check out Qoushik's Mini Track Services mod. It lets you plop station tracks that act like fully functional cargo stations, and the mod doesn't even need Asset Packs Manager (at least in my case)

[@twodollarstwenty]

Great! I didn’t even know they existed. Thanks!

[@cadenvickery3382]

@@twodollarstwentywhat are the mods that you use called?

[@SephStuff]

I think a lot of your frustration with the game is just that your population is too low - it’s still a town-sized population but you’re building infrastructure for a megalopolis. Get those numbers up and there will be more cims on the map to use the infrastructure

[@trip1]

those infrastructure should generate a ton of trips on their own though and none? game simulation is known to be pretty shitty

[@pdcj25]

There seems to be a lack of traffic in this game in general as well

[@CitiesInRetro]

To increase traffic at your harbor: 1. increase minimum taxi fair to 50$ 2. Reduce ship prices to free 3. Increase prices on any outside connection public transport options 4. Removes outside bus connections and connect youre harbor areas to destinations within the city

[@mikelewis9499]

Or.. Use a Mod.. lol

[@lasseheims3117]

Or.. add jobs to the harbour region instead of just placing down assets that don't actually act as industry

[@caramelldansen2204]

Would a passenger train station there help?

Such a beautiful city. You are such a talented person! Thank you for sharing your content with the world!!

[@twodollarstwenty]

Thank you for watching!!

[@wyntoniscringe]

I think the reason companies aren't moving in is because you don't have enough specialized industries. Without them, companies will have to import raw materials to manufacture, and it would be too expensive, so they don't move in. The cost of importing is also higher, because there is no direct access from the highway and the import trucks will have to go farther to get there, which makes the cost higher.

[@thesheq5023]

Hey rail guy here- in your fiddle/ holding yard make a run around track just connecting the far siding back to the main junction. Allows engines to go from the front of the train to the back

[@twodollarstwenty]

Great advice thanks!

[@Saurion1]

Big infrastructure is always a pleasure to watch. Now it just needs a big ass interchange to connect it to the highway network!

[@randomproductions1650]

Great video as always but if i could say something a highway connection is a big piece of infrastructure currently missing, nobody can access either the new industrial area or adjacent suburbs by highway because the closest connection is at the cbd! I would say that one connection / exit would definitely be necessary but honestly even two would be ideal. Just my suggestion!

[@True_NOON]

As a registered and fully honored trainguy with a foamer PHD , the tracks look industrial , tho there would be some cross connections (in this for decoration) aswell as some few extra yards especially on the bundeling points

[@resethel3843]

Yea, tourism is broken, so you won’t have much traffic by sea, air, or even road (outside connections that are not transit). The post sorting, and even the industry are broken as well at the moment, as delivery truck are not used by industry. A solution is to disable - through policies - heavy traffic so a lot of delivery trucks are sent, or just wait for CO to fix all that. And for the bus path thingy, you can also add waypoints by dragging out a point on your road outside of the stops (like how you would drag out a stop, but not connecting the point to the stop). With carefully places waypoints, you can circumvent the wonky pathfinding mechanism

[@Syphirioth]

I have 400 tourists monthly without even trying tho. made 40k a month from it at one point. but no hotel rooms. I have 2 trucks grabbing goods for my dock. Probably not need much more atm. I have semi trucks going into post facility. it actually pretty busy. and it are semi trucks owned by cargo harbor. Delivery vans going out of it owned by the facility. I see delivery vans owned by named industry.

[@h.f6364]

tourism isn't really broken (tourists appear normally for me) but hotels are, they don't spawn

[@MyOvercoat]

Yo the Sim City 4 music was a pleasant bit of nostalgia. Great job man.

[@alextjb]

shouldn’t the busses pull through the stop? that way they exit along the same path as the taxis. also, this is a fairly big infrastructure undertaking… but I would expect the industry to have been there first and the cruise ship port to be fairly new. If that’s the case then I could easily see an off ramp from the highway going underground and popping up just for the cruise ship port to deliver people to and from that. This is primarily because you would NOT want to have civilian vehicles using the same road that all these trucks and 18 wheelers are using and slowing everything down. Coming direct from the highway makes the connection much more efficient as well… which will encourage the CS2 cims to use it more. Lastly, this just popped into my head… but the cruise line could be called: Centennial Cruise Line CCL More of a QE2 high end cruise line rather than a Royal Caribbean.

