I'm lovin' seeing content creators be excited about CS2 again. Glad Paradox listened.

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

Me too!

[@rocki3827]

which game do you mean

[@toddblankenship7164]

listen to what? they patched as all games do and the mods rounded out the game. literally predictable as that's how all games that rely on mods go and why I'm about to finally buy CS2 and the same reason I waited to buy CS1 as it launched like trash as well but mods rounded it out, still cant play that one vanilla.

[@Blood8563]

@@toddblankenship7164 no, my little salty friend. We are glad that Colossal Order are patching the game and LISTENING TO THE COMUNITY. If you were playing the game, you'd see how much they added of what was asked by the comunity and playerbase. They are doing what game devs should always do, but always don't. Make the game for the players, and listening to criticism and feedback. I was trashing this game for almost a year now, but since the last major update, I changed my review to positive, and I can see a amazing future for this game. You should consume less salt. It's bad for your health.

[@tomtomkowski7653]

@@toddblankenship7164 LOL No. In 99% of the cases is the opposite where devs don't listen to the community. Let's take Diablo IV as an example. For a year people have been angry that class balance doesn't exist and skills balance within each class doesn't exist. And what they did do to fix this? Oh... big nothing. There are just a couple of devs who care and listen (f.g. Cities Skylines, Last Epoch, PoE 2) but the rest don't care.

[@bw4593]

As a bus driver I demand you give us more than an alley lol. 2 way traffic in a bus on a narrow road is the most stressful part of the day 😂

[@inyobill]

Living in Germany, with a ton of small roads, I'm always looking ahead to avoid blocking busses. People riding busses aren't driving, leaving the streets that much clearer for me, Thank you very much.

[@TS_Mind_Swept]

Fair 🅱️oint, butt keep in mind that buses in these games can do much more than buses can IRL; it's even bothered me thinking about how tight of turns they're able to navigate, but it _is_ just a game, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@greenspleen385]

If they keep updating the game with updates like this the game is gonna be much more enjoyable for the console players than cs1 was

[@thereal_mikegnorp]

Why not put the medium train station alongside the river. Would've made more sense as your expanding and you don't need those quirky lines in and out of the station.

[@robertsavello4120]

Been playing CS2 casually on my couch with a controller and I gotta say the controller controls are intuitive and quite nice. Only thing missing is the ability to turn on anarchy. which is annoying. mods should allow us to bind to controller keys.

[@Studio-Ess-]

The controller controls are good. I've messed with them a few times. A little longer to do some things, but for a game built aroud KBM, they are great

[@SkillmanS]

There is an overpass for pedestrians on the train station already so the pedestrian path is not needed

[@MegaDobieDog]

Haven't played with the new train assets yet, but from what I've seen one has over pass the other has the underpass of the two small train stations.

[@StarShadowPrimal]

I saw that as well, but it might be worth confirming that it truly works and isn't just visual.

[@zenojai10]

The path is for the parking which is not connected to the station

[@knochenkotzer2461]

@@zenojai10 bs it is from the station

[@MegaDobieDog]

@@StarShadowPrimal Can confirm. They have the invisible pedestrian paths that should automatically connect to any other network.

[@Kopa_Malphas]

Tears of joy when Biffa connected that clinic to the main roadways.

[@ConnorMcCar13]

Just opened KZbin to this amazing video

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

Enjoy :-)

[@Aeonsoulful]

Seeing all the new content being used in such a creative way is amazing! Anarchy is your friend, it's like putting a pillow over the games head to convince it that the rail line was always there before you even thought about purchasing any tiles, or that highway that might suddenly appear overnight. 😃

[@JoeBeeching]

I think people are turning round in that office car park because of the missing turns at the highway junction near the forestry industry

[@macaidwin]

Let's imagine the walking bridge build in to the station is in bad shape and has fallen into disuse😉 like in many stations in the UK. Very nice build again, was a joy to watch.

[@rfknol]

CS2 starts to look like CS1, but with more and better options an I like that very much!

