[@Blitzkrieger17]

do service vehicles pay tolls? i mean, can you charge garbage trucks for collecting garbage? orrrrrrrr hearses for uh... collecting the dead? i mean... for science, of course!!! ?

[@cm24624]

It's the same as a toll road, which they have for certain in the game. This is not an exploit but an AI issue. I have unintentionally provided entrances without a toll, but because it was slightly longer people paid the toll instead. Same thing, as far as I'm concerned. I'm sure they may attend to it. The amount you can charge to get in is out of wack is all. Cap it at 2 instead of 20 and it makes more sense.

You could drop the highways down into a tunnel and make a legit paid crossover park on top. Feels less cheaty if its more than just a single path, and would look great with amenities while still offering citizens a premium walking option

Even if you just build the park normally on a city block it will be profitable immediately just to a lesser extent. The farming industry he made earlier will have lower return on investment but will provide far more money than the parks and it's the least profitable industry. I typically use the parks normally and then use that money to finance my industrial expansion.

The park will be less popular and reduced number of visitors, even when you see tonnes of people passing through the gate. I think its counting by the number of people who are actually visited the park, not passing through.

One thing I usually do in addition to the park gates, is to also paint the entire res district as both park and as a district. This adds all the parks in that area to the attractiveness, and allows you to set policies for that district. Then just spam park gates on every ped Xing, especially at roundabouts. It also increases attractiveness for commercial districts, increasing sales.

[@grtninja]

I usually paint my airports like this and make them tourist districts.

[@markwolstenholme2863]

You can do this too in situations where its quicker for them to go through a park than it is to walk along a curved main road for example. Less of an 'exploit' and feels more believable. Still a good money earner.

Worked like a charm. So i'm in the more "legal" exploits camp.

This little tip that you showed (and have before) is the sole reason I purchased the Parklife dlc on PS4. More like Biffa posts the video and players buy that DLC so they can do it too and Paradox: "Hey now. Thanks." Parkside is a very fun DLC and worth it not only for this little exploit but also as it has depth and other creative ways to use it. I prefer more bicyclists and pedestrians over cars anyway. Even more so if you lean into your public transport. Thank you for your continued inspiration and edutainment.

[@512TheWolf512]

Well, yeah, stealing is indeed the fastest path to being rich

[@yeeeehaaawbuddy]

This isn't a hack. A hack would be to put all of your transportation hubs inside of a park, and use roads around the transportation hub that pedestrians cannot walk, and then within the park, have the main walkway actually a series of gates forcing the people to pay many many times. One can EASILY make over 100,000/week. In fact, I always start a city with unlimited cash, then build everything up to about 3,000 population, then apply this method. In a matter of no time your realtime cash balance will become posative again, and then thru the roof. Once I establish this, I leave the game running while I sleep. The next day I can tear all of the gates out and play the game like a king with about $20million.

I took this concept to the extreme in one of my larger cities awhile back, and oh boy does it ever scale. I set it up such that there is one huge residential area, with ample internal transit options available, but the only way for residents to access literally anything else is to hop onto the Park Highway; often more than once. With around 400k residents this resulted in nearly $1M a WEEK; more than every other income source combined. I then set all tax rates to 1%, maxed out the budget, enacted every costly policy I could, but nothing could overcome the Park Highway's cash printers. Far from realistic, obviously, but it was very fun to take the idea as far as I could.

Heya Biffa! I just wanted to give you a small tipp I stumbled upon while watching this vid: you have to treat the combined bicycle-pedastrian path like an asymmetrical road - making sure that it isn't mixed. E.g. Check the bridge right next to the first path/bridge you turned into a park area. One segment is "the other way round" , making cyclists have to switch lanes at the end. Hope you're doing great! Take care and bye bye. :D

[@JohnTrustworthy]

IRA: Disperse people. He said "in Cities Skylines".

I think you have to fix the dedicated turning lanes at 22:00 , the cars from the highway can cross straight ahead. It might make some traffic issues.

Or where two different metro lines meet and people cross over to get on the other line...add a Park with the quickest route through the Park and money guaranteed! :D
