[@flepgg]

Hey. If 90% of that oil industrial area wants to turn right to go to the highway, just put a slip lane there to bypass the traffic light, that is something very common specially on industrial areas. No logic to force the traffic to waste time on the junction if they want to just turn right

[@BenDurham]

Slip lanes are typically dangerous for pedestrians. At least in reality.

[@AM-er9zr]

Biffa, not to discredit the new transport hub you made, but I’d love to see you use one of the newer multi hubs! Love the vids as always.

[@duszhduszh]

I agree. Even if with the train line near the bus hub it almost screams for a multi-hub maybe even including bus, metro and train.

[@JonZiegler6]

@@duszhduszh honestly, they aren't even that near each other...I used to live in a city that had roughly the same distance between intercity bus and train stations (with a major tram hub in front of the train station) and it is a bit of a mess. If you want them separate buildings, they should be directly opposite or next to each other

[@edwardmiessner6502]

Definitely a train/metro/bus multi-hub with the metro feeding through the new section as if it has always been the city's historic core that the city government demolished and regenerated as its modern mixed-use, high-density neighborhood. There are precedents such as the demolition of Boston's West End and Scollay Square for its Charles River Park and Government Center. 😞😓😩

[@mikehemilton9610]

Biffa's channel is officially at the "Good Day Maker" level 😃 Also, i'd like to give you a suggestion: It is also possible to take large buildings intended for offices or shops, place them, and then place smaller residential buildings on top of them (when anarchy is on) so the smaller building will hide inside of the bigger one. Both buildings will continue to function as usual, and this way you can simulate mixed used buildings effectively while also getting the visuals of the cool huge skyscrapers. It can be used when you build the downtown, for example

[@jasonwojnicz]

Police, Fire, Hospital and School Board would look nice around the City Hall building. Might need a second road maintenance over by the new transport hub. A city park along the river by the low value land (near the building-ups) might help a lot. Maybe a fishing pier or something? But I love this city so far.

[@paulknight5018]

The big city buildings over this side make sense.

[@S4B3R117]

Breaks my heart when you concrete over all the nice green spaces around your apartment blocks lmao, if I lived there I would be upset. They're great opportunities to place bushes and flower imo

[@Beshman12]

You don't need to use move it, if you have anarchy and select the buildings from the search, you can just place on top on the same position that the bottom section is placed

[@HeruKane]

I love this mixed-use building structure and would love to see it be something added to base game (for all that mods are awesome). The idea of commercial on ground floor and residential above is just brilliant for many different style cities.

[@RobZebedee]

8:55 I am not sure if it ever got fixed but I remember there being a missing lane connector to allow vehicles coming from the industrial area to turn left the the crossroads. might want to have a double check instead of forcing everything onto the highway.

[@Alexiaaw]

He haven't fixed it yet :))) as you can see at 8:16, no one is turning left

[@rhodridavies9426]

Transport hub around the railway, add some commercial around it too to make it more of a destination in and of itself. If you bring the metro in, I'd bring it too City hall and have it terminate there. For this one, I'd try and make the train the primary mass transit to the area. It also sets you up for the riviera along the coast. I was also thinking you had that space beyond the tree bit where you could add some more services like a waste transfer facility, or possibly between the big road and the rail tracks up near Oregon. Gotta say, I love the mixed use buildings, it's about time they were added properly into the game anyway!

[@sorronmies]

I find it a bit strange that no single car wants to turn left when coming from the industrial are. You had there some issue with the hugo there setup just before the crossing earlier - I commented about it already when you build the oil industry area originally... but of course you might have fixed it offline.

[@jasonwojnicz]

I was noticing that too. I was thinking that allowing right on red would also help with any traffic backups. But not wanting to turn left there considering how close the farms and industries are to that road is very strange.

[@marjon1276]

I immediately noticed it too and went straight to the comments too see if anyone else noticed it hahhaha! I'm pretty sure he hasn't fixed it.

[@thenamelesspoet]

It could also be that when people turn left they then can't turn further on in the direction that that I want. Is that possible, too many Hugo-there "Do not change lanes"

[@magicalmac7505]

Also, these blocks are spaced well enough where you could place parking in the middle of the apartments and place a 1u road to get to them. It is a requirement in America that residential buildings have 1.5 parking spaces per bedroom

[@gurge4420]

And that's why half of America is covered with car parks lmao

[@heygek2769]

That is only true in suburbs and the like, not in higher density residential areas. Imagine those 60 household buildings would need 90 parking spaces 180 if they're double bedroom, not even counting the shops at the bottom.

