Wagenvoort - Dutch Themed City

[solar hawk]

Hahahahaha

The townsfolk lovee expensive shopping

[regal gale]

Just unfollow this thread or don't look at it. No need to spread this negativity.

<@&1131921192903790623> this is not the first time Gunther has been very annoying in this tread. Would appreciate it if it was handled appropriately.

[teal flame]

Shut up

CS:II doesn't have custom assets

[teal flame]

And then you got muted

[shell panther]

xDDDDDDDD help mi im suffocating xDDDDDDDDDDDD

please

stop complaining about other people preferences?

dont like it then get out

no one forces you to watch this city

next time im gonna call the mods cuz you are really becoming second gunther

[teal flame]

No one likes gunther

[shell panther]

[teal flame]

anyways imagine not liking cities 1

[shell panther]

idk im building a pc for cs 2 but for time being im staying on cs1

btw ryzen 7800x3d and rx 7800 xt will be good?

[halcyon gate]

yes

[dim wigeon]

yeah 💀

[ivory flicker]

Cities skylines 2 rather Broken Skylines II
Cs1 better than cs2 currently

[ivory flicker]

Very good city and progress
a very rare and awesome build you did

[shell panther]

fair point

[solar hawk]

This is prolly the best village i made so far

[solar hawk]

thanks! :))

[regal gale]

How did you get the water there to flow so smooth? What canal asset do you use?

[solar hawk]

Network terafforming is very handy with these things

[fossil swift]

Bro can't afford C:S II 😂😂

[teal flame]

cities skylines 2 still sucks

is blud forgetting that there isn't custom assets yet? L

[shell panther]

i have cs II pre release

still haven't installed it cuz its so trash

[regal gale]

Get your condescending butt out of this amazing city thread and go play CS2 then.

[teal flame]

cities skylines 2 has an extreme lack of mods and custom assets which means building a city like this is impossible

challenge: make a dutch-theme city in cities 2 @fossil swift

yeah i bet you will fail.

[regal gale]

Lots of Dutch people here to judge your attempt for realism. Let's see it.

[teal flame]

yeah hes failing lol

unless they add a region pack or something

[fossil swift]

Who is interested in constructing Dutch cities? It feels akin to recreating a medieval town. My aspiration is to design authentic, contemporary urban landscapes.

[teal flame]

wdym

the dutch buildings look beautiful

[regal gale]

And his is building Dutch cities. Now leave him to it if you can't understand the fact other people can have different aspirations.

[teal flame]

There is a 99 percent chance this guy is American

[regal gale]

Just 99?

[teal flame]

99.9999999999999 i mean

[regal gale]

Better

[teal flame]

The chances this guy is American: 99.9999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999%

[regal gale]

By the way, the things getting built in Wagenvoort are constructed in the Netherlands up to this very day. Just saying my guy. Obviously you don't have a clue of what you're talking about.

Literally a construction project down the street from me could be copy pasted from this CS city

[teal flame]

Ok if you don't like this thread then get out of it. Build your American nationalist, Government-praising city

[shell panther]

according to reactions at least 98 people on this server

go build ur dubai or other and leave this thread alone

@solar hawk what the frick did u do that so much trolls are in ur thread

[shell panther]

@fossil swift

[solar hawk]

I have no clue man

My thread became the debate ground for CS 1 or CS 2

Amazing

Astonishing how many ragebaiters building an old city brings

At least he does attempt to sound like your average snobby modernist architect lmao

[shell panther]

sp they are just jealous prbbly

[teal quail]

You must be German, no one asked what u think.

Then go in other posts.

[fossil swift]

How did you know?

[teal quail]

because its obvious

[fossil swift]

Just because of my name?

[teal quail]

1st that, second how u talk

[shell panther]

hope they accept

[fossil swift]

If you cant handle the opinions of others.

[solar hawk]

That would be great yeah

[shell panther]

what you are making is not opinion its shittalk

[solar hawk]

I am tired of the arguing under my thread go do that is #general-cities

[teal quail]

uhm no? I know germans and i know how they talk

No i guess no one wants critic

[shell panther]

you can express it constructively just not here

#cs1-general #cs2-general #off-topic #general-cities

[solar hawk]

Interesting way to start expressing your opinion lol

[unborn needle]

Bro, the man makes cities his way, you make em your way. Stop being an arse and let people play what they want

[fossil swift]

I'm just poking fun at the fact that you play CS 1 instead of CS 2. I mean, c'mon, that's comedy gold, right

[vast niche]

It saddens me to see the state of trolls nowadays. Choosing pointless rage baiting on small threads, and not in places where it actually matters.

