Cities: Skylines 2 - "Public & Cargo Transportation" - Dev Diary Deep Dive #3

[@arkieguy1]

I think I heard that when you add taxi's, they have to pick up at taxi stands. When you upgrade to the "dispatch center", the center can dispatch taxis to pick up from places other than just the taxi stands.

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

That sounds like it yeah, nice addition 👍

[@Narangarath]

Yeah, that was mentioned in one official video or another for sure.

[@bestboy007]

@@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines why u not mentioning how there wont be vehicles in cs2 and streets empty.

[@jaydenvalentijn2534]

If you upgrade the taxi depot they will drive to the costumer and then bring them to the destination

[@this_is_patrick]

@@bestboy007 Are you a SimCity shill or something? All of your comments consists of you crying that there's no street traffic on a game that hasn't even been released yet.

[@TuomasLeone]

Actually, the fact that bikes don't seem to be included I am cautiously hopeful about. If it is a DLC hopefully they can really get it right, with new roads with fully separated bike lanes, bike sharing, bike parking etc. Let's be honest there are going to be DLCs and this is how they and Paradox make their €£$ so if bikes are part of that so be it, as long as it's done right. I think they will.

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

I think a HUGE Bike DLC with everything you can wish for would be fantastic 😀

[@rapidfire4202]

Since the scale of the game and the overwhelming road tools i feel like i would be overstrained a fair bit with bikes right from the start😬

[@fritzp9916]

Not just bikes, also possibly other types of micromobility such as those little electric scooters that are cluttering so many cities. Possibly even cargo bikes for commercial use. All of those can share the same bike path network.

[@ikelom]

It's just annoying cause I'm probably going to wait until this "bikes DLC" comes out before I actually get the game. I don't want to play the game without bike paths lol

[@FreakyFerret]

​ @fritzp9916 agreed. I think they have something big planned for bikes including: different bikes models bike "parking", whether lots or just placeable bike racks bike "rental" spots (will they need a depot?) the ability to add bike lanes to pedestrian paths as well as regular roads (like we add other lanes to regular roads) which could lead to bike bridges! off-road bike paths (maybe!?) for nature preserve areas (going back to different bike models) bike racks on vehicles, so you can transport your bike to the specialized areas bike parks like skateboard parks in CS1 cargo bikes (more bike models!) tandem bikes (more bike models!) bike shops and repair shops for Commercial buildings All just a few possibilities for bikes in a future DLC (or free update). @BiffaPlaysCitisSkylines poke your CO friends and give them these ideas. :)

[@Albertjonas]

20:00 There is some achievement called "You Little Stalker" where we need follow a citizen's lifepath from childhood to old age. Perhaps it's a bit easyier doing so with that + thingie?

Finally we can have better use of cargo trains better than before !

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

Its going to be great! 😀

[@Thakkii]

What i appreciate in this sequel is how you can modify roads without messing with zones , this was always something i mess up in City skylines without proper planning i always end up upgrading later and mess up with the zones 🤣

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

Yeah the upgrade tool looks like a great change 😀

[@caodesignworks2407]

Maybe I'm not understanding, but what about zones gets messed up when upgrading roads? I don't think I've ever noticed a change in any zone I set when I modify the road layout. Do you mean when you make a road larger than the previous one and have to bulldoze part of the existing infrastructure so it fits in?

[@flyingwhale157]

​@@caodesignworks2407 If you have buildings on a local road, ie 2u wide, when you upgrade this to a 4 or six lane collector or arterial which are 4u wide, the zoning will shift to acommadate for wider road by 1u. This will cause the buildings to be bulldozed and rebuilt with the new zones.

[@pwcorgi2000]

CS1 was like the framework for CS2.

[@Imchriswalker]

Me too bro! So exited to see what’s in store 💯

[@Arkiasis]

Mine is the zoning. Just seeing the multiple different residential types of zoning (from single family to row houses, medium density etc.) and one of them being mixed use is super exciting.

[@boilerfan18]

I really like that you can add waypoints for buses. Especially if you had a longer line going through a suburb area, the game wouldn’t always pick a route I wanted. Plus, it’ll be a new thing you can fiddle with in your traffic fix series.

[@ayasekaru]

We have a system here in my hometown where taxis can serve as low capacity buses. They service small towns in the area around the city, where sending a full on bus just isnt that great of an idea.

