Sandbox Microsystems reminds me of Sun Microsystems, which was a similar company founded in the 80s. Though Sun Microsystems was based in California, Sandbox could be this universe’s version it. Sandbox would be an important company, selling computers, computer parts, and even their own coding language (Sun Microsystems created Java). Also, it makes perfect sense why Sandbox would be working with a car company. As far back as the 60s, cars had computers in them. Though these computers didn’t drive the cars, they were still important and did stuff like cruise control, and sensors. The oil/fuel crisis in 1979 led to a big increase of computers in cars to control more efficient fuel usage.

[@sinsigat6504]

Ideas I had for stuff to add (I'm only at episode 17 so sorry if I repeat something you already have) 1) Night clubs and discos, I mean, it's miami in the 80s 2) a military base originally built during the 60s to protect the island 3) an old settlement of fisherman now abandoned built in the late 1800 in the swamps

[@lukemendel8197]

Maybe you could have an abandoned, rusty old steam locomotive hidden somewhere in the swamps. It could be the "Seminole Steamer" or something. Just a bit of railroading backstory.

[@cheems436]

It’d be cool if you added in a church for Cimology, as a cool reference to Springwood! Or maybe it’s more like a cult in the swamp or something?

[@danonck]

I absolutely love it when you start something small and then insanity takes over and you demolish half a city and rebuild it completely. 😅Well done, looks bloody gorgeous! Also, how does one record a timelapse like yours during detailing? I mean the camera slightly moving while you build/add props? I'd love to improve my recording skills someday.

[@twodollarstwenty]

Thanks chief! I learnt the camera trick from DirtyH. He made a video a year ago explaining how to do it in cinematic camera tool mod

[@Qtopian]

Huge residential build next please! Maybe gated communities with pools or a large residential subdivision or something. The demand is too high!

[@MirageAhlie]

Yesss, Like a beverly hills type area

[@Qtopian]

@@MirageAhlie yess. Well since it’s in miami maybe something like a palm beach or boca or a larger coral gables would be cool. It just annoys me a little when the demand for residential is so strong and nothing is done to fix it yet

[@AbedRahman-t5g]

Love the lore at the start, really brings the series to life. The temporary ore factories do look quite fitting in that industrial estate.

[@nousername102]

18:40 That moment you demolished a commercial district to build a freeway... you replicated something that happened a lot in North America. In particular the US, destroying a neighborhood to build a freeway. Nicely done! Side note; a little bit of head canon. By destroying that block, that's how the gang feud began. Between the gators and King Buns. Because King Buns had a restaurant that closed down. Not two weeks before the whole block started to be demolished. So now the gators really want to burn the house down. Both literally and figuratively.

[@CitiesByDiana]

Loving this series so much, what an amazing build.

[@schmitty8225]

I still think a speed boat arena at the world's fair is a great fit. It is quintessential 80s Miami.

[@trbcollectibles]

I am a huge fan of World’s Fairs and Expos and Cities Skylines! It’s funny to think that a lot of people don’t think they exist anymore but they do! Thank you for creating one in your City. You are the first person to do so that I have found and it’s awesome! I think the one thing your EXPO is missing is your logo and Unique Permanent Icon kinda like Universal Exposition of 1889- Eiffel Tower Brussels World’s Fair (Expo 58) - Atomium Seattle Century 21 Exposition 1962 - Space Needle 1964/65 New York Worlds Fair - Unisphere / New York State Pavilion (My Personal Favorite) Montreal Worlds Fair 1967 - Biosphere Japan 1970 World EXPO - Tower of the Sun You need to have one so after the fair is gone it will be a lasting memory of what was there and how much it meant to the people that visited it! I look forward to seeing what you create!!!

[@AnnPMadera]

Gangs you're talking about with the Sunset Riders. There actually was (apparently now defunct) a motorcycle gang in the Florida Keys and most of southern Florida. They were founded by Batistas, who fled Cuba when Castro took power. They actually got associated with the American Irish mob and were friendly with Whitey Bulger, and other key mob bosses in the United States, mostly for use in contract killings and drug trafficking. It's pretty dark stuff, but may work for your gang (given in the 80s they were actually pretty prominent, and fought with other Cuban, Haitian, Bahamanian, and Jamaican gangs from the Caribbean, but also Mafioso from Sicily, Irish gangs under the direction of Whitey, and the rival Irish gangs who opposed him, and street gangs who were either being controlled by or fighting with the larger ones, all quite prominent rivals).

