Underground Complex Industrial Zone - Cities: Skylines - Asturis 43

[@sergeygladkikh8520]

Asturis is such a beatiful project. Both happy and sad to see it nearing completion.

[@terceroido]

Love Asturis❤

[@geschlurpt]

my deep respect to the author for not abandoning the game in favor of the CS2

[@JerzyBaksinski]

Not that hard taking into consideration the state of CS2

[@ServantOfOdin]

Yes, these super-messy areas are greebles. Greebles are all kinds of "useless but important" clutter in an area to break the monotony and give it some kind of action, some kind of feeling that there are things that are vital for the function of whatever they are attached to. This method is widely used in CGI-making, though the name may vary. Greeble was the initial name, created by Lucas himself, who founded ILM (Industrial Light & Magic) who made the models. Foundation Imaging, who did all the stuff for Babylon 5, which also has tons of these things across all stations and ships calls them Nurnies, and the team that made the models for 2001: A Space Odyssey called them Wiggets. Generally, Greeble is the more common and widely used term. Star Treks interiors also have them often (and look at the sensor pallets on the ships! Greeble-topia!), the Aliens-francise relies heavily on them, Close Encounter of the Third Kind is basically made out of Greebles, Batteries not Included also featured them heavily.

Fusion reactors are super safe (they don't have a meltdown possibility at all) notwithstanding the operating radiation, which would probably be below background anyway

[@quakxy_dukx]

Given that they don’t produce any nuclear waste, I assume that’s the case

[@unknownPLfan]

I know you prefer above ground transit simply because it's visible but the underground industry seems like a decent lore explanation as to why Asturis doesn't have underground passenger rail or subways. I can imagine much of the industry being there to support labs in many of the office buildings or whatever it takes to build the ultra strong cables needed for the space elevator.

[@benandrews8147]

Asturis has the craziest zoning laws I've ever seen. It definately reminded me of Coruscant.

[@michaelm7484]

Best industrial zone that I have ever seen in Cities Skylines !

[@HighExplosiveSerenade]

WOW! This is brutal! I love it! I would like to see more of these areas around the city in the future... I was also wondering if you have some sort of agricultural area planned for Asturis... maybe some sort of vertical farms or maybe a high-tech ground-level farming area. Its fun to imagine Asturis being completely self sufficient in terms of energy, industry, food, etc.

[@Eliminality]

This immediately reminded me of city skylines series Mars I was really sad when that series ended, and now I'm sad that this series is coming to an end. I can't wait to see it's completion

[@ultmateragnarok8376]

Something that would've perhaps sold the 'going under the whole city' thing even more is if some of the super-high-density blocks had areas which sunk below street level, alongside the higher levels where machinery for those specific buildings are. I think the transport hub already does this a little bit, as does one area near some park or another where I recall two different styles of blocks that overlap, one being elevated above the other but only covering half the space. I think one of my favorite details in these industrial areas has to be the catwalks. They're relatively standardized in size, and even if some are a thinner variant they'll still have similarly sized railings and stairs, so they immediately show just how massive something is when next to them. The train lines being built directly 'over' the sunken pipe area is a close second, though; that is an incredible aesthetic. Seeing the scar as it is makes me wonder on how Asturis would've been built. These huge buildings need some substantial foundations, which I assume would just be the entire ceiling of the block's underground sections with support pillars anywhere they'll fit, and all the weight of the tunnels diverted to those areas. But presumably there would be a time during construction where the eventually-underground areas are open to the sky, before the surface is replaced and the towers go up atop that. Clearly, the scar isn't meant to be one of those just unintentionally left forever open - it's got none of those pillars and so forth for the areas above, and all the smokestacks and entrances are there. But it is interesting to think about how it would've just been built like any other place, initially. On the topic of entrances, the placement makes me a little surprised that there isn't some high-importance cargo line from the high speed rail that cuts through the city that diverts to it - it's _right_ there next to the track, after all. But I suppose if that was needed it could just be sent to the normal station and carted underground anyways.

[@Gelatinocyte2]

I imagine The Scar is some kind of holdout of old, "diesel era" tech/industry, judging by the fires it's spitting out on some of the vertical pipes. The trains in there also kind of look like trams - and cargo trams are a thing, especially in the past; so I guess Asturis has a network of cargo trams, which would be narrow enough to allow space for the foundations of the larger buildings going deep. The underground industrial road network would also house the utilities and other such infrastructure, probably, so I imagine they double as maintenance tunnels.

[@danbstep]

I think Asturis, the Space Elevator and now this industry complex need a BIG energy generation project. Maybe a giant solar or wind farm, maybe a big damn, maybe all of the above. ⚡

[@JPminer814]

I think this area reminds me the most of fluxtrance's Avelon series which I was a huge fan of. Really like the industrial area.

[@kertaspaper94]

I miss Avalon. I miss Fluxtrance.

