Cities Skylines - Fluxburgh [PART 4] "Transit Station"

[@FocD]

What i think is funny about city skylines is when you fast forward the time it showes that days pass but the cars dont go any faster so you can se cars driving for days =D

[@volvodashcam]

I have now watched 3 and a half episodes of this and one thing you did in the first one still itches a bit in my eyes! :D It's the off ramp to the garbage-area that you put before(!) the onramp for the traffic from the city. When garbage-trucks are going back to the landfills and incinerators they can't use that road.. You might have fixed this already in an later episode.. but if not, do it! ;)

[@jacobpatrickyoung9287]

I love your videos and especially this series. Keep up the great work.

[@Fluxtrance]

Jacob Patrick Young Thanks! Glad you like it!

[@brokkrep]

Jacob Patrick Young Me too. I wonder if theres any Content on Steam of your work?

[@cookiegaming44]

hey look I saw you on the north American driver fails!

[@jacobpatrickyoung9287]

cookiegaming44 Yeah I like this channel also. Good you do too.

[@fobosyarif]

+Jacob Patrick Young *especially

[@Pocolas]

Just decided to watch EVERY SINGLE EPISODE up until where you're at now. Wish me luck :D

[@arendtimmer666]

😂😂 good luck

[@Pocolas]

Arend Timmer Thanks, I'm at part 27 now :p

[@Pocolas]

***** Having a little break now, I'm currently at part 48 :p

[@Pocolas]

***** Yeah me too :p xD

[@steved6533]

+Pocolas Doing the same thing

[@knockshinnoch1950]

I'm overdosing on your series in order to catch up. Fascinating to watch how you plan and layout on the fly. Was chuckling at you tying yourself in knots trying to sort out the bus depot! So similar to situations I've found myself in during gameplay. Love the balance between gameplay and running commentary which is not intrusive- so many other you tubers are nearly impossible to watch/listen to for anything more than 5 minutes due to their "hey I'm a crazy funny frills' awesome dude" act. At last someone with some intelligence who is articulate and can communicate clearly in the english language without resorting to a series of soundbites and cliches! Keep up the great work.

[@josefspaid3188]

I like how he worries about traffic when there is none

[@arkaenaz]

Josef Spaid He's worrying about it because if the population grows, it might clog up the roads

[@petermuller5800]

Hi Flux, I'm watching your Fluxburgh episodes in April 2021 and totally love them! Still got a lot more to watch 😁

[@BronyTimereactions]

this map reminds me of a sky view of new york

[@cookiegaming44]

new Yorks is WAY bigger though. I actually think when if he ended this it was actually bigger than new York.

[@BankruptCart336]

I just realized that New York City has the population of 8 million!!!!!!!😱😱😱😱

[@nachochip421gamingpranksan7]

Nicholas Dulaca You didnt know that. Of course New York city has 8 million people in it especially when 365 million people live in the whole United states.

[@samuelalexandrovich6330]

It looks like downtown Manhattan even the offices fit in because the financial district has offices

[@hans-olavlokylandsvik3234]

Love your stuff Flux, started watching you back when you started on the sim city series, and now i watch every single video you upload, love your content, keep up the good work

[@Fluxtrance]

Hans-Olav Lokøy Landsvik Thanks Hans! Glad to hear it man

[@tallyhobo3]

*works painstakingly to create road system* *deletes entire layout 6 minutes later*

[@louishowlieson9771]

I love the way he finishes a section and says “perfect” then immediately after changes his mind and deletes it

[@onefourfiveninef3itssteven774]

I like how fluxtrance puts effort into optimizing the efficiency of his roads for the future

[@brokkrep]

Traffic is one of the most important thing. You handle it very well.

