BIG TOWN! - Let's Play Cities Skylines - ALL DLC + Realism Mods

hello everyone Darren here and welcome back the city skylines now in the last episode I had expanded the road network of the town to accommodate a brand new suburb possibly the last one that we're gonna need for quite a long while I also readjusted some of the mod settings to lower the amount of seniors we were getting by basically increasing the retirement age so that the seniors themselves weren't really around as long we then spent the rest of the episode building a roundabout So today we're going to be pushing 7 500 population which is going to give me a bunch of new things to play around with by unlocking the all-important new Milestone giving me high density zoning allowing me to start actually City Planning rather than just building these chaotic unorganized little suburbs good plan for it I guess but let's begin alright ladies and gentlemen welcome back to the sprawling suburbs of Swords now we've got a little bit of an issue going on at the moment which is to say that there is a massive fire engulfing the Washington Business Park I think it's just originated from some of the trees here between the highway and the zoning of the district itself and we can see that there are absolutely the refer I gotta say the First Responders are out in droves doing a great job even the little fire truck is there um but yeah I mean this could be a potentially big problem a lot of our Industries are burning down but they seem to be on top of it we'll keep an eye on them but there's also a fire going on over here in the suburbs on the very extremes of our city again First Responders right on top of it feeling damn good about that in fact where are they coming from just specifically if we were to look at firehouses hey they've come pretty far from out of the center here so I guess they don't have to go it's not too long right they go up here and probably out and then they're able to get in pretty quickly but yeah again the trees are caught fire so this is going to be kind of spreading around this kind of thing would really be beneficial at some point in the future to get the helicopter Depot to put fires out from the air to get there very quickly it's especially good with forest fires because what happens is these fire trucks are going to be putting out the fires on the houses but the forest is just going to continue with burning and then spreading into the houses again and again these guys are like yeah this is great I want to move in and get a front row seat to see what little Timmy's going to be going through in here three children anyways right speaking of fires and disasters let's have a look at this roundabout and try to sort out the issues from the previous episode although largely speaking it has been largely resolved a lot of feedback though people saying create a slip way maybe to bypass the roundabout altogether just you know going straight to where you want to go an underground route to Tunnel straight into the industrial area to get people to work um people have I guess suggestions about my Lane stuff like that but I'm gonna go with my own solution what could go wrong with that but not really I'm actually going to use kind of a Melting Pot of different ideas uh that I saw on my Discord and in the comments as well so one of the first things I want to do is upgrade this or let's talk about the problem really quickly so of course we've got sort of one filter Road here that goes out onto the roundabout and a lot of people are being collected right from all over all these different houses all these suburbs here are basically all deciding that this is probably the best way to get out in order to get to our Industrial Area even people that live like here I've been following they're going this way and then going up to this roundabout coming down and a lot of people are just coming out that way rather than just going straight out this way that's a bit of an issue I want to correct that so got a few different ideas one of which is to increase the amount of Lanes on this road and I played around with the idea of this I was actually thinking that we could have two lanes coming down and one going in I don't really know why but you have asymmetrical roads in the game like such as this one a three-lane road with two lanes going one and one going to the other obviously there is use cases that you need that but if it's for people going to work the same amount of people are kind of using this road at the end of the day as they are in the beginning of the day so it's not really going to make any difference you kind of want an even amount of lanes I think so we're gonna go with a four-lane road nothing too fancy about it I don't know why I can never find so basically we want a two-way road we want to go up to four lane I obviously just scroll by it I don't know why but there's like so many different Road types that's a two-lane road two lane two lane two lane two lane am I losing my mind okay let's just search I probably just scrolled by it many times there we go four lane road I get nervous on camera okay I can't read anyway so let's upgrade this one yeah we have our zoning toggled on so the houses should stay in put as stay in place all right so there we go four lane road easy peasy everything else staying the same it did disconnect my bridge actually so let's just rebuild that all right looking smooth uh so we'll have to just do a little lane connection [Music] to start with this one so these two lanes can basically yep you go that way you go that way and you go that way that way and that's already linked to there okay cool that's fine so this is a one-way Road field filtering out so what I want to do here I noticed is that I actually want to tell them not to cross over like that so don't do that if you're on the inner Lane here you stay on that inner Lane like you can obviously come out but you might as well stay there's no need to cross over because you can't possibly get out that way by the way I know that these roundabout rules aren't necessarily true to life but this is the only way we can do it with the way the nodes are placed how to actually allow them to Cross Lanes so I am aware that you wouldn't necessarily be Crossing Lanes like right here but people do Cross Lanes in a roundabout I mean that's how I mean that is how they work some people are like you'd never cross the lane around about it's like okay how would you ever get out from the inside then like you have to cross the lane at some point when you're at like approaching the exit anyway at least my understanding is that and I don't have a great understanding I did do my first driving lesson and we actually