Description

About this episode:

Today we are trying to create a smooth transition from the suburb "Lausanne" to the agricultural area. For good results we need loads and loads of the ploppable fields from the workshop. Most of them actually work, but some are lacking road connections, therefore these are just for aesthetics.

Additionally to the farms, we need a solution to export our surplus of agricultural goods. Hence we also build a nicely detailed freight terminal, surrounded by grain silos and greenhouses.

About the series:

The topic of this series is about creating a quite extensive city-/landscape representing an area somewhere in Central Europe. We start with some smaller villages, located in the valleys of the map and from there we slowly start to work round to the "capital city " (Verville). The reason for this approach is quite simple. Since this is only my fourth city in Cities: Skylines, I still need improve my skills quite drastically, especially regarding to what other CS-Youtubers put out there.

The environment we try to represent is strongly influenced by Switzerland, since that’s what I’m most familiar with. Therefore, we’ll need to provide a conclusive mass transit system, with a massive central station in the (not so) near future. We also need to pay attention to the strict policies about preserving the historical townscape.

Author’s comment:

I think it's quite hard to grasp, but this episode was the footage of approximately 40 to 50 hours recording. I cut it quite a bit, since it's mostly about plopping fields and trees. The main goal was, to create an area, that looks really realistic, especially from above. And since I'm planning to record some really nice first person shots, as well as a short cinematics episode, I think it was totally worth it. Hope you enjoyed!
