Kibitz, I believe cleaning up poop bay would also increase your cities attractiveness and increase your tourism. If all tourists see while walking along the water are floating turds, they will not be happy. Cheers.
in a future city, you should implement a bridge setup similar to that of Pittsburgh's fort pitt tunnel bridge. the over-water bridges are on top of one another and result in fast travel :)
That sounds cool, makes sense and I have seen the Fort Pitt and Duquesne bridges in real life but i don’t know if cs2 lets you build highways over highways.
I think you need to work on your lane maths, might help the merging problem, but honestly I've cant imagine playing cities without traffic manager, so I've been holding off for it's successor before really diving in. You also want to try and have exits before enterances to reduce weaving... that bypass lane is the right idea.
@@rccookie6202 sometimes they jank around even without much traffic though. And it tends to certain spots and often those spots disappear when you redraw the road.
You can use the regular airport to go to and from the international and other airports, so you can ship the slaves, I mean workers, and more importantly the goods (OIL) around the map. And since air traffic isn't a thing, it takes stress off of your preexisting infrastructure, and doesn't put it anywhere else.
Alternative options for reaching your destination = less traffic. Build more trains, subways, trams, buses, and pedestrian access. Construct fewer roads, and you will have less traffic.
I’ve found that when they get stuck like they do at 7:30 just delete the section or sections of road where the jam is, unpause for a couple seconds and then rebuild them. I’ve had them literally get stuck all trying to get into one lane and not moving at all.
As a City Planner Plays fan, your highway infrastructure gives me goosebumps and anger. I love it. But, you should simplify the main highways so the AI can handle it better
The normal airport might fit on the island in the industry side and you can connect passenger route from international to small airport and move citizens by plane accross the river
What I did to boost my tourism is I built an space rocket thing. It actually broke my tourism and now it's over 300+. I'm also having the same problem with traffic especially on highways where they will change lanes to exits last second causing traffic. I recently built a acity next to the end of the map and for some reason there's an excessive amount of taxi's. I have an overabundance amount of public transportation for cheap and yet the taxi to general cars is almost the same. Anyone got ideas on how to solve it? Because I think removing all those taxis will help with my traffic problems as well.
For traffic, mine went down when I built a bunch of bus stops. Some stops along the routes share stops with other bus routes. Then I priced it cheap to incentivize use and the traffic went down a lot. Also, for tourism, i built a lot of parks and made additions to the cementary to boost city attractiveness. The parks i made boosted the most attractiveness which made people want to visit. The more attractive, the more tourists and more money per tourist. My city gets an acerage of nearly $2,000 per tourist.
The city has millions of people in it, so no matter how many lanes are built, everyone using their own car will never be feasible. But a single bus or tram can carry dozens, and a single train or plane hundreds, which really cuts down on road usage and can save the city from total gridlock (not that gridlock stops production, for some reason).
Yeah, CS2 was an opportunity to consolidate the DLC and community mods into a fresh, bug-free package. Not only did they just not include a bunch of things that should be base game, they also made a buggier game than the first one. I will still play CS2 over CS1 because a lot of things _are_ better in the sequel, but it's more like a trade-off instead of direct improvement. Modular airports, bike lanes, prop line tool, traffic manager... it should've all be in the game from launch.
Do not connect cargo lines. Do not add cargo terminal to small airport. Your mail storage will get backed up and people will complain about not getting their mail. Its a bug and will tank your city happiness.
Make sure to have enough Road maintenance service buildings, cars may try to avoid accidents, virtual 'potholes' and such, which can cause them to randomly stop or switch lanes, badly maintained roads can also cause lots of skids and accidents or crashes, which will also delay traffic (I saw lots happening during your rebuilding) Also, if you turn off grid snapping for the buildings, you can more freely place them, and center them perfectly ;)
Hi Kibitz, i greatly enjoy your videos for cities skylines 2. Inspires me to play the game more! I noticed something interesting in the game, if you put the tax for vehicles on commercial high you will see your money grow so much faster. The people don’t seem to care about it and buys their cars anyway. Managed to get about 15m profit in 85k population. Note that my city isn’t close to the efficiency you have on the rest of the city. Almost all of my profit comes from it. 😊
The traffic issue i think is caused by the following: Based on other youtubers experience as well as mine and knowledge from the previous game. You need lane-hierarchy . The traffic AI is almost the same as in CS. So they need proper lane management, if you create a ramp off with 1-2 lanes those lanes need to be present previously then after the ramp you need to decrease the main road lane size by the amount of lanes you off ramped. This goes around with the merging lanes as well, you merge x lanes after you merge you need to have those lanes present in the main road.
I read "How to RUN YOUR CITY". 11 minutes into the video started to question if this video delivers, then read the title again. Nice and entertaining content though! 😂
I think a better way to think about highways is to consider them as cargo transport rather than inner-city connectivity. Highways are usually better used to manage local shipping for industry so trucks don't clog access roads, and letting mass transit handle transporting citizens between major hubs.
I remember hearing you want as few nodes as possible on roads. I don't remember exactly where but cims do the lane switching at nodes so removing excess nodes should help with traffic.
Cars changing lanes in middle roads is a problem related to nodes, simply erase the node, replacing the road or demolishing and rebuilding it entirely. thats why i love mods, now we dont have them. Always consider ur roads like veins in a body, more lanes to less lanes, much more roads with less lanes and just a few with a bunch of lanes, also consider the speed of the road too.
the cars switching lanes at 90 degrees and 0 speed is the cause of the traffic not the lack of options, and thats so sad... why can't they make it more fluid?
I’m pretty sure that you can actually change the lanes on roads/ highways like you could with the mod in city skylines. It’ll show as coloured lines and you can give the lanes specific routes/ directions to deal with traffic
Imkibtz, you have not done an end of game world tour in satisfactory yet. Also, parachute and Pulse Nobelisk are so overpowered together you can go up for ever until you run out of Pulse Nobelisk
to fix traffic merging, you must have the correct amount of slip lanes, in and out.. so highway math, 2 lanes in + 3 lanes in is a 5 lane out, 5 lanes in, and lose 1 lane, turns to a 4... and then funnel, you merge all traffic together as much as you can, limiting which lane they have available, the AI is smart, if you tell them proper lane usage.
Hi mate, just a bit of advice to fix the traffic problem. Your problem is too many cars on the road add way more public transport. That is more ideal for the AI to use than cars. Obviously you still have some cars on road but a lot less 👍
Kibitz, I believe cleaning up poop bay would also increase your cities attractiveness and increase your tourism. If all tourists see while walking along the water are floating turds, they will not be happy. Cheers.
I consider a river with turds floating down it a tourist attraction to be blatantly honest.

