You’ve got a ton of traffic pressure going through that town, primrose tea hill. You’ve got an unused connection right near the opera house at the end of carol highway. Might be worth helping out the town by connecting up that highway. Otherwise they’re going over the small bridge and choking the city to get to the new district.

Theatre -> Teatre. The Teatre Distict. Or Teatre Point for the opera house area.

City Planner is gonna be very happy with this TotallyNotAMulligan

Hey Biffa, you could connect Myrte Hights with the Highway Junktion so you get a better traffic flow there I think.

After watching the second rebuild, I can suggest to flip the Metro and train hub, so the metro enters from below. That way you won’t need to get the metro line over the train line. A much much cleaner design. If you could use the Metro Overhaul Mod this might be even cleaner. I haven’t really used with the new train and Metro content pack.

I would change the metro station by the opera house to be on the ground so it doesn't obstruct the views of the opera house's architecture. Just trying to imagine an elevated metro station butting right up against the Sydney opera house. Then you would have any issues when you need to take the train tracks over the metro line to go back to the main station.

As someone who IRL works in a theatre right next to a raised metro, that will absolutely be audible inside. Not complaining, I always enjoy your content! Just wanted to point that out :P

Very used to mulligans from golf games on the Commodore 64. 😁 One of the new areas, the one encompassing the Opera House, could be called 'PAVAROTEA'S END'. It's at the end of the line, and its named in honour of one of our finest te(a)nors. As the other part's a long, narrow stretch along the front of the seaside, you could call it 'THE CHAMO MILE'.

Respect the topography, now mulligans I feel like I'm watching a CPP episode!!! Nice video Biffa!!

I think that this area is the most beautiful area you've built in whole New Tealand. All the buildings and all the assets that you've used blend together very good. Definitely my favorite area! Congrats 🎊

Biffa now we are expecting Cameo's in each other's videos haha :D

Biffa, Couple of suggestions, 1. I think the path connection to both metro station (to the park, got broken), and train station to Quay walls are needed. 2. This area would benefit a lot from a cruise ship terminal as its a touristea area near coast :) as usual fantastic work :)

Cool changes! :D For the whole street - rail - metro intersection right of the hub towards the opera I think it would have been better to keep the metro and street at ground level (the metro can simply slope down earlier), and have the rail pass over both of them, as it was already raised to pass over the highway. This way there's no need for that weird underground section of the street. Just an idea :-)

Its funny how the area Biffa made the Mulligan got the Name Myrtle Hills as default. I suggest we keep that, as an homage to the firestarter in Verde Beach

I love watching people playong cities skylines, I'me testing some mods on my PC, I wish this game has a much stronger community here in France because at the moment it's really hard to have something coherent but sure a day it will be, I love your videos and tips Biffa, please keep going !

Love the changes! Makes so much more sense to be able to connect the 2 areas, though anyone wanting to come by car still has to go through Primrose first. Suggestion: You now have redundant train routes. Unless you want one of those lines to be express from the train hub to the new area, it seems silly to me to have 2 lines do the same thing.

Why not make two loops? Clockwise and anticlockwise

Biffa: Raises the metro, then puts nothing under it except a rail-line, that then needs to cross a road at ground level. You are killing us Biffa!

This area also needs a spot for cruise ships to unload tourists like in Venice

Biffa, in regards to the metro station next to the opera and how it was raising the land on the key I have an idea (not an original one). I recently was watching City Planner Plays where he was dealing with something similar and his solution was to put reads down where the land broke the surface of the water. It allows you to cover the ugliness of the land and the freedom to move the station more. Alternatively you can put rocks down or rock decals.

OMG! This build was superb! I'd love to see that small beach near the opera house transformed into a small park.

The name "Syd-tea Opera house" comes to mind when I think about the opera house. I love how the new opera house location turned out. I appreciate your willingness to make the changes. Great work.

Hey Biffa, the Lyric Opera House in Chicago is located on the Chicago River near both a regional train station and an above ground metro station, so I wouldn't be too worried about the noise.

Always good to watch a Biffa video after work! 40:00 -ish - gravel path lost connection to the back of the station after you moved/connected them at some point. And I honestly think the bus stop placements are overkill, way too close to each other. Plus, if you fix the back-station connection, the front and back bus stations are a bit redundant.

You've got an unused highway connection behind the metro line. Everyone's got to move trough the residential area and over that one bridge to get to the metro/trains etc. That can't be good for traffic.

Name suggestion: The Teap (the tip) And on another note, I find it quite irritating, that every underground ends at tearantula station, rather than going through and just have a stop there.

There's a lots of train lines that overlap each other a lot. Don't just add a new line everytime you add a train station!! You can pull an existing train like to the new one...

