Hotels & Retreats Dev Diary #2

Hello again everyone! As is tradition by now we have a free patch to compliment the release of Hotels & Retreats coming on the 23rd of May and thats what this dev diary is all about. We have some new goodies for the base game, we have some updates to existing content, and we have new content for existing expansions adding more cross-DLC content. This update brings new additions to the base game, Green Cities, Parklife, Industries, Sunset Harbor, Airports, and Plazas & Promenades - and yes, it has new trolleybus options and roads!

New Vehicles

Lets start with a look at the new vehicles in this update. Everyone who owns the base game will be able to enjoy 6 new industry vehicles and the new cargo train engine. The industry vehicles come in a variety of shapes and sizes from the extravagant pie van delivering goods to heavy trucks hauling raw materials. Like the new cargo train engine they are automatically added to the selection of vehicles that can appear in your city adding more variation to it.

Watch your cargo get delivered by the new vans, trucks, and the train engine With Green Cities, we introduced the biofuel bus depot and its buses, and with this update, were expanding the fleet with two new biofuel buses. The new biofuel bus has a slightly higher capacity than the original and can carry 40 passengers, while the articulated biofuel bus can transport up to 75 passengers making it ideal for those busy lines. Like the existing biofuel bus, they are quieter and produce less noise pollution.

Go green with one of the new biofuel bus options While were on the subject of buses, lets take a look at the new options available if you own Sunset Harbor. We have a total of 8 new buses for you to choose from with two new trolleybuses, 5 articulated trolleybuses, and a new doubledecker intercity bus to bring in more tourists! The new trolleybuses range in capacity from 26 to 90 significantly increasing the options for your lines. Additionally, we have rebalanced trolleybuses which includes making them quieter than regular buses, but more on that later in this dev diary!

The new buses are ready to service your city Before we move on from vehicles and look at what else this update includes, there is one more vehicle we need to show you: The Park Maintenance Vehicle. This vehicle is added to the game if you own Parklife and will service your parks giving them a boost to their entertainment. Who doesnt enjoy a clean and well-kept park? You can select this new version, the existing vehicle, or let the game randomly pick between the two by using the vehicle selector on the Park Maintenance Building.

The new park maintenance vehicle headed out to main the citys parks

New Roads

Next in line, we have a bunch of new roads starting with 3 new industrial roads added to Industries. They all generate more noise pollution than regular roads but in turn, theyre cheaper to build and cost your city less upkeep. The Small Four-Lane Industry Road brings those extra lanes to tight industrial areas teaming with traffic. But sometimes 4 lanes just arent enough and thats where the Large Industry Road comes in handy with its 6 lanes. Last, but not least, we have the Industry Highway offering 3 lanes in one direction as a cheaper alternative to the base game highway.

Industry roads are ideal for areas like industry districts where noise pollution is always high And of course, Sunset Harbor gets new roads to compliment the buses and bring you more flexibility in building your trolleybus lines. If you own just Sunset Harbor you will get access to 4 new roads, in the medium roads category you will find the Four-Lane Road with Trolleybus Wires and Trees, while the large roads category includes the Six-Lane Road with Median and Trolleybus Wires, which also comes with a grass median and trees.

Expand your trolleybus network with the 4 new roads Adding bicycle lanes to the mix we get 3 more roads available if you own both Sunset Harbor and After Dark. You dont have to sacrifice your dedicated bicycle lanes when adding trolleybuses to the roads, whether its small neighborhood roads or large main roads, theres an option for you to use. Both the medium and large roads have medians, with the Six-Lane Road with Median Trees, Trolleybus Wires and Bicycle Lanes adding a green touch to the road.

Combine trolleybuses and bicycle lanes to provide more green transport options in your city If youre looking to integrate trolleybuses into your pedestrian areas, we have you covered. When you have both Sunset Harbor and Plazas & Promenades installed, you get access to these 6 new pedestrian streets with trolleybus wires. They include both sides and all three styles you have come to know, and the bus lanes allow both regular buses and trolleybuses to use them. Trolleybus roads have also been improved to be able to intersect with roads with tram wires, making it easy to include both tram and trolleybuses in your pedestrian areas without needing elaborate intersections where they cross paths.

No need to choose between trolleybuses or trams as the pedestrian streets can intersect

New Buildings & Decorations

This update isnt all roads and vehicles though - we already did that one - it includes a selection of new buildings and decorations for you to enjoy. As part of the base game, we have 3 new trees: Silver Birch, Norway Spruce, and Large Scrub. If you spend time in the asset editor you may also enjoy the two new hedge props available to decorate any buildings.

Bring nature into your city with the new trees and hedge props Green Cities gets a new power plant, the Advanced Coal Power Plant, which is available from the start offering a less polluting alternative to the existing Coal Power Plant. While this plant doesnt provide clean energy and comes at a higher cost, it produces more energy than the regular Coal Power Plant making it a great option to reduce pollution while still being able to supply a starting city.

The Advanced Coal Power Plant offers a less polluting alternative to coal power For Parklife, we have 3 new buildings, one for amusement parks, one for zoos, and one for nature reserves. Give your citizens a new thrill with the Log Ride, educate your citizens about tarsiers with your city zoos new Tarsier House, or preserve the local cultural history with the Nature Reserve Museum. Each park building adds to the entertainment of the park area theyre used in or they can be used as standalone parks placed alongside a road.

The Tarsier House (left), Log Ride (middle), and Nature Reserve Museum (right) are sure to be a hit with tourists If you have Industries you will notice a new warehouse in your menu, the Warehouse with Railway Connection. It functions like a regular warehouse but is able to ship and receive goods directly via your citys rail network, making it ideal for areas needing to import or export industrial or commercial goods. Its capacity sits between the Medium Warehouse and the Large Warehouse with 600 tons of storage space.

Storage and a rail connection combined to save space and truck traffic If you have both Industries and Sunset Harbor you will find a new unique factory, the Seafood Factory, combining fish and plastics to provide your citizens with delicious fermented fish in easy-to-open plastic containers. Additionally, your warehouses are now able to store fish making the production of fish-related products more convenient.

Combine fish and plastic to produce seafood goods for your city Airports gets two new decorative concrete aprons, a large and a small one, which can be placed almost anywhere! They snap to networks and block zoning tiles, but they can overlap with both networks and most buildings, making them perfect for filling in spaces between your aircraft stands, hangars, parked planes - or anywhere in your city you want a paved area. We have made these as flexible as possible and we look forward to seeing the uses you come up with!

Add paved areas to your airports or anywhere in the city Lastly, we have two new variations for the Small Fountain Plaza and the Flower Plaza from Plazas & Promenades. Where they previously only had one type of stone available, they now come in sandstone, bluestone, and cobblestone matching your pedestrian streets and the Large Fountain Plaza for even more variation when decorating your city. When placed they select a random variation, but you can change it to your favorite using the submesh variation selector on the building info panel.

Which type of stone is your favorite?

Improvements

Were nearing the end of this dev diary, but before we get there we have a few improvements to go through. Last update we rebalanced the cost of transport vehicles to benefit from the variations in capacity, and for this update, we wanted to address your feedback on trolleybuses and improve their viability as a transportation option. This resulted in the following changes:

Reduced the noise pollution of trolleybuses
Reduced the cost per vehicle for trolleybuses
Reduced the cost and upkeep of roads with trolleybus wires slightly

We hope these changes and the additional trolleybus vehicles and roads will make them more useful in your cities! But trolleybuses arent the only transport vehicles getting an update. Following Hubs & Transports, weve taken a look at the capacity of ferries and agree they should be able to transport more passengers, so all ferries have their capacity increased by 30, meaning they now range from 40 to 80 passengers. Last on our list of balance changes are parks. While Hotels & Retreats add new tourism buildings to benefit your hotels, we wanted to make sure the original base game parks were still viable choices. Some of them were quite large or costly without providing similarly increased benefits. Those parks have had their cost, upkeep, entertainment, entertainment radius, and amount of visitors adjusted bringing the underperforming parks up to a level with the rest. For road-building, we have a new quality-of-life tool allowing you to control the zoning grid on roads with zoning. You can cycle through the different options of zoning on both sides, zoning only on the left, zoning only on the right, or no zoning at all, using the new Toggle Zoning button next to the existing road tools. You can select your preferred zoning when first building a road or change the zoning later on using the upgrade tool.

Toggle zoning on both sides, one side, or off And with that, we have reached the end of the dev diary! This update and Hotels & Retreats will be available on the 23rd of May, and you can find the patch notes listing all the content, improvements, and bug fixes below. As we were not able to include all the bug fixes we planned in this update, we will have another small update fixing some bugs after this, the date of which is still to be determined. Until then we hope you enjoy this update and look forward to seeing how you use the new additions in your cities! --------------------------------------------------

Hotels & Retreats Dev Diary #1

Hello everyone and welcome to todays dev diary where we explore the features coming to Cities: Skylines in the mini-expansion Hotels & Retreats! It brings a new customizable hotel chain to the game letting your city capitalize on tourism and organize events at your premium hotels. Hotels & Retreats will be available on PC and console on the 23rd of May. We have lots of new content to cover, so lets get started!

Hotels & Tourists

Hotels unlock when you reach Milestone 3: Tiny Town and can be found in the new Hotels tab under Parks & Plazas. You start out with 3 different 1-star hotels, but as your hotel chain becomes more successful you unlock new hotels with higher ratings all the way up to 5-star luxury hotels, which can host events.

Invite tourists to stay at the Budget Hotel (left), the Mountain Lodge (middle), or the Luxury Hotel (right) Before placing your first hotel we need to talk about tourists and location. With Hotels & Retreats, tourists fall into one of four categories: Sightseeing Tourists visit the city to see the sights seeking out unique buildings and parks during their stay. Shopping Tourists are here for your citys shopping opportunities and look for commercial zones to visit. Business Tourists do not visit for pleasure, theyre in your city for work and have business to attend to at offices. And last, but not least we have Nature Tourists who prefer to stay away from the busy city and enjoy the natural scenery your city has to offer. How much a hotel appeals to each group of tourists depends both on the hotel itself and where in the city its placed. The tooltip of a hotel shows how much (if at all) a hotel can appeal to these groups, while the surroundings you place it in will fill up each bar accordingly. The new Hotel Locations Infoviews will help you find the perfect location for your hotel showing a heat map for each of the four categories. When you select a hotel the Infoview is automatically opened showing the hotels highest potential category, but for the optimal location, you can cycle through each category and choose a spot with the best overlap. You can also give the overall popularity rating a boost by placing public transport nearby, making sure there is little to no crime in the area, and avoiding areas with heavy pollution.

Find the perfect spot for your new hotels Once placed you can select the hotel to see how much it appeals to each group of tourists, its overall popularity rating, and how profitable it is. You can also adjust the price per night depending on how well your hotel is doing. Lowering the price will make it more appealing to tourists even if the popularity rating is less than ideal, while you can charge a higher price for very attractive locations. Hotel expenses stay the same regardless of how many guests are staying the night, so the key to a profitable hotel is filling up those rooms!

Improve the surrounding area to increase the hotels popularity rating

Running a hotel chain

Youve found a good location and built your first hotel. Time to turn this into a chain and grow the citys tourism! The hotel chain is automatically created with a default name and logo, which can be customized in the Hotel Management interface. You can find this through the Manage Hotels button found on all hotel interfaces or through the Hotel Locations Infoview. You can name your hotel chain anything, select one of 7 logos to use, and customize the color of both the logo and your hotels. The Hotel Management interface also provides an overview of all your hotels, their popularity, amount of guests staying there at the moment, and how profitable they are. You can sort them by popularity to increase the price of your most popular ones or sort them by profit to improve any which are struggling. At the bottom, you will find information about your hotel chains overall star rating and the requirements to reach the next level.

Manage and customize your hotel chain through the Hotel Management interface When your hotel chain reaches 5 stars you unlock 3 different 5-star hotels: the Heritage Hotel, the Deluxe Hotel, and the Design Hotel, which can all host events. Each hotel specializes in different event types with a total of 9 events to choose from across them all. Events are selected and started on the hotels interface and have 3 phases. The longest phase is the preparation phase where news of the hotel event is spreading and tourists plan their trip to the event. The active phase lasts a few days to a week as the event is ongoing, and its followed by the disorganization phase as things return to business as usual for the hotel. When selecting an event you will see the cost to host the event, how long the active phase is, and how much it increases tourism. The tourism boost is applied when you start the event so your city benefits from it during the preparation phase as well as the active phase.

Boost your citys tourism with events at your 5-star hotels

Bring in tourists

While hotels give tourists a place to stay in your city allowing them to extend their visits, the city itself needs to appeal to tourists for them to visit. The Tourism Infoview shows the City Attractiveness, which is calculated from citizen happiness, land value, and unique buildings in the city. The higher City Attractiveness, the more tourists will visit the city, so if your hotel chain is struggling you can increase the City Attractiveness to encourage more tourists to stay at your hotels. One way to do this is by raising the land value through more parks and plazas, and Hotels & Retreats includes 8 new parks found in the Tourism & Leisure tab under Parks & Plazas. The Tiny Park or Tiny Playground live up to their names and fit in most places, while the larger Pond Park and Sidewalk Restaurant require more space and provide more entertainment. The new parks can be found easily using the menu filter and can be used to spruce up any part of your city.

Tourists and citizens alike will enjoy the new tourism buildings

New maps

As with any expansion we of course have new maps for you to create your dream city. Hotels & Retreats come with 5 new maps featuring a variety of landscapes. Coastal Flatlands lives up to its name as a mostly flat landscape dotted with hills, rivers, and lakes which provide ample opportunities to attract nature tourists. The beautiful coastline makes this map ideal for a waterfront city frequented by cruise ships.

Coastal Flatlands offers plenty of space for your new city Emerald Cliffs is a European map with a bay stretching far inland and cliffs towering above the landscape and providing incredible scenery for any city. It offers great connections to the sea and lots of fertile land, while the mountainous areas are rich in ore. Will you build a city focused on tourism or take advantage of the natural resources the land has to offer? Either way, Emerald Cliffs has much to offer any city.

What kind of city will you build at Emerald Cliffs? Next, we have our second European map, Maze Valley, a canyon carved into the landscape through eons. The rivers flowing through the canyon are surrounded by large plains ideal for a new city nestled between the cliffs. But your city doesnt have to be a gem hidden from the world with a shipping lane running through the rivers and a train line connecting you to other cities, there are many ways to bring goods and tourists to your city.

Build a thriving metropolis in the secluded Maze Valley Shifting Sands takes us to the tropics at the edge of the desert where the river flows into a large bay. The lush green areas surrounding the water create a stunning contrast to the barren rocky desert and the mountains on the horizon. If youre looking to build an industry-focused city then Shifting Sands provides plenty of ore and oil to benefit your city while the bay offers great shipping connections. The flat landscape also provides the perfect conditions for a bustling metropolis.

Shifting Sands is the perfect location for your next desert city We finish our map tour with another European map named Weaving Waters, a map split by a serpentine river and filled with historical sites. The vast forests covering the landscape are ideal for nature retreats or forestry depending on your city. Connect your city to the outside world through the highways or railroad, or take advantage of the flat areas to build an airport. Whether you plan to embrace the landscape or make room for your city, this map has a lot to offer.

Create your dream city along the shores of the river at Weaving Waters This brings us to the end of this dev diary covering the new content in Hotels & Retreats. Like always we have a free patch coming alongside the mini-expansion, which we will cover in the dev diary Friday at 4:00 PM CEST. What are you most excited about in Hotels & Retreats? Do you have any areas in your city ideal for hotels? Wed love to hear your thoughts!

Hubs & Transport Dev Diary #2

Ready for more content? Today we have a look at the 2nd half of the free update Hubs & Transports, which will be available tomorrow. Yesterday we covered the new transport options being added to the base game as well as After Dark, Snowfall, Natural Disasters, and Mass Transit, but today is all about the base game and Natural Disasters. So lets start unpacking the gift bag! For anyone with Natural Disasters, we have a set of higher capacity helicopter depots. Whether you play with random disasters enabled or not helicopter services offer a quick way to reach remote or difficult-to-get-to areas of the city. With Hubs & Transports, you will have access to higher capacity depots for fire, police, and medical services, as well as a new Disaster Response Air Base, all with significantly more helicopters ready to respond to your citys needs bypassing any terrain obstacles or traffic jams.
The new helicopter depots can be found in their respective service menu.

New Decorations

Next up we have a series of new decorations for your city, which you may have spotted in the screenshots yesterday. Parking lots have been a popular request and we have three decorative parking lots as our gift to you! Both the Small and Large Decorative Parking Lots can be placed side-by-side to create a large area filled with parking spots, or you can save space with the Multistory Decorative Parking Lot which comes in 2 variations. These are all available to everyone who owns the base game and will automatically be added to your game in the patch tomorrow.

Beautify your cities with the new decorative parking lots. The Landscaping menu has 7 new items which do not require any expansions - as long as you have the base game, you will get these too. The new Suburban Fence offers a decorative option for your neighborhoods or parks, while the new City Quay brings new life to your waterfronts - the trees can of course be replaced with your favorites like on roads. And speaking of trees, MrMaison has done it again and added 5 additional trees to the official collection with several species native to Africa in celebration of the Cities: Skylines World Tour.

Give your cities a unique look with the new decorative options. And, as the icing on the cake, we have a special plaza to commemorate Cities: Skylines' 8-year anniversary: The Birthday Plaza. This decorative plaza offers a place for your citizens to gather and celebrate Cities: Skylines, providing entertainment to the surrounding area. And it of course has a giant cake so theres enough for all your citizens to grab a slice.

What better way to celebrate than with a giant cake?

New Options & Improvements

A free patch is a great opportunity for us to add quality-of-life options and improve on existing content, and Hubs & Transport is no different. The first of these improvements is new filters in 3 menus: Roads, Public Transport Hubs, and Content Creator Packs under Unique Buildings. In the Roads menu, you can filter all your roads by one-way or two-way, by decorations, or only display roads including public transport lanes - a great way to find the new roads added by Hubs & Transport! Similarly, Public Transport Hubs have a filter for each transport type, which can be enabled or disabled. Looking for a hub that combines metro and trams? Just select the metro and tram filters and you will see hubs that feature both these options! And last but not least the Content Creator Pack tab under Unique Buildings has filters for each pack, so you can jump directly to the buildings you want to browse.

Filters help narrow down the options when browsing. However, filters are not the only new option to help you find a specific item, we have also added a search function to all menus. Simply click the magnifying glass to open it and type anything. The search is applied to the entire menu, for example searching bicycle in the Roads menu will display all roads with bicycle in their name, regardless of how small or large they are. No need to dig through each tab to find the item youre looking for! Another place you can search is when loading a save, so if you have a LOT of savegames finding the right one is about to get a whole lot easier!

