When you get carried away detailing... | Cities Skylines 2

[@een_zwieber]

I absolutely love when you detail your city. The railyard and all the other little things look absolutely amazing, dont change it.

Honestly, if you can create such amazingly detailed sceneries right now, I cannot wait for this game to be fully moddable with legit custom asset support. I feel like slowly we all will receive the actual proper CS:II we were waiting for so long. You're an amazing inspiration!

[@user-wq9mw2xz3j]

yeah its gonna get mostly there. Some of the things are way better and more in depth (simulation) than we asked or dared hope for. But sadly the drawback f that outweighs the good, as the simulation performance is horrible for a big city. So this game will only be amazing for 100-150k population. Also, still too many things missing, like Bikes and small features

[@marcs1024]

@@user-wq9mw2xz3jI mean hopefully when better CPU’s come out a city of 300k will run smoothly

[@herusolares5320]

13:50 The city? That railyard is what the *whole series* is about! And I love it!!!

[@PoplarPonderosa]

I love a good detailing episode. Those neglected areas of cities between the pretty stuff make it feel real. Also the graffiti on the pillars was awesome.

[@studiolegenda]

Your detailing work - and the new tools - make C:SII finally start looking like any city builder should look like: Grimy.

[@tristanwolff2136]

This shit is so impressive, your patience in detailing is unmatched

[@derleolegal]

Detailing episodes are the best ones! I really love the railways and especially these little things!

[@Dirty.H]

You're the king of organic looking cities...Great episode!

[@fraponese]

The supports on the highway are dope. Let’s say they could’ve been built to carry more lanes or a lite rail that was never realized.

[@jordancole9374]

We have a housing problem! Let’s spend time adding a hobo village detail to show that! Yep, perfect.

[@Jaxrud]

The terrain resolution in the new game does so much when you do the terrain perspectives. Proper ditches etc makes it so believable in contrast to the low res terrain of the first game

[@-JO4K-]

You should expand the detailing to the tracks that get you into the train yard, there’s no reason to maintain those tracks in good condition, plus, you usually see abandoned rails next to the actual in use tracks, it would complete the whole thing

[@Nyaxxy]

Always so much inspiration to take away from your videos to implement in my own cities. I adore the rundown/abandoned old industrial areas and how you add them into awkward areas but are still able to give them historical context and not solely to fill the space.

[@MrMolova]

"oopsies i got carried away" yeah you did mate but my god, thats my favourite bit of the episodes work. 😂 Bravo sir

[@_Katmai]

Amazing work, but I really love the shadows off that retaining wall next to the old rail yard. The shade, the sense of enclosure is spot on. Is so accurate if you were to really walk along something like that in NJ/NY etc. A+ here!

[@tigonologdring9189]

Transform Tool:::-> Press the "Star" and then those coordinates switch from Global to Object, meaning you move the object relative to where _it_ is now and not where it is in relation to the rest of the map. Way easier! Love that old rail yard and the retaining wall with the tiled surface and overgrowth is simply superb. Rails without catenaries we're almost there on... well, we've already been there only to find the wires remain. So, no catenary plus no wires we're almost there on!

[@user-hy9kh3mz8t]

Far out mate this is insane! I've tried making detail myself but wow you've just gone to the next level here!

[@BrysonTheTomato]

the detail is incredible it looks like satellite imagery!

[@Profand0999]

I love the supports! You should keep em, in my opinion.😃

[@mrmaison4924]

So satisfying to see all that squeeky clean stuff get dirty giving the city character 😎

[@D31209]

Your detailing is amazing! Thanks for the inspiration. Abandoned railyard turned out great.

[@TheConnection12]

The rail yard could become a convention win the future!

[@alexhentschel1080]

looks great! the decals/bushes work fine for covering up the tracks. It looks like a lot of your high rise offices dont have any companies in them.

[@Freshness3024]

Please expand the city bc it’s very weird having a city with 30thousand inhabitants but with such a huge skyline

[@danonck]

Yes please, finally some proper detailing in your city! Looking forward for more of these!

[@s.o.e.]

Some ideas for the future: if someone creates steam locomotives as a asset you could give the property to a museum (for steam locomotives and industry). also parts of the old tracks could be used (like in New York) as a park above the streets. Awesome work!

