If you've just picked up Cities Skylines and are struggling to build a thriving city, I’m here to help! In this series, I’ll help you build a thriving city, starting with the modest bones of a small town and slowly growing it into a megalopolis! Along the way, we’ll explore the game’s mechanics and I’ll share tips and tricks I’ve learned from my time with the game. I’ll also share how I design cities based upon my experience as a real-life city planner. This is an ongoing series that we’ll also use to explore new DLCs and Content Creator Packs as they are introduced to the game.
In today’s video, we’ll cover a number of topics including: how to start a city, laying out a basic grid, utilities, outside connections, zoning, progression and milestones, the development tree, city happiness, the city economy, rezoning, and city expansion. We’ll build our humble town to a population of 1,000 - building all of the services needed to support a city of that size.

48:50 the awesome thing about the simulation in this sequel is that, not only accidents but the mini-"event" that is called "Traffic Jam" also matters. I had a non-traffic lighted intersection in the very entrance to my town, and it lead to a true traffic jam as a single car responsible got "stuck" inside the intersection itself, in the middle, due to the lane he tried to turn into, was blocked by another truck, which ofc lead to every other lane also being blocked in said intersection. Just like it happens irl. Adding a traffic light eventually cleared it up, as it prevents "colliding" lanes from blocking each other the same way. Just very cool that the game has a dedicated "traffic jam" event detection, that isnt just some arbitrary "very high traffic density" trigger, but actually triggers when a car gets specifically stuck in an intersection.

@Kafei01 6 ай бұрын

I think the most important thing to learn in CS2 is even if we now have 6 square on each side of the roads does not means we have to zone all of them. Aquiring a sense of scale is very important in this game and you are absolutely right to put it in perspective with real life grid comparaison. In a lot of videos I saw people do giant grid for their tiny rural village, that's ridiculous.

@estelyen 6 ай бұрын

Very interesting to see someone with the same profile icon ;) And I agree, coming from CS1, you really have to adjust your way of thinking on the scale of things. The housing is fine on smaller grids, but many ploppables are absolutely huge compared with their CS1 counterparts. That shouldn't be a reason to build your grid to accommodate them though: Especially with the building addons, we should really be more prepared to switch existing things around a lot more or even demolish stuff to make room, including roads. I like that, because the city will look less artificial afterwards!

The grids being slightly broken ended up being a good thing for me. In CS1 I'd just build grid after grid after grid with little variation.

The amount of people who complain about performance cause they didn't read that their computers can't power this game is so funny

@@OnyxtheFolf hilarious that a game that looks this trash, can't run on most PCs?

I am so hyped for this game! You helped me learn so much in cities 1 I can’t wait to figure out this game. Played last night for a few hours and was able to get to town level 8!!! I can’t wait to expand more

Love your content, been looking forward to this series! Thank you so much for your hard work on hardware variations, gave me the courage to install the game on my aging rig and it runs pretty good after some settings tweaks.

Thanks for showing the size of the grids! This is helpful for the game and IRL. I was going to base my city off SLC but now you have me rethinking myself. Living in Utah I don't think I have considered the size of our gird compared to other cities. It never occurred to me how big it really is, except for the times that I am walking downtown. Being that it is a "new city" when stacked against NYC, Barcelona, and Chicago, it does make sense that it would be larger learning from those places because the settlers would have come from those locations.

Thank you sm for the breakdown of the different landscape tool and the tips and tricks for getting used to using it. As someone who didn't use the tool much in cities 1 it was infinitely helpful 😊

Great walkthrough. Really got me started on my city, restarted my first one after watching yours. Will be watching for more content and checking your other videos.

So grateful for this! I was a huge fan of SimCity but things feel so different here. So daunting but your videos give me so much good advice! Thank you so much!

Super well done. Just wanted a few tips about mechanics and such but got a whole amazing crash course in overall city design and planning.

Never played the first city skylines. Haven't really played any city planning game in a long while. Thank you for this video helping me get my feet wet. Very helpful info. 👍

I learned more about city grids in 5 minutes than my entity of playing CS, now I understand where I went wrong with starter city in CS2. Awesome channel :D

Thank you so much for all the work you put into your videos. I have researched so many books on city planning because your channel over the years, got me hooked on the subject, and helped me be a better builder. I am frustrated though because I want to make mixed income neighborhoods, and seem to hit a roadblock with land value. I don't know if it is the game mechanics, or my own misunderstanding of the new content. I am in love with the new rowhouses and the addition of the welfare office. I really want to make special and beautifully historied neighborhoods like Brooklyn. Thank you so much for your content and knowledge you share on youtube. Also, I love the influence you have had on 2. The lo fi channel, and the way certain mechanics of the new game were definitely cause the devs watched your channel. lol

I love these tutorials! As much as i love planning and building my city i always have a hard time to figure out where to start, these videos give me good (or exact lol) ideas!

With so many people harping on what's currently not quite right with the new game, I'm relieved and pleased to hear your "can do" voice applied to it. I know you also have your criticisms, and I agree with those I've heard from other videos, but it's so good to just hear "OK, we're going to BUILD SOMETHING". Thank you for everything you have done, are doing, and plan to do, Phil.

Thank you this was really helpful. This game has been sitting in my library, unplayed and now I am motivated to draw some grids.

I’m so bummed about console releases delaying until spring 24 that I’m not sure I even want the game anymore… if I end up getting it, I’ll definitely follow this. Love Phil’s channel and vanilla tutorials. Can’t wait for a vanilla cities skylines city tutorial like Verde Beach. ❤

For those complaining about the game performance, or holding out buying due to reviews, all I can say is, the game runs fine if you have the recommended hardware stated to play the game. Those complaining either have PCs too old now, or have failed to turn off certain settings (DOF, MotionBlur) to drastically improve FPS. I am playing on a laptop and its running just fine.

Installed the game, and was so overwhelmed. I never play city builders although I like the idea. You're so clear and calm, installed the game and will give it a go :)
