Cities: Skylines II

[ScottPuss20]

I bought this game a few days ago and I absolutely love it! I played it pretty much all day on Tuesday and for several hours in the days since. Creating my own city after wasting time drawing one up whilst I was bored at uni a few years ago is fantastic. "Devintown" has over 160,000 residents at the moment and there's sure to be plenty more as I continue to fill the map. It's damn good fun.

I arrived in Gdansk yesterday, here's an interesting intersection spotted from the plane. Should be possible to build something similar in CS2.

Hospital area. Used the Eastern European pack for most of the buildings. The road layout was inspired by a hospital in Gothenburg.

City hall and other administrative buildings. This area was also inspired by Gothenburg, but it's a mix between a couple of different districts.

A birds-eye view of the city.

As the name suggests, circular roads are very much a consistent feature in this city.

Here's my big city with 400,000 residents. Does cause a lot of lag on my crappy computer.

This rural map is dedicated to farming. As you can see, things have really popped off here.

Built a new residential project on a hillside close to the hospital. Some 850 apartments in total. I used two different medium residential buildings from the Eastern Europe pack and also added a school at the top of the hill.

Below is the main building of the hospital, as well as some offices for administration.

One of my favourite details from the city centre is this triangular park. In the upper left corner you can see the theatre.

A bit further down the road is this park with a pedestrian path cutting under the road.

A view of the old down and the main square.

Transition from 19th century architecture to 20th century modernism.

A little look at the seaside town as well.

And some countryside vibes.

Finished the last blocks of the old town.

Expanded a few blocks towards the shoreline.

Freed up some valuable land behind the city hall by digging a tunnel for the arterial road. The interchange by the tunnel entrance turned out great!

I finally have a city with half a million people! It turns out that education is the main driver of population growth and since fixing my school shortage, it's become a boom town! I'm soo proud.

Started yet another city with the intention of making it as car free as possible.

The idea is that no cars can enter the town (or the rest of the map) from the outside connection directly. The four parking towers are linked to a tram that runs through the west side of the town, connecting also with the station and the subway network - pretty much just a park and ride. The cargo traffic can enter the area to the left of the screenshot, but that pretty much only serves the rail cargo depot at the moment. The plan there was to then link that rail depot to another one very locally with only a train line. That cargo station could then be connected to the town, it would then act as a buffer prevent outside cargo traffic entering the road network directly.

I'm really trying to plan ahead, and not just slap down some zoning for the sake of quick expansion... but it's already going wrong with the railway tracks! And, my goal of detailing as I'm going is patchy at best... too much dead space a the moment.

A little mulligan, as City Planner Plays would say 😁

This elementary school has a great view of their district's skyline.

I might be stating a well known fact... but if you remove all the lanes in road builder, you can use the resulting network to easily make small rivers...