[shell panther]

okay enough

<@&1131921192903790623>

[teal quail]

cs1 is better

[fossil swift]

I'll share my opinions everywhere, whether people like it or not.

[solar hawk]

The reason why i play cs 1 over cs 2 was already given

Also thanks for 100 upvotes lol

[shell panther]

i did the 100st one ^^

[unborn needle]

[shell panther]

WHO DID THAT

[solar hawk]

Appreciate it!

[shell panther]

not anymore

[solar hawk]

Oh well

[shell panther]

<@&1131921192903790623> please this guy is very annoying

[frank swan]

Just don’t be so annoying with it, if you have nothing nice to say, say nothing at all. More of this is the fastest way to a ban.

[vast niche]

Bro he got muted 💀💀💀

[solar hawk]

Anyways

Do you guys have any good flat/Dutch map recommendations for when its time for my next project?

I think i am going to make multiple smaller cities instead of one big city next

[shell panther]

idk maybe something like downscaled amsterdam?

[regal gale]

Zakerias made some amazing Dutch maps back in the day!

Den Drommel is my favorite

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=590130671

Pretty flat but has some nice hills and a mountain to play with. Bodies of water are very interesting to work with too.

[solar hawk]

Ahh Zakerias

I made a city one of his maps

Spykerbroek

Tho i will prolly look at different creators for my next project

Flat inland area + rivers

[shell panther]

maybe one of legendary maps?

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2826884854

[solar hawk]

This one looks very promising

[shell panther]

i used to build on it, it wits dutch city kinda well

[solar hawk]

Splendid

[solid sentinel]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=503297993 Dimitrius built on this one

[teal flame]

Your crazy

You can't say cities 2 is superior with the lack of custom assets and mods

It's all stuff that Cities 1 have

Cities like this are impossible in the new game

But if we are talking vanilla alone, Cities 2 can beat cities 1, but overall, cities 1 is still the superior game

[shell panther]

bro hes muted

[teal flame]

Doesn't matter

[shell panther]

lets not provoke him and enjoy a moment of peace on this thread shall we

[teal flame]

Once he is unmuted he can see how he is the most hated person in this thread

[shell panther]

he will start answering when hes unmuted and will only destroy this thread more

[shell panther]

blud its not bout hate

this thread is no place for drama even if hes not right

rn its just all big mess and its only gonna make it worse

[teal flame]

he made a cities 1 city

and these trolls are like "CiTIeS 1 iS tERRIblE! cITieS 2 iS fAR mOrE bETTeR!!!!!11!11!!111!!!!!"

and that is where they are wrong

or maybe they are js dumb

[solar hawk]

Stop arguing in my damn thread

[shell panther]

i tried to tell them

[plucky cape]

I feel sorry for OP
At least cool looking build

Can't wait for next city!

[solar hawk]

Thanks :))

[fossil swift]

You can't censor my opinion! It's like trying to hush a foghorn with a pillow- good luck with that

[frank swan]

The village is finished!

[solid sentinel]

When you create a new thread for the next build I would appreciate a ping so I am automatically added to there 🫶

[shell panther]

WE ARE GETTIN TO 100 WITH THIS ONE 🗣️ 🗣️ 🗣️ 🔥 🔥 🔥

[shell panther]

i would call it a small city rather

villages rarely have an old town

[dim wigeon]

same

[shell panther]

same

i think i could also make a thread there

but idk kinda scared that it will get the same fate as this one

tdw server is small so when someone starts shitting in my thread i can just ask moderator to stop it and delete messages so thread stays super clean

not the case here

[solar hawk]

Its more of an old street

Many villages here have it

[solar hawk]

Of course!

[shell panther]

oh okay

idk never seen a village in poland that has blockhouses

[shell panther]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1912052025

if you get these walls between fields it will look much better

[solar hawk]

i am kinda putting the bare minimum effort in the fields hahahah

[shell panther]

oh ok

but you could at least go in BOB and add trees to this particular path that is dividing the fields

it would look much better and take like 5 mins for entire map

[solar hawk]

alright

[solar hawk]

how do you add trees in bob?

