Military Base | Cities Skylines | 22 | The Simpsons

g'day guys tiles20 here and welcome back to springfield look who's building a military base well we this is probably one of the most requested things i ever get if any city skylines youtuber ever gets is when are you going to build a military base you're going to build a military base you know what'll look really good over there by the airport a military base well guess what i'm doing a military base and to be honest i couldn't not do one within this series quite a lot of stuff takes place not only not only do they mention springfield having a military base and there are a couple of like snippets of like things that happen there there's a whole episode that takes place within that base so we're doing quite a lot of references to that um you do have to understand that i am absolutely no military guy like i i don't i don't know the first thing about a military base i only know what i can see from the simpsons which is a cartoon and then for a real life example i flew over one that was in florida just on google earth just to get like a general idea of the layout of what a base would look like so there's going to be a whole bunch of inaccuracies that's that's kind of just the way it's going to look um but look we're not actually there yet but i wanted to flesh out a little bit of the farmland on the outer skirts of the city first up heading in this direction along this river way i thought that this would probably be a good spot for a little reindeer farm because there is a snippet where homer does go to a reindeer farm so i figured let's let's include one uh trying to get an idea of the sort of sort of the sort of agriculture and farmland that would like fit out in springfield i don't want to just build farms for the sake of building farms and i'm also not going to make sure that every single farm that i build has some sort of reference but you know for every like three to four or five farms i build i do want that to be um something that has some sort of reference or looks like something that um you know is part of an episode now just very quickly before i forget because i had already forgotten until right now but if you guys have not checked out my website i have a map on there that is um pretty much everything that i've built thus far a couple minus a couple of um of the more recent builds but it's a really great way to get an idea of the things we've already placed down with in this series but also just to see where everything sits because the layout of the city and thinking about you know if you're a real simpsons fan you would actually i think really enjoyed this map because there is just a lot of really fun layouts details that i don't think really exist besides i've seen like one other map that's kind of like this but i'm following a completely different layouts so it's just quite interesting to see how you know how i sort of interpreted the layout of the city and with all the names and it can get really nice and close just give it a couple of couple of seconds for it to load in because it is very detailed and i've designed i like that so you can actually zoom out get a good idea of where everything sits zoom in see some of the names it's quite fun like that and any feedback on that hit me up and if you want to share it i mean yeah go go share it i'd love more people to go and check it out um but you know maybe if you want to share it maybe like towards the end of this series so when it's all um really nice and complete so one thing before i build the military base i wanted to add in springfield penitentiary this is the prison within springfield uh it looks so different in so many different shots but i figured i'd just do one that was a bit of a blend between all of them and it's pretty it's like a pretty simple build i'm really just using the one that bad peanut created uh is these are like my favorite prison set ever it's like way better than the base game one and i've just peeled just another i think two of its buildings just to stack them on top just so it actually looks like the one from the simpsons and then the whole back part of it pretty much do whatever i like now technically within springfield there's a bunch of different prisons or jails there's the penitentiary which is the one that i'm building then there's also the the women's prison which is the one that marge goes to i don't think i've ever seen that episode it's one of the more recent ones when i say recent like within the last 10 years and then there's also the jail that's actually more within the city um and i just remember that one scene where jimbo's working out hey you're ruining it so i will potentially build those other ones but that's it's kind of a lot of prisons isn't it to build within just one city like maybe it's kind of realistic i don't know but i i'm kind of happy just rebuilding the one at this stage uh you know i'm sort of getting to the stage within this series where i'm coming to the realization that i'm just not going to build absolutely everything there's just way too much stuff to include um and a lot of the stuff is just not on the workshop so for instance the springfield downs which is where santa's little helper is found i'm not going to build that because i'd have to build that completely from scratch there's nothing anything close to that on the steam workshop so it's just like not something i'm really planning on doing we're looking at maybe like five four episodes left of this series i'm gonna wrap it up because i do have other things in mind and i think honestly i think that's all we really need and i think that's all people really want to see i think you're gonna get a little bit tired of me building the same thing over and over again trust me it gets a little bit old now you're about to look at some lost footage bam there it is there's just the airport built the layout of the military base is all there like don't i build just so quick and so fast i'm just such an expert at this no i am absolutely not an expert this took forever this took so long to figure out the layout and the idea of all this i built so much of this really late at night and i was super stoked and then i built one little thing i was like ah no i don't like that footage i'll just go back and delete it and i went back to delete that footage and turned out i hadn't been recording any of it so i lost all that footage but um that's probably a good thing because uh yeah because this episode is already 20 minutes long so i don't know how long this episode would have been if i had kept all that footage but yeah the layouts all there i guess if i was going to not include anything that would be the stuff to not include so that's maybe a little bit of a blessing in disguise but trust