Please use the metro access in the new part of the city. We want the spider hub to be super busy
Seconded.
And Spider Hub still has no power or water or both and doesn't work, so all the metro lines going there will be empty. :)
Yep, at least one metro station at the Court House.
Why do not extend the metro had 3 stops one for each district
Add a basket ball court and Japanese garden
Also have local market unique building to the commercial area
Agreed. Just one stop by the Court House (as mentioned before) would be perfect.
24:35 our tearantula's leg is just chilling there😩 and is like "don't forget me"😭.
I saw him skip over it like it wasn't even there and was like, wth?!
Yeah, I was waiting for the samething lol
Yeah, first thing that comes to mind as we've got the spider hub and the metro tunnel is already there. Build a subway station! 😭
24:23 You do realise that the hub has a built in bridge for pedestrians?
That's what I thought.
Came to say the same thing
It isn't unheard of to have an overpass and pedestrian crossing within a few meters of each other.
That was my exact thought as well. tsk tsk BIFFA!
I was looking for this.👍
Are you intending to put in a Metro station on the line you've pre-built? Behind the courthouse has a perfect space and it should LINE up perfectly! :-)
I thought the same thing. That spur now is going nowhere.
^
Totally thought the same thing! Behind the courthouse.
Hope he sees this. Its like he just looked right over it when he was showing up all the lines. Literally a line that goes straight to the courthouse
This is driving me nuts while watching!
25:08 Nice bus line, though it sure would have been nice if someone had thought ahead and put a metro line to this area. :-P
A line is present. But the station is missing.
@@rubenvdfdecloedt4824 Yes, that's the joke :)
Yeah, it looks like the mocked-in metro line ends pretty close to the courthouse. Might be nice to have a metro station in front of the courthouse.
Classic Biffa move
How about a raised or lowered roundabout so the people walking and biking aren't the ones who have to change altitude*?
*alteatude?
That is a good idea
Nah that’s not realistic
@@nathanwaldron4259 Are we going to pretend we watch Biffa for the realism?
@@nathanwaldron4259 Really? There's plenty of them in the real world. There was one in Sheffield, known locally as The Hole. It was a mistake on the council's part to fill it in. Now no-one can cross to the huge roads and the surrounding communities are rundown, without access to shops or jobs.
@Roy Van Del Marel True
24:21 but there is crosswalk built in into this train station (over the road)
25:00 add metro stop there, the tunnel is already there
29:48 you forgot the red bushes on the right side of the building
31:16 i think they don't move in, cuz they are kinda far away from services.
The metro stop... Came here to write that.
Now we have a Court House, can we have a prison called HMP Guilt-Tea
Love the new residential district! Need to find myself a house there... 😎
Me too.
A city zoo would be excellent at the spot you told you would like a park
We've already got an amusement park; mid-city is a bad place for a Nature Reserve; we've got other City Park areas; looks like a great Zoo opportunity to me!
Didn't you forget to add a metro station in the new area? Because their is a metro tunnel lying underground unused now
24:20 where you add the crossing, isn't that what the bridge is for?
I was wondering the same thing when I saw that.
Was getting ready to add the same comment lol
Same point
I'm not sure if people that aren't crossing from train to metro are able to use it (it could be transfer only), meaning that those coming from the shops would have to walk to the end of the road and back for the train
@@amdkillaplays I suppose you could devise an experiment where either the train or metro does not have a line and have a sole bus connection on the other side to see if the bridge is still used by pedestrians
Maybe instead of a gigantic park, you can do a Zoo?
I was thinking of Zoo as well. Maybe the zoo has a spider house?
Was going to comment the same thing.
A zoo would be lovely there!
The New public library has a path behind it over the railway Line that you didn't reconnect 😉
Ye this
And he could connect the stadium to the new residential area at the same time as well
You kept saying "along the front here" so I think New Frontear could be a fitting name :)
With the USS Enterpise park?
@@amdkillaplays Hugo can boldly go there :)
If you want to boost the land value wouldn't it be worth turning the island into a nature reserve or something? That would boost the surrounding land and would look pretty cool. You could have path access only onto the island.
maybe a unique building would fit on that Island or some shops
Or a small camping area?
I agree that a Nature Reserve type park (or really any type of park) would work _great_ in this area. It would make use of the beautiful river, and enhance the land value at the same time. Win-win!
Or a zoo that has a cafe & jet ski rentals on the island? I think this would be awesome!
i was thinking about a library on that island
The park life dlc added in flower beds that you should use more in your decoratifying
Where you've got those fiddly little one- and two-cell bits of zone at the edge of the new area, you can improve that by putting a fence alongside the main road running past, or making it into a non-zoneable road, and then all that space in between will become zoneable from the road on the new estate, allowing sensible sized shops and buildings.
