Love the stadium! When you get to adding train stations, historically in old industrial towns like Sheffield and Leeds, the terrace houses will have a very small platform amongst them and an alley that leads through the houses to the stadium!
Leeds doesn’t have a train station near unfortunately but it is surrounded by terraces and there’s a massive park and ride behind it for busses which would be great for match day and also helps residents around the stadium get to work in the city centre
@ I know. Leeds station is a fair walk over Kirkstall road and through to Elland Road. Currently the motorway has replaced most of the old alleys and paths past the canal to the stadium. My point being a lot of stadiums usually have a platform or station located within walking distance.
@PerfectAlibi1 a large public garden or area of land used for recreation. And if you go deeper into the orgins... Parc which is old French for heath land and if we go deeper Parruk is West Germanic means enclosed land. Old English( Anglo saxon) + Middle English( Anglo Norman) shaped the English language .... Hope that helped 😂
That could be there logo/emblem but UK football teams aren't named after things like NFL franchises are. The team/club is almost always named after the place they are located with either united, athletic or nothing as a suffix.
I should be at church today but I'm still not well with a cold that might be going on my chest, so what a better way to recover by putting the kettle on to watch Biffa ☕️
Hope you don't mind me providing some more names, all from various British baked treats: Madeira Crescent; Bakewell Drive; Parkin Park; Dundee Hills; Simnel Close; Flapjack Shores; Black Forest Woods; Victoria Hill; Cupcake Meadows; Drizzle River; Cheesecake Rise.
☕️🫖☕️ The new landfill's pollution circle includes the water and electricity district. Polluted water in the future if you're not careful. Kettlewick is looking good!
That circle is not the pollution circle, it's the circle in which you can draw a landfill. It does pollute, but not that large, you'll have to look at ground pollution info view to see how far it spreads. But also, water towers do not get polluted I believe like ground water pump stations. I might be wrong on that though, would be interesting to test.
Innkeeping with the 'sweet street names' you could have a street called 'Penny Mix Lane' witch is obviously iconic to Britain as its nods to the Beatles Penny Lane. Looking Forward to the next Video
To not confuse anyone they named it soccer field, even though everyone calls it football exept usa. Because everyone knows that soccer means football, but football can mean either football or american football.
Actually, even the Brits mainly (or interchangably) called it soccer until not too long ago, namely around 1980. So, historically speaking, the Americans are not 'wrong', just a bit more traditional by using the popular term soccer derived from association football to make it distinguishable from other forms of football. And concerning continental Europeans or the rest of the world, most of them really call it Football (or their native language's equivalent) since the beginning.
I've loving this series (especially as I'm British). It feels like the good old days are back, with a game that basically actually works. One thing I've noticed that isn't that realistic in your town right now is that IRL, there would probably be way more farms surrounding it. In fact probably the whole map would be covered with farms or farmland. As the town expands, they would gradually buy up farmland and turn it into housing. I wish the game was a bit more realistic when it comes to farms. Real farms are made up of multiple fields, seperated by hedges, lines or trees or fences, and often they have a farm house, barns and silos. It would be nice if the game gave us a bit more flexibility with farm layouts.
Love to see it! It's a rare cold day in the Australian summer here, and I'm huddled down in a beanie and blanket with a warm cup of tea watching the Kettlewick snow
Been stuck inside all weekend with a horrible winter lurgy plus storm Darragh battering away at the house so these vids are really helping! I love the actual super Britishness of this series, it's actually feeling like something that's not just some distant alien American attempt at it, makes it feel much closer to home. However, just say pavements and crossings and motorways and stuff, please. I have to learn what "varsity" is to understand American telly so surely your American audience can make some accommodations too. Cheers! ☕️
In the US, they played College 'ball in a couple baseball stadiums this year. One was in Wrigley Field. Right across the 2 lane street, they have bleachers on the roofs of buildings. I am still tickled by seeing that. So cool to watch a game on top of a building.
Love the stadium in the neighborhood! And I think it was a great call to get rid of crossings for walking also!! People will cross no matter what in real life so I would think the game had that programmed also. Hope you are feeling better and that you had no storm damage! I still get PTSD when the wind is heavy here after Helene went thru. We are still considered a disaster area. Wind can do a lot of damage, same as water!
