Yep, agree with this. I mean, I do think a kind of balance needs to exist. It is a bit weird to smash a huge building 1m away from a highway (that doesn't even have barriers, lol). But then you have Biffa using Advanced Parking AI, which in a way shifts the whole game towards a more realistic behavior. Sometimes all the hyper-realistic stuff seems to not play well with how the game mechanics work. Like...cool, you're adding a school and a million parks and it looks nice, but in an area that almost doesn't matter.

The thing about this game is that it's not even very realistic to begin with. So, I don't see the point anyway, it's just silly. And Biffa plays it as it deserves to be played. Just casual fun with a dose of realism. That said, I wish we (city builders) will get a more realistic game someday, because City Skylines without mods doesn't even have an internal logic to begin with. My thing is: working out the internal logic of games, but not all of them have it. It doesn't matter if the setting is pure cartoonish fantasy or anything really, the realism of a game comes from it being logical within its world and mechanics. This game...even if you look at the source code, or rather, especially when you do, is kind of broken, enigmatic, and unnecessarily so. We were this close to having a real classic, such a shame. I'm still enjoying this channel though and I play CitySkylines from time to time, with a good measure of mods of course, because I couldn't enjoy it from the start, as it is. 🙁

Yosemitea National Park could do for the nature reserve and No Crueltea Zoo for the zoo maybe?

A building you might want to add as your maps named for New Zealand, is "NZ Beehive (Parliament Building)" from the workshop, unique looking for a central feature of an area and believe it adds to tourism as well from memory.

Biffa, so that you can make that old factory look prettier, you can put some yellow street lights with anarchy in it, and during the night, it looks amazing, i tried it myself, and it changes the aspect so much. Loving NewTeaLand as it inspired greatly my newest build

With the ped crossings over the railway, since the railway was already elevated you could have bridged a few places and had the trails go under the bridges.

You could have metro lines coming in from Orelando and the new area into the tearantula junction. Also recommendation for the nature reserve - Teatime Retreat (since sunset is a time most people have a cup of tea, why not head into the new nature reserve for a cup of tea at sunset)

Pier 69 "That looks really nice". Well done Biffa.

You know you don't have to put the little tents right on the path. They will tolerate a certain amount of distance so you can form little circles around the campfire.

Hey Biffa, when installing walking paths, your train track is elevated already, so to do paths WAY up and over doesnt look realistic and is awkward. Perhaps you should consider going underneath the track to connect the two city sections together.

A bus/ferry stop would be great by the main entrance for the zoo and a barge stop by the refinery.

11:24 I whould totally add that small island to the left to the park! Make two small path bridges over the water and place some nature reserve buildings there like a watchtower, or some camping stuff as well as some camping huts and all the nice stuff you like at camping.

at 32:56, use a tunnel for the path instead. it would be a different thing then normal and be cool to walk under the railroad tracks.

In Arlington Virginia, or near to it, there's Crystal City. It's a giant underground mall where you can walk Round the area completely underground. I think there needs to be a mod for this type of feature. It could be fantastic for bridging two areas separated by highways without building bridges over roadways.

I have been waiting for another New Tealand episode with biffa.

You need to get yourself some invisible paths, means you can do all sorts of things in parks making it look like folk are actually walking or hiking across grass etc.

Suggestion for the nature reserve: it's a sea shore, so.. "Tea Shore"?

There is a term for phenomena that I can't recall, but the phenomena is when you build a path that people won't follow because they instead prefer a closer way, say an architect thinks an S-shaped path from point A to Point B would look great. But then people would just tend to ignore the path and just go the across the grass or whatever. This, I think, would occur at the main gate at the new nature reserve park and maybe even the side gate close to the ore industry. To avoid that I'd suggest a triangular crossing. The "on/off-ramps" to the main path should ofc be rounded for aesthetic reasons.

It's so enjoyable to see you beautify all parts of the city. From those new pier warehouses to the nature reserve park. Question about those sound barriers, are they strong enough or would some trees and such be beneficial also? If there is enough room that is.

32:44 Instead of a very high walkbridge over the railtracks you could put in a small tunnel underneath the tracks.

Those nights shots across the beachfront were fantastic! Really love what you’ve done with New Tealand!

Given the location of that park I'd say "Tea-front Park" or something like that. Cool vid, tho! Always happy to see a notification from this series!

