[@ihmss007]

Biffa, at 37:50 you have the tram line going into the wrong lanes near the bus and tram station. They are crossing over and not using your custom road. Glad you're starting to mend

[@Simon-fg8iz]

Make the "sidewalks" narrower on those mega-roads. It's a public transport road, you definitely don't want parking on it, and 5m is enough for an entire two-line road in the civilized world, not a single-side sidewalk. You could also make the driving lanes narrower, we don't need american-scaled roads. Look at how the dutch do it: narrow car lanes so the entire road is narrower.

[@smortboi1320]

3m lanes are the minimum for road builder

[@C-WIT]

But why do you want the road to be narrower?

[@Simon-fg8iz]

@@C-WIT You always go as narrow as physically possible to still accomodate traffic at the desired speed. Roads are dead space, wider roads take up space, take more pavement, make places less walkable, wastes space, ruins the sense of community and closeness, and lead to dead asphalt wastelands you see in the states all the time. Wide lanes are motorway-specific (designed for speed), and those have no business to exist inside a populated area. It's just unrealistic to be *inside* a city and see a ridiculous paved thing that looks more like a runway than a road.

[@C-WIT]

@Simon-fg8iz Well, yeah, but they're not "wide" lanes. They're just not narrow. Narrow lanes lead to accidents.

[@lordraven2264]

The Road Builder is a game changer, literally and figuratively!! That is so cool.

[@donavanaking]

Biffa, I recommend to fix the bus lanes around your city square so the buses can turn correctly. I don’t think drawing in the pink bus lanes allows the buses to turn into the lanes.

[@donavanaking]

At 37:39 it shows the buses not using the bus lanes you created around the square as they can’t turn into them.

[@RealCloudArchitect]

I feel like the outer road with the tram tracks must cross over at some point? If it is on the inside of the circular road, why is it on the outside when it gets to the bus depot? Edit: @35:20 You can see the tram crosses over to the other side of the road when they're in the tunnel under the junction.

[@stevenwilson67]

This hurt my brain

[@mastercko]

I noticed this immediately as he was laying the street down. The mix-up happens in the section where the tram road (Belmont Street) goes underneath the highway (Woodland Highway). The whole point of his custom design for this loop road was to keep the tram rails on the inside of the loop and somehow he slipped up and forgot as he was laying the street down and it ended up on the outside. Hope he eventually notices it...

[@Abingdale]

Hey Biffa! A thought- in CS1, we got the beloved New Tealand. What if in CS2 we see what NT was named after, Tealand! Another island nation? I dunno, I’ve just been thinking about NT! 😊 anyway, love ya, have a great weekend!

[@realshaho3180]

I would’ve given the cathedral a front plaza so that’s it’s a bit off the street. Beautiful centerpiece regardless

[@De_Séchelles]

43:20 44:02 please do more of this style of housing. So beautiful ❤

[@Lilianne8]

First of all, hope you and your family are feeling better! Lovely of you to put out a video despite feeling rough. Then, I think, according to the line arrows at least, that the middle car lines going round the squareabout only allow going straight on, ie round and round, and no turning - hence no one is choosing them as they will need to turn off eventually and the cars end up taking the bus-only lanes. Not sure if the game interprets it like that but that's what it looks like to my eye.

[@wteff8586]

The possibility of grassy tram tracks in the road builder mod would be brilliant

[@JeffreyOller]

16% grade on your railroads? Your engineers are gonna hate you!

[@Gary87]

The tram road you made I feel like the parking on the tram side should be removed, otherwise car would need to access the tram lines to park. Not sure if that’s even possible

[@N1troki11er]

You really should consider linking the two train stations either side of your city, id imagine it would help with the traffic as well when everyone decides to move back in.

[@ram64man]

Biffa don’t forget trash and recycling will be needed in new area due to transport time as well as local power transformer links and high powered links or power will brown out as area expands

[@alissonlares2926]

It is funny how you make the train go up and downhill just to keep an highway as plain as possible. This makes no sense, but it is funny anyway. It is even more car-centric than USA itself.

[@ggilluminati4202]

yeah sadly biffas city is *extremely* car-centric. Often even more so than US cities. ;_; The public transport in the old town for instance...

[@lauciannailor]

Got to be the 'Cathteadral District'🤪

[@0rangeGhost4]

Biffa, when you placed road with tram line near train station, tram line gets crossed. At around 35:10 you can see that it crosses in tunnel under highway interchange, which messed up the crossings. Whole tram line is a loop, so there shouldn't be any crossings

[@mies1mies]

name the new area Gyokuro (it is a type of thea)

[@StrenglingElizabeth]

Upgrading from 16% on your railroads? you are amazing

[@aldershotcoinclub]

Brewingham name suggestion 😊

[@Kopa_Malphas]

Just wait until Biffa finds "Expert mode" on the road mod.