[@turtleofthemoon]

@@heygek2769 Yeah, higher density areas definitely don't do the 1.5 spaces thing. I live in Boston and my building shares a parking lot with the building next door. Together the two buildings have probably something around 40-50 bedrooms and the parking lot has maybe 20 spaces. The waiting list to get a spot is months long, if they can even give you an estimate, and it's $150 a month once you've got one. It's kind of insane, and NYC has got to be even worse. My sister flat out sold her car when she moved down there so she didn't have to deal with it.

[@lorenzodiamantini6474]

Hey Biffa as your city grows you might want to start to build a US style highway overpass that passes through the center of your city connecting the suburbs, downtown and industry areas

[@frenchfriar]

I think one of the larger, special metro stations ought to go in the space beside the government building you placed at the end of the road. I think the one you used for Tearantula ought to be good there, a fancy large station right next to a fancy government station sounds right. A smaller stop by the school complex would make sense though.

[@edwardmiessner6502]

IDK David, doesn't the City Hall Square look to be a bit small for both the building and the Tearantula metro station? 🤔

[@BloodyMikeCore]

21:52 Hello biffa, Since you have the Zoning tools Mod, you could offset the zoning by 8 meters to create a gap of 1u between the road and the zoning, letting you put a path and putting the building facing the right road! Hope it help! Back to the video ahah

[@MatokAKAM]

One would think of adding the Metro/Bus Station next to the Town Hall. I mean you wanted to make that a focal point to that area. This would mean having people make that the point of destination for their journies.

at 29:25 , i commented on your english build that i didn't like the copy paste work, but in this case, because it is american style, that is actualy the way they build most of the subburbs, what i would like to see in a future build in this city, is a subburb with culdesacs, or however you write that. the dead end street with the big houses and round ending of the streets. love this city.

[@GamerKei]

I can't wait for you to start naming things folks suggested here and in your other city. I will say at beginning of the video there's an overpass that has the middle road doing two things when it's going into an asymmetrical road so it's one forward, one forward and right, and one only right. The problem being there's only one street going to the right so they get in each other's way. Also I've been binge watching your cities and have finally discovered the area called Fartea.

[@robierap]

The mixed-used buildings takes up city building a notch-up! It’s great realism as the latest urban and city planning principles.

[@Egalatae]

At 8:30 in, you start adjusting the exit of your industrial harbour area, and your right turn issue. I'd suggest that the road that was originally blocked, have it exit as 1 lane left, 1 lane straight on, and give the traffic turning right a 2 lane filter road coming off before the junction. That way they don't have to stop for the lights. Brand new player here, I'd love to see a video on how to install mods etc when the IO program got broken. I'm playing vanilla with no mods and no DLC at the mo

[@InquisitorHades]

[@andrewyoung3299]

The mixed use areas are becoming very popular over here in Australia, Biffa. Most noticeable in the inner suburbs, which are closer to the CBD

[@Daantje1902]

I'm using Smilies' assets as well, and what I like is the possibility for roads to go around corners. Most of his mixed-used are for 60 and 120 degrees corners. I'd love to see you do small high-rise communities with just that - People entering the community, park their cars and have everything they need within walking distance. With this principle, there could even be less grids and more dynamic layouts!

[@Kotiare]

As a Canadian, I appreciate the Tim Horton's in the first shop in the video

[@JohnBTW]

One thing to add for American Realism is an American Football field for the High Schools with a track around it. Every school has one.

[@generalsociety9607]

Stuff like this is my primary reason for wanting Cities Skylines 2. Mods are great, but they can't change the basic foundation of the game. Cities Skylines, in its current state, is rather car-centric. There are no mixed-use zones or buildings, and it's impossible to build walk-only areas. I hope the sequel deals with this and makes some of the more significant mods a base game feature (e.g. Move it, TMPE, etc.).

[@jaydouglas1090]

Biffa on your next Main Street you should try to use mixed used commercial and residential spaces offset back from the road but have a tram line between road and shops. You can use the node controller trick overcharged egg uses to put the trams and street on the same node and then make the node larger so it looks like the trams run parallel to the road. For the mixed use, then move the building spawn point to the back of the building and have your road access from the back. The shops will face the street but all access will be from the back to keep traffic away from Main Street.

