That hard enforcement of "no lane switching" they spammed all over the city is hard to watch. Probably why they had a 6 lane Roundabout too. They were Building in a panic.
A "Getting Started" video would be dope for this game. Including downloading, where to find, and anything for someone interested in getting started into Cities: Skylines
@@juanjodpr To be fair public transportation in this game without mods is pretty insane. Almost no public transit system other than metro and maybe Trains is worth anything. Each bus only holds 30 people and it takes them something like 3 seconds to load and unload. Yet hundreds if not thousands of people will que up to take the bus in a high density residential area. The numbers also go up and down as people decide which route is better, so one moment you have 30 buses that can't keep up, next you have 5 people riding the bus. The mod that scales that up and down automatically is a god send. Other wise your best off having nothing but metro around your city.
@@JustaGuy_Gaming I really wonder why the taxi is not present in this game, it could seriously help the traffic but maybe only mods make that posible, I ignore if that vehicle even exist in the game already as a 'normal' car or not.
@@juanjodpr I only have access to four of the DLC and no mods in the game I am playing and I have taxis. I think it might of been the mass transit DLC but it's what ever came with the bundle pack. It is however a fairly poor method to use. I mean it's still a car and usually one person gets in it, it does nothing to help prevent traffic and if you don't use it the citizens just pull a car out of their pocket.
@@juanjodpr taxis do exist in the game but I wouldn't recommend using them. They only clog up roads more and some modded roads even cause ppl to wait for taxi in the middle of the road
6:25 "Check my discord for which nodes i'm using, urghh what nodes i'm using, my WORMS today aren't working properly" - Biffa 2020 - the man of few worms and many mistakes! Love the content and keep up the great videos bud!
I will say, before I had made the decision to subscribe a few days ago, my home page was /flooded/ with your videos. I mean, I've certainly been enjoying them, but at the very least the recommendation algorithm has your back.
Thanks for helping to make a difficult day less stressful. Your fix city videos are my favorite destresser. Don't even play city skylines (can't get as far as setting up a bus line), though I used to play simcity.
Just discovered your videos yesterday and been binging on them. You are the most helpful Cities Skylines youtuber I've seen. Thanks for doing your stuff!
@@ChadBarnier I mean, those lane connectors are stopping any cars from actually using the sliplanes he just put in. Screamed at my screen for that. Noo, don't leave them on there!
I click PLAY and immediately I ask my monitor "what the monkeyshines is this mess?", my OCD goes off the charts, I get queasy and feel a lil ill. Once Biffa gets started fixing (by replacing the roadway with real highway) I started feeling better. Thank you Biffa!
1:30 Classical mistake of accidentally creating a usefull connection between highways, right through your city. That is usually the main issues with designs that do not make a properly spaced highway cricle.
5:00 You dislike teh Cloverlaef? But it is one of the best- if not the best - interchange designs: - you can turn left and right equally easy - you can turn around on the Highway. No need to look for a roundabout down the line - if in real life you missed your lane off to the right, you have a 2nd way to the right: Just take the 2nd one off towards the left. Then the next one off to the bottom. Then the next one off to the left - and all that with a low, symterical footprint
15:55 Why not give the Cargo Train Terminal a dedicated on/off lane? Just upgrade teh road to a 2/3 one, with the extra lance facing the terminal. That should prevent traffic going for the terminal to block up the road ahead.
@@christopherg2347 Cloverleaf junctions aren't great for the sole reason of joining traffic before a slip road, those coming onto the motorway have to contend with those trying to leave the motorway. Ideally the slip road for those leaving the motorway would be before the road coming on, yes it means turning around on the motorway isn't possible and a roundabout needs found but it solves the issue of the junction.
@@Soutar3DG We just swap places. Those that want to get on the leave lane make room for those comming in. And when in doubt we just do a 270° to get where we want to. I could see it being problematic in the game due to AI limits.
"...get Hugo out of his box..." - classic Biffa :) This week I'm clearing out the garage as we are having a bit of work done on the house starting next week and the only access to the work area is through the garage. Busy weekend ahead...
Kept trying to find out why my traffic manager mod wasn't the same as yours and realized you have not updated that in your mods list on steam. No biggie. Love your content!
