It would be nice with a bit of a more rural part of the system.

This is why I still use Metro Overhaul Mod. The ability to rotate the underground subway platforms around to the direction I need despite road direction, and even curve them and change their depth, still makes it extremely useful to have.

So... I found this amazing channel a couple of weeks ago. Have been marathon-ing through various playlists and am finally up to date with day to day releases! Keep up the awesome content Biffa!

welcome to the family!

11:46 You are basically doing what you did before: you are merging all 6 station tracks into one track and do not keep one train length distance. 1:26 At the Glassbox Station you merged three platform tracks into one track for one direction and three into a track for the other direction. A better solution would be to dedicate some tracks (2 at the Glassbox, 3 at the new station) for intercity trains and the rest for your regional train network - and they work as dedicated platforms if intercity and regional tracks are fully separate and only connect to the right platforms. 14:50 If you are branching of tracks the busiest of those branches should be created as flyovers or flying junctions. I'd really love to see you sophisticated knowledge of highway junctions transferred to your rail junctions. I'm not quite sure whether you are joining the regional tracks here - if you do, maybe don't join at all but run separate intercity tracks parallel to the existing tracks. Network Multitool can build parallel networks to already existing ones. 15:24 Here you are removing the redundant metro station and 30:54 shows that the Airport has a second platform. If you bring back the deleted station but rotate it by 90° you could easily connect those two and extend that tunnel into a (semi-) circle line with transfer options to most other lines. And some of these transfers might be more convenient than going via Tearantula. Before becoming an independent line (the city needs to be massively extended to create the demand) you could use it as an extension of now less attractive Dean Sq line ... 33:47 Sugar Cube line is currently sharing tracks with that yellow line via Laurel Park to get into the Glassbox station. It could instead have separate tracks if you connect it Maple Line's underground terminus (seen 29:04 ) which still has an unused platform.

@@samantharichardson6956 The best way to manage railways in a big city is to keep the intercity and local trains on separate tracks. Have a dedicated set of tracks for the local passenger trains that doesn't have any physical connection to the tracks that come in from outside the city, and then you can manage how many platforms are available to intercity trains as well as reducing conflict points and the risk of train jams. Unfortunately it's much harder to do the same with cargo trains as you don't control what routes they use. Even if you can't segregate the networks completely, you still need more capacity than simply funnelling all 12 platforms into a single line in and out.

All those little side branches would be too small to hold a train given they are quite long. :( Your loop into the university is a one-way, two-lane road so the extra turn arrows on the left side where it exits would be confusing and lead a driver into the wrong side of that loop!! Your Tearantula station, and all the other metro lines and stations you had in before buying all tiles with 81 tiles mod, were broken due to the sunken line issue (if you look at your lines from an angle, instead of top-down, you will see they are all still broken) and I have every confidence it is also why the name resets. In order to fix the issue with the lines having zero riders, you need to rebuild stations and tracks that were placed before the unlocking of all tiles. I get that the mod is the only way to use the whole map, but I do not think it is something to be used anymore thanks to the huge issue. I had to redo the metro stations and lines in my city three times because of that mod. If you are able to contact the mod creator, as you seem to have the connections, it would help to get it fixed... or maybe ask McSergei that wrote Network Multitool to make a better one? :( Additional: The passenger counts you are seeing now are only going to be the new stations and fixed tracks, I feel, and you will retain a lot of the zero-passenger stops until everything is remade, unfortunately. You mention you have reset the station... that does not actually work. You have to rebuild it, which I think you figured out when the people suddenly flooded in. :)

The 81 tiles mod is fine if you do the force unlock all at the start. I don't like being limited to one square anyway, so I do this on all of my new maps, as that way I have the freedom to build based on terrain, rather than arbitrary straight lines, just as towns would have grown in the past. It's just a bonus that I have everything unlocked prior to placing any underground infrastructure, as it means I never run into the bug (which seems to trigger when you unlock a new square while the mod is installed).

We can call the new station as ”Bentealey" as its track shape is similar to that of the car brand Bentely.

Was on my way to suggest the exact same

Messing with the public transport is one of my favourite things to do in the game, and seeing Tearantula station come to life at the end was so satisfying. Was great seeing people cut through the beautiful park to get to the station too!