[@adellsparda2437]

Doing so beautiful and functional those parts is something so hard that makes the whole build even better. You make it elegant, coherent, aesthetic and, heck, I guess even those on the high floors that could watch it from above won't complain as the area feels impressive as long as you like these technical parts that make a city going. I imagine a lot of people actually wanting to have a view of such a nicely developed area. Thanks for another great build, Akruas.

[@thedesertfox5990]

Honestly my favourite build you've done so far. Been playing Cyberpunk recently and absolutely inlove with the gritty futuristic industry style in that game and you capture it so well. Would love to see some smaller like 'mini scars' throughout the city, maybe just like a small cutaway with exhaust vents, chimneys and pipping extruding from the undercity. Keep up the amazing work!

[@brainlessteddy]

what a crazy project. I love how it looks and the reasoning and "lore" behind it.

[@JamesThagarius]

I'm so happy you continued the Asturis series! I thought it'd end by the first-person tram ride video. Can't wait to see the city at its full glory and fully integrate into its surrounding environment. By the way, that "Messy Star Wars style" you mentioned is a technique called "Greebling."

[@petitkruger2175]

I love your videos so much! the difference between Industry-residental kinda reminds me of courasant from star wars

[@dominiknagyfeju998]

you're doing such an amazing job with this city cant wait for a cs2 multiple years series when you feel like finished with asturis and altengrad

[@martinferjancic]

im so happy cities skylines 1 content is again more desirable on internet than cs2, so you will continue on asturis

[@Sarnahanfi]

love how it lively it looks once cars, trams and people are moving around! great job!

This is instantly my favorite part of the Asturis city. So amazing to see the results!

[@nathanbrammer8471]

Good to see people coming back to CS 1

[@bleh-v8q]

The water was a really cool idea. Excellent video

[@Gelatinocyte2]

I think they're all just steam. It's the blazing smokestacks that's unrealistic for this setting.

[@theorixlux]

You have perfected the art of timelapses in this episode! I personally wouldve preferred more building but I am keenly aware that I speak for a minority of people. This timelapse was nonetheless great, genuinely

[@theorixlux]

Correct me if wrong, but the style of layering futuristic buildings with grimy under layers of industry is just called cyberpunk (not the game, although the game contains many great examples of cyberpunk)

[@hexo1008]

Love this project some fun fact fusion reactors are extremly safe if the manage to explode there wont be much happening only some serious damage to the reactor itself, but everthing else should be fine, fusion reactors do not involve chain reactions that cannot be stopped unlike nuclear reactors. PS: I only think it is an interesting topic and I am not an expert and my informations are not 100% correct

[@danielw.2442]

almost like a city-state colony on another planet... absolutely stunning

[@Coolz85]

I can't believe how incredible you can make this game and the options you have when you compare it with CS2. It really does feel like they took 20 steps back....

[@PauxloE]

Looks nice. Are there any cargo trains actually moving? If not, maybe you need to add some cargo train stations. Maybe one in the scar area, and one underground somewhere in the city (with rails going here)?

[@tillmannsinger9016]

It's crazy how big the city is already, feels like episode one is a month old🥲

[@WilliamDaley-p2q]

very detailed, can't do this much as a console player. Can't wait to se more!

[@MicleFirst]

This fire animation looks a bit weird and too intense. But I REALLY like how you portrayed this part of the city. I hope you will add more industrial areas in the future

[@lorenzop.g.5425]

beautiful, but the chimneys are made like this to release the gases at high altitudes if they are positioned underground technically the fumes are at road height where there are the citizens

[@baconwizard]

Love the style of the thumbnail!

[@beni_benyei]

such a satisfying before and after... the city is beautiful man!!

[@Maeniel83]

This whole section could be a refunctioned mining operation area. Anyways looks awesome :)

[@ulysse2145]

Always a great pleasure to see a new video from your channel !

[@TheNewOrder-DaysOfConflict]

This map makes every average-performance computer in the world explode like fireworks in the new year

[@SawShalomThikeMoe-pv3yu]

When I watch your video, I feel like I'm in your city. It feels amazing. When I heard that you will end this project soon it makes me sad bro.But thank you so much for this wonderful project.

[@igirus9549]

This looks so cool! I love your creativity

[@omilan9872]

Maybe those big tanks are bioreactors where they produce the necessary food for the city

[@SavageCommentaryOriginal]

my guy. i haven't watched thi syet. but wanted to remind you that you are appreciated. you elevate the art of it all.

[@kronkolweg5917]

Don't know if it's been commented already; I think the star wars thing you mean might be either kit-bashing, where you take premade assets and put them together, or greebling, where you add functionless 'stuff' to a model to add detail.

[@Phineas_Freak]

How is it that when you introduce the build, I fully expect a long history about the development of sunken industrial areas from the second world war to the 90s in Central Europe.

[@benard-tha3rd]

ngl u might be the best builder in cs

[@Ad1tputra]

One of the best builders. But this is a whole new level

[@benard-tha3rd]

you not liein@@Ad1tputra

[@mauriceskyliners9873]

Great video!

[@Dman1998]

Dang now’s the time to move into that luxury residence next door to the “scar”, the rent just lowered due to land value decrease!

