Option 1 Biffa! You need high density close to industrial area and you can then expand the main island as well. Also you messed up lane arrows when you were trying to fix bus lanes. All normal lanes now go to the left instead of left an straight on.

Now if we can just get trash and dead bodies working on ferries too, using it in combination with helicopter service would mean you could have residential islands with no roads connecting them to anything else.

Option 1! you could try building a New Jersey style residential area with medium-size house blocks, such as Bayonne, with parks and walkways. I recently saw a landscape picture on Instagram about this area and decided to build something similar in my own city, the colorful houses available in the game made for a great result!

Option 3, you can make a high income residential area, like the palm island thing in dubai

1 really handy mod that can help you with the trains in the future. "Optimize Outside connections" mod slows down train spawning to make sure we don't get 5%-10% filled trains. That might help reducing the traffic at the edges of the map.

@hmshood

3 жыл бұрын

I was just about to suggest this too, glad I looked to see if anyone else had the same idea! It definitely seems to help prevent trains getting jammed up as much... downside is that each train brings more stuff into the cargo terminals so you get a bigger 'peak' in road traffic coming out since the trains unload more stuff each time rather than being spread out between multiple trains over time. Overall though, I prefer the fuller trains, seems more realistic that you'd only run a train if it'll be carrying a near full load.

I do this on almost every map I play now because it almost always becomes an issue.

Westhafen Lagerhalle is actually a listed building in Berlin, Germany. It was used as a warehouse but now it houses offices and is an event location. Very nicely done.

Option 1 But I think it would be pretty cool to plan some residential stuff around a future airport plopped in the middle of it

I was thinking last episode (because of so much water, and a long highway around) that cargo barges would be ideal. People have been asking for them in the forum from time to time for ages now. I had no idea they existed in the workshop though. Fantastic!

You could use 'Vehicle Restrictions' to the different lanes forcing busses (and service vehicles perhaps) onto the bus-lanes, and the rest on the regular lanes. (not ideal, and a lot of work...) Great vid again!

Hi Biffa! I would like to Thank you for what you are doning. This last year when we don’t have felt it like we belong in this world, the programs that you all youtubers do is a comfort for our souls. Thanks a lot.

With the bus lanes - "you can't force them to use the bus lane". Except you can. . . You can use the vehicle restrictions tool in TM:PE to ban cars and trucks in the outside painted lane, and ban buses in the inside lanes. It's a bit tedious but I make my bus lanes work perfectly like that. I'm kinda stoked in a way I can make a helpful suggestion to Biffa! - I learn heaps watching your builds and fixes, and love seeing your cities come to life, your work is really inspiring, so thanks for making so much awesome content! :)

Option #1 is impera"tea"ve for expansion of New Tealand, and gets you closer to building the high densi"tea" ci"tea" area inland of the coast. Love the series, and always anticipate the mornings when Biffa's soooooothing voice rouses me to life.

I think option number 3 is not the one right now, wait after you build up option n.2 so there is no unnatural gap. But I personally think option n.1 is the way to go!

21:29 - Quick tip: you can cycle through with the arrow guidance to the one who consider those bus lines, and also force buses on lanes blocking them on the other lanes w TM:PE. and they're not using the lanes on the hub cause it's on the left. keep up with the good work!!

i can't believe i binged a series of cities skylines in 2 days, amazing content there Biffa thank you.

BIFFA! Traffic Manager is able to force Busses in their lane. Click on "vehicle restrictions" and there is a option for seperate lane restrictions. There you can ban Busses from the central lanes and only allow them on the bus lanes!

Option 1 is the most space. Could probably fit enough people in that area to get both option 2 and 3 after its filled in :)

Great video as always, I downloaded this map also after your first episode, also ran into the same problems as you have faced. I am using the 81 tiles mod, seeing as more than 50% of the map is water, gives a great chance to fully utilise the available space, mostly for large hubs and industry (airports etc). I vote option 3 for your next square.

Voted option 1 (makes more sense for now) but option 3, being far away, is a natural for having Fartealand as its area/district name, maybe having a large offshore windfarm... Also, 90° turns on the shipping lanes could be a tad sub-optimal. You'd be better with smooth curves and more direct lines I reckon. Oh, and want the buses to NOT use that middle lane? Use the lane restrictions and remove buses from the middle lane... then they will have to use either the left lane to to left or the right-hand lane to go straight over. Much hilarity watching that bit though, although I did get strange looks from the cat. 'Grats on the ½M subs mark too, bonkers! Love it.

option 1 Biffa... Biffa, Biffa, Biffa OOOOOH Biffa... What is your problem?😂😂😂

Hi Biffa, it continues to be a pleasure to follow your videos and growing your city :) just wanted to ask you if you have eard or used the Movable Bridge Mod, I have just found it and it seems quite interesting :)

I love how the cargo ships go right past the theme park. Also option 1 seems the most practical.

Do you plan on building a huge university campus and/or a sports center?

I keep seeing shiftify on the screen but for all your series is tea so how bout shif-tea-fy

Hey Biffa! You CAN use TM to force buses into a lane. You can disable all other lanes for busses. But be careful about your arrows if you do.

I was literally thinking in the last episode "Instead of the industry area having to go all the way around outside the city and coming back again, does Skylines have Cargo ships that can be used?" lol so crazy to see this in the next episode!

I allways dislike the bueys on the ferry line. You can disable them with the hide it mod.

Option 1

For the ferry lines, just make a girdling oval around the waterways under use, with crossover rungs at fairly regular intervals. No crossovers, but just connections to an elongated curvy oval. For the land acquisition, I like option 2 followed by option 1. (Ultimately I prefer anything that allows a cut-throw loop for trains that are just passing through, but that looks like it's about six land zones needed to be acquired

Biffa! Haven't tested it myself, but a possibility to separate the cargo and passenger ferries could be to draw the lines, and when you have to cross the lines, use move-it to move the node so it doesn't connect with the other line. :)

Option 1 for me please Biffa.

Just as a point of thought; I’m pretty disappointed by how trains behave at the map edge. Isn’t it possible when the map is designed, to use one-way tracks, so that in remains in and out remains out? That line switch just doesn’t make any sense!

Option 1 looks like a good place for a downtown. Allows hopefully to extend right next to it on the right, also providing alot of flat land

Option 1. FYI the two lanes you changed next to the bus lane are forcing everyone to turn left down to the theme park. Love you work. Keep it up.
