For the roundabout, the lane going off should have a solid instead of dotted line, because if it is a dedicated turning lane people don't need to cross it. Also I think that the green area you have put in for the bike lane should carry on through the junction (with dotted lines around it), instead of forcing it to go off.

I'd like to mention another couple of things: at 2:44 that road is flooding because the water pump is too close and causes a "wave" than ends up on the road; at 5:12 not only the markings were wrong, but you also have the wrong road coming onto the roundabout: it has a median, unlike the other four roads joining the roundabout :)

With Sunset Harbor, I've found the most effective way to check for drinking water pollution is to check the Fishing info tab. The Pollution info tab can show 0% despite minute amounts of pollution in the water supply and my citizens getting sick. But the Fishing info tab makes it really clear where the water pollution is. Try it out: Plop down some sewage drains, wait some time, and then open up the Fishing info tab.

Fish types are governed by 2 variables: water depth and water current speed. From those 2 variables you can terraform areas to harvest different types of fish (even if it's just for looks, as they all become 'fish' in the industry).

Saturday has arrived! Thank you Biffa for turning the fires off!

Almost 30 seconds into the video and I see fire and even biffa shows it and just over 40 seconds more fires.

Thanks all for suggestions and Biffa for listening and implementing. Good episode. Everything looks great. And yeah, no more fires.

I think you should name one of your fire areas 'red bush....' after our tea ;)

The specialized fishing docks only start counting when it enters the required fish zone, and will only increase while in it. So you can have a route through a few zones and will cruise through the other areas until it reaches the needed zone.

These uploads always make my Saturday!

11:45 Heya Biffa! I'm happy that my ferry suggestion works out well and happy to contribute! Keep at it mate!

You need to have a toll booth in NP Atoll 😅

As someone who is a massive advocate of bicycle commuting, that cable car solution is great. It fixes the problem, it gives riders a small break and it gives them a great view.

Biffa, I have a powerful suggestion for your busses to get more people riding them for an upcoming bus fix episode. Right now you've still got your original lines winding around every road and that just makes for a long trip for anyone taking the bus. Nobody wants a long trip weaving around every back street, driveway and parking lot under the sun, I'm sure many of your Cims are looking at the Horkey Borkey bus service and saying "NOPE! I'm just gonna drive my car - I'd rather get to work before my shift ends then take a scenic tour of the whole city and arrive just in time to commute back home again." Let's work on that, so your Cims see the New Tealand Bus Service as a fast, efficient way to get to work without having to worry about driving their own cars. The key is start with where do all the cars go? Mostly from residential to commercial, office or industrial. What routes do they currently take in the most volume? Find those routes and route your mainline busses along them, with stops where people would likely need them to access the busses conveniently. Make sure these mainline routes run as straight as possible so they get their riders to their destination with as few detours as possible. Given the shape of your city, those routes should cover most of it, but there will be a few areas where some people will be left out. Route some local feeder busses along the feeder roads that connect to your main arterial roads and have stops within a short walk of each other in at least 1 place for any mainline route following your arterial roads, that way the people in the ends of the neighborhoods can access the mainline busses and get to their destination with just a transfer or 2 even if they're deep in the suburban neighborhoods. I build my busses and mass transit this way and I quickly find my service has a hard time keeping up with all the demand. Eventually, if your city grows into a more grid pattern, you'll find most of your busses will tend to follow the main roads of the grid, interconnecting with each other so anyone can get from anywhere in your city to anywhere in your city using just mass transit. Busses specifically, become a way for people to use the roads without ever driving a single car on your roads for their entire trip. You'll still have many that prefer their cars, but those who prefer busses will not be forced to ever use a car if they don't want to. I'm confident if you see this comment and implement this fix on your bus system, you'll see ridership skyrocket.

4:14 ”Winky Wonky Intersection” is the most Biffa I’ve ever seen.

Maybe this map is really prone to fires, but from my experience, to keep the woodland fires from spreading all you need is 2-3 helicopter fire stations in strategic locations and a good coverage of watchtowers. If it still doesn't help, I don't know what will. lol 😅

Thanks for the video, Biffa. Enjoyable as always. With your ferry service where it's located it would seem good to make a short hop to the island nearby and make it a pedestrian place without cars.

Great fixes!! You can also substitute a bus line with trolley and climb some altitudes, e.g. forestry area is still not developed at all.

The reason that your bike bridge turned into a bike submarine around 18:00 is because the pick it mod has a setting where it copies the height as well as the asset. This plagued me for ages before I finally unchecked the box and found happiness again.

Cable cars are greatly underrated. They can do so many other things than just climb hills.

I think the real reason for the fires is that you are building next to a volcano.

I like this idea of community fixing, it has real potential. 😀

Again... I love the fade ins and with the new sound effects they are even better... (drumroll to encourage you to use them) I love your cities....

Biffa, when your were creating the bicycle shortcut over the river you connected it to the nature reserve meaning people can get in without paying!

Fishing industry tip: You can use landscaping tools to change the height of the land and depth of the water and that attracts different kinds of fish. I made terraces of different depth of water in my river and was able to fish for all 4 kinds of fishy.

The problem is your tram is directly compete with your buses so you dont have that many people taking the tram. But Im going to assume that the tram is for visual only 😋

16:06 yeah! that's was exactly what your city needed!

I like how you carefully fixed the bike path to the cable car, even protected the poor bikers with sound barrier walls from the evils of the highway traffic, and then left a power pylon right in the middle of the bike path.