Thanks once again Biffa. Nice and efficient fixes. I do feel sorry for the 6-lane roundabouts that didn't get the 3-lane fix. Its so quick to do. A sip of tea and a few clicks. No excuses next time. I will be watching! ;)
Not so much relaxing, but in at the deep end and turned off despawning on my 75.000 city....it went from 82% to 55%....but I had also just put in the Space Elevator right in the middle of a tourist area *eek*! So that was blocking everything up! Dealt with that, did a round of dedicated turning lanes, and wound back up at 80% and 100.000+ citizens. So yay for giving people options, spreading industries out, a sliplane here and there + dedicated turning lanes :) Thanks for all your instructions!
Sounds like a rough weekend for you Biffa. I discovered your videos this weekend (and subscribed), watched pretty obsessively, and now am working on not making all these mistakes in my own city. Hahahaha
Biffa I have a challenge for you, can you build a mega city with 750k citizens 90%Traffic or better while still making the city look like a city with every asset in the city used in the end. Can you do it?
Love how biffa took a smooth flowing city and made it come to halt. :P (highlight video were swapped) Also biffa needed a comment and like. So doing both. Hope he can upload more now that corona lockdown is happening in many places. 24hour biffa marathon could happen.
I wish I could have you fix my city, but sadly I just don't have issues.... it's growing (180k+ pop still) and traffic is generally around 82-84% Very happy with its development. Maybe more city reviews would be neat too.
My weekend? My wife had a baby! So now I have your videos to look forward to for our late night feedings. Thanks for my sleep deprived entertainment, biffa
Wow I just discovered your channel. Well done work here Sir. My deepest respect! However, how do you create the dedicated turning lanes with just one click? I have traffic manager but I always used the tool where you need to connect all the circles.
My weekend was fine, thanks for asking. I had an exam in my "Machine Components" course on the saturday and spent the Sunday helping my friends study for their exam in Multiple variable calculus. But the best part was that I am free this entire week so my weekend hasn't really ended yet!
Had some troubles with my own highway connections then I thought what would Biffa do. Then I fixed it with putting some T interchanges in ( the vanilla ones ) And it went up from 56% to 89% :D.
biffa on every city he's asked to fix: "this is one of the wooooorst cities I've ever seen, red as far as the eye can see, the traffic is absolutely horrrrrendous"
Always love a good fix-it episode! Biffa, what shortcuts/hotkeys do you use for the TM:PE for node selection (so you don't need to keep clicking the buttons)?
How was my weekend? It was good, thank you for asking :D Been going through my old cities and fixing (trying lol) things. Im a big fan of grids because it just looks pleasing to me, but the tight together grids are a nightmare for traffic. Still, 65% traffic movement isnt bad considering :D especially since everybody is still sick from my borking up the water supply so there are ambulances and hearses everywhere lol My newer cities are doing much better :D
Hey, I just noticed the streams are in 1440p and 4K now. Excellent quality. I dont know when this started? Is this why you needed the extra RAM? Thanks Biffa!
6:00 As a quick fix, to generate a node, if you don’t have all of Electrix’ mods, you can use a regular (zoned) road to make an intersection with the highway.
Hey Biffa! Nice episode as usual ;) In my cities, I have seen that reducing bus lanes from 'active day and night' to 'day only' or 'night only' makes sure that the buses clear the way every once in a while. Hope it can be used!
Hah! Finally have something to say in response to your 'what did you this weekend' question. I replaced my 10 year old Lenovo 2 core/8GB X230 laptop with a home-build 6 core/12 thread AMD 3600 with 32GB and a fast M.2 boot drive. And a GTX 1660 Super SC Ultra. Not the top end but it's amazing! Nice fixes with the highway through the city and the roundabout highway interchanges. I've been messing with the basic 'Fix the traffic' scenario and those will help in several places. Still trying to get to 82% to beat it.
Thanks for the vid! I think the link in the description is the one for the previous city fix, would you mind sharing the one for this one? Also, you probably already knew, but in the policies options of TMPE you can enable 'Enable highway specific lane merging/splitting rules', which causes cars not to cross over all the lanes when merging in, and also to only change one lane at a time, instead of 2 or 3 what you sometimes see.
Hey biffa, have you ever considered taking a look at real life cities with major traffic problems, and thought to try to apply your cities skylines traffic solving skills to them.?
Always love watching these videos of yours, not only are the incredibly informative, but you also have a super pleasing voice. It's hard not to be happy listening to your chat away about lane mathmatics.....
When Biffa's kids are sick: Biffa: Let me tell you a story... Kid: (Oh no) Biffa: Once upon a time there was this city, and it was a lovely city, but the traffic was just unbelievable, it was down to 7%! 20 min later Kid: zzz Biffa: And then Hugo finally fixed the traffic and the city was running smoothly again. The end!
