I Built the Most EFFECIENT Train Station Ever in Cities Skylines

I Built the Most EFFECIENT Train Station Ever in Cities Skylines
Cities Skylines gameplay today exploiting our city's natural resources to make infinite money. Mainly this has been through oil and oil factories, but we're having trouble transporting the products out. So we're going to build the most efficient train station design possible to sell our products!

About Cities Skylines:
Cities Skylines is a city building game / city simulator simulation game where you build a city and manage its citizens and the traffic they cause. Build roundabouts, highways, buses, bus loops, trains, monorail, subway system, blimps and more to solve traffic problems and get unlimited money and profit every week! There’s a ton of Cities Skylines DLC as well and anytime a new Cities Skylines DLC or new Cities Skylines update comes out we’ll check it out!

[@risingcozy9176]

Keeping the train station hub is a great idea, but a better way to eliminate traffic is to have a station at each industrial area that connects to the hub. Cims will prefer passing goods around on the trains as they are faster. Trucks will only spawn when taking goods to commercial areas within the city

[@GrantPerdue]

it's because your 6 lane road loops backwards. 2 left turns. That means the left lane is the shortest route. Do an S pattern to line it up instead of the U shape. That way, you have one left and one right turn, and it'll split more evenly.

[@daveawb]

I've noticed this in my games too but I tried something a little weird, I offset the feeder road by one tile as I saw all left drive traffic favoured turning left. By offsetting in the opposite direction I appeared to have a more even split of traffic.

[@stephanr7894]

The mod Building Spawn Points might interest you, I think you could have used it to swap around the truck entry/exit points on the train terminals, could be useful in the future

[@KerbalRocketry]

the train station reminds me of the La Shuttle terminals for the channel tunnel with how the ramps are, tho the ramps there are straight rather than doubling back. also you should look up Grade Separated Junctions, it's what you're doing for trains to not cross and there's lots of good examples online showing complex junctions

[@scrapanimation3813]

I don't think kibitz is actually looking at the traffic solutions. He is just building roads on roads.

[@MrPieguyDaBoss]

For trucks leaving the trainstations u need to push the earlier trucks with lane connectors to the furtherest outside lane to keep the closer lanes clear for the next truck leaving

[@Tylko_Task]

you can easily fix the problem of vehicles that drive in one lane by turning on the "lane change aggressiveness" option in the "Traffic manager" settings and setting it to 100%

[@ShaggyCorman]

BonBonB popularized this design about 6 years ago. I used to build all my stations like this. It's cool to see someone bringing his old ideas back.

[@Cgeta4]

After playing a game like satisfactory it must be quite frustrating how little influence you really have over traffic and where it goes. Although I imagine the devs intended that the players build things a bit more spaced apart, rather than having all production be in one place, and all the trains in another lol It's definitely interesting seeing roads being approached like conveyor belts, mostly with one way streets heh

[@wabash1581]

Throw in a smart splitter or two. That city would be set!

[@gavin4924]

You can massively control it with traffic manager he just didn't do it in this video

[@TheRogueBro]

Go check out Biffa plays indie games. He has some super effective ways to control traffic. A lot of it has to do with proper lanes, like how in real life we have on/off ramps for highways.

[@stasiunkucing]

just build pedestrian area.

[@feventura7833]

you have a lot of traffic because you don't arrange your lane mathematics!! i always watch Biffa Plays Indie Games for guidance on my cities!! I highly recommend the channel!!!

[@theuncalledfor]

This game needs direct connections between buildings! Why can't you build pipelines and conveyor belts from one building to another? Pipe oil directly into a refinery, pipe refines oil products directly into a factory, etc. Or at least have separate entrances/exits for specific resources, so you can have insulated private road networks to distribute resources within a manufacturing zone!