[@PepsiSpriteLight]

We have something here in our town. It's called a Taxi Bus. It acts like a bus but you have to call it like a taxi otherwise it won't show up

[@flooooofyyy]

Similar thing in the towns in Central Germany. Towns and villages are so low density and far from each other, the Rüfbus (call-bus) is just a mini van you can call that will pick you up. Although it dispatches on a pre determined schedule - I had to call the morning to get picked up in the afternoon. It’s super super cheap as well!

[@pawaratharva6371]

In my town we have "Share taxi " which have fixed route and fixed fare but you have to share it with people going on same route. They even have dedicated stands on some train stations too.

[@hellblazer_original]

It is "Sammeltaxi" in Germany, mostly used in rural areas and after a while stopped because it does not pay :D

[@Vanethen]

I'm very pleased that the rain isn't just a misty overlay on the screen anymore. That looks really nice.

[@micheleb9501]

Honestly, if they have automatic line colors, I'll be happy - each new line will automatically be a new line color. Other than that, I'm ready for anything. I love the fact that the cargo harbor and cargo train stations also double as storage, that's a fantastic upgrade. Maybe we will see less truck traffic pouring into the cargo train terminals because of this? Hopefully? Or faster processing? I'm so excited for this game, and I seriously appreciate that you look at every frame of these videos and point out details that casual viewers may miss. Way to go, Biffa, you're awesome!!

[@AnnBoylen]

It would be cool if the cims demanded specific goods: food stuff, clothing, electronics, beverages etc and we've got to make sure there are warehouses and shops filled with them.

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

That would be great! 😀

[@StudioNetcom]

instead of the generic "goods"? That would be fantastic. Maybe an idea for an upcoming DLC (in a couple years)

[@SlyAceZeta]

We've seen that we can add pedestrian crossings to a road, so it looks like adding a crossing in the middle of a road will either put a stop light there or allow us to put a stop light there on top of the crossing.

Wow, I don’t know if anybody cought this but a car tried to switch lanes at 18:18 but swerved back into the lane it was in since there was a car in its blind spot. It’s neat that we’re going to have situations where cars will “almost” get into accidents too.

[@FlickHerBeats]

Its gorgeous! I think im looking forward to watching you play it more than actually playing it myself! I did chuckle at 20:18 too, the INCASErium! Its listed as "home to a number of insurance companies"...because just IN CASE, they do like the little side jokes at Colossal lol. They're going to have more work now that the sims can get in to traffic collisions. Maybe.

[@GamerFollower]

40:40 Did anyone else see??? The back yards are built on slopes like real life, only the building itself needs a flat plot, not the entire zoned area has to be flat! :O

[@EiriUesugiKun]

4:12 - I'm pretty sure I either saw or it was said on the dev diaries that the dispatch center allows the taxis to take rides "on the fly" thus reduces the need for taxi stands. Also the garage is most likely for more capacity (cars)..

We can have one of 3 different ways of "upgrade system" (i think). 1st: like "fallout shelter ", upgrading of rooms 2nd: like airport DLC 3rd: like "transport fever 2" (my favourite)

[@lightplane]

One big gameplay change is a limit to the number of vehicles that can be held in a depot. This means upgrading depot to hold more or building more depots. But more importantly it means really thinking about where those vehicles should be deployed. E.g. Fit number of buses to the demand. I also hope that the timescale will mean rush hours and quiet times overnight. Hope that business follow business hours, school follow school hours, no lessons overnight for example. This will then effect need for public transport at different times.

[@tauceti8341]

28:20 BIFFAAA!! You may have missed it. The car backed up! to avoid waiting in the collision place for it to be cleared! Thats so cool! No more agents just waiting around to be stuck all day.

[@maartena]

I am very excited about the waypoint feature! I always have trouble with busy downtowns where I have multiple tram or bus routes (usually I go with trams) and I specifically want to place a stop somewhere where other trams also go because of natural pathing.... With waypoints you get so much more control as to where they go.

[@TuomioK]

I really, really hope that there is rush hour and that the night/day cycle isnt just visual.

[@gwaeron8630]

I was hoping to see the person moving around in there but haven't spotted that so far. Is dynamic occupancy actually a thing in CS2? Does the person have a designated apartment in a building and when they are active in that apartment the light is on? That would be cool. An option to turn on and off for performance would be nice if so.

[@himagainstill]

8:41 The "yellow lines" are the conductor rails (spicy, do not touch) and the "white thingies" are sleepers.

