City Built by a Psychopath - CITIES SKYLINES 2 IS PERFECTLY BALANCED
No taxes, high earning potential, luxury settlements! Anything is possible in Cities Skylines 2! Today I'm diving back into Cities Skylines 2: a challenging city-building simulation game from Paradox Interactive. In this video we're going to build the city of New Scammington - where people propser but train lines prosper even more!

What is cities Skylines? Well according to steam If you can dream it, you can build it. Raise a city from the ground up and transform it into the thriving metropolis only you can imagine. You've never experienced building on this scale. With deep simulation and a living economy, Cities: Skylines II delivers world-building without limits.
Lay the foundations for your city to begin. Create the roads, infrastructure, and systems that make life possible day to day. It's up to you - all of it.
How your city grows is your call too, but plan strategically. Every decision has an impact. Can you energize local industries while also using trade to boost the economy? What will make residential districts flourish without killing the buzz downtown? How will you meet the needs and desires of citizens while balancing the city's budget?

TITLE: Zero Tax City Built by a Psychopath - CITIES SKYLINES 2 IS PERFECTLY BALANCED
Y'know Spiff, as a British Person living in Norfolk, my greatest fear is that my local council will be inspired by this video and somehow make public transport worse.
I live in Britannia aswell in Durham
At least you are not in North America.
I also live in Britannia, in Britain. The largest City of Britannia.
@@mbogucki1 I'd rather drive than leave any level of government in North America in charge of public transport.
I suspect you're lying because anybody living in Yorkshire would know there's basically no public transport left in Britain 😂🤷🏻♂️
Roundabouts are pretty special though ngl
OMG! Hey RCE👋 Yes! Roundabouts are superior 💪
Not as special as you my darling engineer 💗
I’m so glad that RCE saw this video. Your sewage dump seemed to be arguably the strongest design of the entire city
The island he created had the perfect shape.
An architect would say that.
It's a baffling that happiness isn't affected by commute time in CS:2. In Simcity 4, if commute time is long enough, desirability drops and lots go abandoned.
Yeah, everyone loves these Cities Skylines games, but imo both the gameplay and the simulation itself are not very good. We need a modern SimCity in the same style as SC4 and SC3k
@@UncleUncleRj The question I've asked myself repeatedly, is if there's enough people like you and me to justify making a decent game. And by 'modern' does that mean it needs photo-realistic graphics?
@@tristanridley1601 SimCity does not need photo-realism, better graphics are just the cherry on top- modern just means two things - it has to work on a modern PC (SC4 cannot without work well without hacks) and since modern PCs can handle WAY more than a 90's or early 00's PC, the game can be updated to do so much more, like have an improved simulation engine. SC was just plain fun. However, they kinda ruined the series with SimCity 2013 because they strayed so much from the formula.
Simcity 4 was amazing Too bad it's considered long-lost technology nowadays.
@@tristanridley1601 The only chance it has, I think, is a niche game with mediocre graphics. But that's ok; the people who just "play" cities skylines like it's a really bad version of blender for making pictures wouldn't be interested in the more complex model anyway. So basic stylized graphics would be completely fine.(TBH, I'd probably be fine with just isometric pixel art, but these days basic 3D is probably cheaper.)
It took Travis a full month to get to his place of work. Spiff has once again made a perfectly balanced transport system
And so realistic!
Dude. spoilers
The most unbelievable thing about all of this, is that none of the citizens just go "Right, I can either spend a day and a fortune on public transit, or walk across that field in half an hour"
The field is surrounded by a chain-link fence topped with concertina wire.
But there's no path! How will they ever find their way?
@@LaBambaMan He who walks across the field, *makes* the way.
@@nazamroth8427 I bet the person who would walk over the field would end up in jail the gov always has great ways to secure their monopoly and ensure that there is no other option left
@@faustinpippin9208 that’s what car infrastructure does bud
If this city was real, bosses would still complain that workers prefer home office over commuting to work.
Or they'd just make them live (and work remotely) on the trains, too.
Bosses would be the first ones working remotely in this city don't get it twisted. Probably make you show up at 8am for a meeting he zooms into.
i can really feel you channeling your inner bostonian
This has made me imagine what a nightmare world Spiff has created by the end. Spending months in these tiny moving cabins with a bunch of random people all living and working from their cramped seats, everyone trying to do zoom calls right next to each other, probably having drones deliver shitty takeout for every meal, unable to shower, and I don't even want to think about needing to "use the restroom" 😫. And that's all just going one way!
