HUGE New District [Apartments, Big-Box Retail, Houses] in Cities Skylines
Vložit
- čas přidán 7. 01. 2023
- In this episode we're taking a break from the heavy industrial theme that has marked recent episodes - instead building a huge new district with both modern and 1970's apartment complexes, 1950-1980s ranch-style houses, and big-box retail in the form of a Macy's department store, accompanied (of course!) by lots of surface parking!

- What's the rationale behind this project:
What happens if a washed-up-used-to-be-CZcamsr gathers a bunch of "generic" looking assets (though mostly inspired by Australian / Canadian cityscapes) with the hopes of creating a Cities: Skylines region full of towns and cities that both look realistic and are inspired by Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the USA, while at the same time don't really replicate any one particular style? No idea, let's find out.
Join me in this Cities: Skylines modded gameplay / let's play / timelapse series as we expand the region, and build new infrastructure, highways, public transit, industrial pockets, NIMBY-neighbourhoods, sprawling suburbs and bustling downtowns. And of course, use tress excessively to cover up any imperfections!

Turns out the issue I have been experiencing with the Parking lot roads can be solved by Direct connect roads mod: steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2104976832&searchtext=direct+connect+road
Much Love,

Hey infra, how could I contact you privately? Do you read Reddit messages or other social media ones?
@@duke.013 Hi - Ive got an email listed on the about page of the channel 😊
I have a feeling Garland is very good site for an edge city. Right by a highway interchange with a major road, and already a major shopping destination, perfect place to add more offices and stores.
I love, that even though you're building a cookie-cutter neighbourhood, you still add a basic bus network, which I think you don't see that often.
One idea for a future project is maybe, to have an old cookie-cutter neighbourhood being redeveloped with the big-box retail being replaced by a lifestyle center and larger modern houses being build in between the older houses (like the ones used in this build)
Keep up the good work :)
Thanks for the kind comment and the cool suggestion Karlscubo, I appreciate it! 😊
One of the best city skylines channel & project on yt right now, keep up the great work!! Are you planning to compile a mod/asset list at some point? Love your picks
Thanks a ton sandroplus, I really appreciate that!!
I might at some point compile a list. I used to have an old version of a list made in Load Order Tool. As for steam workshop collections, I don't use those and would have to make several as the cap is 1000 assets, so with my busy schedule that is a time investment that I would rather spend creating content 😊
@@Infrastructurist gotcha and thank you!!
Just found you dude. Never mind the incredible detail of your city, it looks like a city on google earth, the toonage alone is worth the sub. Congrates, and all the best 👍
I ADORE your approach to developing this map. Most people (me included) make every part of their cities as big as they would be in real life.
Huge sprawling suburbs, huge farmland areas...and after a while it becomes tedious to make all those areas look good simply because of HOW HUGE they are.
Meanwhile you make every single area as small as possible while still conveying the feeling of the area.
This inspired me to change my approach when making a Netherlands inspired map and, DUDE...Not only is it easier to find places for every project...It's also much more manageable when it comes to detailing and so much more rewarding to go through my map looking at all the cool looking small areas, all the projects I built...It completely got rid of the tedium of making a huge city.
I love it! Thank you for this inspiration!
I’ve really been enjoying this series and always look forward to new episodes. Just one tiny comment on this week’s build, I feel like it would be prudent to have another exit to the little housing complex in Danton surrounded by hedges so residents have easy access to the bus network instead of having to walk all the way around.
Nice build man :)
Seeing that railline now going through suburbs I'm thinking about doing something that's becoming more and more common: bike lanes/trails next to railroads.
In reality not a good idea, but would look cool :)
The music you put in these videos is what got my attention, but your ability to use the mods in ways I never seen got me to subscribe...I have learned so much from you so thank you.
Hey man! I hope you‘re well.
Even though you mentioned that you didn‘t map everything out before recording the episode, it never feels as if you‘re „just throwing stuff together“, just for the sake of getting stuff done. You seem to be having a clear concept with the development of the city as a whole and I appreciate that. Lovely build as always.
PS: love the music selection. 😉
Everyday I come to CZcams looking forward to your videos. Love the lots of details you do. Thanks for this series!!
So happy to hear that Camio, glad you enjoy it!
