great video. food for thought for people reading the comments, leave the center tile empty to place any necessary hub to feed all three districts. you can still make all districts touch each other if you expand them
I would suggest leaving the double heat zone center blank so you can fit a hub directly center. Way more valuable and versatile imo, plus you can always expand a district to give you the heat bonuses if you miss one tile by leaving it blank.
5:55 I think its acutally better to not build the tile that touches both districts and instead leave it open to build a hub later on. You can still get the full adjacency from the other remaining tiles, but having a hub there gives a buff two 3 districts.
the district mechanics really don't do this game well.... game logic: build districts with maximum surface area, so u get the maximum neighbor bonuses. actual logic: More surface area, would result in more heat loss due to convection....
this is game changing. i was only putting 2 districts together when building the second one. this way it does a huge benefit towards the mid to end game too
I guess leaving the gap open in the middle of those 3 district will indeed make room for hubs that will increase different bonuses for the districts. But it's a great way to also get 0 heat consumtion.
You didn't entirely explain how the three tile rule works - you implied that it's symmetric and it very much isn't. It's quite possible to have two districts touching in a way that one of them gets a heat bonus but the other doesn't.
You are indeed correct, you can goof the build and have 1 district gaining two buffs but not reciprocating back to the other districts. It's not exactly symmetric, the hex tiles in this game aren't always perfectly aligned (also sometimes there's obstables). The design will vary slightly map to map, district to district, you have to ensure when you're building this that each district is touching the other 2 so they all benefit.
No worries! I'll definitely do a more advanced video dealing with district efficiency with their buildings and how to lay it out fully expanded with hubs at some point!
Im curious if its possible to go "positive" on your heat generation. What effect (if any) would this have on your overall resource output? Include a hub, several more back to back districts in every direction, how much heat could you stack to negate your need for heat in those connected districts?
Great video. Please make more on topics like best hub placement, which laws/research are best for early game, optimal order to build districts etc. The game is dark souls of city builders.
STUART! While these layout patterns are good for district location adjacency, it does not take into consideration the powerful bonuses that HUBs offer, which rely on an entirely different type of layout. Districts close to each other only offer heat bonuses (which are fairly simple to solve) while HUB bonuses can give you boosts to Crime, Disease, Heating, Work Efficiency, and even Materials consumption, which I would argue are all very powerful in their own regard. What I am saying is there are far more efficient layouts for using HUBS which are more optimal in the late game.
Yes this is more for early game. Check out my hub layout video for a mid/late build that integrates all the power of hubs to build near zero demand districts!
I just started playing this game without having played the original. I’m a bit frustrated by how difficult it is since I’m still grappling with the mechanics. Yet the challenge and the idea that there’s much left to learn compels me to come back and play it some more.
curves on the a districs are also importat due to the stockpiles and hibs which give even more bonuses. That is why when you make them , give enaug free tiles so you can be within the 3 tile radious of a hub/stockpile.
It's all good for getting 20 more heat from adjusted districts. Enough even to get you through the game. But heat trapping is not all you can do with build layout, trying to fill in several stockpile and heating hubs, so they affect 3+ districts, that's where it become puzzling. Thing is, stockpile hubs decrease workforce req by 10% each, though stockpile itself req 100 people to run, and to be proficient it need to hit 3 or more districts, preferably 4. And on top of that, same type stockpiles can't be builded close to each other. Quite tricky to pull, but if managed correctly, can get you 30% x 4 district workforce reduction, that mean one of them is freebie.
That district adjacency bonus is just so poorly designed. Of course clumping houses together should decrease heat required (huddled for warmth and all that) but it doesn't really have anything to do with the layouts of the districts. The exact same occupied hexagons can have good and bad district layouts even though they have the exact same houses on them. It makes no sense. Rather than having districts determine the bonuses the surrounding hexagons could, so if you are surrounded by houses, or cliffs for shelter, then a hexagon can get benefits. Maybe that would just be too fine-grained, but this system is just bad.
The best meta for district layouts is connecting L's shapes together or doing 6 triangles connecting to a 1 tile hub (which could be 6 districts getting bonus off of 1 hub).
beware that food district will be gone someday and you can also build hub for district buff like heat hub that give you 40 heat to any district that have 3 tile in it area. or rail hub for extraction and food district work efficientcy.