@@jarrod752bosses are hypocrites so they’d do both.
8:16 you can fly from London to Australia in that time and it took that dude that amount of time to cross the city. Perfectly balanced
If London to Australia flight cost only $96...
@@Saren-yc1rk oh I wish 🤣🤣
This is diabolical! I love it! Now, you just need to lower the speed limit for roads to 20 mph so they all feel welsh.
If only that was something they'd added in CS2, but no, all they did was add some node flags. (You can't even make a 2-way stop in this game; it's all-way-stop or nothing.)
Slow, expensive, unreliable public transport, im proud that Spiff is exporting the UKs "brilliant" transport to the world, brings a tear to my eye
I moved in this city about a year ago and at first I thought I was crazy to pay $200 a day just to go back and fourth but the jobs here are great and taxes are basically nonexistent.
Whenever you feel depressed at the terrible state of government services in the UK, like public transport (what's that?), health care (what do you mean you don't take ride share in emergencies to the hospital?), or housing (hahahahaha), just take a quick holiday across the pond to visit your rebellious colonial relations. We put the fun in dysfunctional because working yourself to death to be proud of a nuclear arsenal is just our way!
Tears of joy i suppose...
The only reason I want to visit England is to see exactly how bad their public transport is. When I was living in Western Australia I experienced such high levels of public transport that I ended up forgetting to renew my licence for two months... At the time I was working with a guy from North London who kept mentioning how our system was almost as bad as theirs. I never really got a solid explanation of why it is so bad, WA was the best public transport experience of my life lol
hmmm.. yes but i think he misses the concerns with 15 min citys.. which is surprising considering hes the type of mind that could have conceived of citys divided in to multiple prison sectors that you cant leave with out permission... maybe spiff need to realise theres a german version of him at the WEF who sees humans as NPCs to be manipulated and has the UI to pull it off
New Scammington is not a scam. Spiff just wanted to turn Cities: Skylines into Railroad Tycoon 7.
This is the best DB Simulator! As a non german in germany, this is THE best way to explain how it feels to take the train here. ESPECIALLY if you're in a hurry!😊
As a german I strongly agree ☺️👍
most reasonable public transportation I've ever seen. and that isn't a lie because I've never seen any public transportation beyond a school bus.
The slight bump on the hill awakens me from my slumber. I blink my eyes in disbelief as tears begin to well up. We've crossed the last cut-back before the final station. Only mere hours to go! I begin to comb my impressive beard and spit-clean my glasses. I pull my fingers through my grease-knotted hair in preparation for my first day of work. Soon. So soon. I hope my wife and children are well. The horrid smell of the cramped tram, devoid of privacy or restrooms, has seeped into my jacket, stained through from my sweat and other bodily fluids. The other patrons of the public transportation system in the city all waver, bobbing slightly to the motion of the tram, corpse-like as we slide along the track. Soon.
I honestly don’t know how to feel about this
This is horrifying
just an old Russian prose with different make-up. lmao
Can the train schedules be adjusted so that the passengers barely miss their next train as much as possible?
In Germany, Switzerland and The Netherlands the integrated timed-transfer or pulse timetable is used to coordinate transfers from one line to another. The concept is that vehicles should arrive simultaneously at certain pulse points acting as transfer hubs. A clockface timetable has vehicles arriving/departing at consistent intervals often at frequency of an integer per hour.
@@FTW23-qq8nbthat's amazing! Would that every country/nation/principality/town should implement such a thing!
@@FTW23-qq8nb and somehow my home town has f'ed their table up in a way that the thing OP describes actually happen And since it's this way now for over a decade, I doubt that's going to change.
with the Tram, Spiff gently dipped onto the madness of Letsgameitout, and its wonderful.
The fact that the train network wasn't called "the scam tram" is an absolute travesty.
