@9:40 if you set the tress to different styles you can select different alder trees so they can be at different growth stages instead of all of the farms being at the same growth stage.
Nice idea!
Was thinking the same thing. Would be interesting and mix things up a bit.
"Alder Arboretum" could be a great name for that area. Also, on tree farms, you'd have trees growing in yearly batches. Like crop rotation, so have one section with saplings, one as slightly older, and keep doing this taller and taller.
If you just grow a huge batch of sapling, you'd be awaiting a good four\five years for a tree to big enough for use. If that makes sense. :)
"The Arborteaum"
If we use Adder instead of Alder, we would also have the snake reference checked.
@@kaltaron1284 "Adder's Arborteaum" perhaps?! Adder perhaps being the name of the family that started/owns the farms.
I REALLY wish I could tag more than one person and it would work!
@@DeanShirley818 Since I took your name and stuck it with the other persons idea I should tag you as well!
@@JacksonOwex Sounds perfect.
No idea on the tagging though.
Biffa I think you should change the road you used in the forestry area to something without a median! It will probably cause heaps of traffic problems in the future with trucks not being able to cross the road.
Also you should add a post office into Snakus Square! Those poor people have to travel ages to get the post lol
It's also has very narrow lanes, which i don't like especially in industrial areas. All those big trucks just bumping their wheels up against/over the median.
Different themes will be awsome. Maybe so with some building packs, like Japan, 20th Century Modern, the medieval hoodhouses you've used in Blightea, not to mention the true skyscrapers that are dropping now. There's also some amazing Arab stuff on the workshop. So many themes, so little time to build with them all.
Once the city had grown larger, Biffa you need to add the ship building unique factory. There just so much nice bay area, there needs to be a ocean side industrial port district eventually.
Hey biffa for your forestry would it look good if you changed one of your plantations to cedar but then use Bob to change the cedar trees to bigger alder trees? Then it would look like different stages of growth.
I WAS beaten to it! Tree farms always have areas that are at different growth stages.
I wish the game had a way of handling a few specific companies that feel more realistic than the current broad industries. Maybe when you meet certain requirements, you get notices that different companies (say this Mercury delivery company in this example) who want to open a branch office in your city. You then place a location for them that they pay for instead of you (treated like you are issuing a permit instead of building it for them) and they run their business there. You get tax income instead of direct income, and it's more cooperative as opposed to the existing state-owned monopolies already in the game. The better they do in your city, the more they upgrade, request new storefronts in different areas, request to build specialized facilities (such as a sorting center for Mercury) maybe with ship/rail/air access depending on the company, and finally a unique worldwide HQ. Each could have different benefits, and could even add some events that would give some cost/benefit decisions.
Hey Biffa! I think what happened around the 25:00 mark is that you’re using the decals that are meant to be used with either Parking Lot Roads or BIG’s Parking Lots. BIG’s comes with a clipping remover for removing the clipping when you want to use them outside the roads. You could also try to turn on prop snapping and raising the parking lot decal over the concrete brush? Maybe that helps.
I love your content and have applied so much of stuff I learned from you on my cities! Big cheers from Brazil!
48:36 it would be really cool to change some of that parking lot to be more like a truck stop instead. With some truck props and such. I think that would make the industrial area feel just that bit more alive.
Needs a hotdog stand :)
With the Thomas reference, I feel obliged to let you know there's actually a really good Thomas the Tank Engine asset for Cities Skylines to add Thomas with Annie and Clarabel to the available passenger trains, either with the TV style face or with a regular smoke box. I think you should add the asset to your city, never address it, and see what happens when Thomas randomly shows up in the background.
aww Biffa don't delete the trees under your plantations. they affect the "forest area" resource so now the plantations may be producing less than optimal.
could remove the trees from the plantation asset using BOB. then only show handplaced trees only
fun fact you can bob away all the trees from the tree plantation but itll still function as a tree plantation. then you can make scenes and add a variety of trees
@31:54 You've got two Post spawn points because one is set to "spawn" and one is set to "unspawn". You can set the first to do both, and delete the second point. You can also just align both of them, as you did, but my OCD thinks the first way is "cleaner"! 🙂
I was just going to say the same thing. I like to use different entrances for spawning and despawning when the building has multiple loading bays.
