Starting A City in Cities Skylines 2!

[@smokedsalmon_fillet7430]

Finally after 4 months, Yumbl undied

[@YUMBL]

C:S2, good enough to raise the dead? 🤔

[@smokedsalmon_fillet7430]

@@YUMBL Yes is surly is

[@holker_]

When he said “I’ve waited for this moment for a long time” and I immediately thought “4 months is kind of a long time” lmao

[@teoornelas]

​@@YUMBLso good to see you back! We missed you!

[@pbilk]

I thought I just thought KZbin's algorithm put Yumbl out of my suggestions but he just hasn't posted on KZbin for a long time.

[@seriphyn8935]

Two things I'm glad to see... - Distinct rowhousing as a separate zoning as you mentioned. No more organizing themes based on the mere 2 zones we got in C:S1 (and we haven't even got to mixed housing yet! I really wonder how that'll blend in with rowhousing as it seems to aesthetically fit in as medium density commercial) - The suitability mechanic will actually guide a story of your city rather than it being on the player to come up with a narrative to help expand their city.

[@TheDeadmanTT]

I'm glad to see YUMBL uploading again!

[@mdmagnusson]

I'm embarrassingly excited about paths creating crosswalks

[@erikaverink8418]

You are not the only one.

[@mycroft16]

Seriously loving the underlying growth mechanics they have implemented. It feels much more like how a real city would dynamically grow and shift. Commercial demand increasing and higher density residential driving low density residential further out, etc. That is a beautiful thing to see and will make the gameplay and look feel much more organic. Also love that they have incorporated the world all the mods were doing to get intersections to actually work and look good. Lane markings, arrows, roundabouts, etc. I'm not going to know what to do with myself, so much time freed up by not having to lane mark and prettify so many intersections. :D Really curious to see what mods hang around and what new ones are implemented.

[@Urban3009]

Colossal Order is a finnish company and a fun fact about those small roundabouts and the ability to put them anywhere you want is that, here in Finland, they are literally everywhere in the cities.

[@mikkolukas]

No roundabouts are not everywhere in the cities. Helsinki only have 114, Tampere 33, Turku 21, Oulu 67, Jyväskylä 55. .. or maybe you live in Oulu?

[@liampustkowski7192]

I'm from the UK and we have tons of roundabouts so I'm glad to see them in the game!

[@Pystro]

Looks like we finally have (or will be getting) a city builder with the road flexibility of C:S1 and the sensible and realistic features that we (or the older gamers among us) knew from SimCity 4. Namely: area desirability overlays; medium density zones; power import/export; ... and probably more. And there's even one feature which I haven't seen anywhere else: Sensibly sized power lines (unless you count the suburban power line asset for C:S1).

[@fltfathin]

agreed, i see a healthy ratio/ scale between building and road too,

[@CitiesSkylines]

He's back!

[@dproudfoot]

Yay

[@juankovacs6033]

18:18 yeah, the famous "15min cities" where you have everything (from groceries to basic education) within a certain radius so you can walk or go in a bicycle there. Not very popular in the US, but here in western Europe is very common in big-medium cities. Edit: btw, thanks devs for not force me to use mods to have a decent experience

[@Zreezy]

“If it’s good enough for chickens, it’s good enough for me.” Truer words have never been said lmfao Amazing - thanks for the video, Yumbl!

[@MrVeeBlog]

Yesterday Yumbl, I spent actual money on Skylines II. I can't wait to build and sprinkle some fresh Yumbl-Spice in my city. Thanks for this drop. All the best.

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

No, welcome back to you 👍 😁👍

[@YUMBL]

The Yorkshire Gold has been hitting the spot! Great recommendation :)

[@SusanAverello]

I watched several of these half hour, first steps videos from a number of KZbinrs but yours has got to be the best- you were the only one who pointed out details that really tweaked my interest, like the optimal consumer zone and the chicken industry ro number a few. Bravo for a well done and detailed without being overwhelming video.

[@Konstantin0pel]

Let the new Era with CS:2 begins. We look forward to hundreds of new videos from you over the next few years YUMBL

[@DeadJuicebox]

I like how CS:2 refers to both CSGO 2 and Cities Skylines 2, and people are excited for both releasing in the future

[@astrognash.]