[@mifphilip]

i like how they have scaled things up. no longer will a bus be bigger than 3 floors in an apartment complex.

[@TanyaOwens]

6:16 you're looking at the off-set road and I am looking at the deer strolling in the park. I would love to be able to add wildlife to places in the city after it is built. 33:00 seems like they are adding region play if you have to make your own outside connections.

[@kaadhome5821]

One of my favorite things about this game is one that they learned/listened to what we all wanted but more importantly is that they made buildings and systems (roads in particular) modular broken down which bodes much better for more cohesion with DLC. So like if we get an African in Miniature pack again they could integrate that in with the current buildings as addons or have a different base building style that could tack on the current addons plus they could easy add another flag to the network style section add African style networks or whatever. Also if a new mechanic or network type (seems they have most of the real world ish ones but let’s say like monorail or maglev or hyper loop) is added they it could be added as a module to all the current buildings along with the addition-only buildings instead of requiring full new hubs added for each pack.

[@draigaur9543]

just wondering about building upgrades, does the initial building have space for the upgrade or will we have to leave space for it??

[@DevynCairns]

It looks like they took a lot of cues from Transport Fever 2 and I'm very glad to see that. I really hope that in addition to each track being separate, we have signals. Not having signals is one of the things that makes train management in CS1 incredibly difficult.

[@Brainy_Bytes]

The assets community is going to be huge in this iteration of Skylines 2 I cannot wait to see what comes out on the workshop!

[@BootedTech]

20:19 - I really hope we can remove those pedestrian crossings at every intersection without the use of a MOD. Even better, I hope they add the ability to include crossing diagonally at traffic controlled intersections.

[@kyledunn8205]

Couple points I noticed, when the tram track was being added to the road it was being added to an *eight* lane road - which became a six lane with the tram added. So that confirms very big roads and that adding tram tracks to roads does delete lanes.

[@niccolom]

Thank you for increasing the volume of that video. Last week, I had to turn way up to hear what she says, and then when you started talking, my ear drums bursted.

[@karlboz]

51:45 The time is 22:36, but it is day light. Are we going only be able to set the day / night cycle for visual affect only, and the time continue to go through day / night? This would mean that rush hour and other times based features would still be used whilst building in day light hours

[@koko-lores]

Regarding windows/lights in buildings, when you look at the dark building on the left side of the road at 35:07, and keep looking at it while the camera moves forward, you can see that the "view of the room" changes as you move along. So while it may not simulate the insides of homes, it's more than a simple texture ("picture") on the outside of the building.

[@wilebaldoalvarez]

What I would like is that simple train stations could be put from the beginning or in the early stages of the game, it must be remembered that today's cities were built around those train stations, it was how people and goods arrived everywhere.

[@Yoghurtmale8]

The public transit ridership is also much higher, while you were looking at the lines off to the right you could see that total transit ridership was 63.000 for a city of 90.000! That’s pretty realistic for a North American city.

26:11 Nice to see the cars are using all the lanes... and also that cars can just phase through a huge crowd of people stuck on a crossing.

[@leosalemii]

I noticed that at 29:38 there's someone saying that they're going to live in a different house 'now' - does that mean that citizens can move and change houses during their lifespans???

[@nzshock]

That would be cool if people can move houses when new suburbs are built.

[@lion_dragon]

25:20 The yellow car should have stopped at the red light in the median after completing its turn. This Junction is actually a tease for something that was difficult in vanilla CS1 when using one way roads to build wide boulevards. But have a look at the bus on the left. Not only is he sticking out into the junction behind him but there are also two cars that ignore the changing lights and block the junction. People are starting to cross as the yellow car is running the red light. That yellow van will become irritated if not being able to cross the junction and runs the risk of choosing to run it's red light after having missed the green phaze. I want to point out evidence seems to suggest a fair bit of TM:PE integrations. First of all the lights in the median are able to have a separate phase from the lights around the outside of the junction. That light that was turning red was green to accommodate cars turning left from where the yellow car had come. I expect the yellow van will be bothered it looks like it wants to go straight through however when the light for the yellow then turns green which is what happens next in the phase delay will also turn green for the motorbike and bus which will allow the cars blocking the junction behind the bus to clear it for the van to pass through. That's a pretty detailed timed traffic light going on there. It looks confusing because none of this was possible with vanilla CS1, we needed traffic manager for that. In VCS1 you'd just shut off the traffic light for the junction and hope everyone survives the kefuffle because the default unadjustable vanilla traffic lights in several situations could make things worse.