I know you're not there yet but the episode where you add an airport and name your airline Biffalo Wings is gonna make my whole year 😛
Vermont Woodlands could become the Vermont Teambers. I really like Vermont because it means Green Mountain.
I can respect a Furniture and Paper factory, but an island county ABSOLUTELY needs a Lemonade factory. Once you install a designated beach destination that will be the industry of choice!
Nice video!
I love how you go with the shape of the land, but somehow make it all fit snugly.
I'd probably need some grand design well in advance, to fit in everything I want and not run into problems in the future.
One idea I had from this video is to turn a sloped country into a nice series of terrace "flat" zones with transition zones in between. Like you can have sunken or elevated roads and railways ideal for crossing under and over each other, these transition zones have different heights naturally. So you can have a railway (like a sunken one) on the lower height as the lower collector boundary road and have an artery "high" way on the higher side of the zone. There will be lots of nice looking places where these routes can pass over and under each other.
These transition zone will be irregular and too messy for structured building, but ideal for parks and service buildings with great accessibility from both sides. Lots of trees are also very smart/realistic on slopes as they keep the ground together and prevent the mudslides that deforestation often causes. So the biggest of these zones could be forestry industry just like in this video.
Hi Biffa, could you change the assets in the cargo train station from containers to wooden logs? That would match the forestry aesthetic really well!
Biffa's ideal landscaping = NO GRASS. ANYWHERE. 😝 Love how this city is turning out, though!
@31:44 are the two different spawn points being used to 'receive' one type of mail truck, and 'dispatch' the other? Regardless, it looks like that asset has doors on both sides, more or less opposite each other, so maybe set one of the spawns to the other side of the building? If they're being used as a send/receive on the separate points, you could maybe have it set so it appears as though the depot has a 'drive-thru' set up - they come in one side, drive out the other.
Yes, if you look one is a 'spawn' point and the other is an 'unspawn' point (the buttons on the right of the dialog box) so that's equivalent to dispatch & receiving as you said. 👍
The two span points for post in the sorting facility allow you to have inter-city trucks (the bigger ones you picked) and the ones that deliver to the various post offices (the smaller ones you picked) to spawn at different locations at the building. I bet the post offices have the same option. You could pick the smallest trucks to be the post vehicles for just in town delivery/pickup.
Biffa a mountain logging cabin would look awesome. Also maybe some logging equipment around it and some logs,around cargo terminal also.
Ever since you named the farming empire, all I can see is the Millennium Falcon where your highway curves around your city
What you did was: 1) draw a curvy road respecting the topography; 2) place your fields and buildings; 3) modify the terrain to fit your needs. I believe that any farmer or ag company would:: 1) flatten the plat; 2) build straight roads; 3) place their fields and buildings; 4) make lots more money for having been so effiicient from the outset.
Hello Biffa! If I may be so bold to give a suggestion? Would it be interesting to try to find a map that has been made as difficult as possible, for example tiny mountaneous islands far apart, where you have to reach population goals using the soil available to expand the islands to fit the people in. That could be a challenging mini series when you have the time.
I think you should take advantage of the three different types of forestry trees to have three different ages of tree. Leave one as the 5m trees, but then set the other two to be some of the taller trees, and make it look like different sections were planted at different times.
In Canada, and I assume in the US as well, the post office is often one of the largest city-centre buildings in large towns or small cities. They're often used by multiple federal government agencies as a single service point. It's too bad that there isn't a central post office asset.
Love the postal trucks. I'd recommend moving the spawn points on all the industry buildings so that trucks pull completely off the road. I've found that when I do that in my industry areas, the traffic doesn't get blocked by giant trucks turning into the building but staying on the road. Another great episode, as always!
>>>NOTE
I like super duper long episodes like this one^^
Your normal length episodes are done way too fast, so maybe try these longer ones for a while. See how popular they are^^
I think some of it is also the over-editing. I like listening and watching Biffa hemm and haw about fixing little things instead of just zipping through.
3:33 You could use BOB to set probability of spawning lower and divide the 100% between tree types
*Curves the road back and forth to ease the climb
*Sets the elevation of the whole curving road to the same level
Oh, Biffa :D
Biffa, you keep on being one of my longest subscribed content creator’s, still keep me interested after many many years. Good job mate
For the post office on the corner, with the little partking lot behind it, I think you should line that path with the same bushes that are in front of the building that is next to the path.
