see more density even here

[@marcoslays]

which highways do you use? i didnt understand the name😅

All the algorithm things

[@RainedOnParade]

Cars are not evil, cars are freedom. Cars do not choke the roads because you make the roads larger. They choke large roads because all other roads are made small. Pedestrianism and biking are not virtuous, cramming people into public transport is not virtuous. Justice for cars!

[@likematters5568]

Nice city!

[@ripvirgil_goat]

Idea for next map. I and probably many would like to see a city in the near east like abu dhabi dubai or so. Other idea i like would be south america. Rio or sonething

[@noehondema7391]

check out the Museum of art sao paulo. its a great unique example o brutalism.
