Coming on October 23rd, 2018 will be a massive update to the Cities: Skylines title that puts the Industrial zone in the spotlight for the first time. In it, players build unique factories and customize their industrial area with supply chains for the various resource types. Well-managed industrial areas will be more efficient, and there will also be a new city service for handling maail and cargo airports will ease important and exporting. “Industries” will also have five new maps, new policies, city services and much more.
“With this expansion, players can make more meaningful choices in their cities’ industry by managing their production chains from grain to bread.” said Sandra Neudinger, Product Manager from Paradox Interactive. “The players have been asking for an industrial expansion for a while, so we’re excited to finally offer a full featured approach.”
Features of Cities: Skylines – Industries:
- Make It Happen – Follow your products from harvesting to processing, storage and production, then transport them to commercial zones or export to other cities.
- Captain Your Own Industry – Define an area with the industry area tool and place highly specialized industrial buildings to build and manage the production chain from raw material extraction up to final end product. Industry Areas are divided into four types based on the natural resource they are processing: Farming, Forest, Ore and Oil. These areas can level up upon reaching productions goals and staffing requirements.