we went on roundabouts and stuff and I feel like I get it anyways like I said God help everyone else uh so I was noticing as well when people are getting off the roundabout coming up this way and getting into work they I don't know why I kind of made this turn here they don't really need to be doing that at all you shouldn't be turning right if you're coming in off this road this is a one-way Road leading in and a lot of people get stuck here because trucks are piling up there and they get backed up behind them so what we need to do I think is actually just say just stay straight here you guys can do either so we have people just crossing out of the way if they want to and then the last thing I guess would be you're free to turn left and go straight which might be a bit chaotic and you're free to turn left and go straight is there anything else you guys need to do not really and you guys obviously are just going to go straight out or go that way don't need to do this for everybody you can go to that lane as well if you wanted to and yeah you're kind of in the same boat I don't know about this I haven't thought about this too much but I'm just saying you can go whatever way you want really all right so let's see how this goes that's one phase one phase two is here so this is a way out for a lot of people and some people were suggesting maybe building a roundabout here I'm gonna actually get rid of the lights and then we're going to use tmpe to say that you can't turn left right so out of out of here you are not turning left here you can go forward or right that's totally fine you guys can obviously come in but this means that there's actually now only one way out of here so you come in this way and you go back onto this roundabout to get out or unless you're joining the highway so if you want to go out and get out of the city that's totally fine if you wanted to get out and just go maybe down that way you would have to take this roundabout and go but I think this will actually solve a lot I think we'll see how it all plays out after a while so what'll be most telling will be the traffic in the morning [Music] um yeah about seven seven a.m will kind of give us a good idea of what when people are traveling and then 6 p.m we'll see people going home we'll see it filling up as well so let's have a look at the traffic thing at the moment 84 flow and I think we're looking fine so last thing I just want to check with it was the lane connected just again just make sure that's okay [Music] yeah I think so I don't know I think it's fine oh yeah the very very last thing then is I want to stop cars coming this way and joining onto this so two more things to do you guys are not turning left either neither are you so if you're coming out of these suburbs you are not turning left you gotta go back up that way and come down around that's fine by me but you're piling up you're causing people to be delayed getting off the roundabout by turning left here so you're just turning right if you want or you can go the other way get around it that way the last thing then is this road is going to be one way leading the opposite direction so we'll set it to be one way with trees why not I just realized that's set to bridge mode for some reason I'm never toggle that on so I don't know why it does that by default all right so we have a lovely little Road of trees one way getting out of here the fire truck is going to be breaking the rules for a little bit but let's that's that's my plan right so what we've just done in effect is I've changed this to be one way so you are not if you're living over here you're not using this road if you're living down here you're not coming out to block traffic you're just going to go up and around and take the long way to get onto that roundabout if you want to come out this way or you might change your mind maybe and go this way and come out that way that's fine if you are on the roundabout you still can't go in this way but you're going to be up here and turning in this way and now you've got more freedom to switch lanes and keep still do the turn that you want to do I wasn't previously allowing that so if you're on this far Lane here the outer Lane outer being away from the building you actually just have to go straight I'd prevented people from turning left so that meant a lot of cars were backed up here while maybe a truck was unloading or loading from this place so this should just it's a few little things I think that will speed things up or make things a little nicer so we'll see I expect it to still get busy but hopefully not jam-packed like we were seeing before anyways so while that's happening it's gonna be nighttime soon so we're gonna Zone some extra areas two other ideas I've got now is you want to make this place a bit more dense for Commerce because it's got all the bus lanes and things there already and now we can actually expand out to the new territory that we just grabbed I'm just going to pause time while we Zone it um and then one last thing actually I keep saying one last thing but something I'd like to do here is just pick one of these roads changes that the zoning is only on one side is that correct it seems like it's right that does that sometimes I don't know why oh I'm after making this one way good I don't know how I did that I thought I just picked this road with the Color Picker thing anyway regular Road please let's do it again and now the zoning is flipped oh my God there we go all right better and it just allows for the um zoning inside the Estates to have more space basically so that's good all right we can Zone all of this now let some people move in okay and just make sure they have their stuff so they don't have water yet turn off the grid so the goal is to get to 7 500 we're currently at 6874 I did just remove a few people but we're gonna be zoning a lot out this way again so again let's just Zone this it's good to Zona during the night because I find people do move in and clog up the traffic a bit [Music] you see them driving in all the time all right and let's just continue this all right let's turn on our vitals how are we doing sewage treatments kind of low electricity is getting a little low I think for the night time it might be quite low also I don't know if I mentioned did I do it yet no so people that wanted me to turn off excuse me school's out we're going to be redoing the districts here in a second but we'll turn off schools out and see if it makes any difference to the library because people were saying like oh that's why people aren't using the library you have schools out no I don't think that's the case but we'll see so School's Out is off people can now go and