Cities Skylines: Sunset Harbor - New Gruntings (Part 1)

hello everybody my name is promise and welcome to another city skylines series back by popular demand I love city skylines it might just be the best city builder currently available on the market today that said it has been a while since I last played I think our last series use of the green cities expansion several months ago if not a year or two ago and I have played a little bit using the park life and industries expansion but everything after that I've kind of dropped the ball and it's all very new to me so there's a lot of new content that we get to explore today on this channel for the series and for myself personally very excited about it let's go ahead and start up a new game and build a city where should we start well I think since the sunset Harbor expansion is the newest let's go for the new contents with either the azure gulf map looks pretty decent crater Falls and that's kind of pretty I like that desert oasis I think I'll pass Fisher Enclave and swamp lands out of all these I think I'm gonna go for the crater Falls cuz that one seems pretty good and for the name of this city let's go for new gruntings in honor of a totally different game that has nothing to do with this but we had fun with it alright let's go ahead and start up a new city and have some fun and here we are in our first starting 2 kilometer by 2 kilometers square of land so this map looks very pretty I like it I mean the maps usually look very good but like this is actually pretty good layout lots of rivers is gonna make this very interesting though we're gonna have a hard time actually taking advantage of all of the land that is currently available to us but at least starting off here I mean I do see that we have two highway entrances so I think the best thing for us to do is pry just go ahead and connect those up right button or to unlock some of our basic roads we first have to actually place down a singular road so let's just go ahead and place that one there then we'll just go ahead and delete it and that way we've at least unlocked everything and I think what I'll do is I'll go ahead and place down a simple medium road to start us off and we're gonna go straight down the middle over here and this way we can have kind of like a central avenue that everything will build off of to start sound pretty good I think so and then to control our traffic let's go for some one-way roads going from here to here and then here to here now I do have them move at Madh so if you want to move some of these little guys a little bit around here we could certainly do that not sure if we have to but I mean yeah a little bit more symmetry comes out of that we so desire all right we'll do that there and we'll do the same thing down over here like so okay so we do need to get ourselves some basic grid patterns to start I think usually the way that I like playing city skylines is we start by building what I consider old town right and old starter towns use you're gonna have some sort of a Main Avenue with a lot of the commercial districts and then all the neighborhoods behind and it's gonna be very simple very efficient very cheap and then after we have that built up and the city continues to grow that's ultimately ends up being our primary city with all the skyscrapers branching off from there we have the suburbs where I like doing a lot of different asymmetrical neighborhoods that kind of stuff with the weird windy roads you would expect to see if you're flying over a city now let's see there's no so much water on this map we could make use of the new fishing industry but I think it's gonna take us a little while to unlock that so I'm not worried about it right now let's start by taking a look at let's say water okay so water is flowing down this direction so if we want to dump sewage it's gonna have to be down over here pick up some new water over here okay seems reasonable wind speed um not a whole lot of good potential areas for windmills unfortunately just down here and over here it looks like which is not amazing but it will certainly get us going okay well um for our starting roads if we have our main avenue here then what I should probably do is you know I think what to do is I'm gonna make this kind of our starting industrial area down over here and this is primarily going to be some commercial district along the coast for tourism and such and then we'll have lots of residential and commercial areas out over here sounds reasonable to me in fact we might be able to have like a nice little Mariner or marina kind of area just some water recreation since this does appear to be like a little lake feeding into it or I guess we could make use of the fishing industry here to kind of depends on how profitable we think that'd be let's start with some of the basics so I want to place down some more roads I let's see we're gonna do how are we gonna do this simple grids I said simple grids I want to leave myself a little bit of room to expand so we'll do something kind of like this I think to start come over here and I'm gonna make use of the one way roads trying to maximize our traffic and kind of force people to go in the right direction right so long here like this and then we will have some more roads continue on down like so and then it goes back down like this etc okay that way we're just trying to control the flow of traffic a little bit more okay there we go not too bad so let's start with placing in some nice residential areas down over here kind of would like to have commercial kind of taking up most of this space down along these ways to the main avenue but residential can kind of sit in the