Hiya Mate, alright? For the past 2 years your tips & tricks have helped tremendously sort out numerous problems within City Skylines. I would like to pass on one I found to help with the horky borky lane merging. Using the Node tool, select the node that vehicles are making 90 deg lane changes, turn it into a stretched node. You can also widen it a bit more to help with the merging. Then Bob's your Uncle and Robert's your famous cousin. Cheers, Randy (By name and by nature)

For the path along the highway, how about changing it to the bike and pedestrian path instead of the nature reserve one ? It would look so cool, like a mini highway ! And also, yes to tunnels for crossing the train tracks !

I'm no expert on the loop mod, but I'm pretty sure a 750m radius loop would be a great addition to any city 😂

Biffa I know this is an old video now but... the MOVE IT mod's snap feature locks it angle in place. So set the angle first and then try snapping! Also with the snap feature active it will only rotate in 45* increments! Love your channel, I often go back to older videos to get inspiration!

Hey Biffa I love this series it's really helping me with my city. I know that you like to play with despawning off to make traffic more difficult. I just started to use the realistic population mod and I really think that you would enjoy having it in your city. I was wondering if you could give it a try in your next video. It will make traffic interesting and will realistically populate your high-density areas.

"Tea Front Promenade" should be the name of that Orlando Sea front park. Shame that the zoning adjuster works only on both sides of the road and not only one one side... I guess the prioritze newer or older roads works just fine in this case. The end of the road bear the bridge over the highway should be a roundabout. Two bus lines are needed I think, the till blue one shouldn't wander around and just stay on the main road and back in the sea front loop. An other line should go from the district next to the new one, on the right and to the Zoo wia the main road. Ped paths connecting the main road fo the secondary road should do the rest. There is some space between the Highway and the railroad to put some houses or other things unless you really wish to keep the trees.

Man I love your videos, this is so awesome. I started playing Cities Skylines but I didn't know about these mods that you're using. When I get home in couple of days I will buy the game from you for sure. You motivated me so much about this game lol.

Really like this series, even though I've never played the game and probably never will. And I am so glad you're not in charge of my local bus routes

Love this series! But I've seen you correcting the budget for power and water all the time. Maybe you can build a dedicated area for both of those. I think a water treatment could be great near the pear you're working on with the pumps fenced off, some inland processing and some offices. And for electricity you could build a solar power park with some maintenance buildings around it and also nicely fenced off. Maybe you can build your own construction site (dirt ground, crane, some steel beams or other stuff) in this park, like there is a new solar power thing coming. Keep up the great work, and thanks for all the great videos! :) (I have no clue how to mark Biffa in a comment, but hopefully he sees this anyway)

You are the king of Cities Skylines - Also known as the Tea-Rex :) Thank you for the video :)

A tunnel instead of a bridge for pedestrians would be a welcome change once in a while. I often wonder why you choose the path of the bridges.. to me there is nothing wrong with it. Where i'm from we have them in a lot of places. Even under canals and other waterways. Still like the content Biffa!

Just a little tip you might have forgotten, when doing paths over highways, (nature reserve) I suggest to do every nodes height seperatly, as you could of lowered the one where you could go straight down, losing houses.

"follow your nose" is from a commercial for froot loops. Too-Can Sam used to say "follow your nose" lol

Would suggest a fence along the train tracks so it’s safer for people walking along the pathways

Those piers look based off of the historical piers in San Francisco! The arch way was down near Fisherman's Wharf (I believe it's still there) and it was for a rail ferry.

Love the nature reserve! Considering that its next to Orelando, how about lake Kissitea?? It does have a little lake in it.

Biffa, could you use the touch it mod, or the new touchable option from the Multi-tool mod to "make touchable" then just delete those "roads" inside the warehouse piers? 🤷‍♂️

Landscaping with shipping containers. So fresh and modern. They may be tiny house conversions

I love watching Biffa build and fix cities more than playing the game myself.

Great video!! I love nature parks! I'm glad you fixed the pyromaniacs in your city... can you imaging a camp fire burning down the whole island at the beginning of the city's build!! The motto then was, "Don't have matches for you cigar ? No worries, just use the nearest tree!" 😲😁😂😂😂

I know I'm real late to the party, but while you were building the path between the railway line and the highway I thought it'd be awesome if you had made it part of the nature reserve park! Some parks are split into multiple pieces, so it wouldn't be too unrealistic--and you could add EVEN MORE DETAILS!

yessss been waiting for this one, kettle on!