The crossing issue is something ive brought up on the channel before, the 2 junctions either side of the crossing are too close together to allow it, this range i suggest/ed needs to be reduced. Basically the game picks a centre point between 2 nodes and bans crosswalks on the entire half length of road and the same when you click the other end so if 2 nodes/junctions are too close together ie a maximum section length then currently a crosswalk is impossible, Or even better let us just remove individual crosswalks rather than banning the length of road.
Biffa, I hate to break it to you, but those people in the football field weren't looking for new homes to live in. They were looking for YOU. YOU ruthlessly displaced them, Biffa... ⚽️ 😆
I've only just realised that both you and Conflict Nerd are using the same map for your newest cities. It just shows how different two creators can be.
As with a lot of people, New Tealand was imo your best city, it had everything 🇳🇿. But for some reason, I have a feeling that this could rival it. I think the next on the list needs to be a out of town retail park. And canary wharf would be some good inspiration for the eventual big city, get some manmade water ways.
Heard this mentioned a few times. You don't need those alleys with sidewalk for cims to walk in them. They can walk on the shoulder of the regular alley. 😅 Also your garbage landfill didn't put down its correct texture because you placed it on top of the grass texture. Last thing about the garbage, you can't handle all the garbage if you look at the stats again. You'll see you're in the red. Might have to slightly bump up the budget.
Sticking with my thoughts of the river being called "The Boil" for Kettlewick-on-the-Boil, I think an estate near the river should be called "Glacier Bank" as in Fox's Glacier Boiled Sweets!
You should do a gated estate with circle roads and mansions (like the park estate in Nottingham) - could call it Maynards Circus etc. Excited to see if you make a city centre with some skyscrapers in the future.
Aero View, after the green peppermint-filled chocolate. Or perhaps Aerofield, if you build an airport, to give the name choice some cheekiness. Chocolate fingers - after building a row of chocolate-coloured thin low rent residential skyscrapers.
It's fun watching Kettlewick evolve. :) I am a little concerned, though, that you've placed the landfill/garbage dump - which will pollute the ground around it - so close to the towers that are gathering up your drinking water.... 🥴 You might want to keep an eye on that, just to be safe. 🤞
I just recently watched the only pedestrians city video again and had an idea about how one could fix the problem with car illegally entering the city, if you put a pedestrian path cars literally can’t drive over them
Hi Biffa loving the british build you are doing, also I'm from Oxfordshire so if you ever put any universities in maybe give Oxford a look for inspiration, as it has the oldest University in the English speaking world established around 1096, its also known as the City of Dreaming Spires, and has Plant Oxford at Cowley where the Mini is built, anyway looking forward to the next episode.
I know some small Western Australian country towns that have anywhere from 1-4 decent sized pubs within the township. So Kettlewick needs a healthy smattering Biff!
I know this was a feature in CS1 im not sure about CS2 but you should colour the post vans Red! That would make them look like the royal mail vans we have here in the UK!
@Biffa: “If you are enjoying this series, a thumbs up would be greatly appreciated” Me: 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 Also me: as someone who doesn’t drink tea or coffee, here’s a “hot chocolate” emoji for you 🥵🍫
I'm quite sad that in these past ten or so years most games require at least a hundred mods and assets to make the games enjoyable and playable. I missed those days when we just install and play without mods, just vanilla.
The biggest thing I see people complain about, and my same complaints are "Why is all of the industrial zoning ALLLLL smokestacks?" I'd love industry without smokestacks. it's not realistic to have acres upon acres of smokestacks.
the one thing that bugs me in the winter part is vehicles driving around with snow on them. If the game knows they are moving, make those vehicles snow free. Great video though
I would assume that crossing a road using a crosswalk is more comfortable then crossing it without. So people would walk more if you have a reasonable amount of crosswalks.
I know you want English biscuits for the town names but is there any chance we could get Australias most famous tea biscuit the Tim Tam added to the list, it would make every Aussie viewers day :)
Fire stations deal with disaster response not police Biffa unless I am WAY off base and something has changed in CS2, which is totally possible I know but it was always fire before.
“Crosswalk” Biffa?! You of course mean “zebra crossing” 😂👍🏻
Oh yes!
Oh! Does crosswalk refer specifically to zebra crossings? I assumed it was the pedestrian phase of puffin crossings.
How many zebras doed the UK have that they need their own crosswalk?!?!
@@TazPessle Yes, and all vehicles must stop if a pedestrian is crossing on one
@@transport_dude sounds dangerous. Here pedestrians should wait for vehicles to stop. But vehicles have to stop if a pedestrian is waiting.

