Urban Transitions | Inspirational Builds | Cities: Skylines II

Mid-rise residential and office buildings would make this so much easier.

[@ALECXANDER.]

This is so needed

[@jceess]

If we had 1 additional building variation per size/level, that was maybe 1/2 - 2/3 as tall as the others in the 'medium' density and 'mixed' sets, it would go a long way.

[@ThE4EvRPs3GaMeR]

I agree. It would make the transition so much cleaner!

[@brycestewart7228]

Agreed. I love this game but it's clear it needed another year in development so it could've been more cohesive. Still they can fix it with free content and updates

[@lenajk2004]

and lower mixed use so that smaller cities don’t look so tall

[@castle_habor]

We need a medium-density office building

[@macaidwin]

And maybe mixed use office and commercial would be nice

[@DBT1007]

what define 'medium density" ?/ there is no answer. it's either low dense or high density. or maybe change it to low, mid, high rise. but even high rise doesn't mean it's high density and low rise doesn't always mean it's low density.

[@dr.darkroom]

And maybe half the other features from CS1

[@splashgod]

Sprinkling in the height change can also add to the realism. Like in real-life cities, there is sometimes an odd high rise that stands out in a medium-density area. Or a set of townhouses in your downtown core protected by "heritage bylaws".

[@shaundodd7390]

Those 'mid' density residential towers are absolutely massive. 3-7 stories would've made way more sense.. Almost every city in the world would class them as very high density. It means that you only need a tiny town of 10,000 people before the city can start to look like Manhattan. I guess it will keep the children happy.

[@coheneastman6523]

I know this is so annoying. The game keeps wanting me to build sky scrapers but I still only have a tiny little town

[@botaohenryfeng9587]

@@coheneastman6523@ coheneastman6523 There isn't enough Medium-density demand closer to the late game. I wish the tax is done by zone type so that I can stimulate the exact zones I want.

[@ThE4EvRPs3GaMeR]

Facts, even a 2x2 high density is freakin tall af. Like whyyy ​@coheneastman6523

[@josefwitt9772]

I liked to use the "high rise ban" back in CS1 to both smooth the transition and keep from having a giant sea of tall buildings. Would love to see this functionality some day is CS2, especially at the time when mod assets can be created / used. Good things in store for CS2!

[@maciejgrabowski2228]

Hello, are you planning to add animations for buildings that are in construction?

[@WatchmanEvan24]

They already confirmed that they are

[@MatthewMKF]

​@@WatchmanEvan24Thank God, do you know when they'll be added

[@Slay3K]

Thank you for the opportunity!!!!

[@beeeeber]

Constraints do indeed foster creativity. Currently in CS, you can essentially paint the all map as you please. You're discussing the idea of breaking away from the grid, but there are no constraints driving the player to do so. Soft or unstable ground, impassable cliffs, marshes, ancient forests, beaches, and wildlife protection areas could address this need.

[@averagezing]

This is why we need so many more assets.

[@shakestylz2823]

Great video Slay! Your tips for breaking up the grid are great!

[@botaohenryfeng9587]

I use the policy of urban growth boundaries, where I seek to fill the downtown side boundary area with high (med or high density) buildings and suburbs outside of it. This helps keep the city from spreading out too much. This is done in some cities for the same reason. For coastlines, I have some smaller buildings giving way to taller and taller buildings within a block. But I use medium density a lot compared to high density buildings so I have tall towers sprinkled about with many medium height apartments. I do use tall office buildings for a more impressive sightline.

The game keeps getting better slowly with every update. Just one more big problem to tackle for me. When is the console release date?

[@uzaydaisemekisteyenadam4543]

Instead of dealing with such explanations, please focus on the tools that will allow us to build on curved corners. It is still not possible to build buildings suitable for curved corners such as ovals and triangles. Even though we are in 2024, we cannot do this either. We have been building square cities since the 90s. For this, you can integrate modes such as "RICO" into the game. You should give us more architecture, more animation tools that will make the city feel alive. Also, much more animation is needed to make the city feel alive.

[@sergiofasano92]

[@Madsynth1987]

Exactly. I'd love to have custom lot sizes and shapes. Square lots are ok, but in the real world, lot dimensions come in all kinds of shapes and sizes.

[@fresh7s]

This is how I’m building my city. Little to high

[@finn4240]

when are assets going to be released... its very boring having the exact same buildings for literal monthsss

The Asset Editor and custom asset support is making good progress and we are hoping to release it, in beta, this summer.

Good tutorial! I love this game since its beginning in CS1 and I really would love seeing CS2 thrive, so, please, fix the bugs! Specially the ones related to the Land Value, for example: the complains about High Rent, it doesn’t matter what I do, it never gets solved, or release a tutorial about this. 😢

My game is broken for a couple of weeks. The major symptom is when I place an asset, it does not render. I've removed all of the Mods folders I could find (I heard that solved the problem for some folks), didn't seem to work for me.

[@dedse3]

After that much-needed apology, the recent improvements and that 'DLC' turned into a 'patch addition' kind of thing, I'm starting to get a little more positive about the development of the game. Also, the mods additions really helped a lot on raising my enjoyment of the game

Did they fix the simulation yet? Last time I played, traffic and public transit had no influence on each other, and my income randomly went from giving me infinite money to bankrupting me in a matter of a minute. Also the zoning + land value system is really weird, makes the game unnecessarily complicated.

[@chan_soo0519]

The public transport system in Cities 2 is a complete mess. It’s like they’ve tossed punctuality out the window. Sometimes, buses stop for over 5 minutes in real time, even with the simulation speed set to 1. Meanwhile, all the buses and trams behind are left waiting indefinitely. In real life, reliability is everything for transit systems, but Cities 2 seems to have forgotten that. I was managing with mods, but now even those aren’t working. Why do players have to rely on mods for basic functionality that should be in the vanilla game?

[@spj4188]

Paradox should just make it a city painter. Remove the economy, supply chain, and education all together because they don't work and/or have no meaning. The game forces you to build high density and then basically stops low or medium density from being sustainable, stu8pid sustainability meter. All the sims are renters. In this game, renters pay taxes. Meanwhile in the real-world owners/landlords pay taxes not renters. Wealth Highly educated sims complain about rent constantly or how small their domicile is. Even if you have low-income housing available sims still move into a home they hate and then complain about it. The logic is backwards. I could continue but I won't. I know everyone has heard enough. Wooosah.!!!