At 15:40 - the cargo terminal should have connections to the main rail track that are at least one train length long to avoid unnecessary disruption of traffic on the main track. A detail that makes a difference when the traffic volume increases. Then have the "Ground Bypass Station" from BadPeanut on the main track. Just check out all the items/assets from BadPeanut - they are great.
Hey Biffa, I've always wondered how yo ugot to know that lane mathematics would work so well. I mean, I don't see it in real life (at least where I live) so what had you try it?
At 17:35 you deleted a road next to a landfill site. Now there's a good reason for keeping it! I found when emptying a landfill, if the bin lorries don't have an area to turn around, they end up doing a big loop just and can clog up a network. If you put in a small section of road either side of a disposal site (a landfill and incineration plant) it will isolate the emptying process! :)
For your question, there was nothing special going on the weekend. Now we have home office for weeks due to the current situation, so I'll plenty of time to manage my city :)
Heya biffster Moving to Amsterdam hopefully april. Lots of parties coming up, Unleashed 21 march, Paradise 28 March, THE Wasteland 4 april, Boudor Bizarre 18 April. Life is very hectic.
@11:10 */bonks Biffa for bonkin' the noobs* I just binged watched the "old pre-traffic fixing" Biffa who used to use 6 lane roundabouts :P We all have done it at some point LOL
I don't want to offend anyone, but these road connections and the way everything is build around it, is absolutely horrendous. I'd say the person just started playing a week ago. 🤨
As someone who plays an almost stock console version of this game, i think i know why people use a lot of the 6-lane roads for heavy roundabouts; its all they have. They probably dont have all the DLCs so options for 1-way roads are 1-lane highway ramp, 2-lane, 4-lane highway, and 6-lane. Suddenly the 6-lane roundabouts make more sense.
Actually, I think the builder did a great job creating different areas across their map and working out their own roundabout fixes. They look better than my fixes do any day of the week. (not interested in using mods right now) I sunk a few hours into this game this past weekend, and my road building skills are horrible. They're better than they were when I first started playing though, thanks to Biffa and a few other people. I think my biggest aggravation is when I try to build roads that meet up, but they rarely meet up at one node. I don't know if the ground's not level or what, but it is so annoying not having perfect corners! I run out of most of my money trying to fix that issue. I hope they make an undo command for this game, just so I can automatically undo that kind of stuff without losing money.
I just came here because of the thumbnail. The fact is, I've tried build that kind of roundabout with flyover. But it still can't solve the problem, until I create another underpass for another point to point.
Hey Biffa! Not quite related to Cities Skylines, but what are your thoughts on the Ryzen 9 3900x, as this is your current CPU. I'm thinking of upgrading to that CPU in the not too distant future :) Greetings from Austria ;)
Hey Biffa, Thanks for checking out the city. Yeah I'm totally new playing this. :) I am a bit confused though. I mean when you played my map you had like 7% traffic to start, yet when I open the exact same map that I shared to you I have roughly 64-65% traffic. I can't help but wonder if something didn't get transferred over? My issue I was having was that the city magically started losing money and people. For the most part my city had been pretty profitable until now. Also in my defense I don't have any of the mod/dlc mass transit etc so I couldn't build many of those roads you put in. My game has very limited highway types...etc. So that's pretty much why I used 6 lanes for the roundabout (not many choices in the roundabout mod I have) which also puzzles me since I had understood the roundabout mod was supposed to setup the lane rules automatically with traffic manager. As I am new I am now also wondering how I can access the map you changed? I do not see anything updated on the share for example. Cheers!

If you put in a small section of road either side of a disposal site (a landfill and incineration plant) it will isolate the emptying process! :)
-by giving the bin lorries a place to turn around :)
My recommended videos now consists almost entirely of Would I lie to you, Fred Dibnah, and Biffa fixing cities :D
😁
Thanks Hugo !
For your question, there was nothing special going on the weekend. Now we have home office for weeks due to the current situation, so I'll plenty of time to manage my city :)
61 busses for 9 passangers? as a busdriver.. i think thats pretty spot on accurate
Heya biffster
Moving to Amsterdam hopefully april. Lots of parties coming up, Unleashed 21 march, Paradise 28 March, THE Wasteland 4 april, Boudor Bizarre 18 April. Life is very hectic.
