"Mayor, the traffic to the new crematorium is causing massive traffic jams!" "Oh my giddy aunt, I'll get right on rebuilding that whole part of the city!"
I was about to say this! I've had a similar issue in my city, then I found out it was because I used the protected lanes EVERYWHERE lol (both the 2 lanes and the 4 lanes ones) I changed the streets just around those buildings (the police and firemen too) and everything is working again :) (after I lost 20k population lol)
somebody had pointed out the same thing on past videos but it looks like Biffa didn't read it. adding more comments and likes so this makes it to the top.
Biffs, I noticed the hospital issue a few episodes ago. It has protected bike lanes on the same side of the road as the hospital, making it impossible for ambulances to get out. I hope this helps.
~3:50 "Why do they instantly take this road" because you created the intersection, made it dedicated turning lanes and then they were in the lane where they can only turn left, that's why they had to take it once you resumed the simulation.
This sounds like my local council! "We've changed the road layout but we're not going to tell you that until you're already stuck in the wrong lane..."
Not only that, but I think the game only recalculates the travel path if the changes make the current path impossible. In this case they could simply take a left turn, make a u-turn at the end and then get back out again... no need to recalculate.
Biffa last Teaport Episode: Lets leave the university open bc its far enough away Biffa this episode: Yeah lets delete the university and build our other university over it
Maybe you could build one of those massive buildings where the other universities where: the medical or the law or the technical thingy? They won't fit in your main zone, maybe they do there?
“Round the outside, round the outside, round the outside. Chik chik wah! 😂 Everytime biffa says Round the outside I have been saying this! So happy for him to now edit it in!!!
you're also still feeding your people wastewater, that might be a tad related to all the "noise" death ;) unlike what your mod made you think, that "water utility area" you made an episode or two ago, that's eco inland treatment plants (which pollute the ground) and water towers (which pick up ground pollution) right next to each other. so with a few episodes delay to let the pollution build up you've essentially connected their toilets back to their taps. learned that mechanic the very hard way, and it also refused to tell me the real cause, probably because of that mod claiming otherwise. i think the issue is they always pollute, just extremely little, but that's still enough for the game to accumulate a sickness value over time
I liked the look back at a young, naïve Mayor Biffa. I often wondered if you looked back at your early cities and are like "Whaaaaaaaat(you heard it in Biffa's voice don't lie) was I thinking?" Like your lane mathematics went from adding lanes before a highway exit to taking away lanes after to get turning lanes. You embraced timed traffic lights over roundabouts in certain instances. It's interesting having seen your game play evolve. I enjoy listening to walk through your process. Thanks for making this channel and I hope you make many more videos.
Biffa: "I need more tea, obviously..." Me: *Pauses video, goes and gets a laaaaarge cup of tea* Yup, really happened. Now I can get the strawberry experience with my ceylon pekoe + earl gray mix
I always connect my intercity trains to just one single platform in the multi platform station while the others can connect to each other. Makes things a whole lot more easier
Biffa: "I need to find the shortcut key for collision haven't I?" Also Biffa: "The shortcut for collision is Alt-C. Collision is on, collision is off, collision is on, collision is off. And now I'm never going to remember that." And then Biffa never remembered collision for the rest of the video. :-p
Biffa, you may have a mod that makes Cims join your city in different life stages. And you may even have the retirement home extending Cims lves, but you will get to a point where so many Cims who joined in the same age group, you WILL get a deathwave occasionally. XD
the spawning of service vehicles can be halted by the number of cars allover it has nothing to do with having despawn off btw. since it does not help reducing the number of car rides turning it on, so you need to reduce your allover car rides always a good help there are more train stations etc. especially forcing the use of public transport at stadiums/festival areas can prevent events like this to happen since the hospitals vehicles etc. can spawn.
How do you get your city to look so smooth and aesthetically pleasing? Is it the Ultimate Eyecandy Mod? Especially the vehicles, they are gliding so smoothly
3:00 Biffa : *fixes the train knot's curvature problem* still Biffa : *forgets to fix the tunnel incline problem, where the tunnel ramp's so darn steep even a translohr couldn't make it irl* Me : *disappoint intensifies*
Biffa should really connect the last road from the HW roundabout junction near Tea Cozy Heights to the road that is heading to the part of the city that is next to the mountains [at 17:04]. That small connection will help reduce the traffic on the other roads from that area, and it can be done with a few road segments!
Biffa, the man who has Resize It! and doesn't use it to resize the selection panels. It can help you see more items at once, making it easier to see what you can choose (while also reducing how much you have to scroll). I use that mod and usually have it set to 2x13