It looks so beautiful and detailed 🤩 I think such a big neighbourhood with high density houses needs a playground for children)
You really should add a pedestrian/bicycle path along the river. Would love to go for a walk there
"Time to get the gaffa tape and the scissors out" Hahah! Well it turned out into a very watchable episode in the end!
Have you considered having an episode where you build some bike infrastructure? It’s a more recent program in a lot of cities but could be interesting trying to implement it through existing development!
Since the railroad is passing through the new neighborhood you could build an elevated train station, that could be the explication of why they built high density nearby the station, and well that’s a reason to build a new station, since it would have very good ridership, you could consider the option of building a minimal station, and making that neighborhood a transit hub
Another fantastic addition. Really loving this build series!
In my opinion this is the best cities skylines series on youtube ever! I would love to play along with the same mods and assets you have. Day 12 asking for the mod/asset list!
Hi Eduardo, check my recent post on our community page 😊
@@Infrastructurist OH my gosh!!! Thank you so much ☺️ keep up the awesome work
@@eduardosagned6798 ty, I will do my best! 😊
Nice build! And I like the rebuilding of the narrow country ways as two lane suburban parkways instead of wide two lane roads or four lane parkways so often seen in the United States. And a bus line! You're thinking like a Canadian town planner and not a US American one 👍
*Dear Mayor Infra,*
Congratulations on yet another fantastic build, Mister Mayor. I know you may be busy and every effort is truly appreciated (seriously, your videos are one of the highlights of my week). May I submit the following suggestions: (1) *Add a dual track the freight line on the **_'Old Brickland Bridge'_* - or create an overlap track until it approaches the bridge - because as it stands trains could be stuck on the main line while a train traverses from the port. (2) *Add a bus route connecting Garland to the train station in Danton* to allow commuters from Pine Harbour and Port Douglas to be able to easily come to the town (or add an overhead station in Garland). (3) *A petition to rename Danton to Dammara Park* after the dammara or kauri genus of trees* - in keeping with your established tradition of naming major settlements after conifers. I apologise if I come off as demanding or abrasive, but I am just so excited about this project. I would be honoured if you gave any of my suggestions your earnest consideration.
*Your eager constituent (and self appointed advisor), J.K. Loans.*
It's crazy that you might have the ability to live off your CZcams career using Patreon getting only a couple thousand views per video, shows how underrated and amazing your content is.
wow, i remember watching all the uk build and intersections that you did. Im definitely glad to be back. ❤
Whoa that looks gorgeous!! So amazed with how you manage to turn a simple build into such a fancy one😊 Thanks a lot! For some suggestions, if I may, those red buildings mostly suit for office purposes than living because of the cargo facility right next to it, there are trucks all over the place all the time, this would that neighborhood not the fancy own and could potentially turn into a getto, so maybe you can repurpose those) For the bus stops: from the transport perspective the most thing that will make sense is to change asphalt at the stops to concrete, which is stronger (good for heavy buses staying at the spot) and at the same time it’s an identification of the stop for car drivers. And also it would be great if there was a small bike/pedestrian bridge to the other side of the river, so that people could get to the mall on there own)) Once again, amazing content, once I’m set in you country, wait me on the Patreon) Yours, Mike
Best Cities skylines channel on youtube!
I love your videos.
You perfectly capture the dystopian mindset of (mostly) american city infrastructure. It's hard to build like that when you actually know how easily you could design a livable city in this game.
Just look at that little housing complex you build 10:40 onward. Despite having footpaths within the complex you purposefully disconnected the paths from the bus stop you build later to discourage the people living there to take the bus instead of the car. This way car dependency stays high even when public transport is available.
You also masterfully display how difficult cookie cutter neighborhoods are difficult to navigate without car by leaving away logical footpaths and bike paths. And then at 4:24 you even cut the only non-car connection between both sides of the highway when you redesigned the underpass solely with cars on mind.
*chefs kiss*
Your videos artfully process and display the essence of car-brain.
Damn I love this series ❤️ cheers from France 🇫🇷
Hi Infra !! loving your series, i think is one of the best,so much details.... Keep going dude !!!
I've noticed one extra useless pilar on the highway (@28:09 on the river) , and i would like know if did you ajust the service point (garbage/transport area) for the Big box retail ?
