Everyone is obsessed with retaining walls :P I think I've watched youtubers make retaining walls more than anything else at this point. That planned riverfront looks amazing though. I really hope they give us a tool for waterfront roads that automates this.

[@Thaiman]

yeah there is a mod... search for Extended Road Upgrades 1.1.1 the first link you found is a modding website and you found this mod there and many other mods.

[@isaccobosio1540]

Hey Biffa! Great video as always! I noticed that at 2:00 you set the road budget to 90%, not the "Education & reasearch" as you did before!

[@Qualiall1]

Important tip from someone who went through this himself. Make sure you turn off bypass validation in dev tools when you don't need it anymore. I accidentally clicked weird and put 2 colleges down on top of each other. When I deleted one, the game crashed and I didn't have any recent autosaves handy,

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

👍

[@neonada.official]

How this still happens is beyond me. There's an autosave function: use it.

[@daniel_4625]

Hey Biffa, if you go into transport menu you can toggle the visibilty of each line, which makes it a ton easier to move stops when you have a few overlapping lines (7:23)

[@TL126]

Double-clicking the road makes a node so you don't have to draw little road spurs

At 18:10, I've noticed that zoning in the next level up (so mid-density/row townhouses from the low density) helps with those complaining about high rent, even if their taxes are set low (like 8%).

[@bryandensley6220]

That train at the end @40:30 simply went past that junction, stopped, then went backwards through the junction to another line. It doesn't seem to be able to get cleanly from that station to where it wants to go.

[@tigonologdring9189]

Might want to double-up on the cargo terminal lines (expansion option) for the Tealand rail head especially, now you've got multiple lines going in and out. Plus, don't worry about curving lines in both directions from the rail maintenance yards: you can run a two-way track siding alongside the main line and link back the other way; just make the siding line long enough for a full length train. If you're stuck that is. Loving the snow!

[@hanneken4026]

If you've got such a long stretch of water bordered on both sides by steep walls (like at 16:30), you might want to create a narrow "landing strip" or shallow-sloping way to get out of the water. Both for any people who fall in, in (drunken) accidents, and for any animals and wildlife, cats or dogs, hedgehogs or deer too - it's hard to keep swimming for long to reach a place where they can get out, if the water is cold and they don't know where to go. Those steep-walled city canals are a significant drowning danger in Amsterdam, when drunk tourists pee in the canals in the dark and fall in. Deer have drowned in the big rural canals with hard sides if they jump in to cross, or to escape from dogs, and then find the reinforced sides are only just too high for them to clamber out again. So now they often include more natural berms at regular intervals where there is some greenery beside the canal, or stairs with something like a small pontoon with a sloping side at the bottom.

[@kaylahaas]

I love KZbin comments that teach me random details about things like this, something I never would’ve wondered about in my own.

The earlies I've been to Biffa's video! The city looks so nice from the first person perspective 🥺

[@HediSmida]

Amazing to see the shift from Truck mostly to Train mostly to move the cargo! Better for traffic, less pollution, and all the efficiency! Trains, Trains, Trains!

[@timjaysadler3097]

I did a fresh Windows install, updated my bios, updated the drivers that windows didn't handle and have to say the game is actually running pretty good now. It's almost like I upgraded my machine a little. Worth doing if your system is a couple years old IMO.

[@helljumper116]

Sweet, I've been waiting for this episode. But it's very worth waiting this long. I'm happy to see you still putting out videos.

[@rileywhetstone1755]

Thanks for your time and energy in making these videos. Until next time, have a great week!👍

[@mantabloke8141]

Baffa - not sure if you noticed but there is a road next to the rail line before you send it accross to your new area that you havent hooked up

[@SeregaKRYL]

We were testing traffic simulation recently and it looks like the lane mathematics contributes to the traffic jasms. The cars start changing lanes when they don't need to an so create traffic jams. You return the lanes to normal and that's it

[@glitchless3627]

bro, not gonna lie, when you zoomed out at 2:20 I had a felling of playing unturned. and idk why. maybe cuz of the cool city or cuz of the layout of it. but I enjoyed the video and keep up the amazing content!

[@Petr_Kraus]

18:15 The only resident of that building is a happy dog complaining about high rent. Seem like dogs are not getting high-paying jobs in this game.

[@MarcPi]

The railyards should be able to have more trains. 25 would be a good number.

[@RryhhbfrHhgdHhgd356]

Eh. Not for a railyard of that size. Trains are space hungry.

