Will the New Hexagon Lake Flood Our City in Cities Skylines 2?

Welcome back to another episode of Cities Skylines 2 where we continue to develop our unique Hexagon City. In this episode, we focus on expanding the infrastructure with new four-lane roads, sticking to our hexagonal grid layout. The hexagonal roads give the city a distinct look, making it stand out from traditional grid layouts seen in most Cities Skylines 2 gameplay. Our goal is to see how well a city built entirely of hexagons can function, and today we are taking significant steps toward that vision.
As we build out Hexagon City, we encounter some challenges with road placement, especially when dealing with the natural terrain. Not flattening the terrain adds a layer of complexity but also results in a more visually appealing cityscape. This episode explores how the unique layout of hexagonal roads impacts city planning and traffic flow in Cities Skylines 2. Our approach of using 120-degree intersections and carefully measured road segments ensures the hexagon pattern remains consistent.
Traffic management is always a critical aspect of Cities Skylines 2, and Hexagon City is no exception. This episode highlights our efforts to improve traffic flow, especially around busy intersections and the mega hexagon. We experiment with different road configurations and overpasses to alleviate congestion. The hexagonal layout provides a unique challenge, as traditional traffic solutions don't always apply. Watch as we navigate these hurdles and strive to keep the traffic moving smoothly.
One of the major updates in this episode is the addition of a new fire station to enhance our fire coverage. Hexagon City has been lacking in adequate fire protection, and this new station is a game-changer. We strategically place it to cover high-risk areas, ensuring our citizens are safe. This addition not only boosts safety but also increases the overall happiness of our residents, a key factor in Cities Skylines 2.
Sewage and water management are also crucial in maintaining a thriving city. In this episode, we address a growing issue with sewage treatment by installing a new water treatment plant. This upgrade helps manage waste more efficiently and prevents pollution, which is vital for the health and happiness of our citizens. Cities Skylines 2 requires careful balancing of utilities, and this episode shows how we tackle these challenges in Hexagon City.
As our city grows, we face new challenges with zoning and land use. We explore the balance between commercial and residential zones to ensure there's enough demand for businesses while providing sufficient housing for our population. The hexagonal roads add a unique twist to zoning, making it both a challenge and an opportunity to create a well-planned city. This episode delves into these zoning strategies and their impacts on city growth.
Entertainment and leisure are essential for a happy population in Cities Skylines 2. In this episode, we add new parks and recreational facilities to improve the quality of life for our residents. From small campsites to larger parks, these additions help address the complaints about the lack of entertainment and increase land value. Watch as we transform parts of Hexagon City into vibrant, livable spaces.
The Hexagon City project isn't just about functionality; it's also about aesthetics. In this episode, we focus on enhancing the city's appearance by creating visually appealing districts and unique landmarks. The hexagonal layout lends itself to interesting design possibilities that we explore fully. This episode showcases how we integrate beauty with practicality in Cities Skylines 2.
One of the standout features of Hexagon City is the creation of a hexagonal lake. This episode documents the process of designing and implementing this unique water feature. The hexagonal lake adds a stunning visual element to the city and offers new waterfront property opportunities. It's an ambitious project that highlights the creativity possible in Cities Skylines 2.
As always, managing traffic remains a constant endeavor. This episode includes our attempts to streamline traffic flow around the new lake and residential areas. By adjusting road layouts and traffic signals, we aim to minimize congestion and keep our city moving efficiently. The hexagonal roads present unique challenges that require innovative solutions, all of which are explored in this episode.
Finally, we reflect on the overall progress of Hexagon City. The hexagonal grid has proven to be both a challenge and a unique feature that sets our city apart. This episode encapsulates the trials and triumphs of building a city in Cities Skylines 2 with such an unconventional layout. Join us as we continue to explore the possibilities and push the boundaries of city design.

Oh, I'd like to see some elevated pedestrian paths and docks in that hexagonal lake! I'd live there.
