The fact that districts and industry areas can overlap also means that their names and symbols can overlap. All of the new features are tucked away in repurposed menus and areas, with tiny little buttons to try and filter the myriad of options. Industries is, as you might have gathered, another offender in this regard. It’s had a ton of fantastic additions like the added guiding lines when layout your road network, being able to zoom in and rename individual roads and fiddle with traffic lights and stop signs, but that adds a lot of visual noise. My main problem with Cities: Skylines now is that it’s starting to feel some of the bloat of years of additions. It’s as simple as dropping a few sorting and post offices around and letting yet another flotilla of little vans and trucks clog up your roads. The postal service feels weirdly unrelated to all of these, being crammed in under the same section as other public transport methods. A range of new policies can allow workers’ unions, work safety, add city-wide Wi-Fi and more. Warehouses can be used to store finished goods while there’s a new cargo airport for things to come in and out of your city.
It’s weird that you can only build one of each of these, but these are the tail end of your specialisation.Īround this core system, Industries has thrown in a ton of other new features, some complimentary, others seemingly a bit standalone.
Persist, level up, and you’ll go from a furniture factory and bakery through to electronics factories and other luxury goods. This isn’t something you can do right out of the gate, but every city in this game is a gradual escalation. It’s a sizeable investment as well, and to level up requires for you to create and fill a certain number of job slots and profit from the system. Retrofitting structures into an existing road network is tricky at the best of times, but here they’re often large, bulky and can be quite awkward to fit in if you’ve got a tightly packed set of roads. Again, you can just drop these in alongside existing logging plants and box factories, but you’ll get by far the most out of it if you really dig in and combine it with a custom build road network.
Once done, you need to head over to the Rubbish & Industry tab (obviously), and then start laying your specific buildings.Īcross forestry, farming, ore and oil – the same four natural resources industries already relied on – you start off placing a hub, then add extractors, processing plants and finally factories and unique one-off buildings to turn all of that into things to sell. In fact, it’s a new option under the same districts and areas tab, which took me far too long to realise. The first thing you have to do is create an industrial zone, painting it onto the map in a similar way to the existing districts.