back of that because I don't want the residential areas being immediately up to the major traffic zones but that should be more than enough zoning just to get us going then when you get ourselves some power now a coal power plant would probably be the most efficient also a lot of female pollution but it costs five hundred sixty per week in nineteen thousand dollars to set up 40 megawatts of steady electricity as opposed to the wind turbines which can give you up to eight megawatts or less and cost six thousand not the most price efficient but we don't need a ton of power this will be wasted for a while so one windmill at the start of the game let's say right up over actually I'll just go ahead and do it down over here just a couple of windmills to start us off should end up being enough at least for the immediate needs and we'll set up a quick little water pump here and a little sewage dump down over here there are some new stuff that got added into the game such as the inland water treatment plants which actually takes the water treatment and then pumps the waste into the ground and creates ground pollution but cleans the water and sends it back in so if you don't have any place to dump your sewage this ends up being an option for you obviously I'm not worried about it though so we're gonna set up some pipes which go all the way up over here this is gonna be a little on the expensive side for us to start off just because we kind of are taking advantage of the entire map so everything's gonna be widespread but oh well I think we'll be a-okay so let's see we need some power to go along here and then we'll go ahead and ruin the coastline by getting some more power lines off this direction all the way over to the sewage plants perfect and then we need to get some power up over this away set it up over the Avenue if we can there we go alright and that should be enough to get us going there okay so that's some of our basic utilities taken care of and we still have twenty four thousand dollars to spare let me go ahead and unpause the game and while we are trying to fill up some of our residential zoning since there is plenty of demand let's start thinking through our industry now I do think we have some fertile land along here I can't see the natural resources but this looks like fertile land to me which is actually very good for farming same over here honestly farming would be a pretty good option as far as a pretty good option as far as getting people jobs and not creating a ton of pollution but still I'm not sure hey why is no one moving into my city yet I need some beautiful tax revenue there we go there's the first round of suckers they're actually moving where we have our electrical utilities which is great because as they move in they're gradually expanding out to the power grid like so so keep doing what you're doing this is fantastic thank you thank you all for joining my beautiful little community I promise I will make it better than this going forward I do hate using grids they're the most efficient but they're also by a longshot the most boring yeah all right let's see um we are gonna wish that we had some sort of a medium road do I want to take advantage of the farming I kind of do honestly but I want to also isolate a lot of the pollution down this direction so we're gonna start by getting one big avenue and this is expensive of course but I often find that on on the way to our industrial sections we tend to get a lot of traffic as it expands very quickly so I'm gonna go ahead and try to curve this road down along over here let's try to keep some of these rocks cuz I think they're cool and maybe we make use of this in the future but for now that should be fine then we go ahead and set up some quick little grids down over this direction yeah we're gonna have to get rid of one of the rocks but that's probably fine and that ships is not what I meant to do can we upgrade you guys to regular not one-way roads perfect okay then we have that and we can get ourselves some industrial zoning like so and we'll need to get some water if as well the Duke and the booty okay and that should already be pretty close to connected to our power grid so I'm not worried about that so as people are moving in they need jobs of course which means we are to be getting in some commercial buildings here comes our first drugstore don't ask what kind of drugs I sell you don't want to know and also some industrial areas down over here we have a fish stick Factory it's almost as if in sunset Harbor they added in the fishing industry and the game really wants you to take advantage of fish I will say I just I freaking love city skylines aesthetically it is so stinking pleasing to me and you can have so much fun with all the different kinds of roads and is curving things around I don't care if it's efficient I mean I do at the beginning of the game because I'm poor but eventually I don't care at all and there's so many cool YouTube videos out there of people who have created absolutely insanely beautiful cities I mean is rural stinking impressive to me well while we wait for all these plebs to move in and start giving me that beautiful tax revenue funny story this is actually not the first time I tried recording the series though on a different map but I actually forgot that I had set my natural disaster frequency to maximum and we got struck by a meteor it was kinda hilarious in the first video now I'm no wuss trous cuz something goes bad doesn't mean I have to immediately restart the series it just wasn't a very good recording session in general but that was a pretty funny moment so love you guys enjoy all that it can totally happen now