Search for asset names in a category to find what you are looking for. Roads & Vehicles expanded the options for public transport vehicles quite a bit and with the new vehicles in Hubs & Transport, we take that one step further. As a result, we decided to rebalance the vehicle upkeep costs to account for the new passenger capacity options. Instead of a flat upkeep per vehicle, the cost of a transport vehicle now has a base cost and a multiplier for passenger capacity. This means vehicles carrying only a few passengers are cheaper than ones with higher capacity, and selecting the high-capacity options for busy lines is cheaper than having many more low-capacity vehicles. All in all, this means optimizing transport vehicles for weekly passengers doesnt just make your lines more efficient, it also makes them cheaper to run. We also improved the forest fire spread mechanic in Natural Disasters. If youve ever had a forest fire spread out of control in your city, these changes will give you a better chance to respond to the fires and limit the spread. The changes include the following improvements:

Forest fires have a noticeably lower chance of spreading
Forest fires burn with slightly less intensity
Fire helicopters can carry twice as much water
Fire helicopters can put out fires faster

Forest fires can still be devastating to the city if your city lacks fire helicopters. And now, to the last item in our goodie bag! In 1.16.0 we added the option to select specific submesh variations for most ploppable buildings. With Hubs & Transport, were expanding this selection to growable buildings. This option is automatically available on growables that use the random submesh feature, whether theyre official buildings or from the workshop, and lets you choose between the different options. If you have a particular mural from Plazas & Promenades you love, you can now select it for your Wall-to-Wall specialization buildings.

Variations are selectable for growables using the submesh variations system. That leaves us with just one thing to cover: The patch notes, which can be found here. Thanks to your diligent bug reports we have a long list of over 65 bug fixes along with improvements and, of course, a list of all the new content. We hope you will enjoy these new additions and improvements.

Hubs & Transport Dev Diary #1

Greetings city-builder. To celebrate Cities: Skylines turning 8 years and to give the game the send-off you deserve, we have another free patch full of presents for you and Im excited to show you everything Hubs & Transport has to offer! The patch brings new content to the base game as well as After Dark, Snowfall, Natural Disasters, and Mass Transit, all available automatically on the 22nd of March. As the name suggests this update is focused on expanding the existing transport options with new public transport hubs, new public transport vehicles, new roads, and much more! We also have a few quality-of-life updates, but more on those tomorrow. Lets have a look at what transport additions are coming your way!

New Transport Hubs

There are 9 new transport hubs in total allowing for multiple lines and, in some cases, mixing different transport methods so your citizens can easily transfer. For everyone who owns the base game, we have a new Harbor-Bus Hub for the busy tourist harbors and a Multi-level Metro Hub for your citys metro. The harbor is larger than the existing one and has room for 2 cruise ships to dock at once as well as 5 bus stops to get your tourists into the city. And as you may have already guessed from the name, the Multi-level Metro Hub combines underground, ground level, and elevated metro in one building.

Bring in tourists with the Harbor-Bus Hub (left) and expand your metro system with the Multi-level Metro Hub (right). If you own Snowfall we have 2 new hubs with built-in tram stops. Combine your tram and metro network with the Metro-Tram Hub with Road which offers a central platform and access to the underground metro - perfect for all the roads with central tram lanes. Snowfall owners can also benefit from the Bus-Train-Tram Hub with an elevated train track, a ground-level tram stop, and no less than 8 bus stops to choose from. A great option for transferring many passengers!

Tram hubs are a new addition to the game and make it easier to combine trams with other transport options. In addition to its existing hubs Mass Transit gets 2 new harbors. First up we have the Harbor-Ferry Hub which lets you integrate your ferry lines directly into your harbor. No need for tourists or citizens to walk between buildings when transferring from one to the other! But theres more - the large Harbor-Bus-Monorail Hub combines cruise ships and bus lines with the citys monorail system. Like the Harbor-Bus Hub, it has room for 2 cruise ships and 5 bus stops with the addition of 2 stops for the monorail.

Expand your harbors with the Harbor-Ferry Hub (left) or the Harbor-Bus-Monorail Hub (right). When you own both Snowfall and Mass Transit, you get 3 additional hub options. The Ferry-Tram Hub expands your options with a tram stop right at the ferry allowing for easy transfers. Continuing your tram line further inland you have the option to combine it with the monorail through the Monorail-Tram Hub with Road. With its 6-lane road underneath the monorail stops its ideal for busy parts of the city. And last but definitely not least we have the Metro-Train-Monorail-Tram Hub with Road. This large hub offers both elevated and ground-level metro and train stops, 2 monorail stops, and 2 tram stops making it an ideal hub for combining your many public transport lines.

Combine your favorite transport options from Mass Transit and Snowfall with these new hubs.

New Roads

As you can imagine from the hubs we just looked at, you are going to need some new roads to go along with them - 15 in total to be specific! But before we dive into the ones that combine multiple expansions, lets first have a look at which roads will be added for everyone who owns the base game. We have a Three-Lane One-Way Road with Bus Lane for you which fits perfectly with any bus network or the Airports terminals using a similar road. If youre a fan of wide sidewalks we have three new medium roads with four lanes and wide sidewalks - with or without grass and trees!

Reduce car usage and dedicate more space to pedestrians and buses with these new roads. Mass Transit gets 9 new roads with new highway options, new asymmetrical roads, and of course more monorail roads. The new highways let you expand your two-way highways with the new Asymmetrical Three-Lane Highway and the Four-Lane Two-Way Highway. Both of these come with or without sound barriers like other highway roads. Asymmetrical roads are not just for highways though, we also have both a medium and a large asymmetrical road for you with 5 and 7 lanes. For your citys monorail, we have 3 new roads bringing more options and more lanes to your city. Monorail Tracks on Four-Lane Road with Trees compliments the existing medium road with monorail tracks and lets you bring more greenery to the roads. But if 4 lanes arent enough we have the option of Monorail Tracks on Six-Lane Road which also comes as a tree-lined version.

Customize your roads further with the new highways (left), asymmetrical roads (middle) and monorail roads (right). For those hubs combining tram and monorail, you will need some roads which do the same. When you own both Snowfall and Mass Transit you get 2 additional roads that do this. Monorail Tracks on Two-Lane Road with Tram Tracks can be found in the small roads menu or in both the Tram and Monorail public transport menus. But 2 lanes dont always cut it so we have the large road Monorail Tracks on Six-Lane Road with Tram Tracks for the busy parts of the city.

Expand your public transport network further with combined tram and monorail roads.

New Vehicles

Hubs & Transport is a great opportunity for us to bring you new vehicles to celebrate the amazing 8 years we have had together with Cities: Skylines. Do you remember when the metro only ran underground? Since then metro was expanded to above ground, and we think that warrants more options for metro trains. If you own the base game you will have 6 new options for metros with varying capacities ranging from 120 to 500 for those extra busy lines! Two of the metros come in both a short and long version giving you more flexibility in the same style.

The new metros all display the line color which can be changed in the line interface. Metros arent the only new base game vehicles though, we also have a new train option. It carries 240 passengers like our previous trains but offers a new look for you to enjoy. It can bring in tourists from outside connections or you can select it for any of your train lines that need a little something new to distinguish them from other lines.

The new train is on its journey past the suburbs. I mentioned After Dark at the start, and while the expansion got a lot of love in Roads & Vehicles, there is one thing it didnt get: A new taxi vehicle. With Hubs & Transport, were adding the Black Taxi Cab for everyone who owns After Dark. Natural Disasters fans also get a new vehicle in the form of the Articulated Evacuation Bus which is able to carry 100 citizens to a shelter when disaster strikes the city.

The Black Taxi Cab is available if you own After Dark while the Articulated Evacuation Bus is available for anyone with Natural Disasters installed. But wait, were not quite done! With the new options for Mass Transit we of course need new vehicles too. Were adding 2 new monorail vehicles able to transport 120 and 240 passengers, and 4 new ferries with capacities ranging from 10 to 40. The new ferries all have a lower profile than the original ferries making them ideal for fitting under low bridges - perfect for low bridges in a canal city!

Customize your ferry or monorail lines with the new vehicle options. Thats all the presents we had for you today, but this is not all the content coming in Hubs & Transports. Tomorrow at 4 PM CET we continue celebrating Cities: Skylines turning 8 years old with a look at new decorations, options, and improvements. Stay tuned!

Financial Districts Dev Diary #2

Greetings city-builders! Financial Districts is almost here, and that means its time for not only the patch notes but also the goodies we have for you in the free patch. While not as packed full of new content as the Roads & Vehicles update last month, we have a few new additions we hope you will enjoy. Lets start with the new visual options: the addition of 6 new Color Corrections. These can be found in Options under Graphics and tweak the colors and brightness of the game. Want your temperate city to have a colder look? Maybe more vibrant blues and greens in your tropical city? Or maybe you prefer more muted colors to capture the right vibe. We hope one of the new options provides perfect the look and feel for your city.
The new options include Cold, Dark, Faded, Neutral, Vibrant, and Warm Each map theme has unique lighting which affects the final look when a Color Correction is applied, meaning your temperate city will still look different from a boreal city when using the same Color Correction. This allows for many different looks for different cities, and we hope this will encourage you to try the new options. Below you can see a few examples of different cities using the new Color Corrections.
Boreal with Faded (right), Tropical with Cold (middle), and Temperate with Neutral (left) While Color Corrections affect the look of your city as a whole, this next addition brings more variation to the streets of your city. Weve added more color variations for our citizens and 5 new pet options for your citizens to adopt - time to disable that Pet Ban policy! Besides two new very good dogs we have 3 new cats which can be seen around the city.
Meet your new fluffy residents Sticking with the theme of variations we have added a way to select your favorite submesh variation for ploppable buildings. As the submesh variations are still quite a new addition to the game, this doesnt affect many buildings, but if you have placed the Large Fountain Plaza from Plazas & Promenades multiple times to get the version you want, youll find this new option handy! The dropdown menu also appears on the Large Bank, which has 3 different glass roof options to choose from.
The dropdown is automatically available on ploppable buildings with submesh variations We also have a number of bug fixes which can be found in the patch notes below, however, this does not address all the issues you have reported to us. We are still investigating a number of reports, and we will have more patches in the future with additional bug fixes. In the meantime, we thank you for your patience and hope you will continue reporting issues you encounter on our Bug & Support forum.

Financial Districts Dev Diary #1

Greetings mayors, or should I say, investors? Today we're taking a look at Financial Districts, a mini-expansion for Cities: Skylines arriving on the 13th of December. It brings new financial opportunities to your city such as investing in city services, providing banks for your citizens, and building up your central business district with the new Financial Offices specialization.

The Stock Exchange

The Stock Exchange is central to Financial Districts, it functions as the citys financial hub unlocking both investments and banks and can be found in the new Financial Buildings tab under Unique Buildings after reaching Milestone 6: Big Town. But the Stock Exchange is more than just a unique building to increase your citys attractiveness, it provides a tax bonus to any surrounding buildings of the new Financial Offices specialization, and it can be upgraded to increase the bonus and unlock more buildings.

Grow your investments to level up your Stock Exchange As you earn money from buying and selling investments, you are able to upgrade the Stock Exchange to the next level. Each level unlocks more buildings, like new plazas and bank buildings, and it increases both the tax bonus from Financial Offices and the radius of the effect. While you can also lose money due to bad investments this does not subtract from the progress toward the next level - we felt the money lost was punishing enough.

Select the Stock Exchange to upgrade it once you reach the next level When your Stock Exchange reaches level 5 you are able to construct the International Trade Building which provides a similar tax bonus to the Stock Exchange allowing you to collect an increased tax from even more Financial Offices. However, the International Trade Building cannot level up, and as only the highest bonus is applied, there is no benefit to overlapping the area effects, so placing it strategically can maximize the number of offices paying an increased tax.

Combine with Financial Offices to benefit from the tax bonus provided by the International Trade Building

Investments

Investments offer a new opportunity to earn money for your city, but they carry a certain amount of risk too. You may be able to grow the citys funds for a new district or interchange, but while the money is tied up in investments, you are unable to spend them if your city experiences an emergency - and that emergency may very well cause stock prices to drop! Whether you invest in your citys healthcare or Greasy Gasoline Inc., the stock market is tied to the simulation and what happens in your city - for better or worse. With a Stock Exchange in your city, you gain access to a new panel in the Economy interface listing all possible investments and what is required to unlock them. This is also where you invest in stocks, follow their progress, and hopefully, sell them for a profit. On your left, you have available investments, and on the right, you have any stocks you own and how much you stand to gain or lose by selling them. You can hover over an investment to see the recent developments in price to decide if now is a good time to buy or sell, and you select how many stocks you want to buy or sell using the slider.

The Investments panel can be opened from the Budget menu or the Stock Exchange Each investment carries a different risk and different potential for success, so choose wisely. If your production chain runs smoothly industries are fairly predictable, but factories shutting down due to a lack of raw materials or flooding will hurt the stock prices. Similarly, when you invest in city services their productivity affects the stock price, so make sure they arent having issues and are servicing your citizens.

Banks & Financial Offices

Banks are a new service that can be found in the updated Police category, called Police & Banks for everyone who owns Financial Districts (without the DLC its still the good old Police category). They provide a cash transport service for commercial buildings sending out Cash Transfer Vans to collect money, which is stored for safekeeping at the bank. As a result, commercial buildings services by banks have a reduced risk of crime happening. Banks come in 3 different sizes, the first one unlocking when the Stock Exchange reaches level 2, with larger options unlocking as the Stock Exchange reaches even higher levels. Larger banks have more Cash Transfer Vans available and can service more commercial buildings keeping your city safer.

Provide good bank coverage for your commercial buildings to reduce crime Now, lets have a look at the new district specialization which lends its name to the expansion itself: Financial Offices. Like existing specializations, its applied to a district and changes not only the look of the office buildings but also how they work. Financial offices pay a higher tax than regular offices, but at the cost of lower happiness. And let us not forget that they benefit from proximity to both the Stock Exchange and the International Trade Building, increasing your tax income further. The financial office specialization also has a unique way of upgrading. Instead of upgrading to any bigger and better versions, the office buildings retain their original structure and expand upwards with modern glass extensions - similar to how the Stock Exchange changes appearance as it is upgraded, except this process happens automatically as your office buildings reach new levels.

Financial Offices mix old and modern building designs

New Maps

Financial Districts also comes with 5 new maps featuring a variety of new landscapes ready for your dream city. We hope you enjoy them and we look forward to seeing the amazing new cities you will build on these maps! We start with a familiar - to us - looking boreal map named Gray Waters, which is inspired by the Finnish lakeland region. The map features many islands of varying sizes and vast forests surrounded by lots of water. Whether your city will take advantage of the natural resources, use the waters for fishing or travel, or simply enjoy the higher land value that comes with waterfront property, Gray Waters is the perfect place for a new city.

Everyone gets a view of the water in Gray Waters Narrow Passage is a temperate map with a natural land bridge linking two large land masses together offering plenty of room for a new metropolis. The lowlands provide lots of fertile land, while the mountains are rich in ore deposits, however, the narrow passage lending its name to the map may prove a challenge when managing traffic in the region.

Narrow Passage is perfect for a twin city project We head to colder climates again with our second boreal map, River Terrace, which is situated on a large river with great shipping connections. Whether you build your city on the islands or expand towards the mainland, River Terrace lives up to its name with large hills and natural terraces lifting any skyline.

Let your city tower over the river at River Terrace Next up is the beautiful Windblown Coast, where the desert meets the ocean. This tropical map is dotted with oases, is rich in oil, and offers great expanses to build a thriving metropolis along the coast or between the mountains. Off the coast, you will find several artificial islands, which can be turned into tourist destinations or unique neighborhoods. Either way, Windblown Coast offers a unique landscape for your new city.

Take your next city to the desert of Windblown Coast And last we have the second tropical map of Wyvern Pass, featuring meandering rivers flowing through deep canyons above which you will find rich tropical forests. Will your city cross the dive or leave one side of the canyon untamed? Will you take advantage of the lowlands along the river or the precious ore in the ground? Only time will tell what kind of cities will develop here!

The distinct landscape of Wyvern Pass provides a new great opportunity With that, we have reached the end of this dev diary. We hope you enjoyed this look at the new features coming in Financial Districts, which releases on the 13th of December. Were excited to see how it will be incorporated into your cities and hear about your adventures in investments. As always, we have a free update coming alongside the expansion, which contains a few new goodies and bug fixes - more on that Monday the 12th!

Roads & Vehicles Dev Diary

Greetings mayors! Im delighted to present our free content update, Roads & Vehicles, coming on the 15th of November! As the name suggests, it includes new roads and vehicles, not just for the base game, but for several DLCs as well - including cross-DLC roads! Yes, we have pedestrian streets with trams for you, and much more! Previously, we havent included content that uses features from more than one expansion. This has meant not including some options, like pedestrian streets with trams, but it has also meant that no matter what DLCs you might have, you would have access to all content when purchasing a new expansion. But we see the cool ideas and suggestions you have, and we have wanted a way to add cross-DLC content. The Roads & Vehicles update is our first step to include some of these ideas and focuses on the base game, After Dark, Snowfall, and Plazas & Promenades content.

New Vehicles

Lets dive into the new content starting with vehicles! The update adds 20 new vehicles to the game: 8 new buses for everyone who owns the base game, and 12 new trams for Snowfall owners, all in different styles and with different capacities. If youve played our previous games, Cities In Motion in particular, you may find these new vehicles familiar. They certainly bring out some fond memories for us, and were excited to see them in all your cities!

The new buses include both double-deckers and articulated buses I love using the new bus and tram options in my city! Instead of increasing the budget for busy lines, I switch to higher capacity options to transport all my passengers, resulting in fewer vehicles on the roads. My bus lines can transport up to 80 passengers per vehicle, while tram lines can reach 140 passengers! But size isnt everything, I adore the tiny tram that holds just 65 passengers, and the older bus styles just look so perfect for the lines reaching villages or industrial areas of my city.

The new fleet of trams offers much more variety for your transport lines

New Roads

In the roads category we have 25 new additions tied to After Dark, Snowfall, and Plazas & Promenades expanding the options for roads with bicycle lanes, trams, and pedestrian streets. To give you an overview of which roads are available with each expansion, well go through them in groups, starting with After Dark. After Dark added cyclists and roads with bicycle lanes offering pedestrians a faster way to travel without needing a car or public transport. The 7 new bicycle roads expand the existing options and are available to anyone who owns After Dark. Im particularly fond of using the Four-Lane Road with Decorative Trees and Bicycle Lanes and have been replacing a lot of my existing four-lane roads with it - and if you need more lanes theres a six-lane version of it as well!

Give the cyclists of your city room to roam the roads If you own Snowfall you will have 8 new tram roads to choose from when building your cities, featuring both dedicated and shared lanes! Im a big fan of the Four-Lane Road with Tram Tracks and Trees for the extra greenery in the city and of course the Six-Lane Road with Median and Tram Tracks for those extra busy parts of the city! The new small roads with tram tracks are very handy too though, offering a Four-Lane Road with Tram Tracks for the narrow but busy areas and a Two-Lane Road with Tram Tracks with the middle lanes being tram-only.

