this city fix was so satisfying to watch, who knew meteor strikes could be so needed and well-aimed 😂 can’t wait for the next part!

[@leeroberts1192]

Good thing Biffa didn't have the Ragnarok mod installed and turned on. The Ragnarok mod when set to maximum can make some massive craters

[@sportsdude413]

Hey all! Wanted to say thanks Biffa for taking the time to fix my city! Loved the meteors at the start! And excited to see where you go with it, truly did not expect this and I am very grateful! Also, for those who were wondering why the Steam Community link wasn't working under the video (seen a few comments about it and tried it myself): I found the issue! The link posted has an extra digit added at the end. Remove the last 3 and it should work!

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

Thank you for sending it in, been great fun so far! :-)

[@capedkat]

I loved this! Please feel free to make this a series of many episodes, if I ever have a say in it. Surely the public transit needs attention, but I think the road spaghetti could do with some more untangling if you will.

[@lefterismplanas4977]

I wanna see mass transit beeing handled next in this city. And if you find more 2-3 episode fixes, don't be afraid to sprinkle them in from time to time between the smaller, one episode ones

[@juanjodpr]

This is clearly the city of a beginner who has been slowly building the roads. This player must have watched a few of your videos regarding lane mathematics but still got overwhelmed by the sheer amount of traffic. More and more roads were added trying to reduce the traffic until the collapse happened. I started pretty much like this, without giving thought to priority, roundabouts, speed limits....It's really nice to see a city coming back to life after being pretty much doomed.

[@tobiasalexander4491]

Well this is definitely a fun one! I think half your problem with the dogbone and some of those other interchanges is that you destroyed pretty much all the connectivity across the highway and haven't replaced it yet. Instead, you just have a couple of interchanges. Put more North-south (crossing the new highway) connector/collectors in and I think you'll relieve a lot of the pressure on those junctions. Then sort out the transit...

[@ahmedkaif5063]

I recommended something similar in my comment ! Give it a read too...

[@patrion6028]

Sending *all* the traffic via the highway is indeed the biggest issue right now. Give the highway some relief, allow cross connectivity, public transport and walkability, and it will improve massively.

[@Steveddie93]

Hey Biffa, great video! That was a real city fix! One thing. When you're using the network myltitool, create connection tool, you can move the curve by pulling the center point, but also widen the curve by pulling at the edge of the circles.

[@Nasdegoma]

I made my first BIG city on this map. Now I'm playing Murky Coast again with my multi-year experience (and heavy modded). What a surprise you are fixing traffic on the same map. Love it!

[@dandiehm8414]

Looking forward to part 2. Hopefully there is a part 3! These types of videos are why I subscribed to the channel. Keep up the great work, Biffa. And good luck on your house move.

[@timber9705]

Yes. Would rather see these type of videos than the city builds on always flat land. Nice to see how to deal with uneven terrain besides just leveling it.

[@ahmedkaif5063]

These are my connectivity and highway access related suggestions: 1. The 2-teir T - highway intersection to the left of the map (on the peninsula south of the old airport district) should be changed to 4 way system interchange, with a new full fledged highway crossing the river, and directly servicing the airports, instead of the arterial placed in this video. 2. The collectors running N-S should have some overpasses(Vanilla overpass Project) to overpass junctions and roundabouts closer to the E-W highway. This will provide tremendous relief to the traffic en route to places far away from the highway. 3. SPUI is not considered a high capacity interchange (especially ones without slip lanes). Change the SPUI with a PARCLO. Here are some terrain related suggestions: 1. Tunnelify the roads which are cutting through weird terraces. 2. The dog bone should be grounded.

[@Sassi7997]

He's a Brit. They don't do road tunnels. Instead they really love their railway tunnels.

[@nohax8232]

Wow, so many traffic fixes lately. It really brings me to 2019 again !

[@tilenkos2065]

Biffa at the beginning: *destroys everything w meteors and landscapes everything to the same height through hilly terrain* Biffa at 19:40: "why are these buildings so much higher than the highway?"

[@kaltaron1284]

Working with the terrain means flattening whatever sticks out for Biffa.

[@sharpless]

Think one of the issues is that the interchanges you downloaded are for RHT, but you have a LHT city

[@PokoTheDinosaur]

What’s that mean

[@sharpless]

@@PokoTheDinosaur RHT and LHT is right/left handed traffic, that is if you drive on the right or left side of the road. And this matters when it comes to interchanges, since those are asymmetrical.

[@PokoTheDinosaur]

@@sharpless oh

[@uiopisreal9966]

I dont think that thats an issue

[@Talon771]

27:00 Did not like the whole mountain being flattened. :( Tunnels, bro.

[@alfiand9269]

Finally someone giving biffa some difficult fixing! So we get more episodes out of it, thank you stranger! And of course thank you biffa for keep giving us great quality entertainment!

[@GeeWillikaz]

You can increase the radius on the S tool to prevent the steep turns and make a more natural bend.

