"Everything is going very well" at the end of the end-video flythrough, meanwhile the fire in the zone in the middle of the screen is out of control.... Classic Biffa video. Looking forward to the next one.

55:30 Upbeat music with the forestry on fire. Like that everything is okay meme. Loving the series.

[@simonmay1671]

Surely you don't need that many post offices, just pop down a mail box and it increases coverage

[@ElShotte]

Yup, as long as you're processing the mail and can store it well enough. I've found that one central post office is good to about 20K people.

[@JoshuaPalley]

Mailboxes only collect mail from pedestrians. Post office trucks collect from mailboxes and collect+deliver to buildings.

[@Secretsofsociety]

It gets kind of insane late game. Really hard to get enough processing.

[@simonmay1671]

@@Secretsofsociety I did notice my cargo terminal had about 1000t of mail sitting in it at one point... I assumed it was fine 🤔

[@Secretsofsociety]

@@simonmay1671 Seems to be a similar problem to waste management. If you fall behind in processing you can't catch up. It's also possible I did fix it but the simulation is running really slow at 200k so it will take a year to have effect.

[@justinboggin9086]

You only need at most 2 post offices at your population (and probably only 1). Boxes give service coverage exactly the same as offices. Post offices are for processing capacity.

[@user-lm3fm4cq5i]

I am at 13k population and i just placed my third post office cause the others were slowly but surely filling up with letters ( already did major upgrades to them ). On the other hand ( maybe related to all the wrecked state of exporting ) the post sorting facility is useless. It didn't do anything at all but eat money lol.

yes box letter do the staff instead of adding post office. And for bigger population, network is the convenient upgrade with network terminal and pack server until satellite.

You are overusing the water reservoir and it has been polluted. You may want to add the better filter and move one of the pumps to a different area. Loved the video, have a great week.

[@mexieboy1]

you are overusing the water reservoir, it sais using above 100% therefore it will drain and eventually go empty. its better to spread the water extracting over multiple reservoirs or just pump from the rivers( which is cheaper anyway :) )

[@hanzzel6086]

That and it has been polluted, which is causing people to become sick (so he does, in fact, need the advanced water filters).

[@ScooterBug96]

I was thinking most of the chirps I was seeing are related to healthcare or the water making them sick. @@hanzzel6086

The first one was only at 55% efficiency which should of been a warning... probably cause of where it's positioned... also when he spead up the game you could see it shrinking.

[@arttops2563]

You should probably add public transit stops outside your education buildings, specifically your unis and the Technical uni. It may help lower income students to get to the unis and may increase enrollment as public transit may be cheaper than using their car(?)

[@johnrobinson523]

6:32 pedestrian access to the top area would be nice. I can imagine walking along that lovely quay seeing my house belopw and having to walk all the way around to get in.

[@benidasw]

You've gotta draw the off-Ramp of the Highway in after you upgraded it to a merging lane. The other way round, you come up with a winki wonki lane which diverges from the outa lane, but is centered to the middle lane(40:28)

[@ravenbathory9471]

You can always use the upgrade tool with snapping off to fix that issue afterwards. Due to nodes, it's sometimes better to do it this way round

[@nell-mariikappa5387]

[@Stormcrow_1]

Those ground water pumps, look like they're sucking the aquifer dry.

[@hanzzel6086]

They are, and they need those advanced filters because because it is also polluted.

[@climatectrl3350]

Hey Biffa, you actually don't need mailboxes all that close to the post office. According to the description, citizens can drop their mail off at the office, which is why there's such a big coverage for that. It's to show how far away from it the residents will be happy about driving to drop their post off.

[@sp3lllz]

still wish that the add on buildings could be placed in a small vicinity of the the building rather than only directly to the building itself. its still very realistic for say a high school to have the sports filed on the other side of the road than the school

[@lukasr5867]

Yes, that and / or being able to attach to attachments as well (e.g. for the elementary school, attach the clinic thing to the school itself, then attach the playground to the clinic).

Restricting your police stations to their districts helps with the crime. Otherwise you'll have police cars from one station all the way across town when there is a crime happening literally right next to the station.

