i never understood why you need to unlock things like the natural resources later on after building your city . . usually, cities spring up because of available ressources after all . .

I love how you can adjust the shape of the farms like that, one of my favourite features of this game :)

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

Same here!

[@stabilesteil]

and it doesn't matter which farm type you choose, life stock or crops, they all look the same. One of the features I like least.

[@deathdealer312]

[@Meinejambalaya]

@@stabilesteil looks like chiken farms has a little sheds in the fields - so I think devs will work in that directions. For me - the mining industry looks just wrong - a grey blob of nothingness, and you can't even see the terrain :D

Biffa the recycling centre was at 10 tonnes per month processing and when you lowered the budget it went to 2t, you had a city demand of 40t thats why you were still in the red for processing

[@AlHarthy2908]

12:23 I would suggest that you don't get the bridge to touch the ground but instead leave it elevated until the intersection, that way you can get to have a quay under it.

[@Lultschful]

Can't wait for the headlines. City builder Biffa solves polution crisis! "Bury it under the ground, said Biffa. Nobody knows about it. There we go it's all gone, it's fantastic ha-ha-ha-ha."

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

👍😁

[@MrUN87]

1:10 I suggest working on the land where the bridge is supposed to cross. Currently it is supposed to cross at pretty much the widest place on the river. Usually not where bridges would be built. So maybe extend the land on the other side to narrow the gap.

[@kleckerklotz9620]

I was thinking the same. It is as if the community decided to spend more money than necessary. Against all reason.

[@danilooliveira6580]

sometimes its worth it building bridges across the widest place if its the shortest distance.

[@nzallround4723]

Not all countries and cities are cheap just saying, plus when he upgrands it to the grand bridge it will be the center piece of all the bridges and it will be well worth leaving it as is long bridges look better andmake for a better tourist attraction in real life. Look at the bridges made in the east some made for no reason

[@Kwauhn.]

[@youtubewatcher759]

Fantastic idea on putting a road through the rock fields and adding a building. Probably going to do this with industries as well to give the fields detail and not just a sea of grey.

[@AdamHinckley]

7:03 you should do both, a juction to the highway that also connects to the rest of the city so that people can go straight over without using the highway directly

[@AdamHinckley]

29:32 if you put a college in that area, get a bus line that goes from that area to the other area so that people could use the bus to school from that area, same with ones in the other area want to go to college, they could use the bus

[@Retiredat25]

The mods imo will be such high quality and with a dedicated mod platform..cant wait! Love the work Biffa!

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

Thankyou 😊

[@Noct31]

Somehow I'm more excited to be doing industry in this game than pretty much anything else. Having the detailed supply chains actually be a factor in how you grow your city gives everything so much more meaning and purpose than in CS1.

[@theldraspneumonoultramicro405]

woul be nice and a very simple yet big quality of life feature if they made it so that farmland automatically lined itself alongside the roads, other fields and buildings if they intersect with them when you place it.

[@OszkarFulop]

They should add that feature

[@pauldee1577]

It would be nice, yeah! They could have a "fill" feature like a paint bucket in MS Paint

[@edenmoon8275]

I love your videos on SL2 because you don't just build, you explain what you are doing and why and it is really informative. When I get this game (hopefully) I will understand it a bit better.

[@djerykhornubis2466]

The realism of farm land is s much better than CS1! More generslly, I'm really enjoying your increased attention to details and shapes to make it less griddy and robotic. Thx Biffa

[@derekbarry7656]

You think every single farm looking exactly the same, livestock with wheat fields, and random buildings in the middle of the field is more realistic? That is attention to detail?

[@djerykhornubis2466]

You should place a row of trees between the farm zones, to work as natural land dividers. This is also something you see a lot in the real world.

It might look good to have a small gap between the farms where you can add trees or European style hedgerows to break up the farms for decoration. It's also provides wildlife habitat in real life.

[@capedkat]

This is the first time I'm actually getting excited to play this game myself. It's all the logistic parameters for me! Your city is coming along really nice. Now that you still got room for it, wouldn't it be grand if all that surplus stone could have a highway exit and entrance, instead of it being transported right through your town? Anyway, looking forward to the next one, as always ☺

[@LemLems1]

I’d love it please if in one of your CS2 videos, you could do a short explanation of what all the different snapping buttons do. I notice creators sometimes switch them all off, other times they’ll just switch a few off and leave the others on. It’d be great to see what effects you can get with different combinations. Thanks for all you do, yours is my favourite CS content channel.

You should put a little island in the middle so that bridge isn't as big. Or you can do what they did in Tampa and make like a peninsula go halfway out. It was cool when we went down there for vacation and they had a huge bridge go across the bay like that

[@eyetok_alot]

in city 1 i made culdesacs by putting in a small 2 way road, and at the end a little piece of bigger road, cars will turn arround at the end

[@JaCrispy3060]

I think if they could make it so oil and ore deposits needed to be discovered in game by prospectors, and oil always spawned at low elevation and ore spawned at more high elevation, and more deposits could be found after current deposits are depleted, I think it would make a great system and an alternative to straight up unlimited resources

[@Wiimeiser]

I think Move It and Fine Road Tool need to be among the first mods to get created. Also, those farms do make it look kinda British... That overpass at the end needs a full interchange. A custom double parclo should do nicely.

[@aydendejong451]

glad you chose the efficient intersection.

[@amysteele2488]

[@ConfusedRaccoon]

@36:34 inb4 they add Manor Lords plot drawing for Cul de sacs. Just like how you draw industry areas, but for residential.

[@MemoriesLP]

29:40 - Imagine how much noise cars would make to trouble students. Also, all the polution that comes from the highway. It also looks dangerous, because people from outside can easily gain access to school and run away on the highway. I know these are not game stuff, but I'm just imaging it.

[@bradfromoz]

Great one there Biffa! I really hope they fix industry manipulation, so when you raise/lower taxes (even offer a subsidy) that it impacts industry more, so you have a city build around a specific industry similar to how most cities start out - Forestry or Farming!! Cant wait to see more! The base game we had for CS1 was really good. To think this is the base game, what's it going to be like when we have our first few DLC's and Mods added... exciting times ahead!!

[@litebreeze811]

Great video, as always :) I just found out the stone mine spawns a giant earth digger if you make the working area large enough! I love the detail of the roads you put through the stone mine, but I think I prefer the giant digger :P

11:46 the interchange placement messes up the lane math, doesn’t replace the main highway segments with the 3 lane ones for some reason

[@BrendenChase77]

I like how you did the stone facility. That's thinking outside the box!

[@japes7]

The way it chooses industry is interesting. Like you said the deficit plays a big role, but probably also the size of the lots. I think it takes a while with the taxes. If you lower the taxes, I think it does work but takes longer - like the existing industry of that type will be profitable and thus level up. They also spoke about an efficiency bonus when certain types of industry clump together. It was in the dev diaries but it sounds very advanced.

[@scottsfowler]

For the interchanges I find it's easiest to delete the current highway just wider than the interchnge length and line it up with one end of the highway. If there is terrain level differences use the leveling tool starting on the actual road segment of the highway to over the size of the interchange (and slope tool they are different heights too). Then it's butter. Of course soften after. I oftentimes delete the unattached end even more to get that sexy sexy curve. Cheers!