Some suggestions: -Line 9 is now redundant, as there is a noew line on the same tracks. - several lines ending in the Tearantula could be connected onwards/merged with another line on the same pair of tracks - on the glass cube station, one line coming in from the Tearantula could be connected to the underground tunnel and merged with the line there creating a loop, the other one can be merged with the line leaving the glass cube in the other direction - the new trainstation needs a metro connection, you can stop glass box from getting intercity trains, they will then reroute to the new station

@simongeard4824

2 жыл бұрын

Yeah, I thought the same - he has quite a few stations where lines come in from either end and terminate, where it would seem more sensible to instead merge them into a single line passing through.

Love to see the Tearantula so busy. Great episode :)

Biffa, amazing fix! BTW, a couple of tiny suggestions: (1) At minute 26, you can add a small path to connect the new metro station to the city in the back (2) At minute 44, there is a blue line in that metro station that runs just two stations, which is no longer needed since you now extended the yellow line to those two stations as well.

that just made me think of the Kea (pronounced 'kee-ya') so... you could also call it the 'Tea station' but pronounce it 'Tee-ya' haha

One guess about the issue with the Tearantula Station: It was probably moved with the help of the Move It mod, which might have broken the street connections because of slight height differences. Just a guess... Also another thing about your metro lines: In reality metro lines are pretty long from one end of a city to another end. Or they go in a big loop. Some of your lines just go a few stations and from there starts a new short line. Those could easily be one long line, instead of two short ones. Also I think your metro line no. 9 services the same plattform as your new "Tea > Glass Box" line. Since you have extended the latter. And another thing I noticed: At 16:55 you added turn-in lanes to a one way road. None of your lovely New Tealanders will ever use these. Anyhow, very nice changes. Much love, Biffa. I always enjoy your builts.

Perhaps the One Hundred and Eightea Station as a name for the new intercity train station?

Great Job with Tearantula Metro Station! Loving to see all the people moving in there now! The metro lines only had 0passengers because it was broken :) The metro line Tea > Maple is overlapping with the blue metro line that went from spartea to the glass train station, I think you should elete that one now :) and i dont thin it's a good idea to drop metro trains on the pavarottea line from 5 to 3 as the trains were pretty busy and its a very long line.

Biffa! You need to add some pedestrian crossings around the spider station so the peeps can use all the paths.

16:45 The new turnings you're adding here are for a 1 way road that the cars can't go down anyway, so the original markings were correct. I might be getting ahead of myself here but I wanted to drop the comment while I'm still at this point in the video, so apologies if this gets addressed later on in the video :)

Tourists are going to be so happy that they can finally enjoy new Tealand! Fantastic episode as always!

Oh man! What a satisfaction! I was waiting ages for you to fix the Tearantula!

Love me some trains, always my favourite aspect of city planning!

Biffa, you've got to start merging short lines (1 or 2 stops) on the same track into one long line with 10-15 stops or more. Transferring to a new train at every stop is pretty inefficient, in game and irl. Edit: you make a lot of redundant and overlapping transit lines by "not seeing the forest through the trees." Edit 2: you could probably get the same transit efficiency with fewer but better-routed lines.

Always love these public transport vids. The satisfaction of getting so many citizens of the roads is awesome :D

The 81-Tiles-mod obviously don't only change the height of your metrotunnels every time you buy new land, but the walking paths of the citizens as well. Good thing you rebuild your Tearatula-Station.^^

17:30 I said it wen you made the park and I'll say it again: you should have pedestrian crossings at the 'top' of Aspen road so people going through the park don't need to walk down the entire length of that road to cross the street and get to the station.

So the boost outside connection policy boosts the carrying capacity of the trains, planes and boats not the amount of people.

I think this has to be the most satisfying episode of this series by far!

So, I've been following you for a while, subbed of course, and binge-watched all the episodes. I even joined your Discord to get some help from the great folks you have in there. You are the best, especially when it comes to making these cities and talking about what you do and what you're going to fix, how you're going to fix it etc. Kudos to you Biffa, and thank you for making these videos for us.

It has absolutly nothing to do with Tea or the aesthetic of the city but I cannot get "Tosche Station" out of my head for the new Train station. Luke Skywalker needs his Power Converters

12:08 you just know that trains will be stuck in the platform waiting for other trains to leave

this is a very satisfying episode tbh 😁 one of the roads near the college you were trying to fix still a one way road

I absolutely love watching the people run around to catch up with the changes. Always funny to me

13:20 you can actually slope it you just have to click on intersections in this case. Thats the same with every node. Node A - click the intersection in between - Node B.

