15:31 Seems a bit excessive to have 2 rail cargo terminals 200 feet from each other on the same road and the same rail line when the existing one already isn't getting much use. I could see it if you were running an internal and an external rail network, but that's not the case here. At least the older existing one (cargo hub) also does container ships which also directly connects to the cargo harbor on the other side if it doesn't feel like sending a train all the way around. Best thing to do would just to add little roads on either side of the harbor so trucks can turn around right there if they need to, get rid of the new rail terminal since it doesn't add any value to the area, and you gain space back for more ore industry buildings.

I was wondering the same thing... why put a standalone cargo train station right next to a cargo train station & harbor?

Careful of the direction of traffic around your steel factory and the warehouse and cargo station. Traffic will be doing circles around the complex because of the order of the buildings. Also remember to put in warehouses for goods near your commercial areas to keep heavy traffic dropping off goods just outside of the area.

Great minds think alike with the industries DLC build! Nice work!!

Parklife is my favourite DLC all the way, so necessary. This series is great, so entertaining seeinf the evolution with your new skills. I love the black&white vs color effect for the before/after, it makes it so clear what has been done! And in the new factory area, I would change the "random water feature" to a park, so the workers get some entertainment and can have a nice plave to go for lunch/afterwork.

I love BiffaloCountea. You could expand the Ore industry to seabed mining and add the oil industry. Also as the industry is so far away you should give the workers a train or even a metro to get there (probably from the newer zoo/university island).

Heya Biffa! Always love the industry and traffic episodes. Eager to see how it will continue! One suggestion: You should make sure that your Industry DLC Warehouses - especially those set on fill - aren't now importing a bunch of goods. Otherwise you'll still have a bunch of stuff coming from the outside.

Its always the same junction in Biffalo Countea at which you have problems its kind of funny 😂 I think the main problem is the tram on the road. Maybe you could utilze the space at the bottom and make the tram pass underneath the bridge, so its blocking less traffic and then you can change to more road layouts, because the tram kind of limits you. Love your videos keep up the good work!

28:56 Biffa I never get tired of your commitment to reading the 'workers needed' figure on the left and not the 'jobs available' figure on the right 😜 Then again those barracks did the trick so maybe that was deliberate...

@simongeard4824

Жыл бұрын

Adding more buildings does work, though. I suspect there's some internal calculation about how it prioritises buildings for hiring... the fewer workers a building needs to meet capacity, the lower the priority for getting new workers. So even if an industry area has enough vacancies to level up, it may not be able to get enough workers for existing buildings - but new buildings starting with zero workers will jump to the top of the queue.

Maybe some public transports to the industrial areas from the housing estates could help or doing an are with high rise workers housing ldue to the lake of space in islands.Also maybe redesigning the corner with traffic trouble by moving the higway inland and adding an access because you now own the square that was problematic before.

Excellent video, Biffa! I noticed your lighting of Biffalo Countea (and also New Tealand) is making your builds quite realistic! 👍👍

Nice build! For the road right next to the city limits, you could drag those segments further inside your city with Move it, upgrade them and then CTRL+Z with Move it again to return them to their original position

I think a big part of the traffic issues are coming from the autumn district. It's so densely packed with a huge population. Those people want to get around to other parts of the city

Palpatine Farms should totally have Trooper Square instead of Cooper Square. Amazing video as always Biffa! Love Biffalo Countea

Hey Biffa. Fine work in what was a very productive episode indeed! Definitely a few tips picked up for unique factory storage. Although the supply chain on PS4 doesn't have very logical mechanics so still facing similar issues. Only importing mail at the moment though so I must be doing something right...

Thank you, Biffa! I really like the planning of your industrial areas. Especially the new one. It's really spacious. Time for a first person tour, again, maybe? Have a nice weekend!

Biffa, you should consider moving the service points to the Industries areas. Trucks then only have to deliver within the industry districts. This reduces tons of cross town truck traffic.

Traveling in Biffa's cities has got to be like riding a roller coaster sometimes. So many magical road moves.

LOV your stuff, Biffa, you’ve taught me so much. Just an idea for merch- I always see the tea stain on your logo as a funny frowny face. If you sold that lil frowny logo… dunno about anyone else, but I’ll take one!

Hi Biffa, a fire station in the new factory and industrial area would be great. Also a small health clinic between all the different industry worker barracks (it seems you may expand these) and one or two small retail shops would be realistic for a fly-in/fly-out industry island.

Enjoyed the supply chain! I am always having to refer back to you to figure it out. Have no idea why it's been confusing but you made perfect sense today and that helps 🤩 Nice job with it today😍

great episode rail and industry my favorite Cities skylines topics.

Fishing industry is my usual solution to "not enough goods". For a relatively small investment in space, build a few fishing harbours, build some fish factories, and you'll never be short of consumer goods. I just hope CS2 will integrate these things better... the way DLC fishing works differently from DLC industries which works differently from base industries...

I feel like because you use mods it’s allows you to create road systems that don’t function with what the game allows on vanilla. Although the vanilla game isn’t consistent with real life I would really appreciate more vanilla content for us that play without mods. That being said I love your content and everything you do keep up the great work!❤

I use mods and also turn traffic despawning (the vanilla mechanism) off, so it's much harder. If my roads work for that, they'll work for vanilla 👍

i just "battled" with my industries as well and can happily report to import 0% goods, but my traffic inside the city is a mess since all areas are connected to the ringroad and the traffic on there is crazy now, have to figure out how to deal with a overburdened ringroad on a island. but the highway is free most of the time...😅

37:30 Suggestion for a solution to the heavy congestion in the two intersections too close together: link the bridge to the new area directly and the stadium area to the starter area directly. Then link the two big roads with a quadrant interchange.