[@flis9618]

You truly are the king of building realistic areas is C:S! 👑🙌 I love how you just keep changing/redoing things too make the city alive & natural & the lore makes everything extra special 🥰

[@MartyMcBrown7]

Another amazing video! 3 videos in one week ?? Blessed Definitely would be cool to see some homeless groups with tents next to those tracks in the industrial zone Maybe the cities gang has another local hangout around there? Needs some crime!

[@Ghiaman1334]

Awesome work! Loving the series. Definitely looking forward to more of the Sunriders' escapades. Maybe something illicit is happening in the new distribution centre? One of the Sunriders might be negotiating with a warehouse owner to ship goods in either direction, from outside the border to into the main goods system and back again.

[@dalton-at-work]

you can indeed have a train track crossing right next to a road intersection by using the node controller. overcharged egg shows how in ilos with trams i believe. connect the tracks to the same node as the road intersection, then use the "offset" variable on the tracks to push them to the side of the road intersection

[@XLG_Europebe]

You should start building more residential neighborhoods because in real life people would be moving in about now at a rapid pace.

[@justanotherghost4589]

Well this was a cool video! Being a railfan myself, this episode was a wonder for me, with the rail spurs and old equipment. I love it As for a recommendation, I'm not exactly sure where or how you could do this, but I'd love to see you try to make a street running line! Basically a train track that goes down the middle of the street, some even go through neighborhoods! I was thinking that road along the water with the rail line beside it would possibly be a candidate. I'm sure there's other good spots though. Anyways, great video! I love seeing the progress being made.

[@WaxYourButt]

It’s so surreal to see architecture local to me in Sunset City. I saw the Videotron Center being built IRL.

[@vsp.mxfooty]

You could add big rubbish bins outside some warehouses for even more realism! Thank you for this series :)

[@professorcoms2481]

Big episode! The amount of work you chuck into these is always so great. Even the kinda overall arc of the video you put work into, like how you keep referring back to something will get better, or something might not work out quite yet

[@jimmynuetronrblx8628]

I love how the new industrial area look, but I’m worrying that there might be to much of them. I think you should probably build some more neighborhoods, so that way the industrial area don’t take up too much space of the overall city

[@ВообщемСергей]

there is a Mod that makes realistic walking of people in Cities Skylines. put it on, otherwise people are floating on your land)🙂

[@maquotez8601]

using this city as inspo for my california inspired build, finally gave me the motivation to play the game

[@tiituu7901]

I have a idea for the Sanbox microsystems story. Idea: When the city was select to be the next place for world expo Sandbox microsystems played a big part in it and helped raising monye for it. The world expo also helped them to get known world wide

[@edwardmiessner6502]

This is a fantastic build and the warehouse area fit perfectly. But I think what would be a good addition to Sunset City is an elevated metro line going from the University over the abandoned railway to downtown and then into the northern suburbs, like the Miami-Dade Metrorail shown at 19:40. It opened in May 1985 and back then was one line running from Dadeland South in Kendall township through downtown out to Okeechobee Road in Hialeah. So I would be really happy if you built one. Thanks! 😊😎

[@ohedd]

Have you thought about making a Space Center somewhere in the outskirts of the map? We do have the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, and since the Space Shuttle was introduced in the 1980s and launched out of the Kennedy Space center it might be fitting. And if you don't want to make an entire Space Center then what about adding a Shuttle transport atop a Boeing 747. The long haul transportation of the Shuttle atop a 747 was a spectacular event, and if you're planning on making an airport, you should at least add one of those. If nothing else, it fits the rocket theme of the world fair. Have a goog and check it out if you haven't seen it before

[@bazzakrak]

Ohh I just love videos like this with massive distribution centers or harbours I love trying to create them myself and the sitting for hours and hours just moving a fence 10 pixels to the left, make a new connection be it road/rail and seeing it fall apart or not working from the start, frustrating, but man I love doing it

[@alogsdino5311]

Sandbox Microsystems gives me a serious Stranger Things vibe, like it's a front for a Classified Cold War Research Program into other dimensions or mind control, wild stuff like that. But hey, still not as sketchy as making people drink swamp water *cough cough Fab Soda* :)

[@tentaq3296]

Well the microchips in cars doesn't sound too farfetched as cars started getting their ECUs (Engine Control Units) in the late 80s. So Sandbox could have strated making these new ECUs that improved the cars to be more future proof and pave the path for other ECU manufacturers

[@deanchanghuber7264]

Would be cool if the industrial district had a rail connection to harbor. Also feels like the Sunset Riders almost definitely have front somewhere in the area, a seedy warehouse perhaps.

