On a side note, I remember the Biffa from the Banished days, and now, look at you, another step closer to the Million-mark club. Never change and thank you for all the entertainment.

Thankyou ☺️ 🙏

I've heard that Teaside was historically represented in Parliament by the Earl Grey. It's a place with real history

[@nknkannadiga9742]

Finally, a new video on this city. I've been waiting ✋️.

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

Hope you enjoyed it! :-)

[@elsbethbeard7351]

So, so glad that you're back with CS1! As someone who only joined the CS world as everything was gearing up for CS2 it's very exciting to see content in real time. Really love the retaining wall with the stairs, but get rid of the other one! You could keep it against the road but just slope the hill gradient from the stairs retaining wall into the open area behind so that people can actually access it. Also I second all of the roundabout comments. Thank you so much for your content Biffa, and it is great to see you back at what you enjoy!

[@Jacob-W-5570]

if you build a footh path, from your keywall with stairs, to the terrace houses, that would form a nice shortcut for the masses of people living there to go to the tesco

[@Jezato]

That river should be called "The Teames"

[@EmeryKatz]

Biffa has to be the most calming KZbinr I’ve ever seen 😃 Great vid I love how chill this series is!

[@Anomnomnomaly]

I always think that one of the flaws in all your cities... is the determination to try and flatten the ground everywhere and try to put gradients in. Everywhere you go, you see tiered levels, retaining walls and so forth... and behind the wall 15ft lower down is a big industrial park or supermarket and there's a road that curves down and around to parking. I always feel you should do more of that to your cities and work with the uneven ground rather than flattening it all out. As ever, love to see CS1 getting more attention. I'd entirely given up on anything for CS2 until such a time as they actually make it a working, usable game (so maybe a few yrs)

[@jaypeeters]

You are absolutely right! I know it is just a game, but still...

[@SmallFry140]

This here is what I love about CS1! The detailing you can do. On my favorite save file, I created all the shopping districts by hand. It took a long time, but it is so satisfying to look at in the end. All the tools and assets available make it possible to recreate anything you can imagine. I just don't get the same thrill clicking the blue tiles and seeing what the game decides it wants to throw in there.

[@inyobill]

I understand the folks that love detailing, it's a talent like other arts. I just don't have the patience.

[@SmallFry140]

@@inyobill :D Think of it like building a 5000 piece puzzle. It would relax half the people, but drive the other half nuts. LOL!

[@inyobill]

@@SmallFry140 Good analogy

[@alexbrighton2932]

I think when you were having issues with the surface painting, you had the bulldozer tool open. I think that was overriding the surface you were trying to put down, when you clicked it was essentially trying to buldoze thin air. You could also have a mini roundabout by your BP station so people could get fuel without having to get near the shop. Or even a second entrance to the smaller residential road. Loving the series so far!

[@V8HiluxZX6R]

Add the gym & spa etc. health assesst, once they are unlocked, in the blank area next to Tesco.

[@666JGNotts]

Looking good …. But ….. I would expect a mini roundabout in front of the Tesco store so that if I only wanted petrol, I could then exit without going all the way around the back of Tesco 😊

[@CouchPotator]

I would expect a U-turn area, but then again, made this way is common in the UK?

[@666JGNotts]

@@CouchPotator No not in my experience. You would be able to visit that fuel station without having to drive around the rest.

[@petermcinnes6987]

Spot on. I mean, they're a total disaster usually, loads of near misses, but there would almost definitely be a roundabout

Fantastic build there Biffa, I'm sure in the future CS2 will have a few mods like this so we can create a UK city on the new platform. Loving your content especially the CS1 and of course CS2 builds.

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

Thankyou ☺️

[@MathewBall]

I'm not too fond of the key wall it's overthinking it and it makes it look too busy. I like the natural cliff look instead, but each to their own. Nonetheless, It's looking good. 👍🏼😀👍🏼

[@BeierleProductions]

How we doing sir? All I want to say is thank you for still playing City skylines. I know there's a few bugs and whatnot but it still plays amazing and it looks great and people can still be creative. I don't know why people are complaining so bad about it. But thank you again for still recording episodes of City skylines.