The nightmare of game devs uploads once again
More like headache when you have something really bad but haven’t found out he’s the perfect game tester but you now because of that you fix it
Albert Camus: one must imagine Sisyphus happy Spiff, designing that tram: one must imagine Sisyphus having to pay each time he needs to start rolling that boulder

New Scammington could genuinely be Cambridge! Emphasis on Academia ✅ Active hostility towards cars ✅ Overcomplicated public transport links with exponentially increasing prices ✅ Terrible Parks ✅
The story of Travis is truly inspiring. He never gave up, keep it up Travis 💪
Thanks. I needed that today.

It would have been neat to see how Travis was doing at the end of the video! Even if he was probably just stuck on a multi-month-long team ride 🙃

There's no better way to procrastinate than watching Spiff torment hapless digital citizens. Change my mind.
No
No²
Dam I was coming to tell you, no need to change your mind. Because you're right.
Not a scam
How about Spiff tormenting real life players through his menace creations 🤔
Spiff, You're the Evil Genius we all wish we could be! You need to add a white cat being stroked into your video's
10/10 would recommend New Scammington, it's not a scam, A home bought, a Roller Coaster to your job for free !
Are we optimizing for income or human suffering? Spiff: Yes
Fair taxes Plenty of public transportation High level of education A lot of jobs Truly a paradise
All this town needs is a remote economy surge!
Public transportation only works well in video games. It's kinda hilarious. Minus a small handful of racially homogeneous countries. Either way, it's wasteful. Middlemen can't be cost-effective.
@@elimgarak1127 its pretty decent where i live
@@elimgarak1127 What does race have to do with public transport???
@@r0nn7They just want to be angry about public transportation. Honestly I love now living somewhere I can use public transportation and not have to slowly get pissy at someone not knowing how to use their turn signal
With this tram track I can't help to get the feeling, spif has had gotten a lesson from our "Deutsche Bahn". 😅
"Sorry I'm late Boss" "You're late by 12 days. What happened?!" "Well the first subway was late by an hour which caused me to miss each consecutive subway after that and had to wait for their next run to complete."
Adam Something: builds a functioning public transit system for an American city. Spiff: builds a public transit system the way an American city planner actually would.
Lol. I Just Watched that video
Adam Something: I'm going to add tons of public transport, so that people won't use cars to drive around the city. Also I broke the game due to the sheer amount of public transport I have in my city.

Actually if the tram takes that long, I don't need to buy a house. No mortgage, no property tax. Scammopolis actually have 10mil hidden pop who just go to work, get onto the air conditioned tram and then sleep on it until the morning. They probably just shower at the fitness at lunch.
A wise man once said "i follow the laws of the Geneva convention,and to say i follow them is a stretch of the imagination"
I appreciate that everything on this channel is really a warning of the dangers of government and ultimate power.
The government, corporations, capitalism, technology, Europeans as a species....
Capitalism as a term was actually invented by early socialists so just using that term concedes a major point to socialists. The term implies that the system is somehow focused on capital and therefore unequal wealth distribution and exploitation when in reality what they called capitalism is really just economic individualism meaning nothing more than respecting private property. In short, 19th century socialists gave a biased name to their previously unnamed enemy.@@quincykunz3481

Let‘s Game It Out has become less interesting somehow
It's just plain stealing the whole concept... Even the thing with the D... WTF spiff
@@MarcGeekLGIO is not the first person to intentionally play games wrong while still succeeding. He also does not own the concept. There is no "stealing" that idea.
Spiff has been at that level for a while now xD
i agree@@maltee69
16:50 Spiff has never visited the absolute paradise known as Belgium. Belgium! Where trains run on joy, but society’s low on fuel.
Normal cities "We are expanding the tram network." People: YAAAAY Spiff's city "We are expanding the tram network" People: OH GOD.
New Scammington is not a scam. I live there and it's great. I've been riding the train for 3 weeks straight, and I still haven't got to my location! So much to see.
They should make it so when routes are simply far too expensive, people will just trek the open plains and produce trails. it would be incredible to see a mass of people covering the fields
not gonna lie, that would be awesome
What is this, Tropico? Oh well it can't be, since there's no beaches, no starting cities on islands, nor tropical climates and themed maps.
This isn't Foundation
Little did the evil mayor knew, that the people adapted to the subway. There were parties, buying and selling, dancing, playing games, and a chess club, of course, all running inside the carts. And that is why the people were happy.
Oh you're the guy that can run an actual city of 40k without a slideshow ! Man all the parked cars EVRYWHERE is triggering me so hard, why does every street need to have parking spots in this game? Immersion is so hard for colossal order to get right.