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

I've not tried that yet, soon 👍

[@UV1K787]

You can upgrade the train station with extra platforms so you don't need the extra track from the other platforms (I haven't finished the video, will delete if you once I finish)

[@CouchPotator]

he knows, he's just trying to avoid upgrading everything to the max

[@Marconius6]

37:10 The wiggly routes for the buses here actually make sense: if they stuck to the red roads, they'd have to constantly make 'left' turns, dodging traffic from two oncoming roads to the right; turning to the right, then left, is probably actually faster. I wonder if you could make the red road a priority road, maybe set some yield signs up at those crossings or something?

[@sea75300]

Biffa, at 15:00 the tram road has parking on the right hand side directly next to the tram tracks. Parking should be moved left hand side off to the median 🤔. Otherwise there will be some odd car crossing when citizens try to park.

[@MrCheechopelli]

Hey Biffa, I think you should use those underground parkings that you´ve unlocked.... and my name suggestion would be NEW YORKshire

[@bobblebardsley]

With the cathedral there I feel like the most tea-tastic pun would be Chai-tea-dral Meadows (hyphens optional). Also lol at it being 'meadows' when it's full of 20-storey tower blocks, hehe.

[@College-Builder]

Love the way this is filling in and your use of the public transport lines. I wish adding the stops didn’t remove the trees. There should be a mod for that!! 😊

[@carriegarrisonvos4433]

Great start to the new build area!! I love the Cathedral in the middle of it. Reminds me of New York with the smaller churches surrounded by really tall buildings!! Maybe try some underground parking also. You will need a ton of it there!! Can't wait for the next episode 🤩

[@baldytail]

Chucking a load of skyscrapers up next to a world heritage sight will annoy some people.

[@Volcanix_Games]

The node issues can be fixed mostly be rebuilding the road rather than replacing

[@NineEyeRon]

13:08 Biffa’s trams go round the outside.

[@fateunleashed9680]

I'm so ready to install roadbuilder! I've been wanting a tool like this and now I feel like it and the traffic mods allow us to better control the movement of people better than ever. I'm, beyond hyped to try it out!

[@WhiskeyHunterVAT69]

Dang, that episode went by fast. Very fun build, thank you for the VOD. 🥃🥃

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

You're welcome 😁

[@stormfire962imastarcitizen5]

Biffa Love the city design that you're working on and as I said before in the past you are a true Artist and master of this game. Also I'm very happy that you're using this new mod because I've been seeing many videos on it and it is really cool. By the way sir I also did a little checking online about people who have gone through post Covid and this might help you out with some of the tiredness that you are feeling and you should also consider checking with your doctor before doing it. Taking additional vitamins might help with some of the tiredness that you're feeling and getting them through natural Food would be better for you. For example you can take a lot of vitamin C and not worry too much about overdose in your body since your body will make you pee a lot more. So if you like oranges buy a lot of oranges and eat them. You can also get a massive boost of vitamin C through Rosehip seeds. So you might want to consider increasing any intake of extra fruits and vegetables since it's always a good plus plus for your body. Also I hope that you will continue to feel better and that you'll get back to normal and away from this post Covid stuff since you're a great person and many of us want to see you stay healthy and happy. God bless to you and your entire family as well as all your friends and please stay safe.

[@3gunslingers]

Such a nice City!! But you should start zoning on the outside of your squares, too. At the moment you are wasting so much zoneable area.

[@rastapopoulos7898]

Another great episode from one of my favourite youtuber!

[@jabcmw1]

Good to hear you're on the mend

[@GolderlightGaming]

I have an interesting idea, How about a city that there is no road connections.. The only way you can go to this city is by train or air - you can still make roads in the city.. But make sure no outside connections

[@chadmalphite6937]

Loving the high density area!

[@MrMoodymaniac]

Love your MEMEs. They crack me up sometimes.

[@TheWiNiZ]

Hey Biffa, I hope you have a swift recovery from C-vid. Wishing you a great weekend!

[@charlesingram9471]

one thing i can highly recommend is when you build any junction always use the lane correction tool and remove all unsafe and all U turns, Im up to 403k cims now on my city and im finding that im having to go round every single junction and sometimes a lot of nodes also and do this to stop orky borky traffic issues, the nodes are a right pain as there is a lot in my city. you will find U turns and all sorts of unwanted lane swapping on nodes that mess the traffic up. Having said all that considering my city ground to a halt at 200k as ive spoke about, now being at 403k and its still running albeit on 1x speed, 2x is just the same as 1x.. They have done some great work on the performance. Still using the traffic despawn mod too and barring the issue where traffic deciding to just use 1 route across the map, make adjustments to cope with the overload of traffic and then they choose another route, constant battle. everything else running fine. You will save yourself a lot of headache down the road if you remove unsafe and U turns as you go.

