The story behind Fair Banks County

Fair Banks County (November 2023 – February 2024) was the channel's first full Cities: Skylines II season, built entirely in vanilla CS2 without mods.

The setting was a historic region of islands and coastline, meant to become a tourism destination. It began with a small-lot road layout and a first village, then quays along the residential waterfront, a geothermal power plant, a cargo harbour and a recycling centre in place of the landfill.

The middle episodes built out suburbs — Hillside Crest among them — an American football stadium, stone mining, a natural reserve made without a parks expansion, and an American-style commercial district with a secondary downtown.

Episode 18 is the standout: the map's huge bridge to the mainland was replaced with an underwater highway and train tunnel. The season closed with a car manufacturing plant, an entertainment district and a pre-planned traffic fix in the finale.