[@BeierleProductions]

Okay okay I didn't realize it was the first one. Still nice to see something city skylines.

[@jayzo]

Shame it's not a coastal city (Although I suppose you could call the river the river tea 🎵 _Oh I do like to be beside the Teaside..._ 🎵 etc

[@CouchPotator]

4:30 oh good, you realized you needed the parking lot road (no spaces) to properly connect the back alley. I'd suggest that, instead of the industrial and normal roads, you replace ALL of the roads with the parking lot road. (unless in the UK it's common for shopping centers to use different alley roads?)

[@memofromessex]

I do think you need the 1u roads. British road design is essentially where it fits, so smaller roads are more common.

[@amancalledlee4369]

You should have a roundabout at the into the Tesco…. That way they can use petrol station and leave. That’s the usual layout for a large retail park!

[@themaster5842]

Oh man, that’s the same Tesco that Blightea on the Wold had! Miss that city a lot, but great to see you back in CS1 and in the UK! Keep up the great work, more of this please! 👌🏻

[@sirshaked]

Please make more Cities Skylines

[@gyngertano5409]

The wave is back!!! I think the space next to it would be perfect for some blocks of flats. Posh ones with gardens.

[@brucer2152]

Biffa...mate....you put in the quay wall with stairs so people could get down to the shops. But then you put in another wall behind that has no access to the lower quay access!?!?!?

[@Chef_PC]

I'm honestly very surprised that there isn't already a River Tea in the UK.

[@carriegarrisonvos4433]

You have got to love all of the mods and how you can do so much with them in CS1. I can hear the happy Biffa while you are building this. It's like second nature and we all love to see it. Looking spiffy!! 🤩

[@JarFace6661]

Outside Tesco when you created the delivery points. You forgot to turn off deliveries and garbage at the front

[@antipoetic1223]

these are some of my favorite videos to vibe out to, biffas voice is so soothing i could listen to him detail all day!

[@nikkia9506]

You could call a new area Tea Bag End in a homage to Tolkein. I might suggest that someday.

[@petesomebody7389]

Go to the workshop and get "brush concrete" by mickapel, comes in differant sizes so easier to make those areas you want biffa

[@diamonman77]

love the build, but think the access roads behind the shops look a bit too large and out of scale with the rest, especially as one ways!

[@simongeard4824]

At 43:00, the trees do look good, but they also block visibility of the shop frontages behind... that seems like something that would get vetoed. Either smaller trees, or bigger gaps between them, perhaps?

[@markmurphy7680]

Maybe do the retail parks as pedestrian only areas and add the multi car park etc for parking. That way all the trucks will use the service hubs

[@chrisc6630]

Looks great, only thing i can think would be more suitable would be the non food stores to look better against the other side of the carpark and major, petrol would be better on the exit as stores would prefer to tempt people into store before getting petrol (eg getting your petrol vouchers from food shop) i know Sainsbury's is more like this not sure on Tescos as don't have one near. Your CS 1 cities are amazing and entertaining gives me so many ideas, unfortunately on console its more imagining 😂

[@bbbenj]

What a pleasure to have you back!

[@danielatkins7809]

20:58 your petrol station needs a Greggs, it's the law

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

🫡

[@kameelmohammed4683]

Maybe have a garden centre and or homebase next to the big shops. Also maybe have a mini roundabout infront so people getting petrol don't have to go all the way round

[@theloremagpie]

Think that spot next to tesco would be great for a leisure centre or garden centre. Plus a pedestrian bridge from the residential area to the walkable quay wall for access.

[@jabcmw1]

With that much concrete, I think you need a retention pond

[@rickwellTY]

It's such a southern city , please make a grim north one next

[@restcure]

I'm loving The Wavelet here!