He has the zoning mod he could have just used that
Hey Biffa, if you'll ever get the clothing factory you can name it "Tea shirts factory"
These Skyline videos are so soothing and relaxing. I watch them when I'm freaking out. I hope I'll one day be able to afford a supercomputer to play this game. I used to be addicted to this online game 'Megapolis', Skylines is the kind of realism I'm looking for.
Heya Biffa! Love the new area! :)
As always a few notes/observations:
1) You have a metro line that was dedicated for this area, but you didn't connect it.
2) The road between the rail line and the new roundabout has two junctions very close to each other. I would remove pedestrian crossings at one of those to limit traffic interference.
3) I would LOVE for you to start hunting for some of the big monuments (or what they are called) like the Space-Elevator. Well. Maybe not that one, but I'm sure there are several cool Monuments that would fit in nicely into New Tealand!
Either way, keep doing what you're doing. I'm always happy when you post a new vid.
Thanks for that mate! :)
always such a comforting moment when there's a new biffa video
Me: omg yess next episode from biffa
Now I’m sad and stuck waiting for another
24:50 Great metro tunnels underneath - I hope you are still planning to use them. Crest District could have a 4 platform station served by both lines, the other two districts could have one station each served only by the new line which might continue to the university and an interchange with an existing line.
In the beginning of this build I recommended useing 'Zoning Toolset' by Arch Angel. You showed it, but haven't used it since... In this vid at 27:22 there's another great opportunity to use this mod to create some more zoning for commercial. Especially with the limited amount of building space this map offers, I recommend useing this mod more often!
By that road that he's not going to build on is an ideal space to use it I agree
That river meander, which was well on its way to becoming an oxbow lake or more likely a "wetland", had a low land value because it was a swamp. When you destroyed all that habitat for diverse species (like mosquitos), you raised the value of the land. Shocking.
8-)
I like the name Teapioca for one of the new areas.
That whole section with the river, sustainable housing, the university, and the courthouse feels a lot like Austin, and Teapioca is a locally famous tea house there.
Hello Biffa, it seems that you've forgotten about metro line you planned for this area coming from SpiderHub!
24:20
Why are you adding a cross-walk on the road
You do realize that there is an elevated walkway built into the train-metro hub, right?
Just wanted to ask the same. XD
Yeah, but it's to go from metro to train. What if you just want to walk out to a shop?
@@ropale9730 or the bus
@@ropale9730 There are stairs next to the buildings, so you can enter the walkway, without entering the building itself.
I was wondering the same thing
Biffa that river system at the start is classic a ox-bow lake representation! After eroding the bank the river breaks through and the original meander fills up with silt, I think that's what the map builder was trying to represent.
I've never played this game but I've been watching you for a couple of months. The way your mind works and builds things is really satisfying. Good job Biffa.
Thank you :-)
Sry for the late comment. Just fyi, that bend in the river is an oxbow, made when the river meandered and then cut itself a straighter path again. Oxbows do indeed dry out, as the map author depicted. Love the videos, very informative and entertaining. Keep it up!
Thank you Biffa for expanding my vocabulary.
I live in Wales. Made a rare trip to London today - used the North circular.
SO much Horkey Borkey lane changing! 🤣
Ah yes the natural railways. Awesome episode as always!
I would connect the university road with bike lanes that sits empty with the new area by making a tunnel under the railway. That way you also don't need that bicycle/pedestrian bridge you built right next to it. Much cleaner!
the perfect names for that 3 districts would be 3 types of tea, addding "Tea'strict"-from district at the end. Example, Black Teastrict, Herbs Teastrict, Strawberry Teastrict or whatever tea u like.
I absolutely love this city, it’ll be incredibly enjoyable to see some first person videos, just driving through different zones
this is the only channel i turned on the bell, good work, Biffa
Thank you :-)
Man I remember the days when this city would catch fire every 10 minutes. How far we've come.
2:50 the lad value is mainly going up with services and road acces, the water does help but it’s really services
Loving the City Planner Plays esque city tour near the end there Mr B! Very nice 😊
The new path over the railwayline next to the new Libary in the Uni Campus is not connected (got demolished when you added in the 1U road for the Libury building)
Lunchtime, perfect timing!
I am sure I will not be the first to point out that the train/metro hub that you built the low-density commercial around has a street-crossing bridge built right into it already -- old habits die hard! I also was surprised that you didn't take the opportunity to extend the subway line that ends at this same station to add a few stops in your new high-density residential zones. Love your work as always -- yours is the only Cities Skylines channel that I simply have to watch every new video from right away!
