In "Pacifica City," a Cities Skylines 1 series, the creator returns to the game due to uncertainties about DLC releases. Using the Vanilla Coast map, the city is built with Left Hand Traffic, Real Time Mod, TM:PE, Transport Lines Manager, and more. Despite technical issues, the creator embarks on the city-building journey. Watch the series at the provided link.
The author achieved a 50,000 population milestone in Cities Skylines 2, surprising even themselves, and is preparing for the next 50,000. The post reflects on initial thoughts, bug issues, traffic problems, and the need for spatial planning. It also adds that the nuclear power plant in the game is overpowered.
The video extract addresses the issue of a city outgrowing its infrastructure, particularly focusing on the traffic problems in Neo South Auckland, originating from an outdated motorway interchange. Possible solutions are discussed, including replacing the interchange and compensatory housing development. However, the resulting traffic issue shift indicates further infrastructural upgrades are needed.
After reaching a population of 10,000, urban planning is underway for the next phase of Neo South Auckland's development for 25,000 residents. The process is detailed in a two-hour video featuring spatial planning, testing of new buses, and a review of the Cities Skylines 2. Key points are addressed within video chapters, including an introduction to a new light rail line and a preview of the International Airport. Future development is set to reach a population milestone of 50,000.

Getting the transport system right - both vanilla and modded In this longer highlight I go through the basic notions of Road Hierarchy and its planning, building and optimisation. Note: the City is still in very early stages so transit and cycling infrastructure will be in its infancy (localised) until the City further establishes. https://youtu.be/LFp5v_OKktI … Continue reading Road and Transport Hierarchy: Planning, Building and Optimisation #CitiesSkylines #MixedReality
Short highlight on getting best bang for buck out of interchanges I run through how to build and optimise an interchange over a motorway. The interchange used was the YumblTV interchange available on the Cities Skylines Steam Workshop. https://youtu.be/G9Pntl52BjI Optimising the interchange If you are wondering about transit and cycling infrastructure, this will get placed … Continue reading Building and Optimising Interchanges in #CitiesSkylines (non Vanilla)
Settling the infrastructure down, going through what Road Hierarchies mean (full play through) In Day 2 of recreating South Auckland as part of a Mixed Reality build in Cities skylines I go through the motions of laying down the core transport infrastructure.