[@playtimewithdragonfire]

@Biffa Always a pleasure to see your work. I think the new area turned out amazingly well. Perhaps you could check the Hugo-there directions exiting the industrial area. It is strange that nothing wants to turn left at all.

[@capngramma8960]

I know of some mixed use buildings that are shops on the bottom couple of floors, then offices for a few floors, then apartments or condos above that. All 3 needs fulfilled by one building.

[@edwardmiessner6502]

The new section looks as if it has always been the city's historic core but the city government decided to demolish the old center as "slum clearance/blight removal" and regenerated as its modern mixed-use, high-density neighborhood. It cries out for multiple metro lines running through it with one of the lines meeting the railway station and bus terminal in a multimedia hub. There are such hubs in the game already either in one of the DLCs or mods. There are precedents for this district such as the demolition of Boston's West End and Scollay Square for its Charles River Park and Government Center. 😞😓😩 Also I was thinking, maybe the road by the original neighborhood that used to be a stroad could be upgraded to a freeway? 🤔

[@stevengalloway8052]

Biffa, I recall some of Smilies's mixed use buildings are angled as well. Perhaps you can also angle the roads and streets to match the buildings, giving you an interesting layout... 😏

[@kasbakgaming]

I think if you draw a large park area over the condos with the open space in the middle, you can then erase the sections of it over the buildings/roads and get a whole bunch of small park sections in between all the buildings that are treated as one big park. You can then put paths in the middle and use the park assets that are zoneable on paths. That would give you a wide spread boost to land value using space that's otherwise unused in the middle of those buildings, as well as a chance to decorate with stuff like gazebos and the playground equipment for the kiddlywinkies.

[@paulknight5018]

A couple of observations. In the American Cities I have been to downtown is mixed use (as this is) with a lot of the bigger government buildings near by. City Hall even if crowded by sky scrapers have a large plaza with fountains gardens etc out the front. Some bigger Commercial buildings (Skyscrapers if set by the river) could be good. That area is crying out for a mixed hub transit area, Bus/ Train /Metro as it is a long way from the industrial centre. I know Biffa does not like to build too many tunnels but maybe build a Hamburger Deckel for the larger roads in the city (a covered motorway which now has parks on top. I know this is non American (but Boston's big dig Seattle underground scheme and closer to home London and Liverpool have plenty of underground roads) but it seems quite a cool way that hopefully some cities will follow.

[@ximontrespalacios1257]

As a guy living in Canada at the moment, I love that the assets have Tim Horton's

[@FrancisUnson]

[@jonblair5470]

8:14 They “wanted” to turn right because what I pointed out in a previous episode. When you “Hugo’d” the 2 to 3 lane. You prevented them from getting in the left lane, then prevented them from switching from more “Hugo there” in nodes afterwards

[@jonblair5470]

Then at 8:53, since they can’t get in the far left lane, now they can’t even go straight. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[@wayneyb1978]

Any changes made with BOB will reflect on all instances of the asset, as far as I'm aware. Might be worth just moving the buildings around to try and hide the parasols

[@bradentibbles]

Tim Hortons! There is a Timmies in the lower level of the mixed use building. Yes, Canadian here..

[@HerrRoehrich]

I love Smilies' mixed use buildings, but they do have the major flaw that the high density commercial lower floors constantly make the residential upper floors sick with noise pollution. Especially when you place several modular towers close to each other, you'll have a constant stream of ambulances trying to keep up with the huge number of sick people. One way to avoid this is disable noise pollution altogether via mod, but I kinda like the feature as a whole, so that wasn't an option for me. Instead, I used the ploppable RICO mod to change the commercial floors into offices instead - since offices don't create noise pollution, they don't conflict with the residential upper levels.

[@michaelskelton7770]

Not sure if it has been mentioned before, but most US highways that are inside the city are 55-65 on their speed limit. 25 is typical for residential, 35 is typical for smaller non-residential, and 35-45 is typical for surface roads. However, I will point out that a lot of US cities have awful traffic.

[@chels4717]

Those multiuse buildings look directly pulled from Vancouver! I was looking for Canada items!