[@AsherCharles]

So good to see you back in full detailing swing brother 🎉

[@twodollarstwenty]

Good to be back!

how do yall use mods lol there is literally nothing on paradox mods..

Beautiful work. Really lovely episode.

[@Jimaras21]

You my friend, are on a completely other level from us mortals... Keep up the good work.

[@tomasb704]

Amazing build as always! Btw, for the next video you should definitely check out the Recolor mod if you haven’t already. You can really get creative with it and create some more diverse and interesting neighborhoods

[@twodollarstwenty]

Cheers! Definitely will do though I’ve already recorded the next episode it’ll come in eventually

[@TheMapler1]

in my city we had something similar to this happen. Edmonton Alberta CN railyard downtown got turned into shops and a university. super cool to see historical images and images from nowadays to see some of the remnants left behind of the old railyard.

[@nsxfever9513]

Love the detail episodes. Can’t wait for us to have more custom options/mods.

[@Charades.]

Stunning, so glad you bounced back from CS2's terrible launch and have found your mojo again with all the new detailing mods.

[@lordsleepyhead]

25:38 my absolute favorite sc4 song

[@adamreynolds2372]

I love the detailing you do with the railway yard. It's giving me some ideas for my own industrial area. Just a quick point, the furthest out tracks that join at a points at the bottom don't give any space for a train to go into, not sure if that's because it's since been removed or not. Also, they do have run-around lines in yards like this so the engine can go from one end of the wagons to the other. Looking forward to the next episode.

[@cityplannermismanages]

Love your video title. DETAILERS rule.

[@stevekirkby6570]

Re the trees and undergrowth thing... one thing we don't have yet that would make a big difference is short and tall grasses (asset in cs:1). I used to use them all the time in cs:1 to soften edges without looking too wild. I'm pretty suprised at CO for not including two or three types into the default game.

[@muscleman125]

As soon as custom assets are supported I'll be ready to buy the game. This is absolutely stunning; hats off to the modders and paradox for getting things in order. This is starting to look more like what I imagined this game was meant to be. I know another few years the modding will be insane and we will be totally spoiled with the potential this game still has locked away

[@m.h_productions]

My eyes will be drawn to the beauty of that abandoned railyard and its surroundings for the rest of this series. Great detailing work! Oh, and just a heads up if you are considering going over to the new build, don't! My game keeps crashing with the mods on, but hopefully the mod creators will fix this soon.

[@Classyfication]

Really good episode! I really wish to see some more mid-rises/ medium density around the skyline to make it make more sense. It currently goes from 0-100 real quick

[@Bawambaa]

Im blown away, this looks so good dollars, i dont even know what to say :D So happy for all of your success, keep going!

[@908Dannyboy]

There is a fine line between simulation and a full time job. I find City Skylines and Planet Coaster blurring that line into oblivion. Thank goodness for mods that help lay trees in straight lines and advanced terraforming tools.

[@mauriceskyliners9873]

This video is amazing as always!

[@jemleye]

Damn this game looks so good its unreal. Few mods and the potential is so clear to see. Once we get assets this will already be the best city builder ever and for a long time into the future. Yea it's been a rough ride at times but the haters need to chill tf out

[@tysonandrewmcculloch]

I think this is your best episode ever.

[@damonhawkes2057]

Alright well, I guess I gotta start watching this series from episode 1 because this looks just so natural and real, I love it. I love the vibe of the old overgrown train yards in the middle of the city, the little neighborhood overlooking it. Honestly something about the way you built it, the train yard area with the retaining wall looks like a photo scan on top of geometry like you'd see in google maps.

[@twodollarstwenty]

Haha thanks dude! I can’t say the detailed builds are there from episode one but it might be fun watching how the series changes with mods

[@damonhawkes2057]

@@twodollarstwenty yeah thats fair, there werent any mods or a lot of detailing options when the game came out haha. but it would be cool to get the whole story of the city and see how it evolves

Plop the Growables is just a blessing tbh, especially with how better the vanilla assets are this time compared to the first.

[@Maxamillios]

I love to super detail. Honestly I was waiting for mods to come out before I could even really care about the game. Tree Anarchy, Find it, are a must! And yes trees are hard to place, cuz I want it realistic too!

