 Hello everyone and welcome back to the second episode of Marathon Valley the series where we are building up the county slash city of Marathon Valley in city Skylines, so where we left off today We just got this simple cities set up where the nice interchange at the entrance and a very very small little residential area here We got some businesses here for people to work at our normal city services as well as the elementary school in high school We have our water and stuffing pumped in over here as Well as our garbage disposal over there and a nice little wind farm Of course the city is extremely small compared to what my end goals for it will be So as you know, we have a lot of room to expand over here currently We also have the ability to buy up a lot of extra land which we might end up having to do in this video as well So I'm going to get started with this here, and I think it's about time. We probably should expand out Our little area here Let's start going into this area as you see we have a nice road that's going this way as much as I want to expand out This way a little bit further I feel like it's better to go off into one direction just a little bit more So again because that one's a little bit more extended I'm going to directly start this video episode off with a very quick expansion into this little zone here I'm going to try to line that up decently well so that this is not taking up any more space than it needs to be and They cut that a little bit short there, so I'm gonna do that and then I'm gonna cut down this road And again, these are the first episodes of the series So a lot of stuff isn't edited together very much because I want to kind of show the raw experience of what I'm doing Of course, I'm gonna have to skip ahead in certain areas But I'm trying to give you guys the organic feel of what I'm doing here So now we have this little area of course you have to extend water and stuff into it Which isn't too hard at all. I like to connect that up there and Of course now we can start up our city and just pop some more homes in there I probably should also Extend the district into that little area too so the styles stay within it We should also have electricity and stuff expanding. Okay, good So we should be good on that front now. We have this interchange right here. This has a stoplight interchange I don't think I'm going to directly connect these homes, however Over to this road Mostly because I feel like that would cause some traffic problems Then again, maybe it would be helpful to do it just once here and that for that I would probably just do a really simple Road just coming into there and doesn't need to be anything fancy Just something leading in to lead it out back to that road Which might be a bit quicker for certain residents getting in there and again I'm not a city planner in any way So I have little to no idea as to what I'm doing and I also notice here We have a power line coming through We can either work with that or build around it again If we're going to build something into this area that area the houses will continue and grab the power from here and Transfer it over to the side. We won't need to have these power lines in there But that's something we have to figure out. Of course Is it this is a good time to actually look at what kind of industry we can build if we go over to the Or in natural resources section? And we actually look we can see this isn't very good land But if we look over here, we have a lot of that would be oil over here. We got some pretty good farmland here We got some decent Forestry doesn't seem like we have too much or on this map But that should be okay. I think our best bet would be to expand somehow Over to here to get oil Which of course you can do We could also make use of these trees Especially in this little area because it may not be too much But forestry does tend to be a little bit nice when it comes to where it's placed whether it does exist there or not So we probably could build some forestry into this area But that's against something to put into our back pocket and look into in a little bit Again, I want to continue expanding. We're decently gonna empower. We're decently good there We are doing a bit low on garbage processing But that should be okay as we are only doing this of course I could build up one of these looking at so it's cost a bit to build and Make but I think I'm going to install one of those of course they create pollution But that will burn that and keep our landfill that's too low as well as generate of course some electricity for us there Nicely as well so brings up to 54 megawatt. We're doing pretty good on power We can see all of our new residents joining into the city, which is kind of neat Here they all come nice and in and filing in So it's good for them to all find their nice home and we have some nice little Midwestern homes in here kind of looks neat All right, so now let's go into this area. So should we Extend out and do some forestry over here. I think we should so I'm gonna grab forget which road we picked for this one here I think that was the two-lane road with yep this one right here So I'm gonna extend this one out just a little bit further because I can And we're gonna go in to this So I'm also thinking because they don't want to have to have these trucks for the forestry drive all the way from over here Down to this route. So I'm thinking we probably should put another interchange here But maybe that isn't necessary. I don't know for sure But of course we can just go into here and grab one of these interchanges This one always seems to work pretty well A three-way intersection, you know, maybe we should build that in there so I am gonna pause the game and Just go into demolish mode and we're gonna demolish out a portion of the highway right here just to build in that interchange right here There we go So now we are built in into here And we might need to demolish a little bit more on the sides because of course that isn't officially on the ground So these highways are going to have to Feed down into there into there like that And we're gonna bring that one up and connect it again. We're gonna do the similar thing over here and Go down into that. So now we have a decent interchange here. We can just bring these just directly down into here Really quite nicely and if I go there And Just try to be Simple and brief about that. So now we have this I'm gonna see if it's gonna put any stop lights. It doesn't okay It looks like it might Okay, so this one here has it and that explains it because it's going in this one You're just coming back up and in so that should be okay there and that doesn't even look half bad either So now we can start building in some of these Trucking systems. So I think what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna try to be a little bit smart about this And do one of these I'm just gonna build that up and in and If