Man the Bailey revamp is sooooo good. Good stuff CPP 🙂

[foggy harbor]

I need some help. I have downloaded a map and I need to add an outside electrical connection to the map. I have developer mode available but I could not find outside connections in the dev mode. Any assistance with this matter will be appreciated. I have found that adding a geothermal plant helps revenues and helps your city to grow until you reach the point where the city is self sufficient.

[celest flower]

You should be able to just connect it to the edge, you don’t need a dedicated outside connection piece

[foggy harbor]

I tried that but it did not work.

[junior zinc]

If there isn't a power line in the starting tiles of your map, buy tiles that reach the end of the map and draw high-voltage power lines to there.

[foggy harbor]

I figured out what I did wrong. I didn't go to the end of the map. I only went to the end of my squares. Thanks for the help.

[granite stream]

Is anyone else having issue loading up the save for Magnolia County Ep. 40?
I wanted to check it out for myself, and made a new playset specifically for it with only the dependencies, and when I go to load it, it CTD. Any ideas?

Do some of these mods need a specific version, that isn't the latest? I can't think of any other reason for the crashing

[young vale]

May I ask who designed the logo for the "Magnolia County" series? I think it's very well done.

[azure hearth]

can mc get a passenger new train line that serves the connection to bailey

the station in ike yards can be upgraded and maybe a new station in bailey too?

How did it take to episode 41 to fix the polution at King Farms. And it was only done by deleting it.

[tall elm]

Hi 👋 I'm a little late to the party, but my partner and I decided to start at ep 1 of Magnolia County and we've only just caught up.
Anyway, Baily Lake and Little Baily Lake were mentioned off-handedly somewhere way in the beginning, to which my partner said "Baby Baily Lake".
I've waited to watch all the episodes, in case some other luminary had also come up with that, but apparently not.
So I'd like to offer Baby Baily Lake for a rename of Little Baily Lake.
Mostly because it made me giggle, but also it just flows nicely and I can imagine the locals jokingly calling it that anyway (by the time there are locals close enough to notice, that is)

[junior zinc]

Phil, just remember that while deleting issues isn't something you like to do because it's often not realistic, deleting the homeless is something real cities do all the time

🙁

[open fern]

In Phils videos i see a large tower at the waterfront in Downtown Bend. When i download everything i how ever get a white box with the name Nasinneula. Am i missing a content pack or something?

[young vale]

It was the same for me. I don't remember exactly which asset it was or where the tower came from.

[stiff scroll]

IIRC it's a building you only got for preordering the game

[junior tendon]

I just watched the most recent MC video, and all the rail improvements are really cool. With all of the new infrastructure, CPP should create an actual commuter train network, at least between Bend and Bailey for now.

[cosmic slate]

I don't know what it's like in the later episodes of MC and during SB but holy hell, by episode 23 of MC I swear it feels like Phil is ready to give a kidney to have his Parks DLC back.

[obsidian cedar]

Who isnt at this point.

[distant anchor]

Phil, I'm curious -- could you have built a hydroelectric dam instead of an earth dam in the latest ep? Or would water not be held at level with your spawn points? Or do you risk flooding downstream?

[torn moss]

This is the chat for magnolia county not segunda beach

[young vale]

Just a tip from me: you can also get the "Landmark Buildings Bonus," which you normally only get with the pre-purchase of the game, from third-party sellers. I opted for CDKeys, but there are others. I bought the package there for €2.39. It includes the 9 bonus buildings (including the Näsinneula) that City Planner used. You get a key that you then have to activate on Steam. After downloading and reloading the game, you'll have access to these buildings (including Notre Dame, for example), even if you didn't pre-purchase the game.

[open fern]

Thanks for the tip. Sadly i am currently on the Gamepass version of the game and not Steam.

[stiff scroll]

as Lucia said, this isn't the Segunda Beach chat, but AFAIK, earth dams that are only used to create reservoirs of drinking water are much more common than hydroelectric dams and i think it's just that he was trying to create the one and not the other

[torn moss]

most people associate dams with the types that generate electricity but earth ones are pretty common too

[stiff scroll]

i suspect they're more common but they aren't as flashy and so people don't think about them the same way

i bet a lot of people visit reservoirs that are created by earthen dams for drinking water and don't even think about them being dammed

[distant anchor]

Ah, my bad. Ty

[cosmic slate]

I'm still going over the Great Mulliganing around the papermill and I don't know if there'll be any of the more rural roads to do this on in the future, but; during my time as a traffic controller a lot of the jobs that we did were part of the Perth Metro Area even though they were North and South in more rural country. And one of the things I remember noticing was that at intersections, regardless of if it was a surfaced or unsurfaced road, you often had what was effectively a dirt track that sort of curved from one road to another where people took the corners earlier than they were meant to.

Don't know how much of a pain it would be to add into your rural builds in CS2 (or even if you've still got the rural lots in MC to do this) but it's been something I've had tumbling around in the back of my brain that I wanted to put out there as an option.

when are we gonna see metro in magnolia county?