[@ShaunWilliams]

Loving this build. For that bus terminal custom entrance, first, the paths you placed were 2 way, you could do one way to force an entrance and exit. Also you can just add waypoints to the bus path to force the path to were you want.

[@C-JAYY-999]

This area will look so good when finished, can’t wait. Do the streets already have street lighting, esp. around the post sorting facility? Feels like the place that’d operate at night so could really elevate the detail

[@twodollarstwenty]

Same I can’t wait to see it all complete! I’m not sure if there’s lights I haven’t seen it at night haha. Some big lights in the industrial yards would be great fur detail

[@Jazz-Man1910]

For the cruise terminal you could call it the Port of New Dollarton Passenger Terminal. The name would reflect how it is in New York where the port itself is not in New York, it's entirely on the Jersey side. Also, maybe the it could serve Royal Oceanian, MMSC (Marble Mountain Shipping Company), and Funfair Cruise Lines.

[@davidkornuta7358]

Yes!! Love the scale of this port and rail yard! The invisible cargo stations are going to be especially cool as more industry use them

[@csch1510]

32:08 perfect spot for a recycling/waste sorting facility. They provide Service for the industry. Cleaning Containers. Handeling dangerous chemicals. Plus the access to water for extended tasks. Very good choice 2 Dollars

[@vladFirke]

ok not bad, but i think one main cargo station with 4 additional buildings get 30t of goods and from that you create few lines from main cargo station to small cargo stations so in this way smaller traffic and make more stance in logistic way :) also you need industry or commercial so that can use that routes :)

[@MrMolova]

[@mikelewis9499]

I love your city skylines videos! Your my favourite youtuber!!! :)

[@timokho20]

Dont forget to connect to the highway! Industry in real life exists in the places it does because of its connectivity! It definitely needs at least 1 good highway connection, if not more. Would love to see a massive complex interchange where the current two bridges meet with additionall on and offramps. It will definitely also increase traffic in the area as you'd also get some through traffic whereas right now its a bit of a dead end with no businesses even there.

[@madeyeQ]

The trash build-up could actually indicate you are missing road connections to the buildings. I ran into that one with some of my farms. As soon as I fixed the connection issue, the garbage was picked up and more trucks with goods would also leave.

[@invention64]

Yeah I'm not certain but it seems like buildings don't work when trash piles up

[@madeyeQ]

@@invention64 The weird thing when I ran into my issue was that there were no indications that any road connection were missing. It was only after I re-drew the road that trash was picked up again.

[@hooimeijerf]

Hey, there's a mod that removed the traffic dillution. Since CS2 removed a percentage of vehicles as the city grows. This should increase traffic in the entire build. It also has a scale to fine tune how many cars spawn. You should give it a go! I think it's called Traffic Reduction Remover or something alike.

[@namanimations5409]

I recall you asking a name for your Manhattan part of the city yet to be built, and I think it should be called Mint-hattan, because mint is popularly used to refer to money

[@happythoughts01]

1. The Buses will take the right way if u add a waypoint. 2. city planner plays got some custom train cargo staition by a moder, maybe u can grab them too

[@deetoher]

I can't wait to see what sort of traffic chaos you create with custom roads using the roadbuilder mod. I can see some interesting applications for disused railway lines running down a street.

[@i_bims_simobs7179]

Hey, I think the problem with industry not moving in is that what you've placed down are warehouses. When zoned these only plopp up when there's enough manufacturing/specialized industry to produce the goods stored. So you might need more of that. Love the built tho!

[@frankadamo2893]

Rockwell: concrete rubble and smooth terrain brush. It creates a perfect rock quay that conforms to the angle of the terrain. Add some bigger rocks and small bushes and it looks great, I use it all the time.

[@Martin444444444]

Tourism is broken they will never come due to bug. Hopefully the devs can patch it.

[@AlexandraZacharias-y9f]

The city looks great! Just a tip, the buses would most likely not use a built-up terminal especially at a cruise hub, but would use a little concrete loop like at 16 St, Maplewood, and West orange. Otherwise it would stop in a parking lot like at Jersey Gardens Mall.