[shell panther]

there will be an add new prop button somewhetw

show me bob ui

@solar hawk

[solid sentinel]

U need to utilize the moderation ticket system to report people. Then actions should be taken accordingly

[shell panther]

idk i smh cant imagine mods coming to deal with every small troll that comes to my thread

[solid sentinel]

They don't need to come to your thread when you fill out the moderation ticket properly. You can link to the message, take a screenshot (and link to that) or do similar. Any moderator that has time will be happy to help

You direct message the PDX bot to start the ticket creation, then select moderation and it's all pretty much explained by the bot too

Spam and trolling can't be stopped without people reporting the cases so it's up to the users that are affected to file a report ticket

[shell panther]

click the box icon in extra functions

@solar hawk

[solar hawk]

Power died and i lost an hour of progress 🥲🥲🥲

[shell panther]

wtf

[shell panther]

why u dont have autosave

idk i somehow added new props

in bob

[little glacier]

just reading this thread guys; stop feeding the trolls

People like Uwe are deliberately out to piss you off, ignoring them is the best course of action

let's enjoy Dietsch's build and stop arguing here <3

[hollow tusk]

damn those farms really make everything pop

[solar hawk]

yess

even tho they are quite low effort tbh

but it looks a lot better then just normal field

[shell panther]

two titans meet

get icicci here and we will have triple combo

[solar hawk]

making one of these neighborhoods again

that way the light rail will actually get a pretty populated area to terminate

[dim wigeon]

not enough markings here

[solar hawk]

hush

[dim wigeon]

this is how i do mine

[solar hawk]

everything at a time

[dim wigeon]

apart from that nice area

reminds me of a place close to where i live

longest flat in the netherlands

[solar hawk]

[dim wigeon]

#general-cities message do you have a red light district?

[solar hawk]

no

[dim wigeon]

why not

its a staple of every dutch city

[solar hawk]

no

only amsterdam has a famous red light district

[dim wigeon]

every city in NL has some red light disctrict

even when they are small

hence why my city has about 4 blocks with red windows

[solar hawk]

not really no

[dim wigeon]

bro

its legal over here so every city has somewhere

[solar hawk]

1 steeg voor 1 dag in Leiden

[dim wigeon]

goofy ahh 😭

[solar hawk]

I do not want to build one

[dim wigeon]

i think thats like some weird article about something differnt and google misunderstood it idk

ik Haarlem does have an area

[solar hawk]

its really not that prominent bro

[dim wigeon]

ik

thats why i only did 4 blocks

basically only this area

[shell panther]

great minds think the same

[vast niche]

He doesn't wanna build a red light district. It ain't yo city.

[dim wigeon]

i was just showing him mine and making a suggestion bro chill out

[dense viper]

Nice post war neighborhood vibes

Though I don’t know any flats as long as the right ones

[dense viper]

Huh, interesting

[idle silo]

Ngl i’ve been waiting for a nice cs1 european series for so long. And yours is very nice… been following you sincd day one and the city developed very well.

[solar hawk]

Thanks! appreciate the kind words :))

[solid sentinel]

To add props or trees to a road or building with BOB you need to enter single edit mode of either trees or props. Then you need to select an existing prop/tree, if you don't see a green + in the middle of the UI appear, and then click that plus to duplicate the existing item. Then you replace that with the desired custom item like you would do with any BOB item.

[solid sentinel]

Wow I had no idea the city has such a size already. Great job

[dim wigeon]

Did you add the ISMT at the highway exit?

[solid sentinel]

ISMT?

[minor frigate]

intersection marking tool

[solid sentinel]

thats IMT tho, not ISMT

[dim wigeon]

Intersection Marking Tool

ISMT

[minor frigate]

inter section marking tool

[solid sentinel]

nobody has called it ISMT before. everyone i know, including workshop related stuff calls it IMT. but whatever

[hollow tusk]

the good kind of urban sprawl

[teal flame]

nimby warning ⚠️

[dim wigeon]

You’re just nitpicking

[solid sentinel]

Personally don't care what you call a mod. Just thought that was weird and confusing. You do whatever you want

[dim wigeon]

Ok but you’re coming off as rude and a bit passive aggressive

[solid sentinel]

i can't really seem to make it work 😅

[solar hawk]

[solar hawk]

[dim wigeon]

Rijksweginspecteur needs to see wether you did it all correctly

[idle silo]

@solar hawk why did u stop the series on yt?

[solar hawk]

I really didnt like editing the footage and could not resist the urge to keep on playing instead of cutting the footage together

[idle silo]

Upload the full video then… it was great ngl

[solar hawk]

5 hours+ of uncut footage..? Nobody wants to see that lol

[idle silo]

Damn broski then make stacked videos ig, i know lots of people who do that.