get educated freely they're totally fine to do that by the way when we get to the next Milestone we also unlock a university so an issue with the industry out here is a lot of people we don't have any anyone that can take the highest end jobs right the Highly Educated jobs there's 46 positions for highly educated and we don't have anyone anyone that can take those jobs right now excuse me just had to blow my nose got um hay fever basically all right so anyway yeah so a university would solve that issue and where we're we need 650 in order to get to the final stage I'll probably just put down more slaughterhouses to be honest and that would probably work out we just need more and more we need a little bit better education before we can really fill these up but we can take the uneducated jobs and the regular ones too all right let's have a look at our traffic flows night time so everything's looking pretty good 82 percent we haven't caused any complete chaos here remember people can leave this area but they can't turn left they're like Derek Zoolander they can only go right or forward on our little one-way Solutions I think will help nicely okay good we're up to 6926 again and gaining let's have a look at the new the newbies that have moved in yeah let's just keep Paving them up rezoning them this is on this all this is fine now the idea was that this would be Commerce as well at some point and then the park entrance will be somewhere here and then we wrap a wall around this whole place some people are saying like you know connect this area to here and it's like yeah that would make sense but I just want to do a big Park here I've intentionally made it difficult for myself I don't know why but I just I don't know something tells me that it's the way should be but once we start actually City Planning I'll feel like I'll get a bit more organized and we'll plan out suburbs and stuff a bit better than in future but this is fun just to do kind of chaotic sprawling natural looking city building it's not even like I'm the one building the city it's like this is just how the city grew and I'm then trying to come in and solve the little issues it will naturally have by the way it's the morning time so let's have a look so during I failed to mention during the mornings buses start rolling out so we'll see them take these strange routes these buses are all heading into their first stop effectively um so that was happening before it's because we have an increased budget during the day for uh buses but a decrease one at night so it's 50 of the budget at night time so it just rolls out more buses in the mornings to go collect the people that want to go to work which I think is working fairly well and then we'll see more and more people getting picked up to go to work as well on the yellow line especially the yellow line gets started earlier than the blue line they kind of go into the city before they start like here so loads of people getting on all there already 24 collected to see it that guy got left behind and then yeah we'll start to see more and more people waiting at the different stops as it's now making its trip so which bus are we on we're on this one there we are cool that's obviously going to bring people to the Commerce District people work there as well let's not forget all right looks like we're getting a little busier yeah so the priority is going to be a lot lower on the people coming out of the industrial area so this is going to get busy no doubt I'm just hoping we don't see it back up too much [Music] but free-flowing it's doing what a roundabout should do we do have people using this area here again I think another kind of overpass would free up just a little bit would smoothing out that traffic I don't know can you build pathway underpasses that would also make sense I've never I don't really see many overpasses where I am but I see a lot of yeah you can it does let you I see a lot of little tunnels I don't like the tunnels though scary always worry that when I'm walking in one of those tunnels just a little pedestrian tunnel that someone will step out in the front and then look behind me and someone will step out in the back and be like oh here I go yeah we're seeing cars kind of pulling out or stopping not stopping here as much which is nice and these are the guys all filtering out yeah this is totally good uh we're getting backed up here now for the first time just a bit just make sure I didn't forget any so if you're on the inner Lane there so if you wanted to just take a right turn just get the hell out you go on that Green Lane but people who want to go to work are pretty much all going to be in the central Lane let's follow this guy he's a cleaner at garments Limited yep it's in the business park as we expected whoa careful it'll be interesting the city skylines too as soon as there is car accidents I wouldn't be able to do any of the shenanigans with my Lanes and that bus would have just completely mauled that car he's like a very slow Road can we speed that up yeah it's supposed to be 60. foreign I think we're good oh wow we're making a lot of money we're filling up the storage of the wow we're actually making that money without actually selling baked goods so it must just be from the regular Farms some of the flour perhaps the regular crops and animal products every now and then of course we don't necessarily see it in the screen reflected immediately you know there's a big delay when we're exporting things and I'm guessing that we'll see that all of these are in use yeah nine out of nine six out of seven nine out of nine again six out of six so they're going to be kind of full while they're exporting stuff off the map a lot of them all right nice anyways so we've got a decent demand for yeah let's put in just the last little bit of industry is going to go here not really going to add any more into this business park in the future another business park will be opened up here and we'll have something near the docks oil industry and stuff like that so that's at least the plan but let's get a bit more aggressive with zoning we need more Commerce yet again so we'll just remove these guys as the commercial center grows and we'll leave a gap between the houses there we go how are you guys for jobs 13 jobs available for well-educated and or for highly educated and regularly educated so tier two and tier four two out of 42 visitors yeah so I guess what's happened is since we put down more Parks the land value is increased around people's houses uh thus I guess just generally they have more money right this that's ideally the situation when the land value increases their happiness increases in the amount of money