[@shaneintheuk2026]

I’ve loaded up the game for the first time in six months and have started a new city. The new economy is not a problem so long as you don’t build anything too big for your starting village and do the normal things like reducing your budgets to 50% until you need to increase them. I managed to “lose” a city by buying a water treatment plant too soon but that’s just the sort of thing you need to keep it interesting. Unlocking the specialist industry early really helped as I could put down farms and forestry from the start. It is a game again which is such a relief. My one problem is that the Zoning is broken and doesn’t look like it is going to be fixed anytime soon 😢 I’m making do with paths but it’s a pain. Keep up the good work and I would love to see you run a mini series on starting a city with Economy 2.0

[@MichaelGreen831]

School parking lots in my personal experience never required students to cross streets to get from their car to the school. They were always directly attached.

[@chazman4461]

The schools where I lived had three blocks of seperated parking lots. There was not enough room to attach them to the school property.

[@Swarm509]

@@chazman4461 Seen this too. Usually just sticking the lots wherever they would fit around existing buildings/areas.

[@rct3nut74]

The middle school i attended had 3 parking lots, 2 next to the school and one across the street. Crossing guards would stop traffic so we could cross

[@hugolencastre3337]

When you are placing the extra buildings, there is a option to stop grabbing to the building and allow it to grab to the road ;)

[@hugolencastre3337]

also when you have 2 roads side by side and the snapping is to the one you don't want, do right click, normally it works nice and start snapping to the other role

[@jakobwest4811]

These two patches pulled me back in 100%. I love the new things they added.

[@Macronaso]

The only big roadblock left for this game is full mod support. We need the big modded assets collection we used to have.

[@TheDrew2022]

@40:40 Those are North American freight locomotives. They're modeled after the GE Evolution Series (ES44/ET44).

[@sugiz2067]

Wooo we're so back baby!! Glad to have a ton of CS content on my feed again.

[@MrKristijanP]

Why not an underpass for pedestrians under the tracks? Less chance of electrocution.

[@old_printer]

Nice video, Biffa! I have a suggestion for Cities: Skylines 2 that could really enhance the game's realism and aesthetic appeal. Could you please suggest to the developers the addition of shops without front parking and residential zones without parking lots? By eliminating front parking for shops, we can create bustling, pedestrian-friendly commercial areas that encourage walking and community interaction. For residential zones, removing parking lots would allow for more green spaces, parks, and beautifully designed streetscapes, fostering a sense of neighborhood and enhancing the overall visual appeal of the city. This change would not only make the game more immersive but also promote a more realistic urban design, reflecting how many modern cities are evolving towards more sustainable and pedestrian-oriented environments. Thanks for considering this idea and for continuously delivering fantastic content. Keep up the great work!

[@SethDueck]

Hey Biffa this was your best video in a while. I enjoy almost all of your cs2 videos (I almost only watch these ;)) but this one got an A+! Please keep it up!!!!

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

Thankyou 😊 😊 😊

[@kennethporst1738]

Biffa Remember that Trains are VERY loud and shake the ground...so I would add sound dampening around the houses like Thick Wooded Trees.

[@carriegarrisonvos4433]

Love to hear you kidding and such again. Everyone was so weary of CS2 and to see you invigorated again is priceless!! I hope they continue doing more and more to draw us all in again!! Worried about the crash but thank goodness it wasn't too much! Lovely video today 😁 I'm becoming more and more interested in CS2 again!

[@noahkohn9350]

I think the fence blocks the entrance to the building on the corner, next to the office you flipped around.

[@ryancomfy]

That was the best little bus stop, top road shenanigans!!

[@BryanFritchie]

Your train lines were sorted by name. So once you renamed them the same thing, they were actually correct even before your crash.

[@SleepyCities]

I'm praying for more shortcuts or customise shortcuts. Example, when open road pressing 1-5 switches the road to straight, curved, complex curve, continuous, replace. Would make it so handy, as well as a key to open roads

[@Grazyfarmer]

The only problem I have now with the new patches, they didn't make adjustments to the game maps. Like rails for the trains to get traffic a bit relaxter. but also oil,ore and other stuff still in the old place so it takes pretty long to get your city bigger.

