Managing Traffic Flow in Cities Skylines 2!

[@Ederick1936]

"And in anticipation of what's to come, I'm also going to buy the crematorium" is possibly the most unintendedly sinister thing i've ever heard from YUMBL.

[@Bram06]

Followed and summed up, naturally, by "I'm a realist"

[@m0shtik]

The hospital is too expensive

[@robc2581]

The new road tools and functionality are just so so slick. I got tired of having to engineer every intersection/interchange with TMPE , IMT and node controller in CS that I just had to stop playing, hoping and praying that CS2 would be improved. Really excited to see what we can build seamlessly with these new tools. It is gonna take a lot of the tediousness/headache out of constructing your roads

[@BluBuryPi]

So true...I spent more time building out interchanges than actually playing the game proper lol

[@ulysseslee9541]

This is a good news and I was very excited when saw their 1st Dev-diary about the road tools.

[@indycate]

I agree. It will be so much easier to get a repeatable solid foundation for all the intersections, but I'm already seeing nodes I would like to hit with TMPE and node controller 😅

[@frankdomburg3971]

​@@BluBuryPi is the game not about building interchanges???

[@partypooper8198]

@@frankdomburg3971 for many it's a interchange builder. for many others it's a "slap grids down and instantly fill it with zoning" builder. guess we can see what kind of player they are

[@Felipeah95]

The intro has such a high production value. The song and the "second take" really like the style in these videos :)

[@YUMBL]

Its all part of the experience ;)

[@mericet39]

YUMBL - your videos on CS:2 are definitely the most informative - exactly the right amount of detail without the waffle, love it! I am so looking forward to playing this, but might be a while as I'd need a new PC first, my current one struggles with CS:1.

[@EternalGamingNet]

Yumbl and Jedi back on KZbin makes me so happy. Loving the CS2 content, thank you for the amazing video.

[@elguapo42000]

3:09 holy cow, this is such an improvement. The lane ending and the arrows-so nice

[@Palla148]

I'm loving all the new features, especially the clean road snapping and the roundabouts, they're so cute and functional.

[@Mische1993]

Pelican Crossing comes from Pelicon and it stands for "Pedestrian Light Controlled" as far as i know :)

[@nogohoho]

"PEdestrian LIght CONtrolled" indeed.

[@nyeti7759]

It's part of a series of bird-themed road crossings used in the UK, along with Puffin (Pedestrian User Friendly INtelligent, which is its successor), Toucan (Two Can cross, pedestrians and cyclists), and Pegasus (for equestrians).

[@maslygan]

Welcome back, EH! :D

[@hectorsauraus2118]

I’m just about half way watching this video, i had to stop and say you do a great job of explaining things in a simple way for us to understand! Thank you

[@TijmenZwaan]

18:20 According to the legend the color indicates the telecom coverage. As the tower becomes more surrounded by buildings and stuff, you get worse coverage, as the radio waves can't travel in straight lines as easily. A radio tower in an empty field has great coverage, but there's no one to receive the signal. A radio tower surrounded by skyscrapers has pretty bad coverage, but there are a lot of people who are nearby enough to receive the signal. That's at least how I interpret how it works.

[@Whomsky]

Yup! And also, a radio tower on a hill will have even better coverage as the waves can travel further. It's really cool

[@MrVeeBlog]

Thanks for this amazing drop. I just updated my rig to include a LG Widescreen 4K monitor. My gameplay looks amazing now. I still can't get develpermode to work yet but so far, I'm being re-smitten by the game. Thanks again.

The Return of the King! It’s good to see YUMBL return 🤗

[@LakeStateRailfan]

Lord Aragorn is pleased with your comment.

[@sgullage]

Regarding the cell tower map indicator, I think it's a connection capacity indicator. That's why it's green in the unoccupied spaces, no people, so lots of connections available. In the downtown core you need enough towers to carry the capacity requirements, so multiple towers to make it green.

[@cravinghibiscus7901]

The grooviest, intro dude. Editing on point.

[@TiagoMorbusSa]

0:09 no I think you had it the first time EVERYBODY is welcome back!!! :D

[@krisculin9679]

RE: Communication Tower - It goes green because the elevation increases and gives better coverage. When you go into your downtown, the elevation is lower, and it can't reach as far. This is based on viewing other channel part 2 videos.

[@sgullage]

I don't think that's true. I think it's a connection capacity indicator. That's why it's green in the unoccupied spaces, no people, so lots of connections available. In the downtown core you need enough towers to carry the capacity requirements, so multiple towers to make it green.