that they earn increases and then they have more money to spend in commercial zones which is why for such a long time we had no demand for Commerce because I wasn't putting down any parts it wasn't I was just expanding expanding expanding you get more people slightly more demand for commercial zones but not much and then until people started really making money now they're like yeah I got money to spend let's uh get some Shops going how we doing this is also pretty much at capacity the high school so that's something we need to do I was thinking again in this area once we get a bit more density going uh we shouldn't be too long we can then start to put a high school down somewhere in here in fact we could maybe even do it now let's see what the demand is for high schools [Music] it's we're right at the edge of everyone is who can go to school is in that high school so we need a new one basically so I would say what we're going to do is remove this Plaza nobody is using it anyway and then we're going to remove the pathway that's here and this one shift this building over and then this pathway now conveniently lines up with the natural path that's built into that restaurant now we've got room for high school and we've got the money for one too high capacity elementary school high school so this is the one we did build already it's really big but this one's a lot smaller if you stick it right in there brand new high school right across from the public library near the gym facilities multi-story car park commercial zones perfect love it alright so you guys can have your own pathway in here it's gonna do that and then we'll move the node doesn't look the best there I guess but I don't know what more I can do about that okay oh I know what I can do you can pave it oh no I can't because it doesn't like to overlap textures for some reason so annoying the way it does that it'll just always have this gap between it so I'll just leave it the way it was just leave it as is until I find that decal people were saying with the airport you can get a decal that does it but I think because the mods I'm using I don't have the same decal for this specific texture I don't know still looking nice so we have this new brand new high school 19 students are in it but you know it's for the future people can use the bus routes and stuff to get to school the bus stops around here and we're getting I'm hearing pings left right and center from all the houses people moving in and houses upgrading love to hear it and no doubt some of the um commercial buildings are upgrading too or will do all right we're up to 7036 let's get this up to like I said [Music] 7 500 so we'll just go new commercial District right in there I don't think people live right across from it we'll have them live down in the suburbs [Music] all right let's try that for a bit see how we get on so something I was thinking as well we could start making people uh getting people to move in over here and maybe just build even a makeshift industrial area for them to work out over there when I say makeshift I mean temporary not makeshift temporary because I feel like they'll will eventually decommission that and have them work at like the oil rigs and other things like that this is going to need its water as will that other place and I think what would be good before people move in just real quick yeah we could maybe just put a little Park in this area here oh what kind of Park is that just a small Park yeah just go with that why not and then maybe large playground across from it and we'll just turn it just ever so slightly this looks somewhat a bit more natural to the area all right so you guys are going to want to move in there no doubt maybe even an elementary school could be nearby the park hmm I think elementary school will be enough all right so yeah we'll just continue the zoning of this area let them start moving in and obviously the demand isn't that high for that right now but we'll um again put down more Commerce and stuff so this would be kind of their closest commercial District so they have to come out that way get onto this road and then go down and get there at least the idea this is uh not really worth having anything there I don't know what I'll do with that we could maybe put a car park in or something actually he's Anarchy to move it that would look a bit more natural I think as well yeah good all right how we doing sewage treatment maybe we could increase that I also um move these to look a little bit more uniform so I'm pretty happy with how they look now as well same with the water inside of here so you guys don't have power you're a little too separated are you yeah that can be the problem with the way the zoning works sometimes when they get filled in first those power lines are now on the way um you know what then all right let's move these power lines when the people move in this will just get power itself but I'll just temporarily do this that clears the zoning area there you go again it's only a small thing but I think even a car park there would be good oh it actually kind of pushes up on that house a bit that's such a shame obviously just be a little cheeky does that help no well forget it then I'd rather the house be a full plot so something that's a three by two I'll have to have a look in the find it settings later to see if we can get anything for that if I forget anything there no we're okay they have water as well almost foreign they have power as well now good all right the commercial area is growing our two new factories have just been built so this one 30 workers and this one six we're still filling up we're 50 full for Unique Factory products traffic seems good I haven't seen anything be terribly backed up so I feel like it's well I say that we have told everyone to leave out this way so why is everyone in that lane why is nobody getting into this Lane that might be why I know obviously a lot of people are going to go back that way but it just seems strange that nobody was using no I don't think that would be why actually hmm just nobody's just taking this Lane out let's just see literally nobody wow okay hmm no no some people are hang on let me just pay attention okay I guess not they are all going this way and that's just basically the commute home so that's because I've cut this road obviously right you can't turn left there so everyone's saying okay well I'll go out this way then go home but maybe not a good idea I don't know I guess I just thought more people would be using the other lane a bit like hmm you could solve this actually really easily couldn't you if we do real roundabout rules which is to say that you would come out this way and