City Skylines 81 Tiles 2

[Slikk Huisenga]

Mapsare the areas where you build your city. Each map is divided into tiles that you can unlock as the game progresses. The full map consist of 81 tiles (9x9), but tile borders are only shown for the 25 middle tiles (5x5). Out of these, 9 tiles are unlockable in the base game; there are some mods that can increase the amount of playable tiles to 25 or 81. A map has different Natural resources placed on it.

Cities: Skylines offers an in-game map editor and fully integrated sharing through steam workshop. You may also take a heightmap and use it in the map editor. The modification community often uses real world heightmaps which can be found online [1].

To create a map the player clicks the tools button in the main menu then you click the map editor. The player can then choose a landscape type and click create to open the map editor. The player can then begin terraforming, place water sources, highways and train track, lay ship- and plane routes and adjust the ocean.

According to the description it has some known issues but still......81 tiles is a reality now thanks to emf. Can your system handle it? I'll try it out whenever I reach that 25 tile limit. I'm still on 4 tiles so far.

I'd like to try it once I get a new computer, though! I bet you could make some rather impressive cities using this and a few other mods. Or maybe even a network of smaller, self-sustained towns. It'll be nice to see what people will come up with in a year, or two, or ten...

Unfortunately you're still limited to the default 4 rail and highway connectors. However, if your map has NOT utilized all 4 highway connections yet, you can create infinite road/avenue connections to the outside. Take a look here. Picture is a bit cloudy.

Thanks for testing. Could you check if any newly added highway and rail connections are functional though? On the map I created for Forkton I only made one 6 lane highway through the area, and have 3 rail connections to the outside.

I can confirm that new highways (including the ramps!) and rail connections are functioning and can spawn traffic. Road and avenue connectors are purely cosmetic at this point but I have my faith in the modding community for that.

I'm still trying to fill my 25 tile mod area. Besides, once you get to 81 tiles, you're going to have to set it up as a bunch of interconnected towns, because cims won't be able to efficiently commute to work across that big a zoned area, so working would likely be local, or maybe regional among a town cluster. Would look cool, though.

Actually the CITIES SKYLINES developers knew exactly what they were doing and didn't limit future expansion when they developed the game. Unlike Maxis, if they had built hard limits into the game we would not be able to mod it like we are able to now. I have a desktop pc and as soon as I bought the game I unlocked 25 tiles. I did this because this allows a realistic city of small to medium size. My computer doesn't know the difference between 9 or 25 tiles. I'm very anxious to have 81 which is more realistic but I'll wait for the bugs to be worked out. Computer hardware has far surpassed software so we can now really enjoy our game.

Given the pace at which the community is embracing & modifying the game, are there plans to increase the population limit? Because as it stands, 1million Cims doesn't even correlate to any meaningful number programming-wise. Clearly players don't care if their PC melts down or overloads, & I think that's part of the beauty when SC4 came out; seriously pushing the boundaries of what most players PC could handle. But as time & technology progress, this will (should) be less of an issue.

I think more important than the 1 million pop limit is the object count. Should be unlimited polys, props, trees, roads, buildings, and everything; as much as you can fit on the map. At your own risk of course.

Very sorry to hear that xonedl. This is why it's so important to back up our games before exploring the unknown. This mod still seems to be unstable. Some say they have no problems, some do. When you say "won't install new mods" what do you mean? All your mods are broken in game?

I think modders need to do more extensive testing and stop rushing out unfinished mods. It's nice to show us whats being worked on, but if it's not ready or could have some potential big problems for users, it should not be released to public unless it's a beta test.

But we still need your support to stay online. If you're able to, please consider a donation to help us stay up and running. This helps sustain a platform where we can share our community creations for years to come.

By way of a "Thank You" gift, we'd like to send you our STEX Collector's DVD. It's some of the best buildings, lots, maps and mods collected for you over the years. Check out the STEX Collections for more info.

One of the biggest shortcomings in 2015's city builder Cities: Skylines was the number of map tiles players were allowed to build on. The buildable space on a map was a grid of 5x5 tiles (25 in total), and of those available tiles players could only unlock a total of nine to build their cities on.

Cities: Skylines 2 was announced today, and it looks like modders can stand down: The maps in Cities: Skylines 2 will allow you to unlock a whopping 150 map tiles, quite a leap over the original game. Granted, we don't know the size of those tiles, so they may be smaller than in the original. But it still sounds like a hell of a lot more room to build without having to install a mod.

This information comes from the Xbox achievement list for Cities: Skylines 2, which was also released today (perhaps accidentally). Several sites like Xboxachivements and Trueachievements are displaying the full list of 40 achievements, which combine to award 1,000 points toward your gamerscore.

One of those achievements, "Everything the Light Touches," awards 50 points for unlocking 150 map tiles in a single city. Based on the name of the achievement it sounds to me like that's the entire map, and the amount of points awarded makes it seem like it's a late-game sort of cheevo. Rest assured, if there are more map tiles in an area you can't build on, modders will find a way to unlock those too.

Among the rest of the achievements there are plenty of routine-sounding accomplishments, like for building an airport, creating a district, having various numbers of citizens and happiness ratings, unlocking every building in the game, and things like that. But there are a few more interesting ones:

Boy, rats and hailstorms? Are we sure this isn't a survival city builder? I guess the rat problem could be an event if you have sanitation issues, trash buildup, or sewage problems in your city, and hail sounds interesting because unlike rain or snow it could do damage to buildings or vehicles. There are also more classic disasters like tornadoes and forest fires shown in the achievements.

Cities Skylines is a wonderful extension to the original Sim City game theme and I've been enjoying it a lot lately.One of the self-inflicted challenges I've undertaken is to try to create a city with the highest possible population ina single tile.

When I set out to do this, I made an effort not to try to reverse-engineer the game. I don't want to learn all thefiner points of how C:S works, and I won't relay that here. I'll try to stick to the broad strokes because this gameis highly complex so a scientific approach would take a long time. I'm using the "All Easy" template onSteam.
