THIS is where the architects live in Cities Skylines 2...

hello fellow engineers and welcome back to City skylines 2 this is Utopia well actually this this isn't Utopia enopia is over that way it's it's not looking the greatest at the moment like it's okay but it's a bit like it's a bit bog standard is it we got industrial over here pollution going for everyone the normal sort of City layout over this way this is meant to be an engineer's paradise and honestly I'm just not seeing why an engineer would want to come live here but today we will be putting an end to that and I think I'll do it by coming into here the progression Tab and we are going to unlock the highways so I need to unlock this first the advanced Road services oh that's how we get traffic lights I never realize that unlock and then we can spend our remaining two points on highways now being a highway engineer I know that a good Highway interchange is what's going to get me to go somewhere and honestly looking at this thing it looks more like a medical diagram of someone's genitals so what I'm going to do I'm going to I'm going to purchase that block it's going to cost me 7 and2 Grand Grand Bo but I think it's going to be worth it because then I can change this however I want to and whilst this isn't a fullway interchange we can still have quite a lot of fun with this although actually looking that I need to buy the block next to 8,600 why is that one more expensive what a ripoff I should probably buy that one as well just in case right anyway we have extra land we can now start rebuilding this so first off bulldozer I think honestly we just want to we want to demolish everything so b b b b normal boring interchange this road this road is a bit too straight I wouldn't mind a bit of movement in this road okay we're good I may I may have to delete these pylons just so I can like well build my road actually s it I'll do it now I'll do it now sorry everyone no electric for anyone but right so if we head into here yes we now have the highways so we want to stick with the two-lane oneway Highway cuz that's what these are built out of so we'll click on there we'll make sure we've got the simple curve toggled on and we want to come off at 180° angle so there's not a sudden jolt and then I sort of want to head like down a little bit then I want to make sure we're at 120° in the middle of this although look we are a little bit off okay so there we go we got 120° on each angle this is going to be like the center of where everything happens so these roads for now they're just they're just guidelines now what I need to do as well I need to mark on like the same length for like all of these so let's say let's say we use the arrows to Mark Arrow there Arrow there right so what we want to do we want to add a curve from this point to that point so if we go from that node over to that node you can see in a straight line it would look like that but I want to curve it so what I can do I can come up to this node there and that will be like the center of my curve yeah I can bring that down oh that looks quite nice lovely then I just delete these marker nodes and then we got a pretty tasty looking curve in there so if I just do the same for like the other arm then delete this little stub arm and then we can delete this one cuz we no longer need that however this is where things are going to get a little bit complicated cuz we got to try and mimic this on the road next to it so as that's the node let's mark that on the adjacent one so there now because we're left hand driving we're going to have to put in the the other left hand Road up this way I need to make sure they're like space the same how far apart are they 20 M if I just like come off there say 20 M so extend to 20 M all right then we just do a straight line between those I then need to mark on where that is on this one so like there and then once I've done the same thing on this arm we can then just extend all of these roads which will allow us to do what we did before so we want to grab that node come over there want to grab this nde and come over this way then this one go to there lovely right ignore the absolute Carnage I think once I delete some of these cuz remember like that straight 3 Road isn't needed so I think we've sort of ended up with what I was trying to aim for which is that sort of shape a triangle the second strongest shape known to man yeah we've just got to we just got to try and fix these messes by adding a load of bridges cuz basically like this this road here the butler Highway we want this to go over that road so that it does doesn't Clash now I'm a little bit concerned if I do delete this yeah it deletes all the way back to there don't delete all the way back to there game so what it may be worth doing again temporary markers if I add a node in like there does that allow me to delete just up to that Noe yeah it does okay that's cool so let's see if I can delete those two then we'll connect from this point in a curve but we'll add some elevation no not 10 m that's quite a lot how tall is like a normal highway bridge I don't know like 5 m then need straight bridge over the top although I say straight it is sort of curved so Bridge ends up there oh overlapping oh no overlapping objects is that just cuz there isn't enough gap between game says no oh but looking at it can you see the bridg is like going up and down yeah I reckon maybe my 5 m estimate is a bit too