A look at Planning, Cities Skylines and how via Mixed Reality I work with both (in game play) I have started a series via Twitch which will be uploaded to my YouTube channel on Planning with Cities Skylines. It is a six-part series look at the more advanced mechanics of Transport Planning in the game […]
Explaining the Transport Lines Manager Prefix system while riding a bus While we go riding the Pukekohe Circuit between Pukekohe and the Airport, I explain in brief how the Transport Lines Manager mod can help make the most of your transit system especially with Rolling Stock allocations for each respective route. Let’s ride the bus […]
My first attempt at a small international airport While I saw my counterparts attempt some of the most complex multi runway airports possible I decided to go right down to basics (given this was also an existing mature city meaning I have limited space). Introducing Palpatine International Airport, a single runway small international airport using […]
Another day in First Person Mode It is known that I like spending a lot of my Cities Skylines time in First Person Mode. Why? I like to see from Helicopter or ground level how my cities look and feel, as well as finding any problems like jammed buses or intersections (derp). Thus, we have […]

Reblogged this on Talking Southern Auckland and commented:
Some people say; “Oh Cities Skylines is just a game that is easy to do in building your cities.”
They could not be more wrong if they tried when establishing large cities especially of Mods like Real Time, Traffic Manager Presidents Edition, and Realistic Population and Growth are all enabled.
For perspective when putting Urban Geography concepts through the simulator:
It takes about a week to draw up everything needed to bring an urban development online (and the urban development has not occurred yet). This is shown in the picture looking down onto the Sky Tower and the road network just beyond it.
It will take about another week of urban development and tweaking to get the picture showing a fully developed street (not road) with the active and transit modes working.
So about 70-80 hours of solid Urban Geography being put in just to establish a single large District like a City Centre. It takes even longer when establishing Industry owing to logistics supply mechanics.