[junior tendon]

It’s not really big enough to constitute a subway yet. Besides, the buses and trolleys are doing just fine.

[stiff scroll]

i would guess segunda beach is probably going to end up getting a metro before MC, if i had to guess from how the two have been growing

Ngl when i first started watching CPP i liked chuckles he was the funny clown guy now i want to throw him in the river

[surreal rover]

Screaming into the void with no context usually doesn't help but if you would like to provide constructive feedback with details im sure CPP would appreciate it lol

[runic thorn]

Just wanted to throw out there that this is one of the best videos ever made for this channel. The premise of a city planner playing cities skylines has been done to perfection now. Excellent stuff.

[distant zenith]

please tell me he noticed this

[main herald]

Wdym

The intersection?

[surreal rover]

Well thats not right

[stiff scroll]

a couple people have pointed it out to him, so i'm sure he'll get it for the next one

[surreal rover]

Yeah nah when i first saw the pic last night i was like "what the crosswalks?" But now i see the real issue

[distant zenith]

The one way roads aren't bi-directional, they're both heading in the same direction

[obsidian cedar]

Is anyone else driven crazy by the river splitting? That would just never happen in reality.

[stiff scroll]

yeah I don't love it. i excuse it a little bc phil just modified a map that shipped with the game since the map editor wasn't in a state to make something really custom yet, but it's not very realistic

[obsidian cedar]

I'd love to see that reworked to a canal between two rivers with the other one flowing off the plateau on the "right" side of the map, across the river and above Bend.

[stiff scroll]

the other thought is it'd be a fascinating episode to talk about the few circumstances where real rivers split like that—which is when a river is changing its course and one of the two will eventually go away. could even take inspiration from the way the army corps of engineers artificially keeps the mississippi along its present course via floodgates preventing it from all draining into the atchafalaya river

[surreal rover]

Tfw rivers fork all the time

[stiff scroll]

outside of a river delta (which... to be fair, magnolia county could theoretically be a large delta) it's extremely rare and essentially always a temporary state of being

[surreal rover]

Heres the St Lawrence going into lake Ontario and if i remember correctly Magnolia County sits on the shore of lake superior so it would be a delta and while the image above is the wrong lake in the system as what would be the State of Superior doesnt have any major rivers aside from St Mary's River which cuts through Sault Ste. Marie then forks to the east and south its close enough to justify it in this semifictional setting because building on the border would be a mess

The island in MC kinda looks like Wolfe island too lol

[obsidian cedar]

The issue is the water to land ratio is way off in MC to really be a delta quite like that. Wolfe and Howe Island is probably like 50/50 water and land, with the 50+ side being water. It also doesn't come down from a river in the mountains but is really a bunch of islands all the way back up to Grenadier and Oak Island before where it actually starts to look almost like a river.

[obsidian cedar]

Did anyone else see the two one-way roads into the new strip mall going the same direction with no road going out?

[cloud pelican]

Phillip is haunting Philip

If that makes any sense

[fallow fable]

Hi. Idk if this is the right place to ask, but ive been binging a bunch of the cs2 videos and it made me get it for myself even tho i heard about the performance issues. Unfortunately my game stutters ALOT and had a bunch of crashes. I was mostly wondering 1: What specs are City planner plays running and 2: is there any obvious things i can do to improve performance? My system is 5+ years old but i have a 10 gen i5 anda 3070 so i didnt think that would be a huge issue. Thanks! :)

[rugged hemlock]

Make sure to set graphics to medium

My pc is 8 years old and can tolerate that

Tolerate

Still takes half an hour to load with mods though

[fallow fable]

I put graphics to low and and was obly running 5 mods like anarchy and move it that shouldn't cause performance issues. Even then if I placed a road it would take it a second to actually get placed down.

[rugged hemlock]

CPU could be bottlenecking but I ain’t a computer expert by any means

Do you have a lot of disk space?

[fallow fable]

Yea i got alot of space left on my ssd

[knotty tulip]

i wonder if the intercity buses to MC are still insanely overpriced

[grim grove]

they should really add coaches or allow you to better differentiate between bus services

I'd like to see variable passenger train/metro/tram cars too but it is a city builder after all not a transit game

[old matrix]

um.... https://mods.paradoxplaza.com/mods/90794/Windows

That's got variable trains and metro. Washi I believe also has more trains, metro and trams in a pack too... you select which consist you want from the Line Details drop down, which should show if there is more than one option.

[grim grove]

I’ll be honest i totally forgot mods exist, thank you for blessing me with this

[spring wind]

Hi folks - I am a long time lurker but I have been playing along with magnolia county for over a year now. That said, my game corrupted 6 months ago (in the middle of episode 39) and I have wanted to keep playing along generally where I left off but using Phil's save file. At the time, there was only save files for episodes 37 and 40 but now, the earliest I can find is save 45. Is there anywhere I can find an earlier save file or am I totally hooped (and just start again from save 45)?