I've noticed that lane math doesn't work in CS2.
The cars acting weird might be because of messed up nodes. Try redrawing those sections of highways.
Or I've noticed that the current set of traffic needs to clear before they start acting normal again
They drive sharper turns the slower they are, which is why this only really occurs when there’s already a traffic jam
@@rccookie6202 sometimes they jank around even without much traffic though. And it tends to certain spots and often those spots disappear when you redraw the road.
@@joshuahess7197 Yes, if you have nodes too close together, they will also do these sharp turns
After any major road update, the first 15 -20 minutes the AI freaks trying to adjust. After a little bit it gets better.

But what if you tried to make it much less car dependent?
Maybe it would help
I've been wondering why he's going all in on highways when public transit is how you actually get rid of traffic.
Because Kibitz loves highways :D Even his walkable city in the last series was a car dependent dystopia :D
only if american infrastructure engineer knew that
that big clusterfuck highway system is way more intersting and funny then some boring buses

Increase minimum taxi fare that to max $50
I’ve seen the taxi issue happen when there’s not enough parking. Also, it’s mostly prevalent when new citizens are moving in.
I'm still asking for a rounda bout with the automated parking building in the middle
The gated community comes from when you decided that workers are not allowed downtown

They should’ve just implemented the airport DLC concepts into the main game.
But then how would they sell you the DLC for it you FOOL!!! ;)
I guess I’m a terrible capitalist 🤷🏻♂️

The less cars you have the less car traffic you need to deal with
Bro, his entire city screams AMERICAN DESIGN. It's insanely car-centric. No wonder traffic is a nighmare for him.
As such, it's kinda deserved xD
Yes, that’s generally how it works.
51 seconds. i felt important saying that
58 minutes. I didnt feel as important saying that.

one hour. and i didnt feel as important saying that too😂
2 hours 😕
3hours☹️
I’m watching that patch of water pollution slowly get bigger every episode…
Colossal Order really put all their effort into making weird road connections work that they forgot to make regular road connections work
Traffic model has the same issues with merging lanes and clipping planes just like in CS:1 but developers are calling it "realistic driver‘s model“ 😂😂
Kibitz forgetting that busses and trains are a thing
The traffic switching lanes and merging horribly reminds me of the commute here in California. The AI is spot on.
Love this series and City so keep it up!!!
He said an hotel and it pissed me off that Canadians act like British people
You ever going to clean up the poop water heading right for your downtown? 😂

When you finally don't have to deal with nuclear meltdowns anymore but traffic comes knocking at your door. 👁️👄👁️
I’ve found that the people really like intercity-flights, you may want to add another airport on the island and create a passenger route

edit: that poo water around some parts of the city is ugly, why don't you redirect it to the ocean?