The train crossover is my only complaint about this new setup. I would lower the Metro tracks to the ground from the opera house station sooner, so the train tracks can just go over them instead of awkwardly weaving between them and the roads.

Appreciate the extra content uve been getting out quickly

First off I would like to say thank you Biffa for all of your videos. I've been a fan for a long time. today I decided to pick up the game that I've watched you play for years. I sadly found out that I need to upgrade my computer just to even run it.😂 I will not be stopped by that I am planning on upgrading my computer just so I can enjoy playing the game like I've watched you play for years... 🤔😕😄

The mulligan comes out nice! Thank you as always :-)

7:18 This kinda reminds me on a metro station we have here in my city. There the metro station is right on the river and the rails end (for now) directly on the water. At least until the metro gets extended over the river in the coming years. 7:50 Well, how about adding one of the new piers there instead of just the wall to avoid that the land below is visible? A interesting side effect whould be that there is a nice promenade around the opera house.

Amazing episode again as usual :). I cannot wait till the next one. I do think that you missed a busstop at the train station side. You now just pass it and let the passenger stop at the metro side after they went around the full road to the opera house.

Looks much better! well done. Also, Maybe a small plaza area next to the opera over looking the water side? It will help make the opera building more impressive.. Last thought, maybe a parking building will be more fitting for the looks and for parking capacity of the area and not only the opera house.. And again nice rethinking of the place.. Thank you.

The last housing estate you put in off camera - if you need more housing in the area you could drop the train line into a tunnel, that would give you some extra space for housing there.

Let’s go biffa I hope you keep building this up I’m really into your citeas! I don’t even play city skylines but I’ve watched you play for years. Could you try building with pedestrian roads? I always see gaps between buildings and I think that’s where you could use it to build on. Also, I really think you should finagle a path on the quay wall from the pg tips to the bay 😀 keep up the good work and can’t wait for the next upload

Gr8 work Biffa! I think a parkinglot would be perfect next to your newly built metro/train station. :)

you could name the opera " Sydney Opera House ordered on wish" xD xDxD

The only public road access to Poplar District, Myrtle Heights, and the Opera House is through a Primrose Tea Hill neighborhood. That’s a lot of traffic trough a residential area. The pre-built highway access near the Opera House was left unconnected. Call another mulligan!!

You have done a great job, Biffa! The Tunnel for the Highway was the most important thing here, i think...

@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines

Fantastic build!!! Very impressed ! I want to spend more time with CS…

I know I'm not the first to point this out, but don't forget that unused freeway interchange to the opera house/casino. As it is now, traffic goes thru multiple aroundabouts, winding narrow roads, the whole little town Primrose, over a narrow bridge, past a busy train station, and finally thru a residential area, to get to the theater and opera house district.

As it's a vast new entertainment/tourist development made out of an old docklands area which is trying to get lots of private investment you should call the new district OpportuniTEA Docks.

Idea for the opera house: maybe you could do a walking tour or something similair nearby to further boost the tourism in the area

You just did Boston's big dig. Put a bunch of surface highways underground to make more room!

17:23 - Since the metro is going underground you could match the aesthetic of the motorway tunnels with both the metro and the rail going underground at the same point too.

this was very enjoyable to watch, some great editing

I know that it has no bearing on the game, and I’m really not knowledgeable on this, but I’m a mite worried about the noise pollution coming in from the metro interfering with the sound of the opera house. Maybe put it farther back and add some scenic paths? I dunno

I think that adding a roundabout onto the end of Mill Street by the Opera House and joining the unused highway exit ramps to it would help get more tourists to the new tourism districts

40:00 - Seems like it's worth checking if some of the services could be moved near the station since they don't mind the noise and it's nice and central to both areas. gives you a little more space for low density where the services were.

"Operatunitea Quays" would be my suggestion for the new district with the opera house! Awesome videos

36:52 Biffa not sure if you wanted the High Rise ban on or off right here, but you left it so tall buildings will be built. As for names in the area well. Wharf Tea Lode (WTL)/What the Love. Warf is where a ship may be moored to load and unload. Lode typically used in relation to mining precious resources(gold) in a mountainous areas. or something along the lines of the Las Vegas Strip.

Yeah, this area is looking way better. The only thing I would have added would be a quay wall with steps around the opera house. It would cover the strange ground terrain that appears.

It would be cool to see the relocated factory and washed up ship become a Park. We have a couple parks like that around here, and they make great points of interest.

Just came home from school and Biffa just uploaded that is what i consider a good Day 😁

The unused highway connection should be hooked up under the metro toward the Opera House. At the moment, traffic coming off the highway has to go the other way towards the roundabout, then down alongside the highway, then all the way through Primrose, over the bridge, past the railway station to get into that area. Remove the weird oval thing at the highway exit like you did on the other side of the city near the industrial area and replace with a roundabout. Then hook those stranded roads up under the metro to the new Opera House area.

