Cities Skylines 2: Development Trees
Upon achieving a new service through a Milestone, you’re initially granted its foundational buildings and attributes, along with its associated Development Tree, accessible via the Progressions menu. This interface enables you to allocate your Development Points, unveiling further choices, encompassing advanced and specialized service structures. These points can be utilized immediately upon acquisition or stockpiled for future allocation, depending on your strategy or preference.
Perhaps you’re keen to quickly establish a Wastewater Treatment Plant, preventing contamination of your primary water sources. Maybe unlocking Harbors to tap into the map’s navigable waters is your priority. Alternatively, you might prioritize enriching your citizens’ recreational pursuits with Sports Parks. As you progressively unlock all Milestones, you’ll accumulate sufficient Development Points to unveil every option. However, the sequence in which you do so depends wholly on your city’s immediate requirements.
Each Development Tree is systematically segmented into tiers, each comprising a diverse set of Nodes awaiting unlock. The inaugural tier showcases the service’s rudimentary aspects, and this Node is instantaneously accessible upon service introduction. To illustrate, the initial introduction of Public Transportation affords you entry to features like Buses, Taxis, Stops, and the Line Tool. Advanced tiers necessitate a higher expenditure of Development Points but yield innovative alternatives.
Some provisions, such as Public Transportation, split into multifarious branches, each presenting distinctive paths. Although progression within a branch demands sequential Node unlocks, advancing through a tier doesn’t obligate the acquisition of every component therein. As a case in point, procuring the International Airport is feasible without the prerequisite of unlocking Waterways, Tram, or Subway modes, given you have ample Development Points.
Your allocation strategy for Development Points fundamentally sculpts your city’s contour. Early prioritization of diverse transportation avenues facilitates their organic integration into an expanding city, whereas advanced power facilities guarantee affordable, dependable power supply for residents. We eagerly anticipate discerning your prioritizations and noting the variances across individual cities. Join us next week as we spotlight the heart of your metropolis – its residents, via the Citizen Simulation and Lifepath overview.
