This FISH FARM Cargo Hub Fixes Traffic In Cities Skylines! | 25 Tiles Build Guide

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

Another great build, and the whole thing done at 12:36 too! What a pro 🙂

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

Cheers Biffa! High praise indeed

[@thesheq5023]

I think you should use the temple turnaround as a tram exchange. One to go out and one to go into downtown

[@Poetdainfinite]

Is good idea

[@Squeeker67]

That's a great idea!!!

[@scartha4040]

It's a shame you cannot have a crowd of people and the mayor opening the permanent placement of the ferry depot

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

I'm really gonna miss moving that at the start of every episode :(

[@ubison]

Maybe you can get a taxi depot to kick around instead.

[@Koiworks84]

Congrats on Ilos being selected as one of the best lightly modded cities in CS by their official YT channel! Your work is amazing and it's great to see some recognition!

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

Thank you so much :)

[@BeardedScotsman86]

For the farm area. I found building a medium crop field amongst the small crop fields gives a great look as the medium field has a farm house within it. If you put it in the middle with 1 or 2 small fields on either side, it looks like the farmer has expanded their land out from their house, rather than just lots of small fields in a row

[@StarStuff.]

That LoTR reference 😊 now the little farm has to be Samwise Farm Love the build and the way you blend them together perfectly ❤️

[@DavidWilliams-yo4kb]

As you have the fish farms and fields of potatoes next door it should become a fish and chips area. Maybe add a restaurant nearby to become the fish and chip restaurant served by them.

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

Of course!! Next episode is already recorded but certainly next time. David's Fish & chips perhaps?

[@DavidWilliams-yo4kb]

Haha love it 👍

[@BakedZiTi77]

I can only imagine the time it takes you to plan these episodes out and it shows. How you've expanded on this plot of land flows so nicely dude. Palaven up to this point has been my favorite city, but Orchid bay is seriously giving it a run for its money! Po-ta-to, po-ta-to 😂 excellent work as always OE

[@bradleysmith292]

I finally caught up to the present day and watched this build guide after finding you last week when searching for cities inspiration! I've never watched a cities series but you drew me in. Your passion for the game, and the city, is awesome! Excited to watch more and contribute and as we go on to cities 2. Keep it up!

[@riskybiscuitgaming7177]

Perfect way to start my day. Especially now that I'm all caught up keep the awesomeness coming Egg

[@Alex-ec6xf]

So, on the M62 thing. thats actually a myth! the farm in the middle is due to the land underneath the farm not being good for that part of the motorway, so it was easier to split it and build the motorway either side of the farmhouse. The UK government always had the right to take property for projects - its similar to the US concept of eminent domain (CPP would be proud). anyway, the farmhouse lives on but not because of stubbornness!

[@YorkshireYoda77]

Stott Hall Farm in the middle of the M62... that's an urban legend I'm afraid. The motorway splits and diverges along that vale due to the topographical issues of ground, not because the farmer wouldn't sell. I do love seeing it every time I drive along there (very frequently).

[@cvatanen1]

You'll be pleased to know that the enthusiastic importer was re-assigned to work in the Gradient/Fence Police HQ where his/her enthusiasm is welcomed. I threw down a barn to see what happened and noticed a small trickle of imports, spaced out 1-2 at a time to the new area. I also discovered that the Riding Stable fits nicely in with farming areas, although I wonder if the noise is a bit much for the horses. I love your how Orchid Bay is turning out. I've spent a lot of time admiring the city, the people moving about.

[@RS-pb2se]

Another great build. Far more creative than I could ever be, especially with the minor use of base game industry zoning. To improve, I don’t think the waterfront road leading up to the tram terminus is particularly needed, and would remove it when the tram is extended to downtown as the city develops. It could be replaced by high density zoning, which would create some nice waterfront properties.

[@filmacs17]

I like Farmer Joe's attitude. 'No way are you getting my fields, but sure build a big industrial road outside my front door'! Another awesome episode of blending styles

[@thomasmitchell6026]

Another awesome entry, Egg! I am always impressed by how you choose your zoning patterns. I am using those tips and tricks in my build now! :) It truly has made a huge difference in my city. Cannot wait for the next episode!

[@spikey_104]

I saw a video about the farm between the motorway, apparently its not true unfortunately, they had just found the farmland wasn't suitable to build a motorway over (some sediment surveys found it was too soft or something unsure of the specifics) so they built around it and ig the original owner didn't bother moving since they didn't need to.

[@eden6480]

Love the walking path right up against the train line, especially as it cuts through behind Charles Darwin High School 😂

[@jcosunshine]

One of my favourite things about how you build is the connectivity of everything. You plan that out ahead of time and all the builds flow from one to the other so nicely! Really well done, a true master of your craft. LOVE this series, Egg! it's looking luscious! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@xDTHx]

I actually liked the way the jarring transition looked with the first placement you had on the fish market

[@dlaftx]

Great stuff! I think you need a crop silo in the farm area for storage tho.