[@MarcPi]

@@RryhhbfrHhgdHhgd356I worked in a train company and we had 25 trains approx on our depot and maintenance which was that size. In other 3 small depots and 2 staions we had a total of 65 trains.

[@capedkat]

This was another great episode again, Biffa! Thanks for the effort you put in all of your videos ☺ I'm left with one question; What did your harbor/canal do for the land value? Does it go up, like in CS1?

[@carriegarrisonvos4433]

Love the new river front!! That will cause the values to go up!! Love all the new things you are showing us!! As usual, I look forward to another video soon 🤩

[@devttyUSB0]

Nice water front you've built there! Thanks for the video!! Always nice to get some inspiration from your builds!

[@AnoNymous-ie3wc]

14:25 no need to delete the road. Just lift the terrain under the road so the center of the road is located on land

[@Kennyancat]

Nice and fresh eyy. Thanks Biffa for all the content!

[@BlazingsNL]

Many episodes later and citizens are still drinking polluted ground water I see hahah Also that train at 39:10 did a bit of yoga along the way

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

Only slightly 😉

[@woot2111]

You should add a passenger rail line to your new ore and grain expansion just for convenience sake for your people.

[@highlorddarkstar]

A couple of comments… 1) there’s no need to put all the rail depots in the same place. As your city grows it is reasonable to have extra depots on the other side of town. 2)while I like lighted highways, you had a high-power line right there! Drop in a transformer and prevent bottlenecks later.

[@ulruc]

For your round park with trash issues, are you sure the trucks can reach it? Seems like you have walking paths only reaching it.

[@mathollaplays]

not possible.... parks need to be put beside roads. Even the pedestrian road allow service vehicle. The issue maybe the distance.... Setting district for the service builds is a must.

[@lightcrowd42040]

11:10 Mail sorting facilities and post offices aren't the same thing Biffa!

[@kyleanderson3787]

5:43 your talking about making a waterfront. In your last upload of the mods you already had the water front made I noticed. 😮

[@supaflytoon7684]

I told You on earlier videos that overcharging for public transport and parking does have impact on sims house economy now - which is actually working against entire city's economy - if sims have more money left - they upgrade their homes which in term brings more money long term. IRL public transport is usually not self sustained - deals with cities, counties, boroughs bring extra money to transport companies, but that's beneficial to those governing bodies too - because less traffic / better transport options for citizens and businesses = better potential for growth and more money from taxes ;p

[@amandadeloff4278]

Biffa raising all of the transport lines to super expensive and then wondering why no one was using them? 😂 😂

[@OnTheNerdySide]

TBF, he did say he was experimenting with it. Everyone's learning the game still, Biffa included.

[@JeffereyBerger87]

Looking at your stats at 44:56 what happened to all your tourists?!? Did you unintentionally miss a movement into your passenger station?

[@Boslow123]

Hi Biffa. Loving your videos as ever. There is another ore island to the southeast, so you could have Northern Oreland and the Republic of Oreland!!!

[@krisz1156]

39:10 that twitchy train was hilarious for me, it looks like the train has to pee badly 😄

[@arakainer]

I have suggestion of minor change: lets set weather to always summer, I dont like winter look at all. Is someone with me?

[@randomchick1234]

I like it! Maybe because I live somewhere with zero snow but I think it's pretty

[@HeliumFreak]

I don't mind the winter I just think the way it's implemented is really janky

[@chrisholst3491]

I like it but it should have a bit more detail to it!

[@kaylahaas]

I live in somewhere that gets snow like half the year and it’s miserable. The last thing I want is to see the awful stuff in game

[@TheFrontyer]

Agree. Love snow, but this looks nothing like real snow or winter.

[@ruaridunsmuir1227]

Question - The ore/coal/stone industry areas, they always remain as large empty grey areas or do they get buildings/infratructure? And the farms, are they always one field per farm building?

[@playlisttarmac]

I have a building show on ore. On stone you get an enormous digger if the area is big enough. I have not yet seen anything on coal but my coal area is small.

[@Bruhkake]

Unfortunately I probably won't ever play CSII - after the launch, I've just really been turned off by the developer even if they fix it, but I love watching your videos and Kettle bridge has been a binge series for me so thank you so much Biffa ❤

[@mexieboy1]

you should add some livestock farms around the new farm area, make it a little bigger :)

[@Boradumir]

Industrial areas get their own power stations in my cities. especially if there is a high voltage line in direct side. And it's pretty realistic too. But that's just me. But I love what you did in this episode.

