"And in anticipation of what's to come, I'm also going to buy the crematorium" is possibly the most unintendedly sinister thing i've ever heard from YUMBL.
The new road tools and functionality are just so so slick. I got tired of having to engineer every intersection/interchange with TMPE , IMT and node controller in CS that I just had to stop playing, hoping and praying that CS2 would be improved. Really excited to see what we can build seamlessly with these new tools. It is gonna take a lot of the tediousness/headache out of constructing your roads
I agree. It will be so much easier to get a repeatable solid foundation for all the intersections, but I'm already seeing nodes I would like to hit with TMPE and node controller 😅
@@frankdomburg3971 for many it's a interchange builder. for many others it's a "slap grids down and instantly fill it with zoning" builder. guess we can see what kind of player they are
It's part of a series of bird-themed road crossings used in the UK, along with Puffin (Pedestrian User Friendly INtelligent, which is its successor), Toucan (Two Can cross, pedestrians and cyclists), and Pegasus (for equestrians).
YUMBL - your videos on CS:2 are definitely the most informative - exactly the right amount of detail without the waffle, love it! I am so looking forward to playing this, but might be a while as I'd need a new PC first, my current one struggles with CS:1.
18:20 According to the legend the color indicates the telecom coverage. As the tower becomes more surrounded by buildings and stuff, you get worse coverage, as the radio waves can't travel in straight lines as easily. A radio tower in an empty field has great coverage, but there's no one to receive the signal. A radio tower surrounded by skyscrapers has pretty bad coverage, but there are a lot of people who are nearby enough to receive the signal. That's at least how I interpret how it works.
RE: Communication Tower - It goes green because the elevation increases and gives better coverage. When you go into your downtown, the elevation is lower, and it can't reach as far. This is based on viewing other channel part 2 videos.
I don't think that's true. I think it's a connection capacity indicator. That's why it's green in the unoccupied spaces, no people, so lots of connections available. In the downtown core you need enough towers to carry the capacity requirements, so multiple towers to make it green.
@@YUMBL I think elevation affects the range - you'll cover more area with a higher tower - but covering more area doesn't count for much when population density means you're limited by capacity.
Regarding the cell tower map indicator, I think it's a connection capacity indicator. That's why it's green in the unoccupied spaces, no people, so lots of connections available. In the downtown core you need enough towers to carry the capacity requirements, so multiple towers to make it green.
Thanks for this amazing drop. I just updated my rig to include a LG Widescreen 4K monitor. My gameplay looks amazing now. I still can't get develpermode to work yet but so far, I'm being re-smitten by the game. Thanks again.
I’m just about half way watching this video, i had to stop and say you do a great job of explaining things in a simple way for us to understand! Thank you
I'm loving these videos Yumbl. Your narration is so nice and mellow that I really hope you'll continue to record lots of varied content so that we can just enjoy your creativity and voice 😍
What's a shame is that mixed use is medium to high density, even tho there are low density mixed used buildings. Those would be really cool, and I hope they come in later
Thank you for your videos. I like your workflow to how you build. A couple of others that I watch spend soooo much time detailing to crazy detail. I like the way you build.
AS an Spanish speaker, I wonder why a round about has that name. Holy cow... the way streets are merged! Bought the game dreaming they will give it to me before the release xD
Pelican is a pedestrian light controlled crossing. A crossing with traffic lights that the pedesteian presses and waits for lights to chnage before crossing. Which to be fair isn't marked the way it does in game in uk. The stripes are for zebra crossing which is jst a crossing with no traffic lights, sometimes it has a yellow light to signal its there. you wait for cars to stop at (as they have to) and you cross.
My only little critique so far of CS2 is the color looks a little bland or washed out. Other than that it looks fantastic! Loving all the new features.
Those pedestrian islands are very functional, especially when trams get involved. In fact. Make sure you havw access to a pedestrian island where your tram stops are, or they will not be able to board. Learned this the really, really fucking hard way. You're welcome.
Yumbl, I need you to record me an audiobook. Your voice is so calming. Also, I just was vewy vewy naughty and just bought the pre-order of this game... PREMIUM EDITION. Paradox owes that $80 purchase to you.
I feel like building your city is now more organic. Having city services provide much larger coverage means you can create more natural looking districts. Less than a month to go!!!
26:29 In addition to having more flexibility with module plopping and editing, I am surprised at how many assets have huge parking lots baked in. In some cases it’s understandable because an upgrade module replaces the parking, but in many cases it feel really unrealistic, especially in European builds for instance. I wish parking was either treated independently (like the normal, ploppable parking lots) or as a building module that can be added or removed.
I largely agree with this. I suppose the low density commercial can have 1-3 spots out front for the owner and employees, but many buildings could have none and rely on street parking or, as you said, the option of a ploppable lot.
Having watch a bunch of the latest CS2 TH-camr releases, I wish there was a blueprint mode for both locked and unlocked modules on expandable buildings, similar to Anno 1800, to make future planning easier!
As the bugged intersection was outside your tiles, that must mean, it was built like that by the game, by the developers. Which is weird to think, as the new CS2 road design is very intelligent. At least so I was lead to believe.
The one thing I've noticed in all of these cs2 game plays is that money is no longer an issue. Is there anything to spend all that money on or is it just going to be an insane amount of money with no real purpose.
From what I understand, all services can be covered by external connections, just not as well as one in the city. So I'd assume even if you have no FD, there's still be a truck sent from outside connection... but it's not like I've tested that, only going by what the devdiaries have stated.
18:24 It says what the colors mean in the upper left part of the screen. It is green in places with no buildings cause there the coverage is 100% since there is no one there.
In the real world, the games roundabout is correct. The outer lane is for right turn only, and the inner lane is for bypassing the other lanes until you get to the one you want. Inner lane has to yield to traffic coming from the left. Outer lane does not.
@YUMBL Man, I've been watching your videos, and they have changed my game play completely. Even though I played CS1, I never knew how intricate the road system is. Thank you!!!
My question of Cities Skylines II - What transportation features are there, especially in terms of bicycles/etc.? ie bike roads... if not, maybe normal roadways could be expandable with dutch style bike lanes kinda like how the schools and other buildings are also expandable?
@@YUMBL Okay. Based on what I've seen so far, not game breaking imo, but it would be cool to see that functionality added in the future, hopefully they'll add it!
I thought the telecom towers are affected by elevation. If you get it on top of a mountain the range is expansive, down in a valley or amount tall buildings and the range suffers.
What I find interesting is the zoning toggle thing was recently introduced to CS1, so I’m a little surprised that wouldn’t be with release of CS2 but I guess it’ll come with time to CS2?
Great video. I sadly cancelled my pre-order on Steam after they suddenly increased the minimum/recommended specs. Who can trust that they'll be accurate? I'd rather wait until after release and see what kind of performance other people experience.
WIKI: A pelican crossing, or archaically pelicon crossing (PEdestrian LIght CONtrolled), is a type of pedestrian crossing with traffic signals for both pedestrians and vehicular traffic, activated by call buttons for pedestrians, with the walk signal being directly across the road from the pedestrian. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pelican_crossing
@YUMBL I don't know the character's name as I have only caught parts of the show while waiting in the dentist's office, but the character has been referred to using a name that has Squib or something similar in the name.
Awesome stuff. Can you post your PC specs for the rig you are using for these videos? I think it is really CRAPPY what Paradox is doing to us. I'd rather wait longer for the game so I don't have to go buy a $1,000 GPU and a $400 processor just to play this game. I pre-ordered when they first opened pre-orders and I'm regretting that decision now. But your stuff looks awesome!
"And in anticipation of what's to come, I'm also going to buy the crematorium" is possibly the most unintendedly sinister thing i've ever heard from YUMBL.