[@JamessAviation]

great build egg! 1:50 looks like it could be a skyline already! cant wait to see you build with the new content!

[@currently_heather243]

The orientation king strikes again!! Such an amazing combination of everything 😍

[@lilfrisk613]

Finally found a home for those ferry, never thought about using the canals, i would have just dug a line throughout... great build!

[@DavyOordijk]

One of the few builders who doesnt need move it or any fancy mods to make a great looking and functioning city.

[@TheBlueDragon86]

Glad you finally found a home for that Ferry Depot! Looks great there

[@Bunkiiiiii]

Actually I really like greenhouse in the farm area on the island. They so every rarely are used. Or if it was (partially?) an orchard, the lore could be that's it's for families from the downtown to go pick fruits in a somewhat natural environment

[@siebejochems112]

The tram turnaround at the end of the road could be nice to combine with a bus only road coming out of that 4 way intersection. Perhaps changing out the sliplanes to create more room. From there you could bridge the tram road next to the other new bridge. It'd be small and might not be that significant but it could "bridge" the Lanhau district and Swank to the downtown and would be a great filler for that akward space. New industry looks great, happy that the ferry depot finally has its forever home. :)

[@MrDexSat]

Nice job with the ferry depot! Canals are one of those things that I feel don't work well at all in CS, so I tend to just terraform the exact width that I want and use quays in lieu of canal walls

[@nanfredman1991]

Love the combinations of cargo and industrial assets. This has become one of my favorite parts of the city!

[@oneboltshortofreason]

You can use the old tran turn around in Asia Town to end the red line and start a new line from there to head over the river. Stops the line being too long and gives a use to the turn around you detailed before.

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

I like that!

[@lfcps7945]

Love the additional ref to the M62 split motorway around the farm/house.

[@Turjan_Miir]

Nice build. You can actually put the ferry depot on a canal, btw. At least I did so in one of my cities.

[@rellyrelishes]

26:05 "you alright as well?... No you're disgusting" 😂😂dang egg that growable was just trying to live

[@nyxcuseme]

I sometimes use the small crop fields with a medium in the middle so it looks like it's one big field with a barn in it, I really like the look of it. 🙂 The fields really fit nicely in there with the train track and the electricity lines, makes it look so nice! I remember when I started to play this game years ago and just had big ugly industry blocks, you make it look so much better. :D I always have something to implement in my city after watching your videos. 😁

[@thargoff]

Great build again, love the fishing harbour and all the surroundings and the ferry canal.

[@T.C.C.797]

The city is coming along very nicely! With all the new items that were released can't wait to how you're going to include them all!!!

[@Skittles973]

The farm you might be thinking of is Stott Hall Farm in the middle in the M62. Been there for donkeys years after the owner refused to sell up. Another great build Egg x

[@4rkang31]

I almost abandoned hope of this ep when I refreshed a bunch of times and it didn't load. I'm here now!

[@joepiekl]

I think the Hearts of Korea food alley would go great near the fish market.

[@michaelw6222]

Never, ever doubt EGG. He can blend any combo of assets and make it look great. Actually turned out to be a good home for the poor, abused ferry depot.

[@rhys1841]

Hi Egg, just catching up on a number of videos of yours. I am really enjoying this series! Unsure if someone has pointed this out before but the farmhouse on the M62 wasnt actually a stubborn farmer, there is a geological fault that is oriented under the farmland and it would have made it extremely difficult to build the motorway there, so they went around his farm instead.

[@basketballscoutingworld]

What a great build! U a genius playing this game, love it!! Keep wanting to see more videos

[@christrites4251]

I finally got the DLC stuff added to my account today. The parking lots are still missing, hopefully yours will be better. Good video, cheers!

[@ClaireHindley]

Hi Egg! Great build! Really enjoyed watching today and cannot wait for the next one! (You might have seen my comments before on other vids as ClaireeFairee, but I’ve changed my name on socials now haha!)

[@PS2undneunzig]

My cold keeps on getting me nerve (now otitis media) and you keep on posting episode after episode. Thank you

[@thomaspilz]

The barrage of the donut vans had me cracking up, wth game xD

[@harrymoynan1711]

OMG in love!!! You are a true master of this game!!! Ps could you change those date palms perhaps maybe a linden or pine would be nice i just think it will tie in better that’s all 🤗. Can’t wait to see more!