Yumbl is risen! I'm beyond thrilled with how much more in-depth the simulation is, the end of October can't come soon enough! 😁

[@lelosaiyan2550]

Can't wait to see more of your content when Cities Skylines 2 is fully released!

[@HudsonJamesGaming]

"Hello, I'm Hudson from Skyline Chronicles, and your Cities: Skylines channel has become a delightful part of my city-building journey. Your cities are a testament to your dedication and imagination, and they truly stand out in the community. Your videos not only entertain but also educate, and I appreciate the valuable insights you share. Your passion for the game is evident, and I'm excited to witness the continued growth of your virtual metropolises."

[@MaydayAggro]

I love the commercial concentration mapping also. It makes it very easy to create a commercial zone that can be surrounded by medium density housing.

[@erikaverink8418]

I am Dutch and about the shopping (supermarket, and some other shops) most of the times i go on my bike (getting it out of the shed) or walking is about 5 minutes. It is quicker and cheaper then going by car. City center is a 10 minute bike ride, and no parking costs and as a bonus i can take a beer on the terrace if i want to. So you get it i want bikes in the game. BTW love this video

[@ITBlanka]

If anything I'm pleased for CS2 bringing you back 😃

[@bbelsito]

Glad to have you back yumbl

[@phoenixofthegraveyard]

I'm knitting a cardigan while watching your video and I almost dropped my work when I heard "Let's hit 'em with a hearse" LOL. For a moment I pictured the old (awesome) U-drive it missions from SimCity4 and pictured a chaotic deathcare mission....

[@aleksa6242]

Glad I've found your channel. Stumbled upon it when I was searching for road help! Very helpful tips for players. Thanks!

[@nichtakuma]

Ahhhh, ive missed you yumbl, could watch hours and hours of you building stuff! Thanks for the video and really excited for this micro series!

[@wolframstahl1263]

I'm so happy to see this! This is going to be my feelgood series for the next weeks.

[@snapbackpretty]

same!!

[@RiceCracker87]

Woah. I had a dream about cities skylines last night and what do I wake up to? The return of YUMBL!

[@Arkaine_]

I can't wait for you to make your Single Point Partial Cloverleaf Interchange in CS2. It has always been my go to interchange for my main cities.

[@slashplane]

With the dev diaries, I got back into cities skylines and been binge watching all your videos/tutorials. Happy to see a video about CS2!

[@Sponge1310]

I was literally thinking of Yumble and these videos this morning :) Happy to see the channel come back to life again!

[@foodforthegods]

It's the YUMBLer! \o/ 🎉 Good to see/hear you!

[@gorcgamer8349]

At 1:55 when you just ignore the sideways truck and talk abt the shadows instead🤣

[@mylazymood]

Between you and Two Dollars Twenty, I love your guy's cities the most! I feel like you two are the only few who captured the real feel and looks of a small American town. Others I've saw were a little experimental, but that could just be learning about the game in their process in CSII. Thank you for the great video!

[@YUMBL]

Thanks a lot! Honored to be compared to the likes of 2.20 :)

[@Khotetsu]

After watching some of the other big CS KZbinrs' videos I totally agree and I've noticed an interesting thing that sets Yumbl's apart and that might develop further as a difference in how people approach CS2 compared to the original. So far, most people have been playing very similar to the original CS in the way that they build, but I think Yumbl's reactive playstyle here really sets this city apart. Yumbl's city feels like a place where the history of the area is made by the changes and growths of the population. The not quite perfect grids leave the odd space here and there, the zoning becomes denser towards the river as more people move in and demand for denser housing is needed, which then creates a high demand area for businesses, and that then pushes people wanting lower density housing further out, causing the town to spread further out in the other direction. It all feels very organic.

[@YUMBL]

Thank you :D

[@JakeSoulFreeTravels]

I believe $2.20 built the main city that was used in the trailer for quiet awhile.

[@wck]

You should watch City Planner Plays. His city is inspired by a real life city design, and he also does a ton of really interesting tutorializing.