[@theorixlux]

16:50 i recommend naming the port/cruise line/shipyard (or whatever lore you pick) as "Magnificent"/"The Magnificent"/"Le Magnifique". irl, the new jersy shipyard was in a city named after Phillip Kearney. A wealthy lieutenant in the early 1800's. He earned the nickname "Kearny the Magnificent/Kearny le Magnifique" while studying cavalry tactics in french Algeria due to his "bravery" (i feel like its a gentle-mocking or inside-joke kind of honorific).

[@Yoghurtmale8]

You should call the cruise ship “Vogelstadt America Line” as a reference to JeremyThunders great series and the real life Holland America Line

[@PanemEtCircuses]

Even though this is more centered on Bayonne, maybe look at the tracks across the bay in sunset park which are still visible.

[@matthewdavidpost]

I wonder if the garbage full issue at the Sorting Office is the cause of no vehicles. I know when garbage piles up at a Power Station, you get huge problems with producing power. Maybe the same thing for Sorting Office and other buildings

[@rumraket38]

All you need to increase harbor activity is to make some actual industry in the area. Build actual factories and industrial areas!

[@citieman]

You could call the cruise dollar cruise

[@noahkohn9350]

Or “One Dollar, 10 Cruises”

[@terrytekify]

I know this is not related to the industrial area, but maybe consider subways for your densely populated areas and especially once your version of manhattan comes around? I mean more choices of public transport can't hurt right

[@PigeonsandCapybaras]

Name the passenger ship lines after the connecting city they go to, E.g. if their destination is a town called Melbourne, call it the Melbourne Cruiseliner or something like that

[@PurelyAJD]

The waypoints also work on bus lines and you can use them to force all the busses to enter from the same side.

[@alexhentschel1080]

im pretty sure you can make that cargo port warehouse extension functional by first placing the main building, then adding the extension and using anarchy to move it outside the circle the placement area/blue circle.

[@TMaekler]

I think the invisible road you put into the bus station was 2way. With the 2lane 1way it should work...

[@josephb.1425]

You're placing warehouses and not factories. I think (though I'm not totally sure) that warehouses are leased out by the companies that lease out factories. Even when a company buys a warehouse, it doesn't have employees. It's a storage space. To get industry going, I think you'll need more factories.

[@twodollarstwenty]

Ahh that makes sense thanks!

[@EdwardM-t8p]

My name suggestions for the cruise ship terminal and the cruise line: Terminal: Hough's Neck Passenger Ship Terminal Cruise Line: Redbridge Cruises Hough's Neck after the peninsula the terminal landfill is added on to, and Redbridge after the bridge spanning the gap from the bay to the sea.

[@WarDaddy66]

This is what I’ve been waiting for

[@SGTkrusha]

I've had issues with companies moving into industry buildings too. But it's only the warehouse/storage buildings. I think they have some kind of hidden demand that is separate from manufacturing buildings. If you think about it though, why would a city need to store goods in a storage building if the manufacturing buildings and cargo terminals all have internal storage?

@@twodollarstwenty that is very exciting! Super intrigued how you’re going to tackle it dude

[@Syphirioth]

I think it doesn't function cause your road is not aligned with that entry onto the facility. You have it angled over the corner of the facility. It one of the reason I barely place anything with anarchy XD

[@Nerdchacho]

In terms of getting more tourists in.. could you do a similar technique to the one you are doing for your industry and the shopping mall? Have a central building that has a tonne of parks hidden inside it?

[@nadkudo1798]

For custom cargo I THINK you need to include some storage for it. City planner or Biffa got some smaller specialized cargo stations assets as well iirc. Edit: found it, CPP's MC #31 he talks about it at the start. Also, having that passenger port isolated in that heavy industrial area doesn't really make much sense to me lol both in-game and irl. All the ones I've seen tend to split cargo/fishing to the outskirts and passengers closer to the city and/or touristy spots.

Adding more residential and in general just increasing your population will also increase traffic at the cruise terminal.

To make the passenger harbour more busy, maybe you could branch of a tram line over to the harbour. That way it'll look cool and be "sort of" realistic, and i will increase the passenger amount on the harbour.

I think one of the issues is that you got a small population, I live in a small european city around the same size as that, and industry like that for a city like mine i would imagine wouldn't really work either, there is just not enough workers, i think its best if you grow the city by double or triple and only then should the industry area work properly, I mean literally the best comparison i could give this industry area is the industry at the major rotterdam ports, a large city in my country, a port industry area like that needs a large city to fit with it
