hello everybody and welcome back to
another episode of City skylines as if
this game wasn't amazing enough already
I've discovered something new something
that I think has actually been in the
game since day one this is absolutely
amazing do you recognize the part of the
city that we're approaching well I do
because I know exactly where we're going
and this light up ahead yep that might
give it away something in the middle of
the road there this is just absolutely
incredible this view right here and yeah
we're heading into the like the new
residential area that we've been
building recently and just seeing the
city from this perspective is stunning
it looks really amazing here and the way
the cars drive is absolutely crazy
especially when you're going around
those roundabouts they really do like
whiz around corners and go up and down
ramps and it looks like they're going to
fall over half the time so I think right
now we're delivering some goods and
we'll probably be done with that in a
second and now we're heading back to the
industrial area and let's just sit here
and enjoy the ride and check out the
view because the game looks beautiful
and I was browsing reddit the other day
and I saw an image is posting we almost
ran someone over there yep an image have
been posted can I click on it it's like
another little minigame try and click on
the X yes
let's finish my sentence is image you've
been posted and it was of someone
driving around first-person view and
that's when I realized hey this features
been in the game for a while you have to
click on a truck and then you click on
the little camera icon up here except
it's on the info pane for you know when
you click on something like that and
then you can yeah hop in and have a
first-person ride around the city which
is amazing so now that we're going back
onto a ramp you might see some of the
crazy driving going on and by the way
we're down to about 20 frames per second
when we stick in this view for a while
and record it does tend to go down a
little bit and this is the path with
that yeah the park on the side are also
we're going into the new commercial
district right here this is not the way
it would expected it to have traveled
back but what a nice view it is and I'm
pretty sure we're going back into the
industrial area so yeah welcome back to
another episode of City skylines
and as always if you want to see another
episode tomorrow 2,000 likes we're still
doing the whole daily episodes thing and
I want to say thank you ever so much for
your feedback on the last episode that
one was a special
and I haven't actually seen your
feedback at that so I wanted to let you
know but I'm sure your support is great
it always is and I really like to
actually read all of my comments well
that was a bit of a crazy maneuver right
there I like to read my comments before
I do a video otherwise I feel a little
bit disconnected you know actually I
don't think this guy's going to the
industrial area he would have turned off
on the right hand side there so it's
probably going somewhere else let's find
out delivering goods to this place now
we have to click on that to exit all
this one actually I'm not sure how do we
exit like that okay
actually I think that's part of the
first person mod then if I had to press
that button so it looks like actually
the trucks must go around and deliver to
multiple places so since is always there
about to learn something look the load
is 48 percent I don't remember what the
load was when I found this truck but
it'll deliver it and then it will move
on and then we'll be able to see if it's
going to deliver some more goods or go
back to the industrial area I kind of
always assumed they're just go back and
forth between two places which doesn't
make any sense and yeah now he's on his
way back so that was absolutely
fantastic to see the city from that
perspective got to do that from time to
time and over here I started planning
out the new area it does look a little
bit ugly and there's not much
residential demand at the moment you can
see a few higher buildings around here I
mentioned when we built this road that I
thought it would look probably better if
there were buildings on either side so
I've kind of done that and I've been
zoning out this area here and then a
fort hang on wait a minute this building
right here is going to generate a ton of
noise whatever done actually this is one
of the ones that doesn't so you can see
here it's not a problem which is pretty
cool got lucky right there actually now
I say it these buildings are all whites
commercial ones would be light red
that's the metro so it's quite dark and
these being bigger commercial buildings
are a bigger source of noise this
building's not white it's a pale sort of
red color whereas this one over here
must generate a ton of noise and look at
this area it's just riddled with noise
all the people going out shopping and
having a good time anyway let's exit out
of that view and yeah I started a little
bit of work on this but I kind of want
to get away from the whole focusing on
the expansion of the residential and
industrial because over here it's the
same old deal really look you can see
off in the distance they're complaining
about workers it's just this area here
which is a little bit strange maybe I
need to look into
something there I mean there is a path
so in theory they shall find their way
over there and that area seems to fine
and this area is struggling a little bit
so maybe we should just focus on the
expansion at these areas then since
they're doing all right
it's definitely demand for this stuff so
let's go ahead and zone out some more of
this I'll do quite a large expansion
right there and yeah we're going to
leave that alone for now because the
site else we're going to be doing in
this episode we are going to try and
build a monument it is this one no it's
not
it's the Eden Project this will increase
the land value across the entire city
and in order to do that we just need
this one building right here the