LOL, you need some security at the Tearantula, kids are jumping their bikes down the escalators at 37.30

This was one of the best videos yet. Amazing how the game will "break" without obvious visual cues.

for the train station that needs a fan & tea related name: The Fanteastic Station. Love watching New Tealand grow bigger & bigger. Also, for a future episode potentially, the mountain near the Tearantula metro station, could be similar to some summits in Australia where you can drive most of the way up there, then a small carpark with a little walking track to summit. The road could even have very sharp hairpins too!

there is a bird in NZ called the Fantail - so how about Fanteal station, which is almost how its pronounced here too :)

please can you build a area with only europeing buildings(high rise)

Oh dear... Rail Madness Syndrome afflicts Biffa... most entertaining. Very nice to sea Tearantula actually working again... Can you place props inside the plaza spaces inside the metro hub? Looks like it could do with a bit of love on the decoration front on the inside, but it certainly looks pretty cool with the high volume usage from the cims. Don't forget that the new quay walls allow foot traffic along them: you could possibly get even more usage of the new footbridge by connecting it to a pedestrianised river walkway.

Those are great changes. The track tweak is an interesting one and I need to address some of those myself in my cities. My few cities I have built came along since the early days of Cities with many changes done as the various DLC packages have come out and as new Workshop assets have come along. This makes upgrading infrastructure difficult in many places because I don't want to upset the applecart as they say. On one of my busy cities with intercity connections, I used separate stations placed in close proximity to each other initially. When footpaths came along with After Dark, footbridges were put in to cross over the tracks between the two services. This allowed passengers to transfer between intercity trains and local trains without everything clogging up because the services are separate.

I was looking forward to this episode as you got your massive goal up and running from one of the earlier episodes, the big metro hub. Your city has really sprang to life with all the fixes you did in this episode.

16:59, im sure the citizens appreciate the turning arrow, just sad it leads to a oneway street. :'D

Thanks for the entertainment, Biffa!

It's so good to see the Tarantula come to life!

The airport you get with Sunset Harbor brings in almost no passengers as a general rule. The one you get with After Dark does the opposite: it brings in crazy amounts of passengers and you'd need to set up public transport with it almost immediately after bringing it online, as well as possibly restricting private car traffic etc.

Seeing the Tea > Dean Sq line at the end and how low the use still is on that one it's PERFECT to extend to the new Intercity hub !

This was a really fun one to watch, something about spidering network of trains is entrancing. City challenge idea 'trains and trams only' for travel 'walking accepted' (no other modes of transport) the Tea-Train-Massacre.

So nice to see the Tearantula station working in full capacity!

What a beautiful city! I would love to see you do an island map like this, but without any bridges. Just tunnels, so nothing interferes with the water.

I've also come to learn, from experience from back in the day with the SimCity series, that high traffic mass transit can be resolved when stations are located next to other stations of other transport modes. Also, make sure districts are spread out a little bit with your lines flowing smoothly from district to district. That way, traffic is never an issue for mass transit, whose main purpose is to alleviate traffic on roads in the first place.

37:30 The way that man jumped the stairs with his bike 😂😂

Tearantula Metro Station - You should add a couple of crosswalks from the surrounding parks over to the station, especially in the back of it as everyone as to come to the front of the station to cross the street. InterCity Trains - You added Intercity trains to one or two of the stations on the Atoll

I have been watching out of sequence but am trying to now keep up with the new stuff as much as possible. One suggestion for this particular city and trainline would be something I noticed in another gamer's train station set up, and that is a pedestrian flyover (a white double staircase like structure) for the really busy city boundary stop, where people are just walking all over the tracks, that area could be more developed and B's attention to details would make it really look great and more realistic, I have no doubt. I literally want to build a gaming computer just for this Cities Skylines because I'm hooked!

hey Biffa @ 16:47 the road is a one-way road and as always the best C:S youtuber

I am a big fan of the channel! Every time I watch your videos I have the urge to play Cities Skylines. I have 3 questions: 1. How do you make your roads and highways look so realistic? 2.
