Cities Skylines Multiplayer & I Still have to Fix Traffic & Build a Roundabout! (5B1C)

[@Aryav_]

This game would actually be so much fun if it had real multiplayer

[@ludicrouscupcake8988]

I totally agree with you and one can only hope there will be one in Cities Skylines 2. For now however, you can check out Cities Skylines Multiplayer Mod [CSM] on Steam Workshop :) It has some issues, but otherwise work remarkably well

[@delroyclarke1989]

Got to agree with you on that one 👏

[@LunnarisLP]

it's gotta be a real multiplayer though, not that bs we had with Sim City 4 :'D

[@marcplatapus8676]

Yes. But I doubt paradox cares enough.

[@Francois424]

Was thinking about that, having "outside connexions" lead to other cities would be nice... Especially if you have yearly report of you vs the other player cities. Also trading between each other (I usually go WAY overboard with lumber production but always need goods). Add in the option to follow a train/plane/boat/car to other cities and once there, free cam around to check their map (with a "return to XXXXXXX" button for when you wanna get back home). Another option would be a 81 tiles map, each player get a maximum of "81/number_of_players". So we all play in the same map. A bit more chaotic, especially for ppl that can't be bothered to fix their trafic and bring the whole "region" down, haha !

[@Czardus]

Great video! Those are definitely changes I would look at making in my area as traffic develops. As mentioned, my focus on a realistic layout that develops over time doesn't fit well with despawning off due to the game's limitations but it's always fun to see how it turns out with despawning off. :-) This is such a fun series to make; I'm glad so many people have been enjoying it!

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

Yeah it;s been interesting to have a close look at how other creators do things. Thanks for letting me have a small fiddle with your junction :P

[@AdamKafei]

How about moving the industry access up the road a bit and using a roundabout to disperse the traffic while opening another route for expansion? I do think Biffa threw in the towel too early though, using synced traffic lights for the four way junction as the motorway access could probably have fixed it.

[@Czardus]

@@AdamKafei I’m planning on getting rid of that industry actually. I put it there temporarily to satisfy demand but I’m hoping some of the others get some jobs for the residents!

[@officialjosebernardo]

Lane maths for the win! I just wish this episode was longer. Would have loved to see that forestry area go in.

[@vanhovemare]

Nice roundabout! I am following this series, just a pointer on City Planner's electricity poles: they are meant to link up to the first one's nuclear power plant, so it might be an idea to link up power in between.

[@stevelknievel4183]

Does adding another connection to Czardus area improve the traffic when despawning is switched off?

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

I'll check that in my next 5B1C video...forgot in this one! ;-)

[@hquest]

That was my first thought too. Czardus pretty much had that single entrance to his city, and now that Biffa bridged it from the other side, my guess is that it would improve it by quite a lot. This is a very neat collab from you guys, looking forward for the 3rd or 4th interaction of each of you to find out how this lovely city will turn into.

[@jakec3824]

I'd love to see this roundabout on the workshop. Honestly it would be even better for a small pack of otherwise default highway infrastructure pieces that have been prettied up and had lanes fixed like this.

[@zinita7715]

Biffa, don't forget to hook both cities with a power line together. If not, city planner will do even more coal power plants ;-)

[@John-gv9iz]

So Biffa, I want to know if hooking up your new interchange to Czardus' area helped ease the traffic on the main highway, and at Czardus' highway connection that you attempted to fix at the beginning. Please tell us. My giddy aunt wants to know.

[@dracula3811]

I would think that it would help. Before the cloverleaf interchange was added there was only one way in. Now there’s two and a better access to residential and commercial

[@recovermail4260]

It helps. I just made another interchange in my city and its immediately changed traffic. It splits it and make it flow so much better.

[@crowaust]

[@StiffiX92]

Funnily enough at least in Germany they actually block the view into some crossings and t-sections to slow down traffic and force the traffic to stop. This way traffic moves slower and everybody is more careful. It is done most often to increase security or decrease accidents in a crossing or on onramps without seperate onramp lanes.

[@CompletelyCr]

For your 3 into two malarkey at about 13 minutes, have a 1 lane road coming off and down into your town to provide an extra connection (admittedly it'll only be a one way junction)

[@michaelpporter]

[@faizg8324]

Me: Builds ugly looking junctions and calls it job well done Biffa: Makes a whole episode on a very detailed motorway junction Me: Realising just how long it takes to make nice junctions and keeps making ugly ones.

[@iniehawk4472]

So true

[@patrickj]

I consider the actual structure and the detailing to be separate things, I can spend hours on the actual roads, creating an interesting and well working layout, fitting it nicely into the existing landscape, doing some terraforming, fiddling with elevation and creating smooth turns... But apart from sometimes placing some trees I cba to do any purely aesthetical detailing. That stuff is just soo easy to break or completely annihilate with even slight changes to the actual roads.

[@p75369]

Don't be dishartened, you can achieve a decent looking junction if you spend just a small bit of time making sure the roads are parrallel or smoothly curving then whilst you won't win any awards, it at least won't be ugly. 90% of the ugliness in DIY junctions is because they're wonky. Also Node Controller and Intersection Marking are godly mods. Little effort the first time and you can blitz through an intersection with good markings.