probably a better way to actually run your roads here and stuff it's actually make sure that no one is able to actually like get rid of these zones right here so that no one can have a house along this one-way road which means no one can park here it's always flowing and in the future I may end up doing exactly that but I'm leaving myself a little bit of room here deliberately because when I want to upgrade these two larger streets for the skyscrapers we're gonna wish that we could expand and congratulations new gruntings is now a little hamlet with a population of 420 that unlocks different tax revenues and rates loans which is actually very helpful cuz I'll need some cash and we have some new services garbage healthcare education and so on okay beautiful so we are gonna need a landfill probably to start us off let's go ahead and place something down over here it's not exactly nice I mean it's gonna create a ton of pollution but oh well we do need to some place to dump it and oh these guys are upset well you know what too bad for you you're poisoning the planet with your terrible industry anyway you're just gonna have to accept the landfill it's actually probably a terrible idea now that I think about it we probably should not have this year all right all right fair enough hang on let's actually get rid of this I shouldn't do that shouldn't do that let's go ahead and place the roads and get them somewhere else further away doo doo doo doo will do something straight and then probably come along over here close the sewage plants there we go we'll do that and then we'll place the landfill over here instead okay you stop complaining now good now of course healthcare is going to be very important and this is one of the reasons we want to place it along an Avenue where traffic is not going to be as big of a deal so we'll place a quick clinic right down there and unfortunately I don't have enough cash to place down any sort of a school but I know that I'm going to need that so this might be a good opportunity to go and take ourselves a loan I think we'll take the silver sunset Bank with five percent interest not exactly a great deal but it's gonna have to do and we'll place a school probably somewhere over a good central location that's not gonna get in the way of my future roads how about right over here trying to destroy as few houses as possible but I think that's gonna have to do all right we've got a school which means all the little chillings can go and get their education and education is pretty nice not only because as your industry grows up you're gonna need more educated workers in order to keep that going but also because more educated people aren't as trashy and that I'm not saying as like a socio-economic like thing I mean literally they just dump less trash they literally throw less trash on the ground and you make less garbage so it's good it's a good thing that we should always be doing there we go it's all starting to come together look how freakin cool this is now I wish it would stop raining it appears to have been raining for several months now where are we in the frickin UK I've never been by here it's wet oh there we go now we are a worthy village where thee of what's in determined by who that's what I want to know but we have reached a population of 800 which means now we can buy out a new area and we can set up some good districts and get more loans and set her up now we also have access to some emergency state services the police department and the agriculture specialization so let's see we need a firehouse to start us off no doubt and again I need it in a semi central location I guess I'll place the firehouse close to my clinic and then I would like to also get my police set up and we can set you guys over here honestly and you still have pretty decent rains so we'll go ahead and do something like that there we go so crimes not gonna be an issue fires aren't gonna be in issue and we're still making some beautiful money oops we are almost completely running out of power okay now might be the time to go ahead and start moving to a more reliable source of fuel with the coal power plant and that unfortunately means I'm gonna have to take out yet another loan with a load of interest and some it cost me a ton of money but at least we get sixty thousand more bucks that I can work with for a while so let's see a quick little power plant nobody wants this thing I'm in a place to buy the landfill there we go that's what we think of you hot garbage but our power needs should be solved for a very long time now so that Elise gives us the room to continue expanding I think we're gonna go ahead and start setting up some basic farms and stuff and that means we need industry so let's see let me just double check this is consider be fertile land right yes it is okay oh there's also a whole load of iron ore over here or some form of war that we could extract okay more fertile lands and lots of it some oil oh nice I don't think I want the forest though forests are prone to like burning down and stuff also I think there's something very romantic about just having a but a nice little farming community nearby right so let's see if we're gonna do this to start us off I think we'll place down some roads along here okay and we're gonna name our districts based off of the patrons who are of the correct tier to your three and higher you guys may remember I talked about that in a video so now it's a very good time to do this what I'm going to name Glade Park let me take a look at our patron list and see what my options are okay I have randomly selected agent whisper which means I'm going to name this whisper farms thank