[@OpinionatedAnon]

9:03 if you look carefully there are items highlighted separately within this overground subway station. Items highlighted include rocks and street lights. Maybe they’re interchangeable or removable separately.

Also at 4:40 on the tool tip it looks like every house/building in the game has a named address (which I don't think happened before??)

[@seraphina985]

35:00 Actually those windows are clearly not just textures applied to the outside, look closely at the corner window of the building on the left. The perspective clearly changes, you get to see more of the left hand interior wall as the camera approaches and gives a better angle. Sure it's low poly, the furnishings are merely textures applied to the walls of the room to look like there is stuff lining the walls but it does have internal walls thus why the perspective shift changes what we can see. If it was just a flat texture on the outside it wouldn't be possible to see different parts of the room from different angles like that. You are right that the stuff in the room is entirely flat ie just textures but it seems to have different textures on each face of a box inside the window to sell the illusion even better by giving the internal space some actual depth for perspective to work with.

[@fatemonkey]

Not necessarily true. You can fake that parallax effect with fancy 3D graphics techniques.

[@seraphina985]

@@fatemonkey Sure you can but doing that for every window would actually be more intensive than what it looks like which is that the "lit" windows appear to have the inside of a cuboid behind them with textures on the faces. Especially as to me it looks like it is the inside of a box with backdrops on the walls, it looks like a stage backdrop in a theatre to me, it looks like the box with an invisible wall effect to me.

The windows on buildings... It really seems like they are using a shader to create inside geometry. Like how Spiderman 2018 does it. At 35:09, you can see parallax on the building on the left, the rightmost window up top, with the lines in the window and the actual inside.

Will this also go the other way around as with a mod in CS1, where companies will hire over educated if needed or so?

[@seraphina985]

17:08 Yeah that is definitely the port for the blue water transit line we see earlier, we see that same bridge and the hospital next to it on the earlier shot. Heh just realised it is also the same one shown in the picture at 42:14 same second bridge in the background, same cityscape across the water, the intersection at the front is the same one too.

The second building option after bus depot at 3:05 could be for intercity buses maybe??

[@stainlessteele5]

I'm just at the section where you're talking about being able to move the tram stops so they're not bound to a segment, But one thing I think you missed is in that first shot, where they show the bus lines they have 3 bus stops placed right next to each other in a segment which tells me if you've got lots of bus stops on the road you can space them rather than having three lines jammed into one stop.

[@IPEX-BADD]

7:27 Just to add to many a comment. I assume its an Airplane routes. As they lift off (depart)/land on the tarmac (arrive) the lines branch into the sky. Planes are Purple. Also at 49:33 11:58 Cargo ships, can take 1K ton of cargo. So Cargo, is limited by weight, and transport options carrying limits.

Saw that too. Looked like it had an internal space, but was still just flat textures- so just a box with textured walls. Simple but gives the illusion of interiors as long as you don't zoom too close.

They might have used interior cube mapping

[@eyetok_alot]

i was going to mention that, it looked full 3d

That's a material mapping trick common in archiviz renders. It works at render time (similarly to normal mapping), creating a faux internal parallax.

Hi Biffa!!! I'm so happy to see modular additions to buildings, that was the only good thing about the abomination called SimCity (5 or 2013)...

The road wear from the car tires just bugs me. I hope there's a toggle to disable it, or someone creates a mod the first week to get rid of it. Some wear on the roads is fine, but the amount that is shown in the videos just bugs the heck out of me to where it's very distracting.

[@sstrick500]

Yes, that jumped out right away to me. Looks tacky.

I like how it looks like you can actually modify the routes planes fly around the map. Would be nice to be able to in effect configure the STAR's and SID's for the airport to avoid the most densely populated areas as this is fairly common practice in real life. Makes things quieter for the voters on the ground so they whine less which tends to make local government happier. Even better hearing that we now get that sort of control over outside transit connections in general, this is how it should be as that is how it works in real life if you want a ferry with a completely separate city across the water that would be something your city was actively partnering with them to set up, and yes paying a share of the costs of operating also. With that of course comes the ability to have have that control over what routes those connections are allowed to take into and out of your cities are of control and what terminals they calls at and such.