[surreal rover]

Good question

[thorn wolf]

i think the cliff texture mod would be a great addition to magnolia county now phil isnt just removing every lumpy and bumpy

[surreal rover]

I prefer bumpies and lumpies over lumpies and bumpies they just look better to me

[midnight yoke]

Is it just me or did all the chuckles faces posted all over remind anyone else of Benito Mussolini's campaign headquarters? Totally looks like he's starting a cult or something

Loved the episode though

The idea of doing the coaster was really cool

[tulip python]

I'm wondering if assets from the first CS could be converted to CS2 to provide more rides and coasters to Magnolia County?

[stiff scroll]

no new meshes can be imported at all until the asset editor is released, and even after that, my understanding is that basically cs1 meshes and textures would be totally useless in cs2 because of differences in how assets are made

[tulip python]

That's a bummer

[inner dust]

Just started my own build in the Magnolia map because I loved following the series, but it’s a bit more complicated with economy 2.0. I have to approach expanding very different, but it’s been fun so far 👍

[devout jackal]

hello there ! has anyone had any issue with the map since the last patch?

[devout jackal]

nevermind it was coming from the red lights enhancement mod

mybad!

[random nebula]

no not at all (i dont play cities skylines 2)

[devout jackal]

lmfaooo

[hollow grove]

is there a way to get landmarks whitout the pre order?

[junior zinc]

No, unfortunately.

That was the marketing

[cursive shoal]

is it just me or does anyone else have the problem that the game crashes wen its trying to load the mc play set

[vernal hatch]

your computer might not be powerful enough for it

[cursive shoal]

funny enugh its powerfull enugh taht i can play minecraft with shader and 400 mods and still have over 90 fps

[wind tiger]

Is Ep 50 gonna be two hours??

[old matrix]

two days not two hours...

[soft maple]

ive been watching magnolia county since the beginning but ive just started playing cs2 for over a week now

why does he make it look so easy when he plays 🥶

[surreal rover]

Experience and editing

[azure hearth]

I've noticed that in the new episode there a level crossing between tram and train tracks

i dont think its that realistic and the gates acted funky when i tried it in the game

would it be possible to grade seperate that

[old matrix]

Wonder if you could jank in a supernode ?

[junior tendon]

Just watched the latest MC episode, and it's actually made me like Paradise Bay. I've always kind of been sour towards it since I thought it was just kind of ugly, and really wasn't more than a large suburb of Bend. Now it really does feel like Midwestern city. I still think Bend should be the powerhouse of the region, but Paradise Bay would do well as the second major city. Maybe a like a San Francisco-Oakland or Philadelphia-Camden kind of relationship.

[misty leaf]

Just watched the new MC episode. I have a suggestion, but it would require some mulligans in the new industrial park area. The new car factory is missing some pretty crucial elements that a real factory wouldn't be able to operate without. The biggest one being large on-site staging lots for finished vehicles awaiting delivery. A rail line running right along this area would also be the most realistic, since that's how most cars are shipped in the US. There's also something in the asset description saying "The cars of tomorrow are built here today" and that gives me the idea that its an EV factory. Rather than use Tesla's southwestern gigafactories as inspiration I'd suggest using the Rivian factory in Normal IL as reference to how MC's new factory should fit in. A real midwestern EV specific factory!

[distant zenith]

I would've rotated that Northeastern Inn so the windows face the street and not overlook people's houses

[devout creek]

I'm binging through Magnolia County as I just got CC2 this month. I'm so happy to see our girl Jamila|| files for divorce|| in ep 41 that I cheered. Loving the storylines and characters as a part of the city building journey, and it's changed how I play the game from my CC1 days

[junior tendon]

Why is there a city builder interrupting my Midwestern political drama?

[devout creek]

I could watch a whole show about them

[midnight yoke]

Watching the newest episode right now. Having to crank up the view speed because I have to work in the morning.

I can't wait for part two

[winter zenith]

when will mod list be updated

[worthy sphinx]

I had to start my own recreation of this due to SB failing me again and again

[worthy sphinx]

is there a mod like legacyflavour that works with the current game?

[torn moss]

There are several individual mods that do the same things Legacy flavour did. I'd recommend looking on paradox mods for em

[elfin axle]

Do you remember any of them?

[torn moss]

No I don't because I don't play CS2 for myself much. Your best bet is looking at Phill's playset for series like segunda beach or magnolia county

[distant zenith]

Can't say I'm a fan of Take-Some-Liberty Rail on this one. I just feel that would not be how a station would be laid out

🤔

[bright elm]

Honestly I'm tired of Sheila Johnson as a character, she's just so nakedly corrupt and self serving

[opal terrace]

god forbid a character be realistic ./lh

[bright elm]

yeah, maybe a little too realistic 😅

[torn moss]

Jeez I don't think she's that evil...