[@udbhavschauhan]

Imperatur in one of their “cities skylines tricks” videos had shown how to place a road right next to a quay wall to avoid any embankments or terrain deformities. But I guess you probably already know it. Great build tho👏

[@thedoctor4637]

If you switch the one-way cut through in the fishing build to a two-way road, it would add slightly better connectivity to the warehouse and Swank suburb. (Or upgrade the road the warehouse is on to two-way)

[@jaredstivers]

I might suggest the training facilities become a greenhouse district from the farm and you turn the area across the Canal into you sport complex. It will be close enough to down town, you got a major road connect, train and space to make for parking, busses, and a large Zone for commercial. The greenhouse district would play into the green Cities organic food industry and could make something quite nice with it. Plus athletes are supposed to eat healthy

[@stephengoodwin1375]

I really loved this build

[@xcrackingvoices]

With all these fish and potato farms around I feel the workers in the new area deserve a fish and chips restaurant 😂

[@Elunegeloj]

Thank you for another great episode :) I was thinking if we could make tram line road at some point to replace the walking key and become a bridge following the river shoreline? It would be an excellent view once the downtown is built.

[@timmayer1906]

I love it, I really love it

[@landofsuchbeauty]

The farmer refusing to sell and a bypass going around his farm makes me think of Arthur Dent.

[@scartha4040]

Maybe you can call the city. Everything fits in nicely 😊

[@duckmeisterify]

Hi Egg! Absolutely love the series, can't praise it enough, and have been following avidly since day one. I've got a frustrating query for you! My train traffic is backing up outside of the map, near the cargo train hub opposite Twochurch, causing real train traffic problems in the area and meaning that lots of trains aren't getting through at all. Are you aware of any fixes for this?

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

Impossible to say without seeing it. Join our Discord, share some screenshots and someone will be able to help :)

[@melihcigdm]

What about a small regional airport around somewhere in the city?

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

I like the idea of a small airport :)

[@melihcigdm]

@@OVERCHARGEDEGG 😉🤗

[@stalfithrildi5366]

The M62 farm story is an urban legend. The ground beneath the farm wasn't suitable for a heavy motorway so the Highways Agency we're fussed about buying it. If they wanted it they could have easily got it through a CPO. The farm itself works just as well as an analogue for Egg; maybe the ground wasn't suitable so they let the farmer keep it

[@jasonlescalleet5611]

There is also a farm in the middle of Tokyo Narita airport, for a similar reason. No reason not to have one surrounded by railroad tracks and freight yards.

[@chimpolad5064]

I like the idea that the city was so furious with the farmer that refused to sell his land or give the rail companies the go-ahead to create a cargo station that the city created an entire rail spur line just because of him

[@ShaunWilliams]

Fish and Chipes from the fish farms and Potatoe crops 👍

[@ben0329]

Loving the expansion towards the downtown! Would an apartment block amongst the European Suburbia fit in to that crawl in height? I think I saw some 1x1 houses on the borders of some of the larger parks! I know 1x1 assets don’t have the best rep here but bordering the park looked okay(ish) to me

[@mdogg95]

Great work as always. Can’t wait for the big payoff once the main downtown skyline starts building up.

[@noke5095]

I hate to be that guy, I always thought the farm on the M42 refused to sell its land, it turns out that the reason the motorway splits is because of the cost to build the motorway on that land where the farmhouse was stupidly expensive as it it basically a Marsh so would of been incredibly difficult to construct the road when it was built.

[@vexcarius7100]

I can’t load my fracking game. So I’m here binging on overchanged egg’s videos

[@leeroberts1192]

You should use the Watch It! Revisited mod. It'll allow you to easily notice issues like a large area suddenly losing power

[@C-J-Con]

Infact it be cool if you made a city called little Korea (and made the thing mostly out of Asian content creator packs etc) or in one of your upcoming city's you can make an extremely large district dedicated to Asia (and you could have sub districts in it that represent the individual country's like Japan, Korea, and China )

[@firelight680]

cant wait for an airport

[@bw._5002]

That's so weird i live in manchester (not far from the M62). Everytime i drive past it you always get the dad telling the tale of how the farmer refused to move 😅

[@SirTerminus]

I think in the farm area, it needs a small silo. Both for storage as well as ... "You can take our land!.... But, you can't take our SILO!"

[@balamar123]

RIP. New patch killed my city. I need to start from the beginning. Good side? I have to listen to all you magnificient guide video.

[@julianlee9037]

thank you

[@nathanc3569]

This is starting to get bittersweet for me. I've loved being able to catch up on 3 months of content as regularly as I please. I need to start another series of yours once I catch up. What's your favourite other than this?

[@beboutbidness9616]

You could make the island where the two rivers come together a huge industrial port and railyard.

[@markdaly4384]

Otherside of the cancel would be great for the main university

[@seanpanther735]

What is that building at 1:13? Asian, for sure, with what appear to be sunken plazas or lagoons or something. I don't see it in my Heart of Korea DLC or anywhere else but I like it. Thanks!

[@gavriel5448]

I don’t understand why you don’t make double tram stops on both sides of the road so that people can ride equally comfortably in both directions?

I don't know; i still like calling it little Korea. That's my favorite part of the city.

Building a potato farm next to a fish farm obviously a good idea to estimate a countywide famous fish&chips business. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Someone can came up with a good name 😀
