Cities: Skylines 2 – Patch 1.9.19f1 keeps what was promised by the Colossal Order

Following the sub-optimal release of Cities: Skylines 2, the developers at Colossal Order decided to add mod support to the city building game as soon as possible. This is actually the heart and soul of Cities: Skylines 2, which once again underscores why the developers wanted to create realities here. Previously, some updates were released to improve the game performance which was a real issue after release.

Patch 1.9.19f1: The last of its kind, with a long changelog

Now Colossal Order has turned the 1.9.19f1 update for Cities: Skylines 2, which was promised at the beginning of the week, into reality. This is said to be the last of its kind, meaning it's the last pure patch to fix bugs and improve performance. Upcoming updates will also deal with introducing modding support. As announced, the new patch makes corrections to gameplay, statistics, performance, graphics and, in particular, base value. Here is the detailed changelog for patch 1.9.19f1:

– Improvements to land value

• The standard soil value will not drop to 0 even in highly polluted areas.
• The value of the standard land increases according to the profitability of the industrial company.