you can still go forward so um let's let them do that and see if that helps so you've been prevented from going on I'll let you go on that should be the thing that does it I think something I'm just going to change really quickly with this one is just to cut that one away there we go yeah so now we'll see tomorrow the next commute home will really re reset things but now we'll see people using both lanes a lot more I think that should be better yeah all right very last thing done with the lane connector I think you should be allowed to go there as well then if you wanted to that would make more sense wouldn't it I think so yeah it's definitely smoother it will be smoother all right we'll check on that tomorrow I'm still learning that's my excuse I'll be doing population seven thousand come on let's get more people I just don't want to Zone too much stuff though because they actually provide a lot of jobs and stuff but we're just not getting much Demand yet for people so let's just keep speeding up time people are moving in oh you've demand for water so it is the dead of night now let's do our branches here [Music] without here at least is they should get onto that four-lane road and head in this way to get into work and then we can take this turn in this way then so that should be nice if they're going to this District ideally we'll have jobs for them on the other side of the suburbs at some point too yeah people must have lots of money to spend because the demand for commercial it's behaving the opposite it did before it's not going away could we expand even further should we clear another block for for more shops I mean you could have shops all along here as well might make more sense Maybe don't want to get too crazy and let time play just a little bit just to have you know let things settle I guess at the very least maybe we could say here [Music] then we can put the park gates in somewhere in between I don't know if that would be weird this provides provides noise pollution I just feel like shops at the back of these houses very weird but we can always readjust a little later down the line school's out policy is gone let's see how we're doing for population metrics now so unemployment's at three percent there are 600 jobs available pretty much maybe five yeah 600 pretty much population is a seven thousand seniors at 10 which is a good number I don't want to see it go above 20. but I'm happy to see it go up to 20. if it needs to let's check our new High School 162 students in there at the moment that's good what we can do as well is actually reduce down the budget for the high schools because they don't need to be that much it's overall education but I think the same is true of the elementary schools yeah eligible yeah the capacity is still totally fine so we're good for a little while on that I think all right so what time is it what time of day is it 7 44 it's the morning commute buses are out the yellow buses are on their on their way doing their thing we could check how they're performing so the yellow line has about 50 passengers and 50 passengers for both ways so 100 in total for the yellow line there are 10 vehicles so that's an average of five per vehicle it seems pretty low I guess it's the way for them to fill up a bit I loved my first Buster and then you guys are like ah put them going counterclockwise and everything which does make sense but now nobody's using them as much or it feels that way we had like 200 on the bus line the first time but I suppose when you add more that's expected right people are getting a more convenient route I do live like nothing going around seven people on this one [Music] and the vehicle can't modifier is down to just six Vehicles which is fine 16 11 36 people waiting at this stop a lot of people always at this one this is always a very busy area so what are you guys doing going home it's been a wild night out or something going to a small playground going to the bouncy castle Park I'm happy enough how's the traffic in the morning not bad see they've got two ways in so the traffic in the morning is just not that bad right really but the traffic on the way out is pretty severe because they've only got one way out they're all using that roundabout in the evening while they do have this way out if they're not living in the city but it does feel like we could maybe let them turn actually they could use this way out what am I saying anyway now that we've let them go on the other lane it'd be interesting to see how they get out [Music] foreign yeah you do have the freedom for that other lane and it's just a lot of trucks I would have thought the trucks would just be oh they're going to the commercial area oh these trucks just came into yeah yeah okay that's fair enough it's because we got new commercial zones all right what are we up to seven two hundred all right they're looking okay these guys are coming in nicely yep the demand still is there for just more and more Commerce again people don't know what to do with the money they have I guess I almost feel like that's an entirely temporary row I'm gonna create a lot of traffic out this way I didn't expect for this to be so busy this would it was really supposed to be just this block here the other alternative is building more here but I've got plans for making it more dense once we get the higher density zoning I'll just switch one of these to high density and then it's going to be like triple the capacity so once we get there then you can kind of reshape the city a bit and just literally choose the plot of one area to build high density another one like here another one here whatever um rather than painting the whole thing yeah it's interesting to see that they don't try and use both lanes as much they're still just using this inner Lane mostly I understand why they can't possibly know to use the other one I guess the symbols now don't really fully make sense if you're allowed just go run that but it's okay yeah we'll see how busy it gets at the end of the work day so what time is it now that can't be right yeah it's 12 in the day midday we have our trucks coming in pulling into here and then you're somehow just able to drive straight through him okay I had noticed those trucks stopping people before police station so where are you headed you're going that way oh I'm so sorry to have to do this but why not why not go this way you can do that right am I not letting people switch lanes if they ever wanted to what's the big deal I suppose here I could just explicitly say it but that might cause confusion on that part of the roundabout don't you all right so I'm after doing something fairly radical I have just removed all Lane