Hi Biffa, love your content! You may want to change the road you make at 6:10 to the 6 lane version without bike lanes, as the tunnel variant of this road (which you use later) does not keep the bike lanes so your cyclists may be stuck when they get to the tunnel! Keep up the amazing work, always love a nice Biffalo Countea episode!

Noice... reckon that the factories and general industry would have a smaller bridge over the motorway as well, probably at the "back" end of the area, the existing (pre-built) junction being at the "front" of the area as it were. Don't forget that you can use node controller to thin down the quay wall for narrower retaining walls...

YES! Progress at Biffalo Countea!

Aye, some transit would be really great for that area. If nothing else a ferry would be better than having to drive all that way.

You should solve these big junctions like at 32:12, where the straight traffic, that is crossing tho out-coming traffic with a bridge/tunnel to go under/over the junction, so the out-coming traffic does not have to stop, and would just merge into the main road as a new lane.

Looks nice, thanks for the video

Thanks for the entertainment as always :)

I'm currently in a city that has around 220k population and traffic is sitting around 78% (which I'm proud of). All the red roads seem to be near my train cargo buildings so I guess after watching this video I better get some more warehouses going.. I'm not very clued up on the whole cargo side of things but my public transport is doing very good especially the metro.

Let's go biffa!

Yay! Live stream!👏

What a lovely little white sandy beach on a quiet island. Perfect place to plop down an enormous steel plant :D

Hi Biffa, why dont you change the location of your transport hub to the service area with the new road? The trainline is already there and it might take some traffic away from the already busy road along the river. Keep up the good work, love your videos 😊

For the connection you wanted to move, you could always move the new connection instead, and make it a 4 way junction where the old connection is that then bridges over the main road.

I think the extra cargo train station might be a bit redundant? You already have one as part of the cargo hub. It would be good to connect the rail over the water to Eggleston!

Hey, Biffa, I thought of a name for the financial school: Green Leaves Financial College Specialty cursus: Money Laundering Motto: As green as Green Tea Leaves. (In cooperation with the Green Leaves Police Academy.) Also, nice work again, as always! :)

Looks like I’m not the only one who learned something from Drakkart’s video. I hadn’t watched him before, but I saw your comment there. I wonder what you think about his ‘diverge before converging’ theory. Also, have you given any thought to making that new busy intersection next to the other busy intersection into a square-a-bout?

Make a roundabout at the always busy junction, so everything flows. I think you have got just enough space for that.

@14:28 it's so bizarre that they force you to place the rail line out over the water like that, but in this instance it looks as though you could fill in the space with land? Hopefully C2S has a much better designed hub

33:00 you should consider making that a roundabout or boulevard/Detroit turn intersection. You would probably have better success with the throughput. also the new highway junction by the original square, where you have the cargo rail station, you have the road as two lanes into two lanes going out to the main road. you may want to consider turning that into a two lane one way system with a one lane by the rail station into three turning lanes to meet the main road, to better appease the lane mathematics gods

I never considered keeping the industry, business, and homes so separated. I've been playing this game since it was released, huh. Always grouped them as 3 green rows, 3 blue rows, and 3 yellow rows.

Best solution : Use ' No Abandonment' mod , let people suffer but you won't see any demolished buildings, which is nizeee

at 33:33 just something I do in industry areas is have a few small commercial stores Maybe a diner, 7 eleven or maybe a donut shop those vans need to come from somewhere, I like the idea that the factory workers can pop in to the store on lunch, grab a bite to eat, since a trip to the nearest shopping complex would be too far

I would rebuild the highway closer to the mountain so that everything built there now is on the 'correct' side of the highway, and rebuild the transport hub, which should mean better use of the space.

Do cities need to produce both generic goods and luxury goods? or can you supply your commercial areas with just one or the other?

Worth running a small road (even a one way road) over the highway connecting the glass factory to the lemonade factory? Might save some traffic from the main junction.

I'd recommend to build internal railway lines separate from the global one to make sure the goods flow without accidental exporting

it took me so long to figure out how to fix the "not enough buyers" problem. my issue? THE FREAKING IT CLUSTERS!!! they produce goods and i didn’t know that, so i kept adding a ton of them because i like how they look, unknowingly making the problem worse lol

👍🏻

I don't have the industrial dlc, can you make a vid about fixing the issues for the base game?

Biffa about that train line for the cargo train terminal its a max of 2% gradient for elevation change referring to the 5% grade

Your city looks very nice

If I was the one trying to fix that intersection, I'd have tried to make it a 4-way intersection with the new road continuing onto the bridge.

I think exporting goods should be more than importing goods in order to have a thriving city. Keeps the city finances in the green to be spent on services needed in the city...right, Biffa? 🤨

Would it help the farming area if you upgraded the road from gravel to tarmac and get goods out faster?

Wait, i'm confused now. Wasn't warehouse fill, the option to import from outside of the city and distribute to local business buildings? And Empty the option to gather up everything from local business/industries and export it outside of the city? I haven't been playing in a while, so i might be wrong here.

The Cities Skylines 2 logo is just a desaturated Hasbo "Simon" game pad.
