I started playing Cities Skylines earlier this week and watching you plan your city is like watching Bob Ross. You're really good at making the city look and feel natural.
I currently have an 8 tile, 57k pop vanilla+QOL city running at 95% traffic with no traffic mods etc - because of the connectivity, zoning, districting and hierarchy lessons I learned from CPP over many months ... and now Phil is like ' hey Andy watch a one hour video where I make the entire city funnel through the middle of the map to get to a single highway connection' LOL I'm a loyal long-term viewer, why do you hate me :) ha. (joking ... but also crying)
@@AndyBestHP - yeah, when CPP was adding in the new interchange, I was all "Oh, right, so that'll get people bypassing the....why are you taking out the old one!?!" Ah, well - he did talk about it for a bit; I'm guessing that leaving the old interchange intact meant that no one would use the new one.
Just imagine you get word from the board of your university that they're going to 'fix' it, student body gets excited, see large teams of workmen coming in. All they do is remove of all the E's off the signs. Feels bad man.
Hey guys for anyone that is struggling with the Multi Platform Train: there is a know bug that it wont recieve any intercity trains. This is because after you build it, the game itself will assign randomly at which platform the intercity should arrive, so if you dont connect rails to the required platform you will never get any intercity train coming to your station. A quick walkaround is just connect every platform to the rail, turn on the traffic routes mode and select the station, you should see after a few mins to where the intercity wants to get. The required platform is random even in the same city, savegame. If you demolish it or move it you need to check it again! Note: you could also get 2 different required platforms for trains coming north and trains coming south. For example I had platform 4 for trains coming from north and 6 from south. CPP I love your Beginners series
I may be wrong and have missed it but I think the reason your new collector was so busy with traffic is because it was the only access to the city and the only access for industrial traffic too
@@CityPlannerPlays or you can make a dummy district at the exit point of the highway with a heavy traffic ban, which would move freight over to rail instead
I'm new here, and I've never been able to play this game because I didn't know how to the things together to create a realistic (or at least believable) city. Until now!! I'm building my city with you, and it's been an amazing experience so far!! Thanks!!
Cable cars and blimps are indeed pretty niche. Not something I'd thought I'd have to use but they have somehow become a really integral aspect of transit for one of my cities.
I've had that same experience - particularly with cable cars. I'd actually consider them less-niche - a few cities have them as major components of their transit systems (mostly in South America) and others have them as a supplemental form of transit (US and EU)
Nice build, but I have a few criticisms. 1) A state highway department would have kept the parclo interchange and made the access road a freeway with access ramps instead of the avenue midway along it. The way you have it now, *all* the industrial traffic has to go into the city and back out to or over the main highway. 2) Also a railroad or public transportation authority would have curved the tracks to avoid the metro tunnel that's already there. You missed an opportunity to eminent domain and redevelop a block wide swath behind Main Street toward the main highway. 3) And Main Street would not have been disconnected under any circumstances, except to replace it with a bridge.
1:02:43 I probably would have added 2 one way streets off the bottom side of the arterial - one off the intersection and heading to Myrtle Square/industrial area and under/over the highway (the right hand turn/short cut would ease industrial traffic through the city) -two off the kink in the road and heading straight down the hill into the road along the river (shortcut for tourists to the parks/entertainment areas) Otherwise great episode as per normal.
Me, an intellectual: “This update added fairies as a mass transport option?…” thinking Tinkerbell was dusting my Cims with fairy dust to get where they need to go. Embarrassed that it took like 3 occasions of you mentioning it before I finally realized
6:15 Dedicated turning lanes on highways ONLY work with TM:PE Dynamic lane selection! With vanilla AI only use lane mathematics on normal roads. With vanilla AI you'll mess up your lane use if you decrease the number of lanes on the highway because the rightmost lane is ALWAYS a dedicated turn lane (and the leftmost lane is always a dedicated turnlane if you have a left exit somewhere). Decreasing to a 2 lane highway makes the right lane only for cars taking the next offramp and everybody else is forced into the left lane. When you increase the lanes back to 3, the right one feeds into the right one and the left lane feeds into the other 2.
19:45 Personally I would've left just the connections of them heading on to the motorway (maybe redraw them to look better without the roundabouts). It means you're letting people leave the city without getting clogged up at other intersections in your city.
Your experience with the pre-built interchange in this video is why I never use pre-built interchanges. They always need so much customisation to fit your road network that it's easier to build a custom interchange most of the time.
I know I'm late now. But with the three way interchange, the residential area is now in between the highway and industry area, which you said (in a different video) is bad. I'm guessing this is fixed in the next one.
