I really wish that the farm assets (especially fields etc) could be terrain conforming as standard. It wouldn't solve the boxy/grid issue, but at least it would look better on hilly terrain (especially for livestock).
you can fix the terrain issue by using move it to raise the farm heaps. raising the building lifts up the thing that controls the terrain, but not the farm asset itself. i have used it before and it works great
I love how organic everything is. Structured but without the structured "grid" feeling. It feels like a place that simply grew overtime and fitted around its environment.
That highway interchange should not have 3 lanes on the off ramps since it makes no sense for the middle late to literally just go back onto the highway.
The concrete patches between the two sides of the highway are for road maintenance, when a section of the road is getting paved/ repainted/ repaired, the section between two concrete patches is closed, and the traffic is diverted to take one lane from the other side of the highway, the concrete patches are used for diverting the traffic from one side to the other. So the place with the roadwork has one side closed, and the other side with one lane for each direction of traffic. I see it all the time because the roads here are the cheapest quality and have to be completely broken up and repaved every 5 years or so... Might be cool to put in some road work in progress into this build, with the workers taking their 6th. well deserved smoko of the day
You could put some Highway Patrol Police on the highway, hiding behind a tree or something. You could also put andoned car beside the highway, or some mobile stall that sell flowers or fruits. Roadworks is very common in Australia, that could be interesting.
With the heavy vehicles it might be worth trying some warehouse. The Bruce trucks will hopefully go to them to pick up goods but you’ll still see the tractors moving around to get farm resources to the warehouse.
I’ve noticed around the highways of Australia they have these emergency telephone bays which cars can stop and call for help if there is no reception using the blue landline phone. It would be a great addition to your highway
For the truck issue, it might be worth experimenting with Klyte's mod called Vehicle Master Control. It's supposed to let you choose which vehicle can spawn in individual districts. Might not stop large trucks from delivering to the farming areas, but could stop the farms from spawning large trucks and make them use smaller farm trucks instead.
Great work. 5 to 2 lanes on the intersection around 10:00 seems a bit weird tho... not sure what you're planning for the future there, but that Intersection seems way oversized considering the road that it leads to. Im dutch so I dont know much about Australian infrastructure, but I would do a bit more of lane mathematics ;). Anyway, great build!
You can make some insvisible roads in the farm site that won't be connected to the main roads, so there won't be any cars and you will be able to place some custom cows there
Hey I think it would be really cool and realistic to have a solar farm in that area cause that’s usually where there located at least here in America. Great vid by the way keep it up.
Oh I just bumped into your video and you're australian, recreating the blue mountains farming landscape? You got yourself a new subscriber. So many memories in the blue mountains 🇫🇷🇦🇺
Finally, please make a video of a train journey and/or car journey from the perspective of a passenger. Then you can see the whole beautiful map once again.
Around 14:00 mark, it makes me think of an old rich family mansion that sits in the middle of big property land. The road that leads to the mansion has big trees on both sides.
Looks so good! Only thing I would add is proper paddocks on the farms and greenhouses, also more gravel roads rather than dirt roads. Oh and stockyards for every farm because these are essential. Cheers.
You can move the fences for the animal paddocks using move it by holding down alt. You might also be able to add more nodes using network multitool in the fences so you can customise the shape more (not sure about this second part- haven't tried it myself). There are also moving animal sprites on the workshop you can download too I think.
Farm industries are notorious for generating unrealistic traffic. The game does class them as industries and generates vehicle appropriately. I once had a farm area which was literally generating twice as many heavy trucks as my cargo station and similar sized area of associated warehouses/industry. I had to hack it to pieces and practically start again. All my original landscaping and aesthetics down the pan...I still weep. BTW your work very inspirational and beautiful .
Hey would street lights along the highway towards Patterson make sense? That could add a little bit of detail in the median strip. The older style warm lights could be good.
I hope that in Cities Skylines 2 they address a lot of these issues that modders have found the solution for. One thing I really hope they add is the ability for buildings to follow the terrain they're placed on so you don't have a house sitting on a void gap because the backyard is slightly sloped. The need for relatively flat surfaces for most buildings is really frustrating. I also hope they allow for more realistic urban spaces and better parking lots.