One extra sugestion, can be could custom the bridge between the new residential area and Danton :)
Regards
City is looking so awesome so far 👏 😍
Thanks a lot! +
@@Infrastructurist you're welcome 😊
I love what you are building here, the amount of detail you add with just a few props is amazing. Are you ever going to add residential housing that are scattered around in the outskirts?
looks really nice. I'd just say I think at about the 26:00 mark you heavily landscaped behind the houses, blocking their view of the river. in the uk at least a river view values the property on average 57% more and it just seems like a developer or owner wouldnt want to block that view and go lighter on the landscaping. very minor and just a suggestion of course
> The new apartment complex you built and then put a nice Bus Stop behind it ... Unfortunately you hedged around the whole complex, you should go back and make a small passage through the hedge so the PEDESTRIANS can access the bus stops without having to walk all the way around the complex. I love the Artistry and detail you add to your builds. You really have mastered the tools of this game and I think many channels could learn a lot of technique from you. I enjoy watching every time. Thanks.
By the oil refinery, I think you should change the fright tail tracks to an older style rail track as this was the original line and links with the old bridge you built a few episodes back. I also think for the passenger rail lines, when you get towards the new modern rail bridge you should make the tracks look newer as these will have been realigned/replaced when the new bridge was built.
I like your builds ✨ but slight advice (do not quit your job) this is just a side gig 🙄
It would take some sort of toll to enter the port for security reasons (driver ID check)
I really feel the highways could use some sound barriers!
All those poor people living that close to constant noise :0
Thanks
I really be grooving watching these vids lmao
Great video,greetings from Zagreb.
Tack!
Wow, Stort tack till dig Peder! 😊!!!
Very relaxing
Such a wonderful episode, this serie is truly amazing ! You're a great builder.
But I have a question : did you forget the poll you made several weeks ago about the shopping mall in Downtown Pine Harbour ? 😉
Thanks a ton BoyBoy - I appreciate it!
I might have sort of slightly juuuuust a bit forgotten about it once or twice, and if I recall, it was actually your suggestion that won, right? 😀
No worries, I've got it on the to-do, it's long due 😂
@@Infrastructurist no it wasn't my suggestion tho 😝 but that's okay construction time is long, even if Coniferia 🤣
@@BoyBoy-cc3oh Unusually long actually.. Boy boy, do you have something to do with this, since your suggestion was not approved? ... I've heard rumours you're connected to the Mafia in Pine Harbour
@@Infrastructurist omg please don't tell the mayor ! Oh shit.. That's actually you ! Well, I have to leave the city now or you're gonna caught me 🚔🏛️
A roundabout ❤
Love you videos bro ❤
Glad to hear that Altin, thanks for the support 😊
Du gør det super godt min danske ven 🤗
Super late comment, but I would like to see maybe a footpath from the apartment complex to the bus station that it's directly next to. No reason why there shouldn't be one there, it also makes people easily be able to hop on the bus.
Give the homes by the river docks in their backyard
i really love your visuals! would you mind to share your mods / settings / themes in a video? Or did you already? :D
Coming from Europe I totally would add a pedestrian path from the bus stop up to Macy and the big resedential complex. But I know Americans are all for making it hard to walk 😅
Anyone can tell me the name of the song at the end cinematic? I loved it.
Next u need to build a coniferia army base next
What's the map theme buddy, any link to asset collection?
Hi RedVelocity, some information in the description to your questions :- D
👍👍👍🔥
Are we gonna get an large inland city like Pine Harbour or Port Douglas?
Bruh this is literally google earth in high res
But how did you get so many realistic vehicles
Yessir
💪😎
@@Infrastructurist Have you ever thought about building a small regional airport or something like that?
Day 1 of asking for: F1 track in woods/farmland.
What colour correction, graphics settings are you using. I had mine looking this realistic but Relight has suddenly started crashing my city.
Does the city has petrol stations?
Hey whats your graphic settings? my trees look 2d lol
Oh i see in the description . mmm ok
A state needs security defense and military for the borders
Hi
Are you making money from oil industry 🤔, and if so how much?
Not quite sure Anthony - sometimes I am, sometimes I am not.
Generally I am terrible at making dollarinos in this game. 😊
Hello I like your videos it is so Cities skylines, I am distracted by your sounds no offense
First
🚤
Anyone know what that last song/track is?
BTW @Infrastructurist great music choices.
I guess no one knows it. I just asked the same question.