connections that I designed so now it's just a default roundabout and we'll see how it goes so we're getting close to the commute right it's almost it's 3 30 P.M maybe it's the end of school for some and uh I'm noticing no one's really using the inner Lane that's why I use the lane connector but it seems like people are just using the outer Lane so I don't know but we'll leave it at that for a little while let's see how that day goes for traffic okay so how are we doing commercial wise we're fine what about down here do they need any more commercial areas you could probably put one let's say there maybe maybe I don't know I just feel like they look weird it's another extra shop that can appear down here now money is really really good though we're making pretty much we're just making loads of money and population's growing everything's good I'm pretty happy with how those things are going and we're just waiting on more and more people to move in this way there is demand for industry or offices so I guess I could also try and put down another slaughterhouse down here now so let's do it [Music] so farming industry scroll over and we'll get to milking parlor another milky powder a slaughterhouse again a really big one right there ah just one sec I've noticed that it's embedding itself into the terrain a bit much for my liking is there any way I can not have it do that or is it just always going to do that let's have a look at the contour lines oh yeah okay we'll have to just lower that down a bit with Landscaping [Music] soften the terrain give me my brush [Music] thank you all right this should just help a little bit with that the way it looked just right Mouse click to the secondary button is just a stronger effect okay that's good to know yeah it seems like it's flattened out a bit [Music] not that we need this at all but it might just fill the Gap nicely we'll put in a pathway it doesn't go anywhere it's just purely aesthetic all right cool so they're right across from uh let's see the warehouse for flower which is actually super full right now the other ones here so it's going to be taking in crops the different buildings are there yeah so you have to expand these Farms out soon enough but that should provide more jobs and give more demand for residential for a little while disconnected power grids do we I don't think so not that I'm seeing and our electricity availability is just getting low so maybe we'll bump that back up now keep it out of hundo all right back to 100 we'll just keep advancing time try to speed up a bit how's the traffic flow 83 percent here in the dead of night trucks are finding their way out that's totally fine the buses are going back into their Depot for the evening we're 45 full it is on fill wasn't it at 50 earlier that might be why we're making so much money actually because maybe they are exporting it it does say fill though not balanced let's say empty just empty that out for a bit so the trucks are going to go out during the night the buses could just get past there we go foreign how's the school doing as well yeah 153 students out of 192. that's pretty good hopefully people don't have to go too far for it oh nice the residential demands increased significantly okay no doubt because of our agricultural expansion uh so yeah so let's just pile a few more people in this way fill out these as I've been calling them branches to the roads uh actually I can just do all this as well a bit more liberal with it all right cool so that's gonna be a lot more people moving in hopefully out this way and they've got a good way to get back onto the four-lane road if they do work at The Farms they can get there fairly easily just speed up time again should see the residential demand falling hopefully when all these people move in [Music] nice the reason I'm speeding up time so much is I just want to get to 7 500. so we can put down a few of our first high density buildings I need to redo that red bus route still it can actually go probably and collect people from up here as well in the future more people are using this uh this road now the outer Park Road get to the new commercial area looking good enough there's no Pathways between any of these places yet so it is all car driven forty thousand we're making thanks to our exporting so we'll just tell this to fill again we'll do that there are less cars in the street so I can enjoy my walk hashtag Old Town yeah it still counts as Old Town in there all right we're really close seven four three one we're gaining 60 per week so that'll be the last amount we need the residential is completely Fallen away these guys are going to need their own commercial areas which I'm planning again just to have up towards like well actually I don't really know it was just here and here to grow I don't really plan on adding any extra comments over here they do have the Commerce District down here so if they get on their yeah get in their car on a bus or whatever they can get down to Franklin Heights pretty easily I would say it's relatively well spaced out it's just all the Industries on one side of the town right now which is probably one of the bigger problems all right it looks like we're about to hit it any second we're at seven four ninety seven four ninety one and oh oh my God we're four-way let's go how's this doing is it filled up there we go we are now a big town so another two by two kilometer area unlocked campus area universities have been unlocked residential wall to wall which is super interesting um it's a district policy that allows for basically an in-between density but in between like low and high density uh buildings it's kind of like little apartments that are stacked next to each other office wall to wall Financial buildings Office Buildings I mean excellent we don't have enough Highly Educated people for those jobs yet industry 4.0 see I haven't actually seen any of that stuff I have to read about it I'm really just here for the the densities uh blimp Pathways incineration plans holy crap instead of collecting garbage why not burn it well there's I can think of a few reasons One Way large toll booth let's tax that roundabout and stop people using underground metros universities excellent oh a sauna bougie oh in a prison I didn't know there was prisons in the game I never even thought about that cool says a lot about me that I got excited by that uh the school teaches teenagers in the ways of Technology an alternative to the university right there's loads of stuff in there transport wise actually oh the bus Intercity Hub that's interesting because you connect to bus depot effectively right bus terminal to another type of bus terminal that then goes to the