Salut ! Je suis un abonné français. J'adore ce que tu fais sur cities skylines. Toutes tes villes son fantastique. Tu es le meilleur sur ce jeu. Continu comme ça 👍
maybe add some fast food joints across the Road trip. It would make sense to at least have some opportunity to eat somewhere. Gas stations and maybe a little general store across the little camping area would be nice too
Great video and series - would some of those house that you have create in the conutry not have swimming pools and more recreational stuff - maybe a motocross park?
Your work is so inspirational and motivating. Every time I watch your videos, i wanna do it myself, until I realise i have no skill :p Great work. Greetings from GER :)
29:00 Maybe some boarding school or some roadside fruit and vegetables market? they're all over the national highways in Uruguay. Instituto Adventista on Ruta 5 is good inspo for school 🙃
The second area kinda reminds me of the emirates park near murrarruni and blandford they have a lot of equine farms there, it could make a good place for doing that and maybe a few race courses
Yes it's true. Your painted surfaces reset when you are subscribing or unsubscribing items from the workshop while running the game. Different problems might also occur, so please never do it again!
Australia too. When he was asking "what should i put here", a roadworks stockpile area would have been good. Or even a flat gravelly area where one had been, and may be again.
City looks hella empty - the downtown heigh rises looks weird in all the open spaces un- urbanized . It’s unrealistically green basically small connected towns with a skyscraper in the middle. Js.
DUDE, that's how most Australian cities look. Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney, etc etcetera, this is just a downscale version and it captures the feeling perfectly in my opinion. Js.
I'd love if somewhere could be called Mbabaram (a farm, maybe?) - by massive coincidence 'dog' in English translates as 'dog' in this Aboriginal language.
For a game with such freeform road building it would be nice if you could similarly shape the farm fields to fit inside the shapes you can draw. Square fields are very American.
Dude your LUT, trees, land, cars etc look so good. I wish the base game looked like that straight out of the tin. Realism is what sells city builders IMO, and the base game is too cartoonish. I hope if they make a CS2 they take a leaf out of your book.
If only there was some Australian farms ie. Sheep farms with shearing sheds, other type of animal farms, mixed animal farms, different crop farms and mix of crop and animal farms
Nice to see the farms being worked on! It's cool to finally be getting more and more into the countryside.
holy cow it's Kermit the Frog
I really wish that the farm assets (especially fields etc) could be terrain conforming as standard. It wouldn't solve the boxy/grid issue, but at least it would look better on hilly terrain (especially for livestock).
They are hard to make due to the limitations of the game. I tried and they just don't work that well
@pdelmo79 yeah this one shouldn't be on the modders to try to solve (thank you for trying).
We desperately need C:S 2
you can fix the terrain issue by using move it to raise the farm heaps. raising the building lifts up the thing that controls the terrain, but not the farm asset itself. i have used it before and it works great
isn't there a mod that turns off terrain conformation?

Ouch! No lane mathematics at that interchange. Don't let Biffa see this. 😉
yeeah

You can drag the cow marker away from the road with moveit and they will still work. Love the work.
I’ve noticed around the highways of Australia they have these emergency telephone bays which cars can stop and call for help if there is no reception using the blue landline phone. It would be a great addition to your highway
great vid! you should add some small (like four-six building) old towns in the farm areas and add some train stations near the train lines
Creating more dynamic farms that change over time and with seasons would be EPIC. Great job bro, favorite episode so far
For the truck issue, it might be worth experimenting with Klyte's mod called Vehicle Master Control. It's supposed to let you choose which vehicle can spawn in individual districts.

There certainly doesn't need to be a centre lane. People shouldn't be using the exit to go straight thru. Turning only.
Don't understand why he always upgrades elevated highways to the ground once and then covers with walls all those blue things
yeah lol I live in rural Australia and there are NO intersections that size until u get right outside a big city
Usually there'd be 1 lane off the motorway going into a two lane part at the very end, or even just 1 lane.