You need to figure out which platform the game will use to connect its intercity connection on the multiplatform station. Sometimes picking one lane might not result you to having tourist because the game picks which platform to go to
I love you're work its amazing! I was wondering if you have thought making an artic city i would love to see that. In the mean time keep up you're work I'm learing a lot from it.
How about making a scenic blimp path that covers Biffa Park, the Nature Reserve, the zoo & amusement park, and some of the waterfront? Also, could you please make a dedicated highway exit for your industrial area. That's been bugging me since you made the road crossing in part 6.
-anyone happen to know the specific song used for the city tours? i've been boppin along every time and would love to listen to it more 🤭- i remembered a site and ended up managing to answer my own question! 🤭 it's Cats Walking by Yomoti 🥳 also mass transit is by far one of my favorite dlc's. i love traffic management due to all the cross country road trips growing up 🤭
Loving the series! I have heard you say commercial is Affected by the noise pollution, but I thought they were a Source of it? They're colored red and that means they're a cause, right?
Wouldn't it be more realistic to redevelop part of the park in front of the large train station into an open-space area like a plaza where people can hang out and to have also some some transfer options to bus and tram? I am just thinking that around large train stations you have increased criminality (in European cities anyway) and having a dark park with scarce lighting directly in front of the station would add up to it?

Loving the series, but as someone who lives in a city where I don't need a car because the transit system goes everywhere and does so in a fast and efficient way, I would really not like to live in this city. It's just so car centric... Then again, I am aware that this is an inherent problem in C:S, and I hope that walkable cities become more of a possibility in a sequel.
did you mention the traffic manager mod? i would love this series to stay mod free, once you run out of vanilla + dlc you could start a new map, maybe on more challenging terrain, or snow, or with unlock all and plan a whole city before doing the zoning and see how it goes?
I don't understand why you would get rid of that highway connection? You are forcing all that traffic through your city, I am always trying to add more and more highway connections as I expand. My current build is around 80k and I have turned the single highway connection I started with into a beltway system with spurs that lead to my different industrial districts. The main city core currently has 6 interchanges relatively evenly distributed around the beltway. It has made my city flow although I have had to rework my arterial and collector routes a few times to get it to work.
Hello Mr. City planner, I love watching your videos and am a fan of your City planning skills, I am from India, Pune city and you may know that we are a developing country, after British oppression ended we were left with almost no money, poorly Planned cities and the rate of development has just kicked up last decade. I was curious how would you plan Indian cities from the ground up, I would love it watch it.
just out of curiosity, why is it that you put put the new interchange further back than the old one? it's always seemed like a majority of the traffic problems have been because of industrial traffic and commuter traffic trying to use the same roads. wouldn't it make more sense to leave the old interchange and simply add a new interchange where the overpass is?
small clarifications; in my mind, i would make the old overpass an interchange, and ban heavy traffic on the old interchange, separating the industrial and commuter traffic
Great question - Mostly because i wanted to add additional separation between this interchange and the next one. I'll be adding an interchange in between the two industrial areas and wanted the spacing to be better. I'll mention that in the next one!
One of two things - it'll stay vacant for a while (i've seen this happen with institutional lands (think churches, deathcare, healthcare, schools) or a property owner/developer will come in and request a rezoning and comprehensive plan amendment. It all depends on the parcel itself.
@@CityPlannerPlays where I live is basically a large food desert, the 25 year plan calls for pedestrian friendly development ( not amalgamating blocks to form parking lots , prioritizing busses and bikes over cars) this has resulted in no supermarkets and the loss of most restaurants which view parking lots as essential to their viability( one supermarket tried with a 2 block thing one being the supermarket and the next block being the parking lot but closed within 3 years , it had 3 different bus lines stopping in front of it also).We have had a number of new beer stores and pay day loans open in the commercially zoned areas as well as pawn shops. Some of what had been locally owned restaurants that closed are now fast food drive through with no seating (covid restrictions were hard on dine in ).I think we are about 13 years into the 25 year plan .
Shouldn't the new interchange have been a full 4-way interchange? The DOT forced all heavy industrial traffic through the heart of the city, which nobody (the city, the residents, or the truckers) would be happy about.
Purposely didn't do this to try to prevent industrial and residential traffic from clogging up the same interchange and having all of the traffic drive through the farm. An industrial interchange will come in the next one that should prevent the funneling. But I'll play around with the concept and potentially implement it in the next one!

Roads can be steeper than railways, main reason why roads get elevated if both are on the same floor.
There is no highway access to industrial zones.