me when i first discovered that part wasn't recorded i was i was a little bit pissed off but that's kind of um that kind of happens every now and again but anyway we figured out the layout it's there um we'll get into some of the details um right about now actually this is what we're doing now we're actually just planning getting an idea of the assets that i actually have already subscribed to place them on that field over there just searching for military and base and army just all the keywords i'm searching through my workshop collection and just get an idea of the things that i've got to use and then i'll um end up just deleting that field over there because it's really just there for planning um but this part right now we're building the barracks of the base now i don't know how realistic it is having a military barracks so when i say barracks i feel like this is infantry and then we've also got the air force as well so it's combined i don't know if that's realistic they're probably separate let me know if you're if you're into that sort of stuff and know the difference but i'm not going to build two bases like that's that's definitely not going to happen i figured i may as well put them together and uh basically the two episodes that i'm mostly concentrating on is when skinner joins the army which goes back to the army and there's a couple of scenes there that we'll do some references to and then there's a whole episode that takes place at the air show where the simpsons go the air show evil villain scishow show bob and that guy who uh eats people and takes their faces i'm right here chief oh then where's sancho bob steals a nuclear bomb and threatens to blow up springfield if television is not cancelled within like six hours or whatever and then takes the bomb to the duff blimp and we'll be placing that down at some stage but a whole episode takes place there so that's why i wanted to include both like a airstrip air force and barracks because i felt like they needed to be in the same place but maybe in a real life situation i don't know if that technically would be but in terms of layouts we have the barracks that i've placed down the buildings for we've also got i guess the main hub where all the admin buildings are and it's also where the airstrip is and then i've also wanted to include a bit more of a like a touristic area of it i know that sounds a bit strange but there's an air show there i figured they've also got a museum there's a lot of these bases to have museums and i've also left some parking there i figured that parking's probably for events but then also probably for like other other things i guess but i decided to make it a grass parking area which something i haven't done before i kind of like it i just all it was very simple i just used a road just to um just to show the different driveways for the parking and then i'll place down some cars just park in that area and i quite like it it's very low detail very easy to make and then something else that i've placed down is where the air show takes place the stadium where the simpsons are watching the very thrilling kite show and then that's when they first see sideshow bob has stolen the nuclear bomb on the screen uh and i'll i think i'm gonna come back to the area because i forgot to place down the kites there's there's like some kites on the um steam workshop they're not box kites but it's close enough um and just i'm just working on some of the admin stuff around here placing down some random military buildings some very simple path in between which i think just really adds quite a lot to the area um i've got some like tanks and some humvees and other trucks like that and then there's this great scene with grandpa simpson and i just figured i had to include it this elevator only goes to the basement and someone made an awful mess down there and then something else i really wanted to include was like a big plane that sat at the very front entrance of the base so i just grabbed this um this just great model here there's a bunch of really awesome models of um just military stuff on the steam workshop for anyone who just wants to build anything military related but yeah just place that down it looks awesome as like a greeting a greeting thing as you first come into the base uh yeah i knew that i wanted to play something down like that as soon as i started working on it um and now we're over at the barracks i wanted to just place down some paths so i'm using this really simple path it's um really tiny really nice and thin and it's perfect for things like this where um yeah you're really just connecting up some of these buildings and i think those paths just make just make it look way better um some recreation some basketball courts and i'm keeping things pretty low detail pretty open not a huge amount over here i figured open space is probably something that's gonna be more realistic um but trees are what really i think what really make this place work a lot better um and it's just a small shrubs as well so i've got these really great gray flame um little shrubs that um are just they just add so much because they're just these little tiny things and they're really like brushy and just all over the place they don't look like they're being well manicured and that's like the best thing about them i think so i'm just placing down a few of them but try not to do just a crazy amount because yeah it's quite easy to get a little overboard when placing down trees and then this area down here like i'm just gonna let you guys figure this one out so i mean if i'm gonna be making a reference to skinner at you know in the army uh like what what scene do you think i might be referring to here it's like a big open fields there's it looks like a little bit broken up a little bit demolished it's not um you know definitely not a manicured area placing down some decals of some of these holes any ideas got some guesses well if you're guessing the mortar scene well you guessed correctly and this was something i definitely knew i wanted to include uh i figured if we're going to make this scene we definitely need the smoking k from the quicker marks which is um yeah it's a pretty uh pretty fun little detail just there um a bit random i like to know if anyone's like watching this who don't actually watch the simpsons like hit me up in the comments if you just just enjoy watching this even though you don't watch the simpsons um because i think it might be a little bit um diff i don't know is it difficult to watch is this a difficult series to watch if you don't know the show probably is a little bit uh but if it's made you watch the show also hit me up because i uh yeah it's not like i watch the show all the time but when i start working on this