Maurice on Cities: Skylines 2 – “Postpone your games, damn it!”
The fact that the release of Cities: Skylines 2 was so bumpy also annoys the developers: They particularly regret that there was no mod support for the release, as was actually planned. Technical problems during development required so much attention that in the end there wasn’t enough time.
When mod support for the building game will come is not revealed in the article. However, you want to bald
communicate more on this topic.
What’s next?
There is also an outlook on upcoming updates and expansions in the blog entry. First, we look at features and changes that are addressed based on community feedback:
- Land value and zone suitability
- Education system, especially for children and teenagers
- More transparency in the economy
- Balancing subsidies and importing services
- Balance of impact on satisfaction in the absence of basic needs such as water, electricity and sewage systems
- New animations for construction sites, fire brigade operations and more
- Bicycles and cycle paths
- New buildings, free and via DLC
- New biomes, as well as assets to create your own biomes
When these innovations will come is currently largely unclear. The next update should bring a fix for the land value. Since new patches no longer appear every week, there is no specific date yet.
