Is there no tutorial whatsoever in-game?

I had to go to Youtube just to learn the basic to connect power grid. Even then I still managed to get Poor Mayor achievement for some reasons. Ugh.

There are pop-ups when you click on things for the first time, so technically there is a tutorial.

Unfortunately most games Paradox is involved in are somewhat bad with tutorials. At least I haven't come across any.
The best way is either from YouTube or if you have any experience from other city builders.

Honestly it's not that hard of a game. You shouldn't need a tutorial to figure things out. Plus you could just read the manual.

Asking question means stupid. Okay. I hope you have never asked any question. And you seem to have inferiority complex, go get it checked.

There are no stupid questions only stupid answers. :)

The game is really bad at explaining how things work. I got a lot of good info from here:
https://skylines.paradoxwikis.com/Cities:_Skylines_Wiki

I found it especially useful to have solid numbers on things the game is otherwise only vague about.

Yup I'm trying to read that Wiki also right now. So far it has managed to explain few bits here and there that I missed. Thanks for the tip.

Go to the game's Store page and on the right there's 'View the manual'.

Furthermore, watch tutorial videos on Youtube.

Don't know about that, when i look back at my first city i made a plethora of mistakes as the game has an understanding that isn't completely logical to how you would think it should play. So having tutorials is a must.
Most gamer's just want to play but get a surprise when their city falls apart so learn from your mistakes, make a mistake go try figure it out what you did wrong and as others have said search youtube videos with a specific search term relevant to the issue you have.

Exactly. My big mistakes were creating huge industry districts that created huge traffic issues.

When i'm trouble seeking an issue that others have that i haven't had myself i'll type the issue into a browser and see what results i get. Sometimes a video will sort it sometimes a post on reddit, steam or paradox would have experienced the issue, so it's a good idea for those learning the game to use text and video services to learn from other peoples mistakes.

And that is what I did. I stumbled on some of Biffa's videos and eventually buying the Industries DLC. Learned a lot, I did.