[@ryguy2006]

I really want the station building flexibility like you see in open transport tycoon deluxe--you choose how big your station is and adjoined bus stops, ports, or airports act as one singular station.

[@davidwhite3337]

Great episode Biffa love your videos

[@ivannovalery6504]

If you have the option, i think having a raised railways among those buildings would fit the theme

[@HTadd1ct]

Missing fix your cities videos

[@Al-Brown_BluesChannel]

I hope that you feel better Biffa !!!

[@MyLegion01]

Is going great the City ... I think it'll need medium housing and medium with commercial to be more like a center and going down the country side in the river more farms and industry

[@Cirora]

Probably won't be ideal for this new district, considering the main building is a cathedral, and forgive me if you've already gotten a name similar or identical to this one (I just recently started catching up again with this series, though I started from the newest videos, lol, because the traffic fixing got me interested), but -- Educateaon Disctrict. Keep up the good work! :D I really love the idea of that create-your-own-roads mod. Godsent, I'm sure.

[@avolenter]

U can use the 2way buslane road and replace tool together. So you dont have to click 2 times in a road. I see u placing 1way buslane roads with replace tool. 21:55

[@DrakeGamer85]

If the population reached 90,000, then that would be fan-sipping-tastic.

[@ashwinmenon6433]

I see 4 areas here, and they're mostly grids. So maybe, Chamomile Crossroads, Darjeeling Diagonal, Oolong Overlaps, Sencha Squares, or Earl Grey Grids, or Chai Checkers or Matcha Matrix. 🤣🤣

[@noody707]

38:48 XTea District? Bus lines looks like X

[@TheSamWise7]

Ca-tea-dral for the new district name after seeking inspiration from Notre Dame :)

[@MAR_24LookedAtYourVid]

YAY! Under 5 miniutes! :D. I LOVE UR cities skylines vid biffa btw! Ive been subbed for a while! Keep up the amazing work! Im on ur discord as well! :)

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

Awesome, thank you! :-)

[@mountainmangames3613]

At 32:50 you talk about needing to remove the trees. Wasnt there a section on the road maker mod named "platform"? Maybe that could work in conjunction with the trees? Hopefully the mod works on geforce now, I'm excited!!

[@Arbol-kx5oc]

I think that you can swap the path+parking lane to the middle so you don't have this weird parking lane, which never can be accesed (because of the rails). If they are in the middle, it should be also easier to upgrade this road to an asymetrical one, because most upgrades just need the space of the two parking lanes.

[@nicolasrojas6454]

The new district looks like Salt lake city with it's perfectly square grid and huge temple in the middle

[@bbbenj]

Great, thanks!

[@taimoorshah8230]

high-tea land thats what i would call this place

[@RexMastersMusicOfficial]

That custom road mod aswell as lane connector/ tmpe and the repainter mods need to just be part of the base game It’s these types of tools I expected to be in CS2 after the devs spent so many years in CS1 going through the most popular mods

[@tornado_smith]

The multi storeys have a distinct Vice City vibe

[@rynezuzinec688]

Your bus lanes on the custom road you built are on the wrong side of the road. Buses load from the right. You can switch the directions of the lanes so they drive opposite.

[@Iceblog]

You could name the district CaTeadral Meadows 😊

[@CouchPotator]

I don't like how you put the second elementary school so close to the first, but separated by a road. You should have Anarchy-ed the two schools so they fit side-by-side in the same road square.

[@ryancomfy]

District name "Downtown PG" Thanks Biffa :)

[@WillyLangley]

Nice Video!

[@elderdragon5745]

I haven't played CS2 yet, and I'm not gonna compare to CS1 because I don't think it works. But from someone interested in -- and with limited knowledge about -- city planning, it seems that your bus lines are way too long. A smaller bus station near the centre of the new area (like where the hospital is, maybe on the other side) where passenger could commute lines sounds like a better fit. Passengers would use shorter lines to move around in the neighbourhood, and longer lines, maybe even the tram lines, to go longer distances and connect to the big hub with trains, the big bus station, and tram depot. And the subway could do the job of getting them across the river to the industry and the older districts, but also the train tracks are already there, so that's also an option.

[@printabledocumentfile]

Outside the bus station the tram goes in the bus lane place a waypoint :)

[@johnduderidge9037]

Feedback to the devs 1. implement traffic diet roads where a 4 way is narrowed to a 3 way with the central lane used only for turning across the road (so you get a 2 lane road that isn't blocked for turning off). 2. add support for single track working for trains / trams + passing loops (reduces build and maintenance cost for intermediate volume lines...)

