Shout out to Paradox for sponsoring the UBG! Ready to build a custom harbor?! Check out the DLC here - play.citiesskylines.com/CityPlannerPlays

------------------------------------------------------------

With the release of the Bridges and Ports DLC, custom harbors are now possible in Cities: Skylines II. In this video, I’ll show you how to make one and easily level it up in a completely vanilla playthrough.

We’ll look at real-world port design for inspiration, build a functional starter port, and work through the new leveling progression system while planning for future rail connections. Along the way, we’ll experiment, make adjustments, and take creative liberties to show how the new features come together.

We’ll also dive into the new specialized industries, construct a signature building to anchor our waterfront, and showcase how Bridges and Ports can transform the way you build coastal cities in Cities: Skylines II.
