Welcome to the Cities Skylines community on Lemmy!

Hello!

I asked the Lemmy.ml mods to mod this community as the old mod was non-existent and being the community with most users on Lemmy, it was sadly kinda abandoned. Now it's time to create our little corner in the Fediverse for the fans of these big simulation games.

What changed?

I updated the community logo (there was none before) and the community banner to the images of Cities Skylines II.
Also changed the sidebar to include information about the games, some community guidelines, links and community filters that work as "flairs" on some Lemmy clients.
I'm setting up a bot that will post 'News and Announcements' from the PDX Forum. This way you will keep updated with the announcements, the most recent patchs, updates and DLC's.
I didn't and I will not delete any content posted to this community until today!

In the Cities Skylines community you're free to:

Share pictures of your cities
Share videos about the game
Ask questions
Be creative

That's all for now! Let me know some feeback about the guidelines and what can make the community better!

Hope you enjoy the Cities Skylines community!

I love CS1. I've been working on a mountain valley city at a confluence of two rivers. I'm using more pedestrian zones than ever before and my city is basically ped zones with an occasional car+grass+tram/tram+grass+car road to get trucks to the service points. I've learned a lot about the AI behaviors from doing it like this. The map I'm using, Revelstoke, has a huge dam and every now and then I'll make a save game and delete the dam just to see what gets wiped out. The downtown actually did really well due to some dry rivers routing the water around it.

I own CS2, but I still don't like it. It's probably about time to give it another shot.

I love CS1 as well, actually I built my first computer to play this game. I love how much content it has and how you can make everything using mods. I also like to make pedestrian mods and love to watch citizens using the public transport/stations/hubs. I feel like in CS2 it's missing these latter ones.

I'm interested in seeing your city downtown with that river system!

I love playing CS2, I feel like it certain areas it was a huge upgrade. Sadly they are having all those problems, mixed with bad decisions/public relations but the game has a good base, I hope they can solve the problems and focus on developing it. I bet that the game will be really good in 1 year. The asset editor is a must that is missing right now, I still have plenty of empty areas in my city that are waiting for the perfect asset (elevated train stations please!). At least, the CCP Around the World filled some of the void. When was the last time you played CS2? I remember launching it day 1, I was so excited! But lauching the game and seeing it running like I had a potato pc as a sad beginning.

Small but important update: We're now using the ZipBot RSS tool to publish the latest announcements/news/dev patches/videos & other game updates as they are released/published. This was being done manually, being dependent of me to publish the latest updates, sometimes resulting in some hours of delay. Now you and the community will be updated as soon as these news are published.
