Can We Really Afford a SECOND Village in Kettlewick? (Cities Skylines 2) Ep6

biffa casually poluting his ground pumping station with a sewage outlet and industry

[@danielb.6713]

🌧🌦 jup, Biffa you'll want to remove the industry and all pollution from the groundwater source. Also consider the pollution apreads throughout the entire groundwater source Greetings from germany

[@Eschatonin6666]

That's just 18th century London aesthetic Never forget the irl John Snow

[@Emily.R.W]

@@Eschatonin6666 unfortunately it’s also far too accurate for modern day. The water companies have been getting away with a lot and it is incredibly disgusting. They’re pocketing money without upgrading or maintaining infrastructure to meet demand, therefore there are far too many instances of overflow into rivers etc. Or they just know they can get away with it by paying a few million each time and don’t want to bother.

[@Eschatonin6666]

@@Emily.R.W privatising your water services will do that

[@gabrielamarinho9627]

i was about to comment that lol

[@colserra9770]

Hey Biffa! I noticed that most UK towns have riverside walks/paths, I would love to see this in kettlewick! Loving the series!!

[@LiqdPT]

38:36 sometimes I wonder if you remember this is a city where you drive on the left. I'm not sure that slip road really helps.

[@carsgonewrong746]

It made sense until he put the roundabout there

[@kylek3627]

Biffa!!!! 😂

[@graecustherus7513]

The junction leading into the new village just seems like an accident waiting to happen and the traffic will be horrible. A good old roundabout or a T-junction would be much safer

[@rahansk8200]

everyone must ask themselves the question. Why does the road to the industrial zone go through the main street, when there is a road right next to it to get in and out...?

[@MarkLloyd72]

Hi Biffa as someone who has worked at village based fire stations as a front line firefighter, that tiny one you said doesn't look right for the UK, is very common in small rural villages like the one you built in the video, for example the county of Oxfordshire who I worked for has many small fire stations, but two that look very close to it are Thame and Wallingford.

[@Rodimus-Prime]

That 1 way slip road being the wrong way was really bugging me 😆

[@stephenreardon2698]

Biffa, it seems from the linear design style of the village that it was originally built to serve the railway depot. The Victorian terracing along the main road, as well as in front of the station, are clearly the oldest housing. As such the sudden end of the main road in front of the pub makes no sense unless it is continued the short distance to the road to Kettlewick. As there is the road running below the village that acts as a bypass. then the short stretch of the missing main road could be a pedestrian road, pedestrianised when the bypass was built. A bridge carrying the main Kettlewick road over the rail line would also seem logical to replace the existing level crossing. This could have been built either when the railway first came through or later when the roads were upgraded as part of the bypass scheme. Fab episode as ever.

[@Thesecret101-te1lm]

Pedestrianized or just cut off. Don't know about UK in particular but from elsewhere my impression is that they just cut roads when they made bypasses back in the days, but later on they would make a pedestrian+bicycle connection.

[@SpaceyO2]

Don't primary school and elementary school serve the same education level? You need a small high school instead

[@benjammind]

Forget the Gavin and Stacey Christmas special, a new episode of Kettlewick is far more exciting!

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

👍👍

[@Noble-highlights]

Because of the triangle in the middle, how about Toblerone heights ?

[@AstonProudley]

Did you put the same type of school down? Primary and elementary is the same thing isn’t it? Also, a proper church/cathedral. The town doesn’t have one and everyone has one in the uk

[@AstonProudley]

Also, couldn’t the line be doubled up? Train traffic is going to be awful once up and running.

[@OyvindSolstad]

There's literally a road 15 meters from the railway depot? Why not connect it to that, with a simple road, instead of snaking around it and the bridge above the line?

[@havasimark]

and that road, the highway, would be the one to get the bridge eventually

[@tims9434]

It's actually logical in a rural environment

[@TylerGherkinGregory]

The New Place should be called Kipling Village - Named after the Cakes!