[@jonovanflett7814]

I would like to see biffa fix your road traffic, should send your city to him to make it more efficient

[@Ekgladiator]

you could lane math the train exits so each truck exit gets a dedicated lane. Use an one lane offramp and merge into a 2 lane highway then a three lane and then a four lane

[@RPAudioeVisual]

This traffic. It's always the traffic. This game should be called Traffic Management Delux!

[@ziadkhaled4312]

Funny how he was gonna start the game when he didn’t even build the tracks 😂

[@LEE-337]

I don't know if you came across this but, using the 6 lane road for downhill ramp to the stations places most of the trucks to take the left lane. having them in the far left makes them closer to the train stations on that side. Maybe using a two way two lane road might help so that they only have one lane to come down the hill with.

[@SIGINTprivate]

Glad to see that this series is holding firm. Love your Cities videos

[@grahamturner2640]

8:00 or you could move one of the exits to the right side of the highway, so merging traffic doesn't conflict with the other exit.

[@reyesubiera3437]

If you want a more compact train interchange, you can make one branch over the top and once branch underground.

[@WillHuizenga]

Biffa would be so disappointed with your lane mathematics

[@jonathanmarsh8119]

Very interesting setup. Don't forget lane maths and Traffic Manager to dedicate lanes to on and off ramps. Next you need to add more stations near your other industries and near commercial areas. Don't forget warehouses near the commercial areas for good. Then bajillions of rail lines between the different areas. Cuts traffic on roads, and increased profit a lot.

[@LordD0g]

[@fitybux4664]

Left side merges are VERY VERY rarely used in the real world. You want traffic to merge on the slower side of the road...

Kibbs as a truck driver myself I am horrified by your train station exits.

[@bagalas87]

I fully expected Biffa to show up at some point shouting: "Lane mathematics"

[@Steveddie93]

Single lane the roads at the train stations, and upgrade the highway as they join together to have more lanes. So you should have a 4 lane highway after the last train station. Then use lane connector in TM:PE to keep everyone in their own lanes. This will also change your input lanes, as one lane for station would be a two lane highway leading up, splitting from a four lane, not a six lane road. 😉

[@yes-hm4gk]

you should use the airport cargo train station instead of the train station because they work the same and the first has an extra train platform

[@fast-toast]

kibitz treats highways like normal roads

[@rudranshmishra2089]

You can use lane management to solve traffic

[@A_Lesser_Man]

TMPE can rectify loads of those traffic issues. Building spawn editor can change the door trucks go in/out...

[@_Ryval_]

I think vehicles pick a route to the closest train station at the very beginning of their journey rather than dynamically choosing the shorter routes. so your equidistant split off junctions don't matter in the grand scheme of the road design and traffic management

[@alfred-pauldelamoussaye8713]

Hey kibitz, I just love you’re videos, keep up the good work or whatever you call this art!

[@StrokeMahEgo]

There's a mod like building spawn point changer that could remedy the train station issue

[@thehobbitilei1987]

How about a Karen-District? Different speed restrictions on basically any road, no roundabouts and lots of traffic lights, but not where you would need them - plus overly complicated one-ways🤔

[@carbonrick-roller7428]

Using the traffic manager mod you can control the individual lanes cars. This would help the traffic on your one ways by preventing cars from crossing into each other when merging.

[@nickbellomo3362]

Lane mathematics will fix your highway problems.

[@TriangularLad]

a more efficient use of trains would be to scatter 1 or 2 in various areas for your industry rather than having 4+ in a single area since they only use 1 or 2 anyway, or at least thats what I have observed in my few hundred areas.

[@acheron8611]

YOU CAN GET MORE SMOOTH TRAFFIC IF YOU LOADED THE TRAIN STATIONS REVERSE.

[@TimHoff85]

The train stations going to the highway should be a 4 lane highway with 1 lane dedicated to each train station so they won't have to cross traffic. Start with the furthest train station going to the outside lane and then each one taking the next lane in.

if you do that then the problem has just been moved all the way back to wherever the vehicles can change lanes