That 8 dollars for a plane ticket is pretty good, the best I can get is 30 dollars from Bellingham Wa to Vegas on Allegiant Air. That's pretty decent.

A 3-lane highway ramp is so interesting, the most I've seen is two.

YAY I LOVE THIS CHANNEL!
There is someone called El-sisi he will appoint you as minster of transportation in a second. He LOVES bridges
Do a lot of public transport in the central district to take some people off the streets so that traffic is better
I love this series you’ve showed me alot
I’m pretty sure that you can actually change the lanes on roads/ highways like you could with the mod in city skylines. It’ll show as coloured lines and you can give the lanes specific routes/ directions to deal with traffic
One thing I’m so terrible at is incorporating my city my highways…your looks so organic but mine looks terribly plain
Imkibtz, you have not done an end of game world tour in satisfactory yet. Also, parachute and Pulse Nobelisk are so overpowered together you can go up for ever until you run out of Pulse Nobelisk
They should add a minimum speed for highways and upgrade the cars lane changing
can we just talk about the fact that this city is better designed than a lot of other irl cities
Public transport to reduce the traffic.. :)
in your districts, you can charge for roadside parking which can make a lot of money at essentially no cost
Build a big tourist area near the international airport and links to public transport network.
This is the second time watching you and i must say, you are amazing
It still blows my mind some guy made a simple pathing mod in CS1 for traffic and they completely ignored it for the second game.
to fix traffic merging, you must have the correct amount of slip lanes, in and out.. so highway math, 2 lanes in + 3 lanes in is a 5 lane out, 5 lanes in, and lose 1 lane, turns to a 4... and then funnel, you merge all traffic together as much as you can, limiting which lane they have available, the AI is smart, if you tell them proper lane usage.

Bro, you need to implement lane mathematics big time
ImKibitz you should try Satisfaactory sandbox mode (experimental setings) turn on all of them , and it will turn into sandbox mode!
Can’t wait for the space station!
If you wanna see crazy last minute lane change shenannigans - well, sir, you're in luck! Sunny Florida has exactly what you need!
Biffa found a mod that helps with traffic and lanes you might wanna look into.
Great series so far
Kibz the small airport has a cargo rail connection ;)
However I've found the city barely uses it when they've got cargo rail outside connections
Maybe you should consider moving your sewage away from the downtown river. I don't think tourists would like a view of so much poo.
Build public transport to reduce traffic especially subway
such a good vid, keep it up
Right on brotherrr.
Today I learned that you have to toggle on the autosave function! 2 hours of work gone!
I think you have to many lanes on your roads. Less options equals less merging.
There is no better time of the week than when Kibitz uploads
hey you can build the international airport on a island expanding its land area like what is done by reclaming land
Hi mate, just a bit of advice to fix the traffic problem. Your problem is too many cars on the road add way more public transport. That is more ideal for the AI to use than cars. Obviously you still have some cars on road but a lot less 👍
LESS VROO
MORE CHOO
Day 1 of asking kibs to use proper mass transit instead of adding more lanes
Man I would hate driving on Kibitz highways lol
Lets go Kibitz, my second comment ever. But just wanted to say I'm loving the quicker cities skylines 2 uploads.
The gated community messed up my trafficflow aswell, because the district border was on a big thruway
@ 1:32 - LMAO! Cars floating in the air on the right.. this game is such crapola.
alternate solution: Move TOURIST PLACE TO A NEW PLACE
I've been mentally screaming that the gated community was dumb because no one could use the public transit to get to it.
You build roads like a congressman 😂
The best way to fix alk that trafic is you make the industrial area a gated community . So no cars are allowed 😂😂😂😂.
PLEASE MAKE MORE CITY SKYLINES
I saw someone who looks a lot like Kibitz per say are you in Sweden
Without barely doing anything, I've managed to make $12,000,000 a month. I think it mainly is coming from office taxes though.
I feel like the traffic jams/auto accidents built into the game are 'over tuned'. They happen so often and are so debilitating.
Jokes on you. I don't need any tricks to ruin my cities. They just get ruined by playing normally.
use toll roads to limit cars going through the cbd
you need to build a sewage treatment plant so youll have clean water
Plus if you want to reduce traffic increase public transport
10 hours really special
Quality end screen!
This city is a nightmare and i love it!
Hey Kibits! Wondering if you could do like a cyberpunk (2077) type of city? you could do a lot with the idea and I'd love to see ur take!