The second public library needs a walking path over to the residents. Also what would be cool and more realistic, is to lower the train tracks just a bit. That way your bridges dont need to be that steep.
Keep on going. I really like the series.
Great build! Loved it!
It’s great to watch your videos because there’s always a little thing that inspires and so I can use it in my city. Thanks. Anyway, no matter how many times I walk the streets, your name always comes across on the big trash containers and I am immediately reminded of something in one of your videos. 🤣
Another great Biffa vid to relax to with a cuppa :D
Also, you added a crosswalk at that train/metro hub, but it already has an overpass foot bridge built into it :P
Great new zone! I’m half way through the episode and one thing I figure is that you will need waaaaay more schools for that amount of high density.
It's interesting to me to see how your play style has changed since you worked with City Planner Plays. Gridded areas and pipes under the roads as the two main examples. Thanks for the entertainment Biffa, I watch every episode.
Just what I needed before I start my school work. 😊
wow so relaxing
I'm glad you like it :-)
Got the notification at work there was a new video. Have had to wait to watch it. Yay. New Biffa. Thanks for the YumblTV recommendation too. Decided to create a new city and between you and Yumbl I feel this is starting a lot better than the first one.
Excellent video! One thought - I think the height disparity between zones will go away. The self sufficient buildings start out at full height and never upgrade, but the high tech buildings will eventually upgrade and get taller!
Lovely and excellent as always 🤗
"We're having a big medium demand for commercial zone." I guess that's somewhere between medium and high demand.
I think if you select the p+b path and then do the predestrian bridge builder, it will build it using the selected p+b path and you won't need to upgrade it later on. Great video by the way. Love it. 🙂
27:25 get rid of the 1x1 squares by running a fence alongside the main road, it'll kill the zoning giving you more room for the inside grid. You might need to upgrade/downgrade the road for it to appear.
13:21 there is a second crossing where the bridge reconnects to the road, which is very close to the one at the 3-way. I would suggest removing the one at the bridge's edge, as it may cause unnecessary stopping for traffic later on; plus it would make the road-type transition look smoother, visually :D
Biffa - Sets up loads of very useful metro lines leading to a useful hub.
*USES BUSES AS MASS TRANSIT OPTION AND COMPLETELY IGNORES PRE-BUILT TUNNEL FROM METRO*
I tend to do reversing matching bus routes in case they want to go that way first. Especially if the route is quite long. Looking good!
I really find your videos relaxing lol
Yay, thank you!
Biffa!! Right at @22:24 when you are de-zoning the main road, you could fence up the left side of this main road. This will remove the zoning from it and "give it back" to the residential side. So instead of having 1 square wide house zone, it will go wider up to the fence! It's a vanilla way of dezoning roads since i know you want to reduce the amount of mods you have and this does the exact same thing as the Zoning toolset mod!!
Amazing vid!!! Cheers
Love the new estate. The new park would look great with ponds connected by a stream with little footbridges, like a Japanese garden. Even build a nice Tea room
Great video! I'm loving watching this city develope, but I do have some suggestions regarding your public transport.
1. It's all very well having your train/metro station but you haven't actually set up a train line going to it yet so it's only intercity trains at the moment, and not local trains.
2. Your bus line around the area is in a loop, which is fine, but the loop only goes in one direction, which has 2 issues:
a. It's inconvenient; imagine you want to get the bus to just down the road but to do so, you have to go THE WHOLE WAY round the loop.
b. It could lead to overcrowding, if they are all relying on just one line.
So yeah to solve these issues I recommend having at least 2 lines, a clockwise, and an anticlockwise.
Just got an idea: Alien rock park could be called E.T.ea Coming Home
Did you fix the path next to the Public Library by the university that connected it to Sunset Park? I tried to look in the cinematic ending but couldn't get the right angle. Also, a dog park or a couple of small parks would be great in the new area! They would get a ton of use with all of the high density housing!
It's looking good! You could extend the large road in the new residentials district to the island, than move the library to there. I think it would look supercool to have a small river island library.
I was also gonna suggest the gigantic park in the are you suggested, just before you mentioned you were planning to do that.
Yessss! I'm gonna make myself some tea and enjoy! ☕🍯🤤
Perfect!
that ws very interesting with the river and land value. now i'm curious too!
You should connect the new area to the little roundabout near the basketball arena. I also love the idea of a massive park across the road from your new area. I also think it is a good idea to connect the road near your new commercial zone to that highway junction.
City looks amazing
Good video, Biffa. I like the meandering roads that fit in with the land, but the grid roads have their own thing going on, too. Yes, the Brew District really looks nice, don't you think? 😆
LoL I was just waiting for it....nice Biffa
Should make that road next to the train tracks a small bridge to connext the areas over the river. Could then upgrade that whole outer road to something bigger.
