The Wayless Travel – the Trans-Manukau Link Road. Part One #CitiesSkylines
NOTE: DO NOT OPEN WITH MOBILE DEVICE OR ON MOBILE DATA. DESKTOP RECOMMENDED The map I am playing to build Manukau on (this my first city with the Industries DLC) has a major transport weakness where there is no east-west connection between two sets of inter-city motorways along the coastal area.

Happy Change the Calendar Day! More #CitiesSkylines Content Coming 2019
Manukau grows in leaps and bounds, also power to the City! Apologies on lack of Cities Skylines content in the latter part of 2018. I had to take my RAM from 16 to 20GB to prevent crash outs of the game and actually get the cities to run without jerking everywhere. https://youtu.be/5dNa6QgpeQs?t=126 With the additional … Continue reading Happy Change the Calendar Day!

#CitiesSkylines Next DLC: INDUSTRY
What I enjoy and urban designers avoid With so much focus on Paradox's other game Stellaris at the moment the announcement of a new DLC (expansion) for Cities Skylines came absolutely out of nowhere. Not that I mind nor do I mind it is on the one thing I like tinkering with and the very … Continue reading #CitiesSkylines Next DLC: INDUSTRY
Some Random Happenings in #CitiesSkylines oh and CRUISE SHIPS
Finally the cruise boats arrive I have been a bit busy on the Urban Geography in real life side of the ledger meaning not much time with Cities Skylines at the moment.

Who Say’s I Don’t Do Green #CitiesSkylines
100% clean green power There are several ways I like to keep my cities green in Cities Skylines: Power production will often come from low-carbon emitting sources including hydro or nuclear.