[@amypeggs9606]

[@Toeken42]

[@matthewsmith6169]

glad to see you back the CS1 Mr Biff

[@restcure]

As a US citizen, I am unfamiliar with Waitrose, but still, "the awful brick version" did get a laugh from me.

[@essexexile]

Absolutely love Teaside already. I did have PTSD when you placed my former employers Pets at Home down though 😂

[@Arbol-kx5oc]

I think the problem was that you used a 6+ U parking road. You have to put the 2U node really far away or build a second road with a 30-60 degrees corner, otherwise this game wouldn’t do it and say “invalid shape”. With anarchy mod turned on this would create a mess such as your junction. Just try to extend the driveway along this shops, so that the nodes of the 90 degree turn anre outside the “hitbox” of this 6+ U Parkingroad and the parking road should look normal again.

[@bertbergers9171]

Glad to see some city skylines from you again!

[@T3HFootballGuy]

Maybe it's just me, so feel free to tell me I'm being insane, but I don't see the need to flatten everything when you build. The rolling landscape provides character. There's a slight slope to the row houses and I think it looks beautiful. By flattening the land constantly, you end up with strange cliff walls throughout the city.

[@feckneddy]

A British citea you're gonna need plopable potholes .

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

True! 😅

[@owencox9811]

There’s an actual place in the UK called Teesside and it was built on the river Tees. Main place in the area is Middlesbrough but also has many quaint little towns and villages

[@confused47]

I don't understand why some of these funky detailing tools aren't part of the base CSL2 game, it's this level of detail that has kept the original going by the likes of yourself over all the years.

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

Who knows....!

[@abdeloualibenkheil4836]

You should add a IKEA on the right side. I think that would look great and fit in

[@migomezpolo]

Love your work Biffa!! You are the very reason why I got into CS during Covid. I lived in London for 5 years and these builds take me back to those times walking around NW :) I re-installed CS1 (missing the level of detail), but it crashes... :( Where can I find the mods you currently using? I think I subscribed to old ones without realising... Thank you and enjoy every sippa' tea!!!!

[@mooneyes2k478]

"Our unnamed British City, BritCit!"

[@ate1o]

BritCit means BritCit

[@StephenBates_IT]

I think the entrance/exit to Tesco would be better as a roundabout so people can go on the direction they want. There used to be a Tesco petrol station asset too which would make more sense than BP. I'm also not sure about the other retail units position. I doubt either they or Tesco would want customers near Tesco's delivery area. I also doubt they'd be happy that all the trees obscure the visibility of their names.

[@WhiskeyHunterVAT69]

TY for the VOD. 🤟🤟

[@mattheweble5550]

Hey Biffa....I live in New Jersey in the States....When you said the name Teaside, it made me think of a town that's like an hr or so north of me called Seaside Heights.....When you get moving along in creating different areas, maybe "Teaside Heights" might be a good name for one? :)

[@tigonologdring9189]

Anyone else thinking the Aldi, with an access road between two roundabouts, looks slightly familiar?

[@TechyMantis]

Loving Teaside, a suggestion for the space between tescos and the other shops is possibly a McDonalds or something similiar as it looks like the perfect spot with tables and seats outside. Also I think the BP shop goes with the seperate BP roof/forcourt then you can decorate it as you wish.

[@burntbybrighteyes]

One of the villages on the river need to be called Bligh-upon-Tea.

[@richardmawson6709]

Where i stay Biffa there is a shopping area were we have a Tescos and they have a BP petrol staion loads of parking and loads of parking for the other shops and all shopping areas have small trees and bushes around them plus it makes it more attractive for thier shoppers

Biffa, you could use intersection marking tool to extend the median across the intersections in front of Tesco's ☺️

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

True!

[@OnTheNerdySide]

While I love the trees in front of the shops in the back, I doubt the tenants would like them since you wouldn't be able to see their signs from any sort of distance. I think it also needs a second road, maybe along the quay wall to the main central road, otherwise you're cul-de-sac'ed. If you make sure the speed really low, you shouldn't get too much traffic on it.

[@notharry9328]