Having the bridge there keeps bridges centralized
I think the roads that end in a straight line would benefit from becoming a nice cul de sac road instead!
Even though it's normally more used outside of the city I think it ends the road nicer and makes the turning around of busses and vehicles look better as well.
i cant wait for the Airport , like i dont even play the game but ive got so many ideas for that map layout arghhh!!!
The person who made this map did a fantastic job.
Fun fact: the meandering curves in the river is created when a river makes its way across soft terrain, such as former seabed. At first, the water will dig a trench wherever it can, which can create some quite dramatic curves.
Eventually, the river will break through in the places where such curves are close together, and will then prefer the shorter, faster route. This will leave the "abandoned" parts with less waterflow, and they may even become separated into little lakes.
This isn't particularly relevant to your video, I just felt like sharing a fun fact.
LETS GO! Perfect way to wake up!
Enjoy :-)
I love the timing
Good to see a new video again 👍
Yay another biffa video
Reminds me a lot of Singapore!
Cool city!
25:00 Biffa don’t forget to put metro station there !!
We need another Bad Mayor Challenge!
16:49 - Remember the days when running water pipes were as simple as drawing a bunch of parallel straight pipes? I blame City Planner Plays.
Yay for Biffa videos!!
"We will walk away. I am sure it will sort itself out."
Spoken like a true government official.
Hey Biffa, dunno how you feel but if you want your grids to be more interesting/features but still have right-angled grids, maybe you can delete a few crossroad connections. I.e. have instead of many 10x10 squares have a few 20x10 or 30x10 rectangles in vertical and horizontal arrangements randomly. This way everything is still completely gridded but less unnecessary connection and maybe more interesting?
Anyways loving the vids, cant wait to watch them every time I get a notification.
Alright. I noticed this in earlier episodes, but I'm mentioning it here for the first time. The roads you place have been depressed a couple of meters. The reason is a mod on your lower left hand side which only pops up when building roads. It is a small circular icon mentioning a number then m for meter. I.e. "1m". You'll find it to the left of straight road, curve and meander road icons.
Also you love busses, but you have already planned a metro from there. You even have the subway tunnel there. If you have traffic problems it might be worth checking. Otherwise excellent video!
Would love a zoo! You rarely do zoo's which is a shame as they look quite nice and brings in more life to your city. Also helps with increasing land value.
Name Ideas: "First Flushington", "Second Flushington" and between them "All Blended"
The bus line might benefit from having stops going on the opposite direction. Usually bus lines are not closed circles, but they go to a place, and then back again. That allows cims to go from place A to B without having to do the whole loop again.
Hey Biffa, I’ve played this map before, several times actually as it’s a gorgeous map. You’ll find with this map that traffic from the start point (and your main city) doesn’t have access through the primary three way highway junction to the area you are expanding to on the main island (new connections with the spider junction). Similarly, traffic flow is impeded in the other direction. This causes an increase in traffic through the University area, the roundabout and the intersection to the highway. If you update the three way highway junction to enable traffic from all directions to travel in all directions, I hope you will find a great return on your traffic flow 😊
The court house actually has integrated paths with connection. That's what those little circles are when you are building paths next to the building. A lot of landmark buildings have them.
Nice episode! 👍🏻 As a suggestion, I'd only remove a little bit of resi in front of the Court - it would look much nicer with a larger plaza in front 😅
The gigantic park area could make for a really cool zoo! It's been a while since there was one in any of your builds, iirc.
1) There is an unused metro line linking to the tearantula junction. The are behind the courthouse is perfect for the metro station
2) You could add a cable car network between the two areas on either sides of the mountain range
3) More trams please!
4) You could activate the ban cycling on sidewalk feature to encourage more people to use the bike lanes
28:35 you do realise the court house has path nodes to allow you to attach directly to the building, and putting the path around the court house has not connected to the nodes on the building, effectively removing multiple points of access to the building?
And your bus loop is only one direction so you can go to the shops but then have to go all around the loop to get back home.
also along the main road from the parklo if you de zone or put a fence the small zones for the other roads will get bigger, as you said you were not going to zone along there
also the walking cycle bridge near the second library you disconnected it to place the library but never reconnected it
love the video as always keep them coming
*edit, just saw on your close screen you fixed the bridge and reconnected it off camera haha.
Make the shopping area near the hub to a leisure commercial zone to create something more special to the area ✌🏼
Amazing Video 💥👏
If I don't err, new area has its own subway leg from Tea-rantula besides hub, but you haven't put any stations. You can curve it across the creek and extend it to the hub. Extra transit always helps