city to link the two together it's pretty cool nice we've only got seven five hundred I feel like a lot of that stuff's really early for us but still pretty good all right so now that we have the density I'm gonna get a little crazy we're gonna remove this area not the entire area just get rid of those they don't need to be here you don't need to be here we can leave those shops there we'll go with higher density in certain locations so you got to be very specific with this let's say over in this area let's clear this out we'll put in a high density commercial building effectively there so let that reappear in just a moment how's the school doing 457 students in there that's pretty good so we should see our first high density building appearing in a moment now while that's happening we're gonna re-do the districts here a bit so we'll just create a new District here just even momentarily bring this in chop this out of the way we'll get a bit more use the fine tool now to get a bit more specific with it so that's Franklin Square all right so let's just grab this one and bring it into maybe about here and bring this down so it makes sense in a sec it's time playing let's just let time play it's totally fine sure whatever I can read just some of these a bit later but and I guess we'll just make sure that they have a district for now even just same with these until I repaint it probably in between episodes I'll paint out new districts but the important thing is now we have Franklin Square that's interesting Franklin Heights in Franklin Square let's call it um what can we call it let's call it Victoria Square all right so Victoria Square which is largely commercial but has a little spillover to residential just ever so slightly and we'll just make sure that's nice and even pretty even anyway and just to be even more controlling actually just in case I'm gonna go just a little further just that row of houses is all I want to be affecting as best as possible and that's all commercial okay so there we go our first high density building is going in only 15 15 workers actually it doesn't feel high density it's basically smaller than the other ones some of the other ones anyway but when it levels up it might get bigger all right the thing I want to do then here is because we unlocked that District policy let's go open up Victoria Square open up the policies they're really uh thing for a second City Planning no it's down here isn't it yes so we have the residential specializations wall to wall buildings so we're gonna put that in there and click all right so that's wall to wall so this means that these houses are going to disappear probably and turn into like apartment blocks and we'll expand this out as it gets a bit more dense um and then basically yeah just be just make sure we have a demand for oh that's why I'm sorry didn't see that let's just get rid of this bit as well and then we'll just put in new higher density there again all right so this building will go away we'll get a higher density Zone coming in and you don't want to go too crazy because obviously that means a lot of people have to go there to shop so 60 workers 160 visitors that's about as high as I want to bring it one of the background effects this amount or no just leveled up actually it's still low density all right and these houses then to meet that demand we'll get some apartments here young adults hopefully will start moving in and then Victoria Square you know it's got its high school it's got its Library numbers haven't changed yet by the way even though we removed the policies traffic is okay is it we're at 81.82 it's okay I'm happy enough with this solution I never spent a while on it but I'm happy enough with it this place is never going to get any bigger so it works just about if the four lane roads get a lot busier though it could end up having some issues now I've just taken away those rules altogether so that's just default lane rules now which I find strange it just means to me like no one's using the inner Lane so what's the point of it being a two-lane roundabout at all just seems odd to me but that's the way the game defaults to doing roundabouts nice look at this up to 40 workers now it's already become level two becoming level three and then this one as well then outlet shop yakisoba 60 workers potentially so it's great for jobs which means that we should get people moving in oh look at our fancy looking modern apartment buildings the Hamilton residence we could give them a tree if we could be so Dairy I don't know if you'd really have a tree like that there but maybe there all right we're getting busy so how many do these house 28 households holy that's way more than I thought I thought it'd be like 10. 28th that's kind of big 15. three all right well I'm glad I didn't go too far in because that could be a disaster for people moving in we're gonna have probably a lot of traffic moving up this road as they look to move into their new houses yeah I'm pretty happy with that though ultimately that's what we want to do 21 000 is about we are making bank and that's that's excellent because you know what we need that money for building the city so that's good how's our vitals doing sewage treatments could still again be improved can we increase the yeah hey what happened did I bring Healthcare all the way down to zero I must have the availability availability is totally fine though so I guess we'll leave it education wise maybe we can bump that up now 90 percent services and water water is okay yep and how are we doing out this way then [Music] Crown Farms making more animal products more jobs 560 out of 650 now as well so we only need you know we're just less than 100 to go [Music] nice all right we'll wrap it up in a sec but we'll probably just wait for the morning commute again one last time and then see how um traffic is kind of being handled at the moment so you can be in either Lane I wonder what the rules are then do people just stack up in this lane or not I won't make any changes until we see the buses are going back returning to Depot returning to Depot good driving to a plaza with trees anyway people of course go into walking to work or walking to wherever they're going supervisor at cyberdyne I did name one of them cyberdyne that's cool shout out if you get the reference zoning types available oh yeah offices we don't have enough we need to build a university so my plan generally speaking but let me know what you'd like to see is I want to build some sort of city out here you know with a kind of a key side along the coast and then somewhere we're going to have a university and the idea will be it's not going to be walking only but it