Take trams to the next level with the new roads and vehicles For anyone who owns both After Dark and Snowfall we have 4 new roads mixing bicycle lanes, trams, and bus-priority lanes - perfect for creating cyclist-friendly cities with busy public transport. The Six-Lane Road with Tram Tracks, Bus and Bicycle Lanes has to be my favorite as its just perfect for busy main roads throughout my city. The shared lanes for tram and bus allow my public transport priority lanes while still leaving 4 lanes for regular car and truck traffic, and the bicycle lanes integrate so well with the rest of my city.

Prioritize space for your public transport and cyclists with the new roads combining trams and bicycle lanes Last, but certainly not least, we have pedestrian streets with tram tracks, which are available when owning both Snowfall and Plazas & Promenades. As you may have guessed they come in both small and large versions and all three different styles for a total of 6 new pedestrian streets. Like regular pedestrian streets, you will need a pedestrian area and service to handle garbage and goods for buildings placed on these streets, and emergency vehicles and buses can use the tram lanes, allowing you to combine pedestrian streets with bus lanes and tram tracks seamlessly.

Bring tram lines into the heart of your pedestrian areas That brings us to the end of the line and the dev diary. Roads & Vehicles include many bug fixes besides the free content, which can be found in the patch notes below. Were grateful for all the reports, and should you come across any new issues please continue to report them on our Bug & Support forum. Well have additional fixes with the Financial Districts expansion and future patches to come.

Plazas & Promenades Dev Diary #5

Hello again city-builders! Plazas and Promenades is almost here, and Im so excited that you will soon be able to enjoy it. As with every major expansion, we have a little something for all players who own the base game, and todays Dev Diary is all about the free content! Lets start with a convenient new feature, Quit After Saving, which can be enabled when saving your city. As you may have guessed from the name, it will quit the game once it finishes saving, allowing you to skip the process of saving, waiting for it to finish just to select exit and get a warning about losing progress if you havent saved. Very handy when youre done playing and just need to save and quit the game.
Check the box before saving to quit automatically

New roads

As roads are a central part of any city, we are expanding the options even further with 18 new roads. We had a look through the road types you have wished for over the years and added as many of them as we could in this patch. This includes a series of roads with bus-priority lanes, which can be used by other vehicles if they need to turn, and for the first time ever bus-only lanes and roads! In the Small Roads category, you can soon find the new small road with wide sidewalks and small one-way road with wide sidewalks, as well as small roads with a concrete median, grass median, and tree median. For the busier parts of the city, you can grab the small 4-lane road or the 4-lane road with bus lanes, or expand your one-way road system with the 3-lane one-way and 4-lane one-way roads.

Stylish and practical selection of new roads New in the Large Roads category are the new large roads with medians, featuring 6 lanes in two directions separated by either a concrete median, grass median, or tree-lined median - the latter of which comes in both a regular version and a bus-priority lane version.

Expand your busy roads using these new options Lastly, we have a handful of new Highways for you using the all-new bus-only lanes. Create a high-speed bus network with the two-way bus-only expressway which comes both with or without sound barriers, or integrate bus-only lanes into your existing highways with the highway with bus-only lanes, both with or without sound barriers. And to connect them all you can use the bus-only expressway ramp.

Build a bus rapid transit system using the new highways We look forward to seeing how your cities will benefit from these new options and which ones will be your favorites. And while it isnt a road we do have another network for you, namely the new one-way metro tracks, allowing you more control and customizability over your metro network. Now, all theres left to do is check out the tutorial video by Overcharged Egg, have a look at the patch notes below, and wait for Plazas and Promenades to release. We hope youll enjoy the new content! [previewyoutube=Pkt3QnMgYGk;full][/previewyoutube]

Plazas & Promenades Dev Diary #4

Greetings city-builders, and welcome to the fourth Dev Diary covering Plazas and Promenades. Todays dev diary is all about the new district specializations and new maps, so lets check them out. First up we have the three new Wall-to-wall specializations that can be used for residential, commercial, and office zones. They unlock at Milestone 6 - Big Town, along with high-density zoning. Each specialization features 48 new modern low-rise buildings to create a unique area in your city. As a new feature to the game, these buildings have murals, which are randomly selected each time a building spawns to create additional variation and color in the neighborhoods.
A sprawling wall-to-wall neighborhood The new wall-to-wall specializations dont just look cool, but as a specialization, they also work slightly differently from regular zone types. To reflect their modern construction, these buildings have a lower risk of catching fire, but as theyre built close together, fires spread more easily between them. So make sure to keep a few fire stations nearby just in case they do catch fire. Like previous specializations, they can be found in the Districts and Areas menu under each zone tab and are applied to a district by selecting the specialization and clicking on a district. For pedestrian areas, however, there is no need to create a district, as specializations can be applied directly to the area. If a district and a pedestrian area overlap and have different specializations applied for a specific zone, like commercial, the pedestrian area specialization will be the one used.

New maps

Now we cant have an expansion without new maps for you to build on! For Plazas and Promenades, we have 5 maps for you to choose from, featuring different landscapes and themes. First is the temperate map of Cape Apple. You start centered on a long peninsula with easy access to the surrounding landmasses, creating an excellent environment for a thriving metropolis. Take advantage of the ship connections to bring in tourists or set up a bustling industry along the coast as you build your new city.

Cape Apple offers wide open spaces ready to be developed Next, we journey to the tropics with Coastal Gem. It features long wide beaches and lots of open space to build a city on. You can expand inland to reach some of the area's many ore deposits or claim the coastline and benefit from the added land value of waterfront property.

Coastal Gem lives up to its name with its beautiful beaches Gondola Islands is the first of our two new European maps. It is made up of a cluster of islands of varying sizes only connected to the mainland by a bridge. Whether you create island communities focused on walkability using pedestrian areas or connect the many islands using the new roads, Gondola Islands will shape any city built here.

The island cluster of Gondola Islands have much to offer The boreal map of Oracle Lake offers a large valley filled with forests and lakes for you to build your city on. Base the citys industry on the large forests, extract the abundant ore in the area, or focus on creating a vibrant tourist destination. The choice is yours.

Oracle Lake features many scenic views Last but not least is our second European map, Splitz Tributary. Build your city at the foot of the mountains or along the banks of the rivers meeting here. With lots of buildable land, your city can take many forms.

Splitz Tributary is an ideal location for a new city This concludes our Dev Diaries for the new content coming in Plazas and Promenades. On Tuesday, well have a look at the free update that adds something new for everyone, as well as the patch notes so youre completely up to date before release. Below Overcharged Egg has another tutorial for you, showing off the new content. Enjoy! [previewyoutube=sIo3O1LYSIM;full][/previewyoutube]

Plazas & Promenades Dev Diary #3

Alright mayors, its time for another Dev Diary as we count down to the release of Plazas and Promenades. Today is all about the new plazas & high capacity service buildings coming in this expansion, so lets get to it. Plazas and Promenades adds 10 new plazas, which can be found in the Pedestrian Areas menu under Parks & Plazas. Some of these are available as soon as you create your first pedestrian area, while others require you to reach certain goals before unlocking. They provide your citizens and tourists with entertainment, whether used inside a pedestrian area or anywhere else in the city.
Plazas and Promenades offer lots of variation to beautify your city As the plazas were designed with pedestrian streets in mind, several of them are placed across the road, providing decoration on both sides. These can be used with small or large roads, and are placeable on both pedestrian streets and regular roads. But plazas arent the only way to decorate an area! Weve also included 23 new props and 20 new decals. These can be found in the Pedestrian Area Plazas tab. They provide a colorful modern look to your city and allow you to put a personal touch on your pedestrian areas.
The new props can be used to decorate corners of your city

New Service Buildings

Besides decorative buildings, we have a selection of new service buildings in the form of 6 new service buildings and 5 new public transportation buildings. All of these have a modern style and high capacity, offering both practical and stylish new options. The High-Capacity Elementary School is quite a bit larger than the other schools we have, and its able to accommodate up to 800 students, making it ideal for neighborhoods with many families. In a similar fashion, the High-Capacity High School can educate more than twice as many students as the existing ones, with a capacity of 2400. And last, in the education menu, you will find the High-Capacity University, which can accept up to 10,000 students at a time.

Educate even more citizens using the new high-capacity options Moving on to health and safety, we have the High-Capacity Hospital, able to handle a substantial number of patients, and the High-Capacity Police Headquarters and High-Capacity Fire Station, both of which have a significant number of vehicles available to allow them to respond to more emergencies at once.

New high-capacity services to keep your citizens healthy and safe There are also new buildings in the Public Transportation menu. The new Compact Bus Station only takes up a little space but has 4 bus stops, which makes it easy for passengers to transfer between multiple lines. The new Elevated Train Station moves tracks off the ground to allow for zoning between the building and the street.

Modern and compact new options for buses and trains In the Metro department, we have 3 new options to choose from. For the elevated metro system, there is the new Elevated Metro Station with Shops in a style similar to the new train station. For the underground metro, we have the Parallel Underground Metro Station, which has 4 parallel tracks for areas where one line isnt enough, and the Large Underground Metro Station, which features two sets of tracks crossing at different heights.

Take your metro system to the next level with these new options And with that, weve come to the end of this Dev Diary. I hope you enjoyed this look at all the new service buildings and parks in Plazas and Promenades. Do you have any favorites already? The next Dev Diary is on Wednesday at 4PM CEST / 7AM PDT and looks at the new specializations and maps! Hope to see you then! [previewyoutube=sIo3O1LYSIM;full][/previewyoutube]

Plazas & Promenades Dev Diary #2

Welcome back mayors, to the second Plazas and Promenades Dev Diary! Today we explore the details of how to manage pedestrian areas, what progression looks like for them, and what an area focus is. So get comfortable and lets get started. The key to a successful pedestrian area is managing the service points and keeping citizens happy and entertained. As mentioned in the previous Dev Diary, service points have a maximum capacity. This is the number of trucks that can visit them per week. It can be seen both on the tooltip of each building as well as when selecting it. If a service point nears its capacity for either cargo or garbage, it will notify you of high traffic but will continue to function. If it reaches its capacity for one or both types of trucks, it will be unable to service all buildings. This will lead to garbage piling up or goods not being delivered. Make sure your pedestrian area has enough service points and that these are spread out to avoid traffic congestion.
Add more service points when you reach maximum capacity

Pedestrian Area Panel

To see how well your area is doing, select the name of the pedestrian area or use the button on any service point to open the Pedestrian Area Info Panel. The panel displays the average happiness of all buildings in an area, and the entertainment provided by parks and plazas divided by the size of the area. These are combined into a land value bonus, which is applied to the entire area, just like the entertainment is, making pedestrian areas more desirable for citizens and businesses. The Area Panel also shows a breakdown of the different zone types in an area, as well as the area focus, which is determined by the most prevalent zone type in an area. The focus can be either residential, commercial, workplaces (industry and offices combined), or mixed. Only the zones on pedestrian streets in an area count towards the area focus. Last but not least, the info tab contains a handy overview of the areas service points and their capacity for both cargo and garbage, as well as information about the areas size and maintenance cost.

The Pedestrian Area Info Panel provides an overview of your pedestrian area

Progression & Focus

Pedestrian areas do not have levels like other area types, but instead have different categories of buildings that get unlocked simultaneously. Some of these are universal and can be unlocked by any pedestrian area, while others are tied to a specific zone type. The Unlocking tab on the Pedestrian Area Panel shows you what is required to unlock each building and how close you are to unlocking them. Additional Service Points can be unlocked by any area as it grows and as service points are visited by more trucks. New service points in turn help you better handle the demands of the area as it grows. Like service points, Plazas can be unlocked by any area. As their unlocking depends on the land value bonus the area provides, make sure to have plenty of services, education, as well as parks and plazas in place.

Unlock more service points, plazas, and unique buildings as your pedestrian area grows Next up we have the 6 new unique buildings, which come in two categories and can be found in the Unique Buildings menu. Pedestrian Area Landmarks tie into the area focus for an area and require either a number of residents, goods sold, or workplaces in an area to unlock. Meanwhile, the Tourism Buildings are unlocked by reaching certain levels of weekly tourists visiting a pedestrian area. While these are not tied to a zone focus, you will need to provide attractions for tourists to visit in the form of parks and plazas, unique buildings, or commercial buildings.

Increase the attractiveness of your city using the new plazas and unique buildings

Area Policies

The one tab on the Pedestrian Area Panel we havent talked about yet is the Policies tab. On this tab, you can apply four different policies to your area to customize how it works. The policies are free to use, but each has downsides to consider. Slow Driving affects all roads in the area, forcing a speed limit of 20 everywhere and, as a result, decreasing noise pollution. Sugar Ban deals with the health of your citizens, increasing the lifespan of citizens, but with an increased crime rate as citizens start smuggling illegal candy bars into the area. You can also allow Street Music, which boosts the happiness of commercial buildings in an area but also increases the noise pollution slightly. And lastly, Deliver Everything routes all cargo and garbage through service points for all buildings in a pedestrian area. So in addition to handling the cargo and garbage needs for buildings on pedestrian streets, the service points need to handle cargo and garbage for buildings on regular roads too. I hope your service points are ready for the extra traffic! That concludes this Dev Diary. I hope you now have a good idea of how pedestrian areas work and if not, dont hesitate to ask! In the next Dev Diary coming Friday at 4PM CEST / 7AM PDT, well cover the new plazas & service buildings, which can be used on their own or as a part of pedestrian areas. For now, I will leave you in the hands of Overcharged Egg with this video tutorial: [previewyoutube=g2FTXIWm9l4;full][/previewyoutube]

Plazas & Promenades Dev Diary #1

Greetings mayors, and welcome to another set of Dev Diaries! Are you excited about Cities: Skylines Plazas and Promenades? Over the course of the next two weeks, I will walk you through all the new content from pedestrian areas and streets to new specializations and service buildings - and plazas of course! And without further ado, lets have a look at the announcement video: [previewyoutube=d0Q8RN9ut4s;full][/previewyoutube] At the center of Cities: Skylines Plazas and Promenades we have pedestrian areas and streets, which give you the tools to create neighborhoods focused on walkability. These will work to reduce traffic as well as noise pollution. To ensure you are able to create areas suited for your specific city, the pedestrian areas work with all existing zoned buildings!

Creating Pedestrian Areas

Pedestrian areas take advantage of the Area Tool, which you may be familiar with already. It can be found in the Districts and Areas menu and becomes available when you reach Milestone 3 - Tiny Town. Paint over empty land if you want to create a new pedestrian neighborhood, or over an existing part of your city if you wish to turn it into a pedestrian area. Like other areas and districts, it can be adjusted later as needed.

Paint a pedestrian area to unlock service points Once you are satisfied with the area, its time to place a Service Point, which can be found in the Pedestrian Areas menu under Parks & Plazas. Service points are essential to pedestrian areas as most vehicles, including garbage and delivery trucks, are not allowed on pedestrian streets. Instead, garbage is automatically collected from buildings on pedestrian streets to be picked up at the service point. Similarly, resources, goods, and mail are all routed through the service point, so make sure its placed on a road that can handle increased truck traffic! Service points come in two different sizes and three different types: The general Service Points, which cover all the listed needs, Garbage Service Points, which focus on waste management, and Cargo Service Points, which handle resources, goods, and mail.

Service points are vital for your pedestrian areas The different service points are important as they each have a capacity and if the area exceeds this, some buildings on pedestrian streets will not have their needs taken care of. Large pedestrian areas will need more service points to provide for the buildings on pedestrian streets, and depending on the mix of buildings in an area, you may need a higher capacity for garbage collection or cargo delivery.

Pedestrian Streets

With the pedestrian area created and a service point placed, its time to place pedestrian streets! These paved roads can only be used by walking or biking citizens and, when necessary, emergency vehicles like ambulances, hearses, police cars, and fire trucks. As citizens are the main users of the pedestrian streets, vehicles have to obey slow speed limits unless responding to an emergency. We have included a lot of variation in the pedestrian streets so that you can customize the look and feel of your areas. There are 3 styles: Sandstone, Bluestone, and Cobblestone, which come in two different widths. Each street also comes with 5 different variations with things like added grass, trees, and bus-only lanes. Thats a total of 30 different pedestrian streets for you to choose from!

Bluestone on the left, Sandstone in the middle, and Cobblestone on the right As youre building your pedestrian streets, you may go outside the pedestrian area you defined earlier. If that happens, the streets will automatically extend the area to follow them. This option can be enabled or disabled when placing the streets. Pedestrian streets can also be placed outside pedestrian areas, but keep in mind that any buildings placed on these streets will need a pedestrian area and a service point to function. Lastly, pedestrian streets come with a cool new little feature: Bollards automatically appear at the entrance to pedestrian streets to discourage vehicles from entering. When a vehicle needs to enter or exit the pedestrian street, they will stop and wait for the bollards to retract into the street before driving past. Isnt that cool?

Bollards retracting for a waiting police car Thats all we have for you this time! In the next Dev Diary, well cover the management and progression of pedestrian areas, so stay tuned for more information on Monday at 4PM CEST / 7AM PDT!

Important message from the Cities: Skylines team

An important message from the Cities: Skylines team, We have an amazing modding community and greatly appreciate the dedication and helpful nature thats been at the center of it for 7 years. Recently, there have been concerns in the community about reports of malware on the Steam workshop, which we want to address. We recently banned a few mods from the Cities: Skylines Workshop and want to clear up some of the misinformation surrounding these mods. The mods in question, which have been banned, are Network Extensions 3 and Update from Github. No keyloggers, viruses, bitcoin mining software, or similar has been found in mods on the Steam Workshop. Network Extensions 3, the mod alleged to contain malware, was banned due to discriminating against specific Steam users. First, it blocked a short list of Steam users from using the mod, but this was later changed to cause what appeared to be buggy gameplay. Blocking users or creating specific restrictions for them violates the Steam Subscriber Agreement and such resulted in the mod being banned. The mod Update from Github was removed shortly after appearing on the Workshop. This mod was designed to check for and install updates to mods directly from Github, making changes to existing Workshop subscriptions without the user's knowledge. This bypasses the Workshop entirely, and to avoid potential abuse (such as downloading malicious software) the mod has been removed. Harmony (Redesigned) has been mentioned in this context, however, the mod has not been updated since March 15th, 2021. Further updates to this workshop item are not possible as the account is banned and contributors are unable to update workshop items. In short:

No keyloggers, viruses, bitcoin mining software, or similar has been found in mods on the Steam Workshop.
The mod Network Extensions 3 was banned due to a violation of the Steam Subscriber Agreement.
The mod Update from Github was removed as a potential risk, and only affected ~50 users.
The Harmony (Redesigned) mod available on the Steam Workshop has not been found to contain the code to automatically update mods outside the Workshop.

If you come across any concerning mods, reuploads of banned mods, or mods containing the same/similar code, please report them using the report button on their workshop page.

System Requirements Update

Hey city builders! As we prepare for the release of the Airports - the new expansion for Cities: Skylines, we will be updating the System Requirements to play Cities: Skylines here on Steam. This updated information does not imply any specific changes happening with this particular release; instead, we are making this update to reflect seven years of development on the game, and making sure that we are listing specifications that are relevant to todays hardware market - as some of the original requirements are no longer available. Overall, you will not experience any noticeable performance change if you are already playing Cities: Skylines - this is information that is relevant to new players. We cannot wait to bring Airports, the Content Creator Packs, and the Radio Stations to you, and we look forward to seeing what you will build with all the new content!

