This Concrete River will be the Main Infrastructure Spine for your City in Cities: Skylines

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

Man, making the LA river in vanilla CS is peak Imperatur, genius bro! Looks amazing as always!!

[@imperatur]

Thanks bro❤️

[@tigonologdring9189]

Yeah... Imperatur's vanilla is a deluxe Madagascan affair as opposed to the Mr Whippy most of us aspire to. Genius. Concrete river... no words.

[@CB-lv6ct]

Imperatur and Egg are my favorites for sure.

[@mwl5]

10:29 that station placement trick is GENIUS

[@kanojune5754]

Second this

[@ngook9531]

imperatur stands out as an exceptional designer in the realm of Cities Skylines. The videos showcasing his work is immensely inspiring, and I greatly admire his unmatched creativity. I aspire to possess even a fraction of his imaginative abilities. Please continue to inspire us with your remarkable builds.

[@imperatur]

Thanks for your nice words bro!!

[@Masonicagent_Films]

I feel like he used Chat GPT for this ngl

[@seanhickling7340]

That river looks absolutely awesome! Well done, man. Stunning job 👏🏻👨🏻‍🦲

[@imperatur]

Thanks buddy:))

[@bobbycrosby9765]

Fun fact: they concreted over the LA river because heavy storms would cause it to flood and even change its course. In the early 19th century its outlet was around modern day Venice, CA - but after a flood its outlet shifted to Long Beach, which is about 20 miles south.

[@luca_ets2]

cool fact, didn't knew that one👍

[@FASynergy]

Dude, these new airport curtains are ushering in a great final era of CS1 for Imperatur. I already was inspired by you to use them on underpasses to make make it look like the overpass is on a concrete pad, and then you come up with this! And on only episode 2! Really looking forward to this series, excellent work bro

[@mariebcfhs9491]

Even with a massive list of mods I couldn't recreate even a corner of Imperatur's cities, and yet he did it all in vanilla. I look up to you every time I play CS. You're a great builder sharing innumerable game knowledge, thank you.

[@aaronbruce8861]

its hard to believe that it was done in vanilla.... it looks so good

[@imperatur]

Thanks buddy:)

[@CTSH1]

It’s so nice to have these videos on while playing cities skylines, really relaxing to listen to your voice explain what you’re doing while playing lol

[@DtF2611]

Love this Vanilla idea! I'm so used to assets and mods I always shy away from going back to "basics". Great work and great effect with the river!

[@pjludda4323]

"Aw shit here we go again..." Awesome job man. xD

[@josebaez7116]

Love the creativity. Imperatur always does a good job! Btw, that patreon ad, you are super handsome!

[@bricks_and_cities]

Wow, that concrete river turned out so perfectly. It almost doesn't look Vanilla! Fantastic infrastructure work around the river, too.

[@Lanc3Edits]

where does he get the concrete tiles from then?

[@connorddenniss]

This man is out here using the whole damn brain. Glad to support him on Patreon. 10:30

[@kederaji]

idk why I got recommended this except that I'm an angeleno, but yeah, you captured the feel of The River almost perfectly. It needs more graffiti to really add that finishing touch.

[@VanillaV4]

This helps in my California build, thank you.

[@imperatur]

Awesome!:)

[@MrMtanz]

I still can’t get over how much the concrete aprons add to industrial areas. It goes a long way towards realism in vanilla and console builds

[@ElDimitrius]

Still so amazed with how easy you make it look, but knowing it's actually not! Impressive stuff! (as usual)

[@standingout1389]

You are THE BOMB when it comes to C:S. Amazing job! I'm copying this city with the same style for my latest build 👍

[@tactical1981]

Outstanding! This city is already one of my faves.

[@imperatur]

I‘m glad to hear that🥰

[@Casidian_]

Wow, just wow. What you are able to do is just impressive! Thank you for sharing this!

[@bossfight6125]

Perfect vanilla recreation of the concrete rivers in Los Angeles!

[@pashadwantara]

This reminds me of LA.

[@TvC1]

I was just about to say that

[@palap9506]

no shit, he literally said its inspired by LA in the first seconds

[@imperatur]

It was absolutely inspired by la😂

[@Dummy5504]

Nahhhhhhhh

[@Dummy5504]

@@palap9506that’s the joke😂

[@thethunderking7360]

As the LA river has some parts where there’s reclamation going on, I think I’d be cool to see parts of the river where there’s raised land and trees/plants. Very cool build so far too!

[@jankos8673]

Wow, I wasn't expecting these Airport DLC aprons to be so useful. You're really creative with them!

[@hrsmrt9292]

Los Angeles vibes, a man made paved 'canal', even it's riverbed is paved too.

[@imperatur]

Hahaj yess

[@thegreatdodo5092]

Jedes Mal eine wahre Freude deine Videos! :)

[@imperatur]

Freut mich zu hören!