Future welcome to the Netherlands :)
Welcome! Sorry to inform you some of these events will probably be cancelled...
@@InternetThe March events for sure, yeah
16:00 Forcing trucks to back up into an adjacent roundabout (which is also connected to the main local viaduct)? Oh Biffa, what have you done?!
Biffa, you had a city fix with 4% traffic, you got this. Piece of cake.
@11:10 */bonks Biffa for bonkin' the noobs* I just binged watched the "old pre-traffic fixing" Biffa who used to use 6 lane roundabouts :P We all have done it at some point LOL
You really make this look so easy! Thanks for the great content and tips.
I don't want to offend anyone, but these road connections and the way everything is build around it, is absolutely horrendous. I'd say the person just started playing a week ago. 🤨
I'm going to start playing today when I buy all the expansion dlcs. I'm sure my city will look similar if not worse
I don't know, looks like the same system my local City uses. Looks professional to me.
The difference is y'all watch biffa, so you'll likely fare better. Don't overdo it, the AI does the heavy lifting, all you need to do is help it.
@@BlueNEXUSGaming I'll be doing some vanilla cities before I add all the helpful mods
@@SmashingSnow
Yeah, but Lane Mathmatics is Vanilla. So, you'll likely be much better off because you'll see the Lane's effect on your Traffic.
That cargo terminal has turned into a black hole, or maybe a Hotel Calfornia! A steady stream of trucks enter, but none leave.
Oh this reminds me of my earliest cities when i thought more lanes is good solution for chocco blocc.... :D
As someone who plays an almost stock console version of this game, i think i know why people use a lot of the 6-lane roads for heavy roundabouts; its all they have. They probably dont have all the DLCs so options for 1-way roads are 1-lane highway ramp, 2-lane, 4-lane highway, and 6-lane. Suddenly the 6-lane roundabouts make more sense.
Actually, I think the builder did a great job creating different areas across their map and working out their own roundabout fixes. They look better than my fixes do any day of the week. (not interested in using mods right now)
I sunk a few hours into this game this past weekend, and my road building skills are horrible. They're better than they were when I first started playing though, thanks to Biffa and a few other people.
I think my biggest aggravation is when I try to build roads that meet up, but they rarely meet up at one node. I don't know if the ground's not level or what, but it is so annoying not having perfect corners! I run out of most of my money trying to fix that issue.
I hope they make an undo command for this game, just so I can automatically undo that kind of stuff without losing money.
Ayyy more of the sweet sweet Biffa content! Keep up the good work!
Why does this disaster look like something I would build 😂😂😂
I love how Hugo is actually a thing now
Yay! This will make the last hour of work a bit more bearable!
Thanks Biffa, your videos and consistent approach has made all of my cities so much better. repetition for emphasis... keep 'em coming!
23:03 first the worms and then that laugh Biffas brain can't handle the traffic anymore! He had enough spaghetti, mama mia!
Biffa I'd like to thank you for your lane management, it helps alot on the xbox version. Take a sip of tea for your greatness😁👍☕
Just like me - come back after the weekend, I can't remember shift either.
That is the Highway intersection that I always do but underground, the highway as well as the roundabout. Works pretty well 😊
I just came here because of the thumbnail. The fact is, I've tried build that kind of roundabout with flyover. But it still can't solve the problem, until I create another underpass for another point to point.
Hey Biffa! Not quite related to Cities Skylines, but what are your thoughts on the Ryzen 9 3900x, as this is your current CPU. I'm thinking of upgrading to that CPU in the not too distant future :)
Greetings from Austria ;)
Hey Biffa,
Thanks for checking out the city. Yeah I'm totally new playing this. :)
I am a bit confused though. I mean when you played my map you had like 7% traffic to start, yet when I open the exact same map that I shared to you I have roughly 64-65% traffic. I can't help but wonder if something didn't get transferred over? My issue I was having was that the city magically started losing money and people. For the most part my city had been pretty profitable until now.
Also in my defense I don't have any of the mod/dlc mass transit etc so I couldn't build many of those roads you put in. My game has very limited highway types...etc. So that's pretty much why I used 6 lanes for the roundabout (not many choices in the roundabout mod I have) which also puzzles me since I had understood the roundabout mod was supposed to setup the lane rules automatically with traffic manager.
As I am new I am now also wondering how I can access the map you changed? I do not see anything updated on the share for example.
Cheers!
Dear biffa, I think you should do some more vanilla cities.
