Watch out using big pedestrian areas because when zoning the game automatically makes you pay for maintenance for how big the area is

@CityZilla Жыл бұрын

Ah, I didn't know that. Thanks for the tip!

@kajetan9906 Жыл бұрын

There is one very annoying thing with pedestrian areas. Building pedestrian "roads" seems to automatically extend the pedestrian area around the "road"

Nice to see the mention of induced demand towards the end of this episode. One of my pet peeves with some of the "Oh noes, traffic!!" Skylines videos is that it feels like that concept is completely forgotten about.

Just a tip if you want :) You should think on adding an elevated roundabout in that highway interchange for improving the traffic and make it a constantly move

@@CityZilla Any general tips for totally non-dlc players? I feel no matter what I do, my income just ends up balancing out to something like 2-7k (8k was an exaggeration). I saw I was probably overspending on some services, so I shut some buildings down, and after a short period of increased income, it just went back down again, despite nobody complaining about lack of services or low land worth

@KevinGWhittaker Жыл бұрын

This isn't cheesy or unrealistic at all. He used the Industries DLC to create an import oil industry as there was no natural resource beneath that area. And then you add factories to produce materials from the imported raw goods (oil) and more factories to produce goods from the materials. The real money maker is utilizing warehouses for the materials and goods, and then fine tuning between balanced, fill, and empty based on production.
