Stories 2022-08-10 Marin Bay Game-play
2022-08-10T13:26:00Z Started savegame on Marin Bay, all outside connections, suitable area for building 61%, base theme: temperate.
Goal is to reach population 100k today as quick as possible while still enjoying the game.
Addons used: CargoHoldFix, ExtendedGameOptions, Harmony, RealPopRevisited, RoundaboutBuilder.
What an terrible starting location, hopefully this terrain would get better when you expand but first impression is really really bad.
2022-08-10T13:32:00Z Little Hamlet population 300.
Okay now we got taxes and money starts to come in. But I don't think we can grow enough in this small island, heh ridiculous. This is without the doubt the worst starting location for a terrain I've ever seen in Cities Skylines.
2022-08-10T13:38:00Z Worthy Village population 600.
Purchased the terrain grid tile towards north, hopefully it gets us started with proper city building.
2022-08-10T13:43:00Z Tiny Town population 950.
Eeww 
2022-08-10T13:50:00Z Boom Town population 1.7k.
I learned this one unit housing zoning from real population addon developer.
This is so stupid and cheaty, but heh gotta give it a try if we get to population goal with less landscape used 
Hilarious midget houses 
2022-08-10T14:20:00Z Busy Town population 3.4k.
First game save for Marin_Bay_1 file name.
2022-08-10T14:42:00Z Big Town population 5k.
High density zones, metro, incineration plant and university are now available.
So I removed all the single midget dog houses and replaced them with full block zoning high density residential, I lost about half of my population if not more as the single houses disappeared so did the occupants. Oh well we'll get them back.
2022-08-10T14:57:00Z Small City population 7k.
This milestone gives us cargo train station and two good policies. Activated small business enthusiast and big business benefactor policies.
2022-08-10T15:02:00Z Big City population 11k.
Crematorium, large water tower and advanced inland water treatment plant are now available.
2022-08-10T15:06:00Z Grand City population 14k.
These achievements come quickly now hmm, odd. Maybe its terrain specific or something.
2022-08-10T15:19:00Z Capital City population 22k.
Cargo harbor is now available.
2022-08-10T15:24:00Z This savegame, well terrain, is such a crap. I don't like this at all, but lets get it to 100k population so I can mark this terrain played and move on.
2022-08-10T15:36:00Z Colossal City population 32k.