I use Traffic Manager to control train routing, In the same way that certain vehicle types can be banned from certain sections of road, passenger or cargo trains can be barred from certain sections of rail which can relieve rail congestion. For example you can ban cargo from passing through multi-platform stations and re-route these trains via bypass or underpass lines. Another thing I do is only allow intercity trains to call at stations towards the edge of the city, thus requiring passengers to transfer onto you defined rail network. One more way Traffic Manager can come in useful regarding trains is using lane connectors to define the paths of intercity trains at stations they do serve.
'Mayor, people die because of the noise, we need to do something about it'. 'Don't worry, let's just build a better crematorium so we can remove them faster' hahahaha.
I mean, I will say this - it makes some sense to stick the eldercare under the highway. Not in a cruel "they're gonna die anyway" kind of way, but because it's natural for hearing to fail as we get older. The old folks are probably less bothered by the noise from the highway than the younger people in surrounding buildings are. A whole bunch of them will in fact have the option of "muting" the world in that they could just turn their hearing aids off when things get too loud.
What's funny is that you went back to your first city to fix it and I had been doing that over the last week. Just revisiting old cities and trying to correct some of the issues without really changing the city.
Tyler went to the park to meet the wife and Kids :-) the park needs a Ferris wheel! like the London Eye how about since the park is shaped like a curve handle park or tea-handle park?
The cars turns in to the dead end road because you force them with putting dedicated turning lanes when they already passed the last node before then junction.
Great episode Biffa! Your annexed university districts can be disconnected areas and can stay in one university- incase you want to tidy up your districts 😉 And being that I’m from Toronto Canada my amusement park name suggestion is “Tea-Dot”
Makes unnecessarily wiggly path that buildings won't fit on. Uses Anarchy (with a setting he'll forget is on) and Move It to fit buildings in. Then uses Move It to straighten out the path (which then also puts trees in the path that you then have to move). Maybe just make the path straight to begin with? So much extra work...
Ok the gate says Chirpyland, which makes me think of birds. The Chinese word for oolong tea is "wulong", "wu" means crow/raven. So we coould call it "Wulong Amusement Park"
03:00 Suggestion Last step: Pick the trails with MoveIt (in the middle) and push them to the center point. They should look like one big curve (for max speed). Edit: Optional, you can give the connection points with NoteManager a bit more space.
name idea: Tea Party amusement park also love the videos! started playing this because you made it look so enjoying. so far it exceeds expectations (-:
Biffa got about 9 mins into video and noticed you have not yet learnt easy way to remove trees that impact roads (or other stuff) that have been left behind when using anarchy mods. Simply set anarchy mod back to normal operation, select move it mod, grab an offending tree and use it as a brush over affected area ALL offending objects are removed done!
Clip the haunted house asset into that burnt out cabin on the second islet using move it! It'll look like that cabin IS the haunted house, civs will go in like normal but that useless asset can stay for story purposes.
@@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines haunted house is part of the amusement park set you used in this video. Don't know if you ever tried before but using the move it mod on assets to put one inside the other won't destroy the other. Procedural Objects is better for that stuff, but it CAN be done with move it.
You said in the last video that the 4-way rail interchange was unrealistic, and you are right, but there really is some quite interesting rail spaghetti around the world. Take a look at these coordinates in Amsterdam 52.323530,4.937448 Perhaps you could replace the rail interchange with something like that?
you should add one of those multi level parking lots next to the stadium, so it gives people time to walk to the park station and leave, maybe that will reduce the traffic in that area
I believe the problem with the hospital not sending ambulances, is the modded roads with bike paths and parking..It's not connecting to the hospital....Change a little section to one from vanilla type just in front of the hospital and see what happens
Does anyone else expect a scooby doo Styled haunting to the amusement park? A ghost comes out of those burned down houses to try and bankrupt the park. Hahaha “would have gotten away with it if it wasn’t for those gosh darn kids” :) hahaha

Keep up the great videos dude!
1:45 you could have the trains branch off later and go straight into a platform dedicated only to intercity trains.
You just build "FANTEASY ISLANDS" nice!
Yes. This is the best one. I second this!!

Fantasteac islands
Or ParTEA Islands
The protected bike lane roads don't allow traffic to go through. Unless that was changed you'll have to ditch them.

Oh, yes, that's clever! :D

I tried to do this myself, but there's only like 8 official amusement park assets.
