Fantastic update! Couple thoughts I have from just playing:

Employee counts and/or wage costs should be included in the tooltip for service buildings.

The small coal power plant seems expensive… it costs about 3 x as much as a wind turbine in terms of dollars per megawatt produced. Not sure if that’s a skill issue on my end or if the costs are just imbalanced.

Multiple new urban schools nicely fit together to create a very high capacity school !
Here with 3 schools (only the middle one is upgraded), covering the same area than the original school:

Thanks for this pleasant surprise. Can't wait to try these after a few key mods are updated.

Apart from the homeless bug being pointed by everybody, please don't forget the mass transit boarding bug that get vehicules stuck for ages at overcrowded platforms. This is critical for trains and subways that have their efficiency ruined, whole lines can come to a complete stop with all vehicules waiting in line behind a bugged one.
Out of all the major simulation breaking bugs, this is the one that surprises hasn't been resolved because it's been a day 1 issue. It completely brings the transportation network to a halt.

All in all, this update is so exciting! I've had nonstop fun with the new economy mechanics and it makes me want to play the game more due to the challenge of running a city. Have a great holiday!

The new assets are great. They really should have been there from the start, but I'm happy and excited to have them now.

The one thing missing is variant administration buildings. We need Town Hall and small City Hall buildings. We need a small welfare office and small court buildings.

Happy with what is there now, but happier when things get better.

This is a great update! I would also love a roundabout with nothing in the center (just continue the pavement) for creating cul-de-sacs! It's very common where I live in the U.S.

Hi everyone. Today's patch includes fixes for some of the issues reported with patch 1.1.5f1, also known as Economy 2.0, as well as some new free content. Our art team has been working on new service building variations and additional theme vehicles to expand the options you have. For those of you who enjoy detailing, we have added an Age Selector to the Tree Placement Tool for more control over your trees, and the Surface Tool which allows you to add 11 different surfaces to your city. As the #1 implies, this is only part 1 of "Detailer's Patch" as we want to address the feedback we've received and improve the support for this play style. More information on what else we have in the works to come.

For now, we hope you will enjoy the new additions and bug fixes. Thank you to everyone who reported bugs or shared constructive feedback, and to everyone who has filled out the survey. We've already started looking into how we can tweak balancing in the future based on your responses.

And as always, if you encounter any new issues following this patch, we'd appreciate a bug report here:

We wish you a wonderful July and look forward to continuing development when we're back in the office in August.

Remember: A new patch can cause compatibility issues with mods. If you have issues, please disable mods and wait for them to be updated by modders. See this thread for more information.

Known Issues
The Small Post Office doesn’t receive incoming mail to distribute in the city.

Office companies recover from the 5/5 worker count slowly, provided they’re able to make a profit in the city.

Office companies may not leave the city as they should when their building is removed. If you’re still seeing offices stuck at 5/5 workers or continuously losing workers, they are likely stuck in the city. You can force them out using this workaround:
  • Increase office tax to 30%
  • Let the simulation run until all office buildings are empty, which may take about a month in-game time. You can see empty office buildings (shown as grey) in the Profitability Info View, or check when you no longer receive any tax income from offices.
  • Once all office companies have left your city, set the tax back to your preferred level.
  • New office companies will start to populate your city.
  • Please note: You will likely not see any office demand for a while as you have many empty office buildings. This is completely normal. Office demand will return with time as the existing buildings fill up.

As an alternative that preserves the office demand, you can do the following:
  • Remove all office zoning in your city.
  • Let the simulation run until you have 0 tax income from offices.
  • Zone offices again where you want them.
Love the update and patch , Keep it up. Was really surprised :) Now all that needs to be added are bikes & bike roads, Monorail, Ferries and Elevated train stations :) Loving the parks, buildings and extra surfaces :) Keep up with the good work :)

Wow... I'm impressed with the quick hotfix turnaround time and the added assets/ground tiles were sorely needed.

I've been VERY critical of the game but this is what we need more of. Still requires quite a bit more to get to where we need to be but I will insert my foot in my mouth. For now.... BWAHAHAHA kidding. Good stuff, team.

Ugh, how comes I still have to download the entire game again when you guys patch the windows store version? This only happens with Cities Skylines 2 and Snowrunner so is it you guys or something on my end?
I downloaded a 1.5GB patch. If you have to download the entire game, I'd guess there's something strange about your install. Have you tried verifying the game install via Steam?

Wow, that sounds like s lot! Cool! But pretty sure this will break the tree control mod. So, still have to wait for that to get fixed. And honestly, as there was already a mod for that, I would have preferred something for which there still is not solution or just a bad one like retaining walls, marinas and so much more.
