Several mistakes were made but overall not a bad tutorial for total beginners ! The most glaring mistakes are : -you dont start developping a city on both side of your collector road you dont need to and it makes services coverage near impossible early on ! -the most important building for growth are educative ones you always want to plop them asap and have the best coverage possible to level up your building - water pipes need to be spaced by 13 tiles no more no less it s a waste of $$$, -If you have industry and commercial demand in excess but no residential demand you can increase their respective taxes ratio just enough for the demand to not stack -Services have a radius area of effect early on you want them as centered as possible -you ve build too much intersections on your collector this will lead to trafic problems later on . -overall you want to avoid crossroads, you can build an entire city with only tbone intersections this will eliminate a lot of trafic issues .

I think it's this attitude that makes your gameplay looks so much more interesting and admirable. I've certainly learned this and next time I play the game I'll also think more about the kids and other "people" in the game.

I'd love a version of this for European cities/cities that don't follow grids. When I first got into C:S I built using grids (despite being from Germany and a city that's "naturally" grown over centuries and is basically a lot of now interconnected villages). It was super easy, but also quickly took the enjoyment out of the game. I try to build more naturally feeling cities now, but it's always a very bumpy process. I know that is to be expected specifically because these cities aren't built with maximum efficiency in mind, but surely there's something I could do better. One of the things I struggled with was the vanilla street styles in C:S clearly being US-inspired, and one street type is limited to one speed limit etc.

I like it in general, but I do think he is setting himself up for problems down the line when it comes to traffic. Two big things I would change. 1. The start for all cities off the highway is always awkward, but what I like to do is "bring the highway into town" using the small one way road tool. You can upgrade those to actual highways later, and create a proper service interchange to your first main road. I then use that first main road basically the way this guy does mostly with commercial districts. 2. I like the grid as a starting point, but that is a lot of intersections from local roads to the collector road which will eventually be the arterial road. It isn't an issue now, but it will be when the population gets to 12k-20k.
@vande2330 2 жыл бұрын
@@jimland4359 that’s a fair assessment. However, traffic in CS is inherently flawed. After a certain point you can count on traffic being borked. Even with traffic mods it’s still a pain because the computer naturally follows the shortest route regardless of heavy traffic. It’s a compounding problem with no real solution. Hopefully they fix it in CS 2
@TwilightStar91 2 жыл бұрын
@@jimland4359 I've had multiple cities with roads like this (they're very Australian, we here in Perth only have one major separated freeway through our cities and then as a ring road, so we have big collectors with intersections). I use TMPE and no despawning and my traffic is always 80+. Turning off the traffic lights is a big one, since if you don't have enough traffic to justify them stopping, you're just needlessly slowing them down.

Great many tips for a beginner like myself - the road grid issue you had in the beginning though, I think it was because when you started expanding Main Street it wasn't at a perfect 180º angle from the highway but slightly tilted; about the pollution in industrial zones I've realized it's better to place the landfills on the outskirts because they don't spread pollution, so the core area of the district can have all the factories and plants - I'm sure you know that, just something that the planning here made me think of but again, this is just the beginning of your series.

I just discovered your guide series and I absolutely love it so far. The music is cool, your voice is calm and soothing, you give great advice, it's perfection. My main problem is traffic so I hope you give some advice about that in later videos, but so far, it's awesome, thanks a lot !

Really looking forward to this! I just started playing and while I've watched all of Bluffside, Verde Beach, 5B1C and some builds from Biffa, Egg, et al., this is really going to help. I think my biggest issue is getting too excited when things unlock and not being patient and letting the city grow naturally. The tip about zoned parcels note developing even when there's demand was really helpful! Thanks!

This is my first playing the game, i just installed it last week but I've been watching your videos for quite some time now. I quickly came back to these tutorials after installing and I must say after 3 failed attempts and confusion, I've finally got a hang of it. Well, most of it. The way you explain everything in detail is just perfect. I want to install the DLCs but i guess I'll keep watching till i get there.

Great video! I have spent 100's of hours playing Rollercoaster Tycoon growing up, so I bought this game and all the DLC like 2 years ago and was excited to build something massive, but every time I tried, I would get intimidated after 30 minutes and end up putting the game away for a month or two until wanting to try again...and it became a cycle of putting the game down after 30 minutes over and over, but now I got that spark again!

I'd like to suggest an extra episode explaining road hierarchy (maybe even transit hierarchy). Admittedly there are enough such videos about that here, and I think City Planner has touched on it with one of his own, but it'd be nice to have something standalone to add to the playlist and is in line with a theme of this series - what each feature is about and how to best utilize it to improve your city
@JohnVanderbeck 2 жыл бұрын
@@overredrover9430 He did a video before but I agree. I'd love to see more diving into HOW that theory is properly implemented in the game including what roads to use for which or how to identify which roads you should be using for which, as well as identifying which roads should be which type. The previous video he did on it was nice but all very much heavy on theory and little on practice. Same with the zoning and land use video he did. Showed a bit more of how to implement individual zoning types into the game but not much on the best ways to integrate those various types in composition.