20:48 "Just 17 hours and 50 minutes later, you arrive at your destination." Spiff has successfully recreated American mass transit. Well played :D
It would take over 8 hours to travel from my small town in northern Poland to travel one way to the city of Slough.
@@HanSolo__ How far is that? 1500km or so? In the US, it takes 26 hours to go from New Orleans to Austin, a distance of around half that (822 km or so). :)
Except not taking into account delays, canceled buses (because there aren't enough operators) and having to wait for the next bus because the one that would get you to work relatively on time is so full nobody else will fit
@@HanSolo__ I'd say Poland might be a bit worse than Germany (and Germany much, much worse than all other surrounding countries) but it's still so much better than in the US.
It's cute when euros compare their tiny little cities with a massive country with almost 400 million people
You're not the most evil british man alive Spiff. You don't import coffee.
That would be me
American here, this made me giggle. 😅
Import coffee, but package it in Yorkshire Tea Gold boxes. But only every other tea bag has coffee grounds, since it's Britain the other half contain spicy peppers, with one guaranteed Carolina Reaper pack in every box!
Has Spiff ever addressed the fact that JackSepticEye sells coffee? It must have come up at some point but I must have missed it!
you would have to ask the irish or indians how to topple that. most evil british man is just as hard if not harder to beat than most evil austrian man.
Oh wow can't believe he perfectly recreated Wrocław's entire tram system in such a short amount of time.
I was just thinking to myself, "if our city council sees that, we're even more fucked"
This reminds me of a time when I was a kid, and I used to play a game called Stronghold Crusaders, and in it I would decrease the tax to 0%, and it was even possible to pay them to live there, then I'd add a bunch of "nice things" as the game called it, which simply boosted morale of all the citizens, and soldier units. They would then proceed to be "happy" and not require other things such as "food", which I could tell you became outrageously annoying to upkeep. So then you could just forever last in a siege from inside the castle, without worrying about food shortages, and simple sell things. There was also a glitch in the game where you could build walls around production areas, so the units would be stuck inside working, and place the ox tethers (the transfer of good produced to warehouses) inside your castle, meaning nobody got hurt, so long as you kept the production building closed by walls.
Once again, in an attempt to create a dystopia, Spiff has accidentally created the perfect society. If it takes most of a single day just to get to work, and you have to go back home after every day of work, the highest number of days you can actually hypothetically work is 3, 2 if you still get weekends. No wonder everyone is happy, you've given everyone 4-5 days off a week! And they still have to be paid well enough to keep coming to work. Perfectly balanced!
I'm scared the next generation of city planners will be inspired by this
As somebody who worked on an air train, I could say that that's system is going to be absolutely hated. Especially if there's only a single track because when you have to go do track maintenance, you can't run trains on it and considering how long that track is track maintenance could take years or a literal army handling it
Spiff: "11pm at night" tweet in the bottom right: "im afraid to go out at night" 20:43
As the city just dissolves into Metro 2033, as the entire population, effectively, lives in the subway cars
New Scammington is not a scam! I can safely say that on my twelfth hour of travel on our wonderful train service. Edit: Very efficient construction in this city. The train ride got twice as long while I was riding it. But it's fine, I'll be at work tomorrow. Edit 2: I want to get off New Scammington's Wild Ride.
Think of it as a staycation. :V
New Scamminton is not a scam!! nice video btw Spiff.
Oh man, you've given Rishi Sunak his greatest plan for HS2 now. Thanks Spiffing Brit, sons crying now.
I am in awe of your ability to create a travelling hellscape beyond all comprehension. I couldn't even begin to imagine creating this level of chaos. Well done, sir. Well done.
Every video he gets a little closer to becoming Josh with Let's Game It Out. A Spiff and Josh collab might break the universe.
Spiff and a LGIO collab is something this world needs
I was about to comment the same thing. The torture Spiff was inflicting felt very Josh-like.
Yeah, usually Spiff just likes to focus on making obscene amounts of money while Josh is more into torturing his sims. While the idea of forcing people onto paid-for public transport is the basis of Spiff's wealth generation here, the point this time seemed more on torturing citizen rather than money.
