Hey Biffa - few things I've noticed which may help you generally 1)Tpme has an option to always have dedicated turning lanes so no need to go over junctions individually to set them! You can also remove any parking on branches coming into a roundabout in the options menu 2) by pressing select you can change the speed limit on all roads of that type! 3) building spawn points - you make it so that lorries have separate spawn points to other vehicles (I tend to put them round back with a service road). Means cars will still park out front and Lorries won't clog up main road/ drive through the parked cars when delivering/turning around.

Because you have Lock Forestry (in Tree Anarchy) activatet, planting trees doesn't give you the natural resources for trees. But it also doesn't remove the fertile land, so you can plant trees in your farming area. So you have to toggle it, when ever you need it. Glad you noticed in the end :D

Afternoon, Biffa! The reason you were struggling with the Bakery is because you have a lot of livestock in your farming area. Those assets need crops just like your Bakery. If you're feeding the animals crops you will have less crops for the Bakery etc. :) It's also why your animal products are being exported and that figure continues to increase. Place more crops and less animals.

Highly recommend adding the “You’re fired” mod to your builds. Which will quickly solve your employment imbalances. Without it workers basically get stuck at the business regardless of their education, and the changes to education requirements as workplaces level up. Then I’d recommend using the ban imports option in transfer controller within your industries; on warehouses and factories.

Go for area 1. You can put the factories right up against the side of the canal wall as if they have a dock that's a part of their building. And you can put a cargo hub there and an actual shipyard right there to.

Great episode! Thx Biffa Area 1 of course. Designed for. Areas 2 & 3 are waaay toooo nice for that! Rather for tourists (area2) ? Natural reserve (area3)?

Biffa, you're forgetting the first rule of labor shortage set up an underground railway station in the middle of an industrial zone

Now Biffa needs to add fishing to take advantage of the water there.

Definitely Area 1 for the industry with a port to export the goods

Area 1 !!! I know its not the most efficient way to do it, but I would love to see all factories in just one big industrial area with a loads of train tracks, security gates, fances and all that good stuff. A big harbour including the ship yard and an excessive use of oil tanks, containers and things like that. Name suggestion "Industrianapolis" 😁

Heya Biffa! Congratulations on upgrading all the industries (and finding the solution for the Forestry resource ^ ^)! I think warehouses set to fill or balanced will always also import goods from outside the city until, so maybe prohibit importing via Transfer Manager Mod? Oh. And definitely Area 1 for the factories!

Area 1 looks like a great place for an investment of industry. The shorelines a already hardened (which would matter to companies looking to invest for the long term), it is close to two kinds of logistics (Rail and Water), and there is plenty of space for expansion. Area 2 looks like a great spot for holiday beach homes and resorts. Area 3 would actually be a great spot for a nature conservation area.

I think Area 1 is ideal for the factories because it has docking places and quays. Area 2 is a barrier beach and therefore should become a beach community, and Area 3 looks like wetlands and therefore should be zoned for conservation/nature reserve.

I just binged Real Civil Engineer's epic, chaotic, amazing Poocano playthrough and the stark contrast with Biffa's orderly, controlled, efficient cities is utterly amazing.

Just to add my two cents... Area 1 is already set up to be a port/industrial area. It's the primo spot for all of you factories. I think that Area 2 should be used for either an upscale resort area or a very very high end apartment/housing development with private docks for yachts and boats. Area 3 is perfect for a golf course.

For your factory area, I would say it is dependent on your shipping lines (ofc you probably have a mod that lets you modify them so they can be in any of the 3 areas). If you're doing a lot of triple and quadruple resource factories on max production, then the area would need a lot of space for big warehouses for each of them. I would suggest having a train line that can easily access your 4 industry stations to transport the resources for your factories, and also a diversion out with the cargo rail+ship hub to export the excess, as well as a regular cargo port to export unique factory products. I would suggest Area 2 or 3 (maybe a combination of 3 and the left side of 2) so only your oil industry has to go on a long trip through the city rail network, as opposed to everything but the oil industry.

Seeing how the FACTORIES NEED STUFF FROM ALL INDUSTRIES: Make them IN THE SPACE BETWEEN THE 3 YOU CIRCLED. Central location means the raw materials can come together there. Also, close to living quarters and commercial for selling the product.

@heygek2769

As long as there is a train line connecting the industry areas, you can use those to stock warehouses with the necesary materials.

