well i mean mods are the only reason CS1 was good as well. I couldn't play it vanilla without vomiting.

Modders were the reason why I have 2700 hours+ in CS1 rather than about 50, thinking CS2 would be any different makes no sense.

As an old mapper many moons ago i just wanna weigh in that those "runny" decals with a sharp edge are usually used on walls, simulating grime from years of fluid running down it, usually rain. Of course you can use it wherever it would look good, i've used it along the edge of roads in the past.

Thank you so much for showcasing the Extra3.0 mods and assets Biffa, loved the video and i hope you had fun playing with these new tools :) the roundabout looked so good with the decals and road arrow, and of course YORKSHIRE TEA! 🤩

I wish one of the first mods we get is a “blueprints” mod where you can save a modded/ asseted building or road system to a folder and reuse it in other maps as a prefabbed building- so you don’t need to custom make that med clinic every time

I love the dirrrty dirrrty decals! The potholes especially look surprisingly realistic for something just pasted onto the surface, the leaky dumpsters are great, and I think you did a decent job of hiding the straight edge on some of the road stain decals. Using the beach/sand textures to create wasteland is really nice too, those little dusty triangles of road on the roundabout, and the reservations/islands on the approach, all look really detailed and like you'd expect to see in real life. I remember when this kind of detailing was something you'd never really done before and the first few times you tried it, and you've just got more and more skilled at it over the years, considering CS2 is still only just getting support for some of this stuff this is really awesome :)

Hey Biff, I wanted to point out another use for some of the stain details you showed off at 15:30 , you can use the grime stripes under ledges on buildings to show some of the staining that naturally happens over time from rain pouring off a surface. so under a windowsill or a balcony some of those vertical grime stains could really age the building.

Wow this is just amazing !!! I sometimes forget to do fine detailing while playing ! Being a newbie, imLearning the first city skylines remastered game on ps5at the moment ! But on my next map I will take it slow and detail everything I put in my city! The PC version is astonishing what you can do! 👍 I just unlocked Airport lol 👍😁

You need to play this game again biffa the assets are really worth it and mods are working hard, you even have ur own poster!

this game has a lota potential with modding

12:46 The slightly curved arrow (immediately to the left of the TAXI BUS decal) is something I've always wanted to see used to indicate two lanes merging into one, e.g. at a motorway slip road. I'd put those all over my city if I was playing 😅 Also the giant Yorkshire Tea 'poster' will be excellent if you can find an empty billboard prop/asset to stick it on! (Or even a billboard with an existing poster, if you can just paste Yorkshire Tea on top of it?)

I had an idea while watching this. What if you did a city build based around your Manor Lords build. The name of the town may have changed over the years, but there are still some historical sites left over scattered about or some of the original road layout remains in the old downtown area. Would be an interesting watch.

I am a heavy detailer and I love what these modders have done, but the cities are still the same because we need the asset editor. For example if I want to build a UK city then that's impossible. This is definitely not everything detailers need, but is for sure a step forward.

Biffa, you finally get to do a round-about and you don't use the round-about markings. 🤔

Need to play Powerwash Simulator to clean up the concrete Biffa!

Hey Biffa, awesome video. I want to ask though, at 2:20, when buldozing the poster slowly disappeared until you moved the camera. this happens to me very often, not just when buldozing, rather when leaving something on the screen for a few seconds. Is there a way to disable that? I didn't play CS2 in a month or so, and I don't think it happened before. Thank you!

Welcome back Mr. Hugo There!

The only thing I've seen here today that I would use is the replacement for TMPE. That was a must-have. I never used decals in CS1, although some might be nice. The fence tool is nice, too, but not necessary. I'm not a detailer.

Those who make mods, are going to save CS2. I am impressed with what they have done already and look forward to seeing more!! Detailing makes all the difference in this game!! Thanks for showing us🤩

it is really a shame that the game is so reliant on modders to get good. It is not like the developers didn't have the huge mod data base from CS1 to pick up from. And on top of that they charge you outrageous amounts for pitiful content addition. Paradox is just a big scam relying on free labor from modders

3:53 could you use the parallel road tool with the bus lane?

@tigonologdring9189

Ай бұрын

Yes, you can use parallel on any networked asset: hedges, fences, road lines, bus lanes... very useful if you've drawn a custom carpark with an access lane: set the parallel, draw a solid white line (or whatever your flavour of preference) and you'll have both sides marked perfectly parallel. Same for drawing hedged in paths: parallel the hedge and put in your custom path.

I wish they had a thing where you could rmdrive the trucks to do pick ups and what not so when you make a city you csn drive/fly/boat around in it