Cathedral or plenitude and we require 30
different service buildings in order to
get that so I've been thinking hey which
ones don't we have we don't have one of
these in the city so we're just going to
plot this down over here in the
wastelands we don't have one of these
we're going to do the exact same thing
we can demolish this after we get it and
I remember correctly we had 21 so there
we go we got two more we got seven to go
so what else haven't we built I don't
really want to build these power sources
until the last moment and are these new
oh no that's just want to DPS once I
never scroll that far over because I
didn't want to use nuclear power just
wanted to use these ones
so there's several sources right there
but let's see what else we haven't built
a water drain pipe we could put one down
just completely isolated its other i1
yes that's the right one this is where
you just dump the pollution without
treating it okay so we should now have
one more we do very nice and now if we
go on to health I'm pretty sure that
I've built a hospital somewhere in the
city and that would have been disabled
however I don't think we have a cemetery
let's click on that icon empty building
to another facility and it doesn't have
electricity that's fine so we had these
in the city before but then we deleted
them so I'm not sure if they count it
looks like it does that's good news
because their site else that we have I
don't think I have a built one of these
big fire stations in fact this is one of
the things I'd like to fix in the city
we kind of neglected fire coverage a lot
and I can see over in this area they
need some coverage one we just put down
this right here maybe on that road a
little bit of space right there and then
that's going to cover all of that area
I'll look at that that was really good
placement and it's
bread's all the way out to that bit as
well that's fantastic okay so the
excellent coverage right there and
that's one more building I do believe
very cool actually no it's not okay I
know for sure I haven't built this big
crime on did I built the DP one by
mistake I might have done that
no I built the normal one okay I haven't
built one for crime before the police
headquarters so let's sort of zoom out
you can see the entire city is pretty
good the crime rate is about seven
percent and I don't really see a place
where there isn't a police station for
quite some distance feels like the
coverage is pretty good probably this
area the bottom half of it not so great
so for this new area let's just put it
next to this one the people in this area
are going to love this they're going to
want to move right in let's put it on
that corner perhaps yeah we'll put it
right there okay so that should be one
more so we're down to no it's not ok I
do have one of those somewhere but it's
alright by the way our income I know we
just built a couple new buildings but
again it's level itself down to this
lower region it always does that
whenever you generate more money so
we've done education we've pretty much
built everything there is to build here
yet we built all of those and so that
means it's just power that's left so
we're going to have to go back to that
anyway and and build these things so
let's have a look at what there is we
have the coal power plant that's the
proper one then we have the DP one so
let's just plot this down isolated
somewhere and we won't connect it up to
anything okay there we go we've got a
temporary road we are going to get rid
of this stuff and where is it power okay
so one of those that's does it like run
automatically because it's powering
itself it probably does so that's going
to cause some pollution and then we've
got an oil one let's put down the oil
one that's probably going to require oil
to be delivered from it from our other
industries isn't it interesting and then
the nuclear power plant and it's a big
old thing right there let's put that
down
so that's free more and that means that
we've got two left over so I don't know
what those other two are they might be
these buildings might count as well
however it says 30 so if they did then
you'd think all the ones we've built so
far I've covered it so there's obviously
site I've missed here and the missing
building was the landfill you can see it
over here I've turned all of these off
by the way with the exception of these
there
need to be on those so we'll turn them
off as well going to demolish all of
this in a moment so all of those are off
there as well I built a hospital I
thought that might be it although it's
pretty sure that I built one but yep
eventually I figured out so the
cathedral plenitude all this actually
has an area of effect you know I think
this area right here might be the best
place to put it you know we were talking
about having a road going between the
two places
well this being the first area that we
built in the city and that reminds me I
get a comment about this from time to
time so let me know if you want to see
this do you want to see like a tour we
kind of recap what we've actually done
in the city because this was the very
first part that we started with over
here and yeah I could kind of explain
the history a little bit what order we
expanded in but yes the idea was to
raise up the roads going across here and
then to plop this down in the middle and
have a road between the two areas I
think that is exactly what we're going
to do it's going to look very cool in
this area as well all right this used to
be a very busy area in the city and over
time it has really really changed it's
interesting how you can just keep
building and the traffic will move
somewhere else because we still have
tons and tons of buildings here although
we did have an industrial area right
here so maybe that generated the traffic
that we were seeing but we're going to
do is delete this road because it's a
shortcut and actually you can see
there's very little traffic and probably
over here we could do away with this
road as well but for now that one looks
alright and then we're going to delete
