Actually, you can figure out what is causing the sickness in the red background by hovering your mouse over it when you select the building, but still helps man!

Bro you post nothing but pure quallity, no unnecesary time streching or anything just straight to the point in a fun and understandable way. You are the best Youtuber in Cities Skylines in my opinion!

[ChrisHarvey-wg]

The water pollution tips really helped me out. Thanks!

[serenegrace]

Im happy and sad at the same time. During the last month I've encountered lots of great, yet underrated YouTubers. This is another one. Dude you deserve so much more. Keep up the great job and awesome content!

[eggbro]

Thanks a lot man your tutorial saved my city. Didn't notice that the water tower was in a polluted area

[spritemon]

Thank you!!! I was dealing with a massive epidemic just now and this helped me so much

[cds]

Very informative for people getting started, good job!

[lonegray]

dude this is so helpful, thank you so much dawg

[rthyxdead]

Thank you, really saved my city. Water pollution was causing a massive epidemic and hundreds of deaths, however this video really helped me. Thanks, and also these tips do work on the console version of the game as well.

Thank you so much! Liked, subscribed, and notifications on :) Your video is clear and concise, (didn't need to increase playback speed). You answered questions that might seem newbie, yet many experienced players still struggle with these issues - myself included. I love that you simply identified the problem, then quickly illustrated the solution. Pausing the video to take a longer look at your layouts was truly educational! I will be doing a LOT of rezoning. Finally, thank you for the clear, uncluttered sound quality. I am hearing impaired, so no background music and not having to clutter my screen with CC is greatly appreciated. Can't wait to see more!

[notorioustap]

I knew all of this but still I feel like I’ve learned something. Thank you for this video.

[BGE]

Glad to have found your channel. You make quality content!

[shamstabrez]

i cant tell u how much it helped. Thanks dude. Can u make more of these types of tutorials please ....

[Hntz-sr]

I just noticed that i have almost the same city layout as yours on the same map. Surprising.

[controlsixtyfour]

I was going to comment and say that literally everyone was either sick or dying and nothing was working, sewage was downstream from intake, no water towers at all, no industry near the intake, I even increased the water and healthcare budgets, spammed clinics and hospitals even.
then I went into pollution view and the only other place was around my 2nd landfill, which was on the same street as some roadside water treatment. after deleting the water treatment all the icons disappeared in seconds.

[kifli]

Oh, thank you so much! This saved lives!

[malaki]

Flow!
Proper placement of infrastructure
Upgrading...
& proper placement of towers in non industrial areas


:)
Happy playing :)

[Twseef]

i litterally stopped playing this game for months because everyone got sick and then i turn on pollution view and see a water tower is in polluted land. im about to cry because of how stupid i am

[thomas]

I accidentally built an inlet where my sewage outlets were, my whole entire town collapsed before I realised

[manperson]

OK, so that's how my entire city got sick and died I think, there were some water towers on polluted ground, now I gotta restart.