I think area 1 is best suited for unique factories and I would use Area 2 as an tourism/entertaiment area with long boulevards etc

Area 1 for factories. Areas 2 and 3 for Tourism/Leisure and eco-tourism (natural reserve). You might aswell add a Theme Park.

You need to put the commercial forestry on the green coloured ground (the yellow fertile ground equivalent). You can paint in as many trees as you like but it won't work without the underlying ground being green. There's a good patch just across the river. I agree it doesn't make a whole lot of sense because we know that a tree is a tree is a tree!

14:56 - I sure wish I understood why an industry is importing so much when it's also outputting so much. Are your warehouses sucking up all 58 tons of crops?

I'd recommend adding an office complex sometime in the near future, currently the highly educated citizens don't have a lot of places to work since industry employs mostly uneducated and slightly educated workers.

Some old unused/derelict areas in the Industrial areas would complete the look. I don't know if there are any assets like that tho. Old rusty combines, barrel areas. Even rusty disused barns, lacking proper access.

Area 1! And be sure to use trains or barges to transport the resources needed from the industrial areas to the factories :)

Hello Biffa! Loved the episode as always. I vote Area #1. Regarding the industries still importing things, a warehouse or production building will import if there aren't enough trucks available from the raw resource buildings in the single second when the warehouse puts in the request. You can manage this annoyance using Transfer Controller. When you open TC, the third tab will let you disable importing. Then do that on every warehouse and finished goods building to force them to be a little patient. If you do all that, make sure to always check and manage your available trucks. There should never be more than 75% of the trucks busy in any building.

Haven't watched the whole episode yet but the problem with the trees not spreading forestry resources is because of the new tree Anarchy has a forestry lock option to enable you to place trees around farmland without encroaching on farmland resources for example

Sometimes when you place fields and go back and add forest on top they seem to block the resources an stopping them from producing

Area 2, you can expand across the waters and introduce ferries. A new form of transport, more money

Cool video Biffa showing how to level up all your industry. In terms of factories - it often depends from where they need their raw materials. The ship yard will go great in the quay area near the oil industry but there is also an option 4 to use the spare piece of land near the ore and farm industries - placing factories here will mean less travel all round for the trucks brining the raw materials over form your various industry areas. You also have the cargo train station close by for easy export if needed.

10:44 That sounded so much like Eddie Izzard that I was half-expecting "True story" at the end of that bit

Perfect timing! It’s to hot to go outside so perfect thing to do is watch some biffa

disappointing that you didn't get a load of red emojis from the cattle when you plopped down the slaughterhouse.

Area 1 for the facories, (I see barges in the future, getting the goods there form the 4 industries) Area 2 looks like a nice nature reserve.

Unlock Forestry before placing the trees, I had the same issue

I still find it humourous that Paradox insists on using euphemisms like "animal products" rather than leather and "soft paper" rather than "toilet paper" factory.

area 1 makes the most sense for the industrial factories. Leave the ocean front areas for some high rise condos etc.

Area 1 would be best in my opinion to keep the manufacturing traffic away from the main part of the city. It will also give you more scope to expand it later if required. Enjoying both your current cities, thanks for keeping us all entertained

area 1 for sure. already near some industry, has a docks theme to it, and the others could be used for much more

Omg. THANK YOU BIFFA. You pronounce Oregon better than most Americans!

If Hugo can afford flying around and pay for vpn, i guess he's not one of those thousands of unemployed people in the city 🧐

The game makes a near-instant request for raw materials when storage buildings are placed (when set to balanced or full), and some Processor buildings can do this too. Tends to cause a temporary traffic explosion too. I believe you've used that Transfer Controller mod, which can stop that if you'd like the city to be self-sufficient (I like to allow a handful of buildings to still import though).

I think industry-Buildings that are more developet like the Cattle-shed or the Slaughter-House should have better roads leading to it.. they are build on a dirt path..

Deffo Area 1 for the factories, looks like a port already and has good highway and rail connections?

As someone from Oregon, I was quite pleased to hear Biffa pronounce it correctly.

Either Area 1 (as it looks like it was made for this kind of thing) or the land in between the three areas and it's the most central location to all industry areas and will create the least traffic whilst also being the most efficient. I'm actually using this map for a city I have and I turned Area 1 into mostly a fishing area (with passenger and cargo harbours) and this works rather well so I would definitely say to go for the area in the middle of the three.

