1. Cities Skylines Unlimited Land

The default playable area on a Cities Skylines map is 9 tiles (3×3 with any adjacent tile being unlockable) but you can go bigger thanks to a mod that’s been created in the Steam Workshop which will unlock a total of 25 tiles on a map which makes the playable area so much larger. The mod is and to get it working in the game you first of all need to subscribe to the mod (click the little tick on the image) which will add it to your Steam.

The Cities: Skylines Mods download can be completed easily without putting much effort. All you need to do is save the file to your PC and follow the instructions. There should be any problem with that, so no worries.

Go to the mods tab and check the 25 Spaces Can Unlock the full map mod. The mod will now be active and you can now expand out beyond the standard settings. Here’s a few shots of how it looks. No, I programmed my first game when I was 6years old. I know what an API is, I know what an HAL is, I know what Frameworks are, I know how a CPU is made and working and I know how to use them. I exactly know what I am speaking off. But you show a serious amount of ignorance: I demand quality.

You just see one side. Just most gamers being used to a lack of quality in any possible way doesn’t make the situation right. There is no reason for not optimzing code to the max. I would of course pay more when it’s needed.And still I would save money, because there wouldn’t be need for such insane hardware reqs like we already have.

Not optimizing code is nothing that could satisfy me as a gamer or user in general. And I don’t have to care shit how big the effort for optimizing code is, no matter what. That’s a matter of business and finances and nothign of my concern. A company cannot include every idea it has for a game within a given timeline (the project schedule) and budget. There is a trade-off triangle between time, scope, and cost (Project Management classes,ftw). Adding everything the creators dreamed of would increase time and cost, and move the project beyond the initial scope. This is what DLC, mods, and expansions are intended for.

The company can crate a usable project it can afford to given its budget, and then continue to profit from add-ons. However, game designers approach each project as a complete project, a new solution. Look at the Civ series. 6 or 7 games, all based on the same mechanics, each expounding on the last as new ideas for units, factions, and gameplay mechanics or balance become feasible. The last installment was an expansion that took what is almost the exact same game as the last, and added a few new features with that. Alongside each of those games though, are thousands of mods (and unpaid modders).

Conversely, a modder looks at the game and tends to pick out little things, “wouldn’t it be cool if I could do this, or what if this unit were more powerful, or I could add that.” It’s more of an addition of a nifty new idea than a whole new game. I use Civ because one of the mods for Beyond Earth was an oceanic city mod, with its own unique ruleset and buildings. Wouldn’t you know it, the Beyond Earth: Rising Tides expansion is focused almost solely on ocean cities and oceanic exploration, with a few modifications to other mechanics, like diplomacy and artifacts.

Civ also kind of stole the idea from the creators of Pandora: First Contact, which was a hex based game that played just like Civ, except on foreign planets with hostile aliens. Civ Beyond Earth? Foreign planets with hostile aliens, came out about a year after Pandora. My point is, I suppose, game creators can only reasonably do so much with the time they are given, modders can fill in the gaps or add new ideas to each game.

Remember, ease of modding is totally dependent on the game creator, their game design, and legal policy. Again, in Civ, you can modify units, buildings, and factions by modifying an XML file, it’s that easy. Adding new units and graphics, not so easy. What I really want to know is, why do modders do so much work for a company that isn’t paying them. They’d be better of selling their ideas than putting the work into it. At the same time, a modders vision might not align with the creators endgame 😉 So, mods are necessary to add that extra unique element to gameplay that a creator would never bother with.

At least that’s what I’ve learned over the years. Oh thank god. I bought the game a couple of weeks ago, prompting me to buy my first new ‘gaming’ computer in about 8 years, and all along playing my first city I was thinking the number of tiles allowed would be all of them eventually, so I had highways started, planning on looping around the map, I had a mess of water works and power, expecting to clean it up once I bought into certain squares, etc., and then boom, I found a 9 square limit and said wtf!?! 9 squares is NOT a ‘big’ map, it seemed less than the largest square tile in Sim City4 that also had adjacent regional cities to boot. The stand alone nature of the city (vs cohesive region) I could live with, but a 9 tile limit would prompt me returning the game, the computer, and flipping the bird to that #lame tweeter bird (which I think there is a way to stop it, but I haven’t yet found it). 25 tiles should be fine, should be enough to organize a million person stand alone metro, though really, it would nice to go bigger yet. Flying speghatti monster god bless the people that make mods!

Saving and publishing interface (click to enlarge) The save dialog also allows you to publish the map to make it playable in-game. There are some features that need to be checked before the map is ready to be published. Selecting a preview image You can take preview images of the map with the Snapshot tool. When you publish the map, you can choose one of the snapshot images to be used as the preview image in the map selection screen of a new game.

Tip: Clicking the folder icon opens up the snapshot image directory. It is possible to edit the snapshot images further in image editing software. Naming the map You can give the map a name by typing it in the provided field. The map name can be different from the save file name. The game displays the map name alongside the chosen preview image when browsing the maps in the map selection screen of a new game. Checking requirements and recommended features The checklist helps you make sure that the requirements for a functioning map are met before you publish it. Publishing the map Checking the ”Publish Map in New Game Panel” box and clicking Save will publish the map so that it is available for use in-game.