[@MGM778]

You nailed it with the los angeles inspired river and the decor around.

[@ChrisWynneR]

Great video as always! With the viaduct over the river, please consider having the highway split slightly to have each highway go through an archway! There are a couple motorways here that do that, and it looks awesome!

[@imperatur]

Yes i tried that but the height of the bridge wasn‘t high enough so it showed space alread occupied..

[@ChrisWynneR]

@@imperatur that’s a shame, could you not drop the highway down into a slight cutting to make it work?

[@mockingbird0901]

I mean, a river filled with life is more interesting to me than a dead area with nothing but concrete, but I see what you were getting at =P

[@trouble_withda_name6558]

I totally disagree, a pristine river is never boring. Concrete is.

[@theditoz1962]

All impressive as always, the best in terraforming and multilevel crossing roads and rail. But I think that the interchange next to the cargo station that is also crossed by the rail, and also on the same road of the highway exit will be a complete traffic mess.

[@duckpond7856]

The SciFi movie "Them" (1954) used the L.A. River as a locale. Giant ants tried to take over the city!

[@mwl5]

I thought about trying the exact same thing yesterday. Looks awesome!

[@Ben_LaBroca]

Superb creativity - new ideas like this this late into the game cycle blow my mind!

[@SuperAzoz99]

The LA River is iconic to me because of Rockstar Games, the midnight club games, and GTA San Andreas and V. I spent my childhood driving on this concrete river.

[@dragonmasterchief2492]

Man this looks so good already after just two parts. Awesome work!

[@desto13c]

The vanilla build technique have been ingrained in your hand muscles. Masterclass as always!

[@vivianchukwuemeka6933]

What a little vanilla, some patience and music can bring to your city

[@altin6423]

Great work as always 💪🏻

[@marinaadmiraal8337]

Cool build! Love it! Please enjoy your own work, I think you do great!

[@juliusmuller9416]

I think its amazing how much thought you put Into these projects

[@ptterz]

For the sake of GTA and if possible without mods, you should try add that tunnel entrance where everyone waited for the police to go away by that river 😄

[@AdriActive]

That river reminds me of Compton in La

[@awaishyderqureshi3403]

You always came up with new Awesome ideas thanks ❤

[@kevin_dat_mexican8908]

Dread it, run from it, Imperatur building LA in CS arrives all the same.

[@luca_ets2]

Richtig cool gebaut, ohne mods sodass ich mir ein paar Dinge abgucken kann und auf der Konsole nachbauen kann..😊 P.s. Könntest du vielleicht mal auf der Konsole spielen? Wäre cool..😄

[@Smerlin155]

Einfach unglaublich wie du es im Vanilla macht! 🫶

[@HowardCHOW]

I like music and your city

[@ViniciusSC10]

As always, a fantastic work. But I prefer the natural look.

[@Harper210]

in terms of timelapses, do you have the camera put in the same place the entire time, or is there some sort of camera path method you use? if you build without moving the camera at all that is quite impressive!

[@londontoffee]

I wanna be with you always... coz that is what my heart says... PLAY THAT CHOOON

[@CaptainSpielt]

Wow! Now i really want a river like that in my city too 😍

[@JimNichols]

All the different styles! Bro you are the Da Vinci of Cities Skylines. How do you create the different style groupings? I have managed to do a few and they are painstaking to say the least picking each asset you wish to be in say "American classic".

[@Lwito]

just stunning !!

[@mattyperry1633]

Wondering how you get the train stations so early on? 11k population normally

Thanks bro!

[@terrellrogers7645]

I thought I was good, but damn how are you such a genius at vanilla buildings 🤯, u probably should work as a city planner in real life and get paid for it 😅

[@Ondar007]

Wow so nice looking city without infinite moneys 😁

[@olasola1013]

You’re making an American city if public transport and pedestrianisation got better, but zoning laws stayed the same. Great city nonetheless!. 😂 💚💙🧡

[@nammaiz]

Please show your graphic and color settings!!

[@REAL-UNKNOWN-SHINOBI]

Once again there is no damn release date for cities skylines 2, so it's not going to be your last City. Especially if it doesn't come out this year and it only comes out next year.

[@Wasbever_14]

Yeass, the GTA river!

[@Laster12_Original]

Allow me tell you that your city it is so beautiful

[@0ero2wo]

What is the concrete like tiles hes using at 1:55 ?? I get that they are from airports dlc but i find it hard to believe you can put them everywhere throught objects like that, can you do the same on xbox? This would literally help me soooo much 🙏🏻

[@mwl5]

You can't use them with growable zoning. Almost anything ploppable works with them, but I've found some issues with stuff like power plants.

[@TheAnimeist]

Instead of playing music while you're building, why not just talk about what you are doing instead? The music is annoying. Nice river by the way.