Adding fertile ground is a valid and realistic action as land is converted to agricultural use all the time IRL.

Area 1 seems perfect for your industry stuff, as it has pre built Canales to send cargo out of, and it also gives adequate land space for building the factories, while the other areas have great water access, they would need alot of land modifications to make them fit all of the industry's

Two words to solve low workers problem: Workers' Barracks

Area 1 certainly looks promising, especially for the Unique Factories, thanks for an informative video.

You should name the industrial areas after figures from American folklore, so the Paul Bunyan Logging Company and the Johnny Appleseed Orchards

in your farm, upgrading gave you access to a lemonade factory, but you put in apple trees

Once you've hit the population goal for more tiles, I'd love see some little rural farming towns and medium sized suburbs spread out all over. Sometimes the dense zoning becomes a bit unrealistic :)

In my first city, I thought I was clever and put all my mutli-industry-resource factories in a middle-spot between their sources. My mistake was to pack them and their warehouses in too tightly with one another and the truck traffic was a long running problem. An internal cargo network that was disconnected from the outside helped move resources within the city without clogging city roads but the areas around the cargo stations couldn't escape the crush of full and empty truck journeys.

I think the factorys should go in area number one it looks the most industrial and makes the most sense, and I think Area number two should be saved for Rich beach houses I think that would be a really cool addition!

Area 2, because it’d be interesting how you do the road and rail links to it.

If you can you should make a huge recycling and composting center.

One thing to help with the importing is to either build more extractors or get rid of some of the storage or put you storage on empty so it doesn't import the goods.

Area 1 is already set up to be industrial, and has options for lots of sea connections to avoid road traffic. Area 2 would be much better suited to an assortment off tourist, leisure and theme parks with it's sea view. And being a good distance from the rest of the city would avoid noise complaints. Being so long and thin it also gives a chance for a distinctive transport option to set it off nicely. Monorail perhaps?

Anyone else sitting back and watching Biffa add all those fields and stuff while the Import problem is how he pooched the warehouses like three episodes back?

Area 1 for the factories. Area 2 being a coastal strip of land has to be your version of Miami beach. Hotels, high end property and entertainment.

your forestry is locked, which means you can't remove the green when you take out the trees but you also can't add more green in, it's next to your prop and tree anarchy button, Edit: oh you noticed, nvm

Every time you say the name of this city I hear it as "Mrs Sippa Tea", and I love it

I'd pick Area #1 for the Factory area. Also, for the forestry my suggestion for the name would be Sawtooth Mills. It would be in reference to the Sawtooth Range in Idaho and fits the Pacific Northwest naming theme going on with the Oregon sector.

Area 1 for the factories, it would really complete the look of the industrial harbor

What about area 4 - adjacent to the farming industry? It's in close proximity to farming, ore and oil industries then, making resource transfers more efficient than the other options

I think it would be cool to add a big American business center. offices movie theater big stores (target walmart etc) bunch of shops and restaurants transportation hub.

With the forestry section, I'm pretty sure it has to be covered with trees before you put any of the buildings down which is why you're probably getting not enough resources. You put those buildings down and nothing was there so the game might not be recognizing forestry even though you put trees around the buildings.

Area 1 is the industrial dock area, Area 3 looks like beachfront properteas, tourism and Yacht Harbours. Area 3 should be Long Crofton Beach (Croton punctatus Latin for beach tea being a Floridian Silver salt marsh loving plant)

There is a chance that the trees used to Give fertility do not, the tree type used near the water does seem to give it.

Biffa I saw your fix for forestry resources but I was having the same problem painting in fertile land on this map.

I find your take on American farms interesting, because of course most US farms tend to be extremely rural, even when industrialized, and of course the fences tend to be cursory fences for animals if they're even present at all. Half the time I've seen fences it was barbed wire to keep animals away but would do literally nothing for people. And of course, lots of farms even for places that had people living in them, wouldn't have any boundary fence at all.

Area 1 is the obvious choice for industry since it is built like a dockside and is close to the railway. Areas 2 & 3 would be better for seafront leisure facilities and some high-value housing. Area 2 even has what looks like a marina at the end. Area 3 could be a nature reserve.

Another suggestion is adding a ball park as a common stadium to host baseball matches as well as a local ball park as a shared asset between two districts to conduct matches between them also two rugby or football fields along with high schools in both districts will also serve as points to conduct inter-district rivalry matches

You need FIRST to plant the trees, and then put the building on top of it...