Tools The Map Editor, Asset Editor and Content Manager can be found in the Tools menu. Map Editor GUI (click to enlarge) Game Time To simulate the water flow mechanics, the Map Editor features a Game Time panel similar to the one found in-game. You can adjust how fast the time passes in the Map Editor by using the Time Panel.

Unlike in-game, however, the date does not change while in the Map Editor, and the game uses the default date when the map is played. Tip: You can also use 1, 2 and 3 keys to adjust the game speed and ␣ Space to pause / resume the game. Play/Pause – Pause or resume game progress. Accelerate Time – There are three speed settings for the in-game time. Normal, fast and very fast. Fast speed is three times the normal speed, very fast is nine times the normal speed. Several tools in the Map Editor, such as terrain editing tools and resource placing tools, use brushes to modify different aspects of the map.

Brush Size The Brush Size slider allows you to change the size of the brush. The sizes range from 50 to 2000. You are able to manually input the size by typing it into the number field. Note: When painting forests, a size '50' brush will place single trees on the map. Brush Strength The Brush Strength slider allows you to change the strength of the brush.

The strength ranges from 0.01 to 1.00. Tip: For example, with a lower strength the terrain manipulating will be less drastic, allowing for better control over the changes, especially with the Shift and Level tools. Brush Selection The game features a collection of differently shaped brushes that are suited for different types of terrain editing, such as carving a river bed or sculpting a mountain range. Tip: Clicking the folder icon opens up the brush directory used by the Map Editor.

You can add new brush shapes into the Map Editor by placing the brush images in.png format in this folder. Terrain The Map Editor in Cities: Skylines features powerful yet easy-to-use terrain editing tools. Shift Tool Lower and raise the terrain under the brush. Left click will raise and right click will lower the terrain. Changing the brush strength gives better control of the tool. Level Tool Level the terrain under the brush by first selecting the desired height and then leveling the terrain to that height.

Right click on the terrain to select the target height. Left click on the terrain to level the area to the target height.

The brush strength value dictates how drastically the tool manipulates the terrain. Tip: You can also set the target height by either using the Terrain Height slider or by typing the height into the number field located on top of the Brushes panel. Soften Tool Smooth the terrain under the brush. Left click to smooth softly and right click to smooth strongly. Tip: Soften Tool is useful for adjusting shorelines and other hard edges.

Import Heightmap (click to enlarge) Painting an entire terrain with brushes can be time consuming and it is very difficult to achieve natural looking hills and surfaces. By using, you can bypass this part of map making and focus your attention on the playability of the map instead of editing each nook and cranny of the terrain. A heightmap is a 2D image which encodes the terrain height at each texel. The whiter the texel color, the higher the terrain. Most terrain generator programs allow users to export heightmaps that are usable in the Cities: Skylines Map Editor.

The required heightmap dimensions are 1081px x 1081px. The recommended format is a grayscale, 16-bit or file. The game attempts to convert RGB and RGBA images to grayscale whenever possible. It and also supports 8-bit images. However, the precision of 8-bit images is so low that they will create noticeable steps in slopes instead of looking smooth, which is why 16-bit images are preferred instead. In 8-bit images the grayscale shade of 255 (white) equals to the height of 1024 metres in-game.

Difference between two grayscale shades (e.g. 255 and 254) equals to 4 metres. In 16-bit image the white value is 65535, so one shade equals to 1/64 metres (1,5625 cm). Length of a side of the map is 17,29 km so one city tile side equals to about 1,92 km. One pixel equals an area with side about 16 metres (17290 m / 1081 px). Heightmap directory The heightmaps are located under the game sub-folder Users Your Name AppData Local Colossal Order CitiesSkylines Addons MapEditor Heightmaps. Heightmap Grid Template.

Export Heightmap (click to enlarge) The Map Editor enables you to export a heightmap for use in 3rd party software. You can export any map you have created in the Map Editor to be further edited with suitable image editing software. Precision Precision setting allow you to export the heightmap in 8-bit or 16-bit format.

Note: Some 3rd party image software may not be able to edit 16-bit heightmaps. Format The format setting allows you to export the heightmap in three different file formats:.png,.raw and. The exported heightmap is located in the same sub-folder as other heightmaps, Files MapEditor Heightmaps. Water Water areas are a requirement for a functioning map. Water is available in two different forms in Cities: Skylines: As a static sea level and as dynamic water sources that can be placed around the map.

Note: At least one water area is required in the starting area of the map. This can be a lake, a river or the open sea. Water Source Water sources are used to create lakes and rivers on the map. A water source functions as a spawning point for water. Its capacity dictates how much water it is able to generate and drain. Its height dictates how high it will raise the water level in a closed area such as a lake bed.

If the height is below water level, it will also function as a drain. Lakes are created by carving a suitable area for the lake bed and placing a water source in the middle of it. Adjusting the height of the water source will settle the water level and not allow it to overflow the shoreline. The water source generates water until it reaches the set height, and then maintains the water level by draining excess water away. Water sources have a height of 50 game units, therefore when setting up a lake, water sources should be placed on terrain 50 units below the desired shoreline.