Airports Dev Diary #5

Hello to all my fellow city-builders! True to tradition every new expansion comes with a free patch full of goodies for everyone, and this one is no exception. Following the theme of creative freedom and customization, we have a few new features for you, as well as an update to how planes behave. So lets dive in!

Improvements to PlaneAI

Airports presented a great opportunity to improve how planes behave. We have added more variation in how planes select a path, which leads to the use of multiple plane stands, not just for the new Airport Areas, but also the existing airports. And if youve ever encountered the bug causing airplanes to endlessly circle above your airport, you will be happy to know that it is fixed. But it isnt just the planes that have had their behavior updated, as the improvements also affect other public transport options bringing in passengers from outside connections. Beyond passenger and cargo planes, passenger ships and trains coming in and out of the city are less frequent, but have a higher passenger count when arriving, reducing unnecessary traffic.

International Airport with multiple planes parked

Replace trees on roads

You can now replace trees on roads and pedestrian paths with any tree available in the game! To do so simply go into the Landscaping menu and find the tree you want to use, select it and click on a tree-lined network already placed in your city to apply the new tree. This is done per segment, so you can customize the networks you want with the many different trees. And the best part is this is free since the cost of trees is already included in the cost of the network! And speaking of trees, the free patch includes 14 new trees by MrMaison everyone gets to enjoy and use! From palm trees to pines to grasses and bushes, theres something for every map!

Enjoy the shade of your favorite tree

Buy or sell soil

While were in the Landscaping category lets look at some changes to how soil works! You still use and store soil as you landscape the terrain, but we have added an option to buy or sell soil making landscaping, and also creating Airport Areas, easier. No more running out of soil and having to dig a hole, or creating a mountain just to dispose of excess soil! Just click the new button in the Landscaping Info View active when landscaping or creating Airport Areas.

Buy or sell soil to finish your landscaping project easily

Service Vehicle Selection

Pairing nicely with the new vehicles by bsquiklehausen is the option to select which city service vehicles can spawn for Healthcare, Deathcare, Fire Department, Police Department, and Garbage. This is set per service building and the menu for this can be found by opening the respective service buildings Info Panel. The button to change vehicles is found in the bottom right, but its only visible if there is more than one vehicle to choose from. This doesnt just work with the Content Creator Pack, but any custom vehicles you may be using.

Pick your favorite vehicle or let the game randomize them all As we prepare for the release tomorrow please ensure your seat is in an upright position and direct your attention to the patch notes below. Thank you for choosing Cities: Skylines Airports. Last but not least check out the video tutorial by City Planner Plays and don't forget to subscribe to our YouTube channel for more!

Airports Dev Diary #4

Greetings city-builders! Are you ready for another Dev Diary? This one is loaded with goodies and stocked full of information about Cargo Airport Services! When your airport reaches level 3 you unlock the Cargo Airport buildings and roads, which include the Cargo Airport Terminal, Cargo Aircraft Stand, Medium and Large Cargo Airport Roads, and the Airport Cargo Train Station. In keeping with our goals of modularity and creative freedom, you can add these to existing airports or create one specifically for cargo air traffic. Cargo Aircraft Stands work slightly differently than the passenger stands in that they can be placed alongside any road and do not require a connection to a terminal to function. This means you can simply add a Cargo Aircraft Stand along a road and connect it to your existing runway using taxiways and you are able to ship cargo in and out of your airport!
Expand your airport to accept cargo air traffic However, while the Cargo Aircraft Stand might be all you need to receive cargo planes, it doesnt make for much of a cargo airport! Thats where the Cargo Airport Terminal comes into play! It can be added to an existing Airport Area creating a dedicated point of departure and arrival for cargo traffic, or it can be the main terminal in its own Airport Area. As airport levels are tied to passengers and attractiveness, a dedicated cargo Airport Area will remain level 1 however.
Only cargo trucks are allowed through the terminal The Medium Cargo Airport Road and the Large Cargo Airport Road are wide roads with utility buildings separating the lanes. These can be used to extend the Cargo Airport Terminal or as roads in your city, and are able to handle a good amount of traffic. The Large Cargo Airport Road even has a wide area for loading and unloading, making it ideal for high volumes of industrial traffic. And last but not least is the Airport Cargo Train Station which features 4 train tracks making it ideal for cargo transfers between different areas of your city. Dont let the name fool you though! Its placeable anywhere in your city, so its a great option for those areas where the regular Cargo Train Station just cant keep up with the train traffic.
Distribute cargo throughout your city with the Airport Cargo Train Station

New Maps

Whether youre looking to build a city profiting from substantial industry or focused on tourism, Airports comes with three new maps featuring large open areas making them ideal for airports! First on our list is the tropical Asanu Beach, which features a long stretch of wide beaches and an undisturbed lagoon perfect for tourism! But if that isnt your kind of city, the lush jungles have much more to offer and could be a bustling metropolis or profitable industrial venture.

Asanu Beach with its sandy beaches and lush jungles Heading to the temperate regions we find Hanami Bay at the mouth of two rivers and plenty of land to expand to - whether you want to move inland or take advantage of the bays many islands is up to you!

Hanami Bay benefits from its long coastline If you long for colder destinations, then Noyou Port might just be the place for you! Its wide-open spaces are ideal for any city and the rivers carved into the landscape through the eons offer beautiful scenery.

Noyou Port is rich in both natural beauty and open space And with that, weve reached the end of the line for this Dev Diary! With Airports almost ready to ship, we have just one thing left to cover: The free update coming to everyone on the 25th of January! Monday at 4 PM CET / 7 AM PST we cover the new features and updates, including the patch notes so you are up to date with everything!

Airports Dev Diary #3

Good afternoon passengers, and welcome aboard this Dev Diary headed for the creation of your very own City Airline. The team has prepared a handful of refreshing screenshots for you today, which can be found throughout this post. At level 3 your airport has become significant enough to be the base of operations for an airline. With the Airline Headquarters Building, a Unique Building found in the Airport Area menu, you can found your very own airline, and customize the name, logo, and planes! All you need to do is place the building somewhere in your city - it can be in the Airport Area or anywhere you like.
Airline Headquarters are essential to founding your own airline Once in your city, the Airline Headquarters Building unlocks the Airline tab in the Airport Area Info Panel - this tab can also be reached by selecting the Airline Headquarters Building and clicking the Airline Info button. Here you can change the name of your airline, choose a logo from the 6 options and set the main color of your aircraft fleet, as well as change the ticket price.
Customize the look of your airline Having an airline in your city not only gives tourism an additional boost, but it also provides you with an additional income to help offset the cost of running your airport. Low ticket prices add to the Airport Areas Attractiveness, while a high ticket price can make it slightly less attractive for tourists. Balance the Attractiveness right and youre able to earn a sizable profit from your airline!
About one-third of planes using the airport will be from your airline An airline is unique to the city, so you can only have one, even if you have multiple Airport Areas in the city. Any changes made to the airline from one Airport Area Info Panel will be applied to all areas.

Aviation Museum

Another Unique Building available once your airport reaches level 3 is the Aviation Museum, also found in the Airport Area tab under Public Transport. This old aircraft hangar now houses historical planes and teaches citizens and tourists alike about the history of aviation. As a Unique Building, it adds to your City Attractiveness and helps attract more tourists to your city!

Must visit for aviation fans from near and far That concludes todays Dev Diary! Were excited to see what airlines will end up in your cities and hope you enjoy taking control of your airports economy. Next up we look at Cargo Airport Services and how they tie into Airport Areas - thats Thursday at 4 PM CET / 7 AM PST. Last but not least check out the video tutorial by City Planner Plays and don't forget to subscribe to our YouTube channel for more!

Airports Dev Diary #2

Welcome back to the second Airport Dev Diary! Today we invite those of you looking to create large airports to the front of the line as we begin this Dev Diary concerning Airport Progression and Public Transport Links.

Next level airports

A level 1 airport is comparable to the base game airport - its a basic connection to the outside world - but with a lot more flexibility in terms of layout. It consists of a terminal, at least one plane stand and a runway with connecting taxiways, and can accept small planes. Decorative buildings are available and needed for the airport to level up, unlocking larger planes, more buildings and additional connections to the city.

Airport Areas can be compact like the regular airport - but expanded when your citys needs grow To reach level 2 your airport needs to service 500 passengers and have an Attractiveness Score of 200, which is reached by placing decorative buildings in your airport. Decorative buildings have their own menu filter and can be hotels, hangars and parked planes. Once your airport reaches level 2 you unlock the medium plane stand and your airport can start receiving medium planes, which can carry more passengers. Furthermore, you unlock large terminals, more decorative buildings, and integrated metro in the form of Concourse Hubs and the Elevated Airport Metro Station.

Decorative buildings make your airport more attractive Level 3 is the highest level your airport can reach and requires 5000 passengers and an Attractiveness Score of 1000, but in turn unlocks not only large planes, but also cargo planes, the Airport Train Station and the Airline Headquarters Building, which lets you found your very own airline - more on that in the next Dev Diary! Once an airport reaches a level, it cannot be lost even if you make changes to the airport. However, any new area created in the city will always start out as level 1. And yes, that means you can have multiple Airport Areas in your city if you want!

A well-established airport Link to the city Among the new airport buildings are options for integrated bus, metro, and train so you can easily connect your new airport to the rest of your city - or create shortcuts within your airport if it spans a large area! The Airport Bus Station is available from level 1 and can be placed anywhere along the concourse network. It has 11 available stops for buses making for a perfect opportunity to use the two new buses! The Articulated Airport Bus is able to carry 50 passengers, while the Doubledecker Airport Bus can transport up to 60 passengers, making them ideal for busy routes headed into the city!

New bus options connect your city to the airport When your airport reaches level 2 you unlock metro connections in the form of Large Terminals, the Elevated Airport Metro Station and Concourse Hubs. Like the bus station, they connect directly to the concourse network, but do not need a road connection! Simply connect them to your metro network and set up a line carrying passengers between your airport and the city. Keeping with the theme we added an Airport Express Metro, which can be selected using the vehicle selector when viewing the line details.

Dont miss your flight with the Airport Express Metro At level 3 you are able to build the Airport Train Station. This modern ground station is placed along the concourse network and does not require a road connection either. You just connect the train tracks to your city and set up a train line. We also included an Airport Express Train, which can be selected from the Line Info Panel to add more variation to your train lines!

Integrated train station makes long distance travel in the city even easier Weve arrived at the end of this Dev Diary and hope you have enjoyed what we had for you today. Monday at 4 PM CET / 7 AM PST we take a closer look at the Airline Headquarters Building, which unlocks at level 3 and lets you set up your very own airline!

Airports Dev Diary #1

Greetings city-builders! I hope youre ready for another round of Dev Diaries as we prepare for the release of Cities: Skylines - Airports, the expansion that was announced on the 10th of December 2021! If you havent already, check out the trailer here or watch it below. [previewyoutube=RQd8sz4naD4;full][/previewyoutube] Cities: Skylines Airports is an expansion in which you design your own airport and grow it from a small local transit point to a massive international hub buzzing with life. Its modular, using special concourse networks to connect each building, which allows for a lot of creative freedom and flexibility, meaning you can build an airport in many different shapes and sizes to fit your city! Airports expansion lands in stores on the 25th of January and to ensure a smooth arrival we have prepared these Dev Diaries covering each new feature, so please sit back and enjoy!
Shape your airport to fit your city

Create your Airport

Airports use the Area Tool which can be found in the Districts and Areas menu, and becomes available when your city reaches Milestone 4. It works very similar to Districts and other Area Tools with one exception: It flattens the ground and removes trees in preparation for your airport, adding a landscaping cost and affecting the amount of soil available to you. The 3 new maps added in Airports feature a lot of suitable, but more on those in a later Dev Diary.

The Airport Area tool prepares the terrain for your airport Once you are satisfied with the area, its time to start actually building your airport! All the items you need are in the Public Transport menu under the new Airport Area tab. A functional airport needs a terminal building, a plane stand, and a runway, and taxiways connecting the plane stand to the runway. The Airport Area has a handy checklist alerting you to anything youre missing to get your airport going!

Go through your checklist before takeoff The first thing your new Airport Area needs is a terminal. Once placed it unlocks the additional buildings and the concourse, runway and taxiway networks needed to create your airport. Concourse networks serve as a connection between terminals and plane stands, which are placed along the concourse. Next, the airport needs a runway for planes to land and take off. It works differently than most networks as it has both a minimum length and cannot be extended after placing it, so make it as long as you want it right away. Taxiways connect the runway and the plane stands in a one-way loop.

A modular airport in its simplest form

Choose your style

There are 3 different styles you can choose from when building your airport: Classic, Modern and Ultra Modern. Each style has 3 different sizes of terminal buildings, a concourse network, a control tower and a concourse hub with built-in metro for those very large airports, and all 3 style options are available at level 1. An airport can have multiple terminal buildings, which function as different entry and exit points for citizens. This lets you expand your airport as it grows, with different terminals able to handle different amounts of traffic. For a busy airport you might want to use the 2 story terminal option, which splits arrivals and departures and has a dedicated lane for buses and taxis to drop off or pick up passengers.

Pick your favorite style or mix all of them in one airport

Airport Info Panel

Selecting the Airport Area name or using the Airport Area Info button after selecting a terminal brings up the Airport Info Panel, which shows all the relevant information for your airport: Level, passenger count, attractiveness score, income and expenses, and much more.

The Airport Area Info Panel gives a quick overview of your airport Like most public transport you will find an airport to be a costly investment with little direct income. Instead, it brings in tourists to your city, who visit attractions and commercial buildings, adding to your income. And the attractiveness of the airport also increases the City Attractiveness, which helps bring in even more tourists! The Policies tab lets you apply area-specific policies, like Hotel Discounts, which gives your airport a direct increase in attractiveness, Great Maintenance, which adds a Land Value bonus to the whole airport, and Car Rentals, which encourages tourists to use cars but may cause increased traffic. With the basics of creating an Airport Area covered, we come to the end of this Dev Diary. We hope you enjoyed this first look at Cities: Skylines Airports, which arrives in stores on the 25th of January, and dont forget to check in on Friday at 4 PM CET / 7 AM PST when we explore Airport Levels & Public Transport Links!

Mod Troubleshooting

Cities: Skylines comes with a massive workshop full of custom content that lets you customize your game to suit your playstyle, and if you use a lot of mods, you might be worried about what happens to your city now that patch 1.13.0-f7 is here. But fear not! I am here to guide you through the process and help you get back to building. Since mods change how things work in the game, they are likely to break when a patch makes changes to the game itself, meaning your city won't load/work like it usually does. But don't worry, most mods update pretty quickly or can safely be removed, so you are unlikely to lose your city. Just don't panic and if you do open your save, don't save over the file - save as a new file instead just to be safe.

If you play with a lot of mods

Dont open your city or cities yet, but wait until most major mods are updated, so nothing breaks.
Use the links in this post to see which mods are updated.
Disable all mods and start a new city (make sure not to save over your other city!) if you want to check out the new features. This can easily be done by adding the launch option -noWorkshop (without the quotation marks)
Even if you have broken mods you might still be able to load your city, but depending on the mods things might be messy. If you do load without those mods, make sure to save as a new file just in case!

Will I be able to continue my old city?

Most likely yes, but it might be a few days depending on what mods you use. I'll help you figure out when you can safely start your city again.

Will insert mod be updated?

Most likely yes - a lot of our awesome modders are working hard to get everything up and running again. But some mods will need larger fixes and as modders only have their free time, we might wait a while for some of them. Now is a great time to tell them how much we appreciate their work! And if there are already several comments mentioning the mod is broken, you don't need to comment. The modder knows and will update when they can.

Which mods are broken?

Follow this thread for a list of known broken mods, and updates as more are discovered and others are fixed.

Which mods do I absolutely need to load my city?

I don't have a complete list, but generally mods that add a network like Network Extensions 2, More Train Tracks, Metro Overhaul Mod, One Way Train Tracks and Extra Train Station Tracks are needed to load a city once you have used the networks they add in your city. If any of these are broken you'll have to wait for them to be fixed to load your city again. 81 tiles is another mod you'll need to wait for to be updated if you have used it. Then there are mods like Traffic Manager: President Edition, any mod that changes population numbers (like Realistic Population and Consumption), Ploppable RICO and Plop the Growables, which you can load your city without, but it's not a good idea as your city will be chaotic at best and fall apart at worst. A good way to determine how much you need a mod is to think of what it does. If it makes some big changes to how things work in game, removing it will cause problems. If it's something that makes things more convenient for you but doesn't really change how things function once in your city, it isn't a big deal to get rid of.

Still having issues?

You might have mods that broke before this patch - maybe last patch or long before that. I recommend checking out this list of broken and abandoned mods to get rid of any old ones you still have. It's a constant work in progress, so it may not be a complete list. See the tab at the bottom on how to use.

Sunset Harbor Dev Diary #5

Greetings, fellow city-builders, and welcome to another Sunset Harbor Dev Diary! This time we'll check out the free content coming with the update.

Overground Metro

Imagine a busy city center, people walking towards a metro station and a metro train passing by in the background... That's right! One of the most highlyanticipated features, the overground metro, is coming to Cities: Skylines! Now you finally have the ability to build street level metro tracks or even raise them off the ground entirely! Plus, there are two new metro stations and a brand new metro vehicle as well. The new stations can naturally be connected to your old metro lines and underground metro network. These new buildings unlock at Milestone 6. Since the metro vehicle model now looks more realistic and is longer than the old one, some changes were made to the underground metro stations and pathfinding. This feature won't affect old saves, however you won't be able to make the tracks turn as sharply as was previously possible. Metro lines can still be created the same way as before, by selecting the line tool and adding nodes on metro stations. You can change the elevation of the metro tracks with the same old Page Up and Page Down keys as always. Have fun planning new overground metro lines in your cities!

Elevated metro station takes citizens to new heights.

New Healthcare City Services

As a part of the free content update, we offer a place for all elderly people to gather and spend time together, take part in hobbies and get treatment for the various ailments old age brings. Studies show that placing an Eldercare facility in your city increases the health of all elders, heals sick elders and increases the average lifespan of all citizens. Building Eldercare buildings might also attract more elders to move into your city. In addition to looking after the elderly, there is also another healthcare city service. The Child Health Center increases the health and, ultimately, the happiness of all children and teenagers in the neighborhood and increases the birth rate nearby. There is also a high chance of a sick minor getting cured when visiting the building. Together, these new additions come with a new Advisor text and an updated Health infoview.

Eldercare and Child Health Center to care for the elderly and children.

Improvements

On top of the free content mentioned above, Sunset Harbor also includes lots of smaller improvements. The biggest of them all is the Tutorial Message Log. You know how sometimes you forget a tutorial text that popped up a moment ago and you want to read it again more thoroughly but can't find it anywhere? Well, now you can access all unlocked tutorial messages from a neat new log! The Tutorial Message Log can be found in the pause menu. It even comes with a search bar and categories to make searching easier when there are lots of unlocked tutorials.