you very much for the support and enjoy your farm boom done okay nice little district set up right over there okay so if we go to our industry now where's my oh right we first have to actually assign the district hang on farming district yon there we go that's what I wanted okay farming industry is done it's still not here why not are we supposed to have access to this oh we need to have a population of 1200 didn't you tell me that I got a population 12 okay we can't make use of the farms yet we'll come back to you whisper farms I just need to get a few more peoples and by the way let's go ahead and just create like a little district over here - okay how's this we're gonna do this there we go and since I'm creating another district this means that I'm going to need to get myself another patron name - in like three minutes beautiful what am I gonna call this I have selected Alvin flaying for today's name so we're gonna call this one Alvin's landing there we go I don't know if I'm always gonna make it a possessive like this if we can find some other creative names I'll happily do that but there we go so now we have Alvin's landing and the whisper farms district set up and ready okay still need a little bit more in terms of our demands so we can continue growing a couple hundred more populations should be enough we don't need any more industry at the moment though I will go ahead and just clear out some more of these sections just cuz I don't like seeing that almost border Gore city equivalents anyway and we need even more roads okay let's go ahead and start building on this side of the Avenue now huh I'm a little confused we have pretty high demands and I place down some zoning but absolutely nothing is happening is it because there wouldn't be any power over there is that what you guys are concerned about if we build a single commercial building over here and it expands the power network you guys gonna start building homes Wow you guys just could yep nope that's exactly what it was you guys just didn't think you'd have power yeah understandably you won one you would not want to build some new property in an area where you can't find any power I do get that but there we go all right come on guys bring me those taxes I need them and now we are a tiny town little new gruntings it is growing up so fast park areas industry areas landscaping blah blah blah parks and plazas more industry areas including the new fishing industry parks are gonna be important for us and a whole load of policies if you want to we can ban pets like an authoritarian jerk canals oh I don't we can make use of canals in this map we probably could if you want two fences not worried about that a whole bunch of new parks we do have high schools available now public libraries are a new type of building which is very good for people's recreation but a little on the expensive side still cool all right stuff we can do that but now first let's go ahead and set up the whisper farms cuz it's gonna take a little while for this it's gonna take me a little while for this industry to build up enough to a high enough level we get some serious money out of it so we got to kind of start somewhere farming industry and farming main building why can't I place you now create an industry area I did oh I did the wrong kind of industry area hang on hang on hang on hang on interesting it is farming industry but it's not an industry area and that is why it did not work you got it okay so let's try that again this right here this is the farming industry I don't even know why they have both of those options why can you create a district and then set it specifically for this if you're not allowed to actually you know build farms here I don't really understand why that works that way but okay so we should probably go ahead and get rid of this and then replace it there we go okay with that down now we can place down a farm main building which I'll do right here it does give you some idea what our production chain will look like if you really want to make some serious profit we need some extractor building some we need to process it then turn it into I don't know some sort of a special good and then we need to sell it at commercial zones or just export it on the highways one of the other I mean it's perfectly viable so we have our whisper farms main building now we can place down fields I could go for crops fruits these are all options there are animal pastures let's see processing buildings variation requires crops to produce farming special goods animal products all processing buildings is this consider to be a processing building exactly it might be we may want to start with just some basic crops because those are easy for everyone to understand and no one feels threatened by these so I'm gonna place down a couple of these like so and they're a little on the expensive side also oh crap wait I made greenhouses wait is that is that actually what I did huh I didn't know you could change this so does it actually matter doesn't matter what is being produced technically I think it doesn't it's literally just appearance we just produce generic crops okay well I guess you really want to tailor what your farming areas look like that as an option for you but there you go so okay we have a couple of extractors and now we should start producing a bit and this also will be providing some jobs over time which is great we might even want to give ourselves a nice little farming community try it out over let's say along here like so and then another one just down over here okay and this will give me just a little bit of extra residential so that people can live close to their jobs and these