So true...I spent more time building out interchanges than actually playing the game proper lol
This is a good news and I was very excited when saw their 1st Dev-diary about the road tools.

The intro has such a high production value. The song and the "second take" really like the style in these videos :)
Its all part of the experience ;)
Pelican Crossing comes from Pelicon and it stands for "Pedestrian Light Controlled" as far as i know :)
"PEdestrian LIght CONtrolled" indeed.

Elevation does not affect the coverage. Its how much density is around the tower.

Smaller zone sizes yield smaller mixed use buildings :)

It didnt make the final cut. That was CPP’s battle anyways ;)

Yes it does behaves as a pedestrian island, i saw in a dev diary when the cims actually jumps up the curb and stops on the island.

Some of the new road tools just being in there in vanilla is going to be so good.
Where is the audio
@nikos.r The audio is completely fine. Have you tried refreshing?
I cant wait to try it myself. I loved make the best optimize road system in CSKY1.
The Telecom towers are going green because that land is higher, meaning more coverage.
Nope, I believe its related to how densely built and area is. Non dense areas have better signal strength.
Well, a crematorium is an indirect way to fix a healtcare problem
Treating the symptoms, not the cause 😅
Good to see you're continuing your original take on the game in CS2.

I thought the telecom towers are affected by elevation. If you get it on top of a mountain the range is expansive, down in a valley or amount tall buildings and the range suffers.
the range on the telecom towers also depends on the elevation
It actually seems to be proximity to building density. Low areas with no buildings also show lots of green
@@YUMBL yeah that also makes sense in cities usually there is a small dense network of cell towers to combat the amount of obstructions
In the UK, we have low density mixed use (like a few 1-2 bed apprtments above a corner store). Would have loved to see that included
It is! Smaller zoning sizes yield smaller buildings.
@@YUMBL ohhhhhh I hadn't noticed that effect. Now I'm excited!!!

Less than a minute in, and already a golden tip.
I think you might have left in your first take of 'everybody welcome back' by accident haha
I would never make a mistake like that. It was an intentional peek behind the curtain ;)
I would think that zoning toggle would already be implemented in cs2 cause they did add it officially for cs1

They totally can!
ok...but here's the question: What's the difference in traffic flow if a roundabout is created the new way vs the old-school way in CS2?
The new traffic system is much more fluid. Roundabouts hold a ton if traffic here compared to cs1
@@YUMBL Makes sense. CS1 roundabouts weren't a feature of the game itself, and they often had a certain glitchiness around vehicles and nodes.