She definitely does a lot of things to that are just for politics but she hasn't done much that's actively made life for people worse

[bright elm]

She bungled the state's response to the Bailey Fire with deadly consequences. Over three thousand people perished because Sheila was more focused on her sweetheart backroom deal with Hancock Energy than handling a major crisis

[torn moss]

Yeah, but the thing to remember is that realistically, you can't just make a firefighting helicopter depot appear out of nowhere
There isn't much the Governor realistically could have done imo

Sure she could have not done the oil deal

But that's a reach to expect a politician to do

(I like that we're having debates over these fictional characters like they're real politicians 😭)

[bright elm]

She could have ordered an evacuation and activated the national guard to assist with evacuating or fire fighting duties (if they're trained to do so.) She could directed firefighters from other counties to assist and requested assistance from other states. She was just absent while the entire county burned, no laws were likely broken but it just is a failure of leadership

[bright elm]

(It's a nice distraction from the real world tbh)

[torn moss]

That's fair actually but I don't even know if magnolia county had disaster facilities like bunkers at that time

Cause there was an episode right after where they built a bunch of them

Honestly if they didn't have em that is a big oversight 😭

[bright elm]

There were ones that had been previously built but they had to be decommissioned due to the county having a budget crisis

[torn moss]

Damn

Oh wait I think that was after the fire

[bright elm]

That sounds right actually, I think he overcorrected then ran out of money with economy 2.0

[torn moss]

I thnk the episode you're talking about is the one after the Economy 2.0 patch?

[torn moss]

Yeah

Magnolia county had invested in a big fire station by then but I don't think that's enough to fend off an entire wildfire

And that was done by the county, NOT Sheila

[bright elm]

Again, I'm not saying that the initial mishandling was her fault, but she failed to step in and be the adult in the room so to speak

[torn moss]

Yeah

[bright elm]

And if exit polling is any indication, voters still haven't forgiven her

[elfin axle]

A disgraced governor running for mayor of a major city would never happen

[bright elm]

I agree, it's not realistic in the slightest /S

Oh jeez, she's down by fifty points

[opal terrace]

as much as I like the idea of a freeway to Paradise Bay (provided it was built right) nothing else in sheila's plan sounds acceptable

[midnight yoke]

Anyone else see the cul-de-sac by the train station and think that would be a perfect spot for a giant water fountain pocket park with some benches, and then some trees on both sides? Like have the giant tree display on the left, slightly smaller have a very large fountain in the middle, and then have a smaller tree display on the right? That way it goes up at an angle in height, drawing the attention to the station as it approaches?

[tulip python]

Sounds like she should run for Congress 😛

[junior zinc]

It's a city policy, not a mod!

[kind rain]

I shall fight to make sure all city speed limits are 6.9!

[elfin axle]

I wouldn’t surprised if she shows up as a talking head

[bright elm]

Yeah, yeah

[elfin axle]

I mean what else is a disgraced politician to do?

I’d expect to hear her all over the magnolia county area talk shows

[marsh spruce]

Im encouraging people to vote! This will be an important election!

[kind rain]

Voting is on CPP community tab on YouTube

[inner dust]

I have a sweet spot for Sheila

Our local economy needs her

[night bay]

thoughts anyone?

[torn moss]

Don't forget to vote for your city council for paradise bay!
Vote who you think will run Paradise Bay the best!

[inner dust]

Where can we vote

[torn moss]

Community tab on CPP's channel

[azure hearth]

I think removing local bus service from paradise bay was a bad idea, some routes should be added to go in directions not covered by the trams and so that areas farther from a tram station have an easier way to get to a tram route

[surreal rover]

Ngl i wish it was a subway instead of trams no one gives subways any love

Like a subway netowrk for the city itself and an express train on the subway system from the city to the airport

Can even have it connected to the central station and the above ground tracks with an underground platform under the building itself so you can transfer from regional to local train services and vice versa

[stiff scroll]

magnolia county is way, way, way too small to accommodate a subway system by us standards

[surreal rover]

I mean yes but aren't half the people on the city council European now XD i know they can bring that pragmatism to the city transportation system

[old matrix]

Spend billions on a subway or run light rail overground (trams or on existing rail infrastructure)? Hmmm... is this Edinburgh Clowncil or sensible folks?

[inner dust]

Think of it this way, the county seems to be a frequent target for devastating tornadoes. Building a subway network also provides safe shelters for the local community

[dusk anchor]

needs a update can someone let CPP know

[surreal rover]

What are you referencing exactly this is the general chat for MC and you gave no actual context XD

[silent fern]

I like subways too...though, Tigon has a point...cost...but in crowded cities Subways don't add anything to traffic on the roads, where trams do.... subways only take away cars from road... if you keep them underground....

[surreal rover]

Ye like my idea is subway and hyperwalkable city above it

[dusk anchor]

The map or something that he created

[old matrix]

Aye, but what specifically "need a update"(sic)? Something about the map? Or do you mean a new episode? Or what exactly? (an update BTW, for reference)

[dusk anchor]

i'm looking

I'm pretty sure it's the map but let me confirm

[kind rain]

Doesn't he do map updates every 5 videos?