[@SbgamingTv]

With your transit station, my first thought was to have the bus output be a 6-lane one-way, rather than separate 2-lane one-ways and then setup your bus routes so that the buses choose which lane of the 6-lane to use depending on where they are going. With the 6-lane you would have three bus routes turning left, and 3 bus routes turning right, so all it'd take is some minor planning to make sure they go the direction they need to go without any lane changing once they hit the main road network. It'd create a cleaner outflow (one intersection as opposed to three. The current outflow of three one-ways end up with a single left and single right turn on each of the three outflows, and of course the stop and go of having a number of extra intersections. The only other change I might do with such a setup is to instead have the raised pedestrian paths slope down on one side, and place the ground level part closest to where the people get on or off the buses. While I doubt the people necessarily care that they have to walk a few more cells to get to the pedestrian walkways, my own experience as a transit user is such that I didn't like it when the bus stopped at a stop that had me walk further than I needed to to get to the stairs ;)

[@traedarkness]

I really enjoy watching you make your intricate road systems hehe (;

[@gamerz8459]

lol this is my second time watching and i still remember that the roads were split by 17 17 18

[@christopherklemm5841]

Keep up the good work this is the best series

[@Kiy86]

I LOVE your roads and traffic management

[@personalclips]

Ha, the whole time watching the series, it plagues my mind to mention that (checked to see if anyone else said it, didn't find it), if you look from the office zone area, and the triangle shore line, the roads make an almost lizard like shape. The small park areas being either the eyes, or random scales. Lel, might be my extremely strange imagination, I see things in almost everything.

[@alexk3072]

You should legit be a city road planner

[@Mortenjwhre]

Nah fam. It’s a lot harder than you think. Just bc he’s good at building roads in a game, it doesn’t mean that he is gonna be good at it in real life

[@Oreggon]

Traffic doesn’t work the same in CS as it does in real life

[@0kaykay0]

You are so talented! Thank you for making all these videos.

[@noroimusha9026]

im so shit at planning cities....i always end up with one big ass road and a buncha connecting roads and creating huge traffic jams

[@alexeverson2015]

Fred I'm exactly the same, but I just got the game 2 weeks ago

[@ASTZDomidragon]

Great city, but way too much intersections, that will cause traffic problems for you.

[@kassamabutarboush8205]

I agree👍👌👏

[@LeahnardoDuhVinchi]

ASTZDomidragon Yup. Much like real life one way roundabouts are the way to go

[@Vorexia]

+ASTZDomidragon Well, the more Road connections you have the more coverage your services have. That's one thing, I guess. There are of course other benefits with dense roads.

[@Treviisolion]

+Atomic Eagle Though you can make intersections that won't slow down traffic which is the problem with being too grid like, you just get a bunch of stoplights everywhere. But eliminating left turns (or right turns if people drive on the left side of the road) eliminates a lot of stoplights and can allow dense traffic to move quickly while still having fairly dense roads.

[@Vorexia]

Trevyn Case Well, that is true indeed. But in the most situations, the dense roads aren't packed with traffic jams anyways, neither are they busy. Although the quickest way to work (Office, Commercial, Industry, City Service) would be dipped with people transporting materials, going to work, grocery shopping, etc.

[@nathanstucki3575]

Always a classic, " My requirements of traffic Fluidity" lol

[@flordelizaibayan3702]

I just watched his vid streams in RCT and Sim City . I find the change in his voice funny...

[@Dremsilruth]

36:30 Ground's not flat, ground's not flat, ground's not flat... ground's not flat... ground's not flat... Grooouunnddsssss noot flaaaeaeught........ Love the videos tho. Didn't stop watching until I realized it was 4 in the morning.

[@FlightofCrows]

You have three different roads leading from your bus terminal to your boulevard right now, and while it looks good, it's probably not the best idea. Only so many buses will be using those roads while that boulevard is going to be very congested already due to it's position. It might make more sense for all three bus roads to converge into a single road before it merges with the boulevard, so as to create only one intersection with street lights instead of three. Just a thought. Great video. I freaking hate your talent for making roads look good.