[@YUMBL]

Yea, it’s not tied to elevation at all.

[@simongeard4824]

@@YUMBL I think elevation affects the range - you'll cover more area with a higher tower - but covering more area doesn't count for much when population density means you're limited by capacity.

[@YUMBL]

Elevation does not affect the coverage. Its how much density is around the tower.

[@peterahazlewood]

I'm loving these videos Yumbl. Your narration is so nice and mellow that I really hope you'll continue to record lots of varied content so that we can just enjoy your creativity and voice 😍

[@el-tioz]

"This is a great tiny roundabout, it's great, it's tiny, it's round!" 🤣 sweet 👌

Thank you for your videos. I like your workflow to how you build. A couple of others that I watch spend soooo much time detailing to crazy detail. I like the way you build.

[@creativefox6066]

Would be nice to have high rise with antennas instead of the radiotower for internet. Maybe something for the mod builders. Thanks for the vid.

"Down on the corner... ...Out in the street." You were trying to resist, weren't you? The song popped into your head and you had to acknowledge it, otherwise it would've haunted you for the rest of the video.

[@bruh666]

I loooove traffic managemtn so much you're like the only c:s2 videos creator so far that has an eppisode on fixing this kind of stuff

[@DieseltheWhiteTailedBuck]

12:23 OH MY GOD- As soon as he said "First things first" I said "I'm a realist" and he followed up with it lmaooooo

[@solmateusbraga]

18:32 I believe each tower has a radius of coverage (the circle) and a speed that it offers. If you have 1 terabyte per tower, and there are only two households using the tower, each gets 500GB, so they're green and super happy. If you put that on a very high density, people will get slower and slower shares since there will be too many people connected to the same tower. If the share ends up too small, it won't be green. I believe a single tower like that would be good for low residential, but your high residential definitely needs something stronger (or many updates).

[@sjguy1962]

Another great video, you make this game better for me with good theries and suggestions💯🤯

Yes it does behaves as a pedestrian island, i saw in a dev diary when the cims actually jumps up the curb and stops on the island.

[@Overxpossed]

AS an Spanish speaker, I wonder why a round about has that name. Holy cow... the way streets are merged! Bought the game dreaming they will give it to me before the release xD

[@Hannodb1961]

I really love the differences between Mixed use and Medium Residential. I recognise both from the CBD of Pretoria.

[@mbrackeva]

Good to see you're continuing your original take on the game in CS2.

[@sololeveling7390]

18:24 It says what the colors mean in the upper left part of the screen. It is green in places with no buildings cause there the coverage is 100% since there is no one there.

[@astrognash.]

Yumblistas, we are eating SO WELL today

[@martinholden6214]

Pelican is a pedestrian light controlled crossing. A crossing with traffic lights that the pedesteian presses and waits for lights to chnage before crossing. Which to be fair isn't marked the way it does in game in uk. The stripes are for zebra crossing which is jst a crossing with no traffic lights, sometimes it has a yellow light to signal its there. you wait for cars to stop at (as they have to) and you cross.

[@wyatt9144]

Yumbl, I need you to record me an audiobook. Your voice is so calming. Also, I just was vewy vewy naughty and just bought the pre-order of this game... PREMIUM EDITION. Paradox owes that $80 purchase to you.

[@DerickZ28]

My only little critique so far of CS2 is the color looks a little bland or washed out. Other than that it looks fantastic! Loving all the new features.

[@mickidoesmedia]

yeah the art design isnt exactly what i'd have hoped for either

[@jayvis123111]

Placing that crematorium, honestly I couldn't tell where you were placing it at all, hope I can turn off those overlays when I place buildings so I can see what I'm doing!

[@deanonesense]

Are the alleyways functional? Does parking, deliveries and pickups go to the alleyway; or are they just narrow slow stroads?

[@YUMBL]

The alleys are normal roads that are half as wide with no parking.

[@afrocomber]

Having watch a bunch of the latest CS2 KZbinr releases, I wish there was a blueprint mode for both locked and unlocked modules on expandable buildings, similar to Anno 1800, to make future planning easier!

[@BluBuryPi]

I feel like building your city is now more organic. Having city services provide much larger coverage means you can create more natural looking districts. Less than a month to go!!!

[@teambellavsteamalice]

Around 10:00 I was just thinking, "didn't you once explain road hierarchy and the importance of not zoning next to arteries? Why doesn't he remove the zoning now?", when you explained you can't yet! Having paths next to them is a perfect workaround 😁.