[@liberalideas8224]

I think this might be the most walkable city I have seen amongst the early access KZbin videos and certainly the only one that showed off that commercial viability filter. Great video boss.

[@Notso_Indie]

I think they mentioned that the map you chose, Sweeping Plains is based around somewhere here in New Zealand.

[@ayoubrachidi2668]

i have to say out of all the cs ii videos today i enjoyed yours the most. cant wait for the next video. also great sense of humour might i add

[@YUMBL]

I really appreciate it :)

[@thisspacenotforrent]

6:01 COOL! :) Groundwater pumping stations are an awesome addition! 9:10 - loving businesses actually noting they are open, and the whole leveling up concept :)

[@laurakruithof919]

You are actually the first one that plays it in a way I like, thanks!

[@marcoc7388]

Honestly, this feels like an advanced version of Sim City 4 and I LOVE IT. This more a City Simulator than it is a City builder. 💞

[@LOLWAAHH]

You and CityPlannerPlays could take over the world with those clear and soothing voices

[@JesseCataldo]

Watching your videos feels like playing this game with a good friend. I'm so happy to sit down and watch this. I can't wait to see more of your amazing content and get me hyped for C:SL2

[@TheCloudhopper]

What actually still seems to be missing is "Mixed Zoning" like you see in every city outside the US. Shop on the ground floor, 2 floors of housing (or offices) above. I hope Colossal finds a way to put that in, it would make cities a lot more "real" for people outside of North America.

[@tinear4]

Oddly, I was just visiting Buffalo NY and the quantity of mixed use property downtown really stood out to me. So it does exist in the US, even if it’s rare.

[@TheCloudhopper]

@@tinear4 It is certainly present (NYC has quite a lot of it) and it seems its in older places in the US and tends to be the more densely populated areas. And to build cities that take inspiration from Paris, Amsterdam, Berlin or asian places like Seoul, Tokyo etc... It'd be relly nice to have that. It would just allow for so much denser and less car focused cities.

[@YUMBL]

There is mixed use zoning in game. The developer diary shows it, and I believe I’ll have it in the next vid :)

[@TheCloudhopper]

@@YUMBLThat is FANTASTIC news! I would have played it either way.... but this just makes me really excited about it! 😀(and your next video as well, of course)

[@shem11]

The sun is shining, the coffee is hot and yumbl is playing CS2, couldnt ask for a better Saturday morning!

[@rayneethling7809]

YUMBL You have done yourself proud. i appreciate your approach (to C:S 2 game play) and the fact you're not regurgitating Colossal Order's (marketing) script like the others. I will however wait for v2+ and hopefully the modding community (who MADE C:S 1) will have started creating enhancing / simplifying content like mods and assets.

[@โต้ง-ล3ต]

Same here. I really hope that currently CS2 is what CS1 was when it just came out and there wasn't such a large steam workshop community, because thus far they just simplified it and made it look like a mobile game.

[@AgileRelic]

One thing to note I hope for some colorblind options. The orange for the wind is not an ideal color, and the zoning colors could be an issue. Generally most things in games like this aren't to bad, but I always welcome options to change things like this.

[@YUMBL]

I agree. Maybe even allowing to replace some colors at will. I think things will improve there to some degree, but zoning commercial is hard.

[@empathcityplanner]

"Like a good city planner I'm gonna wait until something goes wrong before addressing it." This totally reminded me of my youth😅

[@StMansur]

Hey YUMBL, just wanted to say thanks for this 'raw' approach to the new game. While there is nothing wrong with preplaying the game before you produce a video, I appreciate your honest surprise at things. Look forward to more.

[@Zorbino88]

Theme: "North American" Latitude: "Southern Hemisphere" I chuckled at that.

[@spicynacho427]

Thanks for starting in the main menu, I was very curious as to if the editor would be a part of the second game, I truly do enjoy building my own maps!

[@erikaverink8418]

Trust me , CO (paradox) will never remove that (same for mods and assets, they encourage it). It means an engaging (creative) community who will support the game. More options for pc players. (I am one of them) I hope for console players they will also get access to mods and assets. And being Dutch i want bicycles ASAP. Also do you share your maps on steam ?