these two roads as well they are hardly
ever used and there's not enough traffic
here to justify their existence so away
they go and what I'd like to do is
actually build this on camera together
because I do get quite a lot of comments
from you guys asking me to do a few more
things on camera you know I do do a lot
of off-camera stuff and then tell you
what I've done and that's just because
I'm a think I need to stop talking and
think and then I put my mind into it but
I realize this is going to be quite
simple so let's do a little check first
of all in fact what we should do first
is put the road going across the to so
we want to get it nice and in the middle
that building right there is going to go
unfortunately and so will those two on
that side that looks oh right as I do it
I realize I made a mistake there it's
right in the middle but we want the
building to be in the middle so I guess
maybe what we'll do is figure out the
width of this thing and then change that
a little so it's this building down here
we've already got it selected Wow
that is quite
a big building we should have put this
road a little bit further up I think but
anyway we'll stick with what we've done
I don't like to destroy buildings and
then you know go move a road somewhere
else and destroy them again so let's
kind of measure out and across like this
and I think we'll find we're going to go
for one-and-a-half so that'll be a half
let's connect like that let's go all the
way up there and what did I say 1 and
1/2 so 1/2 sits that road right there we
go up by one go down like that Troy the
bits of road that we've now created and
then we see if we can place this thing
yes yes we can we can put it down and we
can actually do that immediately I think
so that's free on either side that's
nice and even we'll put down some parks
around it as well and let's just take a
step back we need to get power to it
that's a thing that is a lovely looking
building that is a very nice-looking
building that's almost like kind of
fantasy RPG style right there very cool
stuff I like it I like it a lot and now
the land value should increase across
the entire city site we forgot to check
that hasn't actually done a lot if I got
the right thing here oh no it's the
thing after this that does that ok so
this thing is just another tourist
attracting building ok that's fine and
then we got the other thing to build
after it that's the one that we're going
for our monument that's now available
there is the Eden Project six thousand a
week look at that area of effect once
again we've got to put this in a nice
area I think right there I think we're
going to end up doing the same thing and
just putting it down there that's a
really good area of effect and that'll
increase the land value so anyway it's
just the roads that overpass is to do
now and as I think about it we want to
send them across here and if we go
directly above these roads then the
supports will mean we can't place and
this actually I think the smart thing to
do is to bring that across like so and
leave a little bit more space so it's
going to hug it and then those parks
will have to go underneath the road or
something like that
against the molecule of that and by the
way I was mentioning at the beginning of
the video that I didn't see the last
episode because I was recording like
ahead of time and I don't like to do
that too often that's just because I've
got things going on otherwise I would be
recording on the day and I kind of
forgot to mention that and I'm the kind
of person that has to mention these
things yeah it kind of bugs me if I
don't and that's just the way I am okay
so we build that road correctly and
possibly we could have made that look a
lot nicer because we could have built
some roads off of the grid and do you
know what I'm going to do that so I can
show you how it's done
so this is stuff that you want to do if
you want to make your roads look nice
and neat you want to work on the same
grid because the roads are always going
to be at 90 degrees to another one use
the snap tool like that so let's just
make sure that's going there I'm
connecting with that one and we're going
to delete these roads by the way what we
want to do is select the bit in the
middle go down like this and then go up
so we go up to the next type and it's
telling me it's too steep let's go all
the way out by one on that slide all the
way up by one on that one excellent and
then that's where our road starts so now
in the opposite part of the road we'll
go up here select the same bit and it's
going to connect to the roundabout
that's not what we want so we want to
kind of figure out well there you go
it's actually got it on the same line
okay cool so we can bring it somewhere
around there that will do same thing on
the other side can we get it exactly the
same I think that is just why I'd say
that it's actually now we can go how did
you get up there there's a bus just
randomly up on the ramp that we're
building and what we can do is upgrade
this to the next type and now those are
perfectly parallel and somehow I've
managed to screw it up because this one
is slightly closer and we're going to go
with that so I'll change this one on the
side you can see here by the grid lines
that the gap isn't quite the same all
right looks good doesn't it maybe it
looks a little bit wonky on that side
actually I think that's a little bit of
an illusion it's pretty cool I made the
road a little bit shorter so the start
and ends are actually in line with the
building I move this back a little bit
as well you can see that shorter so it's
kind of more centralized and yes I've
got to sort out the trees around it but
I put in a couple of these little flower
beds right there and that can
set up the power grid which is very cool
they're very useful for that so a pro
little tip for you right there and this
looks pretty damn cool I think and I
think it'll look even better when we
have another one over here but it's
going to be a much tighter squeeze and
also the road design is going to be a