[dusk anchor]

no it's that Toolbar that tell him which service is low

[kind rain]

RICO?

[torn moss]

You mean a mod? pretty sure what you're referring to is a mod that Phill doesn't develop...

[dusk anchor]

city stat i dont know if it's issue but, I could see something going wrong

[kind rain]

You're being very ambiguous

[torn moss]

This?

[dusk anchor]

yes

[torn moss]

If it needs an update, Phil isn't the one to tell
Phill did not develop this mod, someone else did (I can't remember the name of the author) so you'll have to wait for them to update it

[dusk anchor]

When i downloaded it, it had a golden warning

[torn moss]

Phil used it in his latest video and it worked fine

Has there been an update to the game since Phil's latest cs2 video?

[dusk anchor]

true, Just keep our eye on it

no

[torn moss]

Then it should be fine

[dusk anchor]

what does the oli icons under the track do

[elfin axle]

Can you show a screenshot?

I’m thinking you might be referring to an oil cargo station from Tigon’s rail infrastructure pack

[elfin axle]

I love the chapter titles recently on the YouTube videos

[dusk anchor]

Ok I’ll take a look at that when I get home

[elfin axle]

The pack comes with a smaller rail yard, train tracks without electricity, diesel locomotives, and dedicated cargo train stations for each resource type.

[old matrix]

And also a high-speed track and train... 😉

[dusk anchor]

Oh I wonder would cs come better to customize a HOV lane

[elfin axle]

Oh! Never realized!

I guess i need to start using those

[azure hearth]

tbh id want expanded commuter rail with a station in downtown bend that also connects to bailey rather than a subway

there could also be new intercity route that runs from the eastern outside connection to downtown bend to paradise bay, maybe even a stop near the stadium

the new commuter rail line also could go smthg like bailey to downtown bend to ike yards to university to paradise bay

university to downtown bend definetely deserves a direct rail connection imo

[elfin axle]

Are there enough passengers to justify it?

[azure hearth]

i believe there would be just based off the density of downtown bend

this connects the 2 biggest cities in the region

also gives cpp a chance to use the cool new rail bridge assets

[dusk lance]

im currently on the 6th episode i cant wait to catch up with magnolia county i love city planner plays's design which is one thing i strugle with

[tulip python]

I'm wondering if a monorail system would be feasible, if possible

[stiff scroll]

tbh if they add them to the game it'd be an interesting idea

maybe something inspired by seattle where paradise bay hosts a big expo and sheila and chuckles conspire to spite the city by making them pay for a monorail that just goes to the expo center, chuckles' theme park, and governor's hill

[tulip python]

Or it would go the Simpson's route where the monorail only works with solar power. Making it effectively useless when winter or other bad weather hits the State of Superior

[opal terrace]

Would be hilarious if we had a whole episode where some shady monorail salesman sells a monorail to one of the smaller towns and Margaret "Marge" Sampson protests

[surreal rover]

Would be funny if Shelia got arrested and did time for fraud or something

[tulip python]

Right?

[elfin axle]

Where’s the transit chart

Monorail falls under gadgetbahn

Dangleway = cable car

The major upside of monorail is that it deals well with elevation

Slow switching is a major issue with monorail compared to rail

[tulip python]

Will there be an expy or parody of Kwik Trip/Kwik Star in the State of Superior one day? Just a huge truck stop like the one that is at 11350 28th Street in Kenosha?

[tropic berry]

Man, I get it's rough out there, but I'm getting so tired of everything being monetized so hard

Pay a monthly fee to watch a video in my subscription feed "early"? With no indication of when it's available otherwise? And the video has ads? And the description starts with an ad? Like what are we doing here

On a channel with merchandise, on top fo that

and a donation request on its website

[tulip python]

@tropic berry I'm guessing the channel is Phil's primary source of income and merchandise does cost money to produce and ship out.

[tropic berry]

Sorry, do you not pay for the cost of producing and shipping merchandise by charging for the merchandise?

[stiff scroll]

merchandise for any org or creator is typically an extremely small profit margin and rarely makes up any significant portion of someone's income, so "on a channel with merchandise" probably doesn't really meaningfully affect the equation

creators/orgs sell merch because people want it and because then they wear it and advertise whatever you're doing, not because it really tends to make up a major part of their income stream

[kind rain]

I dont pay to subscribe for the early videos. I do it to show support and help him earn money so he can continue to make content I enjoy. Anything else is a bonus

[muted glade]

Yeah I mean, Phil with streams, patrons/members, and closing in on nearly a million subs clearly does way way better than most of us. That being said, I'd rather Phil get rich than some exec at a company. Seems like a decent guy and I love his content. I do wish the member first videos actually said when they are coming out. I thought it was one day late, but youtube says it was posted a day ago and can't watch.

[kind rain]

Sorry for the long EA period on this one, but there are a couple of reasons for it. Due to the integration, I cannot release the video until Monday; however, on Monday I am posting an embargoed Town to City video, showcasing full Early-Access gameplay. My goal is to release that at embargo, so this one gets bumped a day back.