The Tutorial Message Log stores all tutorials. Another handy new feature is the possibility of loading a game and having it start in a paused state. No more rushing to pause the game immediately after loading. This option will be on by default, and you can turn it off anytime from the Gameplay Options. The camera position can also now be saved when saving the game. This means you get to continue exactly where you left off when you load a saved game. If you save the game while zoomed in on a certain building for example, you will continue from the exact same place when you load the game again. Placing buildings on curved roads and slopes has also been made simpler with more flexible building placement. Building onto the inside curve of a curved road, for example, is not challenging anymore. Building pedestrian paths is easier now, too. And last but not least, we have walkable quays. Quays can now be edited in the Asset Editor to allow pedestrian paths on top of them. This makes quays work like pedestrian paths, which is a nice addition to city-planning and allows for detailing the shoreline in-game. And this wraps up Sunset Harbor DLC Dev Diaries! In addition to this free content, there are a lot of new features available ranging from the Fishing Industry all the way to Trolleybuses, the Waste Transfer System and Inland Water Treatment Plants. Are you already excited for Cities Skylines: Sunset Harbor? It's coming out soon, so you can already start planning on how to incorporate all these neat features into your new or existing cities!

Sunset Harbor Dev Diary #4

Greetings fellow city-builders and welcome to another Sunset Harbor Dev Diary! This time, we look at new maps and policies as well as the new unique building, all of which are coming in Sunset Harbor. Let's start with the maps!

Maps

Sunset Harbor introduces five new maps to the game. The maps differ from each other significantly, and each one brings along new challenges into your city-building. Are you ready to take the first steps and start on this journey that will take us from serpentine river filled swamp lands all the way to something we've never done before in Cities: Skylines, a desert? Join us! Located in a large, open bay area overlooking the vast ocean, Azure Gulf offers good outside connections by ship. With small lakes and several rivers of various sizes, Azure Gulf is an ideal place to start a booming Fishing Industry. This temperate map is also rich in ore and forests.

Azure Gulf With its Boreal theme, Crater Falls is a large crater area surrounded by a mountain range with several trickling rivers flowing into small lakes in the middle. Cliff faces rising from the riverbeds, ever flowing rapids, deep lakes and beautiful waterfalls all invite fishers to come and seize the day and take their pick from the different types of fish the waters hold. In addition to providing good Fishing Industry possibilities, the mountains are rich in ore and there are plenty of forests and fertile land areas between the rivers.

Crater Falls Made possible by the new Inland Water Treatment Plants and the Water Tower, Desert Oasis is a map with no flowing water. Surrounded by an endless desert hiding only a few oases, this map offers a completely unique place for a city. With so little fresh water, the Tropical Desert Oasis may not be best for fishing, but the dunes are rich in both ore and oil.

Desert Oasis As the name suggests, Fisher Enclave is a great place to start a Fishing Industry. With huge bodies of still water surrounding it, Fisher Enclave consists of several small and a few larger islands. This European themed map filled with forests offers mainly two kinds of fish. Just be careful, as the still waters are easily polluted.

Fisher Enclave While its defining feature are the flowing, serpentine rivers carrying every type of fish, Swamplands also offers large flat areas suitable for building. This map with a Boreal theme is rich in forests and fertile land. Take care, though, as you might accidentally make the rivers overflow, flooding large areas of land.

Swamplands

Policies

Sunset Harbor also includes 6 new policies, four of which are fishing related. The Fishing License policy creates residential tax income from the city selling affordable fishing licenses to its citizens. The policy unlocks at Milestone 3, and it increases crime and decreases citizen happiness by a small amount. With the Sustainable Fishing policy, the fishing industry can take steps to ensure that the fish population sizes stay at healthy levels. This increases the price of fish sold but lowers the fish yield, as fishing boats leave more fish in the ocean to minimize the environmental impact. With the Dolphin-safe Fishing policy, the fishing industry adopts new techniques to ensure minimal dolphin fatalities resulting from fishing. This increases citizen happiness but also lowers the fish yield. Sustainable and Dolphin-safe Fishing both unlock at Milestone 6. When Algae-based Water Filtering is enabled, the water service network uses algae as a natural filtering system. This policy is unlocked after an Algae Farm is built and Milestone 5 is reached. It increases the purification level of drain pipes and water treatment plants but also increases the water facility upkeep cost and decreases algae farm production. After building an intercity station or terminal, you can increase bus-based tourism with the Tourist Travel Card policy. The city's tourism department then starts a campaign to increase tourism in the city by offering affordable intercity bus tickets to people living in the surrounding cities. This increases the upkeep costs of the Intercity Bus Station. The Airplane Tours policy is available after building the new unique building (more of which in next part of the diary). By opening its door to tourists, the building's attractiveness and entertainment are increased. The downside is higher levels of noise pollution. These two city policies unlock at Milestone 6.

Aviation Club

Now is the time to finally reveal the new unique building. Can we get a drum roll, please! Sunset Harbor's unique building is the Aviation Club! It consists of a small terminal, an air traffic control tower and a runway for light aircraft. Planes take off, fly high into the sky, circle around the city and land safely back on the runway. Local aviation hobbyists and owners of small planes can use the field as a base for recreational flying within the city's limits. The Aviation Club also attracts tourists and increases the city's attractiveness and entertainment. Once unlocked at Milestone 6, the building is found in the Unique Buildings build menu, under Level 5 Unique Buildings tab.

Light aircraft taking off from the Aviation Club. That's all for this Dev Diary. We hope you are as excited about the new maps and the unique building as we are! Tune in again next time when we look at the upcoming free content. Best regards, Your Colossal Order dev team PS. Don't forget to check out the video tutorial from Bsquiklehausen!

Sunset Harbor Dev Diary #3

Hello! Welcome yet again to another Cities Skylines: Sunset Harbor Dev Diary! So please, stay a while and... read! In this Dev Diary, we'll be taking a look at the Waste Transfer System and Inland Water Treatment features coming with the Sunset Harbor DLC!

Waste Transfer System

The Garbage city service is getting expanded with a Waste Transfer System feature. Players have at times experienced difficulties with the Landfill site's reach or the fact that it creates highly polluted areas in the middle of the city. The Waste Transfer System is an upgrade to the base game's garbage service, and it focuses on solving these problems and improving the gameplay in relation to the Garbage city service. While the base game Landfill Sites and Incinerators, along with Green Cities DLC Recycling Centers, can be used alongside the new Waste Transfer System, the new system's core idea is to make handling garbage easier and more flexible without compromising the city layout as drastically. The Waste Transfer System contains a Waste Processing Complex and a Waste Transfer Facility along with two new vehicles, the Waste Transfer Truck and the Waste Collection Truck. With the new additions, you can build a Waste Processing Complex far away from your beautiful city and extend its reach by building smaller, less polluting Waste Transfer Facilities in the city. If you have either the Sunset Harbor or the Industries DLC enabled, you will find that the Garbage build menu has been renamed to Garbage and Industry and that's where, under the Garbage tab, all the new Waste Transfer System buildings can be found once they are unlocked at the Grand City milestone (9).

A Waste Processing Complex in a spot perfect for processing garbage: far away from the city, in a industrial district. When you have unlocked the Waste Transfer System buildings, you can begin using them by building Waste Transfer Facilities at essential locations around the city. When facilities and landfills are getting full, it is a good idea to build a Waste Processing Complex, which will begin sending out Waste Transfer Trucks to pick up garbage from any Landfill Site, Recycling Center, Incineration Plant or Waste Transfer Facility. It is worth noting, however, that a Waste Processing Complex can't work on it's own, as it doesn't collect garbage directly from buildings, only from other garbage-storing facilities.

Waste processing chain differences between base game garbage service and the Waste Transfer System. The Waste Transfer System will come in handy for example when the city is looking to expand, when the roads are getting filled with garbage trucks, or when landfill sites just can no longer reasonably keep up with the amounts of garbage the city produces. By having Waste Transfer Facilities scattered across the city, garbage can be collected from buildings more swiftly, while a centralized Waste Processing Complex then handles the collection of garbage from those temporary holding sites. This keeps pollution away from city and saves up space for more zoning possibilities.

A Waste Transfer Facility can operate safely even in residential neighborhoods.

Inland Water Treatment

The Inland Water Treatment Plant is an expansion of the Water service, and it enables you to build cities completely inland, far away from open water sources. With the Inland Water Treatment Plant, your city can process waste water without pumping sewage into lakes, rivers or the ocean. The Inland Water Treatment Plant does create high ground pollution however, so placing it next to residential areas or bodies of water is not advisable. Advanced variants of the Inland Water Treatment can process higher quantities of sewage while creating less ground pollution. The Eco variant produces even lower ground pollution levels but also has a lower drain capacity. The Inland Water Treatment Plant and all of its variants can be found under the Water and Sewage build menu. The Inland Water Treatment Plant and the Eco Inland Water Treatment Plant are unlocked at city milestone 0. The Advanced Inland Water Treatment Plant is unlocked at city milestone 8, and finally the Eco Advanced Inland Water Treatment Plant is unlocked at milestone 10.

Large Water Tower compared to its smaller sibling. The Inland Water Treatment Plant is built on land, alongside a road. It can be connected to the water network simply by building water pipes to its connector node underground, in the exact same way as every other water pump, tower and drain pipe. Once functional, the Inland Water Treatment Plant starts generating ground pollution around the building but purifying the water. Also included in the extended Water city services is the Large Water Tower. It shares the same functionality as the base game Water Tower, but has a much higher pumping capacity! And just like the base game Water Tower, the Large Water Tower can be placed anywhere on the ground. Once placed and connected to the water pipe and electricity networks, it will start pumping water. Ground pollution affects the quality of water, and if water is pumped from an area with ground pollution, citizens will become sick. With these additions to the Water and Sewage city services, cities can now also form skylines even in places where plenitudes of water aren't available!

An Inland Water Treatment Plant and its Advanced version take care of the sewage but produce a lot of ground pollution! Better place these away from the city! And that wraps it up for this Dev Diary. We look forward to seeing you again on the next one, where we will be taking a more in-depth look at the new maps, policies and the new unique building! Best regards, Your Colossal Order dev team PS.

Sunset Harbor Dev Diary #2b

Greetings, fellow city-builders, and welcome to another Sunset Harbor Dev Diary! As the previous diary was dedicated to Trolleybuses, we think it's a good idea to follow it with even more public transport services coming to you in Sunset Harbor.

Intercity Bus Service

Intercity Bus is a public transport service that opens up a new outside connection. In addition to transporting tourists, the Intercity Bus Service also makes traveling easier for your citizens and ultimately decreases traffic, as people leave their own vehicles at home.

There's something to it when you travel by night, with home waiting in the distance. The Intercity Bus Service unlocks at Milestone 6, but you can already see intercity buses on the highways at the start of the game. The new intercity bus station and terminal are located in the same build menu tab as the local bus service. There is no need to create any stops or lines, just build an intercity bus station or terminal and you can notice intercity buses making frequent stops at your city. This new service also comes with a brand new intercity bus vehicle model and an updated Public Transport Infoview. Adjusting the old bus budget slider also encourages people to use intercity buses more.

Passenger Helicopter

The next new public transport service takes citizens to new heights. Passenger helicopters circumvent traffic altogether and zip through the sky, connecting people in a whole new way. This service unlocks at Milestone 11, right before airports, and uses the same build menu tab as other Air transport services. The new assets that unlock with the service are the helicopter vehicle model, helicopter depot and helicopter stop. There is also an updated Public Transport Infoview and helicopters are added to the existing Air Transport budget slider. To start building your first passenger helicopter line, you first need to place a helicopter depot that sends out the helicopters. Then you build as many helicopter stops as you want and connect them with the new Helicopter pathway tool. Don't forget to connect the depot to one of the stops because helicopters can't move without pathways! Lastly, you can create helicopter lines by selecting joined Helicopter stops with the Helicopter Line tool. There are also two helicopter stops in one of the new transport hubs we are going to talk about next!

Transport Hubs

You read it right, we are adding new transport hubs to the game! There are five new hubs in total coming with Sunset Harbor. Transport hubs connect different transport networks together, making changing from one transport type to another easy and fast without the need to walk from one stop to another. All new hubs are added to a brand new build menu tab together with the older hubs. Transport hubs function the same way as public transport stops: If a transport hub has been built and is connected to a road, train track or metro track, it can be used as a stop when creating a public transport line.

Train-Metro hub, at your service! Here are short introductions to the new assets:

Bus-Intercity Bus Hub utilizes the new intercity bus service introduced above and connects it to the good old local bus service. Bus lines can be created on the bus platforms and citizens can change between local and intercity buses with ease. At Milestone 6, this hub is the first of the five to unlock.
Metro-Intercity Bus Hub combines the intercity bus service with an underground metro network to get your travelers all around town! This hub unlocks at Milestone 7.
Bus-Metro Hub connects the local bus service and two metro networks together. You can see citizens taking the escalator to the metro and hurrying to the bus platforms as they change lines. Unlocks at Milestone 9.
Train-Metro Hub has two large stations connected together by a road and a bridge over the road that makes it easy for train passengers to change to a metro line. But hang on, is that an overground metro line? More about that in the Dev Diaries to come. This beauty unlocks at Milestone 8.
Metropolitan Airport brings with it the largest building to Cities: Skylines so far! This hub wraps together an international airport, two underground metro stations and two landing pads for the passenger helicopter. This colossal building unlocks at Milestone 13.

The Metropolitan Airport will bring citizens together from around the world. With these hubs, we've tied together all the new public transport services. The next Dev Diary is going to focus on completely different city services. We hope you liked these new features and are looking forward to the next ones! Until next time, city-builders!

Sunset Harbor Dev Diary #2a

Greetings fellow city-builders and welcome to another Sunset Harbor Dev Diary! Ever since Cities: Skylines was released, we have received hundreds of requests for one specific feature: Trolleybuses! And to go along with every one of those requests, vivid debates took place within the community about whether or not trolleybuses are too hard to implement, if the feature is too niche or if they actually ever even read the suggestions posted on the forums. Let us assure you that we are indeed constantly listening, and every single idea is considered when we are deciding what to do next! Also, we are just as enthusiastic about public transport as you are, and you would have to be very creative to suggest something that we would consider to be too niche The reason trolleybuses have never been added is their technical complexity. Trolleybuses are basically trackless trams: electrical buses that draw their power from overhead wires. Unlike trams, they utilize two wires and two trolley poles to complete the electrical circuit. And like a normal bus, a trolleybus is able to change lanes and stop on the side of the road. As the bus is moving, its poles rotate and tilt to stay attached to the wires. In the game as well as in reality, the trolley poles are the most tricky part of the whole system. We are glad to inform you that we have managed to overcome the technical challenges, so Trolleybuses will finally be available in Cities: Skylines Sunset Harbor!
They are finally here! The trolleybus system in Cities: Skylines Sunset Harbor consists of four components:

Trolleybus Depot
Trolleybus Roads
Trolleybus Stops
Trolleybus Vehicle

To get started with trolleybuses, you first place a Trolleybus Depot. After that, you can place Trolleybus Roads and create Trolleybus Lines with roadside stops. Your depot will then send out trolleybuses to operate the lines. It is important to remember that the trolley poles must be attached to the wires at all times, so your Trolleybus Depot and your Trolleybus Lines must be connected by Trolleybus Roads as well!

Trolleybus Depot sending out new trolleybuses.

Taking passengers over the river. Thats the easy part! In the second part of this Dev Diary, we would like to shed light on what we did to make the trolley poles behave realistically. Unlike other diary entries, this one will be slightly more technical. Even if you are not that math and geometry savvy, we still hope you enjoy this inside look!

The Wire

Lets take a closer look at the roads! On every road segment, you will find three catenary masts: One at the start, one in the middle and one at the end. The electrical wires span the masts, and with some mathematical calculations we can find out the start and end coordinate of each wire section. Lets call them

and

(using a small arrow to mark them as 3D vectors). A mathematical formula to define the line of the wire would be

with

and

When the bus is on the road segment, we want its pole to connect to the overhead wire defined by the mathematical formula above.

is the coordinate where the pole is attached to the wire.

The Trolleybus

The game knows how the bus is positioned and rotated in the world, and from that it is possible to calculate the coordinate where the trolley pole is attached to the bus. Lets call it

! The trolley pole is made of sturdy metal, so it cannot stretch. That means the distance between the coordinate where the pole is attached to the bus (

) and the coordinate where the pole is attached to the wire (

) must always be equal to the length of the pole. Lets call it and define this formula to take that into account:

The Equation System

By inserting the first formula into the second one, we end up with a single equation with a single unknown variable c :

With a few tricks we can transform it into a quadratic equation: Step 1:

with

Step 2:

Step 3:

Step 4:

Step 5:

We can use the quadratic formula to solve the equation. We will get zero, one or two values for c :

Note that there will be no solutions if the part in the square root is negative (which happens if the wire is too far away from the bus). Note that the solutions for c calculated by this formula could also be out of range (

), so we have to check that as well.

Choosing the Right Position

By inserting

and

into our wire formula

, we can calculate two theoretical pole-wire-attachment coordinates

and

. One will be above the front part and the other above the back of the bus:

As the pole of a trolleybus is typically facing backwards, we need to find out which of the two positions is the correct one. Havent had enough of vectors yet? Lets define a few more:

- the direction vector of the bus (points into driving direction)
- direction the pole would face if it was attached at
(points from
to
)
- direction the pole would face if it was attached at
(points from
to
)

Using the dot product, we can easily find out if

and one of the pole vectors are facing into about the same direction (> 0) or the opposite direction (< 0). We are specifically looking for the pole vector that faces in the opposite direction of

, so our conditions would look like this:

- If that condition is true,
is the correct pole-wire-attachment coordinate.
- If that condition is true,
is the correct pole-wire-attachment coordinate.

Rendering the Trolley Poles

Uh, that was a lot of math! Now that we know where the pole is attached on the bus (

) and where the pole is attached to the wire (either

), it is possible to render the pole in the correct position and rotation. As we learned, a trolleybus has two poles (otherwise the electrical circuit would be incomplete), so we will just repeat the same steps to draw the second pole. And now you know what kind of stuff goes on behind the scenes to render the poles! Of course, in order to make trolleybuses realistic, this was just one small portion of the overall work that was needed!