[@lucasmoreno2154]

What's a shame is that mixed use is medium to high density, even tho there are low density mixed used buildings. Those would be really cool, and I hope they come in later

[@YUMBL]

Smaller zone sizes yield smaller mixed use buildings :)

[@BizzLeVrai]

I cant wait to try it myself. I loved make the best optimize road system in CSKY1.

[@rob3342421]

What I find interesting is the zoning toggle thing was recently introduced to CS1, so I’m a little surprised that wouldn’t be with release of CS2 but I guess it’ll come with time to CS2?

[@Alex-ik8pr]

12:22 ... Was... Was that a reference to that "Fancy" song from like 2015? Had to do a double take lol

[@YUMBL]

Maybe 😆

[@Rui_Gax]

5:25 while building this interchange wouldn't you want to prohibit traffic from going straight through the interchange so that they always take the highway?

[@YUMBL]

I want the traffic to go wherever it needs to. I’m not sure where you mean.

[@Rui_Gax]

@@YUMBL I was talking about the roundabout, if they take the second exit they'll return back to the highway, wouldn't it be more efficient to only go left or right?

[@YUMBL]

But how can one disallow traffic from one enterance from exiting anywhere they want? Even in real life. 🤔

[@Rui_Gax]

​@@YUMBLgood point, it's just that I saw a sign that doesn't allow traffic to go straight at 4:00 and thought that could optimise the interchange idk I'm just throwing ideas out there

[@YUMBL]

That would work for a diamond interchange made of regular intersections. Not with roundabouts though.

[@militaryav8r]

Great video! Can’t wait to play myself… I wish they would just release it early to those who have pre-purchased it.

[@mikeh7299]

Love your stuff as usual, have you spent any time with trains yet ? Do they work or still get in congestion at edge of map do you know yet?

[@KimForsberg]

From what I understand, all services can be covered by external connections, just not as well as one in the city. So I'd assume even if you have no FD, there's still be a truck sent from outside connection... but it's not like I've tested that, only going by what the devdiaries have stated.

[@YUMBL]

I actually haven’t seen a fire on this build 🤷‍♂️

[@inyobill]

Less than a minute in, and already a golden tip.

[@RandyContello]

[@uzijn]

Great video. I sadly cancelled my pre-order on Steam after they suddenly increased the minimum/recommended specs. Who can trust that they'll be accurate? I'd rather wait until after release and see what kind of performance other people experience.

[@raphaelnikolaus0486]

As the bugged intersection was outside your tiles, that must mean, it was built like that by the game, by the developers. Which is weird to think, as the new CS2 road design is very intelligent. At least so I was lead to believe.

[@YUMBL]

It came with the map, yes

[@RedSntDK]

It's possible it worked when they designed the map, and then an update broke it.

[@raphaelnikolaus0486]

Tbf also, it's still a Beta

[@jonesalandon]

26:29 In addition to having more flexibility with module plopping and editing, I am surprised at how many assets have huge parking lots baked in. In some cases it’s understandable because an upgrade module replaces the parking, but in many cases it feel really unrealistic, especially in European builds for instance. I wish parking was either treated independently (like the normal, ploppable parking lots) or as a building module that can be added or removed.

[@YUMBL]

I largely agree with this. I suppose the low density commercial can have 1-3 spots out front for the owner and employees, but many buildings could have none and rely on street parking or, as you said, the option of a ploppable lot.

[@subbtopp]

i really enjoyed that, thank you. x

I'd rather wait longer for the game so I don't have to go buy a $1,000 GPU and a $400 processor just to play this game. I pre-ordered when they first opened pre-orders and I'm regretting that decision now. But your stuff looks awesome!

[@quixoticshaman3879]

I thought the telecom towers are affected by elevation. If you get it on top of a mountain the range is expansive, down in a valley or amount tall buildings and the range suffers.

[@Optopolis]

My question of Cities Skylines II - What transportation features are there, especially in terms of bicycles/etc.? ie bike roads... if not, maybe normal roadways could be expandable with dutch style bike lanes kinda like how the schools and other buildings are also expandable?

[@YUMBL]

No bikes currently

[@Optopolis]

[@ConnorEllisMusic]

The Telecom towers are going green because that land is higher, meaning more coverage.

[@YUMBL]

Nope, I believe its related to how densely built and area is. Non dense areas have better signal strength.