[@medicallyunexplainedsymptoms]

With a roundabout the locals call The Viennese Whirl 😁

[@TazPessle]

​@@medicallyunexplainedsymptoms sounds like a protest name for the first spiral roundabout to the area

[@tomwhitehouse3473]

When I build a farm, I generally put a few small row houses (to simulate worker houses) next to them. I also consider a single industry next to them in a gap too - many farmers has diversified into secondary industries and processors - think a beverage producer. In game this is represented by putting a beverage producers next to a vegetable farm. I do have to bulldoze the industry many times to get the right industry.

[@JZachari]

Loving the new village! I think you should remove the slip which leads to the industry road. It is going the wrong direction meaning traffic would need to turn right across on coming traffic twice rather than going doing to the roundabout (which as you’d be giving way to the right with very little traffic coming from the cemetery and the short residential road traffic would naturally ignore the slip as it would be slower. As for the name of the village, I think you should name it after tea! Whether it be English tea brands or different types of tea! P.S. don’t forget to activate the rail services!

[@anthonykelso2249]

I am really worried about groundwater pollution. You have your sewer discharge and industry all close by your groundwater pumping station. I do love this area though

[@unstoppable2180]

☕👍 🌧⛈☔☀🌈👍 (rainy = umbrella then the sun comes out which creates a rainbow :) ) 8:26 gravel car park maybe?

[@blackineese]

For the sewage at 33:10... just dig a big pit in the ground. Use a road for the retaining wall of the pit and put the sewage pump in it to full it us. When you have enough money just delete the pump and raise the level of the land back to normal. How this game is, water physics is completely ignored and your land will not be polluted

[@OtisAndres-Bayliss]

The second town should be crisps, and every other town should have a different confectionary theme

[@littleBug75]

Be careful with the industry placement - You might poison the underground water source. ☢🌧☔

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

👍

[@eosfuto]

Two things are missing to make it British, Hedges along the road and farmland, and stone fences around the farm plots

[@pagjam]

There are loads of crossings to delete in the new area. Cars will have to stop all the time.

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

Indeed 👍

[@wiltel2409]

Cupton would be a nice name

[@mateuszkunda9400]

What a fantastic build, looks so British! Btw, around 15:30 I've spotted a few gaps between the terraced houses, guess you'd like to fill them in :)

[@drjonritz]

Sewage Discharge right by the groundwater pump? Hmmm. Genius! All we need is a few beavers to sort it out, right Biffa?

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

Yikes!

[@TGYTCrafts]

i still play cities skylines 1, and i just watch cs2 for no reason like it will benefit my city in any way

You probably need to address the rock query needed for the upkeep of the homes at this point of kettlewick County.

[@Rosspeter123]

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

😅

[@singitsteve]

Understated and dignified with an air of history and class? Surely this is the village of Bourneville!

[@marcrubin9359]

Great build Biffa! In the new village, I do think an at grade crossing is way more realisitc than the bridge. Even a much larger town would have that, not a bridge.

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

I might change it up 👍

[@lateniter62]

Hi Biffa! As a nod to your US based fans, how about naming your new village "Hershey Fields" or "Mars Meadows". It is across 'the pond" or in this case the river nearby 😀!

[@Sc0rp10711]

I think the city needs another older village settlement, like an origin for the city. Something inspired by the names of Newcastle upon Tyne or Stoke on Trent, such as "Kettle Upon Stove". A very simple Victorian style layout with an old style school house, church and simple railway station. Minimalist but close knit.

[@gabytiny]

Hey Biffa! Amazing build! Maybe I would like to see the parking lot of the 5-star hotel with the same sand-gravel aspect as the road, to be more homogeneous! And of course some detailing near the Road like tractors or haystacks maybe? Thank you again!!

[@marcz6838]

If you are travelling in road from the train depot over the bridge to go left to village you have to go to box junction - the slip road is for on coming traffic I don’t think you intended it to be that way round did you Biffa?

[@aplays99]

For the new area, what about Heroes Haven? Named after the chocolates and uses alliteration!

[@dmc41287]

I am watching this series a while after they first went up and all I hear in my head is City Planner Plays yelling about cul-de-sacing all these areas. Love the series and I am eager to watch more.