heavily focuses on people moving around walking and lots of public transport bike Lanes bus lanes that sort of thing that's priority regular Lanes will not have priority or regular traffic because look at how dense these buildings are gonna get 100 people are trying to work in here there's just not enough people 32 educated 66 jobs available it's looking to have 32 educated people working there so I'm glad I didn't over get overzealous you know just this one little dense pocket here and it's crazy the amount of people that want to work there but it'll and it'll take a little time for us to feel the effect but once you know people start graduating again the education levels will go up and I'm sure people will take those jobs the graduated are highlighted in blue efficiency is green just for where they're close to things graduation so we need them to graduate from high schools to get that educated thing so yeah not many people have been graduating over here wow to be honest not many people have been graduating anywhere I guess it does take a while though but still that's cool that they have like art on the buildings and stuff oh you can actually change them oh you just changed the art do you that's interesting kind of I like the I like that one not that one this one yeah why not so we have this nice steady sort of urbanization as we move into that commercial center here a simple part of that that's actually I don't know how realistic it is but it's exactly like where I live right now there is a intermingling of like little houses like this and then apartment blocks I live in an apartment but from the outside they actually all kind of look the same or very similar the apartments only rise up three floors and the houses only go up to two so you can't really easily spot them um but it's a nice it's a really nice development that I live in because he's only Built a few years ago and I just rent so it's nothing crazy for me but the houses I admire there because it's like I don't know it looks like a really nice community and then the only thing that's here for this entire Community the only thing is one elementary school that's it there's no shops nothing else and apparently the people that live here were like promised there'd be more stuff by now and there isn't so um they're kind of like complaining about that at the moment because they have to leave they basically have to leave to go onto a four-lane road to go pretty far to get down to like the closest shops and stuff my city actually has stuff way closer surprisingly um so they're having a problem with sewage you know you just increase it to 100 but it looks like we might need to bring in another Eco Water Outlet so we can just copy that and pop another one down and then I'll just shift it over to get into a bit more fine placement something like that it's good enough and then we'll just connect the pipe [Music] how's pollution actually it's getting a little stronger as more people move in all right there's the morning commute so these are the vehicles that come in to deliver all the goods because you can tell well not all of them but some of them anyway because it's the morning and we've got a lot of people leaving so where are you going resides at the driving home maybe they work a night shift or something I'm just surprised to see people traveling home at 11AM but I guess so and they're all using the right lane now that's funny see what I'd like to do the way it should work right I think is if you're in this Lane you should be connecting around to go out here whereas if you're in this Lane you can go there or there that's what I've been taught I've been taught it's like a clock face if we go around you know clockwise but obviously anti-clockwise so clockwise if you're having the reverse Direction it's like if the if it's straight across from you you can be in the outer Lane but if you're kind of crossing over more of the roundabout then from where you're starting you know if you're crossing over that halfway point you're taking a left now and if you're taking a left you should be in the left lane if you're taking a right so this is a right or this is a right then you're on the right lane that's what I've been taught at least in my last my first lesson so to me it's like I can't guide them the whole way around right so it's like okay you go there and then I'd have to tell this Lane uh this one to connect on because you can't actually connect the intersections you only have the the Junctions to control and it's like yeah you can technically go to there and then but it all depends where you're starting from so you can't lay it out that way that's the thing that's kind of confusing about it so I couldn't really do that I just want to maybe hopefully that can kind of make sense for people now because from these guys perspective it's like yeah you can only go to there but from these guys perspective you can go to there so then the rules of the lane connection changes so that's why I was trying to let them cross which I think was kind of working anyway um I'm sorry this this Lane connection is going to upset them a little bit even though it's basically what they're doing anyway long-winded way of um explaining that but yeah I don't want to be building an underpass or anything like that it's a bit too extreme I think but maybe maybe I just didn't need to not let them turn left here maybe that would help so yeah that way they can get back out [Music] I'm not sure though anyone that's leaving out this way is either going forward or going left they are not going right almost they just shouldn't be because they could go right out this way if they wanted to so there's really no reason for them to do that and if they could go out right here it's to get into the town if they're getting onto the motorway they could have just gone out this way so interesting anyway it's been pretty fun this is a good episode I think I'm happy to see the higher density buildings moving in we're balancing out the residential now these are all filling in 23 out of 28 households you have some residential demand and then of course we're going to be filling out the rest of the suburbs here as well I'm trying to give them a few more things next episode and redoing the districts a bit and maybe actually building the park and then finally starting work on this we've got half a million in the bank which is uh which is great we've built up a lot of money pretty quickly so filling out the industry building out the city completing the suburbs those are the three major goals that I have left that's gonna be it for this episode thank you very much for watching and I'll see you in the next one [Music] [Applause] [Music]