[@glasgowmcglasgowfacevotegr7049]

Looks amazing - one of the main gripes I have is the apparent lack/inability of Paradox or CO to allow building assets like CS1. I just hope they haven’t left it so so long that none of the creators will be looking at doing assets for paradox mods

[@JohnnySacc]

Love the stacked supports for the highway, will try that in my city.

[@bunno7136]

love really seeing all this come truly to life with all the details

[@cooltwittertag]

really excited for the eventual subway once the city has grown to its full size

[@ARW.7]

IMO this is now looking better than cities skylines. Loved that homeless section where you were talking about the housing crisis and honestly I wouldn’t get too hung up on the train tracks, they already look so good. Bring on the big Apple!

New Dimesburgh is the Jersey City of New Dollarton right down to the skyscrapers!

[@stevengalloway8052]

Great video on the detailing! I can't wait for when the creator assets come out! 👍

[@volarc]

21:05 I would definitely get drunk with my friends at the intersection of the support of the road where the railway tracks end. very nice details to create such underground spaces.

[@joshuacaalim]

Those supports really cool. They look a bit similar to the pillars used in the Skyway Stage 3, which is an elevated expressway here in the Philippines. It's also one of the longest elevated expressways in the world. It looks incredible, but I imagine it's not great living below or near them.

[@guppo26]

What you could possibly do repurpose one of the abandoned railroads by turning it into a cycling path, something that's quite common in some European countries. Could add some small buildings like restaurant/toilets/water fountain. I wouldn't massively redevelop it, though. It does look pretty damn authentic as is.

[@wetasspaddington]

if you extend those last 2 lines forward a little bit more it makes a perfect wye(Y) junction which is very realistic and wouldn't be removed irl even if it is abandoned. plus it's simply very cool

[@CubeAtlantic]

You're detailing realistically it's dead-on eye-opening.

[@allcommentsnovids]

4:07 "pretty minimal detail work" and still better looking than anything I have ever created in this game

[@deathbomer55]

you could add a couple old train cars on the track would add a little more realism

[@wastey_arts9024]

Yo Two dollars twenty! As someone affeliated with the graffiti scene (legal ofcourse but i know a lot) it's really cool to see you doing such a good job at implementing graffiti into cities skylines!! It is definitely something that is often forgotten about so seeing you add graff to the city is really cool! But i do have some tips for you because some of the graffiti you're placing down isn't very realistic. 1) Try keeping graffiti on roofs or flat surfaces to a minimum, graffiti has to be seen by a lot of people walking or driving in the streets not flying airplanes ;) 2) Think trains, highways, retaining walls, fences, rundown places, etc... 3) Billboards and highway pillars are a big yes! 4) Think about how realistic it would be for a normal person to get to the spot, graffiti artists aren't spiderman ;) 5) Most illegal graffiti pieces have basic colours like white, black ,red ,... simple is the way to go (depending on the variety in props you have ofcourse). So try to keep really flashy colours on busy spots (where they are most likely to get catched by police) to a minimum. Over all its really cool seeing someone give attention to graffiti in a game, please keep up the good work! (And ofcourse if you are getting inspiration from NYC, as the birthplace of graffiti it is a necessity). Can't wait on the next vid!

[@twodollarstwenty]

Nice thanks dude! I’ll definitely be taking on this info. I can’t place graffiti on train cars just yet but I reckon when we can it’ll add so much realism. Next episode starts either a shot of a house full of graffiti :)

[@thecoffeemuggamer6328]

I wish the game was able to simulate a housing market. Where houses and apartments wouldn’t become abandoned but maybe “for sale or rent” for a few cycles before abandonment. That way sims could move in from being homeless or go from low property value to higher if they become educated etc.

[@joanot1076]

[@mparis130]

That little undeveloped area is like that because the owner (the descendant of one of the railroad guys) thinks gentrification sucks, so every time the city or someone else approaches him to buy the land he says no. Alternatively, there are so many heirs, they can't even be found. A lot of times it's just down to bureaucracy lol

[@boki1693]

I have an idea for you detailing guys. You should rn a contest for us that are horrible at detailing and the winner has you detail their city for them. I mean, I sit here in awe at some of the things you guys do and wish I was capable of it. I guess I could do some of the things but every time I try, I get distracted by wanting to add more things to my city rather than detailing an old thing. And I could never do some of the things you guys do anyway. So a cool thought to me is to have some of you guys detailing the cities the rest of us make, for us.
