An Oil Boom Leads to a New Boom Town! | MC #15
Рет қаралды 202,464
Күн бұрынResearchers from the University of Superior's College of Geography and Natural Resources have made a stunning discovery in Magnolia County - significant deposits of shale oil. When Governor Johnson Catches wind of this, she quiets discussion and immediately works to find an energy company to extra and process the oil. She also works to establish the "Superior Basic Fund," which will provide a share of the oil revenue to each and every resident of the state.
After securing an energy company to developer the fields and a processing plant, this company - Hancock Energies - secures a short-line railroad to serve the development, and begins putting shovels in the ground. At the same time, developers purchase land near the shale fields to develop a small community.
In this episode, we're going to be building these oil fields! We'll also build cargo rail infrastructure to serve the area, a fuel plant, and a brand new city. We'll also make a few fixes based on YOUR feedback... but not before a HUGE issue occurs...

We need buses to Charity Island and Bailey now. They currently have no public transport at all, which doesn’t make sense with the people who would commute there for work. You could add loops with bus only lanes for the buses to turn around. A bus route could go from Charity Island via the industrial area and Bend to Bailey.
@johngibbons7724 3 ай бұрын
It actually makes a lot of sense. A rural community where basically everyone who lives there works at either the fuel plant, the cargo terminal or the various farms around Bailey. Realistically, there wouldn’t be that many people from bend working at that oil plant. It’s so far away and there wouldn’t be enough demand to justify the cost of a bus system from Bailey to anywhere. An argument could be made for a bus route from bend to charity island but again, realistically the demand likely wouldn’t be there. Also, it doesn’t really make sense to have busses connecting multiple rural Midwest towns. I have never seen such a system in reality

Hey. Close call on the water tower. Drinking water usually works with gravity. Adding a water tower on the lowest part, while all the farms and oil companies are actually higher than the top of the water tower was really odd. Also, you usually don't see may water towers when there are hills nearby. It's cheaper to build a water basin on the next hill than building and maintaining a huge tower. In addition, (at least here in Austria), it's part of the critical infrastructure. So, ideally, not everybody should know the location to prevent somebody poisoning it or blew it up. This is the reason why I think a basin or underground facility up the next hill would make more sense.
@JackDaloots 3 ай бұрын
Can confirm it's like that in California too. Up on the tops of our mountains you'll find large water storage, but the mountain is the "tower" part, they're just ground level up there. Also, we have big cisterns up there to store water. If only we could make some lakes up top.
@johngibbons7724 3 ай бұрын
You’re totally right about for the first part. I’ve never seen a water tower on a hill. But almost every western Canadian and mid west town has their water tower in a central location. Bailey is a small town where everyone knows each other, and it’s miles away from the next closest town. Nobody is gonna be poisoning that water tower

A few side deals to make the oil more "attractive" 1. For each disturbed acre, to include roads, rail roads and facilities, the oil producers needs to purchase 5 acres of forest land and dedicate it to a "state" park in perpetuity. 2. Have the new rail build and connect to the Clearwater southern rail and allow Clearwater southern to use the rail facilities lease free.

Hey! Watford City! Couple things you may want to consider is when the oil boom hit Watford, the town was small with small lots and houses. Then big developments of duplexes, commercials, and apartments everywhere. Take a close look at Williston and Watford City how it grew from 2009 to now. Definite old and new clashing. Also, oil wells pop up in the middle of fields and all over, including hard to reach places using dirt roads mainly. Great series!

Coming from a pretty fire prone area in Australia, I would recommend adding some considerable fire breaks along each Jeffersonian grid definition to help break up, slow and stop any wild fires. It is a pretty consistent thing that gets done over here along most roadways and several dirt road sections built in more rural areas to help the SES here in containing bush fires. Without them we would be looking at some pretty serious body counts due to fires as well and I think this would help your build out greatly with the abundance of trees there.

I work in the oilfield. To be realistic, you would have lots of leases "the little squares" all over the area, each one of those lease sites is where the wells are drilled. Those would all connect to a bigger gas plants and battery sites via pipeline. They aren't mines they are well sites. And each site would be leveled by cut and fill based on the geography of the area. They are all "temporary" and will be reclamated at some point.

I’m behind on the series, but even in a small company town like Bailey, I think you could reasonably add a one or two small offices, there would probably be an insurance agency, payroll or billing processing company, a lawyer, etc. Even the dying former factory town I grew up where almost everyone had worked for the one company that had left and most people only had a high school education had 2 small office buildings for these types of things.
@Mattburt2000 3 ай бұрын
A quick point related to volume of parking spaces. Consider the type of building you are providing additional spaces for. A large portion of industry these days are at least 24 hours, 5 days a week. For 900 work spaces, we could assume 30% per shift (3 shifts) and remaining 90 daily office staff, you will have 360 staff at most. Obviously the more public transport in place the lower the spaces required but directionally correct. I used this calculation more in CS1.

Hey Phil! Happy belated birthday! I know you weren't thrilled about adding the high school to Bailey so early, but I wanted to say that this actually reminds me of where I went to college. It's in the middle of nowhere really, but it had one of the major community colleges. I think it would make sense to add a community College here as sort of one of the driving factors of the community and to get people to come work and live there. To me, students from the university may not want to come all the way out to work at the fuel plant and have to relocate, but the community College would be attractive to students moving out of high school and looking to get away from home, and then after they graduate, the fuel plant would be the perfect way to retain them within the community

When you added the health clinic in Bailey, I noticed that the average health of the citizens isnt great. 65%. With all the dead bodies, it may be a good opportunity for the county to invest in healthcare in general and add a large regional hospital.