little bit better so let's pull out our
monument this is our objective for this
episode to get the Eden Project in place
I'm thinking there might even be room to
put it up here if we change this round
about a little bit and I've been looking
at this one and once again the traffic
in this area just so much less than it
used to be we can afford to remove this
road right here and probably that one as
well and then we can make this whole
thing a little bit bigger and then put
the Eden Project inside of it now at the
moment we have a connection like this
which is alright for that thing but I've
got a feeling the Eden Project might
actually generate a lot of traffic so
we'd also need a much more sensible
entrance so I'm not sure what I'm going
to do just yet still making up my mind
but we can definitely make some
modifications to the roundabout here if
we need to all right so I made my
modifications they don't look too pretty
I know but I was looking at this and I
was thinking if we put this over in the
roundabout then some whose area of
effect goes into the ocean so if we move
it back here it's kind of ideal so that
right there when it snapped Green do
that again please that's where it's
going to go and it just so happens to go
right across the edge which is very very
cool so if we zoom in and have a look
you can see it's not too pretty and I
removed that shortcut road right here I
think actually I might put that one back
because these roads ended up being a
little bit different than I thought the
original plan was to sort of raise them
up on either side but eventually it
became quite clear that the project the
Eden Project wasn't going to fit there
so we've pushed this back a little bit
you can see these roads are a little bit
shorter one of those is now pointing in
the wrong direction how did that happen
I don't know that is actually a little
bit strange so let's change the
direction of that one there we go
awesome and now we can put the building
into place so got these roads on either
side what we're going to do with that is
bring them out to the edge here and
probably put some buildings on either
side but let's resume the game because
this is going to have a massive
difference across the city and I've been
looking forward to seeing this so let's
place it down the Eden Project let's
have a look at our land value as well oh
that definitely went higher over here
I'm pretty sure I've not seen it that
green before that's interesting Oh
Wow Wow okay we saw the effect of that
happened right there and again crazy
crazy it happened everywhere look at the
land value of this place unbelievable
that was well and truly worth building
and I think now what we can do is raise
our taxes up a little bit so let's open
that out because the land value is so
much better everywhere we're going to
raise everything up to 13 percent and
see if people complain if you're 13
you're going up to 14 let's try this
okay 14 these sliders could be a little
bit easier to use they are a little bit
finicky
there we go 13 and again 13 so let's see
what happens now let's speed up the game
and see if there's any complaints but
that is fantastic hopefully people are
moving to the city a little bit more now
as well considering the land value is so
good but anyway I'll keep an eye on
things looks like people are upgrading a
lot that makes a lot of sense actually
over in this area the land value is
really helping out here and over here as
well yep look buildings are upgrading
the land value has really really helped
out these monument buildings are just
perfect for the end game I guess just
make your city so much better with just
a couple of buildings but I like it
because we had to do a whole bunch of
things to get there we built this thing
and of course loads of other things as
well and let's have a close look at this
building that looks pretty spectacular I
like that it's like housing for growing
lots of plants isn't it very cool stuff
what a nice looking building oh that
turned out great didn't it well all
those raised taxes got rejected so we're
back down to what we have before we are
generating a little bit more revenue
here which is good to see and this looks
a lot better now put in all of the trees
around it surrounded this one with parks
as you can see and it got me thinking
actually with the land value increase do
we need so many parks everywhere because
that's how we going to kept people happy
before and maybe we can free up some
space by removing some of them but again
it also looks pretty like look at the
view over here it's nice small part from
the fire but it's nice to see that
there's a couple of parks in between all
the buildings and over there there's a
gap why is there a gap there there just
is ok fair enough
I think let's say one white house oh no
it's not it's the garage of this one
that is a very fancy looking house
anyway distractions over here we've
some plazas on either side a couple of
small commercial buildings and then we
put some high-density ones right here
and I actually think this kind of tracks
from the view a little bit they look
kind of ugly like an eyesore in front of
a very nice building so we're probably
going to get rid of those but I'm going
to leave it for now and I was just
thinking you know what we also need to
do add in a bus route over here we need
to add in bus routes over in this area
and metros and as our city is expanded
they have become quite a tedious task
and look all these areas this place is
absolutely crazy and beautiful it looks
amazing but that's going to be it for
this episode as I mentioned earlier had
to record in advance got a lot going on
on Friday which is when you should be
seeing this video I think hopefully it
all goes the plan anyway again two
thousand likes for another episode
tomorrow thank you for all your support
on the series has been terrific to play
this game and now we've got another
Monument done which is awesome two more
to go but that's it for me this episode
so as always thank you very much for
watching and I'll catch you next time