series you know because i don't think i'm working on all the time but when i do start working on it i do end up watching a lot of a lot of simpsons because it does take me a while to find the snippets of clips and you know the references and to remember back to an episode and then i go like okay maybe i should include this and then i end up watching a whole episode and so you know it's it's made me watch a lot of simpsons which is not a bad thing but it's it's also a bit of a time-consuming thing um now we're starting to work on the actual airport side so not only am i not a military guy i'm also not an airport guy so don't expect the most detailed of airports i was really just after the layout and to get a couple of good references and that's about it but what i did know i had to include was a fueling area for the airport so that's what we're doing here just using some oil tankers and or petrol tankers i guess yeah petrol petrol wouldn't it and you know there's definitely like not enough space for the plane to get through and they're most probably on the wrong side but you know whatever we're just we're just going for fast big builds and um i think it gets the job done um and i encourage you to do stuff like this every now and again you know don't feel the pressure to build like the most perfect of all airports i mean just the bad bones get an idea from google earth get get some inspiration from like some other people and just go for it otherwise you can just spend hours just thinking about how it's going to look and make sure it's like this make sure it's like that and yeah i think sometimes it's really important just to just to build it and plus don't forget about the frame rate start adding decals and making sure that you know there's the right sign that goes here and goes there it can get a little bit crazy and i also realized that i probably had a little bit too large of a space so i ended up just shrinking down the size of the airport just a little bit over here i also needed a bit more area for a bit of nature over there just felt like it was too abrupt anyway so that actually works quite well but something that i always really do enjoy in city skylines is just creating those borders from nature and um you know built up area so fences trees right up to the edge of the fence i love it i think it just looks so cool and even just changing the color of the ground i think just changes a lot you know just makes it show that one area is well um well kept and the other is just untamed wild area and i kind of like it it's always fun to build stuff like that i've just swapped down to the blimp i guess what is it the blimp depot i've just changed it to a blimp stop because i do want the blimp to stop here and um you know have some sort of functionality i don't want to just place down the prop i do just place down the prop just because i do want it to be permanently there but i also wanted to see that it was making its way its journey over here so there's a little bit of an overlap every now and again but i mean i think the payoffs much much much better um and i'm also putting in this taxiway no it's a service vehicle i don't know i told you i don't really know airports but um yeah it's a service vehicle road um it's just a regular old roads i actually have to i sign out of um i close the game shortly and then load up a new road to swap it out so yeah don't get too used to that it gets swapped out pretty shortly and then i figured we should probably add this uh little alien guy because there is that scene where they open up the hangar and the alien guys in there so yeah added him just in there he's got his problem probably won't ever really see it but just know that he's there okay just know that he's there um and then a wheelbarrow and a um a bomb because i figured that's something we definitely needed to so just those little details those little things that you might never ever notice again but just know that they are sitting within this base um i've swapped out now the old road to the service road i think it looks a lot better and it's time to come together like it's all all piecing together you can see that i'm not really adding in like tons of detail around the actual airport you know it's really hard to detail airports because there is just like big chunks of concrete and i guess in a realistic way you would put different types of concrete and different types of slabs and i will add a couple of different extra slabs just to change it just a little slight a little bit but you know not quite as much as some of those big detailed airports you um can sometimes see on reddit and instagram and stuff i mean some people detail these things up pretty pretty well not not me i'm not gonna not gonna do it in this episode um but just some really simple things keeping a military style putting in some jeeps and some uh little little hummers i think i would have really loved to have added in some more historical planes but i just didn't really have any i wasn't like subscribed to many of them but uh these jets these look so good ladies fighters um there's a couple of different variations but they just look so good like sitting down there just really still that this is a military base not just a regular old airport but yeah i've just added in some decals down there not a huge amount these skid marks are great because uh these tyres like the plane tyres leave a lot of different marks down here and also popped in some different concretes just where the plane sits but not a huge amount and just some foliage and someone's going to probably tell me i'm adding in too much foliage down here but you know these little shrubs i think are pretty worthwhile they uh just add a little bit of extra around here which i think is definitely needed and then just adding in a whole bunch of trees and mostly going with the pines um further away from the actual runway and have made sure that there's pretty good clearance from the runway from like the trees that surround it uh but those roads sort of stretch out you know going out towards like the other areas of the uh city they go to places like hicton and um you know some other roads go towards like the desert and the badlands so there's like quite a lot out this way and we're gonna be getting out this way um in the next episode i mean have a little guess if you will of what we might be building next week or next episode it's going to be um it's coming out towards the badlands uh real uh real iconic area so that's going to be a lot of fun to put together but that is for next episode for this episode we are wrapped up and i want to say a really big thank you to you all for watching it's very much appreciated and i want to give a special shout out to some of the people supporting the
