All Suburbs Should be Designed Like This in Cities Skylines 2!

[@leegamer2877]

Curved zoning and buildings is a DLC/update I would really love to see. Probably one of the most overlooked things about CS2 IMO.

[@LongJourneys]

would be cool if you could literally zone lots in the same way you create zones for like the industry areas and landfill (more like real life). But I also get that that could eat up memory really fast because instead of just keeping track of a set number of squares off of a road, you'd have to be keeping track of tons of little plot points for each lot. Maybe in 10 years or so.

[@jonathanpierpont389]

Acorn Estates would be good due to the shape of the cul-de-sacs.

[@TechyMantis]

They would have branches everywhere

[@thenamelesspoet]

Oh Great idea!

[@tigonologdring9189]

Nice cul-de-sacs... maybe it's worthwhile sending the _Industry_ _Express_ along the central street with a stop midway on each side. Or even stops at each end to allow for transfers to/from the circular... just a thought.

[@carriegarrisonvos4433]

Well I know of an area here called Oak Ridge and I know you can make tea from an Oak tree, so maybe Oak Tea Ridge? Or something with Oak Tea in it. Oak tea, which is made from oak tree leaves, has a flavor profile somewhere between green and black teas. It boasts a floral aroma and a sweet, woodsy taste1. If you enjoy the flavors of tea leaves or black tea, you might find oak tea intriguing! 🍵🌿

At 6:30, you don't need to draw those extra roads out to get what you wanted. When using the road tool with straight selection double click on the part of the road where you want to add that extra node to work as an end point for your upgrade. After that simply upgrade the section you were planning on.

[@stephenclark9917]

To get to work the people in Hawthorn cul de sacs need to travel half a city away, in the wrong direction, from the jobs/industry to then catch the shuttle and come back to pass where they started. Add some stops to the shuttle.

[@aihsonavais769]

He’s building an American suburb /j

[@FreakyFerret]

At 37:12, if he added the industry shuttle to the 2 stops in the center of the screen (by the copied apartment complex), that would solve the problem. People can take the Red or Yellow line to get to those stops, then go the Industrial. Returning would be the same. Need a crosswalk at the area as well. Bus lines stay the same length, but now people can minimize their ride time.

[@montykenrick1004]

The detailing is next level. I can’t wait to see where this city goes.

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

Thankyou 🙏

[@montykenrick1004]

@@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines as someone who lives on a cul-de-sack I’m glad to see them being used

[@wteff8586]

I think the express bus needs at least one more stop (I'd suggest by the new suburban type area) so peoplecan get on there or change line to get to places that are not right by the bus port

[@BluBuryPi]

Not sure if you know Biffa, but it you want to upgrade just a section of road, instead of drawing out from where you want the upgrade to start, just double click and it will add a new node to the road. It's not a huge change but then you don't need to delete a piece of road later, plus you use this tip when you already have buildings zoned.

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

👍

[@Alexa-ub2qh]

I love the "beef up public transportation" picture. Perfection!

[@ChaserYohmoi]

Name idea: Oak Tea Hills On another note, the houses that back up to those outside roads would have a sound barrier walls/fencing to keep that road noise out of their backyards

[@minotaursgamezone]

biffa you have got to get rid of these awful bot comments!

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

Done. I usually get to it as soon as a video releases, but it's Sunday so....

[@LateralTwitlerLT]

I wish the buildings were larger, as they're mostly way too small compared to the cars. Especially compared to apartment buildings. But I guess that's CS2's smallest problem. Still... Clink that spoon on this lovely Sunday, Biffa.

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

I shall 👍😊

[@elise3455]

It's simulating the current American car culture trend towards oversized trucks 🙃

[@colliefields4637]

For a suggestion to change Hawthorn Junctions name. In Boston, Lincolnshire there is a primary school named "Hawthorn Tree School" that I used to go to when I was a child (5-6 years old). You could name the district "Hawthorn Tea" as a sort of reference to the school (if you ever add a primary school in, it could adopt the very name its self).

[@SavageDiffguy]

Teakwood Springs "Teak" combines elements of "tea" and "oak," while "wood" relates to trees in general, including oaks. "Springs" adds a sense of a natural, serene environment. In general I think it's a great name for a suburb.

[@Mike__B]

Gotta say, the roundabout as a make shift cul de sac looks quite useful and nice, although I would suggest making that a one lane/one way road

[@benjaminbauer6301]

Cul the sac is french and literally means "bottom (or a*s) of a bag. So you could name the new neighbourhood "Culi thé sac" Culi is a type of tea, thé is french for tea and sac for bag. So its translated to "culi tea bag".