For your england based map, you should have a look at the magic roundabout in Swindon .... it will blow your mind
he rebuilt it 3 years ago ;)
Brilliant improvement to that residential area... It looked awful before with houses just spawning randomly and loads of empty space. Now it looks like a proper little neighbourhood (albeit very American!)
Liking how this is developing. It's got real New Tealand vibes and I think you'll suprise yourself with how much you've come on as a city builder since then :-)
Thankyou 😁
Should do a luxury island…all super high end houses, shops, and so on…
Hi Biffa. To get the houses to upgrade because of the post offices you need to look at the green roads not the colour of the houses. The green roads show the mood boost. I think you need one near the farming area and also the businesses need a post office near the forestry and fishing.
Biffa you can add some mercury props to the regular post office using bob and use them as well so that we get some variety
leaning hard into the title/thumbnail game :P
As long as it is Biffa and Cities Skylines - I'll watch, no extra prompting required!
It's the best way to get views on YT. Bad thumbs and titles are your enemy as a content creator. Not saying I've got it nailed, but working on it as much as I can! :-)
The small alder trees look like a Christmas tree farm. Very festive for the holiday season.
Aborter favorite in the game. The Mercury post offices. I have them everywhere in my city🤣🤣 but hope you soon reach Big city so you can buy another tile and get another way out of the city.
Given how many different Alder tree types were explored in the video my name suggestion for your forestry industry has to be ‘Ye Alder Tree Company’ with the slogan ‘The alder the better’.
Tree Anarchy (I think) seems to have a weird bug where it changes the scale of trees when you first select them from the palette; hence the tiny Alder. If you select it again it scales it properly.
If you switch the trees to a different type then go into Bob you could change the tree to an alder that was bigger that way you could have mature trees as well as new trees.
The more I watch this serie, the more I'm thinking this downtown could have been a Millenium Falcon shape 😅
"let's make sure we follow the terrain" - literally 2min later: "perfect, we can just wall that up, let's move on" 😅👌
19:20 I like how Biffa feels sorry about this lorry driver, and they just throw it back in his face. BTW - why does the voice make me think of Cartman from South Park? 😆
Would an idea for one island be a (super) futuristic theme, with a lot of different heights and future looking park's and monuments. It would be like adding a small town in real life to show off the future potential
Please upgrade those dirt roads in the residential section!
please can you build a monorail line and a cabelcar line
26:18 the parking spaces are on the wrog side of the road... if you look closely you'll see wheel tracks
Honestly the forestry trucks and that should handle steep muddy roads as they do in real life
9:15 It would add some extra visual interest to change the trees so that each grove/farm had a different tree height. It would give the appearance of deliberate expansion over time instead of everything being planted all at once.
I think the difference themes across islands is a good idea... it will kind of be like historically they're were all separate entities/provinces that have since united into one city/nation.
29:11. The planter was too big and blocked the fire escape but maybe some bollards between the buildings, in line with hedge, to stop cars driving across the pavement between the carparks.
34:58 Use the Mercury Hino Heavy for Sorted Mail Transfer and the Mercury Freightliner B-Double for Intercity Transfer.
Woo Hoo! 🎉
I think your issue with placing parking spaces is that you are placing on grass. Try putting down asphalt and then parking spaces.
I know it's not a tea pun, but I think you should call that industry area Fish and Wood Chips because of the fishing and forestry industries there 😉 😄
Last year I stopped playing CS to move on to other games and ended up dropping off watching your videos. Last week, I saw you in my subscriptions and had to check in on you again. It's cool to seen how much you've grown in your artistry both in the designing of your cities and the production of the videos! I've enjoyed watching your new uploads even though I haven't pick the game back up again 😋
Thanks for reading and have a good weekend!
Hey Biffa, why you keep the rural road ?
Would changing these rural roads in town increase the land value?
Not sure if others have said(or will also say) this but maybe you could have a couple different heights for your farms so they aren't all the same.
It might be good to upgrade the center town roads so mail trucks can pick up faster.
Lafayettea looks so nice now..!
the typ of houses on an island (like manhattan) can be 2 sided, the highrise office cluster, but realy realy fill it up, almost overdo it, and right next to it, the 19 century original city build, old appartment buildings like in the serie friends
Really wish someone like Biffa ou Biffa himself played on console, at least one city, and grew it up to a metropolis. On console, it's really difficult to use the PC techniques.