I was watching and waiting for to see where he's ganna place the hub then video finished without hubs lol ... later game dont we need like 3 hub spots ? EDIT: this is answered in his next guide about hubs
Alternate layout: have them snake back and forth like (two districts built from top to bottom) /\ \/ /\ \/ /\ \/ They still get the adjacency bonus, you can tile it horizontally indefinitely, and you can put hubs in each of the gaps Only downside is pentagons and squares ruin the layout lol
Later you'll build structures into your districts which greatly increase their heat demand, so you'll still need to gain as much benefit as possible. ie if you can make this pattern AND also be sheltered from the wind, definitely do it
Because the cuddling bonuses/penalties are asymmetric you can actually put industry/extraction/logistics next to housing/food with beneficial results. If only one or two tiles of a housing district are next to three tiles of an industry district, that housing district will get a +20 heat bonus, while not getting the -20 squalor penalty. Because the penalty only applies when three or more housing tiles are adjacent. This obviously isn't as good as both districts getting +20 heat and no penalties, but it does mean you can get some benefits if you think carefully about the interface between a group of housing districts and a group of industry districts. In a perfectly optimized layout I would expect to see this trick being used. Another trick you can use is a housing district set to the lowest step of efficiency to give out heating bonuses to other districts while not consuming much heat/workforce itself. I think of these districts as shield walls. They are also useful to temporary house population jumps while you work out better solutions. The downside is that it isn't a very efficient use of prefabs, so if prefabs are a bottleneck you probably shouldn't do this.
delete the depleted district and replace it with a housing or industry district. You can never have too many! If you just want the bonus you can set replacement district down to 10%
Very quick and informative, maybe you can make another video with a different district layout that includes a mixture of 2 or 3 hubs that will hit all 3 districts while also maintaining the adjacent district heat bonus?
Imagine doing these district placements on Horizon... one hell of a city and plenty of fuel to spare for the long run! With the expansions, you could form a square of each, leave 2 - 3 spaces for hubs in the centre of each individual district and you won't even need to worry about Tension or Trust. I hope heat hubs stack.
Currently buildings don't actually benefit from reduced heat demand at all (the district shows that they do, but the total heat demand counts buildings independently from districts) which makes adjacency bonuses and heating hubs a lot less useful (at least until big temperature drops happen lol)
i like to build extraction and industrial districts together, and leave one tile in the center for the rail hub. that way it can provide both districts with efficiency bonus when i have workers to spare i build another industrial district on the other side of extraction and repeat the rail hub thing i dunno which one is more efficient, rail hub or air hub, but i like rail more also when tensions are rising you can place fighting hubs mixed in with your housing clusters
May need space for air transport hubs and potentially heating hubs when it gets colder, preferably in a way one of each hits at least 2 if you plan to add more districts.
You need more likes I don’t play games like this but I like the aspect of politics and you made it easier to organize and understand the game thank you
You can build your industrial districts around a heating centre in a circular manner, each of the centre's sides can fit one. Though it would fit only 5 districts that would benefit from it's buff, yet you still can finish the circle with the 6th industrial, cause it can still provide adjacency bonus to the districts beside it. You can do the same with the housing disticts, but I think such industrial clusters are more benefitial overall, cause they barely consume any heat this way, if any at all
After 18 hours I finally got through a whiteout without losing any heat. It only took 190k of coal and 3 steam districts. This game is brutally hard, but it's so addictive.
@@Sixeye_ 190k coal? You might be overbuilding districts I just finished captains difficulty for my achievement run series (will upload it in a few days) but I only used less than 100k. Did you overdrive your generator through the white out?
@@DataEngineerPlays I overdrive my steam districts, but not the overdrive generator, I keep forgetting that stuff. The first game was much clearer with the UI. It was much easier to click on something. I also found abilities that I didn't know I had, like the youth ability, it gives me more worker. The 1st game it was so much easier to get to the abilities. This one you have to click on the generator, which is fidgety clicking on it. And that's if you remember that stuff, while you sort out districts and keeping those faction happy.