[@MightyHeracross]

Awesome bus depot! You should make it the asset editor so you can use it in other parts of your region because i assume 1 depot will not be large enough. Also, from what I could tell, it seems you may have forgotten about the ramp into the industrial area and how it goes before a ramp in your interchange, meaning that people on the certain ramp from the interchange will not be able to get into the industrial area :)

[@wernervandermerwe8422]

damn it really shows you how far has this game gotten with all the newer quality of life mods like traffic manager, networks, move it, road anarchy etc. and all the new dlc's. I pirated the game and didnt have all the dlc's and any mods. so i bought the game at long last and it was probably one of the best games i bought for the money. really like to hear the thought process before building a road instead of being like me in my first city and just build a big grid and build outwards off one avenue untill disaster strikes and you have to redo your literal whole city to fix traffic problems xD

[@AxisGaming]

I'm Loving This Fluxburgh! It's Awesome :D

[@hallilied9450]

Im loving it so far

[@Misterspork57]

This episode gave me flashbacks to OpenTTD

[@Pedrito2513]

Can't wait for the next video! Awesome series, bro.

[@AlecWinnTeamMinecraftain]

SOOO much better than sim CITY!!

[@acw102574]

Alec W um what.! Sim city is free man

[@TS_Mind_Swept]

You ought to make more videos with you talking in them, I like hearing you talk, it's entertaining.

[@Girruuth]

Most city traffic problems arise from Industrial traffic, ie Big Trucks. You probably won't have too many traffic problems since you aren't using traditional industrial zones, eliminating big truck traffic. jumping straight to Offices is a great way to reduce traffic problems. Well done.

[@oldhipoz9426]

Another great series, you got me hooked again. Would it be possible to put your main large entry on the workshop, I realise that it would need to be uploaded in parts and joined together, but you would't be the first to do this.

[@sirhockeyhead]

You should try the toggle traffic lights mod. It would help you out.

[@rickhuntelerslag8877]

You're so good in building your city, I wish that I was that good as you :)

[@thanesgames9685]

Indecision: Skylines! :) But 300,000 views says its a winning formula! I am constantly surprised to see how much time I blow trying to get my citizens to use roads properly... I love the spaghetti intersection. That thing looks built to last!

[@reegan2238]

All these people complaining and I'm over here staring in wonder on how he thinks of making this entire city... I'm legit I'm awe....👀👀👀

[@wewillrockyou1986]

You really ought to add more exits on the motorway, distributing the load over multiple points reduces the congestion much better. Ideally you want to get as much of the traffic on motorways for as long as possible.

[@jcm2606]

Flux, may already know but the reason why traffic is not using new roads isn't due to the fact that you have more residents living up the top of your city. In SimCity, at least to my knowledge traffic is dynamic, it calculates the best route to take on-the-fly so when you add a new road in they switch immediately to attempt to use that one if it's a better option. C:S on the other hand is different in that residents have their destination set when they spawn, so you have to wait for new traffic to spawn to see how a new road changes your city's traffic.

[@someone4159]

Dude your city is so perfect wtff 😲😲

[@Kopfkissen224]

*waiting for the new part*

[@fictionofthegalaxy4002]

Ya your doing a fantastic job

[@delano2486]

Looks so far really nice :D

[@tennyson_thibeau]

Noice. If you are still working on this I just wanted to tell you that where I live, my town used merging really well and I think you could too

[@dlwatib]

Those overhead walkways at the bus terminal make no sense! The passengers can simply walk around the buses on the ground. They don't need to climb up tall ramps to go over them. Even if there was a need for overhead walkways, you only need one ramp to get up and down for each bus. Most buses only have a door at the front. What would make sense would be to have a roof over the passenger waiting areas so they don't get soaked waiting in the rain for their ride. Also, benches would be nice.

[@ClubpenguinLego]

Love the long videos *****

[@keeseijnden4792]

This video is great for my ocd

[@elitepothead9359]

Nice video

[@kylecasserly6664]

you seriously need to be hired by legit city planners

[@ghmbass3936]

I love your videos! Im from Brasil :)

[@smithchrisable]

I find this very inspiring.