[@Bradbeard-nv1vo]

Devs need to rework the hvac on the building at 3:10

[@brendonmeldrum6051]

Oh No 😂

[@notorioz810]

How do you move stuff up and down with Move-it?????? That’s mindblowing

[@tigonologdring9189]

PgUp/PgDn works in both "regular" and "Manipulation" modes

[@sharpless]

I'm thinking that maybe re-enable paid parking at the train station could be a better option than building more, particularly if you also add a few bus routes (and make sure it is easy to walk between the stations)

[@ChrisDombroski]

It feels like the depot vehicle amount needs to be more or the default number of vehicles on routes needs to be less (with higher capacity to compensate?). It's nutty that placing just a few lines runs your depot out of vehicles

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

I might need to make some adjustments 👍

[@angrycrow13]

I love the variety of buildings you can use now. Getting some great ideas from this video.

[@skriks1]

11:03 Did adding the second path sever the connection with the alleyway? I know it's an issue in CS1, so just curious if it's still the same here

[@Zensimilla]

3:11 The placement of the ventilation on that roof is looking very suspicious.. 😬

[@Eyrax]

Nice video. I have just a hint. There seem to be a problem with the train depot and your cargo train station. They are connected via single train track. In minute 40:45 you can see the two trains being stuck and blocking each other because they don’t have enough space to shunt.

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

👍

[@LukeKozak-g1q]

I love how he removed street parking saying he wanted people to pay for parking at a train station, only to say 5 mins later lets make it free for the train people :P

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

I'm an enigma, wrapped in a riddle 😅

[@fnarusevicius]

Looks like that the cargo lines have 3 trains each but the transport lines have just 1 and 0. Maybe you should take a look and adjust it.

[@ptg1204]

I still see a lot of taxis. I would suggest baby to feel more bus stops closer together the residential areas to help with the commute to work and shopping centers

Probably no surprise to anyone, zoning control seems to only happen when a road is drawn. If you need to change (remove/add) zoning to a road, the road needs to be deleted and redrawn.

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

[@inyobill]

Half-eleven or halb-zwölf, as you prefer, gotta finish watching tomorrow. 'Night, all.

[@bradarmstrong3952]

I would suggest leaving the parking fees turned on for the two new lots you added for the passenger station. I think this would tend to shift the folks from the neighboring buildings/shops to other places to park, leaving more space in these lots for the tourists who will be more likely to pay to park their cars as they get on the trains to travel. It's too bad there's not an option to designate a parking lot as "long term parking" which could be used to encourage the same sort of behavior, independent of the amount of the parking fee. Such an option would be useful near airports and ports in built up areas as well.

[@elboletaire]

The zoning "tool" actually does not work as you said, but if you have a zoning defined and build a new road it will place it with the selected zoning.. I've been removing streets these days just to put them again without zoning due to this.. not handy but it works at least. I wonder why the mod doesn't use the road upgrade tool rather than having a custom one, but that's another matter

[@Rantyy]

does anyone know if there is a list of mods biffa currently uses?

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

Yes on my discord 👍

[@trainformerd4134]

Idk about that railway I think u should make the railway go through the city because then the city is built around the railway which is good other transportation connections

[@MleonardPT]

Can you share the mods you're using? If skyve allows to share mod list

[@Mephora]

Making people pay for parking at a train station feels counter productive in encouraging people to leave their cars behind and take a train instead.

😂 Had to start again after the economy 2 update and I'm loving the more challenging economy. Has anyone else had the issue of only being able to run to place 2 bus stops in the small bus station even though it has room for three, somehow the middle space won't accept a line?!

[@Guardianapophis]

the space where the trainstation now is was empty for a while.. why not call it Emptea Fields Station?

Why create a pedestrian bridge to get to the train station instead of flipping the train station to face the parking lots? Especially since nobody can park on the street facing the entrance?

[@DanRamone81]

those parkings by the train station should not be free...people coming by train don't need it, and we want that people that take the train and go to spend money in other city pay our parking, and those going to shop also :D don't bee to nice biffa we need to make money for schools and for public transports! if parkings are free people will rather use the car

Is it just me or did Biffa use a lot of roads without pedestrian access around the new bus and train station? Having a viaduct over trains to the carpark is nice but it does not help if those people cannot get to mass transport.

[@AKStovall]

but it's getting better, because they're listening and fixing the issues. EA, Rockstar, Bethesda all release crappy, buggy products that aren't complete, then offer the fixes in PAID DLC... and you buy the heck out of them at 70-90 bucks a shot, don't you. But then you criticize CO/Paradox for NOT doing it that way? but then you'd probably complain if they released a perfect product, because it didn't have a mod you liked from CS1, already implemented in the game.
