Wind Farming: Drowning in Profits in Cities: Skylines 2!

Blowing in the Bucks How My Wind Turbine Obsession in Cities Skylines 2 Could Make Me a Millionaire

I might become a millionaire in Cities Skylines 2 thanks to my obsession with wind turbines.

What’s up, fellow city builders? I’ve got some juicy news for all you fans of Cities: Skylines 2. It turns out that someone has already discovered an exploit that will make your profits skyrocket in the early stages of the game. And what’s the secret ingredient? Wind farming, my friends! Not only will those magnificent wind turbines provide clean energy for your citizens, but they also have the potential to fill your coffers with gold.

Picture this: you start a new city in Cities: Skylines, and you’re given a hefty sum of starting funds. But beware, my friend! You can’t just go on a spending spree, blindly splashing cash on roads and services. If you’re not careful, your poor citizens will be left in the dark, literally. We don’t want any blackouts or angry mobs, do we? That’s where the art of maximizing profits in the early game comes into play.

Introducing my good friend (and total authoritarian) Leenton, the city builder extraordinaire. He’s a master at the money well slum strategy. Here’s how it works: you create a simple grid with dirt roads and cram all your citizens into it. Then, when the time is right, you hit them with a 13% tax across all zones! It’s like ripping open a brand new treasure chest filled with moolah. Sure, it’s a sad capitalist simulator, but hey, it gets the job done without resorting to loans.

But wait, there’s more! Combine this tactic with the power of wind turbines, and you’ve hit the jackpot. If you managed to snag the Green Cities DLC, then wind power is your new best friend. Instead of wasting your precious funds on expensive coal plants, just plop down a few wind turbines, and voila! You’re good to go. Sure, you might need more turbines to keep up with the power demand, but the best part? Zero pollution! Your city will be as happy as a clam, and your bank account will be smiling too.

Now, let’s talk about Cities: Skylines 2. The developers have unleashed wind turbines in the base game, and boy, are they overpowered. Not only do they generate electricity, but they also generate profits. All you need to do is pack a bunch of these babies together, connect them to a single residential plot, and reap the rewards. Your single settler will be living the high life while you swim in a pool of cash. Just make sure to connect your money farm to the external power line, or else you’ll be stuck in the dark ages.

“But how much profit are we talking about?” you ask. Well, according to Spiffing Brit’s calculations, sixteen wind turbines will bring in a sweet profit of ₡4,700 per hour. That’s right, per hour! And that’s just the beginning. Spiffing Brit took this exploit to the extreme and reached the Small City milestone with only one citizen. At that point, he was producing more electricity than a nuclear power plant and raking in ₡3.3 million per month in a net positive. The hourly profit figures were off the charts, standing at around ₡60,700 per hour. Madness!

Okay, I admit it. Your map will be overrun with a sea of wind turbines, and it might get a little boring. But fear not! Once you hit the Small City milestone, you can start boosting your profits even further by attracting tourists. Who knew being the greenest city on earth could be so financially rewarding?

So, fellow mayors, hop on the wind farming bandwagon, and watch those profits soar. Just don’t forget to keep your single citizen happy and occasionally put out forest fires. And who knows, maybe the devs at Colossal Order will let us keep this eco-exploit in the final game. Fingers crossed!

Now go forth, build your dream cities, and let the winds of fortune carry you to great success! And if you’re hungry for more city-building fun, check out the best city building games out there. Happy gaming, my friends!