The last shift of the evening. Once again, we've reached the end of a Dev Diary. We hope that you liked this insight into the development of Cities: Skylines and that we didnt scare you with all the formulas! Gotta say, the end result is really mesmerizing. We could just watch the buses circle around for hours! What do you guys think about the trolleybuses? Until next time, city-builders! Your Colossal Order dev team

Sunset Harbor Dev Diary #1

Greetings fellow city-builders! It's time to tune into another series of the beloved Cities: Skylines Dev Diaries! As you already know, the next expansion for Cities: Skylines, was announced on the 19th of March. In the upcoming days, we are going Sunset Harbor to take a more detailed look at all the cool features we have been working on. But first, let's start by going over what the Sunset Harbor expansion is all about and the types of new features it introduces. If you haven't already checked out the trailer, you can follow the link here or watch it below. [previewyoutube=Q5J9DrVruoU;full][/previewyoutube] Cities: Skylines Sunset Harbor DLC is an expansion that, instead of improving only on a single aspect of the game, brings with it a multitude of features that address several different things. We start off these Dev Diaries here by introducing one of the key features of this , the highly sought-after expansion addition of Fishing Industry that will surely liven up the shorelines of your cities! In future Dev Diaries, we will be introducing the improved and extended mass transit options as well as the expanded Waste Transfer System, Inland Water Treatment and Healthcare city services. To top it off, we introduce a new and amazing Unique Building, cool new maps, policies and miscellaneous improvements, because we all know you can't have an expansion without them! This expansion is simply going to take your cities to the next level. Our new maps are designed with the new Sunset Harbor features in mind. They offer challenges in the shape of sewage treatment management, provide good opportunities for fishing industry activities, and showcase memorable landscapes to build cities on. The paid part of this DLC allows you to expand on Waste Management with the Waste Transfer System, offer your citizens new mass transit options with Trolleybuses, Passenger Helicopters and Intercity Buses, and have them all utilize new Transport Hubs. The free part of this DLC, includes a majorly overhauled metro system. You can now adjust the height of metro tracks, which means tracks and stations can be underground, street level, or even above ground on elevated platforms! Included in the free content update are also the new Healthcare facilities. After building them, you may notice more children being born in the city and some citizens living slightly longer than others. Now that the general introductions are out of the way, it's time we roll up our sleeves and dive right into the fish puns. Actually, let's try to keep those to the minimum.

What fish-tastic news!

Adding life and meaning to the vast shorelines, Fishing Industry is a new addition to the industry selection of Cities: Skylines. It is a type of industry separate from the Industries DLC and neither production chain requires the other in order to function. In Sunset Harbor, you take control of the fishing industry in the city and can manage it from simple fishing route planning all the way to final commercial production. You build fishing boat harbors, plan fishing routes for different types of boats and nurture fish farms on the shoreline (preferably away from polluted waters). The fish yield from these is then delivered to either Fish Markets in the city or to the Fish Factory, where the fish is turned into canned fish and delivered to grocery stores for increased profit.

You can locate the new Fishing Industry features under the same construction menu as Garbage, on it's own Fishing Industry tab. A Fishing Industry Info View was also added to the (already long) list of Info Views. It can be used to determine what types of fish live in the waters surrounding the city. The Info View shows fish types, water pollution, and existing fishing routes in different colors and also highlights the fishing industry buildings. The Outside View shows fish types, water pollution, and existing fishing routes in different colors and also highlights the fishing industry buildings. Connections Info View now also highlights fish resources, but keep in mind that fish can only be exported!

The Fishing Industry Info View provides valuable information about water pollution, fish types, fishing routes and fishing buildings.

It's time to go fish!

After reaching milestone 3, Fishing Industry unlocks and you are able to cast your first nets! In the beginning, you can build a non-specialized Fishing Boat and define fishing routes for the boats it houses. The has two built-Harbor Fishing Harbor comes with a built-in road, similar to other harbor buildings, and it in fishing route nodes ready: one for outgoing boats and one for incoming boats. From these points, you can create the route with a special fishing route tool. Draw the route as you see fit, and connect the route to the other node on the same harbor to close it. The route shape and length is entirely up to you, and multiple fishing routes can overlap each other!

The world is my oyster. With a completed fishing route and a functioning Fishing Harbor, fishing boats are sent out to catch fish automatically. The boats can catch any type of fish, but the catch rate is only moderate and the storage capacity is low (it keeps the fishing industry running but doesn't give much of a boost to the city's economy). A boat's speed is determined by its current action: when it is catching fish, it moves slower. When it is at full capacity and returning to harbor, it Caught fish can either be exported or transported with Fish Trucks to a Fish Market and sold directly to consumers.moves faster. As the combined fish yield from all of the city's fishing boat harbors increases, further Fishing Harbor unlocks become available. With careful fishing route planning, this process can be significantly sped up. Fishing boat harbors unlocked later all come with their own fishing boats, each dedicated to a certain type of fish. The of these specialized boats is high, but they catch fish only when sailing in an area that contains the type of fish catch rate and capacity specific to them. If the fishing boat's route passes through areas that only contain the wrong type of fish, they won't catch anything. Fishing route efficiency can be seen by selecting the harbor and opening the building panel.

Fishing boats catching fresh fish for the morning markets in the sunset. The first Fish Farm unlocks at city milestone 5, allowing you to grow and gather higher yields of fish. Further Fish Farm unlocks are tied to the overall fish yield of the city's fish farms, much like with Fishing Harbors. Fish Farms are an alternative way to gather fish and also make it possible to farm seaweed and algae. Fish Farms are a more efficient way to gain high yields of fish and sea plants, but their stationary nature makes them particularly vulnerable to water pollution. Fish Farms work well in small lakes however, where creating efficient fishing routes is not feasible. Fish Farms operate on growth cycles, which can be seen by selecting the farm. During the cycle, the meter fills up. Once it is full, the building is ready to send its yield to either a Fish Factory or Fish Market. If neither a factory nor a market exists, the fish is exported out of the city. As mentioned, water pollution affects fish yields in the polluted area. With boats, the catch rate decreases as water pollution increases, until finally they stop catching fish entirely. You need to either remove the pollution from the water or plot new fishing routes that circumvent the polluted waters. With fish farms, cultivation stops immediately if any pollution is present.

Note to self: Fish Farms and Sewage Outlets don't mix well.

How much is the fish?

So, how do we know what types of fish thrive in which conditions? In short, fish type is determined by the depth and flow of water. Sunset Harbor features 4 types of fish, all of which prefer different conditions. Anchovies thrive in still, shallow waters, salmon prefer shallow water with a flow, shellfish require deep and still waters, and tuna need deep, flowing water. This means one single map might not always have the required conditions for all types of fish. Fishing Boat Harbors and Fish Farms have a limited capacity for storing fish, so in order to gain profit, the fish needs to be transported by Fish Trucks to either a Fish Factory, where the raw food material is processed into goods, or to a Fish Market where the raw food material is sold directly to citizens. Direct monetary compensation from fishing is received from Fish Factories and Fish Markets when their products are sold to the end users or exported. But monetary compensation is not the only benefit these buildings offer: the Fish Market gives surrounding citizens a health benefit and entertainment. In the budget panel, you can inspect how the fishing industry is performing, how much running the industry costs, and how much profit it generates. Happy fishing! Sunset Harbor will hit the stores on the , and we are hooked on a feeling of excitement about this expansion! To help the wait, tune in for 26th of March more Dev Diaries published here every day. We hope to see you on the next one, where we will show you the kinds of new public transportation options we have to offer!

Paradox Launcher update - v2020.1

Hey City Builders! Coming to you today with a very small, but important update. We just released a patch for our launcher, which greatly reduced its loading time for players using Steam Workshop mods. Like I said... it's short and on point ;) Stay creative! Stay awesome!

[ 2020-01-28 16:57:44 CET ] [ Original post ]

Version 1.12.3

Fix for Campus DLC: Campus Area buildings that are snapped to paths do not create University Efficiency for the city
Fix for Modern City center DLC: Updated MCW2W 14 buildings' materials and removed color bug causing a bluish tint where it should be white
Fixed: Custom Map Theme list only shows themes for the first map
Fixed: Unable to load/start game on Lagoon Shore map
Paradox Launcher implemented

So here's the deal: We know that nobody likes having to click a couple extra buttons to play the game, but we've given it a LOT of thought and we have some solid reasons why we want a launcher [olist]

Looking for a sale for some expansions but you hate social media? (Or don't follow us, which makes us sad) Now you'll be able to see big sales straight from the launcher

It enables us to share exciting community announcements, news, updates, etc. with much more ease. Especially if you give us marketing permissions so we can send you an occasional cool email

In the future we'll be able to manage giveaways ;) more on that later

It facilitates account creations, which helps us understand our players better. Meaning, we can make the game better!

A bunch of other planned features that are all about making things better for you

And for full transparency, there is some important data that we get out of this. Like better tracking on how many people are playing. Which means our Community team gets more money, which we then get to spend on giveaways, contests, supporting modders and YouTubers and Streamers, and other great stuff that I can't spoil the surprise for ;) [/olist] Additional comments, in response to your feedback: "We appreciate the feedback. We are listening, and we're working hard to make sure this launcher benefits players. Again, we have solid reasons to implement a launcher, which will result in a better game experience for players in the future =) I promise you that I personally think that some people are over exaggerating the launcher's advertisement purposes. We tell Cities players about Cities content. However, we respect your opinions and welcome your feedback on what you do and don't want to see. I encourage you to make your voice heard! I'd hope you can do it without so many hearts though And I'm going to put a stop to one false rumor. This has nothing to do with taking private info. We get some basic telemetry, but we're not installing spyware.

In Part 2 they look at the other 6 tools; Priority Signs, Timed Traffic Lights, Junction Restrictions, Speed Limits, and Vehicle and Parking Restrictions. CAUTION: As a very demanding mod, it may slow down your game. With so many functions it is very CPU intensive, so please take this into consideration if trying it out for the first time. This, among many other contributing factors, is why these features are not part of the game, but rather an optional mod for PC users.

Traffic Manager Part 1 with ConflictNerd and LinuxFan

https://youtu.be/wxqCBGT2lgs Become the president of your traffic with this guide of Traffic Manager by ConflictNerd and LinuxFan. In Part 1 they look at the first 6 tools Switch Traffic Lights, Manual Traffic Lights, Lane Arrows, Lane Connector, Despawning, and Clear Traffic. CAUTION: As a very demanding mod, it may slow down your game. With so many functions it is very CPU intensive, so please take this into consideration if trying it out for the first time. This, among many other contributing factors, is why these features are not part of the game, but rather an optional mod for PC users. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=583429740 Watch more from Dylan HERE!

https://www.instagram.com/cities_skylines_official/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello there, city-builders! Now it's time to take a look at new maps and policies coming with the Campus expansion.

Maps

Cities: Skylines - Campus features five new and exciting maps for you to build your city in. Murky Coast is divided by two rivers that briefly join together only to be separated once more before flowing into the wide, open coastal waters of the area. Maybe the fresh, a bit salty air is what a newly founded campus area needs to flourish? Perhaps this is the spot where the first ever campus area in Cities: Skylines will rise? Who knows!

Murky Coast. Nestled in the mountains and away from the rest of the world but still with all the adequate connections to neighboring cities, Wolf Creek looks like a haven for a flourishing college or university town. Beautiful natural vistas, steep cliffs and the Nordic atmosphere fills anyone with fresh, new ideas and the enthusiasm to carry them out.

Wolf Creek. Northwood Hills make history really come to life. Interesting terrain topography, old, dried up riverbeds and rolling hills challenge anyone settling a new city in the area but also bring great possibilities to anyone willing to harness the untamed power of these natural formations.

Northwood Hills. In Marin Bay you break ground on an island smack in the middle of a bay leading to open waters. After making the most out of the limited building space on the island, you can start expanding your city along the bay shores. In the south, you'll have relatively flat land before it starts climbing up towards the hills while in the north you'll come across interesting smaller bays and a river breaking the landmass to smaller sections. Bridges come in handy when building new suburbs and commercial areas.

Marin Bay. Roslyn Peninsula is a large landmass that extrudes from the mainland and into the ocean with a mountain range running through it from north to west like a spine. Featuring small but lush forests, palm tree decorated sandy beaches and few larger islands off the coast, Roslyn Peninsula is a great place to found a city and build a world-renowned campus. What's not to like about going to school in a tropical paradise, right?

Campus Policies

With campuses comes a collection of campus-specific policies. These policies enhance the campus life in various ways. Healthy student is a happy student! It's important to take care of the student populace in your campus because if the students are sick, who's going to create all those fancy Academic Works and bring fame to your campus and city. Student Healthcare policy brings free healthcare to all students studying on campus. At a small extra cost in campus upkeep, your students are healthy as a chirper on a summer day! School food quality is always a topic for discussion. Whether it's too much bread, too rubbery potatoes or not enough salad options, there doesn't seem to be a good consensus among the debaters. Regardless of what is on offer during lunch, Free Lunch policy makes sure that everyone gets to eat it for free! And hey! It's always better to study on a full stomach than not (according to a little known Babylonian proverb)! It's going to cost the campus but it's one of those quality of life improvements that can make all the difference. Ever wanted to go on a lecture by some famous academic mind? Well, now you (or, well, your students) have that exact chance! When the policy Visiting Scholars is active, the campus invites great thinkers, scientists and professionals of different fields of study to teach in the faculties. This'll give the faculties a great boost in their city-wide bonuses. But on the flip side, it does cost quite a lot, as well. Who said experts were cheap, right? And finally, the campus policy that has been debated more than anything else in the history of education. Will you shun away from it or will you embrace it? Will you put your students' best interests before your city? Or is the city's budget closer to your heart? Universal Education is a loaded concept. On one hand, everyone gets a chance to gain the best possible education. On the other hand, students won't pay tuition fee and it will strain the city's budget quite a bit. It's the antithesis of for-profit schools. Good thing is, with the Campus expansion, you'll be able to try out both: completely free education for all as well as turning the campuses into purely for-profit institutions where the entire upkeep is covered by tuition fees. It's your choice! You have the power!

City Policies

Cities: Skylines - Campus comes with few city policies, as well. For-profit Education encompasses all education buildings in your city (or district). When you need to cut back costs and share the burden with your citizens, this is the policy to use. When it's active, all students are required to pay for studying, even in elementary schools! It'll cut the education building upkeep in half while still keeping the student capacity at the same level as before. But it also reduces citizen happiness a lot. With the addition of the new education building type, the Public Library, you can host Book Fairs. Book fairs are fun! You'll discover new authors and buy some good books, hear great talks about all things books and can discuss endlessly whether the book was really better than the film version. Book fairs increase citizen wellbeing in the Public Library's radius and also entertainment in the surrounding areas. So, what do you think? Do you already have plans for campus areas in your cities? Will you continue your established cities and build a new campus in one of them or will you delve into the new maps and make a fresh start with far-reaching plans for your next city? Write down below what your future plans are! See you in the next dev diary, city-builders!

https://www.instagram.com/cities_skylines_official/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello there, city-builders! This time it's all about sports, sports, sports! Nothing brings the whole student body together and builds team spirit like cheering the school's own team to victory in a sports match. Varsity sports is an important aspect of campus life, defining the entire Greek life experience for many students. In Cities: Skylines - Campus, the varsity team is the principal athletic team representing the campus in various types of sports. These teams compete against similar teams from other educational institutions from other cities and bring fame and fortune to their hometown and school if they succeed. Varsity season coincides with the academic year during which the campus' varsity team plays in multiple matches both at their home arenas and away. If the team is successful, it is awarded with a trophy at the end of the academic year.

Varsity Sports Arenas

Varsity sports wouldn't be anything without proper varsity sports arenas. Included in the Campus expansion are 5 different varsity arenas: Aquatics Center, Basketball Arena, Track and Field Stadium, Baseball Park and American Football Stadium. The campus varsity team can represent in any of these sports types if the arena is located inside the campus.

Batter up! A baseball game is underway and the stands are filled with excited crowd. The varsity sports arenas are grand buildings and while some are indoor arenas, some are actually open air stadiums. When a match is underway, you can take a closer look and see athletes competing in these arenas. And if you allocate funds to cheerleading, you can even see the cheerleaders performing their routine, increasing the home team's chances of winning. Now that's cool! Varsity sports arenas can be placed outside campus areas, too. However, when placed outside they don't host the campus' varsity team but instead one of the city's possible sports teams, similar to how Football Stadiums work in the Match Day expansion. Also, varsity sports arenas are not unique and there can be multiple arenas inside and outside of the campuses.

Varsity Team Customization

Once you have placed one of the varsity sports arenas inside your campus, you can head over to the Campus Info panel. From there selecting the tab "Varsity Sports" allows you to customize your campus' team as you see fit. You are able to select a team identity, the color of their jersey, ticket price for matches as well as funding for cheerleading and coaching staff. Team identity refers to the team's name and the mascot that comes with it. There are 7 identities to choose from, such as Spartans, Chirpers and Eagles. Each identity also affects the billboards on the varsity sports arenas, changing the logo graphic to match that of the chosen team identity. The team logo is also present in the billboards around the city if the varsity sports policy for ads is switched on. When you select a team identity, you'll also get a mascot with it. These mascots can be seen walking around campus areas. For example, choosing the Spartans identity, the mascot in question is dressed in a spartan soldier uniform. Choosing the Chirpers identity changes the mascot to the blue bird everyone loves! What's more unifying in sports than representing the colors of your team? That's why choosing the color for the team jersey also affects the clothes' color on the people in the stands cheering the home team.

The Chirpers logo. There are seven different varsity sports team identities to choose from. The identity comes with a logo, a mascot and a customizable team jersey color. In the Varsity Sports customization you are also able to affect the match ticket price. The lower the price, the more people are willing to visit the arenas during match days. Allocating funding for cheerleading and hiring more coaching staff increase the team's chances of winning the matches. Varsity sports policies also play their role in the matches.

Varsity Sports panel where you are able to customize the team and check various stats about it.

Varsity Sports Matches

As mentioned above, the varsity team plays in both home and away matches. Home matches gather citizens to the arenas to watch and cheer the team to victory. Ticket income is given to you, the player, and the amount of visitors in the arenas directly affects the chances of winning for the home team. Of course, sports events are popular in the city so be prepared to manage traffic and create good connections to your arenas so that as many people reach the arenas as possible. If you have open air arenas on your campuses, you can see the teams competing in these sports during varsity sports match days as well as cheerleaders leading the crowd in a cheer. Very exciting! Certain varsity sports options don't affect the outcome of away matches. For example, cheerleading doesn't have an effect in an away match since it's the other team's cheerleaders who are performing their routine in their home arena. Also, ticket income from away matches isn't given to the player and visitor numbers don't increase the chances of winning the away match because most of the visitors are from the other team's hometown. However, coaching staff is as important as during home matches as is the support from the varsity team's fan club.

Trophies

What are sports without trophies? Pretty lame, that's what! But don't worry, we got you covered! There are multiple matches during an academic year. Some of these are home matches, some away matches. If you team wins 80% or more of these matches, they are awarded a trophy. Like one of those they give to the playoff champions. Trophies are not just nice to have. They also provide the campus with boost to its attractiveness. However, the boost is not permanent and degrades over time. Who wants to be a supporter of a team that won a trophy way back when, anyway? So, to keep winning in campus life you need to keep winning in varsity sports! Each sports type has its own chance to win a trophy, so you can have a swimming trophy, a baseball trophy, a basketball trophy and so on, each contributing to the fame of your campus. Remember that each campus can have their own teams, so there is a possibility to win quite a few trophies!