[@moramento22]

[@worldofgreenhell]

from what it looks like they really have put effort to fix the ratios between sizes of landscape, trees, buildings, roads and vehicles

[@computernerdtechman]

At 1:55 you can see a jack-knifed semi-truck in the entrance of the tunnel underpass. Funny.

[@jakez082]

how did I miss this video?! Looking forward to watching!

[@ALKBeauty]

I’m so incredibly happy with the improvements on this game already from version 1. The paths, the roundabouts, the game progression. I learned more from your video than any of the dev diaries. Thank you!!

[@rayneethling7809]

Yip and i maintain its because they (the others) have been CO puppets regurgitating their verbiage, instead of giving us much needed independent comment and experiences.

[@Thekalllllllll]

It blows my mind that they still havent implemented properties with simple curves.. All they have to do is add a fence that runs along the curves, and fill it with a lawn and a tree - to make it look utilized. instead we still have blank space as soon as you dare make a slight curve in the road. Gridcity sim here we come

[@henriqueribeirofavaro9565]

Nice, I was so excited to see some real gameplay in CS2. I loved your video

[@chees-egames]

Please keep the video's coming. Missed your playing and narrating style

[@jeffreykregel3821]

Just a fun fact about the "dog bone" interchange. The exit I use daily has been converted from a "partial cloverleaf" interchange to a "dog bone" interchange over the last 2 years. Yes, this happened in the United States, more specifically exit 48 of I-4 in Florida.

[@YUMBL]

Very cool :)

[@mikkolukas]

27:39 The chirp to the right is talking about working at the new farm. The title is "Maito", which is a Finnish word and literally means milk.

[@corkspa]

OMG, I have never heard anyone outside our family call it a doc-in-a-box. LOL.

[@gregbuhr5464]

Very good for what you delved into. However you didn't touch on detailing. For example trees start as saplings and take a long time to grow. For those that do detailing that will be tough.

[@JKStudios25678283]

Yesterday I started watching your channel, and i was wondering if you would come back, and now you are back, what a coincidence.

[@krisculin9679]

It's great to see you back. It's been a while since I've seen a video posted. I can't wait for the next video to expand the city in CS2 and see where it heads. I've watched nearly all the videos posted since Friday on the early access to CS2 and yours is one of the best. It's interesting that traffic hasn't really been discussed much in any of the CS2 videos. Have you noticed changes in how traffic works or is that something cannot be discussed yet?

[@YUMBL]

Thank you! I did briefly mention that traffic seems easier to manage in this one, though I havent made a very large city yet

[@JohnDulleckA]

When I first heard about CS2 I was like “Ho hum, Another CS game, it was bound to happen eventually.” But this game is F-ing incredible! I never buy games when they first come out, but for this I will make an exception!

[@oneclumsysnep]

This game seems like it's functionally equivalent to SimCity4, but in a modern, 3D incarnation... and I'm SO excited to play it!!!

[@gregdubya1993]

My boy Yumbl!

[@harag9]

Nice to see the built in roundabouts. Is it possible to change the lanes on them and have a single lane roundabout or a 4 lane one, all the 4 sizes you showed all seemed 2 lanes.

[@YUMBL]

Depends how many lanes are running into the roundabout. It adapts based on the roads entering and exiting.

[@harag9]

[@YUMBL]

All good :)

[@rodog2201]

Hey YUMBL, very much enjoying each of the new content releases from ones like you, Biffa, FewC, $2.20 and Imperatur. One thing I note from a couple of their builds is that you can connect your city to outside power grid with the transformer early on, so if power goes out from your wind turbine, you can draw from outside grid and if excess power is made, you can export to gain more money. Not sure if this works 100% or can be implemented in every city in the same way (especially as I have not played ofc) but interesting mechanic. Can't wait to see more of this fabulous sequel to our fave CS1

[@rodog2201]

Nvm you did that in the last minute of the video haha. Still a good idea maybe earlier on so less money spent on more wind turbines and upgrades. Sorry about the comment before full watch haha

[@WeyounSix]