[@stevengalloway8052]

Nice! I like the steady working up towards clearing traffic, Biffa. And you're so humble when you do it, too! 😆

[@kimmipops5143]

SPUI = single point urban interchange 😊 Another happy traffic fix well done - keep up the great work 🙏🏼🤩

[@carpemkarzi]

First-good luck on the move. Second- that was the most brilliant way to start this fix. Only a natural disaster can save this city. Also it just boggles the mind when I see buildings on the traffic circles…have these people never seen one? We don’t have many here in my neck of the woods but man.

[@beningram1811]

The next thing I'd do is connect the parts of the city, without using the highway. You built it up high so the roads could go underneath it, and then most of the work you've done has been to allow them highway access. Then fix buses, trams, train, helicopters, planes, and whatever other transport solutions are needed. THEN check to make sure the needs of the city are met, and weren't destroyed by meteor strike.

[@jaker2542]

Biffa if you ever get a chance to drive through Tennessee they really did cut literally a hundred feet down through a mountain to level the highway just like this 23:37

[@beningram1811]

i was thinking "just make a tunnel... just make a TUNNEL... JUST... BIFFA! oh never mind"

[@capedkat]

I'd be scared to drive through that I think. Is it scary?

[@jaker2542]

@@capedkat on the contrary, it's pretty amazing. Like driving back through time

[@capedkat]

@@jaker2542 Now you have my attention. That's interesting. Back to when though?

[@Matej_Sojka]

Please reconnect the underground lines. Even if you are gonna redo them later right now you have lots of vehicles and metro stuck because your meteor strikes destroyed underground sections.

[@larkendelvie]

LOL Thanks Biffa -- Just an FYI there are no bugs only features 😀 My suggestions are to add another connection for the area in the upper right to one of the highways (I'm not sure they actually have connection but instead just have bridges over the highways). The other items are to redo metro and bus lines. Don't forget to clean up all the airport stuff.

[@ChristianWeitz]

Hey, Biffa. You could put the Eightabout in the Dogbone Interchange to Groundlevel, and elevate the Highway over it, that would make it look much better ;)

[@ahmedkaif5063]

I recommended some similar terrain related fixes in my comment ! Give that a read too, if you may...

[@toneDef77]

10:00 you're using the wrong tool for these connections, and they look janky as a result. Unless you need really complex connections with multiple curves, use the "Create curve mode" rather than the "Create connection mode".

[@costa2k1]

Didnt even get notified but I'm here as I coincidentally checked the channel

[@avtshubhashy]

[@ViolintKitty]

Same - this wasn’t pushed into my notifications and I’m always an early viewer. Y T ?? Still glad we have a new Biffa 😃

[@dukereilly7626]

Same here, but new biffa is always grand

[@edwardmiessner6502]

Man, Biffa, that city was quite a mess! But right after the meteor strike I would have reconnected the underground metro lines and the railways to provide alternate ways to get around while fixing the traffic. And another solution was in the cards and still is: by-pass ring roads!

[@leftcoastfunk]

21:00 maybe it's just me but it looks like you lowered everything down like you wanted, and then with "slope objects" they mostly went back up to their previous heights lol. There's still quite a bit of slope on some of those roads in this section

[@RAI-1911]

The spaghetti interchange is always a meteorite magnet XD

[@davidmunoz8171]

May be a bit late, but I was going to mention that the "dogbone" interchange could be treated as a roundabout if not yet set up. Goodluck!

[@homietclown]

Woo Hoo like number 39! Alright more urban planning with meteors. That’s a great start Biffa.

[@carriegarrisonvos4433]

Looking forward to part 2!!! Lordy that's a mess to start with but already improving. I have no doubts the Master Traffic Fixer will save the day! 🤩💪

[@Gary87]

Good luck with your move Biffa, make sure you keep your kettle in reach for those needed cups of tea!

[@terencyowens9491]

Looking forward to part 2. Your best bet is a complete rebuild of the city's mass transit system from the ground up.

[@lefterismplanas4977]

I love the cold start with the meteors xD

[@robdel_actual]

Since watching biffa for many years, horkie borkie has become an integral part of my vocabulary.

[@leftcoastfunk]

I really don't think you want an SPUI there, seems like a much higher-capacity interchange would have much better capability for that middle area

[@markknudsen1755]

At 14:30 ish, what about making the bridge curve over the river? That would've helped soften everything else. Nice fix!

[@Gary87]

That train line was crazy! Imagine taking a train through all of those corners and zigzags, plus between high rise housing!

[@kittvulpin]

When you leveled that mountain the only thing I could think was City Planner would be cringing so hard 😂😂😂

Did we ever get a part 2 for this one? Have been anxiously waiting!!!

[@michelanvalo]

I swear people make their city bad on purpose just to send in

[@morganunraveled]

I have thought the same but I honestly enjoy watching Biffa fix them either way. but it does suck that these potentially manufactured fix-it submissions probably result in missing out on cities from viewers that really want their city fixed for them to be playable.