[@MorphineTR]

When building specialised industries does it matter if you make multiple buildings or 1 building with big parcels in a natural reservoir?

[@DonGorgen]

Production buildings have a limited ammount of vehicles, so even if they do produce more having a larger area they would only be able to ship out so much.

[@elFulberto]

0:10 Nice fountain you got there. What do you add to the water to keep it from freezing in the winter? Glycerine?

[@jimUkay]

You might want to check that same train tracks because the train seem like it still didn't want to cross. 😮

[@alps1032]

How to switch between the modes that you do just before this second 2:35? What button is it by default?

[@margaretthym8234]

I think you can change your mouse size in the settings of your computer. I have a rather large cursor and was able to change it under the accessibility tab of my computer settings. Not sure if it would apply to in game but it's an idea. Perhaps the game has some accessibility settings as well? I would look there if it does.

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

Doesn't work in game 👍

[@speedarrow34]

Did anyone else think that biffa's new river looks like the river thames in London? Good job by the way biffa! Really cool

[@inyobill]

Instead of deleting the roads to make retaining walls, can we do the replace thing? replace with another road, then reapply the desried?

[@mattmccaul365]

I love it. Like a river between is amazing. Like London or Ireland or LA. Or Chicago #inspired

[@M4rtinnn]

Thanks for the video. It's a bit of a shame to say but watching your videos is some great inspiration for my own game. It's always like: I want to do this or that but Biffa did it that way and it looks just cool. :)

[@kevinair7669]

You should get ride of the snow with the debug menu. I find the city boring with the snow....

[@TheEventHorizon909]

Unsurprisingly a non-profit centered public transit network (or free in this case) has more economic benefits and therefore profit then a profit centric one

[@schubertadam]

Question is... now that you've placed a train cargo hub, will your post office now not cease to work? (known bug)

[@Firleman]

I'm wondering if the building for the specialized industry also has to be in the natural resource zone or can you just have the "working" are in it? As you can planned the ore mining stuff I noticed that the industry buildings took up quite some space of the natural resource.

[@Ponury_Charon]

I'm always and from start setting public transport for free - it reduces car usage so there is no or at least less traffic jams and ewerything is going smother

[@TS_Mind_Swept]

36:12 lmbo, the bell LUL Lower taxes, free public transit, and the city is still making tons of money? I wonder when cities IRL are going to figure this stat out 🤔

[@c.morland]

Mass transit is still my favourite part of these games

[@jsnsk101]

your farm will provide food for about 3 families. Scale is ridiculous in this game

[@Double_A-Ron]

I have to comment. My last name is Viken! I'm from the USA but my dads family is from Norway. Skinderviken is the family name, shortened to Viken, not a common last name here. I love your videos. I've seen my last name on Jeopardy and now Biffa! thanks!

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

[@TheFrontyer]

Is there a way to get rid of snow? It looks nothing like real snow, looks awful.

[@inyobill]

04:00: 10 vehicles and 29% usage, I would reduce the number of vehicles, if 10 isn't the minimum.

[@kenohtx]

Seeing the FPS mod ... is it possible to create a city in CS2 then import that city into lets say Unity and use it to create an open world game?

[@anderssn]

Not a fan of the "water front" basically a massive pool when you could've just done that at the natural shoreline?

[@ram64man]

You should add a inverter for Viking when the weather gets cooler far away areas complain of overload and you will lose power

[@Captcrunch26]

Did you place the park maintenance building so they can clean the park ? If not I think it would help

[@RestartB]

just a warning, i found that after i built a cargo train terminal (it happens with cargo ports too) my mail service stopped working, meaning my citizens got very unhappy and i was losing a lot of money, so you might want to monitor that

I've seen issues where garbage trucks don't go down some culdesac roads. Connecting them up got the trucks to drive down them and got rid of "full of trash" issues

[@College-Builder]

Great progress on the public transport. Now that you added the road maintenance hopefully that will reduce the crashes 😂

[@DonGorgen]

But if everyone crash their cars they will be forced to walk and not causing traffic, that's a win win for everyone. (Exept the poor people who have to walk through a bizard to get to the bus stop)

I've been getting "high rent" waves, like the old death waves. And the demand for low rent housing seems to change, so I'm getting a lot of abandoned low rent buildings. I've been a lot more deliberate on putting in small, medium and large housing neighborhoods on my newest build. I had to abandon a build because it kept crashing, not sure why.