I played console CS for 5 minutes once 🤣
that's a nicely integrated forestry, it so often looks like a lump of trees dumped.
how about intersection marking tool to put a fence both sides of the railway, so the lumberjacks don't kill themselves?
The Thomas the tank engine skit made me eject my tea from my nose 😂
As I was watching about half way through the video, I noticed that raised train track over the rocky cliff face. I don't know why but I think it'd be interesting to build up train line that dead ends at a cliff and beneath there, or around the whole area, make a park for like a memorial for some sort of train crash. It was just one of those little things that popped into my head that might be seen in some random town
Hey Biffa, I wonder if the dirt roads affect the happiness of the residents of the city?
they do
very convenient how the trucks smash through the glass and into the entrance. not sure why you moved it :D
Biffa u probably need a highway exit interchange because there is only one entrance and exit to the city
You made the Thomas the Tank engine joke but there actually are a bunch of those assets in the workshop. I've seen at least 4 or 5 different characters from that show as train assets you can get.
Like all the new buildings and vehicles! Looks lovely and the neighborhood looks better a bit more full. Always enjoy your series!
Epic, mate. Didn't even realise it was a longer episode, gripped me for the whole 50 minutes!
Hey Biffa, when you did the parking for the Post building, you place the parking stalls on the wrong side of the road. I've noticed with that certain road the spaces go on the side with the lights.
🤙☕
The reason there were two spawn points for post at the distribution center is because one was marked spawn and one was marked despawn. Not sure why, but the default seems to want the trucks to appear and disappear at different points.
i think the Train track behind the factories would look super good as a bridge going around the mountain where it is too steep for a normal track
or some cobble stone retaining wall. Maybe the arched bridge he used in blightea on the wold, half sunken in the cliff would be awesome.
Looking good! Getting better at tree spotting.
what brand of tea kermit is drinking ? legend or lipton ?
I just noticed that the main part of your city kind of looks like the Millennium Falcon
Famous last words: "I should stop fiddling with that..." ;)
Not sure when these videos were recorded or if you're referring to an issue that I'm not aware of, but realistic parking works with the Plazas and Promenades DLC walkable areas again.
These McMansions with no yards are looking a little dystopian. Maybe a row of townhouses if you want to pack more low-rise houses in an area?
Hi Biffa, love your style. Just wanted to say the island where you built Vermont Woodlands is a section of the map developed by E6GSY, not SNAKUS. I would suggest "EGGsquisaTea Lumber"
That train didn't derail - the rail de-trained!
45:10 When you deleted the underlying trees, did it kill the production of from the Tree Plantations?
With removing the trees underneath the plantations won't it cut into the production of the fields?
For your tree industrial air instead of Vermont Woodland perhaps Vernon Woodlend this way it sounds more British and fancy like who am I kidding I'm from the south I want to know what I'm talking about
Loving Biffalo Countea! It's got a really nice feel to it... We love a long episode too. Plenty achieved in this one and love the new mods and Mercury stuff. Will you donate if I set up a just giving page to get a gaming pc so I can have the steam version instead of PS4? A worthwhile cause, wouldn't you agree? :D
The forestry area is probably Alder Lake.
probably one of the funniest jokes I've seen in a while (if you're referring to the heat from forest fires)
@@ExperiencersInternational I was wondering how to include Inteal into the joke, but then thought otherwise.
@@SiqueScarface you ought to of put that it's probably Ada Lovelace as well lol
make a mid evil island and there is a wall around the entire thing
Remember Factories can be outside the zone
Biffa every time you zoom out I just see the Millennium Falcon
The editing in the first 90 seconds *mwah*
love the thomas the tank bit, surely there’s an asset for that you can add
"Mommy, why does the letter from grandma smell like fish?" 😄
Different island different theme sounds like interesting idea.
Thanks for the entertainment :-)
could we have an "Anaconda Drive" somewhere? and maybe a "Boa Hiking Trail"?
Anyone else watching him putting a train cargo next to a storage with junctions close together and waiting for the traffic to explode? lol
Do you have to get to a certain level to introduce disaster preparations to the city? Might be worth looking into before the city gets too much larger (assuming you have them turned on, I suppose)
I have them off, I don't find the constant repairing fun 👍
@@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines makes sense!
Is it just me, or does the populated area of Biffalo Countea look like the Millennium Falcon?