I wanted to I could do something like this. I'm just gonna map it out. So the trucks are gonna come down here I'll do it till then this end I'm gonna come like that like that and Then of course they could go right down or they could go to summer like here and lead right into the highway and Join in on the exchange there and just get right out But the problem is it's gonna create stuff like I don't think that's necessary There at all so I'm just gonna add that out and now I have those three lanes there and to be honest This doesn't look bad either So at this point, it's just kind of building in those center roads again. This is forestry So we're trying to Get as much land available inside as possible And just kind of going right across Just like that Again, and we aren't going fully in depth at this stage. I'm learning throughout this series Just trying to build up a decent city That is usable and we'll bring us some profit Because that's kind of what we want we want to have a nice city for our residents We're also not trying to destroy it in the process. I don't think this looks half bad To be honest it looks better than some of the cities that are around me But again, we're trying to incorporate all these different industries all these different use abilities We're in the real world. This would be provided especially in Wisconsin by multiple different cities in your area So now that we have that set up, I'm gonna replay the game get that started up again We're gonna district this one out into Forestry so I'll get that District and make that forestry just like that and I don't know if this is gonna carry power over to us just for the time being I'm going to grab a power line right from here and Bring that right and do there And we'll do that Now we're good. Now we can start building in some of these nice industry centers Which will probably bring some decent industry to our city and give some of them are amazing citizens a job But now that we're building that in of course we have 1400 people I feel like that's a lot of places for these 1400 people to work So I feel like we need to start up another residential district Of course, we could expand over here, but then you got highway noise and a little bit of the gusts of this But it's also good to keep in mind that this would be high density residential So in that case we would go here We're gonna grab these nice large sidewalks Roads like that and now we can just expand off into the sides With some really nice. I Would probably go instead of the grassy because this isn't low density I would probably do something similar to this because you're in a high density residential building You're probably gonna want more sidewalk than nice grass So I'll just install something like that here Which will Situate us out pretty nicely here Right there and connect that up. So now we have this and I'm just gonna go in and connect all these together Again, this is a pretty small High-density residential area. I am overlapping a little bit there, but that should be fine And I am going to go in and make this also a district here Just like that and I don't think I'm gonna need to do anything there But what I am going to do is go into the styles Of course and now we get to choose I think here of course that over there was the Midwest suburbs What do you want to do? Do you want to do a sleek future high residential or is that gonna kind of look a little bit different? I'm gonna kind of go for these Canadian. I'm gonna see how that looks. I don't know for sure Of course, I'm gonna need to bring in some water over into this area here which should work pretty well and We will do that and now we will actually build up those homes Let me check that. So now it's a good time to check on our schools It looks like we need another elementary school. So of course we can build another one of those I'd probably build it right into here Something like that high school house high school doing high school is pretty good We don't have anyone else available for university. So okay in that front Health care is pretty good. Death care looks decent On that front and child care. Do we have a child care center? I think we built one or did we not? Maybe we didn't I thought we built a child care center. Maybe we didn't okay Well, that's that's a little bit sad But that should be okay, and I think we might have built man, okay, we did not build what I thought we did Okay, so I think that's also a good time to build in a Another child care center if we wanted to I think that'd be a little bit more important in the city area But we'll add that into the future so that we don't lose any money and look at that We are now actually gaining a profit we're gaining about six hundred dollars a week at this point I'm looking at these buildings. I don't know. I doesn't look any different than the normal city skylines District high density district that even save it did doesn't look like it though Maybe they'll come in very soon or maybe that is a low density type building only actually let's do a quick experiment here So at these in the district, okay, so this is right here in the district We're just gonna go with the air and we're just gonna do a low-density little area Just to test that out because maybe it does only apply to the low-density buildings Therefore we might need to do a different type of building in that area, which of course we can do and That looks okay. I'm gonna speed it up just a little bit to just see how this progress is out And see it does Okay, so these hmm, I Can't really tell I mean those don't buildings don't look bad, but again, they're a little bit different Compared to these yeah, they are definitely different. So maybe I mean these don't look bad either So I am gonna just tear these ones out here And just get rid of them because that was an experiment. So goodbye people So now we probably should see some more immigration coming in. All right So at this point we are actually making some good profit if we go into our financials A lot of our money is coming in from the residential We're getting about 1400 bucks. So we coming in from the industry And it's also good to see here that our little interchange here is working extremely well For those industry trucks coming nice and in They are able to pull out so we don't have too bad of a traffic problem except for people coming in That might just because we have a lot of residents that are pulling in here Unlike the rest of these which are mostly just the trucks that are coming to pick stuff up and bring it up So that should be okay there as well And looking at that that's a pretty decent Madison Square doesn't sound bad, but again It's a forestry area. So if you have any ideas leave them down in the comments below We could probably do something renaming that there as well and we are are we let's do a quick checkup on our electricity Okay, we are getting close to probably should expand our solar farm