The final piece of sky-related new content is the General Aviation Club (GAC), a new “Unique Building.” The GAC is a regional airport dedicated to smaller aircraft that belong to your own’s city citizens.
When elevated, the tracks lay on pillars, thus allowing them to cross over roads rather than having to cut through. The overground metro does function independently from existing underground metro networks, so your lines and tracks will not be intertwined. It’s a sky train!Īnother new public transportation option, the Overground Metro/Elevated Train, functions similarly to the existing subway, except this time it can be placed either on the ground or elevated off of the ground rather than running beneath it. Even so, it’s cool to see them effortlessly buzz around the sky. Of course, they do add to the noise pollution of a city. But since these are for air travel, the helicopter routes do not collide with objects and buildings the same way a road would. Routes must be built for the helicopters to follow between dedicated stops.īuilding the routes is very similar to that of constructing a road. These aircraft can carry 20 passengers at a time and quickly shuttle them from one end of a city to another using a sky road network. Passenger Helicopter Services are another addition to public transportation included in Cities: Skylines – Sunset Harbor. You do not need to create new routes for intercity buses, and they can make use of existing regular bus stops. Thus, the stations must be built near a highway. Intercity Buses are for taking passengers to different settlements. (Other vehicles can also use them as a regular road.) Thus, you’ll need to either modify your existing road network to facilitate trolleybuses, unless you decide to build new roads. Special roads with these lines need to be constructed in order for the trolleybuses to drive on them. Trolleybuses make use of overhead electrical lines. Now, your settlement can be even more connected using “Trolleybuses” and “Intercity Buses.” Bustling new busesīuses have always been available in Cities: Skylines, but the Sunset Harbor expansion adds even more options. So, it’s best to use a map where a variety of water sources are accessible.
In order to properly handle the new fishing industry, you must construct either your harbor or farm in an area that is free from water pollution. The market allows citizens to buy fresh fish, whereas the factory will can the fish and distribute it to commercial zones.
The individualized farms produce higher yields than either a harbor or multi-species farms.įish from either a harbor or farm can be transported to a fish market and/or fish factory. Additionally, farms for algae or seaweed production can also be built, as well as farms that are dedicated to each of the individual fish species. If that is the case, you can instead build a fish farm near a body of water, which produces all four of the aforementioned species. Not all species may necessarily be living in your map, so you could end up only being able to access one or two species on a large scale. From my testing, it seems that two routes can be handled per fishing harbor. Fishing routes can cover large or small distances a heat map will show you where the different species are most concentrated. In order to achieve this, routes must be designed throughout waterways like rivers and the ocean. You can now build dedicated fishing harbors to send out small vessels to reel in hauls of four different fish species: anchovy, salmon, shellfish, and tuna. The one new piece of content that actually matches the name “Sunset Harbor” would be the introduction of the fishing industry. I’m happy to report that it’s been an engaging experience, to say the least.
There are so many new tools to use that it took me 8 hours to try and see everything. While it sounds like it could be a beautiful seaside settlement, it’s really an extensive pack of new features that will help add even more life to your virtual people farms. Cities: Skylines is back in the public consciousness thanks to the release of a new expansion pack-(the slightly oddly named)- Sunset Harbor.
