You have any real interest in making your industrial zones into something special in terms of their value to your city's economy. The system is not without its weaknesses, but they're awfully minor.įor one thing, there is still that great big “but what about your playstyle” question that looms over every single DLC, even the mandatories if you're just not into having manufacturing cities and you're going to devote that real estate to building powerhouse office zones, there is nothing in Industries that demands you not do that, and there are still only so many citizens to go around in the labor pool.įor another, maybe you don't have $14.99 to burn, and this one's still brand-new so it's not getting its first sale until probably Christmas at the earliest.īut if the money won't break you, and you have any interest at all in stirring a little tycoon game peanut butter into your chocolate city builder, this is absolutely essential.
They repurposed the existing system for drawing districts to let you build out the industrial zone exactly where and in what size you want it.

It cannot be overstated just how much this utterly revolutionizes gameplay.Įspecially when combined with the menu setting that gives unlimited oil and ore resources rather than ones that deplete in about 10 minutes of gameplay, this is the DLC that turns industrial zones from earlygame stopgaps into true profit drivers of their own.Įven better, Colossal Order made the creation of these new-style industrial zones super easy for anyone who's played the base game, and double-especially for anyone who's played Parklife. This is the DLC that actually makes the natural resources on the map useful. Miss it if:įor some bizarre reason (seriously, this DLC is absolutely essential), trying to run bigger cities with inefficient road networks somehow appeals more than having major gameplay improvements.Īs the game's promotional materials put it, “mind your business” with Industries, a DLC that manages to layer a resource- and production-management RTS on top of a city builder without losing the plot in either case.
You want your roads to be more efficient and you want a way to generate additional revenue streams to provide variety to your city's economy through leisure and tourism.

This is generally $7.49 on sale and $14.99 at full price and is the first DLC on this list well worth shelling out the complete cost of admission for. Throw in taxi service on the roads to relieve congestion, and you see why After Dark was a complete and essential expansion that offered something for everyone. It also comes with the International Airport, and if you've had a city big enough to where air capacity has become a concern, you'll know exactly what a gem this building is in the lategame. Even if you're not a huge fan of those yellow blocks on the map where the dirty jobs of the city get done, having them be profitable means they're not just eating space to keep demand for labor up. Much like in any other city in the real world, the ability for bus lines to seamlessly converge on a central point is what makes it actually useful to the citizenry.Īfter Dark also introduced cargo hubs, which provide massive boosts to the city's industrial economy, especially with the Industries DLC. The Bus Terminal is absolutely essential to creating a large, integrated public transportation system that can serve a large city. No, what makes After Dark a must-have is the overhaul of city services that it brings. Nor is it a mandatory because of the leisure and tourist buildings (which you may end up not using at all).

Must-have Cities: Skylines DLCsĪfter Dark isn't a mandatory because of the day/night cycle (which came with the free patch that accompanied the expansion anyway). Never send a paid content-only DLC to do a mod's job, I say. Stuff like Content Creator packs and radio stations add nice flavor to the game, but to be bluntly honest, they're really not worth spending your own money on, not when so much of that stuff is available in the Steam Workshop for free. Special note: I'm not including minor packs that don't make major gameplay changes. For that, here's your guide to every Skylines DLC, from “not worth it at any price” to “buy it even if it isn't on sale, it's that good.” Maybe, instead, you're looking to keep your purchases down to the cost of a fast-food meal, but you really want to make the money count.
And while you may be tempted to just buy the complete game-and-DLC bundle (a more than $150 value for about 56 bucks), and you'd get a fantastic experience out of so doing, maybe you don't quite want to go whole hog right out of the box.
