Tired of all the negativity online around this game. Wanted to start sharing that while there are a lot of people who are not enjoying it, there are just as many people who are.
170k Citizens, 5 in game years in, 30 real-world hours in, still growing
And since it'll be asked Ryzen 5000 series CPU RTX 3090 GPU 5120x1440@30ish fps Most settings on high (except for the ones they recommended disabling) Personal enjoyment level 5/5
Very jealous. Don't have the time to play yet.
My demands in Cities Skylines 2 is just endless low density sprawl. My citizens don't want anything else despite them whining over high rent while the low rent zoning stays empty. How do you have actual demands for larger buildings?
This took a while for me. Higher education means higher wealth, which gives way to higher density. Also I've found that Office zoning is much, much more important, check and in the zoning panel what the negatives are to that and try to raise it. Office zoning gives way to higher wealth, and thus higher zoning.
How do you handle the traffic? I just couldn't be tempted to make a metropolis in C:S 2 yet until they add basic TM:PE level controls (priority signs, lane control, junction restrictions) via official or mod means.
So far no major issues. Lane control is much more fine vs CS1 vanilla. For example, I can finally make a 4 lane road perfectly split into 2 2 lane roads, and then have one of those split into two offramps. There isn't as much one lane congestion while the other 3 are empty, it's much more balanced
I'm not that good at managing traffic. But having a city close to 80k, subway does wonders. Suddenly people were traveling via public transit. Only moving in caused a huge influx and a huge traffic jam.