@@wowreacts9717 just a simple diamond interchange like in Bridgewater in Adelaide Hills
You can make some insvisible roads in the farm site that won't be connected to the main roads, so there won't be any cars and you will be able to place some custom cows there
It's great to see more farms but you should think about putting some villages of a couple building in random places around Oceania
Hey I think it would be really cool and realistic to have a solar farm in that area cause that’s usually where there located at least here in America. Great vid by the way keep it up.
You could build a mountain town way high in the mountains. It could have vineyards and an alpine looking biome.
Oh I just bumped into your video and you're australian, recreating the blue mountains farming landscape? You got yourself a new subscriber. So many memories in the blue mountains 🇫🇷🇦🇺
Finally, please make a video of a train journey and/or car journey from the perspective of a passenger. Then you can see the whole beautiful map once again.
Sorry, I haven't finished watching the video yet
There could be a abondead train station somewere around Megalon Valley. I love how the train looks. :)
Around 14:00 mark, it makes me think of an old rich family mansion that sits in the middle of big property land. The road that leads to the mansion has big trees on both sides.
32:36 Don't you just love when your car accidentally breaks the laws of physics?💀
I do love the idea of Abbott being turfed out of the parliament and then setting up an onion farm in Dundee. Natural progression!
I'm really excited to see you eventually get to the desert region
You have to add a couple runaway truck ramps!
I like the phrase “Establishing a road trip”
Also yes you added Abott’s Onions
Looks so good! Only thing I would add is proper paddocks on the farms and greenhouses, also more gravel roads rather than dirt roads. Oh and stockyards for every farm because these are essential. Cheers.
You can move the fences for the animal paddocks using move it by holding down alt.

There are also moving animal sprites on the workshop you can download too I think.
Doesn't that destroy the functionality? Because I know it does for stations, ports and such
Works even removing fence. Almost all industry DLC buildings can remove fence.. ore buildings.. oil
Farm industries are notorious for generating unrealistic traffic. The game does class them as industries and generates vehicle appropriately. I once had a farm area which was literally generating twice as many heavy trucks as my cargo station and similar sized area of associated warehouses/industry.

Looks amazing! Awesome Job mate.
4x4/dirt bike tracks through the bush are must. They cover this great country and are a staple around rural areas.
I hope that in Cities Skylines 2 they address a lot of these issues that modders have found the solution for. One thing I really hope they add is the ability for buildings to follow the terrain they're placed on so you don't have a house sitting on a void gap because the backyard is slightly sloped.

An abandonned trainstation may be a great addition for the areas in between
You should call the farmlands near Dundee "Carter's Pass".
there should be a little town in the farmlands (like, REALLY small) called Carter
Salut ! Je suis un abonné français. J'adore ce que tu fais sur cities skylines. Toutes tes villes son fantastique. Tu es le meilleur sur ce jeu. Continu comme ça 👍
Tout à fait! 😁
maybe add some fast food joints across the Road trip. It would make sense to at least have some opportunity to eat somewhere. Gas stations and maybe a little general store across the little camping area would be nice too
Great video and series - would some of those house that you have create in the conutry not have swimming pools and more recreational stuff - maybe a motocross park?
I love the countryside you built!
i think the highway needs some kind of "big thing" tourist trap.
A big cow? PO up a prop cow.
It looks good. Really like this functionality approach, looks more lively.
Thanks as always :-)
Your work is so inspirational and motivating. Every time I watch your videos, i wanna do it myself, until I realise i have no skill :p Great work. Greetings from GER :)
I just love your work. You have given me so much inspiration!
29:00 Maybe some boarding school or some roadside fruit and vegetables market? they're all over the national highways in Uruguay. Instituto Adventista on Ruta 5 is good inspo for school 🙃
What I'd do, of part of the highway is have a small road to a medium sized power station or Garbage station. Just add a little more
I was screaming Lane Mathematics the whole time he was building the interchange lol.