low so we'll try 7 and 1/2 sounds like a lot to me what do I know I'm just a mere civil engineer so up to there then ah yes okay so we were too low so as long as we keep that angle at 180 snap in the middle you can then do a slight curve to keep this parallel I want this to be as short as possible this bridge so as soon as yeah as soon as it goes like from Red overlapping to Blue we then click then we bring elevation back down to zero and then we click there and then B okay I think that's pretty good I'm not sure why why do we have retaining wall on that side and then that side we got like a bridge pit don't know I'm not going to don't worry about that for now anyway we've got one of these bridges in let's do the same for all the other arms right I've done two of the arms I'm a bit more experienced as in how this game works now so the one I want to raise is this road here so basically that will delete to the middle so that's fine delete that delete that I then want to delete this road as well and a little bit of this connecting road so if I just mark on like that delete that right next up you need to do your earthw works first I found and to get the right height I like to do my slope so we say increase to 7.5 we turn snap off and then we just keep that angle at 180° like that go somewhere in the middle like there and then our next node is going to be just before we do our Bridge like that then we grab the Landscaping tool and we say shift terrain and then we're just looking to get the height of the road so I've gone a little bit higher I can then come to the level to rain tool and then if I right click where I want that to happen so probably probably like that Contour there so I've just right clicked there and then when I left click that will lower everything to that level and you can see that's a good height for the road so now in order to get this arm like in the right spot I basically I've just got to make sure I build the pad first now this is actually how roads in real life are built like generally you always try and avoid like building a bridge right so I've got that in that's sort of the width of this Road H you'll notice though it's pretty it's pretty aggressive so what I'm going to do I'm going to do the slope terrain to and then right click down at the bottom level and then when I left click wherever you do that from is going to be the top of the slope so if we have a look at where this is going to connect in about there so I probably want to slope from just before that like that so if we head to the right you can see by The Contours that's added a nice slop in which means if we look like that lovely so our road can now go up there where it will connect where that bridge comes down and then I just need to do right click down there go from where the bridge comes across which will be about there somewhere right so we have our Earth Works in I am just going to get rid of that bit that I did earlier so let's just level that boo flat honestly this looks like an actual Highway construction site I'm getting quite excited about this sad I know anyway let's turn the snapping on you want to go from there turn the snapping off and then we've got to get our bridge now because it's on a curve I've got to do the 180° angle and then click sort of in the middle of the road like there and then my next one that's where I add the curve and try and get to the other side I also want to lower elevation back down to zero and then I'm just trying to get this parallel with the road below so I think there's quite good and then I can do the same to bring our road down like that nice and now when you look at this we've got our like Bridge structure and then it goes onto ground there which means I can connect this Junction in Fairly easily so again snap on click there snap off try and work out with the 180° angle like that where the middle of your curve is mine looks sort of like that and that isn't too I mean it's it's a little bit it's a little bit wonky W won't lie but it isn't too bad so I can then delete that little marker arm I can then look at that Kink and get really really annoyed then we can use the softened terrain tool to sort of get rid of these Jagged edges like that lovely now you'll see this has sort of ruined it's ruined this highway down here a bit I think I think it's actually cuz it it clashes with the bridge oh tell you what then maybe I can delete that bridge yeah do it again okay is that better no it's still okay it's still clashing still from far away that looks pretty good in my opinion and I think that will attract a lot of people once we've once we've connected up so let's just do that we make sure we snap with that one B that is a corner love to see it can then do the same from this arm so we say snap there for the Middle Point all right that's pretty smooth in my opinion this one I mighty righty a complex curve so if I want to go like there down to there and then connect in that did work okay that's cool then in the other direction is it as simple as doing that yeah that works that works okay we're good we're back in I mean to be honest those curves are a little bit sharp so let's just delete what's between them yeah do it like that instead that's way better so there is our new highway if we press play we should hopefully see some traffic on this at some point now let's press pause again cuz I just realized pylons still aren't connected so let's take pylons over this way