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. Below Road and Transport Hierarchy: Planning, Building and Optimisation #CitiesSkylines #MixedReality Previous version needed for IRL reasons so working on new map After my previous Mixed Reality of South Auckland had to be put to one side for IRL reasons (yes as a Spatial Planner I use Cities Skylines as a communication device for work) I started a new map with new objectives or gameplay. A scene is a focal point of a City you can go back to when either demonstrating something or just want somewhere to go when not Take 2 in doing a Mixed Reality Creation of South Auckland. I usually upload both the RAW version for those wanting the entire run through of a city building session, as well as snippets highlighting specific elements like Adding Scenes both Quick and Comprehensive in #CitiesSkylinesĭivided Highways and Toll Plazas – all about adding the scenes From time to time I like to add scenes to my Mixed Reality city creations in Cities Skylines. Going to try BRT’s again After a break I am slowing getting back into streaming and creating Cities Skylines content using Neo South Auckland as my current example. Long (Raw) Playthrough of Neo South Auckland, Establish Bus Rapid Transit Infrastructure to Support Riccarton Centre.

Note: I use Real Time Mod which simulates the full day/night cycle and includes the rush hours, shopping, events, and shift work effects upon a City. In this post I go through some medium and advanced play throughs in using some extended tools to help fine tune your City as well as giving it more realism. The point being that six lane roads and motorways are not and should not be the go to fix – PUBLIC AUTHORITIES TAKE NOTE. That said from time to time a major overhaul might be needed but that is for another day. The good news is that most fixes you come upon are not major and can be done very quickly and cheaply. This means regular check ups across the City to make sure the transport and transit systems are working as optimally as they should. Once you have settled into the basic mechanics of Cities Skylines with a functioning transport system, the zones nicely laid out and the civic infrastructure all working does the fun really begin.Īs the city gets larger it gets more complex as an organism especially if playing modded as I do.