[@stevenschmidt733]

If you add one Tim Hortons you need to add a Tim Hortons in every community of your city! In Canada there is never just one Timmies in a city - one city I lived in had them across the street from each other so that traffic didn't have to turn left across traffic to get their coffee!

[@antf7156]

For the industrial area traffic could you just add a slip road turning right or onto the highway?

[@EdwardNoguera]

36:25 The size of the roads means, like in the US, there are a ton of those special turning areas and not full-on lights. What's weird is it creates a parallelogram where it should be a triangle for the side street to turn left onto the main road.

[@artistfkaW]

This is awesome biffa. Mixed use is another glaring deficiency that has to be in C:S 2

[@Kram1032]

I wish both the "snap together" system and the multizone system were supported natively (so that they can arise naturally through the simulation) in Cities Skylines. The former would be a relatively easy way to get a lot of extra diversity into the available buildings. And the later is just a really really sensible city policy the exclusion of which feels rather silly

[@thatotherguy186]

I just gave up on a build where I was using these lol. Nuked my assets list after so no more but I did like them. One of the few more modern condos on the workshop that I like.

[@ReptilianLaserbeam]

as others have noted you should change the train station for a metro/train hub, other than that the new area looks huge, maybe add a couple of parks for the little ones? and some parking buildings, maybe the underground one

[@thefreephilosopher7398]

Mixed use is something they should have in the vanilla CS2 imho...

(especially on lower end machines...)

[@Pystro]

36:18 and 36:28. You can turn the junctions into custom traffic lights and give everyone green all the time. Sadly you won't be able to make the side street give way. Possibly disallow any left turns and use lane connectors to make traffic actually flow freely instead of fighting it out. There might even be the possibility to do the following 2 phase setup: The first phase "all cars" with 3-99 second time setting and "flow ratio = 0" condition, and the second phase "all pedestrians" with 4-99 seconds and "wait ratio > 0". This SHOULD make the traffic light green for cars whenever there's a car around, but green for pedestrians otherwise. edit: Also, at 36:47 you forgot the road coming from the old side of the city.

[@LiqdPT]

29:06 I'm starting to panic about schools and possibly other services. And as I recall, the nearby neighborhood needed a school fix as there were 2 high schools (I think) rather than an elementary.

[@Peregrine101]

Some of the angular buildings you have used from the mixed use assets you squeezed into their places a little. Like the path at 23:12 where you make a straight path between back of the larger building and the condo next to it. At the angular front the facades are really close between the mixed use building and the condo next to it. Wouldn't it be nicer if the path would follow the angular facade of the mixed use building and not have the neighbors have the possibility to lend sugar for their cuppa out of the window of their homes?

[@hananditoadi7829]

OMG mixed use buildings this is a complete game changer!!!!!!

[@MrJudgementday99]

So I love how the city is going, not sure how American it is, but perhaps how America should be, it feels more Dutch to me. You bus/railway hub would have been so much better if either you had a mixed use hub or turned the bus hub to the other side of the road so it backs toward the main road, then you could have had the train station opposite it and make it feel more like a plaza. The other thing I thought would be nice is if you had the metro running down the Main Street and have an up and down loop on either side.lastly i love the plazas at the back of those houses, it would have been great if you carried it on to all of them or found something else to put at the back like a kindergarten

[@farhadchaudhry]

Well, if he really wanted to mimic the US, then he needs to do commercial/office downtown surrounded by parking garages, endless sprawl low residential suburbs with a bit of low density commercial and a few malls thrown in, all linked by highways (and definitely no lane mathematics, just traffic lights), with little to no public transportation.

Surely you only need one transport hub per town? I'd certainly place a metro stop at city Hall and perhaps behind the new build section. Several bus stops for sure, but no hubs. It always amazes me how City skylines has do many fire stations and police stations in this and the UK version. For any Americans reading, UK towns and cities typically have One police station, One fire station, one hospital... outside of capital cities. Not one in each housing estate, which would be crazy.

[@jaydouglas1090]

You can save some traffic at your starting roundabout of the city by connecting the freeway from the oil area to the the bridge the connects to the roundabout. Once you unlocked that tile, you could have changed it up so that all the incoming and outgoing traffic didn’t have to go through the one side of the roundabout. Then the overpass road could go over the roundabout to the bridge so that traffic can go straight to the factory area.