and then down there like that all right cool we're back in business and we have demand for Stuff industrial commercial and tell you what since we've since we bought this plot we may as well extend our little roads up that way so let's do another grid like that right and that has a whole load of industrial area grided up so we'll Wang in some of those the cranes are going in that should meet some demand we need some more commercial now where was my commercial oh yeah it was over here wasn't it I think shopping between the two sort of housing areas so let's add another big Square maybe another one what's demand doing oh demand's dropping is it dropping all the way yeah okay we're good we're good and then the low density housing can go behind right nice then to get to this housing at the moment it's not the greatest you can see coming off our arterial road we got loads of traffic heading on to the distributor so what I might do I might add another distributor like at the back so extend the four-lane road we've already got in the future we may want to expand up that way so probably worth taking this like over in that direction and then if this is our arterial we got distributor there I might make another one from yeah up this way remember on the outside of the bend always good connecting in there then I want to make I want to get rid of these like these Crossroads I'll keep the crossroads on this road cuz this is now distributor but yeah for these local roads we're doing like staggered Junctions like that right oh and now we have some demand for medium density so we can either do houses or we can do some apartments I reckon let's let's do some apartments so I reckon up here will be good we need some more commercial so probably shove those I think up over this way I don't think commercial being next to medium density doesn't actually affect anything I've noticed the low density housing they don't like being near Commercial probably cuz it's a bit noisy so perhaps I'll move some of these guys cuz they're they're low density next to apartments and shops I don't think they like it I think I'd be better off putting the low densities down here on the waterfront yeah oh look I've unlocked the rock musician Mansion yeah we need to think about where are the Posh people going I mean everyone's poshh we're all Engineers this is Utopia but yeah we do need to think about where do we want our poshies to live oh and in the meantime I should probably keep an eye on like how happy people are so stuff is good ione's wealthy of course they are Engineers we're poorly educated I need to work on education oh I haven't put any schools in oh no I haven't put any schools in all right primary school I'm thinking oh hang on hang on I'm a large Village I'm a large Village but yeah primary school I'm thinking on that road could be quite nice sort of out the way but still connected to everything and then High School I probably want it on a distributor road so what it might be worth doing building over this way a little bit by buying some extra plots so we'll grab close to 25 Grand chump change me I got 2 million quid extend our arterial Road up sort of that direction realize I just built all of these houses on an arterial road which you don't ever want to do cuz they're going to have loads of traffic playing P right then I'm going to add another distributor off this and I'm going to shove my high school down there soften this into the bank like that then we'll just add a few more local roads just to grid up the area all right then our Rockstar's house I reckon they probably want to be sort of overlooking the lake a bit so let's shove their house there oh that is actually decent granted they've got a they got to look at the the water pumping station over there that's fine that's like the other side of the lake yeah tell you what I found our rich people area right anyway let's just paint a few of these up so we can get some low density going again get some around the back of the school as well all right then I think it's sort of important not to link like this area with over there cuz otherwise people are going to be like taking rat runs trying to get to work we want them to use the arterial Road that's what it's there for so it may be worth swapping some of these roads with like like a oneway system in maybe don't know for now I think we'll just keep going with what we're doing yeah right how's the happiness meter all good apart from healthc care I don't know why they why are they moaning like there's only six sick people okay there's seven now that's nothing anyway probably worth getting like a firehouse just so like people don't burn down and shove that on that corner quite nicely that work yeah that covers everyone looking good with then get police station as well I mean to be fair I feel like actually should these go on these probably should go on the arterial roads right they got nice quick access to everyone yeah police station there I'm going to shove fire station next to it instead then I'll demolish that one I get 90 grand back thank you oh here we go look I've cuz I unlocked the road Services I've actually got stop signs and traffic lights and no straight ah heads oh and actually look at the road condition this arterial Road where it's been so used it's getting a bit mullered I might get a road maintenance Depot in and again this is something that can go on our arterial road so we got that in that should