will be are the farmers are gonna stay oh yeah we should probably go ahead and place down some parks as well you know start giving people a bit of recreation and entertainment to raise those property values and stuff right seems like a good idea to me go for a small Park which is deceptively not especially small a little playground now that one actually is pretty small it's very cute um we'll place down a little playground over here in this corner destroy some homes destroy some lives and some dreams and kinda fit a large park somewhere else not quite I haven't left myself enough space for that well let's go ahead and place down a small park quote unquote right over I guess here there you go and that should give us a lot of extra recreational value and then I'm curious about these public libraries can we afford this no twenty two thousand dollars ouch but does produce a lot of extra entertainment value and I believe one extra benefit is you can raise the intelligence or the education of citizens who patronize your library so it's another way to increase education while also giving some recreation anyway okay so this park is looking pretty nice right over here I like how the pathing like automatically like hooks up to the sidewalks and stuff here I wonder do I still have the mod where I can kind of place my own paths and stuff because that has usually resulted in some really nice manually created parks you don't get the same entertainment value of an actual park but it looks and that's half the battle in this game everything has to look good by the way the game was correctly pointing out we could buy some more land um where but I want to do that well good question probably right over here kind of sticking to the highway I don't have to build a whole new segment of highway quite yet over here would certainly make for some fantastic farming areas but I'm not worried about that right now so if we go to the is this it yes this tilemap mode here yeah this isn't connected so I don't wanna build anything over here I want to kind of stick to this I think so let's go ahead and purchase this land for 3,300 boom and now we can't expand the whisper farms if we so desire do you guys think we should try playing a little bit with the fishing harbors we probably should try at least a little bit right it doesn't have to be like a huge industry for us but if we set up like a couple little fishing harbors over here there are apparently a whole mess of anchovies just sitting here in this little lake just waiting to be plucked right out of there that could be kind of fun just do at least a couple of them or something right a little guy right out over here we could always delete it later if we so desire but then we have this whole thing for a fishing route once a fishing harbour is built use the route to create a looping route on the water starting and ending in the same fishing harbour after it's done they send out fishing boats the length affects the yield interesting but okay let's go ahead and do ourselves a little spline e and can go out here even though oh we can totally go out over here even though I don't own this land oh that's funny okay is there any reason not to just make a really long route like really though is there any reason not to just do this I don't know no one's told me that I can't so I'm gonna go ahead and assume that yes this is in fact the prime strategy for your fishing routes at least until such a time that you decide that you'd like your people to be able to go and hang out on the water right up wait right right then it up got it okay so that's gonna be our fishing routes oh good perfect timing now we're a boomtown which means I have a population of twenty-two hundred and they have access to a whole bunch of different types of public transports and I can start specializing in ore industry and now we can force a whole bunch of other policies everybody had better recycle or else you get shot lots of different intersections if and roads piping cemeteries elder care child health care these are new actually we should probably go ahead and place down a high school up to this point I don't actually have one how about one right along over I don't want this one along the Avenue to be honest because we need this actually to reach a large area so I'm gonna go ahead and take down some of our commercial buildings in favor of a high school right along here there we go now we have actually better education for everybody hooray what other kind of services might I want well we are gonna need things like cemeteries I know that for a fact and I'm gonna go ahead and place one right over by the fields I think because I don't know maybe having a cemetery next to a farm isn't crafts or anything seems find a place one right there there we go should meet those needs okay and we can't afford anything else cuz I'm broke but still I think we've made some pretty solid progress along here new gruntings is coming along nicely looking forward to getting away from this grid pattern but it's gonna take us a little while to become fully sustaining as we get a lot more land I will certainly start doing that especially on these tiny little islands or I can't really do a whole lot else this is cool by the way look at this I didn't even notice little waterfalls it's great this is a cool map it's actually a pretty cool map well thank you all very much for watching I hope you guys are looking forward the rest of this series cuz I am certainly looking forward to playing it I've missed this game it's pretty darn fun so be sure to hit that like button leave a comment subscribe make sure you hit that notify Vell and I will see you guys next time [Music]