Rivers require a single water source at the top of the river and either a river mouth at sea level or a lake with another water source to work as a drain so that the river does not overflow. Tip: To have a strong current in a river, you will require a tall, high capacity water source.

River characteristics affect the water flow and fine-tuning is usually required to create a well-functioning water flow. Place Water Source Left click to place and right click to remove. Adjusting sea level (click to enlarge) Sea level is stationary and will always stay on the set level, no matter how many rivers flow into the sea. You can set the sea level to any height between 0 and 500. Move Sea Level Sea level can be adjusted in three different ways. You can use the Sea Level slider to change the height or manually type a number in the field. You can also drag the sea level up and down similarly to how the height of a water source is adjusted.

Ground Resources Ground resources are divided into three types: Ore, oil and fertile land. Ground resources are painted using the various brushes available in the Map Editor. Ground resources (as well as forest resources) are required to gain access to specialized industry when in-game. Resources cannot be painted over each other to create multiple layers of resources, but can be painted to replace each other. A resource must be removed using the same resource type brush. Ore Left click to place ore under the brush and right click to remove ore from under the brush. Oil Left click to place oil under the brush and right click to remove oil from under the brush.

Fertile land Left click to place fertile land under the brush and right click to remove fertile land from under the brush. Forest Resources. Ground resources (click to enlarge) Forest resources include several types of trees and bushes depending on the terrain type. Note: Forest resources are also used in-game as one of the resource types for specialized forestry industry. Tree types Each terrain type has a collection of trees and bushes suitable for that terrain. There are and trees in the Sunny terrain, and trees in the North terrain and in the Tropical terrain. There are also bushes of varying sizes in all of the terrain types.

Outside Connections Each map requires outside connections such as highways, train tracks and ship and airplane paths to be playable in-game. With the Outside Connections tools you can add these into the map. Note: The Checklist keeps track of the outside connections you have at any given moment on the map.

Tools. Toggle Snapping – Allows you to create roads with proper right angles as well as smooth curves with the curved road tool.

Straight Road – allows you to draw roads in straight lines only. Curved Road – allows you to make roads that curve and bend.

To make a curved road, the first left mouse click makes a point which is used for bending the road, and the second click will build the road. Freeform Road – allows you to draw straight and curved roads. Upgrade Road – allows you to upgrade existing roads to a different road type. City service buildings and other overlapping objects can prevent roads from being upgraded. Correct outside connections (click to enlarge) The Map Editor limits the highway connections to four incoming and four outgoing connections. Lanes going to opposite directions need to be built separately.

Note: The starting area requires at least one incoming and outgoing highway connection to be playable. Highway Ramp Highway ramps are used to connect highways together. Train Tracks Train tracks offer another outside connection.

A properly connected train track displays a green arrow next to the edge of the map. The Map Editor limits train track connections to four on the map. Ship Path The ship path determines where cargo and passenger ships enter and exit the map area.

Ship paths are displayed as yellow dotted lines on the map and must be drawn on water. Ship paths can also cross each other. A properly connected ship path displays a green arrow next to the edge of the map. The Map Editor limits ship path connections to four on the map. Note: Ship paths are required to be close enough to the playable area so that the harbors can connect to them on straight lines. Airplane Path The airplane path determines where the airplanes enter and exit the map area. Airplane paths are displayed as purple dotted lines on the map and can be drawn on land and water.

Airplane paths can also cross each other. A properly connected airplane path displays a green arrow next to the edge of the map. The Map Editor limits airplane path connections to four on the map. Environment Environment tools allow further decoration of the maps.

Snapshot Tool (click to enlarge) With the Snapshot Tool, you can take a preview image of the map that can be used when the map is published. The chosen snapshot image is then displayed as the preview image for the map when the player is in the map selection screen. Tip: You can take multiple snapshots of the map, which are then saved on your hard drive.

When publishing the map, you are able to choose from these images the one you find most suitable for preview purposes. Free Camera Mode You can toggle Free Camera Mode on and off with this button. While Free Camera Mode is on, you can move and control the view unrestricted.

The game UI is hidden while the Free Camera mode is on. You can return to normal game mode by pressing the ESC button. Info Views.

The Info Views offer insights into different aspects of the map, such as water flow, natural resources, and wind speed. The map view changes with the active info view, highlighting the selected feature. Info Views are useful for checking water flow directions, elevation differences and the quantity of natural resources. Checklist The Checklist helps you keep track of the required and recommended features of the map. It also displays information and limitations of various tools as you use them. Checklist (click to enlarge) Features in the Requirements section are parts of the map that are mandatory for it to be playable. The requirements are:.

Water stream in the starting area – There needs to be a place where the player can build a water pump and a drain pipe for the city to have running water and plumbing. One highway incoming connection – Citizens, and cargo transport must have a connection into the city for it to grow. One highway outgoing connection – Citizens, and cargo transport must have a connection out of the city for it to grow. Recommended Features in the Recommended section are not mandatory but will give the player more options when they build a city on the map. The recommended features are:.