help us fix potholes and stuff now we can upgrade this as well to get get a larger Fleet only cost 4 grand okay you can upgrade all these oh this is cool I I want to I definitely want to upgrade my police station upgrade the fire station I can turn yeah I can turn that bit into a garage so have even more fire engines nice right something I've noticed the traffic down here is not very good I think this roundabout sort of holding everything up so I may want to change this I mean alternatively I could just unlock roundabouts cuz this will allow me to have bigger ones bigger got to be better right yeah here we go so we only had the small roundabout central island we can upgrade these to like large ones that should allow more traffic I have just caused that card to crash sorry mate anyway if we speed that up I think because it's bigger traffic is now flowing a lot better yeah and look at that the incoming traffic has completely ceased so yeah we've we've definitely improved that nice oh no oh no up here though we have we have a big traffic jam oh we're a Grand Village I to been given another million quid we've also unlocked all of this so much stuff do I have enough progression points to unlock some large roads yes I do I need two I've got six so let's unlock those and then I'm going to make my make my distributor roads a bit bigger so if I make them the same size as the arterial by doing that sort of thing yes I am muring buildings but they'll get over it and then I can use the large roads to make my oh new signature building to make my arterial roads bigger so at the moment it's a four lane I can make a six Lane seven Lane and eight Lane so if I were to make it an eight Lane you can actually choose like if you want to like hop it over to one side or not I mean lie eight Lane does seem excessive maybe seven Lane asymmetrical if I can get yeah most of the Lanes on the left side that's where the traffic is coming from and then when it splits here the right two lanes can go onto that distribut and then the left two lanes can carry on on the arterial I think that should fix my traffic although I could definitely improve it I'm going to have to move this Firehouse here I think five Lane asymmetrical is what I want down here so as people come down they get gain an extra Lane if they want to go left everyone else goes right yeah this is good this is actually good I can feel biffer if he was watching this they'd be like oh yeah that's that's on to something there Firehouse back in let's upgrade it again that was a waste of money doing that earlier and then oh my goodness the demand for everything there's demand I need to slow down time oh my good look over here we've got like all buildings and stuff oh my goodness we've even got need for high density now of reach is low rent apartment all right I tell you what then let's do a strip of them all right and we've got huge commercial need oh man there's so I've got public transport now as well we can get buses I'm a bit overwhelmed the game's giving me too much stuff look how big my city is already as well I haven't dealt with trash at all there 22 tons per month of garbage being produced and we're not processing any of it h no one no one's complaining brilliant that's what I like to see but yeah I probably should try and fix that and what I was thinking like I'd love to make like a trash island I've worked out cuz the landfills they work in like an area I could if I just buy like that plot and that plot purchase for 15 grand I reckon if I grab the level to rain to just thinking I could put like a little there you go a little sort of Valley in there if we just watch that fill up by speeding up time we've made a nice little island I think this is where I'm going to house The Architects I'm going to put a prison on here and then I'm going to cover it in tresh yeah I just got to see like how this how this water sits cuz yeah I'm going to want to smooth out this Edge yeah there we go that is going to be their new home so we got to place these so that the entire island is in range so I've shoved two landfills down then just do dirt road over to like there is okay so I've built I've built what we need to do we've got a very small road coming over here this is architect drive now architect Drive leads to the these pretty tasty Bridges I'm not going to lie however because they lead to the landfill this is called rubbage like rubbish but rubbr then that leads to architect Avenue which leads to architect housing one and architect housing 2 now what I need to do with these to finalize this I need to click on this and then I can click this the area toour and then you can build like your landfill whatever shape you want so if I grab this node and bring it right over to the edge I can then literally go to like the edges of everything and really make this a habitat for Architects to thrive so if we just go around doing this to the area as best we can then that is one done I can just do the same for this other one and then would you look at that the perfect home for our Architects look at the lovely view they have I mean to be fair they do actually have like quite a nice view they get to see that lovely lovely bu but yeah I think I've been very inclusive there I've looked after the Architects that might come come and try and live in nutopia I think honestly I've done a good thing so that's probably a good place to leave it I'll say peace love and then jopia bye guys
