Such action may reflect badly on a player’s nature as a leader.

Given the nature of a lot of management games, newcomers to a larger strategy game like Cities: Skylines might think that they always have to “do something” or else their city will be ruined. The principle can be extended into cargo as well, wherein an expensive cargo hub saves more space compared to putting a cargo station and a cargo harbor next to each other. This extra spending will still give players more room for rail lines and potential room for a subway. While this costs a lot more than regular train stations, they cost the same in terms of maintenance. For instance, instead of having multiple train stations, a multi-platform train situation may become a worthwhile investment in Cities: Skylines. This principle applies to other aspects of the city as well. In the context of saving energy and space, an upgraded Service building may be more beneficial in the long run. For instance, while it seems cool to see a ton of Hospitals across nearby areas in a city, it may be more cost-effective to instead have a single upgraded Hospital that meets the same needs. While I'm complaining, I may as well say that the new launcher sucks, plus I dislike buying DLC.A lot of people are familiar with the saying “quality over quantity,” and the same adage actually applies to city management in Cities: Skylines as well. It seems that most Youtubers immediately 'Pause' the game, as I do.

It seems like wasted effort and money.įurthermore, why does the game start with the game running instead of paused. While I'm on the topic, why do you have to build a small section of road to unlock some other roads at the start? I've seen many Youtubers just build it, then delete it and move on. Yes, you get a partial refund, but I make a lot of little mistakes and that eats up money quickly. I always pause the game when building, but still make mistakes and -hate- being charged for them, so I would like to be 're-imbursed' for the mistake. The underlying problem is that there is no "undo" button as far as I know.

The issue is that I'm frugal and like to play with the challenge of limited funds. Is there a money cheat to give myself, for example, an extra $10k? I know about unlimited money but I don't think that's what I want, plus doesn't that mess with the game? I'm not sure about the game effects plus it's kind of a hassle to load the content manager, enable money, make changes to my file, save, exit, go back to content manager and disable the unlimited money, then re-open my file.