Build a campsite!! It will be great for tourists, income, doesn’t take up too much space - it’s also a good use of space, you can build multiple in various areas of new tealand (maybe not industrial spaces, and rather more “rural” and “scenic” areas). It doesn’t necessarily need a large mass transit area, maybe one or two bus lines - or add a stop to an existing bus line. I also think that your using too much existing space within areas, and while some of them are a great addition - I do feel that the new “spider transport hub” really does need to be put to better use and therefor that area could do with building up a bit more.

Mark the nodes with move it holding alt (it allows you to mark nodes and segments which are prebuilt into asset). Pier description on the workshop have this step.

I use fences along the edge of a road to remove zoning, if you don’t want a mod for it this works pretty well

the new park/city area is really nice but you could add a walk path below the highway on/off ramp so they can walk between the two half's of the area there ^^

The Beaux-Arts Arch needs to go in front of a big railway station. In commemoration of the Euston Arch.

If you raise the paths in the nature beach reserve it'll give it a raise wooden boardwalk. That would look better and keep the sand down to a minimal for the citizens. Also the other comment calling it the crueltea zoo was great

worth the wait. love the nature reserve park and the highway & rail nature paths

The synergy got me, one of the ads while watching the video was for tea

Finally I have caught Up with you I just watched 40 videos in 4 weeks with schools being open which is ridiculous

These new pier assets look great in the city. Good choice for the industrial area.

34:10 - the railway bed is already raised, you should have just made the walking path tunnel under the railway.

I suggest be-teaful beachside for the new park

If you're looking for fantastic cities skylines content, this is tea place to be!

Teaside Park & Wetlands would be my suggestion. Also think you need a Roll district besides the Rock park 😁 💚

Loving this, seeing a lot of your influence on others like SunkenShip

A thought for a name for an area or building would be Choysa. It's a popular brand of Tea in New Zealand.

Thanks as always :)

Biffer you should call it something close to the nature reserve

You should make a naval Pier like a military port or a military base somewhere in the city. That would be amazing.

Good choice for the park.. Feel like the area is perfect

There are heaps of Maori names that have the sound close to (Tea) at the beginning of their name albeit spelt "Te" - I grew up in one place called Teatatu (Tea-at-a-too). The Finn brothers of the band Crowded House were born in Te Awamutu.

Biffa - I read the instruction on the pier asset you showed and it said, in order to get rid of the land issues under the pier. You need to bulldoze out the hidden roads.

Biffa, to select nodes that are part of a building with move-it, you need to hold down alt to touch the nodes

5:30 Road inside the pier buildings ... have you tried Touch It or the equivalent in the multitool? 32:20 I love your path network but it is also pointing a finger at an existing problem: the highway is dividing you island. Hardly any roads are crossing it and that very long stretched out highway connection seems to make things worse ... and this division also dictates the layout of your bus network.

And I am finally caught up!! After having covid, and then pneumonia! I had fallen like 5 videos behind. I was finally able to sit and watch and catch up on New Tealand 😁 I love this series, I've been watching this for like 2 years now? I missed hearing all the tea related puns Biffa. Glad to be back up to current day, and looking forward to the next episode!

You should do a "dumby" train line on the water with little islands as the bridges and put the arches on there.

you should put a cable car between the prison island and the zoo to link with the monorail

Perfect timing!!

Hey Biffa, a head's up about using zoning mods: Any time you physically adjust the roads, it will UNDO your previous zoning settings. Good habit if you want to fiddle with zoning - everytime you change the physical roads, redo your zone preferences too :)

15:14 Biffa, pretty sure the new mod you showcased in your last video had that too

1:46 Pier 69, nice.

11:14 Tea Tree Rock Conserve for the park Tree Tree Rockville for the surrounding district

That nature reserve park has its own Piscinão de Ramos!

Tips : If you don't want to add the zoning mod, you can just add a fence on the side you want the zone to disappear.

Yay it's been over a week!

Biffa, just tunnel down that high-way and use the space for more housing!

you should connect those paths with side gates and connect it all to the nature park, that would help with visitors

Was just thinking it was time to expand. I think the next island down should have a small regional airport on it

34:27 I think, you could have done a nice little underground crossing under the railway

Oh Biffa, you put in walking paths but still made it easier to drive than to walk, since you missed all the natural shortcuts inside the neighbourhood itself.