With 5+ hours i don’t think u only detail a specific neighborhood, and even if u do make part 1, 2, etc…

[solar hawk]

Nah man im sorry

[solar hawk]

those modernist neighborhoods can get huge but idk how much more i want to expand it because its getting very boring

[shell panther]

cmon

find motivation

everyone is waiting for you

[solar hawk]

But those neighborhoods are boooring

[shell panther]

i know bro

im in same state rn

but i got ppl waiting for me to post something

so i build trough the tears

cmon you can do it

think about satisfaction you will get when the city is complete

[severe yoke]

for me building old town is boring

but what's more boring is single family homes suburbs

so american cities are not for me

[shell panther]

why not zone them

in cs 1 there are packs of buildings with gardens already decorated from titan

you can set them as district style and zone

and just smooth out bad spots

[solar hawk]

everyone has their perferences i suppose

[solar hawk]

agreed

[severe yoke]

What I hate are visually flat maps with 2-6% gradients: you can't build railways but the city still looks boring and flat

[solar hawk]

hmm i'm okay with that because i am building dutch cities lmao

[shell panther]

i like when the map is kinda flat but there are hills with 6% gradients

you have a lot of space for creativity but you can also fiddle with hills

[solar hawk]

I am going to do an urban renewal for the neigborhood that is still within the ringroad

[minor frigate]

time to displace families

[solar hawk]

🤑

[severe yoke]

yeah, i also like hills, but when i can build railways

i like the topography of prague

[solar hawk]

Half sunken LRT station

[solar hawk]

Renewal phase I

[shell panther]

it looks neat

looks like you forgot something xD

[solar hawk]

yeah yeah i will use IMT later hahahaha

you should use the dutch ambulance asset

[solar hawk]

aahahahaha

[unborn current]

As a fellow Dutch person I must say this looks really nice! Love the details.

[solar hawk]

thanks!

[solar hawk]

I think that that the city is finished

[unborn current]

Love the look of it!
I see one issue with the transport though, but it's minor.
I can see that on the map the intercity stops at all of the stations, even if it's just a village. If this would realistically be NS, the sprinter would stop at all of the stations, and the intercity would skip to the edge of the map, straight to the other cities.

Otherwise it's really well designed, the neighbourhoods are also very realistic and I love how you tried to replicate what would've been the historical centre hundreds of years ago.
I hope you'll enjoy making new cities in the future, and please post the progress here as well if you do so :)

[solar hawk]

Ahhh yes i am aware of that, however if i were to do that all services had to be sprinter because running trains from only to the edge and back is very expensive and a bit overkill hahaha

[solar hawk]

Thanks! Appreciate the nice words :))

[unborn current]

That's okay, you can perhaps make the intercity stop at just a few stations, but that's all for realism

[unborn current]

You're welcome :)

[dim wigeon]

In my city the trains running from the edge of the map do actually have a lot of people in them

I’ve got 30k and like 60 tourist attractiveness

Tbf the only way into my city is either by car or by train

[solar hawk]

Its about 200 per train for me

But running the villages service makes them have 400-500 by the time it reaches Wagenvoort Centraal

[dim wigeon]

Zamn

I mean you’re using infinite money right

Just make it so there’s 2 trains running the line and run the line at a loss

[solar hawk]

No

[dim wigeon]

And make up for it by increasing the sprinter budget

[dim wigeon]

Holy shit

Respect

That makes this even crazier

[solar hawk]

I used a mod that didnt allow me to go bankrupt which was very import for the early game

Given the expensive attractions and shit

[solar hawk]

The line always run at a loss 😭😭

anyways i need to find the best pics of the city so i can post it on the subreddit

[dim wigeon]

Damn 😭

State owned company I guess

For some added realism: shut off the line. Because of some leaves on the track

And remove all the regional buses 😭

[solar hawk]

Train doesn't run due to stolen copper 🔥

whats better from the water or road

And close or far away from Central station

[dim wigeon]

Both

[dim wigeon]

Far away

[solar hawk]

I made a bunch of screenshot but i believe the reddit image cap is 20 so i need help filtering some out

I have been working on something new 😁

[blissful cloak]

Really beautiful city! I wanted to ask how did you get these graphics, mine always look way too bright.. looks awesome!

[shell panther]

step 1: take reference photo of how you want your graphic to look like irl
step 2: take screenshot of your city with your current graphics (it should ~ match with camera angle you took reference photo with)
step 3: take screenshot of your graphic settings
step 4: paste all screens into single message in chatgpt
step 5: type it a prompt to dial in your graphic settings so they match a reference photo
step 6: apply its settings

[unborn needle]

Or you can just put it in Lightroom and edit it like any actual photo

lol

[dapper lark]

or you know just get a good lut
