500,000 People Cable Car Challenge! 100% Vanilla Cities Skylines Scenario

[@gurge4420]

The challenge isn't even to transport a lot of ppl with just cable cars, the challenge for Biffa is to not use any mods.

[@riannaHermione]

Absolutely! 🤣

[@TS_Mind_Swept]

It's not a challenge *I'm* up to, that's for sure

[@tls5870]

@Maia Harland no, we dont care, spambot. And don’t bother replying with some fake saying that “it actually works” because it doesn’t

[@TS_Mind_Swept]

@Blaze Barrett now what did I say? Don’t reply that it looks good because it doesn’t. KZbin, can you be useful for a change and actually get rid of these spam bots?

[@DerBeppone]

"Let's build forestry!" "Great, just let's use those greenhouses!" - I love that nonchalant confusion! It certainly made me giggle!

[@PatrickKelso0]

New Cities Skyline mod? Unhappy citizens downvote Biffa's youtube videos...

[@TangerineUnicornDesign]

I'm literally crying with laughter. The people are dying in the freezing cold of winter because they haven't got enough heating and Biffa is running a massively expensive and unnecessary road through a frozen river bed. Followed shortly after by "I thought they were growing trees indoors. What a muppet." Best video in ages. And the soil mountain should definitely be called Mount Muppet.

Yeah, I found that if I do too much landscaping then I'm not really playing a game because I just make it too easy. Really just painting at that point.

[@bunnywarren]

@@RecklessFables One of the things that irritates me on other Biffa videos is how he doesn't work with the map, he basically just changes the map to match what he wants to do because he's not paying for it. At least here with the cost of landscaping that will/should change.

[@danielnoriega6655]

@@bunnywarren but in reality we humans also change the landscape to our desire, in mountain cities is also a common practice but obviously landscaping for a specific project, so you can see different levels of plain terrain.

You should add public transport via cable car inside the city. That could look quite cool with all the cable cars flying through the city.

I wonder how you could use cable cars through the actual city as pseudo buses for people to get around.

[@anita750]

Do continue with this series! Delete roads between little settlements and connect those with cablecarts. So various seperate housing districts and commercial/industry districts. Each with their own services. No idea if it would work, but you would force them to use cablecart ;)

make a cable car route around the city

Don’t know if you said mods weren’t allowed but there’s a Mod that allows you to create Ski Slopes but I don’t know if there classed as footpaths or public transport. If it is not a disallowed form of transport Could you use it? It would be cool to have it go from the top of your gondola to the bottom with the ski resort in the middle.

[@_qwe_fk_1700]

For the roundabout at the beginning use another road(2lanes+trees) which ‚disables‘ parking and dont put a stopsign on the highway exit.

[@leeblackadder3653]

Biffa you need to see the hill you drive down at Callas hill just outside of wanborough. It's practically like that road you exclaimed at 22:16. On google maps it don't look like much but when you drive it, it's pretty steep and out of no where as well

[@vickirothe3761]

Personally, I find the snow maps difficult to look at within a short time due to the general lack of contrast particularly in road coloration. However, I know you enjoy a challenge so I am happy to hear you being excited about this.

[@riannaHermione]

Yes, it takes money to move dirt! Hahhaa. Construction workers be like -_- . Yes.. Biffa is mod-spoiled. 😂

[@Superbogan]

Next week we build a beach side resort for skiing I think you need more tea biffa

[@Talon771]

Wasn't what I was expecting! But this is pretty cool. I don't like that you aren't using mods, though. I would agree that most of your mods are primarily cosmetic, or help with the flow of the city, and I approve of those, even for this map, since I'm sure you are going to stay true to the spirit of the map conditions. Especially the Move-It and Anarchy mods. Please use those. Also, in the challenge description, it says to get all the mods/assets (sounded like you're going to get the mods for episode 2?). I realized at the end of the video how barren the map is, without trees... lol

[@richardkannegiesser7322]

To ease traffic in this city a bit, I recommend converting roundabout roadway to two lane one-way street with trees or grass to remove roadside parking. I also recommend building a bridge over the highway entrance at the starting city limit between the dead end streets immediately next to city limit with single lane slip ramps to the next block in (next set of dead end streets in from city limit) and also convert highway roads between these slip ramps to two lane one way street with grass or trees (to get a bit of LMM and avoid roadside parking). Otherwise, keep up the good gameplay, Biffa. 👍🙂🌞😎

[@markusschlingel8287]

It's a pleasure watching you playing proper City Skyline and struggling you in missing of your lovely mods. I wonder as well, if you can manage the traffic as great like without "cheating" ;-).

Did you forget you can turn off the day-night cycle in the gameplay menu, and you can turn off the whiteness by clicking the icon on the menu on left? You don’t need mods for everything. This was a good one Biffa 👍

[@charlesabdouch3052]

You can actually just put the Ski Lodges at the top of the mountain along that road that the top cable car building was on. No need to put them down the mountain. They can all be side by side as well. Also, you don't need to connect a road from the top to the bottom if you're just putting a small village at the bottom, although you need to have police, fire, ambulance, trash, and body pickup services. People will travel the cable cars to schools and shopping. If people can't drive to shopping and schools, they are forced to use the cable cars increasing the number of people using them. The city in the valley below can just be high and low density homes with the basic services. Put multiple lifts in for skiing.

[@sirmiro2]