As part of the expansion of a local quarry, the county required the company to pay for road improvements, which has ultimately included turning intersections in the middle of nowhere (except for the quarry) into something you'd expect to see in an industrial zone instead of surrounded by corn fields with very, very wide turns to accommodate semis. Perhaps the paved road for the shale extraction should be similar, with dirt roads still indicating the old USPLSS grid? Unrelated and as someone who can't play CS2 for spec reasons; I love the changes to farms that allow for rural areas to look like (ish) the rural areas I grew up around. Field everywhere instead of just a couple like CS1. Also, my only critique of the nice new ethanol plant is the parking lots are paved. All of the ethanol facilites I've done work at just had a ~massive~ gravel lot.

I'm really curious why you created that viaduct over the train lines rather than sending a road under the train bridge and up the hill to the mines/farms from Bailey? Seems like it would be a lot cheaper and easier to build a road with some terraforming rather than that long bridge. It would have also connected Bailey to the outside with the same external connection from the mines and the new external connection that paralleled the trains was therefore unnecessary. (Or you could remove the mines external connection and use the parallel connection which would make a lot of sense also). Good episode and interesting politics shown. Thanks for the update!

I was thinking that you should do a "city review" of East Lansing where you recreate small chunks in Cities 2 and then talk about how you would fix them! The east side of highway 127 where it diffuses into Saginaw and Grand River is the part that I think would make great content, and the amount of satisfaction I would get from seeing you fix this stretch of road that makes my life miserable can not be understated!

this was a great episode!!!! i love how you used the signature building, you should definitely build them more often :3 also, you should use place object more often!! you could add like picnic tables to parks and such. also third thing lol, you could make bailey lake a national park. it could have hiking trails and the island would be a great lookout point. i love your videos, keep makin em :3

The surface painting tool is so simple yet adds so much - particularly when paired with the tree line tool. It helps make cities unique, which is kinda the whole point of the game.

I’m from the u.p. So it’s really cool hearing all this, when you mentioned iron mountain I woke up my wife just to tell her. It’s super cool and neat that it’s being talked about

My family has been involved in industrial development. Rail IS an important first step in any major industrial project like this.

I really like the perspective of being able to fix this imperfect town in the future! It gives me hope that real cities will (continue to) improve their infrastructure in the future!

Fun bit of trivia for engagement: the Central Criminal Court of England and Wales, in London, is called The Old Bailey

Hey Phil, I think you should establish a train route between the main part of the county and Bailey! It would improve public transport for all of those people commuting to work in the new facilities! Love the series!

Love the storytelling Phil. Really makes things engaging, and I love any excuse to watch Citites Skylines.

As a former BNSF employee, your mainline should’ve run through the rail yard on the double track mainline. Sticking as close to 1-2% should be a more realistic goal to try and achieve. One thing to remember is the railroads plan rail lines with the least amount of resistance in mind curving along the edges of hills to climb.

I'm going for the oil!, i used to build a city with a large oil deposit underneath. I started to invest in the infrastructures needed to extract the oil and overtime my city becomes filthy rich haha. And at some point i have to diversify that income and i built semiconductor and financial services industry out of that money and even expand the city to have more workforce for the new industry.. so many good memories and this series reminds me of that

Watching you build cities always makes me happy. Very real and I wish I could build like you. 😁 My game crashed and I don't know if I could recover it after the last updates. 😮💨 As for this new part of the city, it needs transportation to bring in those educated workers. That fire was brutal ......

With an upgrade of the watertower, you can make it a lookout point as well, making it more attractive for people to visit and enjoy the view

Coming from someone who's spent the majority of his life in the oil & gas industry, there's very, very few paved roads. Especially in the Permian Basin. There's a few in the Utica/Marcellus basin. If you want any "real world" examples, I go back to work in a couple of days. I can get you some pictures if you need them.

That’s probably my biggest pet peeve about this build. Being around small towns and rural areas for most my life, only the highways and the roads in the town are paved. All those farms he made right at the start of the series should not have a paved grid. No way an unincorporated community is having a paved country mile grid system

I thought the bridge was perfect as it was. I regularly go over that exact bridge here is eastern Wa state. I-90 Vantage bridge, please take a look. It was so cool to see a bridge that I’ve been using my whole life come to life in one your builds. I never really comment but I love the content Phil!

The Alberta mines were likely shaped due to the Alberta Township System which covers the whole province. The lots are either one section, quarter-section or some combination or further breakdown that make smaller and smaller squares in a 6x6 grid within. Further the roads off main highways follow the edges of the sections.

25:50 the forest fire can be used as a plot device for housing. The state may find it profitable than reforesting the area.

I mentioned in an earlier episode of naming a road on chairity Island for the stevedors. You could also name a road in Bailey for the roughnecks (oil workers), making it a theme for every industry to name a road as sort of a nod to the workers.

The railroad around the 6 minute mark makes me think of the Altoona Horseshoe Curve - a railroad the respects the topography and curves around a mountain range so they didn't have to build a bridge. It was a field trip location in elementary school

On woodland street by the medical center you have street parking enabled. I think you redid the road there as it’s the only part of that road that seems to have street parking.

Really enjoyed the build, one question though. Why didn't you send the cargo rails out through the little valley where you built the train bridge? It would have been less elevation I imagine

Absolutely love that even Phil's own editor is calling out his parking obsession now.