[muted glade]

You cannot release the video? I'm not on discord much but are you Phil's burner?

[kind rain]

No lol

[main herald]

That sounds like something Phil’s Burner account would say

[kind rain]

[junior tendon]

I gotta way to test if it’s his burner:

[lapis narwhal]

So Episode 54 is coming out tomrrow?

[muted glade]

Oh lol did you just quote Phil from somewhere? I didn't notice that line. I was very confused as to why you'd be saying that

[kind rain]

Yes lol it's from #notice-board

[torn moss]

Phill is the only person on YouTube I have a membership for

I just find his content really cool! I'm happy to support him

[torn moss]

Merch was already mentioned but ads on the video still don't earn YouTubers that much, either.

I don't see anything wrong with giving people who support him benefits for doing so, if these people are willing to pay their own hard earned money to a random stranger on the internet then getting something out of it makes sense

[crisp sun]

If I had the ability to give Phil money I would (though I dislike the idea of going through YouTube to do it)

[surreal rover]

YouTube takes a big cut buy merch it gives more money to Phil than the middleman

so WTH is up with NE Pack

[supple cedar]

I have like three or four that I would pay to have the early access and because there is a lot of time and energy that goes into videos. I’d rather give a couple of bucks to a small content creator than continue having HBOMax raise rates and cut content every six months.

[torn moss]

Yes. Exactly

[main herald]

CPP has been this new dlc for MC so much

I can’t wait to see how this improves the county

[wooden patio]

This might be insane, but having watched the overview video of the DLC I think having Paradise Bay be flooded would be a fun lore for a future MC episode

[main herald]

Flooded by what?

This is Lake Superior not the Gulf of Mexico during the hurricane season

[dusk lance]

will the new dlc have any free assets like the industries?

[wind tiger]

LAKE SUPERIOR??

[wind tiger]

-# ITS GULF OF AMERICA BRO HAVE YOU NOT BEEN PAYING ATTENTION

[main herald]

Magnolia county is set in the fictional state of superior in the present-day upper peninsula of Michigan, so the body of water it’s on is actually Lake Superior. That’s also one of the reasons why he removed the large beach in paradise bay

[dusk anchor]

does he use move it or beta?

Could I run CS2 on my computer? I have an AMD Ryzen 5 7600x 6 Core processor, 32gb DDR5 RAM, and a Radeon RX 7800 RT graphics card.

[opal terrace]

I have a RX 6600 with otherwise identical specs. It's not the best experience around but it's fairly smooth until around 200k population

[stiff scroll]

you should be just fine, your specs are fairly similar to mine and i consistently pull about 30 FPS at medium-to-high graphics settings

[junior tendon]

Alright, cool! I’ll probably wait till the winter sale to get it.

[paper slate]

ive been wondering
is magnolia county canceled? or postponed? i feel like i havcent heard anything and might be confused

[stiff scroll]

there should be more magnolia county soon

cpp was waiting for the new patch to drop to fix some of the bugs he was having and then was also on vacation

[wind tiger]

Not from what I understand but with the new DLC releasing, there was also a new patch that kinda broke some things and Phil needs to take time to “save” his saves essentially.

[paper slate]

oh...

[kind rain]

It was because of bugs pre patch that MC was dying. Now with the patch he can let the simulation run and see if things get fixed

[naive cobalt]

Hi all, a newbie here. I tried running the MC official saved playset, but get the situation of where the map will load, but the UI will not (making it unplayable). Reading on the paradox forums, it's a mods issue affecting a number of saved games - removing all mods means a vanilla map is fine. I was just wondering, has anyone tried playing the MC save game, and had success by removing one (or more) particular mods?

[snow apex]

Its been a while. So either MC truly is dead (I doubt it since he would announce such a thing) or he is cooking a 3 star michelin video.

[main herald]

hes been working on it and thats all i know

[rugged hemlock]

For me it was a mod that made the game runable at 8X speed

Took it off and everything worked fine

When I started a new city, I haven’t tested it on older savegames yet

[distant zenith]

I would've preferred to have seen pedestrian access there too tbh.

Be curious to know how the game's pathing works here, because cyclists in the real world would probably take the shortest route here

[kind rain]

Bikes won't use it since I dont think the game allows bike lanes on trams

[distant zenith]

Fair bit of bike traffic there

[wispy creek]

Hey, while watching today's video, I noticed that Hidden Valley did not have one of Bend's two new crematoriums assigned to it.

[azure hearth]

no I think bikes can use it since it's a road with tram lines not js a tram route

also sometimes its like that irl where the safest path isn't the shortest and it all depends on ur confidence

[open fern]

I must be missing a mod cause when i start the ep 54 save i get massive Abandoning due to not being zoned right. but i am using the mod list with SKyve import.