[@patrickj]

@@p75369 MoveIt! is awesome to create smooth curves, even from a wonky design. I'd also recommend Precision Engineering (2.0) and Fine Road Tool (2.0.4) for the building process.

Hi Biffa! I think this will be a fun and interesting series. Infinite money to let the creative ideas go wild.

Maybe start a map with a battery to increase starting funds a bit then bulldoze it all to start clean.

[@PedroPaz25]

A suggestion I would like to make / ask from all of the collaborators... I'm loving this series, so I would like to suggest that it would continue, one week each, in sequence... So, Czardus started it, then City Planner continued, then Biffa (who I would like to see more building), then ImperialJedi, and now, Timeister... Please keep the series in sequence for a few more weeks. I REALLY would like to see you guys building a huge city this way. I think it would look great, given the idea of all being excellent players. Also, there is another player whom I think could add something to this, making it 6B1C... That would be Overcharged Egg. Just a suggestion, of course... :D

[@GoodFunIndustries]

I'm looking forward to episode 2, and CityPlanner did 2 episodes so I think you're good to go. Don't forget to join everyone's electrical systems up for the city. CityPlannerPlays and Czardus don't have a connection for electricity either! You could have a factory or industrial area with some green energy in addition to the logging area and residential?

[@ARockRaider]

Biffa, that wishbone intersection on the highway going into "Herkimer"(seen around 12:00) could have it's extra lanes being an exit and on ramp for your side of that canal, ill bet it would look great!

[@ARockRaider]

you could also have a pair of one way bridges linking with that road that goes around the arch at that same timestamp, unless you feel like it's tampering with "Herkimer"

[@ejsvegas5724]

The Timeister is awesome at details and doing realistic cities. He plops everything so it will be interesting how he does this map.

[@ElusiveEllie]

Biffa when he has complete control: "I will whack down roundabouts and uproot families all in the name of traffic perfection! Cities rise and fall at the hands of the traffic god!" Biffa when he is limited in what he can do: "I spent 25 minutes making an intersection ☺️👉👈" It looks very nice though, hopefully some extra routes available solve the earlier traffic problems! Loved the video!

Thought the lack of preset interchanges would've been a good opportunity to create one. That cloverleaf is absolutely gastly, though with the detailing you have definitely made that turd shine.

[@Zetharion1]

An idea for another series like this one is each of you pick a certain aspect of a city to control. Like Biffa does road building, another does parks/entertainment, one does light industry, one does heavy industry, one can maybe do government/city services, etc. Maybe you guys could use the resulting map of this series to get it started off.

[@raulruiz-xh9vy]

Bruh how the hell is a roundabout the best episode yet. Hahaha need you to fix my real life city traffic.

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

[@maidenminnesota1]

Details, details. Just a suggestion for detailing: Where I live, inside the circular areas of the cloverleaf junctions, they usually have drainage, so they're filled with water and ducks. Not a great or safe place for water if you slide off the junction during winter (they're surprisingly deep), but they're nice to look at during the summer. Just an idea, though.

[@davecrupel2817]

Glad to see ImperialJedi participating in this!

[@LittleRedLemon04]

Rocks and trees. There’s an Arrogant Worms song that suits Biffa’s detailing style 🤣

[@Aquarius2937]

[@stevetaylor1447]

I love the Intersection Marking Tool. I had no idea about presets though. Did you know you can just copy and paste a set of markings from one junction to another instead of using the preset? Also, if your chevrons are pointing the wrong way, just hit the inverse button. You can also set a key preset in Options to make the filler a chevron rather than a diagonal. I've started wondering if I play just so I can make nice markings on my junctions...

[@ragerancher]

As an actual civil engineer, the chevrons the wrong way and the trees/full height barriers in the lines of visibility make me cry :D

[@andrewruss1164]

+1 Easy way to remember is the point of the chevrons always faces oncoming traffic.

[@dycedargselderbrother5353]

Rather than looks or traffic flow I find the biggest advantage of homemade interchanges is that you can fit them into existing terrain or highway curves, which you can see in this video. Sometimes squaring up the highway to a prefab interchange is actually a bigger challenge. I found the exercise a bit intimidating at first and other people seem to also given the number of people who say they don't want to do it. My suggestion is to look up just one and make that one the interchange you use for everything or at least everything of a certain type, e.g. always use homemade trumpets for highway T junctions). Then when you get confident or bored, figure out how to build a second one. After some time you'll just figure out how to customize the interchanges and to not always build them at perfect right angles and exactly X numbers of units.

[@LadyGaDieVa]

I think the city should be named CommuniTea : a pun that reflects the collaborative effort

[@eoghansmith7253]

[@j.j.r.6075]

Hey Biffa, I think the interchange looks great. You could do something really different to the other areas with the forestry and all - maybe more rural/suburba to start with? - fits in well with the forestry, and your detailing skills match it well I think.