[@mrrothschilds9357]

are you gonna build a disneyland type thing out in the swamps? of course with its own unique sunset city brand and stuff

[@siggew6448]

Hello I am new here, I have never really watched City Skylines but I searched for it bout a week ago and I found your channel and I really just got stuck into watching episodes of Oceana City and then I subscribed to keep getting content cause man this is relaxing to watch, keep up the work man.

[@DjTheblock]

I'd be cool to see the farm the sunriders "product" comes from on the far away island, when you get to it😁😁

[@dalton-at-work]

those cars are concepts from the 70's but yea they still look pretty futuristic!

[@McArg_]

sandbox microsystems strike me as the sort of company that went bust in the late 90s due to overexpansion and i think it would be cool to allude to that sort of thing

[@nilskaspersson]

[@suprdrift]

Love the look of the industrial area! The Network Multitool mod allows you to add or remove nodes. Very useful.

[@AppleCheese12345678]

A medical complex that takes up a few city blocks would be cool. Maybe an older original building that has more modern additions to it, integrated parkade, and the new donated tower.

[@Blossom_-lp5wm]

idea for why the microchip company has their logo at the miyagi motors. is that they own the building and have built a fancy show area if technicaly advanced systems or something. and miyagi are renting the space as it aligns with their futuristic style.

[@TangerineUnicornDesign]

I love the fact that you're 29 episodes into this and you're still losing money hand over fist. You should be absolutely raking it in by now. 🤣😂🤣

[@dr.woozie7500]

I’m looking forward to seeing what you’re gonna do with the northern part of Seminole. Hopefully we can see some beaches like new Smyrna and Daytona, the space center, and orange groves in the interior with trailer parks and hillbilly towns near the lake and pine forest.

[@a300Films]

Add a half part to the fab! stadium, focusing on pigs and farm animals, kind of like a petting zoo for kids.

[@spooniiboii]

Foe the train tracks running by the water canal thing at 18:56, you should get the street running tracks by ronyx. I think it would add alot

[@samisntcool1]

Hey just thought since you like industrial rail areas you can look at this city Kelowna. the area im talking about is right above the downtown, you can see where it went to the old lumber plant and the barges used in it. Idk maybe there can be an area like that in Sunset City with the mangrove wood and in the swamps and you can have floating lumber since i know you need industry

[@robboekel]

On the whole "Microchips in cars in the 80s" thing - The first Australian car to have a fully computerised 'Engine Management System' was the VL Commodore, released in January 1986 (It was also the first new car under the new for that year Australian law stating all new cars starting that year HAD to run unleaded fuel). Point being that "Microchips in Cars" and "80s" isn't actually all that far-fetched at all.

[@delizzy5532]

I bet you already know that but, industries really need a garbage disposal close to it to function properly. This is the best series yet for me. Keep up the good work. Also wanna know you thoughts about the CSky II, are you hyped??

i like the fact that he wants to go with the 80s theme. for the architecture its great and well put together. but talking about the microchips being out of their timeline. what if he followed his own timeline, letting him develop a new story line set in the 80s.

[@Ricksdetrix]

Does anyone know how everyone does these timelapses at 23:15? Is it the cinematic camera mod and they literally detail everything while the camera moves?

[@daanjansen1949]

Perhaps you could create a steam train line from Santa Julia to the other islands since the municipality had enough money to repair the small bridges, but the large bridge to the mainland was too expensive to fix.

Where can we find the Cartel within Sunset City? I feel like these are the times when the Cali Cartel and Pablo Escobar, wanted to get their goods into the US, so maybe there is a small island close to the Keys, or within the Tampa area, where a shady drug deal could take place, like with a sea plane and some trucks, the way they used to transport it in. That would be a cool entry, maybe some mansion that one of the bigger druglords of the city could live in, or have buisness in, maybe by the Everglades.
