Cities Skylines gameplay 01-09

As my city grows, more and more kinds of buildings can be constructed. Disasters can occur at any time in this game, ranging from tornadoes to earthquakes to many other natural events. Even a meteor can come crashing down into your town. So getting the disaster response unit is a good idea. It is a big building but a good idea to have, otherwise your fire departments and police will be overwhelmed during a crisis.

Looking at the fire safety levels I need to add more fire stations around.

Education is also lacking, some things were over looked during the growth. So now I need to go back and find what I need to add. Having more educated town folk will provide more in tax revenue.

Balancing the utilities can be a challenge, early on its hard to have enough power plants. They also pollute alot so you need to find a good place for them. Usually in the industrial zones.

Once you get far enough in the game, there is lots of tinkering to do with the budget. I usually turn the roads down to minimum, and along with the power and water. Raising it only when outages start occurring.

Expanding is made easy, as you can buy new regions to grow your town even bigger.

Those power plants are really putting alot of smog into the city.

Even the waste water can pollute your near by rivers and streams.

A visual can be seen showing how far the water pollution goes. Once you have enough cash you can buy treatment plants that minimize the pollution.

At night time town comes alive and it really looks quite different compared to the day time.

I made use of the farm industry to harvest resources, seems they do not make alot of pollution so I can have them near the residential areas.

High density residential is the way to go once your town gets big enough.

I finally buy another region next to mine and run a bridge across. Soon I can expand across the water into all new areas of the map. Soon my population will be over 10,000 which is the most I have ever grown a town. I plan on playing more so I can get that population number much higher in the future.
