Cities: Skylines @lemmy.ml njordomir @lemmy.world How would you describe your average city build? What are the key signs that a city was built by you?
Like may people, I enjoy watching other people play online and before streaming I used to do mayor's diaries (basically a city blog) with the Sim City 4 community. When I look at my cities over time a few trends emerge.
I'm curious what characterizes your cities? What are the giveaway brush-strokes showing a city was painted by you?
- Full city trail systems. It's amazing how far cims will walk.
- Colliding grids, I build urban and big, but I like to let smaller towns grow together over time. This resulting in misaligned grids and some "signature" streets with cool intersections.
- Promenades, as an Urbanist, I'm almost always playing with the goal of maximizing transit/bike/ped travel while getting rid of cars and keeping trucks out of residential areas. There's almost always some grand pedestrian oval or linear park in my cities.

Cities: Skylines @lemmy.ml njordomir @lemmy.world Ore Industry
I can't take credit for the scenery since I downloaded the map, but it's been quite inspirational. This spot seemed perfect for a mining area. The mining industry looks like it flattened out this portion of the hill and is continuing to cut out of the mountainside while the river creates a steep cliff giving a great view of the rocky hillside. It supports 2 bus lines from the two nearest railway stations that bring the workers up the mountainside.

Cities: Skylines @lemmy.ml legamins @leminal.space Cims are travelling from all around the city to visit this school football field. Why??
I don't understand why cims are massive travelling from all over the city to visit this school football field... At least I'm getting a lot of money from the train tickets.

Cities: Skylines @lemmy.ml njordomir @lemmy.world University or Tech Cluster?
I ended up with a dense mostly pedestrianized, tram-centric core which is just off to the right. It looks great on ground level, but I still have some detailing to do before I share. The low-density neighborhoods out of frame in the north are currently getting some well-deserved detailing. I'm not sure what to put to the left of the station, the area is a bit of a dead end but has an excellent train, tram, and bus connections. I imagine I could fit either a small university or a tech cluster with a park. What do you reserve your best-connected areas for?

Cities: Skylines @lemmy.ml njordomir @lemmy.world Shift Change at the Lumber Collective
I built this little bus stop near the entrance of a lumber co-op using whatever props, decals, plants and stuff I'm subscribed to. I just happened to catch it when both shuttles were there, people where crossing the road, and a truck was turning onto the main road. It feels like one of those moments when the simulation and your imagination are in-sync and you can imagine walking through the game.

Cities: Skylines @lemmy.ml njordomir @lemmy.world Train Station Upgrade
Hello City Planner Nerds! It's a work in progress, but I wanted to share a station area I've been working on. It was haphazardly put together before and the new layout has bus stations on both sides, a better ped overpass, and a pedestrian area with a library, a food court, a playground, and some decent landscaping. This is a secondary station for my city and sits at the point where the main line diverges in multiple directions. The industrial area in the background will need to be reworked at some point as it is mostly gridded infill to get my RCI stable.

Cities: Skylines @lemmy.ml legamins @leminal.space What is your favourite Cities Skylines Youtuber and why?
Mine is Keralis, without doubt. I started watching it in Cities Skylines 1 when I still hadn't a pc to play it and I loved watching the detailing and city building. I really like Infrastructurist and Biffa as well. What is yours?
