Welcome to our BRAND NEW VANILLA series! As well as serving as an update to the year's template, this series will also serve as the ultimate guide to playing and building in my style as we hopefully head towards the end of the life cycle of Cities 1...This series will continue as episodes. Today we learn how to start a city by building out roads, services and zoning, finishing with a little detailing and giving ourselves a solid start and which one can expand in multiple directions. Enjoy!

Also, I can say that I have definitely had times when starting a new city where the residential did not spawn in time. The solution to this is to simply zone one 4x4 area immediately next to the power line. Once that grows, then you can zone out the rest and be fine

Even if we "know how to play", it's still a new map that you are building on, so it's gonna come out amazing! What made you decide to use this map?

Totally know what you mean.... I've been playing since launch on both PC and Xbox, not sure how many hours between both, but it's taken a solid chunk of my life lol... and yet I still watch these various youtubers and always learn something new or get some inspiration, especially with starting a new city, I struggle with not making the same damned roundabout or generic interchange entrance every single time lol. Absolutely love this game, the creativity it allows is just awesome.

@punkkitty100 Жыл бұрын

Thank you for this series! I just now discovered this series and I'm so happy! Finally, someone who actually is taking the time to explain in more detail how so many things actually work. No offense to any of the other creators but I think with all of their experience, they sometimes don't think that newer and/or inexperienced players really could benefit with more details on how and why and what to do to make things work. I'm just now beginning to get ready to get back into the game, haven't played for probably a year or so since my husband passed away but your content, along with others, has kept me inspired and motivated to get back to it. As always, thank you so much for sharing your time and experience and wonderful city creations with us!! Happy Holidays to you as well!

This is by far the best Cities Skylines tutorial on KZfaq! Step by step, practical tips, and you actually show us where things are found rather than saying :just change your budget" and not showing where that's found. If only I had watched you before any other CS builder, I wouldn't have been so afraid to bulldoze for so long and scared to use Move It and unsure about where tools were. Even though I've been playing for a few years now, I still learn something new from you in every single episode, whether it's Noobs or in Ilos! You're an amazing teacher, Egg, and I'm so very glad you have found your creative outlet as well!! Love love love LOVE LOVE LOVE the start of this city! It's perfect! 😍😍😍😍😍❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

But threw in some of my own styling.. wanted to copy you tho as I’ve never played before until I get a hang of it.

Here's a tip I have. Save your game as soon as you finish your first service interchange. That way if things aren't going the way you want it to go, you can go back and start over without having to start building it all over again. I've had to start over about five times so far. I am not good at this game, but I refuse to give up on it. I think I know my problem, though. I think I overzone. I zone everything when the bars get full, and I'm not sure I should do that.

My problem with the coal power plant is the fuel empties and i don’t know how to get more. I usually prefer using roads with medians or wide sidewalks for main roads and other busier areas because they don’t have parking on them and i also prefer using the inland water treatment plant over using the drain pipe because i don’t want pollution spreading in the water.
