The expansion, titled “Mass Transit,” will bring new forms of transportation to the game, allowing mayor-players to offer in-game citizens new ways to get across town by land, sea, and air. With new transit service buildings, mass transit hubs where lines can exchange passengers, new scenarios, new landmarks, and new road types, Mass Transit will provide veteran players of Cities: Skylines with more choices and options to personalize their cities than ever before.
Mass Transit will feature:
Sick Transit, Glorious Money: Add a wealth of new transit options to your city, and add wealth to your city’s income! Let your citizens get across town in ferries, blimps, cable cars, and monorails!
Orderly Hub, Bub: New mass transit hubs can bring all of your services together, letting citizens change rail lines in one building, or hop from the bus onto the ferry, or even find their way through a sprawling monorail-train-metro station.
Become a Roads Scholar: Explore a set of new challenge scenarios focused on solving traffic problems and adding new transit systems. New road types, bridges and canals adds variety to your city, and new ways to solve its challenges. Become an expert in traffic flow, and then use that knowledge to improve your city!
New Hats for Chirper: NEW. HATS. FOR CHIRPER. (and also new unique buildings, policies and achievements. But HATS!)
Per usual, the new expansion will arrive together with a free update to the base game upon release. This free update adds mod-inspired features to traffic management, such as an extended public transport budget, emergency vehicle overtaking and more road features. The patch will also include the much-requested ability to name roads.
wow, they actually incorporated some pretty good stuff into this DLC.
Much easier to build roads without mods.
They even made the ground to follow road if you want to bridge shallow river (new euro themed default map with river).
I like that they now list which map comes with which DLC.
I'm trying to figure out what the use of this is ... You have to find the DLC to download, right? You have to find it at the LAST version or it will likely refuse to run with the game you got installed through Steam right? So what's the benefit compared to just pirating the game completely because this sure doesn't sound very convenient?
You make a valid point Sir Red, I suppose it's for those people that love achievements? Apart from that I see no point.
I own the base game and will one day buy the complete edition, but up to now I just play the Codex vers as I refuse to pay my hard earned cash for things that should have been be in the base game.
This game (and countless others) is a bit like buying a car without tyres, or a house with no roof and waiting for the roof/tyre DLC to be released. It's a cash cow and blatant greed.
We all know 99% of DLC is a rip off, so fuck them.

You make it sound like its a huge effort to do this. It took around 3 minutes to setup. When the game is already bought, why not use it?
Also for other games, multiplayer would be a reason to do this.
Yeah, it doesn't take much effort. Finding the DLC is as easy as finding the IsoDemo's.
If you want the all-in-one installer I understand, but it's not faster or that much more easier to someone who's used of some piracy.

Well for multiplayer and when DLC is included in the base download I understand, for the rest, it sounds REALLY annoying when the game still gets updates.
I mean, the moment Steam updates the game, your DLC breaks. Say you're in the middle of a game using the DLC and it updates and poof, you have to wait for the updated DLC to appear to be able to continue? Screw that. Just pirate the entire game then. Most of the time, the DLC is bundled with the main game anyway.

I dont know why you think we need to do anything when the game is updated. The only time i change the cream file is when new DLC is released. Same as you do when new DLC is released - you download the newest version. Its probably around a min or two extra to edit the cream api file, I dont see why that would be a problem for anyone.
Yup, the game only has one depot, files are downloaded whether you own DLC or not aka, they reside on one's drive regardless. The above just unlocks em
Signature/Avatar nuking: none (can be changed in your profile)