[@flamingcafefeen]

Wow looked awesome! May i ask you, whenever you have the time can you upload a short video to see how your bus transit run? Thx

[@Fluxtrance]

Arifeen Hassan Yeah. The next video will actually cover most of that.

[@daggertom1]

Neil Fairbanks here: Avenues rule in Fluxburgh but roads becoming endangered. *flashes icon red*

[@frosenbhai]

Yeah, been waiting for this.

[@Thepuglover100]

Are you going to make a section with just houses instead of apartments?!

[@Fluxtrance]

Thethemeparklover Themeparkreviewer Yep! This is just the urban/city park of Fluxburgh. I will definitely have districts of farmland and suburbs later in the series.

[@Thepuglover100]

Nicee!

[@sixtoperearubio4576]

How come you don't use the four-lane avenues as well? It could give even more diversity to your city!

[@marcmnsted-martin7509]

You should make your big intersection on steam workshop!

[@Isythos]

All your problems with slopes being awkward are because of uneven terrain. Terraform mod would help there ;)

[@tallyhobo3]

your voice kinda reminds me of gabe from the office lol

[@stormdoesstuff3997]

I love it

[@robinsmoustache]

You should call your interchange the "Cthulhu-change)

[@bobswaget118]

they NEED a tow-truck mod that adds in car crashes, traffic jams because of the crahses, and a tow truck depot that send out tow trucks when there is a crash

[@anbuhd9479]

I cant wait lol :D

[@ANTUBER]

Nice city! /I I I

[@karl-anthonytowns7625]

There could be just stores between the two avenues and he could've called it the strip

[@ScaryGamesAndMe]

Is there a workshop download for that 5 way interchange? Would totally steal that :)

[@sciencepuptheamericanjoe5812]

Flux, do you plan on adding your huge city interchange in the Steam Workshop?

[@Thunderspell81]

Flux awesome strategy, you actually made me like this game by just watching the videos am actually planning to buy it today. I need some help with some links for mods (money unlimited, and nice roads etc) i need some useful mods that would be helpful for me to start building my City Thanks and am planing to follow this strategy.

[@cookiegaming44]

cities skyline is SUPER great with mods. you can just subscribe to it on steam workshop (which is linked from the game) and bam! a mod. unlimited money and unlock all are already mods pre built in the game just open content manager on the main menu and then select mods and you can see all your mods.

[@haxpet]

Is it possible to split a road? Say you have a 6 lane road, can you just turn 3 of the lanes go one way and the other three the other way? Whitout creating an intersection in the split?

[@TIeKoRis]

perfect

[@Xsinthis]

The reason your paths weren't symmetrical with the ramps was probably because of differences in the terrain, I'm assuming you're not using a perfectly flat map

[@lorcan2541]

Also make a suburban place with curvy roads

[@droptable1610]

Upgrade those one-ways into highway and it will increase their speed

[@brandongaedke4778]

The DwarfDigger not always good cus that will pump more cars into an area faster than they leave, causing positive pressure to be inside pressure as in traffic.

[@nachochip421gamingpranksan7]

Hey i just realized that this guy sounds like the KZbinr Northernlion

[@majqeee]

it's still weird for me those city building games. 12 000 population and traffic already seems to be like in 200 000 population real city...

[@BramHoutman]

The game is scaled

[@Parkparkpark73]

Say one more time "there we go".

[@ghostbirdofprey]

That whole central road to highway interchange thing is so weird. I've never seen its like before. I have to know what the deal with making that instead of the normal diamond interchanges with surface streets perpendicular to a central highway. Even moreso, though, how the crap did you even come up with this madness?

[@TheTristan75m]

Why don't you use medium roads it will be good for the avenues in the middle of the other two avenues because I think It would look a lot better and maybe it won't affect traffic

[@echothegecko9847]

How many intersections do you need?

[@fradulantgates938]

will you make oil factories?

[@embry91]

anyone else hear the banging at 16:28 and what sounds like a person in distress?