20:32 Doesn’t the cattle land near Dundee still need a shed?
32:36 Jesus what a jump !
I think the interchange at 10:00, the expressway can remain as 2-lane both way.
what coller correction, theme, or lut do you use? the one in this video reminds me of the sim city columbus terrain mod.
you should add some tractors and other machinery to the properties, as well as long glasshouses and fields of haystacks.
The second area kinda reminds me of the emirates park near murrarruni and blandford they have a lot of equine farms there, it could make a good place for doing that and maybe a few race courses
Maybe add light posts in between the highway? That's the only thing I can think of that would be missing.
Yes it's true. Your painted surfaces reset when you are subscribing or unsubscribing items from the workshop while running the game. Different problems might also occur, so please never do it again!
31:50 - Whoa nelly!
What's the name of this modern highway asset?
where did you get roads with a narrow sidewalk?
I think you need to add a cult up in the hills somewhere or a hippy commune.
On the side of the highways in New Zealand there are gravel piles
Australia too. When he was asking "what should i put here", a roadworks stockpile area would have been good. Or even a flat gravelly area where one had been, and may be again.
Get invisible extractors from the workshop. Great for farmlands.
Is the saveGame available in the Steam Workshop? I would love to explore it by myself
Is there any way to get the map work in a vanilla game + dlcs?
City looks hella empty - the downtown heigh rises looks weird in all the open spaces un- urbanized . It’s unrealistically green basically small connected towns with a skyscraper in the middle. Js.
DUDE, that's how most Australian cities look. Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney, etc etcetera, this is just a downscale version and it captures the feeling perfectly in my opinion. Js.
THE BUSH IN THE MIDDLE OF FHE HIGHWAY 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱
you defiantly need to add a highway patrol Station next to the highway
You should call the area Aberdeen, as there’s a Scottish city called Dundee and a city near it is called Aberdeen
This is so freaking gorgeous
Hey, with the highway where you didn't know to do, you could make an emergency truck stop
37 Minutes Oceania? LETS F*CKING GOOOOO!!!!
If CS2 takes Black and White 2's farming tool, oh boy < 3
I'd love if somewhere could be called Mbabaram (a farm, maybe?) - by massive coincidence 'dog' in English translates as 'dog' in this Aboriginal language.
you should try to do a ski resort of some sort it would be pretty cool
You should put trucks pulled over on the side of the road.
For a game with such freeform road building it would be nice if you could similarly shape the farm fields to fit inside the shapes you can draw. Square fields are very American.
i think you need some cell tower near those farms
Think you should be able to use the Advanced Vehicle Options mod to not let the farm industry spawn the Bruce burger trucks
hey man can you do a tutorial of how you make mountains in your city
When I'm big I'll have detailed cities like this.
Try Rebalanced Industries by Quboid. Cuts industry traffic down by 50% or more.
the stream doesn't end in dundee. You gotta put more along the stream
call the farmlands:
Apple Orchard
it looks amazing
Dude your LUT, trees, land, cars etc look so good. I wish the base game looked like that straight out of the tin. Realism is what sells city builders IMO, and the base game is too cartoonish. I hope if they make a CS2 they take a leaf out of your book.
new oceania! yay :)
What kind of PC do you need to handle all of these mods
29:17
Animals
Put wild animals there
you could add a weigh station.
25:11 this funny ashell
When will we get the airport?
Anyone else see the tractor jump the road at 31:51?
For xbox and PlayStation??
If only there was some Australian farms ie. Sheep farms with shearing sheds, other type of animal farms, mixed animal farms, different crop farms and mix of crop and animal farms
Just make sure to do a realistic amount of suburbs on outer Dundee before you do the farms out there
"I do not have flat land".
Ironic
Pretty clever hiding the actual farms on the few pieces of actual flat land and surrounding them by terrain-conforming identical looking farm assets.
Rural areas remind me of rural Texas kind of.
I thought that you made up the Megalong walley as a joke. But its a real name? I am confused.
subbed
Which map you are using ??
Linked in the description :)
