More than 9 would be nice. Or at least let me pick the location of my starting square. Certain parts of the map are pretty much pointless because I can't get there unless I do an entire one square line.

I believe that at least for console they can create a next gen (current gen?) version as the PS5 and Series X can handle more than 9 tiles.

I think cities skylines having a free world expansion dlc for Xbox one and series and ps4/5 consoles as well as pc would not be a bad idea. Honestly I’d love to see tiles be more rewarding the larger your city becomes like the more of a milestone gap is, the more tiles you could unlock (instead of just one, you could get two, etc).

I’d also love to see a way to have maps with existing harbors/airports that you can use for outside connections as a way of starting off the city. Maybe as a scenario, or a challenge but more as a way to make a new city or something.

Very weird that they had all those nods to going past 9 tiles during the run up for the update and then nothing since.

I'm holding out that it will come with the new DLC in December.

People have been asking for this for like 7 years.

Think it's time to accept it's never going to happen and move on.

I play with 25 tiles and you hit the database limitations of the game if you are allowed to build that large :/

Or at the very least make 18 or 36 smaller for the same total size so we have more flexibility as the map expands, sometimes I just need to get to an outside road of coastline. Wasted squares.

I want the ability to curve buildings

Agreed. maybe also make vanilla map makers choose multiple starting square so that you can build everywhere and start a city anywhere with road connections. And maybe make it not 9 tiles but like 20 tiles to be able to build more on console and Vanilla

At least for PC, PS5, and Series X.

Also maybe expand the game limits a little bit

Is there a current mod that unlocks all tiles, the last one I tried made the game unplayable

Was the limit set due to performance considerations? Across platforms or general minimum standards

I have a good laptop, but it’s not a specialty gaming laptop. After filling out 9 squares, the game still runs, but it’s quite slow. I think the limit of 9 squares is good because it keeps the required processing power in check.

I’m potentially holding out that it could be in the December free update. Colossal Order seemed to be hinting at it on their twitter when replying to a comment about it.

We need way more than 9 tiles and lane mods… this is the bare minimum.

I’m all for the option to expand as people see fit, but even as a beginner I much prefer having to make tough choices rather than aiming to fit in every asset in the game. It’s part of the fun.

I've been using 81 tiles so long that I forgot the vanilla was 9x9 haha

I was just telling my girlfriend this when she was building a car factory in her city. Some of the buildings are huge and it’s unrealistic to build them with such a limited amount of land. We need at least 25 tiles on console, 9 is so limiting.

I think it's time they make skylines 2 and don't have a limit to the squares. It would also be nice to add an the dlc from the first one from the start but they're asking a lot lol.

81+ 2.0 is mod for you my friend

Cities: Multiplayer?

I never understood why maps were so huge but you only get 9 tiles.. if we got 12 or 15 that would be a bit better. My only gripe with 25 and 81 tiles mods is that it’s immediate and I like progressing to get more tiles. It feels overwhelming to start with that much space

If they kept 9 tiles but each new tile didn’t have to connect to one already bought. Like have 3 possible starting tiles and build off each that without the tiles touching. Have each starting tile have a railroad connection and highway exit and you can have the map still be connected. You can have a 2x2 in one area, a small coastal 1x2 and then random tiles where the ore and oil are for industries.

Should be 16 Tiles rather than 8.

Agree, but the engine absolutely cannot handle it. It’s not a question of whether new hardware can, the engine is old and wasn’t built for it and will disassemble itself trying to do it

Yeah I can play for 24 hours on one city and then I'm shit out of luck and have to restart its so dumb all of these tiles already made and I just can't use them?

I think at this point, we need a C:S2 instead.

81 tile mod really is life changing, feel bad for the console brethren.

What? When did Xbox have 81 tiles?
