The extensions to the radio antennas really help boost happiness. I plop the antenna down, upgrade it with both options, and then usually the area of effect is also extended. That and post boxes give you a surprising boost in demand. I used to totally ignore those things in C:S1. If you get everything green in C:S2 you get a +5.

@stevieinselby 8 ай бұрын

With the special buildings like the Epicurean Apartments, remember that they have an area of effect in which they improve residents' quality of life - so placing them next to open water or the university or some other areas where nobody lives is a bit of a wasted opportunity compared with placing them in amongst medium and high density residential buildings.

Looks great Biffa! 1. I am noticing a tiny bit of stuttering myself at 40K population after large areas are zoned (mostly low density residential and some industry in order to satisfy the demand). 2. My suggested protips: just because the college/university have eligible (or you can build it), doesn't mean you need to build/extend them to allow slots for everyone. That is a good way to kill your budget. 3. Don't even build the first college until you have at least 600-800 eligible, and 600+ for university. There are so few jobs that require higher education in these smaller cities it kills your budget if you build too early. 4. Mass transit is also a sure way to kill your budget even if you crank up the fees. 5. at 40k pop I've never touched my taxes and still make over $10k using the above methods 6. placing service buildings and schools on smaller/alley roads has a greater reduction in area of effect. While it may look nice, it also reduces their effect on the area and reduced numbers attending. I moved my college to a 4 lane road in the same area and numbers almost immediately jumped from 400 attendance (2000+ eligible) to 1500.

Some of the mixed housing requires road access on 2 sides (a corner building), but the game considers roundabouts as a corner, so it tries to build the corner mixed housing buildings there, even though the 2nd side doesn't actually have road access.

I'd be happier if moving cars simply didn't have any snow on them, since in many places you can get fined if you don't clear the snow off your car before taking it onto a public road. I have no doubt the green grassy spots (that drive me nuts atm) will get patched soon enough, since it's just a matter of assigning the correct textures to everything. Why they couldn't be bothered to fix it for release IDK...

@@Narangarath Because when you're developing you try to prioritize what gives the best rate of return, so fixing the grass doesn't take that long, but it's only a very minor problem, the time could probably be spent better by the developer that would've been assigned to that bug on fixing something else like the performance.

In CS2, high land value is good and bad...

Yeah, you really need to keep an eye on your expenses to start with and get those specialized industries running as soon as they're available (you WILL want to buy tiles further out just for the res) and make sure to have the industrial zoned buildings to process the raw materials. It seems like supplying the city on imports is a really quick way to go bankrupt, which makes a lot of sense realism wise. When I got the industry stuff sorted I suddenly started making enough money to bring up the service budgets, which appears to be making everyone happy and also more money somehow. Up until that point I wasn't exactly convinced I could get the place in the black at all since I was absolutely bleeding money until then and just barely making it to the next milestone money.

I also hope to see the further dividing, expansion and urbanisation of your city with even more housing, parks and plazas, businesses and offices - I also think it'd been a good idea to already start allocating specific districts or areas too, maybe one specially for the university with parks, sport grounds and some commercial and some leisure buildings, then maybe a cultured and historical European styled old town area mixed with some modern stuff, maybe a civil and governmental zone, a main business/ downtown area with businesses and offices, a main industrial area, a transport hub area, a main tourism, leisure and nightlife area, a main grand park area, a main high rise area, a main elite rich housing area, a main sporting area, a main waterfront area and then I love the new rural and small town, farming, fishing, foresty and mining areas alongside maybe a national park area?

We call those "Static Caravan Estates" or "Halting Sites" in North America "Trailer Parks" or "Mobile Homes". They are associated with "Trailer trash" or "White trash", slang used to refer to low income residents of these communities and has similar connotations to "Povvo", "Chav", or "Roadman" from the UK. Usually these dwellings lose value rather than gain them as a traditional home would due to their weak structure and are immune to the jurisdiction of local building authorities (basically have less building codes).

The "not enough customers" thing is a bug confirmed by paradox. Basically commercial businesses level up cause they've had good business, but then the level up makes them demand more customers immediately. The businesses aren't in danger of downgrading or anything, but they will perpetually have that alert symbol until the next level up.

I bought 24 hours after the launch and want everyone to know that all the concerns that I had disappeared when I played the game. No, I can’t run it at Max Settings, but I’m honestly perfectly fine with it. It’s not like it’s a FPS. Like anybody I do hope it improves overtime but it’s good for what it is today.

Hey Biffa, with the resources when you are drawing the area out it tells you how many tons etc, as you draw it out. The bigger the area the more it produces. Don't think it makes a difference if you have 1 or 2 oil fields, although probably more cost effective to have 1. 😊

1. Trees and bushes between agricultural plots (such as a hedge) will help make the village more beautiful than a set of gray identical textures from gray identical wheat fields. 2. Automatic grids are pure evil, there is nothing more boring than a city laid out like this. 3. Special buildings in the game take up a monstrously large amount of space, unfortunately, and strongly contrast with the hundreds of identical country houses around.

16:58 very disappointed they didnt make the visual of the fireman really putting the fire off, you cant see even the water, what you see is just the fire truck just standing next to it and thats it, even in Simcity 4 we could see the firemans with the hose.

A couple of suggestions for this city - can you fit some paths around the Welfare Office? I was thinking of whether there might be space between it and the college for one such path? Also, why not fit some parks around the Welfare Office and College and Beautify those spots - they look really bland at the moment.

With regards to the textures, I have noticed when they are set to high that the mip bias in the advanced settings for textures is set to zero. I adjust mine manually to 1 or 2 and I've not had any issues with textures since. The maximum they can go to is 3 and as the low texture settings is set to 3 I doubt it will cause a performance issue; for context I am using a 3080.

Yesss and entire bridges closed for months, especially the vital ones with lot's of traffic - which is then sent to congest other highways to a full stop and the people basically either sleep at work or barely get there.

Not sure if you already knew this, but last time playing, I found that you could build a road straight through train tracks and it will make a crossing therefore you don't have to bridge over if you don't want to.

Hey Biffa a tip for you or two. Tip one get the power plant called thermal plant and connect it up it will start selling your excess power to the outside world. Tip 2. Your industry if you play wacka mole with them you can get ones that will use for example. Grain and produce beverages. Stone you can get ones that will convert stone to concrete or minerals. Etc. It's a good way to have pockets of industry near your specialised industry.

I am now 13 hours into the game and I love it. I can't understand the hate it is getting. The only thing I can't get to is a solid income. Most of the time I am losing money and I can't find a way to change it. Do you have a go idea, maybe in one of your next videos? By the way I love how excited you are, just like me. ❤

Great episode! You were at 5M, then 3.5M, then back to 5.8M! That was fun! One question/request - could you, please, connect that, erm, "original" roundabout/cul-de-sac in Tealand Downs to the curvy road? It would be a bigtime connector between the old and new areas, and really ease services.

Started my first City Skylines II city today! Not too bad, so far. If you're experienced with Skylines you will be okay. Of course, I'm only up to Large Village, but we'll see. But, my city's budget IS in the green ... .Had to visit the wife person in hospital, making supper for the family, hope to jump back on later tonight (now 18:30 Germany time.), time to put in some bus service.

As I remember in CS1 it didn't really matter where you place the commercial zones. In CS2 you can see the need, but also where commercial zones will do best. Using those areas should sovle this issue.