[vernal hatch]

i love how it was both james and russ doing it not just one of them

[junior tendon]

City Planner Pings

[kind rain]

Adjust your notifications then

[autumn stratus]

The Bus hub in Downtown Bend needs to be bigger and more accessible, no idea how it works in CPPs save where he even has 2 less platforms, but especially the blue and dark blue lines are constantly backing up here, eventually despawning and because the game still can't spawn them in a logical timing they all end up backed up on that street again, which also affects the trams.
(Bailey needs a train connection anyway and the neighbourhood next to Uptown could get a new tram line, that would be 2 saved bus lines)

[vernal hatch]

i think he should replace it with the new brutalist one. it has more terminals, and is an overall better asset

[autumn stratus]

The problem with all of these are they all share one entry on the right an one exit on the left. That way even when they have more platforms, when two buses from the same line are there at the same time, all platforms behind that are blocked because one bus will be at the platform and the other will wait on the one and only entryway.

I'd do a custom bus station with just one way alleys to have multiple entries and enough space for at least two buses waiting in front of each stop without blocking any other lines.

[vernal hatch]

that would be a good idea too. i have made a few custom bus hubs over the years.

[autumn stratus]

I mean just something quickly drawn in like this already works 100x better, it only needs a better solution for pedestrians(maybe an overpass) and then some detailing ^^

[vernal hatch]

i make a custom one in road builder usually

[spring jasper]

Mhh, does we have any idea if CPP series have survived the game upgrade ?

[kind rain]

What do you mean

[spring jasper]

like, if mods used did not get broken during the update
if I remember, the bike update did broke things

[kind rain]

His saved were broken by other issues. But he has since recovered Magnolia (already posted a video) and he is working on Segunda

[torn moss]

He has recovered segunda, actually
Next video is gonna be segunda I think

[tired phoenix]

I thought he said they were broken again in a recent live stream.

[kind rain]

Can't confirm that, he usually streams when I am at work lol

But I will say he's made no mention of any more issues since posting the latest magnolia county, and made plans for segunda

[lyric ether]

Do you guys think they uploads will become more regular on MC again any time soon?

[torn moss]

It's been 2 weeks since the last magnolia county video, which is a bit of time
But he also made a video about city skylines 12 days ago, in fact 2 videos

Hell he made one today talking about the new studio switch

He is still making city skylines videos bro 🙃 they just aren't as frequent cause he's mixing in other stuff in the uploads

[kind rain]

MC and SB should be in normal rotation again soon, since he just got them working. Now that Tropico is done, and Manor Lords is in its final few episodes, he'll likely focus on Cities and Anno

[lyric ether]

No problem thanks for the answers @kind rain and @torn moss I know there was a mc recently but the one before was 3 months ago which I why I asked! I watch all his series so it’s not about seeing more CPP just more MC

[west sierra]

Need to get the build running again. Have been waiting on Static Ploppables and a couple others. Lots of mods in that one, so all of the updates in rapid succession have made MC the hardest to get running. Should be coming back to it soon.

[lyric ether]

Thank you for the update

[wicked needle]

Hey guys, i just started making my own Magnolia County, following the videos and i'm having sooo much fun BUT...

i reaaaaally messed up in episode 4 and 5; the layouts were terrible kkkkkk' so i wanted to ask, and don't know if this is the right place, but anyone that has followed the steps has a save that stopped in episode 5, so i could go on from episode 6?

thxxx

[junior tendon]

CPP uploads the save file every five episodes, there should be an episode 5 save file on Paradox Mods.

[wicked needle]

there isn't... magnolia county saves starts on episode 45 kkkkkkkkkkkk'

so or there isnt.. or i just can't find

[dusty forge]

The bridges are level, I appreciate this.

[ionic inlet]

Click on the version box on the right side, if I remember correctly CPP uploads each save as a version rather than as separate uploads for each

Should have looked first, I see what you mean now. I am not sure if older versions are not appearing anymore because there are too many or if the older ones were removed but the earlier saves were available previously

[wicked needle]

:/

[pine cedar]

Let me ask and pls city planner plays pls do read my comment on your last video in mulligan county i mean magnolia county on five bridges im kaptminero media and i would like to ask and maybe yiu could put a subway in magnolia county its long overdue that you havent put a subway in magnolia county

And why there is two interchange in charity bay you could do it one or use this picture as refrence and incoporate the industrt area to so that there will be no highway beside the bridge and no two interchange it just in close distance it will cost traffic jam try to think of using this interchange

This is what im telling why there is two interchange a highway near the bridge

[pine cedar]

Ill watch again the 5 bridges i might miss something

[nocturne crane]

the three interchanges was a bit odd, i can totally understand two but three is a lot. Probably worth waiting for the next video though bc he might be changing density a lot, and we know a lot is going to change.

[pine cedar]

Hey phil were will we expect the next episode of mulligan county i mean magnolia

[vernal hatch]

i think you should have a connection between the superior highway and riverbend thats easier to go between

because right now it would be really complicated

[distant zenith]

That path could've run through that gap couldn't it?