Varsity Sports Policies

As mentioned above, varsity sports has its own policies. These policies are meant to allow greater control to achieve the best possible results in the various campus sports events during the academic year. Different policies have different effects and some work only during home matches. Fan Club Support sounds exactly what it is. The varsity team works together with the fans and with funding from the campus (that means you) they are able to give out free fan merchandise to the fans to increase their spirit and continuing support of the team during matches. The fan club also organizes trips for the most dedicated fans to away games so that the campus team has fan support even when they travel far and away. Advertisement Campaign's goal is to get as many people to the arenas on match days as possible. The campus pays for billboard advertisement and when this policy is active, you can see the campus team's logo decorating many of the commercial zone buildings.

When the Advertisement Campaign policy is active, you can see the varsity team billboards appear on the billboards in commercial zones. Sponsorship Deals is the bread and butter of any sports team: a few ads on the jerseys here and there and a couple of billboards selling donuts and noodle soup worth around the arenas. No big deal! With this policy the multitude of billboards decorating the arenas with the team's logo are turned into advertisement billboards that feature the local businesses' brand graphics. In exchange for renting ad space for the different companies, the businesses are willing to offset a portion of the campus' varsity team expenses. Not a bad deal if you can look at a BigBite and a Go Nuts Doughnuts advertisement from time to time!

The Sponsorship Deal policy changes the arena billboards from the team logo to the various in-game brands, from Go Nuts Doughnuts to Yakisoba Noodles and more.

Coaching Staff and Cheerleaders

The varsity team has a base chance of 30% to win a varsity match, both at home and away. In addition to the visitor numbers and some of the policies affecting the match outcome, also the coaching staff plays an important part in increasing the chances to win. You can use a slider in the Varsity Sports tab to hire (and fire) coaching staff as you see fit and if it suits your current city budget. Coaching staff members increase the odds by 1% per staff member. However, similar to academic staff, the effect of hiring coaches is not instant. It takes time for the coaches to feel at home with the new team and as the team comes together, the coaching staff members' effect increases. This, of course, means that there are going to be matches where the coaches are not in their prime because the varsity sports match mechanic is on-going throughout the entire academic year. Funding cheerleading increases the chances for the home team to win the varsity sports matches. Cheerleaders cheer the team and lead the crowd in a supporting chant to boost team morale. The higher the funding is, the better the cheerleaders are in their performance and the bigger the boost for the team. It's good to remember that cheerleaders can't affect only the home games. And in addition to the increased chance of winning a varsity sports match, cheerleaders also increase the campus attractiveness. How was that for a new feature! I gotta tell you, I do love the customization options we have in varsity sports. And it's so cool to see your team's logo on a billboard in the city! Not to mention seeing the mascots going around on campus. It's great! What do you guys think about this? How about those new arenas? I think my personal favorite is either the baseball park or the football stadium. And it's great to see the stands filled with people cheering for the team during matches! Awesome! Until next time, city-builders!

https://www.instagram.com/cities_skylines_official/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello there, city-builders! It's time to talk about what the academic year is, what kind of events happen during it and also take a look at the very special campus unique buildings, the faculties. The academic year is an integral part of education and in Cities: Skylines - Campus we have also included it as part of the campus life. Most of the action happens during the year and the results can be seen in a special Academic Year Report that is published after every academic year coinciding with the graduation ceremony.

Academic Year

Academic year represents the time span, 40-week long cycle, after which students graduate and new academic works are created. At the end of the academic year the campus holds a graduation ceremony and the player is presented with the Academic Year Report listing all the things achieved by students and varsity sports team as well as all the events that happened during the year. During the academic year the player is able to hire academic staff to increase the odds of creating Academic Works at the end of the year and the earlier the staff is hired, the higher the chances are to create Academic Works. The academic year progress bar can be seen in the Campus Info panel. When the year ends and if the player has built a Commencement Office on campus grounds, a visible graduation ceremony is held on the building lot. After reading through the Academic Year Report, you are able to take a look at students throwing their academic caps in air in celebration of receiving their degrees. If your city has multiple campuses the academic year cycle synchronizes with the first one.

Academic Year Report

Academic Year Report collects all the details of the previous academic year. Here you can see how the student amount changed, how campus attractiveness was affected by your campus management choices and how many Academic Works were created. Also, reputation change is recorded here also, the report showing the current reputation level as well as the previous level.

Academic Year Report lists details about the school year, such as student numbers and Academic Works created. All of the Academic Works that were created at the end of the academic year are listed below the basic statistics with icons for which categories they belong to as well as a description of what the works are. If your campus varsity sports team has been successful during the year and won most of its matches, it'll get a trophy at the end of the year. These trophies are also recorded in the Academic Year Report per sport type. Each trophy gives a campus attractiveness boost that lasts for the next two years.

School Events

During and after the academic year, there are several events happening on campus. Most visible, of course, is the graduation ceremony where students receive their degrees after years of hard study and to massive student loans. After you receive the Academic Year Report, head over to the Commencement Office building and take a look at the plucky young people, ready to face whatever the world throws at them!

A group of students receiving their degrees during the graduation ceremony held in front of the Commencement Office. What would the Greek life be without the appropriate parties, right? So, get the linen cloth ready for some fabulous toga party fun! Every now and then the students on campus hold toga parties, turning the the school into a campus-wide party zone. You can see people walking in togas around campus. Of course, some side effects might occur such as trashed campus flowerbeds, broken bottles and egged buildings and thus making the campus groundskeeping crew work extra hours increasing campus upkeep for the duration. But in the end it's all harmless fun so party on! If your campus has invested in varsity sports arenas, you can host varsity league matches where your team competes against other varsity teams from other cities. In addition to hosting home matches in your own arenas, your team will also travel outside your city and play in away matches. When hosting matches it's good to make sure that road connections to the arenas are in excellent order so that visitors can travel to the matches with ease and cheer the home team to victory. The more people that visit the arenas on varsity sports match days, the higher the chances for victory are.

Unique Faculties

Faculties are a new type of unique building. These massive education facilities are divided into three campus types, each reflecting the nature of its campus. They represent the various academic majors in the world of education and are each visually distinct from each other. Trade School faculties include the Police Academy, School of Tourism and Travel and School of Engineering.

Trade School faculties: Police Academy, School of Tourism and Travel and School of Engineering. Liberal Arts College steers more towards humanities with its faculties. These include School of Education, School of Environmental Studies and School of Economics.

Liberal Arts College faculties: School of Education, School of Environment Studies and School of Economics. University faculties focus on bettering the society as a whole, decreasing crime with School of Law, influencing citizen healthcare with School of Medicine and pushing technology forward with School of Science.

University faculties: School of Law, School of Medicine and School of Science. Faculties are campus buildings first and foremost. They function as an education building similar to other campus educational building but also increase campus attractiveness. Their most special feature, however, is the city-wide faculty bonus they give when built. Each faculty influences one aspect of the city management, from boosting education to affecting crime and increasing income from various zones and more. Faculties are large and expensive buildings but due to their bonuses, definitely worth investing in. They are also visually grand and elevate any campus area to new heights when built. So, what do you guys think about the academic year and the unique faculties? The bonuses are quite powerful and can really affect the city in a positive way but to unlock them requires work and their upkeep balances the boost they give. Do you have any favorite faculties so far? Write down below and keep the discussion going! See you next time, city-builders!

LIve Q&A on Instagram after the Stream!

https://www.instagram.com/cities_skylines_official/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello there, city-builders! This time we are going to talk about reputation! Campus area reputation is an important aspect of managing a campus. Reputation level dictates which campus buildings, how much tuition fee the students are paying and how many exchange students are currently visiting the city.

Increasing reputation

Reputation has three building blocks: Academic Works, campus attractiveness and the amount of students studying on the campus and each reputation level has increasing requirements that need to be met for the campus to level up in reputation. Also, for the first time in Cities: Skylines, the campus can also lose reputation if you can't fulfill the requirements of the campus' current level! Academic Works are created using certain statistical chances dependent on student amount and the size of academic staff. Campus attractiveness is increased by expanding the campus and placing different campus buildings such as education buildings (study halls, auditoriums and laboratories), supplementary buildings (club houses, statues, cafeterias and libraries) and faculties. Student capacity is affected by education buildings and the amount of eligible students is directly linked to the size of the city. To make sure not to overshoot by expanding too fast, it is good idea to keep an eye on the amount of eligible students in your city so that when you reach a certain reputation level, you are able to have enough students studying on your campus so that the reputation level doesn't decrease in the future.

Bonuses from increasing campus reputation

Reputation levels unlock new campus buildings and a higher reputation level also increases the amount of tuition fee students are paying to the school (that means YOU!) - unless you opt for the Universal Education policy where the students don't pay any tuition fee regardless of the campus reputation level. Tuition fee increases per reputation level and if you manage your campus wisely and add in the trophy rewards from a successful varsity team, you might even turn your campus into a profitable institution where the the income exceeds the expenses! It's great! Higher levels also increase exchange student amount visiting the city and they then contribute to the city's overall tourism boost for commercial zones the city gets when it receives tourists.

The requirements for increasing the campus reputation level. Also shown in the Campus Info panel is the amount of tuition fee the students are paying. Tuition fee size is connected to the campus reputation level.

Academic Works

Academic Works are the coveted end products of studies on a campus and are part of the requirements to increase the campus' reputation level. Each campus type has its own Academic Works reflecting the nature of the campus. Trade School's Academic Works focus on artisanry, hospitality and information technology and engineering while Liberal Arts College produces literature, cinematography and musical works. Dissertations, discoveries and scientific studies are the bread and butter of the University campus. When an Academic Work is created, the type of work is defined by the campus type and the category is selected randomly from those mentioned above. Academic Works are created at the end of the academic year. While the creation is an automatic process, you, the player, have the chance to influence the odds of creating Academic Works. The campus has a base chance of 30% to create an Academic Work at the end of the academic year. This chance can be increased by hiring more academic staff to help the students write their theses and guide them towards graduation and creating their most influential works. Also, certain campus buildings also increase the chances. The number of Academic Works per year is related to the amount of students studying on campus at the end of the academic year. For each 500 students the campus has a chance to create one Academic Work, up to maximum 4 Academic Works per year. Hiring academic staff happens in the Campus Info panel. Here you can use the Academic Staff slider to hire additional staff members who increase the chances of creating Academic Works by 2% per staff member (the campus comes with 5 academic staff members without an extra cost). However, note that the effect isn't instantaneous. The effect increases from 0% to 2% over time and if you fire academic staff and then re-hire them again, the process starts from the beginning. So, in order to get the maximum chance of creating Academic Works, hire staff members early in the academic year!

Academic Works created on the campus are shown listed in the Academic Works tab in the Campus Info panel. Here you can also hire additional academic staff to increase the chances of creating Academic Works and give research grants to specific types of works. In addition to the maximum of 4 Academic Works per academic year, you are able to give a research grant to fund the creation of one extra Academic Work. This Academic Work has the chance of 100% to be created and you can also choose which category it belongs to. For example, if you have a Liberal Arts College campus in your city, you can choose between literature, cinematography or music. Academic Works can be viewed in the Campus Info panel under the Academic Works tab. Each work is listed here with a description of the nature of the work. Later, when your campus reaches the highest reputation level "Prestigious", you unlock the unique museum where the Academic Works are on display.

Museums

Science Center is the museum of the University campus. Here are stored and on display all the Academic Works created on the University campus. Museums are new unique buildings. Each campus type has its own museum but unlike campus buildings, museums can be built anywhere, inside and outside of campus areas. When the campus reaches the highest reputation level "Prestigious", its museum is unlocked. Museums can be found in their own tab in the Education build menu. Just like other unique buildings, Museums increase the attractiveness of the city. Academic Works created in the campus of the same type and on display in the museum increase the museum's base attractiveness. For example, dissertations, discoveries and scientific studies created in the University campus and on display in the Science Center increase the Science Center's attractiveness, one point per Academic Work, which in turn increases the city's overall attractiveness.

The Museum Info panel shows you all the Academic Works on display in the museum.

Exchange Students

The amount of exchange students visiting the city is determined by the reputation level of the campus. If there are multiple campuses in the city, their effect on the amount of exchange students stack up, according to their reputation levels. Exchange students are part of the overall tourism population visiting the city. You can check how many exchange students there are out of all tourists by taking a look at the Tourism infoview. Exchange students contribute to the positive economic effect of tourism to commercial zones.

In the Tourism infoview you can now see also the percentage of exchange students from the tourist population. Once again, we've reached the end of a dev diary. But let's keep the discussion going! What do you guys think about the Academic Works? Or the connection of the Academic Works and the museums and the boost they give to the buildings? We feel that the campus reputation is an interesting and dynamic feature that keeps the player on their toes. Once the expansion is out, we'll be interested to hear how your campuses evolved and leveled up (and down) in reputation as your cities progressed! Until next time, city-builders!

Campus Dev Diary #1: Campus Areas by Colossal Order

Hello there, city-builders! Cities: Skylines - Campus, the latest expansion to the game, was announced on the 9th of May and now it's time to take a closer look into what features it includes. The previous Dev Diary worked as a quick introduction to the expansion. Check it out, if you haven't already, and you'll get a nice overview of what it's all about! So, Campus Areas. What's it all about? Well, it's about education! A great city needs an equally great and awesome-looking campus to match. The Campus Areas use the same area creating mechanics as Parklife and Industries. You can paint Campus Areas using the Campus Area tool and assign a campus type of your choosing by placing campus buildings inside the area, from campus Administration Buildings to dormitories, study halls, club houses and unique faculties. There are three types of campuses: Trade School, Liberal Arts College and University, each with their own, distinct visual style and unique faculties which provide the city with various bonuses.

Creating a Campus Area

The new Campus buildings can be found in expanded Education menu where each campus type (as well as varsity sports and museums) has its own sub-menu. Each campus type has a collection of buildings that can be divided into 4 categories: the Administration Building which defines the campus type, Education buildings, Supplementary buildings and Unique Faculties. Education buildings mainly increase the campus area's student capacity. Some Supplementary buildings also increase student capacity but also affect land value and add to the campus attractiveness, tourism attractiveness and Academic Works created on campus. Finally, the Unique Faculties give specific city-wide bonuses while also increasing the campus' student capacity. Campus building do not spawn but are placed next to a road or campus path inside the campus area. The ability to place campus buildings alongside paths gives you that extra freedom to create nice-looking campuses where green areas and the various buildings connect seamlessly. The campus Administration Building works as a hub for all city services and therefore is the only building that has to be placed next to a road in order for the city services to be able to reach it. It all starts with the Campus Area tool when you are creating a campus area. In the same tried and true way of painting districts, parks and industry areas, you paint a campus area in the shape of your choosing. The Campus Area tool can be found in the Districts and Areas menu. The newly created campus area doesn't have a type, it is just a generic "Campus Area". To change this and make the area functional, you need to place an Administration Building. Each campus type has its own Administration Building which defines the campus area type. Once the Administration Building is placed, the campus area has a type and it starts to function as a university level education institution.

Painting a campus area From here on, you can start placing the campus type-specific buildings to increase the campus' student capacity and attractiveness as well as using the campus policies to further customize how your campus functions and creating Academic Works. As your campus meets the requirements to level up in reputation, you unlock more different campus buildings.

Campus Types

There are three campus types: Trade School, Liberal Arts College and University. The basic functionality for all three is the same; they all educated young adults into highly educated citizens. However, each campus type comes with its own Unique Faculties that provide the city with various city-wide bonuses. Each campus type also creates its own Academic Works and unlocks its own unique museum where the Academic Works created on the campus can be put on display. Trade School is all about the practical studies such as information technology, engineering, hospitality and artisanry. When you need something actual done, these are the folks to do the job. If clothing, fashion, video games and digital entertainment in general as well as new and exciting services and technologies are your thing, Trade School is the way to go. The students are focused on improving the quality of life, bringing into existence exciting new projects such as new ways to build buildings (it's all about 3D printing!) and providing tasty take-away food.

Trade School campus. The glass-domed administration building calls back to the ancient Pantheon-esque design while most of the other buildings represent modernist architecture from the mid-20th century Liberal Arts College is where the artist flourishes. The campus focuses on creative endeavors such as film making, literature and music with pedagogy, economics and environmental studies mixed in with good measure. Will the next great writer or film maker come from your college? Is the next platinum record awarded to an album composed within these walls? But Liberal Arts College is not only about creativity and culture. With its faculties you can affect many aspects of your city, from taxation to recycling.

Liberal Arts College campus. It takes inspiration from the Classical Revival style mixed with hints of modern minimalist as well as the American Renaissance and even Romanesque Revival University is the home of scientific research and discovery. University students create and apply knowledge by thinking and doing, preparing for leadership through rigorous class work with the spirit of exploration, in a rapidly changing world. The staff is led by professors who are leaders in their fields crafting courses that suit the students' unique needs. Perhaps your university will discover the next scientific theory to rival the Theory of General Relativity. Or, perhaps the students come up with a new artificial intelligence able to calculate the right path more efficiently.

University campus. Its architectural style has been influenced by the French neoclassicism with Gothic and Renaissance elements for good measure.

Campus Area Info View

A new Campus Area infoview is included in the Education infoview panel. From there you can easily check the current status of eligible university students in your city as well as the capacity of your campus areas.

Campus area infoview

Campus Budget

Campus budget can be accessed from the Campus Info panel by clicking the campus name. Here you can inspect the expenses from various campus features as well as see if your campus is making any profit. Campus budget is comprised of the upkeep of the campus buildings, campus policies, academic staff wages and varsity sports expenses. Included in the budget is also the possible reward money from varsity sports trophies and the collected tuition fee from students unless you have switched on the policy "Universal Education" which makes the campus education free for all students and doesn't yield any tuition fees. As your campus levels up in reputation, you'll gain more tuition fee per student and if you plan your campus carefully, you can even turn your campus into a for-profit institution. Every campus comes with a base amount of academic staff members. The academic staff works as the backbone for teaching the students and creating Academic Works. You can hire more academic staff to increase the chances of creating Academic Works at the end of the academic year. Hiring staff is quite expensive and the bonus from the hired staff is not instantaneous but increases over time until it reaches its maximum effect. So, keep that in mind when hiring and/or firing staff!

Campus budget can be inspected in the Campus Info panel. Hovering over the "i" icon will reveal a more detailed breakdown of the expenses. Varsity Sports has its own, more detailed breakdown in its own tab

Campus Areas and Your City

Campus areas and universities share the same basic mechanic and stats regarding eligible students and student capacity because they both educate young adults into highly educated citizens. But the major difference is that the campus areas are fully expandable and customizable to your liking and give various bonuses to your city when they reach their full potential. Campuses are a direct continuation of the base game education system and can work in conjunction with the existing school types and levels. Campuses are designed to be on the same education level as the base game university and therefore they can be used to completely replace the university if you so choose. Instead of placing multiple single university buildings in your city, you can now expand one campus with enough student capacity to cover all your high education needs.

Campus areas can become quite large so it's important to make sure you don't run out of space when you start expanding the campus! That's all for now! Do you already have plans for a new campus in one of your cities? Which campus type is your current favorite? Are you planning on making one continuous campus area where everything is found close to each other? Maybe you are going for a more sprawling type where the different campus buildings, dormitories and faculties are nestled within the residential and commercial areas? Tell us about your plans in the comments below! Until next time, city-builders!