For the new snowy series you could use something like "Lipton ice tea"

Missed a bus stop on the return to the train station. Great build!

The highway was in a tunnel going through the mountain; then it's above ground, then promptly dives into another tunnel. Seems like if you'd just put the intermediate section in a tunnel also (i.e. one long tunnel), it would make a lot of sense AND open up more space for development. Assuming, of course, you never need an interchange on that end of this area! Also, where your metro and railroad cross... the metro immediately drops to ground level to the left, and the railroad is already elevated and has to dive to the ground under the metro. Seems like bringing the metro to the ground sooner would allow the railroad (already elevated) to continue over the top of it - as well as over the road - then drop gradually back to the ground.

I fall asleep to you every night 😅 So calming and nice to watch.

@Biffa, always love the videos. They're great to watch while winding down and getting ready for bed after a long day. Am curious to know, what was the highest population you had reached in a legit city play through. My highest was 200k and change on a full vanilla build (no mods.) But now that I've added TM:PE and a few other QOL mods, I believe I can beat that number.

Please do keep in mind to connect those highway roads near the opera to get rid of that dead ends, maybe you can also connect it to the opera area to give people more access options (otherwise everybody drives through Primrose Tea Hills)

Glad you decided against the levitating metro line in the end, Biffa! 😂

Love the new location of the opera house. Looks great. I really think you could do with a cruise harbour nearby and get those tourists in!

After you extended the walking path behind the train station hub (the one coming from the park), it did not connect to the back of the station anymore. Need to add a short path to the back of the station.

Biffa, here's an idea. You could put in a tram line between the railway station and the Opera house. It adds a touristy charm

@nemoamphiprion2460

2 жыл бұрын

And create a connection to Primrose Tea Hills and the funicular!

if someone already hasn't, there needs to be a railway/metro/monorail/road/other things mod where you can put something over another, and it will make logical sense, like having a above-ground tunnel as the underneath part, and then on top, the normal road/rails. would also be helpful for complex interchanges, with split traffic or industrial traffic integration

I haven't heard the word mulligan since I used to play David Ledbetter 's golf in the early/mid 90s! What a great game that was.

This was a really great update!! Also glad of the nod to CPP! :D

Biffa, great job creating the new area along the waterfront. I am not sure if you already noticed it but I think there is no longer a rear path connection to the train and metro hub, and I think you can remove the old pedestrian bridge from the old train station.

Maybe a few carparks near the metro station as you show towards the end of the clip? Those road side parking gives me goosebumps

I think the older placement of train station & metro is much better than the current one.

''Bifford Sound'' as a name for the opera area. New Sealand has a famous walking trail named Milford Sound. So this name consists of Biffa as in Bifford, and the Sound part since it's an opera.

NAME IDEA: With the Opera house right on the water, perhaps a reference to the Bugs Bunny classic, "What's Opera Dock"

Amazing episode!

Hi, the area around the fort could be named TeaPoint (after the fort point at the golden gate bridge in San Franzisco). and the town around call Sidtea (instead of sidney in australia, because of the opera).

The main problem I see with the Train-Metro Station is that the train side doesn't have bypass tracks. Considering how intercity trains work in this game, I try to avoid single-platform train stations whenever I can. The Metro-Monorail-Train hub would have been my choice, since it's a) more compact, b) provides two train platforms (so one can be used as a bypass), and c) gives you the option for (a) monorail line(s) to nearby areas. Plus, the metro being underground frees up the surface for development. The way you handled the situation with the opera house is decent, though I'd probably have chosen to not elevate the metro all the way to the pier - as others have said, it kinda ruins the view a bit. A ground-level metro station would fit better imho.

Hey Biffa, love the interaction of you with us viewer!

Enjoying the videos as always However you have a very convoluted train line going up and over the motor and then down and passing roads, from the vary beginning when you moved the opera house, you can see how close that trainline curve is, the maintaining of all those embankments and bridges would be huge, but you could from the curve either run it towards the metro line and then under it as you liked and did originally with line that you removed. or you could have it come under the metro and encircle a larger area by following the coast, both of which would free up the bridges and the train motorway junction. going under the metro line frees up space, going alone the cost would mean you could have a harbour

A harbour near the opera house would be an excellent addition to the touristy coastline in your newly built area

Hello Biffa. Thanks for the new and fantastic video. It may useful to add a busstop at the train-metro-hub, you set up just one in one direction. There is an unused highway-connection nearby the opera. It will be good for delivering goods for your commercial-buildings with leisure specialisation. The new residential-district may have the name Taeside Seaview.