[@elise3455]

31:40 Yeah I definitely prefer the original color scheme! The teal and ultra-green trees were a bit much :P

[@AmberGTL]

Just popping in to say thanks for all the top notch content lately!! You’re killing it and we’re loving it 🎉😊

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

Thankyou so much 👍😀

[@williamgill2450]

I have noticed that you have been building up the housing but you haven't really a lot of jobs. Maybe building the industry area will help with some of your high rent.

[@AndrewNewsome-gk6ku]

"Improve walkability'. Your developments are the best Biffa! I wish American Development put in as much walkability as you did Biffa, then our suburbs wouldn't be so stuffy and depressing.

[@ThatGuy-6669]

You have a knack for making beautiful cities. I wish I were as patient and detail oriented as you. Hey, can you do a high rent fix video? I'm struggling a bit with that. Dunno if it's my mods or what.

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

High rent in CS2 is something being fixed in an upcoming patch 👍

[@roybmanofmerlin]

I noticed that the Cul-de-sacs collectively from above look like the way scalextric tracks connect together, I'm sure there's a tea twisted pun there for that area 🏎

[@SoSiriusMusic]

Would’ve been cool to take all of the back gardens of the homes and stretch them to make the best use of the space like they do here in England

[@patrikhjorth3291]

I second the suggestion of "Acorn Estates". If I recall correctly, acorns were used as substitute for tea and coffee during the World Wars, so it kind of fits the theme.

[@yutti311]

The walking paths in the cul-de-sac neighborhoods should connect to the actual cul-de-sac. If you lived at the end of one, you'd have to walk down the end of the road and back to get to the road 5 meters behind your house.

[@senffabrik4903]

"Spoon Drawer" as name for the new distict. All that cul de sacs looks like spoons ^^

[@arihantbhattacharjee]

Hey, Biffa! I've been watching your CS series for quite a while now. Detailing aside, I really like your functional and thoughtful approaches to expanding your city. I also find your commentary VERY relaxing. Please keep making videos like this :)

[@roybmanofmerlin]

Hi Biffa, love the cul-de-sacs, just beautiful. Your bus creation could be a Transport Encapsulated Alcove, or T.E.A for short 🙂

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

Great idea!

[@dhart.3]

I really think there should be fire, ambulance, and police stations near Hawthorne and Crest Streets to provide closer coverage of the new development and the industrial areas.

[@mantabloke8141]

Oak Tea villas for the new zone

[@MrPrplmonky]

Since the oak tress are in the center of the cul-de-sacs, I think a fitting name for the neighborhood would be 'Central Oaks'.

[@husbeard]

I really thought they fixed the "high rent" issue. Looks to be as strong as ever. :D

[@robertalbers2740]

Your content is a big part of my relaxation time, feet up, big brew, biscuits, and Biffa. I thank you!

[@DrakeGamer85]

I reckon that suburb district, with all those circular drives at the end of each cul-de-sac could be either Roundabout Fan Base, or.... Dun' Stirring. I must admit... I already leaning toward Dun'Stirring, for obvious reasons! Now give yourself a cup of tea and some biccies, mate! 😻

[@Eanruig]

Hey Biffa. I liked the episode very much. Loved the new cul de sac area. I only think that the roundabouts in the cul de sac could be one way. Would have more of the feeling of a small community area.

[@LEE_MASON_]

There should be a realisted alley mod, where they're all filled with broken old bikes, bags of rubbish, discarded needles, and an occasional lorry fly tipping all their shit there. Somebody should make that mod.

[@JustaGuy_Gaming]

I can't help but look at this from a CS 1 perspective and think how horrible the traffic would be. An amazing feature/mod would be being able to load your cities in the other game. Even if some features were lost, just copying road/zoning would be neat to see how it would run.

[@ic_trab]

You should add back Traffic Light Enhancement, works absolutely fine with Traffic.

[@Harbinge]

Oaky Oaks Name of the new district

[@Blutaar42]

Those Cul de Sacs remind me of Haveforeningen Harekær in Denmark. obliviously on a smaller scale due to game limitations but still. So how about something like tekande gardens for the district? if memory serves tekande is the danish word for tea pot.

I'd love to know what grass texture Biffs is using for this city. It's so nice as opposed to the default plain grass

[@BrassStagg]

You should have a “Tea Tree” estates or just call it “Melaleuca Estates”. It’s kind of tea related.😛

[@Malcontent88]

Realistically you wouldn’t have bus stops directly across from each other due to the fact you’d have traffic issues if busses were to stop at either stops at the same time