I think it's the natural progression for all evil genius gamers to one day become Josh. I know I've been there. Sorry Sims, but if the game lets me sell the pool ladder, I'm going to sell the pool ladder.
Ooh add callmekevin in there for maximum chaos
There is one major problem. The longer people spend on a single tram line, the less and less and less time they spend going from the next to the next to the next. That means you lose traffic. That means you lose money. Back to back to back to back stations are definitely the best method. More traffic means MORE MONEY.
16:55 Deutsche Bahn (German Railways): Allow me to introduce myself
Start of the video: People will walk if it is faster to walk, so I've made the road longer. End of the video: I've added 3 days of travel time to the tram. ...shouldn't all of the citizens be expert hikers now? That highway that only circles the residential area once seems like a direct route all of a sudden.
i think there is a maximum distance for how long a citizen will walk
The issue is, the route is still shorter than the highway as the game only takes into account each leg individually. So its shorter to go to the first rail station than it is to walk to the other side.
@@NightLexic correct! All of the legs are calculated independently allowing for our exploit
@@thespiffingbrit You know, you could have had the tram line go along the streets in the residential and commerce areas, but just not have any stops, so the people on the tram have to literally go along the streets they want to go to, but can't get off lol
No wonder his townspeople are so happy, he just transformed their home into a summer home
:D :D In my city, I made parking at the side of the road impossible by green strips and planted very expensive parking spaces everywhere. They are always full and my citizens are always happy when I plant more.
I have watched many of your balance and fair gameplay videos, but Spiff, good Sir, this, this right here is your monsterpiece, the bar is now in the stratosphere, how will you now beat this. I await your next genius/diabolical fair and balanced gameplay monstrosity.
New Scamington is not a scam, I love only having to work 2 days a week
I don't know why, but I have this image in my head of Spiff having died, finding himself standing before the Pearly Gates, seeing a sign saying "yes, we do judge you for sins committed in video games", and just being like "shit"
let´s game it out watching from afar 😶😶
Along with the hordes of Rimworld players...
2:12 ''There are just currently a few issues with my design''.... Just a few? Are you sure? lol
Spending 15 hours in a tiny hot box sounds unrealistic. Surely 30 seconds is the norm. Isn't it?
"Isn't it great when you get on a train and it actually goes to its destination, instead of a replacement bus service?" As a Torontonian, I hope to experience that at least once before I die.
New Scammington is not a scam. I love going to work on public transport, I especially love the view on the 12th hour! Just wish there where food on the tram, my kids starved to dead on the fourth day, but it's all good as me and my wife ate them and made it to the shopping district and boy did they have some good offers!
As a resident of New Scammington I love our efficient transport system.
20:55 that means the tram is going walking speed... In reality that distance would take around 6 hours if there were stops on the way as in real city public transportation. Or under 3 hours without a tram stop at each turn. I love game time 'logic'
Totally not a scam living in New Scammington. 11/10 city. Would live here.
Totally not a scam, think about it. You can probably pack a sleeping bag and sleep in that tram. Play games too. How kind of our city designer to let us use electrical sockets on the tram. Think about it this way... $50 for a three night stay is a fantastic deal.
If I had to live in New Scammington: I'd open a Restaurant/Grocery shop and live out of it or, due the high level of education, have a job in which I could easily work from home. I'd have a gym membership so I could wash-up there. As long as I can avoid being taxed, you better believe I'd be there.
New Scammington is not a scam. "Scam" implies that the primary motivation was greed. The primary motivation of this was sadism.
New scammington aint no scam! I mean, if i only had to work 4 hours a day because my transportation took up a majority of my day, and no taxes, and all i have to pay for is some tickets? Sign me up!
As a proud citizen of Scammington, that isnt held at gunpoint inside a subway station, I must say that this is the greatest city I will ever be in.
If we truly live in a simulation, I just hope I don't end up in the one created by spiff 😅
So long as you don’t mention the Boston Tea Party you’ll be ok…..probably
I think you just explained a lot actually.
I love how you get the same evil ideas that I do while playing games, but with a better accent. Many thanks!
New Scammington is NOT a scam. It's a well designed town that will encourage strength of character and comaraderie in the population due to the queuing and hurry up & waiting invoked by public transport. Business prospers as longer work sessions are encouraged by needing two days to get home and two days to get there, thus making it more profitable to work ten days with five days off. Don't forget to do your shopping before you get home after your ten day shift. I've lived in worse places and still had to pay taxes.