[@蠍驧籲衋鸍虪鸝龘]

i always feel down on fridays. the only thing that keeps me going are these videos, i love them so musch

[@RoccondilRinon]

The design technique you refer to with the Death Star etc is known as “greebling”.

[@KD-469]

This city looks like Super earths capital (from Helldivers 2)

[@ofirnaveh7666]

amazing build as always, great work :)

[@bradgotthis3744]

wow cant say anything on that but demn so beautiful

[@sooscar6214]

That looks fantastic

[@anotherone-xp9ox]

Hooray. More Asturis!

[@juanibanezsoro6641]

brutal, amazing episode

[@Luis-vv5gq]

You should create a project in this series that is similar to "the line" which is being built in Saudi Arabia. From the mountains or stretching over the water. Would suit this series really well

[@javierwong]

The whole zone looks interesting. Though the logistic zone seems to be not connected to the city directly which seemed strange, maybe a connection is required to go above the industrial zone or connect them together

[@Amogoos4690]

Not sure if this is what you were referring to, but those details on models (including Star Wars ships), are often called “greeblies”

[@ryanthes9133]

THE BEST cities is back!!! let's go!!

[@ceccascorp8149]

I would like to see buildings in the other side to really make the Scar name stand out

[@ceccascorp8149]

This is absolutely fantastic 😍😍😍

[@dialog_box]

17:00 the term is greebles or greebling!

[@Quarhodron1]

I think about workers in Asturis and the rest of the world - ooo you are from Asturis? you must work in space elevator - no, i work in the pit... we also call it the scar... that sound scary xd

[@addzhvb]

I love the Asturis project, the way you talk and build, I think you are one of the most, if not the most talented builders in Cities Skylines edit: Will there be something like slums?

[@chrisc3701]

another incredible episode.

[@reszela4973]

You put building from Poland, Poznań called Okrąglak next to the crossing. Im walking everyday next to this building :0

[@vxnc8536]

maybe try and implement some sort of ventilation because a pit this large would attract a lot of pollution

[@jacksonbarkerthebluehairedfox]

This is what Starfield's New Atlantis could've / should've been

Maybe add a control/security tower/center and it will be simply perfect ❤

[@KidCaduceus]

Star Wars/model making term: "Greeblies"

[@francocastronuovo3057]

amazing job man!!, is there going to be a savegame available in the steam ws in the future? i think many people would love to play and expand/detail asturis!

[@mariogaming7689]

I love Asturis, too quick to see it go 😢

[@Ondar007]

Wow that looks great 😁

[@Alexander_O]

Please tell me what kind of mods do you use in the game? Including changing the interface, everything I set works incorrectly or does not work at all.

[@Ad1tputra]

Check the description.

[@Alexander_O]

@@Ad1tputra Oops, I guess I'm a little blind, thank you!

[@linusfloyd9034]

awesome episode!

[@murat_buyuk]

Amazing work

[@jezusbloodie]

Such a cool feature!

[@SokaRome]

BABE . WAKE UP , U KNOW THE DRILL BY NOW

[@phenethylamine91]

If you've played Fallout 4, you can name the new industrial area The Institute. XD

[@blueingmatter3117]

AMAZING IDEA

[@MrGustavier]

Is there a cargo train (functional) station in the "Scar" ?

[@TheCircuitBoardYT]

17:10 Retrofuturism?

[@CrabmanReturns]

Sauron's orc factory

[@snsey_fufu6727]

Yesss I love this so much

[@doublea06]

It took going to make this!

[@magnushmann]

Do all your S'es sound a little weird in this episode?

[@tamborero2645]

very cool

[@idtio]

maybe that style is steampunk?

[@ILikeBlackholes77]

Steampunk is more steam focused and its kind of the opposite of futuristic stuff

[@wolframxx5580]

I think this would be more like dark industrial cyberpunk

[@Gelatinocyte2]

He was referring to Greebles - the art style/modelling technique where a bunch of detailing is added to make something seem more functional than it wouldn't have if it were left as a plain, flat, monotonous surface.

[@coopz76]

Wow.

[@cezarjulius6564]

I very like yours videos, they are full of content which is so satisfying, inspiring and so on. I want to build as good as you, somehow I learnig with Procedural Objects, trying to build more accurate cities and so on. But I have a problem with ploppable asphalt, pavement, grass and this kind of "platform". They don´t show up. I have noidea what causes it. Can anyone help me? I will very appreciate your help. Thanks.

[@Triliton]

Eyecandy!!!! :)

[@mausebiker123]

❤

[@The_Champion_96]

There should be function before things created

[@Salad69420]

build more at altengrad

[@pistakrk4888]

ypeeeee

[@lht9600]

Are we even playing the same game at this point?

[@SoBadOmg]

Please give me your all assets, from this map and other if you want, thx:)

[@dirkdriessen1133]

Nice. May i suggest you build another smaler place like this somewhere else to intensify the atmoshere that Asturis has a bomplete underground area? Fantastic work anyway. I admire your talent