Need to add the observatory and uni on the mountains.

Two thoughts on the line markings at 6:09 - the green bike lane is marked in a way that suggests that all bike must exit the roundabout, but in fact many bikes (also at 5:19 ) stay on and line markings should communicate that to car and truck drivers exiting the roundabout (and crossing the path of stay-on bike traffic!) - your markings suggest: the outer lane exits, the middle lane continues as the middle lane, the inner lane as the inner lane. However, roundabout reality is different: the lane connectors that come with a ctrl-shift-click-setup explicitly move lane changes to nodes that have roads connected so that lane changes only happen where they are supported by priority rules. So every stay-on vehicle knows the rule: "At every exit not taken change one [amount of exit lanes] lane towards the outside." ... lane markings could show this spiral behavior: middle lane to outer lane, inner lane to middle lane, new outer lane. Upgrading roads with bike lanes 24:37 "Should we do this one as well?" - You answer your question with "No", but maybe you reconsider: There is a pedestrian bridge (upgradeable to pedestrian + bicycle) over the highway that could use the connection.

I said the highway was wrong before but you done it way after the bike lane stuff lol. I think the cities nice! An idea for the helicopters (If its tourism) make a path for them to look over the mountains!

For the industrial area towards the west i suggest you make some sort of wall to stop the water intruding (like some places irl)

A little suggestion. In my opinion you have so many ferries that it makes the coastal area look messy and polluted, maybe you could decrease the amount of ferries in the same part you have the tram. That way the city would have a cleaner look and more people would use the tram. Anyway I love the look of the city so far 😍

I love how Biffa destroys someone’s house and then 5 seconds later says #savetherock

Biffa in my country there is a region that is on the sea but whit near mountain trough cities there are some bicycles tunnel and many people use it make it I think if you will use it will be be better

Most managed forests have ‘fire roads’ a road without a destination but to allow gaps between the trees and segregate and allow vehicles to the area

30:15 Go and listen to the new selfish shellfish Rap by Biffa!

Yes! I was looking forward to a new vid. This map is just so beautiful!

As you unlocked the helicopters, my warning: Don't use them to connect larger areas. Everyone wants to use them (because they seem fast), and they have a really small capacity. This causes large queues of people (who then actually don't reach their target any time soon, and if you try to increase the number of Helicopters, you get the helicopters queuing up in the air). Only use them to connect really small outlying villages which don't have many people, and where other kind of transport is not sensible.

Mayor Biffa needs to take more vacations i think, his cities run themselves when he is away. and everything fixes itself! City Planning Gnomes no doubt.

If your looking for names for the fishing industry you could call it "Something smells fishy". I also would have called the ferry docks "Ferry odd". Your city is looking great, I think I am going to have to move there. Keep up the great work!!

30 well-spent minutes on your video! You're editing style is unique and awesome😊 Btw for the electricity problem over the river, there are some bridges that are an invisible power line (like the niagara bridge)

Hey Biffa, I'm sort of monitoring your flooding problem in the industry area (that burned down several times) for quite some time. I think it would help if you would move the pump somewhere else. They are doing some weird stuff with the water current. Maybe that would solve the fire problem in this area, too. You see that there are traffic jams. I think they result from vacuum trucks, who are desperately trying to clean the street. So if they don’t have to get the water off the street, there is no traffic jam and the fire engines can reach the burning buildings in time. So there will be no fire spreading.

I think that the Park Maintenance Building would look better with the farms. I twill be closer to the parks you have but it already kinda looks like barns. Also, once you expand to a new area, can you name it "New Sea-Tea", get it?

Hi Biffa, great episode! Mistake spotted: close to new cable car service, the gravel path beside highway is interrupted.

Ypu should move the park maintenance depot to your farm area Additionally you should make an English Channel type connection to the island and run a path as well. People will actually walk and bike to and from the island

I am specifically working on a city for you to fix the traffic. I am almost done with it. I am not really using any mods, its mostly base game. I think I used two of the mods that come with the game, infinite soil and something else. I am only using 9 squares, have a population right now of 150,000. My traffic is at 66%. I wanted to make a challenge for you. Here are the rules to fixing the city, and see if you can do it. 1. Get the traffic into the green section. 2. You can delete roads and zoned areas. (if you are asked again to delete something it must stay, like schools, police, fire, healthcare, monuments, etc must stay where they are) 3. You can add any mods you want, unless they automatically fix something

You connected a bike/ped path to the park, so people can go into the park for free. around 18:00

While clearing the bike path near the cable car of trees, you neglected to move the big power tower blocking 2/3 of the path. 22:49. It covers the whole pedestrian section and half of the bike section.

I really enjoy your videos. Can you please describe your commands when making alterations in a little more detail? I’m newer so I’d love to learn the mods, key commands, options, etc. while you’re doing them. Thanks for the great content!

Another way to reduce the fire problem, could be to put a dedicated firehouse in every industrial zone. So firetruck don't get caught/cause traffic, and the fires get put off more quickly

I think Biffa should go full City Planner Plays for fires: smoke detectors, smoking ban, lightning rods, fire station every other intersection… 😁

I do like cable cars. Thanks for the one going over the hill. You could use them a lot more. How about a public transport network built around a monorail backbone with cable car feeders?

They recently built a cable car over the highway in my city(also in the Netherlands)… but I live under a rock so I had no idea 😅 So when i was driving I was really surprised to see them dangling above the highway 😂