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

Nah, not everyone is at the same level as everyone else you see on KZbin 👍

[@simongeard4824]

Air traffic control must be fun in that city... five airports, heliports, a rocket launch facility and a space elevator, all crammed into a very tight aviation precinct.

[@Michelle_Klinge]

There is no traffic to fix, if there’s no traffic to fix! 👍

[@85Y]

i never use buses in my cities anymore due to the traffic they make. i stick to trains, metro, ferries and airport

[@circuitgamer7759]

I have a potentially interesting idea. Have someone send you a city with very good traffic, and do your best to break it as much as you can with as few changes as possible.

[@Yay295]

I do like most of your fixes here, and appreciate your dedication to not ripping everything out and restarting (even in this video; I've seen other people who basically redo the entire city while you still worked with what already existed), but you seem to really struggle with having things at different elevations. I wonder if it's partly because you're usually looking at it with a top-down view, so you don't notice the elevation differences as much?

[@lauraproulx4684]

I love how you just kept the meteor mess! I was expecting you to reset it for sure

[@udeernsrihariqtc]

This is the prime example of why you shouldn't use spaghetti everywhere. They are good to eat! Not of anything Else. Keep up the work Biffa. Am a huge fan of you. You were the inspiration for me to start playing Cities: Skylines. Can't wait for more videos.

[@kaltaron1284]

They also make a pretty decent wig if you have to disguise a mummy as a human. You should spruce it up with a fork of course.

[@Bluescreen_1]

I'd love to see you changing the cities road hierarchy next. I think it'll be a massive boost to traffic flow if the highway exits are connected properly to collector roads which spread and collect traffic throughout the city. Afterwards I'd like a focus on the mass transit, which could be cancelled completely before continuing with anything at all. I mean.. half the congestion was busses, right? :D

[@nedimmrsic4650]

i feel like my city would look like this only if i had a stroke and decided to play..

[@Styrestian]

Instead of terraforming you should have a tunnel there. 😅. If you connect the airport and fix the train-line you loose a lot of traffic . Now everyone need to drive into the city. I would like to see you redo all lines of bus and metro. Maybe make one area pedestrian-friendly. North of the city it may need a shortcut too. 😅 Looking forward to see what you are going to do. 🎉

[@jackimo22]

anyone else notice he's forgetting to press Alt to increase the radius of bends using the connection tool?

[@jackimo22]

@@methosmomomax7470 This is maybe the 5th episode I’ve watched where Biffa adjusted the corner spacing while talking about adjusting the bend radius. I guess he’s under a lot of external pressure with his life atm and can’t put all the focus he usually would into builds

Building a service interchange for a bypass highway may not be the optimal solution, hope it works

[@TS_Mind_Swept]

I'm sure someone's probably mentioned this already, but at some point of smoothing out the meteor strikes, I think you changed the terrain elevation quite significantly.. but I suppose you can't make an omelet without breaking a few eggs, and there were definitely a few to break here..

[@mikes6973]

Max is great for helping others out in the Steam forums. His interchanges are a hit.

[@thesheq5023]

I feel like you would have more success with the highway if you made it a regional and expressway- one with connections and one with essentially a straight though system that basketweaves in a couple strategic places. Also a ring road would probably be beneficial. Additionally the connection by the airports to connect to the other highway as well and continue south would be a good idea

[@--_DJ_--]

I like to take those slim service enterances and add additional exits and entrances and make the on/off ramps 2 lanes (one each way). You can make it so none of the traffic has to cross each other's path. Makes for moving a lot of traffic through very small junctions.

[@alohatigers1199]

Hopefully this isn't the end of the city fixes now Cities Skylines 2 is coming out. Though even if its switching to CS:2 city fixes I'll be happy. I wish I'd sent in one of my cities, because even now I'm struggling with intense traffic management (current city is around 60k in size and tourists are the prime culprits).

[@andromidius]

Update: gave up on yet another city because the traffic refuses to be fixed. I do EVERYTHING properly. I use every tip and trick - traffic still sucks. Proper road hierarchy, lots of public transit, huge cargo hubs spread across the city. Yet every single time - traffic everywhere, corpses everywhere, nothing gets moved, people scream at me because they won't get off the road. Its so frustrating. The AI in Cities Skylines just breaks at a certain point even with all the mods. I wish there was just a 'nuke city' option to wipe it off the map the way it frustrates me. At least the CS:2 AI seems to be better where traffic adapts to flow. But in CS:1? Its dumber then water. Literally dumber then water. Even when you baby handle it, somehow it still breaks itself.

[@rubenvdfdecloedt4824]

Biffa, why don't you work with the terrain instead of flattening it?

[@mmomox]

I prefer flattening in this case. Working with terrain can only really be done effectively as you are initially building. There are many places where roads are cut through hills and such in the US.

When the roads on both sides of the highway that you want to connect together are _higher_ than the highway, wouldn't it be easier just to build a great big viaduct across the valley rather than lowering half the city by 100m and leaving side roads so steep you need a ladder? 🤔🤔
