Unfortunately there isnвЂ™t any way to prevent natural disasters from happening, except of course by turning them off in the menu. The key to your cityвЂ™s survival is preparation.

For a few minutes you can just sit back and watch the water flow. ThereвЂ™s something incredibly satisfying about watching a tsunami wash over your city. YouвЂ™ll just have to delete the destruction and move on. Of course a tornado isnвЂ™t going to wait until youвЂ™ve unlocked shelters before it hits. Have you kept up on building enough shelters for your population? If youвЂ™ve not put the proper detection structures in place you may never even know its coming until it is too late. When do you evacuate? Do it too soon and your city will go bankrupt, wait too long and Cims die. The alarms will go off alerting you that disaster is eminent. When disaster strikes it is a beautiful thing. While stuck in traffic on the bridge a wave of dread washed over Bill, he was going to be late to work today. So be ready to head into the Steam Workshop where players will have hundreds of scenarios on offer. You can create your own scenarios that you play yourself, but knowing what will trigger a natural disaster takes some of the excitement out of it. There are a few scenarios already programmed in but it is player made content that is really going to make this DLC shine. Scenarios can create limitations and goals to strive for, giving you the ability to fail as a city builder or succeed. Of course that isnвЂ™t the only thing that scenarios do. Poor Lakewood never stood a chance and I made it all happen. So when Lakewood was hit by a meteor after 3 weeks of game time it triggered an earthquake in another part of town, which then triggered a sinkholeвЂ¦which then caused buildings to collapse. Load up your saved city and youвЂ™ll be able to add a number of different types of disasters and triggers to set them off. ThatвЂ™s where the new scenario creator comes in. To get that meteor to strike I had to make it happen.

Little did the Cims know that a devastating meteor was headed their way. It had been a fairly successful little city, and my first attempt after the release of Snowfall. It just so happened that the sleepy little snowy town of Lakewood would be my target. If youвЂ™ve been playing Cities Skylines for a while you may already have a few towns just waiting for you to destroy. That doesnвЂ™t mean it canвЂ™t be doneвЂ¦.it just takes a little bit more work than you might initially expect. If youвЂ™re fed up with your city there is no button to push to cause a massively devastating earthquake. Lets start off by saying that you arenвЂ™t playing God. How does one destroy a city? Earthquakes, tornados, and meteors of course! This is Cities Skylines: Natural Disasters, the third DLC release for the incredibly successful city building simulation game. If there has been one feature that Cities Skylines fans have been eagerly waiting for above any other it is the ability to destroy the cities theyвЂ™ve worked so hard to build.