[distant zenith]

He forgot to ban parking on this bit

Also that right-turn

Oh nvm he noticed 😄

I still think that connection is over capacity

[kind rain]

You gotta wait til the end to give feedback. He usually always fixes little things

[crimson thicket]

Funny how these thing come out immediately when you talk about it https://mods.paradoxplaza.com/mods/134071/Any

[main herald]

Wow

Insane work

[main herald]

That asset looks pretty cool

But

It’s not quite the freighters

I say as I realize I am basically making excuses to do work I don’t have to do

[obsidian cedar]

Anyone know the name of the NA roads mod that was in the last episode?

[hollow shard]

North American overhaul

[obsidian cedar]

Sweet! Thanks.

[wispy creek]

Hey Phil! Because you have barges going up and down the river now, you can lower the heights of multiple bridges along the Carp River!

[robust dove]

I am going to start the MC series

[echo wing]

I've seen that Segunda Beach map has been updated with new water simulation and populated with fish resources, is there any plan to do the same also on MC? sorry if I may have asked something that has been already answered

[kind rain]

He already did it for MC

[kind rain]

https://vimeo.com/1160349974/d271fafeff?share=copy&fl=sv&fe=ci

[obsidian cedar]

I fixed the water in Magnolia County too but I added a stream and broke the divide near "bend". I hate that the river splts going downstream. Very unrealisitc.

[echo wing]

Thanks for the reply but I was referring more to this stream

https://www.youtube.com/live/SjFarX4KyUQ?si=88xCoQ0O3U4Y563a

At the end of the stream the basic map was not finished yet and I was wondering if it was completed off stream...but I rewatched the stream and it was said that it's going to be completed in a future stream 😁

[stiff scroll]

in general, yes, but given the distances involved this is pretty clearly a river delta, one of the few types of geography where distributaries are not uncommon

[obsidian cedar]

I agree that it's not uncommon in a delta. But the big islands tend to happen in deltas where two or more significant soures collide. There just doesn't seem to be a significant reason for such a massive island on this map.

So I fixed it on mine. My plan is to add a canal between the two rivers at some point.

Plus this way I get waterfalls.

[robust dove]

Just started MC

can't wait

[idle jewel]

Hey Phil, the trees around the new Ag research fields look nice but I think the University would want the fields to be visible from the highway (it is I Superior’s showpiece after all). MC 60 at 34:27

At Ag research stations you’ll often see different (and several smaller) rows or test fields planted and the University would want farmers to easily be able to drive past and check the differences (sort of like an exhibit). For research, but also a purpose/goal of the ag research stations are to promote more productive and responsible Ag practices/methods/seed types in different biomes/parts of the state (as they vary quite a bit).

Instead of what you did, you could use the trees to divide the larger field into smaller fields with slightly different colors, removing the trees entirely along the highway.

For examples see how the trees are placed at the UW Spooner, Arlington, and the Hancock UW Ag research stations. At least to me, Spooner (the UW’s oldest and most northern ag station) makes the most sense for the Superior geography/soil types and what u think would look the nicest (and be most relevant) for this build.

[random cloud]

Did a updated Magnolia County Map get uploaded from the stream a few weeks ago when did map updates?

[potent shale]

Hey so when’s metro gonna be introduced into the build?

[stiff scroll]

i don't think Phil has ever mentioned bringing a metro to Magnolia County

[eternal bramble]

just out of curiosity when will we get future magnolia county videos? I found this channel through this series and ahve been working my way through the verde beach series, but was just wondering

[inner dust]

Should be soon

He mentioned being almost done with a Chairity bay mulligan video

[main herald]

Is this what happens to MC fans whenever Phil posts a Town to City video

[stoic flame]

Just watched the last video in Vimeo and when Phil talked about linking Charity Bay with Paradise Bay I thought would be a really good opportunity tu use ferries

[spring escarp]

Hey, y’all, I didn’t know where else to put this but does anyone know if Phil has an instagram?

[oak gyro]

I can't confirm but I don't think so
Not that's on his website or anything, and nothing legitimate shows up when you search on ig

[floral nest]

Is there an updated mod list for mc

[oblique parcel]

total ass

[stoic flame]

Hey in the last video there's a link for Network Multitools but everytime I click it, it redirects me to my dms on discord. Does anyone have the link to the mod?

[loud crypt]

u gotta be in the cs2 modding discord or whatever

[flint cliff]

Im a member of that community but when clicking the link in the video it brings me to the welcome page of the server, does anyone know where to go from there to check out the Network Multitool mod?

[golden harbor]

in the cs2 modding discord, scroll to the bottom of the guide on the left hand side, under community - major mods click on lucas-mods, then network tools - unlisted early access, scroll to the top of the thread it opens, the top post will be info about the mod, a disclaimer, and a link right above the mod thumbnail at the bottom of the post. i would link the post or the pdx mods download but i dont know the rules here and the creator asks us to not link directly to the pdx mods download.

[sand timber]

is this server about city skylines two

[opal terrace]

yes

[cloud pelican]

not necessarily

it's about city planner plays (the youtuber) but the big parts of it are cities skylines 1 and 2