or not solar farm But wind farm by a little bit Here let's go there there and there and water I don't think these things need water So I think we're okay there but that brought our electricity back up a little bit and we are okay on water so far still too Which is always good to hear and how many panel how many winterman's three six nine twelve So we got 12 wind turbines here that are making some really nice Electricity for us. So that's pretty neat This they're working nicely Yeah, this nice river. It'll be cool to make use advantage of this river someday in the future as well Okay, so now we're seeing all these people that join in again these buildings can house a lot more people Compared to these ones over here. So we're gonna see a lot more traffic But that's also why the bigger sidewalks so people can walk down here to work Now this would also be a good time to bring up some inspiration for an idea here So I'm gonna quickly pause this while we go into Google Earth I'm gonna bring you to a town that's pretty close to home Which is was So we're gonna go into was a Wisconsin Was a Wisconsin is a city pretty close to home for me We go there quite often and it's down here in the central Wisconsin region I think they did a decent job designing wasa as you can see there's this main highway I think I believe that's 50. Okay, so that's 51 that goes through here. I'm used to 29 But if we look here, you'll see the highway pulls off and it just goes off into these little districts They have these nice We that's probably okay So I'm trying to figure out where I am compared to where this brought me into to this four-lane road coming through that Builds off into some really nice low density Areas around here. This is a lot of low density housing You'll see the roads aren't a grid entirely, but they are close to a grid if we go here and we just look at the roads now We don't want three buildings. We just want No, it was no or roads. I'm just looking for roads So See if we can even do that Okay, well, that's fine if we can't it's decent to see so you can see there's nice roads coming in here These are I believe like all two-lane roads just coming in bringing in all the houses and you can see they got them compacted pretty well Here we have Grand Elementary School, which is one of the was the school district elementary schools That's just into here as well with their little plot of land that they had there And then you kind of taper off into some low density commercial districts over here If you'll be able to work some really big parking lots and things like that Now if you go over a little bit to the to the west If we go down into here, you're gonna get into areas like Schofield Which is what most of this is this is more business park-like. So you'll see here. We have a lot more spread out industrial Type buildings here. They have the West and business park around here. You got some more schools She got mountain bay elementary school DC ever smittles school Which are also schools around here and you can also see they have little bits of low density residential split out around here Also not in a perfect grid now if we go back and we look at ours You'll notice here ours is definitely a lot different as we have gone for only a grid And I want to change that I wouldn't mind the idea of going back and doing something like this where it follows That highway again, I'm trying to switch between stuff We have this highway coming through here And if we can just follow this highway pull off of it as we need going to different areas of land We would have a decent setup there as well Going back and then the map again We can go over here a little bit more. You'll see we have some more different areas here We have a trailer park back in here, but again a lot more just low density residential Central, Wisconsin doesn't have a lot of the high density residential if you go down to Madison You'll see a lot more of that or even closer cities downtown wasa has some But again, we're more low density residential You can see they did a cool pattern here with like the circle homes Which again is a decent design too and again this highway in here. I don't even know if this is a highway I think that yeah, this is more just a county road coming through the highway is more down here You got highway. I think yeah, this is 29. I believe Coming in you see they got these nice turnoffs and stuff and you just find where you go and That's the there's there's a huge hospital complex here as you come down and then you pull it off here You got a lot more residential Then over here. They have this little area of mall too But again, we can't do all these features within city skylines This is definitely a more real-world concept that we can use for inspiration And looking at all this it works out pretty well and knowing this because it's close to home I know how the traffic works. It isn't a problem. This intersection here gets a little bit compacted But it does decently fine as well as you can see that another elementary school up here And then this goes more into an industrial park You can see a lot of warehousing and stuff next to the low density residential, but most of this is indoor Manufacturing type stuff that isn't a district that I have in the current version of city skylines that I'm paying for But a lot of this is just warehousing and stuff. You can see there another school right here Before just really just a lot of residential in this area And if you zoom out you can see it goes up into that area all the way up into here You got this big Wisconsin River going through it as well You're up in Rim Mountain, which is a lot where our stuff is you have a ski hill up here This is all a big mountain right here. Well, not a mountain We call it Rim Mountain, but it's more of a hill like Rib Hill But as you can see they got the big highway coming in through here I will say if you live in the area you probably already heard it But this whole area here is you coming in around Rim Mountain is getting completely redeveloped But you can see here they have this nice I would yeah, that's about four lanes or so going right through here pulling off where it needs to go in different stop lights So you stop light stop light Going into different business areas. You got your big Walmart Best Buy stuff over here With parking lots in front of it as well going off into here You got some more warehousing type stuff before you go right back in to the residential So that's a decent layout of what we probably could do As we get further and further in to this project But looking at that, I think that's where I'm gonna end off this video for today. We got a lot more done And I'm gonna excited to see what we're getting more done here Again, I'm not gonna do any work on this at least not much without recording a video for it as well So I will see you all next week. Have a good rest of your day and see y'all next time. Bye. Bye You