[@lukasr5867]

There already is the three-lane asymmetric road, which Biffa routinely uses and does exactly what you're asking for. There are also single track rails at least for trains, not sure about trams.

[@TierZGG]

We want video every day 🙂

[@granthardy7339]

Names: burgentea, arc de teaomphe or camomile in reference to the French main building

[@stevengalloway8052]

Biffa, I just noticed that your central business district is a hop, skip and jump from the farm fields... 😆

[@chayes124]

Should call the new district Brew-mingham or endingbrewer

[@jamesriley2436]

thought ill give a naming a city ago, (High Rise) for all the tall buildings reaching for the sky's and high population it will have in the future and by the looks of it with the schools you need, high education. maybe a sec option ( High Rise Cathedral ).

[@RaniaPangarep]

Bravo biffa

[@bocahdongo7769]

I really wait for full mass transportation build from you

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

With the new area taking shape the next episode, iirc, covers a ton of mass transit :-)

[@slowchatter]

Gotta watch it 4mins after release 👍🏻

[@krunskisenpai9148]

Biffa da GOAT 🐐

[@Silvermoonshadow]

New Biffa! Yay!

[@noahkohn9350]

Can you use the same lane trick you used for the bus lanes to stop the tram lines from going where you don’t want them to go?

[@Cities-By-Maps]

Love the look of the road builder mod but will there be the ability to make custom bridges and tunnels eventually also the ability to create a train and car shared lanes like a place in America I seen on KZbin.😊

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

Roads your make will also act like bridges or tunnels when raised and lowered as normal.

[@De_Séchelles]

Amazing video sir ❤

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

So nice of you :-)

[@fubar4fun]

If you left a gap filled with trees between the bus station and the tram depot you wouldn't have the problem with the wonky tram tracks from the bus lanes. Yeah COVID hangover, I get it...

[@StarryTheSuperstar]

hey biffa, i think you should name the district Teafalgar.

[@kristinpagan2361]

@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines you asked how much population did the new area would've added? Well what was the final figure? I would've said 10,000 more people but the game at 43:13 shows only an extra 5,000 moved in (37,493 final vs 32,513 @ 3 mins into video)

[@MaS-ch2id]

Hello. If I am not mistaken, your squareabout arount the cathedral only allos left turns for cars. This seems as if no one can get out once in there? Does that function propperly? Anyway, thanks for the enjoyable content as always, and may your teasupply never run dry.

[@PHunter79]

"Chaipel Square" for the new district

[@nicksanfilippo9513]

you should change the outside connected city names to some of your old previous cites from CS1. i never see anyone change the outside cities names..... feel like i'm the only one that does that lol

[@damnimloomin]

I feel like you need to remove parking on your transit roads to make them less wide but also because cars should not be parking within the dedicated train/ bus areas.

[@piotrfijoek1095]

I have major concern those trams won't be utilized much because they're not connecting important parts of the city in the shortest routes nor go through the most dense areas. So people would choose the quickest means of transport which may be cars at this point or buses. I do like that road mod. The tram road you did is what we have in my city but 2 lanes in each direction + a two-way tram track on the side. I wonder if establishing the bus routes to the other cities would make people take them instead of taxis. I'm looking forward how this city will turn out!

[@simongeard4824]

I was thinking the same thing... the trams are looping around the periphery, rather than providing connectivity to the town center where all the density is. He's used buses for that, but I'm not sure buses will have the capacity to serve what could be a very high-traffic area.

[@washingmachineenvy]

I feel like Cabageddon was right there

[@draigaur9543]

Biffa did you fix the extra car lane on the right side on your tram road , you have two car lanes on the left, up and down, and an extra one furthest right side ?

[@TierZGG]

The district should be named BLACK CHAI .. which mean black tea

[@raikane3]

On the bus route going out from the bus station on the 3rd left the bus should cross to the right hand lane not stay left that way when it turns right it will not cut across traffic wanting to go straight on.

[@user-th3vr1oi8k]

You're better I got two ideas I want to outer region transport hub and in the city region hub turn connect like the train service and the metro and the buses are in there on an intercity it's a bit smaller with the metro and the Buses nothing could be good add remember your place to train station lost episode I don't know where you put it but make that your hub America have some taxis keep up the good work I think this will work😊😊😊

[@bjlee2011]

Hope you feel better but you've caught covid more time's than anybody I know

[@tryrex6884]

Guys i have a problem, in my cities skylines 2 game i dont have the mod HUDs, like i dont have the icon for MoveIt or FindIt. I dont have the icons of any of the mod i installed. The mods are usable if they have hotkeys like the find it mod so the mods are all active but without showing there icons