[@eyramekpe9945]

You should try to make a train system

[@camphillips5045]

The reason the paths were not working for the station was because of varying ground heights

[@williammontgomery8812]

@Fluxtrance My wife and I really want to get into playing this game but what kind of system are you using? I am sure you must have said this before on a different video but I love how fluid and smooth your display is even though you have a TON of detail on your city. Do you have any specs you would be willing to share?

[@armybrat0353]

William Montgomery I know that this is over a year late but if you go to the ABOUT Tab on his channel page it should have his specs If I remember correctly

[@fradulantgates938]

William Montgomery I can tell you which episode it was where he sated it go to episode 2 or go to Amazon

[@fradulantgates938]

William Montgomery but I think I remember correctly I don't know

[@autumn_breeze616]

You do realize that every city needs both white collar and blue collar jobs right? Not everyone is going to get a higher education and get an office job and even if they did, your city needs to get its factory made goods from somewhere. Look at the bars on the bottom of the screen, your people want factories! Your commercial gets its goods from factories and if there aren't enough people will begin to leave. I know you want a completely green city, but news flash, that model doesn't exist as of right now. Unless you want everyone living in huts, your city has to produce pollution.

[@nickamerakee613]

Mutant Gumdropz Fun fact, that model is supported, but you need to actually design it to be supported in that way. What I mean is if you want a green city, you need to focus on imports for your commercial goods. Train stations, highways, and cargo docks are great ways to accomplish this. I don't believe airports bring in cargo yet, though I hope that's added to the game at some point.

[@autumn_breeze616]

Nick Goatmin I didn't know Cities Skylines had an import system because everyone else I've seen has to build factories to supply their commercial. If there is then let me know! (Not being snarky if it sounds that way)

[@nickamerakee613]

It's arguably easier to simply create your own supply via industry, but if you have enough places for goods to be imported it's entirely possible to dezone any polluting industrial. If you play w/o unlimited funds then it's realistic to start with industry but it's possible to phase it out by increasing your imports. It may create a bit of traffic at first, due to trucks delivering exports alongside the imports, but as either you begin dezoning or as people leave industrial jobs for office jobs, that traffic will lessen. That's how it's worked in my experience, at least.

[@autumn_breeze616]

Nick Goatmin Okay, thanks for clarifying that, I didn't think the game actually simulated that but I don't own it yet so good to know!

[@nickamerakee613]

Anytime! Heck, if I had a better computer, I'd probably make videos on these sorts of things. Alas, that is not the case.

[@Alexbeingcreative]

What are all the mods you use in this series called flux? I just got the game today I've been playing for ages now but please help me out with the names of the mods on the steam workshop you use? Thank man ...

[@cassidykelly89]

It's in the description. He is using the "unlock all" and "unlimited money" mod. I think you can also search online do for mods. This game is highly modable

[@4louisMC]

22:28 Todays date!

[@swalte6325]

What is the name of the workshop item for the roads with trees?

[@robk7266]

You can now change the one way road direction or is that a mod?

[@roryhiggins9755]

With the upgrade button you can right click and it goes in the opposite direction 😀

[@robk7266]

Rory Higgins thanks it helped me

[@doublen675]

You are so OCD it is unbelievable. Keep it up. Enjoying the series.

[@nicoledelnegro3346]

does that mean obsessed cleaning disorder?

[@MrDeatrich]

WHAT DO YOU HAVE AGAINST 4 WAYS GAH

[@Ianbellmusic]

New York New York!

[@tylerthecreator6940]

Whats weird about this city is thr fact that he used the areas near the freeway for residential and the beautiful area near the riverside of 2 rivers for office. I believe it should he swapped. Howevehis mans road layout game is super strong

[@robk7266]

The bus station was pretty lame. I've seen way cooler and more effeciante ones in the workshop. Some connect to the highways and/or use the little highway roads for the roads that aren't stops. But keep up the good work. I'm pretty sure you'll make good ones in the future.

[@ConnorEllisMusic]

That was supposed to be the big park! :(

[@noahlenkeit3606]

No one else sees the upside down 666 for the busses?