[@lpburrows]

I'm not sure I'd love staying in a 5-star hotel looking directly out over a train line. Beautiful build otherwise!

[@carsgonewrong746]

One rural thing you could use is hedges (either side of the road tall or short) and it will help the boundary between the farm land edge and the road.

[@Tr1k1e]

New village should be called Kipling with areas with in named after his exceedingly good cakes

[@ForecastCallsForDom]

🌧️🫖 Love the start to the new village!

[@Clavichordist]

This looks really great. What you need are some Lombardi poplars lining the roads to the fancy hotel and mansion with the farm fields replaced by green pastures.

[@olumidebashorun3242]

Biffs,in the uk buses have numbers. Maybe you could rename your buses with random numbers E.g. 37,69,532,325

[@V8HiluxZX6R]

Usually the number is followed by the end point destination as well, rather than where the route serves.

[@Ewan0001]

Biffa, these are some name suggestions Milky Way Manor Shortbread street Rolo road Jammy dodger Drive Kipling crest Weetabix way Refreshers road Malteser Marsh Aero Avenue Digestive Drive Bueno bend

[@KJP1226]

hey biffa, you keep putting schools next to pubs, which is ususally a no-go for safety reasons - same with liquor stores.

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

There is a primary school literally across the road from a pub that my kids went to, down the road from me....so.... 🤷‍♂️

[@V8HiluxZX6R]

My old high school has a carvery pub on the same road, about 1 minutes walk away.

[@baldytail]

Not in the UK it isn't, if a neighbourhood had a school there would be several pubs in the nearby vicinity so the parents could have a cheeky pint after the kids had gone to bed. Maybe not so much these days though.

[@JimBones1990]

The new village can be called Twainwick Station, Being both a play on the words train weck, And in keeping with the Wick naming style.

[@transport_dude]

Since the main town of Kettlewick is mainly named after chocolates, maybe the village could be named after sweets such as: Haribo, Skittles, Smarties, Fruit Pastels, Rowntrees, Chewits etc. Also, dont forget to add the road markings for busy junctions ( the box junction).

[@Fry2000]

Thanks

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

Thankyou, very kind 👍😁👍

[@Volcanic_236]

Hold my cup of tea ☕, another episode of Kettlewick is here!

[@OKZ15]

I believe in a video from Infrastructurist he had a mod that sort of hid the light gray wear markings on the road, maybe look into that!

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

👍

[@chris_blake83]

The Village needs to be named after different bread brand so it can be related to tea & toast :-)

[@Mattyplayz1]

How about Haribo Heights/Hill and name the roads after different haribos such as tangfastics close, starmix road or gold bears way ? Also loving the series ❤

[@Majorr_Gamingg]

Biffa, please could you inspire the next build off a village called Wolston?

Hey biffa, great video as usual! I found out you don't need to remove the existing surfaces to place farms. You can place farms over them and then adjust whatever still needs adjusting (like the area of the farm building itself). It will show the new texture of the farm you just placed instead of the one below it. Might be useful as well. Have a nice day (and merry xmas!)☔️🫖🎄

Biffa - map name at 1:56 - From the name and the look, that sure looks like a map of Oregon's Willamette River valley. My daughter goes to school there, and I've been rigorously corrected: the pronunciation is not the expected WILL-a-met that you used, but is actually pronounced wil-AM-ette valley. There, I've done my duty by her and passed it on. What you do with the information is up to you. :)

[@drworm73]

Well you are building a British inspired city on a map based on the Willamette Valley. Oregon (west of the Cascades) gets quite a bit of rain, so you are getting wet no matter which side you favor.

[@larag4646]

Crunchy Frog would be a great name for a suburb. Made by the Whizzo Chocolate Company, they use only the finest baby frogs, dew picked and flown from Iraq, cleansed in finest quality spring water, lightly killed, and then sealed in a succulent Swiss quintuple smooth treble cream milk chocolate envelope and lovingly frosted with glucose.