These are the people who also went to your last themepark.
Five stops over 106 km... this tram line sounds like the intercity bus route where I live (Fraser Valley, British Columbia, Canada)... except that it's all folded into a single city. Glorious! Edit: And then it became five times as glorious. This is amazing, and I can't wait to see more from Spiff and create my own urban hellscape.
Abbotsford to Aldergrove, Aldergrove to Langley, Langley to Surrey Central, then you can finally hop a Skytrain 😂
New Scsmmingtin is definitely not a scam. How could public transport ever hold people hostage? So much public transport is truly liberating.
Could have made just one track with the ends splitting into a bunch of different stations. So Travis would be going back and forth the same track from station station. And the single track will be a nice traffic jam.
“Perfectly balanced… …as all things should be…”
Sees first tram switch-back section: "Okay, that's not quite what I expected to see when Lord Spiff mentioned adding a longer tram line." Sees Final tram switch-back: "Now *THIS* is what I was expecting! A tram line that looks like the demon spawn sprogling of Yorkshire Tea Gold and the Nazca Lines. At least the city's residents can get a wonderful close-up of the glory of Phallicus Island."
Please, give us more of this glorious game 🥳
This is a fantastic kind of city, mostly due to the fact that it makes riding a horse for transportation not only completely valid, but also by far the best possible option. While all those other chumps were busy with their subway nonsense, I'd just take a horse across the open ground and be at work in about 10 minutes :P
When I see this, I think a collaboration between Let´s Game it out´s Josh and Spiff would be absolute nightmare material planing the most unefficient city xD
I'm not sure how it would work, but I'd love to see a city-planning collab between LGIO, Spiff, RealCivilEngineer, and maybe RTGame and/or CallMeKevin. Maybe they each spend like 45mins-an hour starting a city and then hand it off to the next person until everyone has had played with each city and seeing the results. Bonus points if they delete as little as possible so they can all recognize the parts they "contributed" (good or bad). I remember Spiff doing something kind of like that as a promotion for (I think?) Two-Point Campus? It was a lot of fun seeing everyone's take on stuff.
I would love to see a LGIO and Spiff collab. Then again, I would love to have 30 million cats. We can't all get what we want. (Unless we kill each other)
Unefficient? Spiff's city actually makes a fair amount of money
Hands down the funniest, meanest yet most ingeniously profitable CS2 city I’ve seen yet. Gives Let’s Game It Out a run for its money.
Spiff: Makes streets two blocks wide so he can get maximum amount of jobs My girlfriend: Wow that looks horrible, looks like Fresno, California
This is the kind of video that makes me want to put in a roundabout with only 1 way onroads so people can never leave it. Doomed for all eternity, just driving around in circles..
Every time Spiff starts cutting down trees for Timber, I get flashback to the Prison Architect video where I first discovered him.
-Hi boss can work from home? -No.....you HAVE to come in. -Please sir.....I haven't seen my wife and child in 6 months.....and I'm still on the tram. -I can't help you, it's due to the city's laws. - Who's the mayor *shakenly points to Spiff* -Greetings cash co- I mean citizen how goes the commute? *Proceeds to mentally break down* Thanks for the nightmares man.❤
"when dad left he said he was going to buy some smokes.. was 5 month ago" "Don't worry bro, he may still come back in 3 then, he's on time !"
You know... in germany we mastered the train system so everyone is late because our Trians are late. And we didn't even need to build as many stations you did. We call it: Deutsche Bahn.
Travis sat and shows how grateful he is on the city’s very efficient and amazing transportation, the greatest city indeed.
At first i was horrified and afraid that Spiff had snapped totally... then shrugged as i remembered he did that years ago
This city is basically an unfinished game with dlc. There's no tax, but to do anything you need to pay.
Damn, whilst this was a fantastic satirical video, it has definitely highlighted a couple issues in the game; 1. Citizens don’t seem to care the amount is time spent in public transport to go to work/school/ etc. This is a huge oversight 2. Despite traffic issues, people will still move in to your city, so long as you have all the basic things like homes, shops and industry. 3. Citizens will not complain about time spent or money spent on public transport. Public transport is my favourite part of any city builder, so this was a huge upsetting realisation