@@Sixeye_ yes definitely don't sleep on the building abilities! But I agree in the stressful moments is very easy to forget about super handy abilities
@@Sixeye_ oh I just realised you said you overdrive your districts during the white-out. Try turning all your district (except housing) and buildings off during the white-out. Balance the stockpiles for materials food and goods. Then your fuel demand won't be -1000
Subscribed. I look forward to how you would include hubs while still maintaining the 3 district format. I figured out some ways to do it on the fly midway through my first blind story run. It takes some visualizing in your head and pre-planning. Make use of district expansions to make up for the connections. Hibs have a 2 range from themselves, basically a big hex coverage rance. They have to have atleast 3 tiles of a district to give their buffs. I didn't use the hubs you research later that affect the housing districts, even though I researched them all. I was too busy trying to manage the hectic curve balls I had thrown at me. But the Air Transport Hub was the one I did use a lot. -15% workforce reduction for all districts, including housing. Very good hub for the mid and late game when workforce gets tight in emergencies or due to deaths.
You can try, the layout would be quite difficult since 1 district can only expand up to 9 tiles. So try to think of a geometry such that 9 tiles split into 3 sets of 3 each touching 3 other districts at the same time.
@@DataEngineerPlays just adding districts at the corners would result in 6 districts with the inner ones touching 4 and the outer ones touching 2 (maybe more if they manage to touch each other as well)

I don't think you even need to expand if you arrange them properly.
I came here to comment this exactly. It makes so much more sense 👍
True but Expanding is efficient for the cost to benefit as it doesn’t add worker cost
Now we just need a mod to preplan our cities 😢
yes, realize that 2 late in the story. all pressured to pack it together
i like the idea, but you could have just created one industry on a clump of nodes instead of 2?
Yeah you could do that. But remember multiple districts will give each other a heat buff
This is the most clear and concise tutorial I've seen on this topic. This vid deserves more attention.
Reminds me of the frostpunk 1 videos showing how you could use road placement to warp the building sizes and build more in a compact area
I mean, if you really needed a tutorial for this ur doomed in ur day to day life buddy
I would suggest leaving the double heat zone center blank so you can fit a hub directly center. Way more valuable and versatile imo, plus you can always expand a district to give you the heat bonuses if you miss one tile by leaving it blank.

Thank you! Both vids were informative.
The best meta for district layouts is connecting L's shapes together or doing 6 triangles connecting to a 1 tile hub (which could be 6 districts getting bonus off of 1 hub).
Excellent video, thank you for explaining :)
This isn't a city-builder. And, therefore, it is not worthy of my money.
It is better to save the middle tile between two districts for a steam hub(s) in the future. Everything else is perfect idea.
beware that food district will be gone someday and you can also build hub for district buff like heat hub that give you 40 heat to any district that have 3 tile in it area.
or rail hub for extraction and food district work efficientcy.
Yes you'd have to replace your food/extract district with a housing/industry district once your resource runs out. But the pattern should remain

They still get the adjacency bonus, you can tile it horizontally indefinitely, and you can put hubs in each of the gaps
Only downside is pentagons and squares ruin the layout lol
I like that...
I think it's easier once you take all the finite resources, to burn districts and redo them more efficiently.
You could probably ignore the benefit of being next to the generator if you do this
Later you'll build structures into your districts which greatly increase their heat demand, so you'll still need to gain as much benefit as possible. ie if you can make this pattern AND also be sheltered from the wind, definitely do it

this not gonna cover things like railroad and the food silo
Nice video, I expected to see also how to make very effective layouts with hubs, this video a bit too simple for me, I play on Captain XD
Yes I'll definitely do one on hubs too
How does this wotk when a resource depletes ? Im guessing 2 20 heat bonuses is not worth keeping an empty district active.
Replace the depleted district with a housing or industry district
Man you just changed my life
This is exact help I needed.
I'm wondering if we can place the heating hub and medical hub between three districts to maximize the bonus.
Yeah you can place 3 hubs in the center. Check out my hubs video to find out how!
THe issue of mixing extraction/food type with others is that the moment the resource runs out, you loose the heat bonus, because it becomes inactive.
delete the depleted district and replace it with a housing or industry district. You can never have too many! If you just want the bonus you can set replacement district down to 10%
The only thing I hate is ice cleaning