How to Build Realistic Tollbooths

Need some more money to build that 6 level spaghetti interchange? Tollbooths, introduced in the Industries expansion, allow you to extract that precious money from your traffic-causing citizens. So follow along as PHTN Gaming shows how to build realistic tollbooths in your city! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vz0sRPekXd0 A toll road, also known as a turnpike or tollway, is a public or private road (almost always a controlled-access highway in the present day) for which a fee (or toll) is assessed for passage. It is a form of road pricing typically implemented to help recoup the cost of road construction and maintenance. For more videos by PHTN Gaming, follow him here!

HxO Water Treatment Tank: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=476962728

---------------------------------------------------------------------- Ground pollution is caused mainly by industry, while the farming and forestry industry specializations don't cause ground pollution at all. Some of the Farm Area and Forestry Area buildings from the Industries DLC do create some pollution. It is also caused by other polluting buildings, such as fossil-fuel power stations and incinerators. Pollution will affect the ground immediately underneath the polluting buildings, as well a small surrounding area. Even if the source of the pollution is removed, it will take some time for the ground to return to an unpolluted state. If non-polluting buildings have uncollected garbage for a long time, they will also pollute the ground. Virtually all buildings produce sewage. Assuming you have have a decent water grid, this sewage causes no issues for any given building, and it instead is transported through the same pipes through which water is brought into the city. Having pipes containing both clean and contaminated water has no negative effect. The pipes should lead to an outflow where the polluted sewage is drained into a body of water. Water drain pipes are the simplest option for this drainage. Water downstream of these outflows will be discolored, indicating its polluted nature. Water pollution and its sources are also viewable in the same info view as for ground pollution. A poorly-positioned pumping station can pump polluted water back into the water supply network, which will make cims sick city-wide. It, therefore, is very important to place drainage pipes downstream of the pump stations. Traffic, industry, commercial zones, and various buildings (such as power plants and unique buildings) cause noise pollution. When placing a building that produces noise, a circle appears showing the area which will be affected by it. On roads, a general rule is "the heavier the traffic, the heavier the noise". Each type of vehicle has a noise pollution rating, so the amount of traffic noise is dependent not only on how much traffic is present on the road, but also on what types of vehicles are present. Large trucks will typically create more noise, while electric cars tend to be fairly quiet. Policies to encourage electric cars or restrict large vehicles can help reduce traffic noise. Biofuel buses have a lower noise rating than standard buses.

By using various brushes, you can paint areas with a specific zone thus enabling that type of building to "grow" and develop. Plopping refers to manually placing buildings and assets in your city. This method gives you much more precision in your city detailing. In this tutorial, Strictoaster shows how to plop down growables, which are buildings that are setup to grow and develop in RCI zoning.

PSA: Tomorrows update will likely render some mods incompatible, please practice patience and know that our modders tend to work tirelessly to update their content

Hey everybody! This is almost entirely a copy/paste from the last few times but it bears repeating! :) Tomorrow it is finally time for us all to enter Cities: Skylines - Industries and along with it, the free update that will be available to ALL players! You can read more about what that will include in today's Dev Diary With this as will likely not come as any surprise to the lot of you this will probably render some mods incompatible, this is nothing unusual but can of course be annoying. To counter this as well as possible we of course have the Modder Beta program in which Content Creators can test and tweak their content for the new patch/expansion early however even so there might be some time until your favourite mod has been updated. Learn more about the modding beta HERE For the safest Cities experience we suggest turning off your mods until they have been updated to match the latest version! Our modders are usually incredibly fast in updating their mods compability however please do practice some patience as the patch launches and please help us in informing your fellow City builders in this! Thank you all so much and we hope you enjoy perfecting your industry tomorrow! :)

Mind your business! We're thrilled to announce our next major expansion, Cities: Skylines - Industries

Cities: Skylines - Industries Inbound on October 23, Along with Synthetic Dawn Radio and New Free Update Captain your own industry in the newest update for the best selling city-builder from Paradox and Colossal Order STOCKHOLM - Oct. 11, 2018 - We're thrilled to announce the next industrial update for Cities: Skylines on PC, Mac and Linux. Industries, launching October 23rd will put one of the games three zones in the spotlight for the first time. First look trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0Z6OQ8kJ5A To help you get a grip on your industry sector we're launching a new tutorial series on YouTube with new videos everyday until launch! https://www.youtube.com/user/Paradoxplaza With this expansion, players can make more meaningful choices in their cities industry by managing their production chains from grain to bread. said Sandra Neudinger, Product Manager from Paradox Interactive. The players have been asking for an industrial expansion for a while, so were excited to finally offer a full featured approach. In one of the most in-depth expansions in Cities: Skylines history, Industry becomes a larger and more meaningful part of the game with this DLC. Players can build unique factories and customize their industrial areas with supply chains for the four different resource types. Well managed industry areas will level up and become more efficient. Aside from production chains, there is a new city service for handling mail and the cargo airport eases import and export of factory goods. There are FIVE new maps, new policies, new city services, new buildings (including resource extractors, manufacturers, warehouses and unique factories) and more. Key Features:

Make It Happen - Follow your products from harvesting to processing, storage and production, then transport them to commercial zones or export to other cities.
Captain Your Own Industry - Define an area with the industry area tool and place highly specialized industrial buildings to build and manage the production chain from raw material extraction up to final end product. Industry Areas are divided into four types based on the natural resource they are processing: Farming, Forest, Ore and Oil. These areas can level up upon reaching productions goals and staffing requirements.
Build it up, Buttercup - New industrial buildings include Extractors, Warehouse Facilities, Processing and Auxiliary Buildings, Industrial Props and Roads. Unique Factories, such as Food, Toy, Furniture, Car and Electronics produce luxury products, and require a large quantity of workers, water and electricity as well as input from your industries.
Ship It - Manage traffic and logistics with industry warehouses and the use of the new Cargo Services including a cargo airport.
Go Postal - Boost your citizens well-being with mail delivery and collection services. Post sorting facilities handle mail between outside connections and the post offices, and new Post Van and Truck vehicles enable the carriage.
Wonk Hard - Three new Industry Policies and four City-wide Policies, including Workers Union, Sorting, Tolls, Wi-Fi, Logistics, Work Safety and Automation.
Five New Maps - Rich in natural resources, transportation options and industrial opportunities, these new maps have all the right stuff.
Four new hats for Chirper!

But wait! Theres more! Coinciding with the Industries expansion, Cities: Skylines is getting a new radio channel and a free content update. Synthetic Dawn Radio is the most far-out radio station to land in-game ever! It features 16 original new songs across four genres: 80s Electro, Vocoding Electro, Breakbeats and Futuristic Synths. Players can tune in and zone out to some stellar tunes as synth-spin master DJ Jessica Statler brings the funk. The free update coming alongside Industries will introduce toll booths (and road tolls, naturally), which will slow traffics roll a bit, but generate extra income for the city. Players will also get the option to mark zoned buildings as historical, preserving their style, and the ability to create custom name lists for citizens, districts and spawned buildings.

And yet, players in the Cities community are the TRUE big content producers, supplying more than 144,000 mods to-date. All sorts of user-generated maps, scenarios and assets are available in the Steam Workshop, for free! Over the past three years, Cities: Skylines fans have definitively proven they can survive Natural Disasters, heavy Snowfall and self-inflicted anarchy of all sorts, but the question looms... can they survive Mars? To celebrate its third birthday and five million milestone, Cities: Skylines players are getting a new unique Rocket City building called Xchirp Launcher, an astronaut Chirper, and a new free radio station - Official Mars Radio! Tune into Mars beginning this Friday, March 9 and jam out to space musical electro songs like Perfect Wave, Mission Stardust, The Return of Sputnik, Moon Zero Two and Aiming for Jupiter.

Based on player feedback we’re now pumping up the volume by adding more ways to increase the effectiveness of the Festival Area. With the update we are adding three new buildings and each of those have certain synergies with the Festival Area and the band performances. We’ve also updated the animations of the crowds who come to enjoy the music! New Buildings There’s three new unique buildings coming with the update for Concerts DLC. Festival Fan Zone Festival fan zone is a place to party, when your citizens for some reason can’t get to the actual festival area. There’s the best speakers in business and big screen to give your people live music- and video feed from the festival area. Merchandise booth makes sure everybody is looking good and food and drink stands are there to keep those party people energized for the whole event. A Festival Fan Zone Increases the concert success chance by 5%.
The Music Club When the festival area is preparing for the next big event, Club C is the hippest place in town to check out big stars and upcoming talent. This old industrial hot spot has found new lease of life under the vibrant music scene of the metropolis. The Music Club increases the ticket sales of the concerts by 10%.
Media Broadcasting Building Those who say radio and tv is dying haven’t visited the brand new high tech Media Broadcasting Building. Non-stop radio programs ensure you are always in the loop what’s happening in the city while biggest names of the small screen are recording their weekly shows in front of live audience in their own high end studios. It’s impressive broadcast tower makes sure everybody knows what’s the main topic of the day in coffee room conversations. A Media Broadcasting Building increases any active Ad Campaign’s effectiveness by 20%.
All of this, as well as the new crowd animations, will be added to the Cities: Skylines - Concerts DLC on October 19th.

Tomorrow we bring Mass Transit to the people! But of course, as is tradition ALL of you will of course be getting an update for free as well! Check out all these nifty things you are getting completely for free! As a general PSA and reminder to those of you who have been with us for some time please be aware and patient to the fact that a major update to the game will likely cause some mods to become incompatible. We are constantly impressed by the dedication of our modders in how quickly they tend to have their mods updated but for the safest experience we would suggest that you turn off your mods on the patch arrival until the mods you use have been updated! Hopefully you will not have to wait for long! We wish you all happy building with Mass Transit and can't wait to see your creations!

Cities: Skylines Goes Clubbing with Real-World Football Clubs and Stadiums City-Building Game Lets Players Build Fields for Football Club Barcelona, Chelsea Football Club, Juventus Football Club and Paris Saint-Germain8

STOCKHOLM – Oct. 18, 2016 — Paradox Interactive, a publisher of goal-oriented games, today announced the addition of several real-world football clubs to the in-game stadiums for Cities: Skylines, available today in a new add-on, “Stadiums: European Club Pack.” Cities: Skylines, the award-winning city-building game from developer Colossal Order, was updated this summer with the ability for players to add sports arenas to their growing digital demesnes. Now, with the European Club Pack, those stadiums can play host to players’ favorite real-life football clubs, taking on the appearance of their home stadiums from the real world. The European Club Pack includes the stadiums, colors, and logos of Football Club Barcelona, Chelsea Football Club, Juventus Football Club, and Paris Saint-Germain, and is available today for $5.99. See the teams taking the in-game fields in a new trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sL_q0ebkIOo The European Club Pack works in concert with the free “Match Day” expansion which was released for free in June 2016, which allows players to build massive sports venues into their cities and reap added revenue while handling the new challenges of game-day traffic. Now, in-game crowds can flock to see their favorite football clubs in action and enjoy a day at the arena in style. Players can pick up the European Club Pack today at (LINK).

Cities: Skylines - Natural Disasters Announcement Trailer

All new Cities: Skylines - Natural Disasters Expansion ANNOUNCED! Mother Nature's back, and she is pissed! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v9IHTlOMW-w Natural Disasters will add a series of city-destroying emergencies to Cities: Skylines, which can occur unexpectedly during the game – or be manually triggered by mayors seeking a challenge or some sort of gruesome, vindictive pleasure. Buildings and infrastructure will be destroyed, fire can spread across locations, and countless lives may be lost unless players implement the right emergency plans and responses and keep an ear on the new radio alert system. Fans of Cities: Skylines will have the chance to overcome everything from massive fires to meteor strikes, and allow their friends to do the same with a new Scenario Mode, where custom challenges can be designed and shared through Steam Workshop. Natural Disasters will include:

Deep, Impactful Gameplay: Keep your city going through the devastation of several possible doomsday scenarios, from towering infernos to the day the sky exploded
With Great Power Comes Great Response Abilities: Plan for, and respond to, disasters using early warning systems, countermeasures, and new disaster responses such as helicopters and evacuations – finally, a Paradox game where “Comet Sighted” actually means something
Radio Saved the Video Game: Citizens can go Radio Ga-Ga with a new broadcast network, helping to rapidly spread evacuation warnings and emergency alerts – or simply relax to new in-game music stations
An Objectively Good Feature: Scenario Mode allows players to design custom game objectives, including custom starting cities, win conditions, time limits, and more – and share scenarios to Steam Workshop Chirpocalypse Now: Heck yeah, new hats for Chirper

Natural Disasters will be available for Cities: Skylines players on Windows, Mac, and Linux PCs this winter.

Cities: Skylines Celebrates One Year with Video Tribute!

STOCKHOLM – Mar. 10, 2016 — Paradox Interactive, a publisher of games that’s run an effective residential campaign, today announced that Cities: Skylines, the award-winning city-building game by Colossal Order, has now sold over two million copies worldwide. Released to critical acclaim one year ago on March 10, 2015, Cities: Skylines has rapidly built a community of over two million players across Windows, Mac, and Linux PCs, setting records at Paradox Interactive for the publisher’s fastest-selling title in company history. To celebrate the game’s one-year anniversary and outstanding success, Paradox will release a free content update for Cities: Skylines later this month, adding new features to the game for all current and future players. See how the community has built up Cities: Skylines in this anniversary video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gjyaaMHe09s&feature=youtu.be “Our team is floored by the response players have had to Cities: Skylines and by the level of success the game has achieved in such a short time,” said Mariina Hallikainen, CEO of Colossal Order. “We knew that trying to create a city-building game with such a small team was an ambitious project, but we’d been working towards that goal ever since the first Cities in Motion title, and we knew, if given the chance, that we could make it happen. A year ago, we achieved that goal, and the results have been nothing short of incredible. We’ve got so much more in store for all two million of our players, and I want to thank each and every one of them.” “The remarkable thing about our fans for Cities: Skylines isn’t just their number, but how active they are in keeping the game growing and changing,” said Fredrik Wester, CEO of Paradox Interactive. “Giving the modding community the keys to our cities has resulted in so much passion and creativity. As of this month there are over 76,000 pieces of mod content on Steam Workshop for Cities: Skylines, from custom buildings to new road designs and beyond. Together with Colossal Order we intend to keep supporting this game and our players with more updates and content of our own for a long time.” Later this month, Cities: Skylines will receive a free content update which will add new features and options for ambitious player-mayors. Players should be formally informed that they can perform mild terraforming on their cities’ formations, to reform former landforms into malformed formats. Canals and quays will also be available for construction, so that Paradox can officially say they have handed over the quays to the city. In addition, Colossal Order will celebrate the game’s anniversary with a party in their own scenic city of Tampere, Finland, the proud home of Chirpy. One lucky player will be invited to join the festivities, winning a trip to Finland, a tour of the Colossal Order office, attendance to the anniversary party, and more. Fans can enter at http://colossalorder.fi/ChirpyContest/ by submitting their best Chirper-related art, poetry, song, game mod, or anything else they are inspired to create. Full details and rules of the contest are available at the above link. For more information on Cities: Skylines, visit http://www.citiesskylines.com/.

Snowfall Now Blanketing Cities: Skylines

STOCKHOLM – Feb. 18, 2016 —

Paradox Interactive, a unique snowflake among publishers, today announced that the newest expansion to Cities: Skylines is now available for aspiring mayor-players everywhere. “Snowfall,” which was released today for players of Cities: Skylines, adds a flurry of weather-related features to the game, along with new transportation options and several new winter attractions to help citizens chill out. A new free patch has also released today, including a new map Theme Editor to allow modders to alter the very fabric of in-game reality. Snowfall is available today on Windows, Mac, and Linux PCs for $12.99. Build your anticipation of precipitation with this trailer presentation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dqpa2ymwtSw In Snowfall, the difficulty heats up when the city cools down, thanks to a new in-game temperature reading that will have residents bundling up for warmth when the weather outside is frightful. Cosmetic weather, including rain and fog, has been added to Cities: Skylines as part of a free update. Players who own Snowfall will get to face new challenges such as ensuring that their city infrastructure can handle seasonal heating demands – and, when the snow starts falling, that the roads can stay clear. New snowplow services will be required to prevent traffic from freezing in place, while new all-weather trams and expanded public transit options can help residents and visitors alike get around town – and visit the new winter parks and landmarks available in Snowfall. A detailed list of features included both in Snowfall and in the free patch is available here: https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/index.php?threads%2Fsnowfall-patch-notes-1-3-0-release-information.908934%2F

Snowfall patch notes (1.3.0) release information

Greetings Chirpies! Tomorrow we release Snowfall, hurray! We are of course very excited to bring you another DLC with snow, trams, more buildings and of course hats for Chirpy. The DLC is set to launch some time during the afternoon CET. Having that said - updating a game with the moddability we feature will have its issues. We have worked behind the scenes with a team of the core modders and asset creators to ensure a smooth transition for you all, yet everyone was not available and our resources limited. A few of the more popular mods will stop working with Snowfall. The biggest one we have identified so far that might cause issues is Traffic++. From what we can see the author is currently not active and we don't have any indication on when or if it will be fixed. For users of this mod we recommend disabling it for new saves and only loading it in "ghost mode" for old saves that are reliant on it being activated to work. Beyond this we expect most of the major mods and assets to work with Snowfall without bigger problems. HUGE thanks to the wonderful community members and prominent modders that have worked very hard during our closed testing to bring their creations up to speed. You're awesome! With no further ado, here are the patch notes!

Cities: Skylines is a modern take on the classic city simulation. The game introduces new game play elements to realize the thrill and hardships of creating and maintaining a real city whilst expanding on some well-established tropes of the city building experience.

From the makers of the Cities in Motion franchise, the game boasts a fully realized transport system. It also includes the ability to mod the game to suit your play style as a fine counter balance to the layered and challenging simulation. You’re only limited by your imagination, so take control and reach for the sky!

Main features:

Multi-tiered and challenging simulation: Constructing your city from the ground up is easy to learn, but hard to master. Playing as the mayor of your city you’ll be faced with balancing essential requirements such as education, water electricity, police, fire fighting, healthcare and much more along with your citys real economy system. Citizens within your city react fluidly, with gravitas and with an air of authenticity to a multitude of game play scenarios.

Extensive local traffic simulation: Colossal Orders extensive experience developing the Cities in Motion series is fully utilized in a fully fleshed out and well-crafted

Districts and Policies: Be more than just an administrator from city hall. Designating parts of your city as a district results in the application of policies which results in you rising to the status of Mayor for your own city.

Utilize the Day and Night Cycle:
The city changes during the hours of the day and affects citizen schedules. Traffic is visibly slower at night and some zoned areas do not work with full efficiency. This expansion will put you in control of managing the different aspects of the day and night cycles.

Extensive modding support: Build or improve on existing maps and structures. You can then import them into the game, share them as well as download the creations of other city builders on the Steam workshop.