And no Christmas gifts for the whole industry!
We need a more complete football stadium. Like the mid-level ones from CS1.
And call it Irn Bru Park as the stadium name please.
Why call a football field a park when it's a grassy field? 😅
@PerfectAlibi1 a large public garden or area of land used for recreation. And if you go deeper into the orgins...

how about calling the football team the jammie dodgers because there that lucky at dodging relegation

Loved the Football Field in amongst the housing. Should rename Kettlewick FC to Cherry Bakewell FC, as it is on Cherry Street!
Biffa it's called football, only Americans call it soccer.
Unless you migrated to America and fully integrated there? 😅
Except I think the game called it a soccer field. And isn't it developed in Europe?
@@LiqdPT
Just playing nicely towards the American buyers...
To not confuse anyone they named it soccer field, even though everyone calls it football exept usa.
Because everyone knows that soccer means football, but football can mean either football or american football.
@zilkyy3111 or australian football or one of several other footballs

As someone who grew up in York, I would I’ve to see a KitKat Crescent football ground at some point (the old York ground) ☕️🫖
@EddB33 this is a superb idea. Was one of my favourite grounds to visit.
Love to see it! It's a rare cold day in the Australian summer here, and I'm huddled down in a beanie and blanket with a warm cup of tea watching the Kettlewick snow
Kettlewick FC is a perfectly good name but it would be cute to call the football stadium something like Dunkin Park, as it's in Hobnob Heights.
I'd be worried if they were the Rich Tea FC, they would collapse under any temperature.
😅
Let's hope they don't play in yellow otherwise they might get called the Lemon Puffs! Slightly sharp and dissolve at the drop of a hat.
Been stuck inside all weekend with a horrible winter lurgy plus storm Darragh battering away at the house so these vids are really helping!

Thankyou. I'll be good, this is much sturdier 👍😁
I love the fact that I get to watch along with this new series. I never really got to do that with the other series👍

Need more speed cameras, pot holes, speed bumps, U/LEZ, empty bike lanes

“Love-Heart Lane” / “Swizzle Fields” / “Teadunk County”
Love love love the football stadium amongst the terrace houses. Perfect job
Oh I looove this series!! Watching it with some Yorkshire Gold Tea makes it even nicer! Keep it up Biffa! 🫖🍵
You need to add a Vicarage next to the church for the Vicar and his wife to live in. With a lovely garden for garden parties.
In the uk we have roundabouts with no centre just road markings, i think those would be good for tiny junctions
They would, but we don't have them yet 🤷♂️
The crossing issue is something ive brought up on the channel before, the 2 junctions either side of the crossing are too close together to allow it, this range i suggest/ed needs to be reduced.

You can fit one more parking area by the football field if you just move the current down a bit to the crossing. More parking to the people!

Aero View, after the green peppermint-filled chocolate. Or perhaps Aerofield, if you build an airport, to give the name choice some cheekiness.
Chocolate fingers - after building a row of chocolate-coloured thin low rent residential skyscrapers.

😂😂 Everytime I see a kettlewick episode I end up with the theme to coronation street playing in my head😂😂😂😂
😅
Wow, your city looks amazing! I'm patiently awaiting the console version so I can create something similar to this.
The stadium could be called Kit Kat Crescent just like the old York City ground in the 90s!
The snow on the cars are cool and all but It’s crazy that they didn’t just make cars in motion have cleared windshields! Everyone’s driving blind!
How about removing the snow from a couple of roof tops on each estate…… ya know, for realism. IYKYK
Windshields of cars that are moving should really be made snow-free somehow, seems like such a small little fix.
Some great drivers in Kettlewick....didn't anyone think to clear their windscreens?? 😂
Hi biffa loved the video as usual on the weekend
Glad you enjoyed 😁