[@jeffmasson1979]

You don't need post office and boxes! It's not a bug. You just need enough post offices to cover the amount of boxes you have or just have post offices

[@JamesKennedy33]

Post boxes and post offices will share coverage Bif, surely? Because, if you're posting something, and you live around the corner from the post office, you'd post it there. You wouldn't need a post box outside your house as well.

[@machintrucGaming]

Gotta love the forestry on fire for the whole night at the end...

[@johnrobinson523]

schools seem to create an aoe green circle. would be nice to be able to set up a school bus system to reach the red areas without having to build a school in that area. TEST: does mass-transit change this effect if directly routed to the school from outside neighbourhoods?

[@SineN0mine3]

I'm not sure about the AoE map, but adding transport connections definitely increases the number of students in your schools. Cims will definitely travel from outside the green radius to reach a school which is helpful because a lot of the buildings are massive. A smaller highschool would be very useful since it takes ages for the large one to be fully utilised.

[@johnrobinson523]

My city has topped 80k now, and some parts of the city showed -15 for unhappiness with mail services.

the postal service issue seems to be that the cargo harbour and terminal keeps hoarding resources and doesn't deliver it fast enough and one of the things it hoards is 'local mail.' don't think the mail trucks have access to the mail stored within the cargo storages and it just stays stuck there and the pops just get madder and madder as time moves on.

[@Joschimoto2000]

Seeing that changing of the zoning area with walk ways, what happened to the road feature from the preview, where you could change the build area on streets like only left side, only right side, none at all? oO

[@lukasr5867]

Was that actually in the preview, though? I somehow thought so as well, but I think it was only in C:S1 where they added it earlier this year, as one of the last updates.

[@TurpoChargedGaming]

I second a few comments I've seen on post offices. People will travel to the post office or to the mail boxes (i assume), not sure the coverage doubling up is a bug

[@thirdofherne9232]

Make sure you put your medieaval castle on a hill! Needs to be in a defendable place.

[@TheSanpletext]

Are you sure that mailbox coverage overlapping post office is bug, and not intended? I would imagine the vans that office sends out will go and empty the mailboxes that people of the area can use to send mail. Or atleast that's how it works where I live (Finland, home of CO).

[@ryanjohnson8960]

They should add a feature where the citizens protest and projects get put on hold or are denied/need to be voted on to initiate. That would be so cool and slow down the hyper growth aspect of the game

[@zugy]

Be careful when you get rid of parking on streets that you give people enough parking lots. Low parking leads to a ton of "looking for spots" traffic >.< Oh and I've found in heavy pedestrian/traffic areas that I have to eliminate crosswalks and make pedestrian over/under crossings so traffic can keep moving. Otherwise people crossing will slow up turning traffic.

The traffic at higher pops is broke. I constantly get cars cutting off lines off traffic to cut in front of an entrire lane of traffic. Like all cars use both lanes, but then they all decide to immediately change lanes at the same spot cutting in front of another lane. It seems worse than cs1

[@Kriegerflinger]

for postal services, you really only need one building for a huge section of city. I put 2 or 3 mail boxes per neighborhood on side streets. I then put a post sorting facility near my highway connection to collect mail from the post offices and send it outside the city or to whatever local post office for delivery to local residences and businesses.

Just wondering what happens if you make a roundabout the same way as we did in cs1?? Do they act any differently to the dedicated roundabouts in the game or the cs1 ones??

[@SineN0mine3]

You can still make a roundabout out of one way roads or highways, it's quite simple to do although like in cities 1 they will not stay round once you start intersecting them unless you place your nodes carefully. The main reason I think you would want to do this is to create zoning on roundabouts, but unless they're very large you're usually only going to get one building per side and often none at all. They're also more flexible, you can make the squares, triangles or any other kind of shape as you need it. You can also make large roundabouts without unlocking them with your milestones. If you're limited on space, the roundabout tool is definitely the way to go but it's useful to have the option. In terms of traffic AI there doesn't seem to be any difference, they'll use either kind without any trouble. It's easier to make them in CS2 than CS1, but the roundabout tool works for most situations so usually if I build my own it's for aesthetics. You need to make your own if you want to create retaining walls along one side for example.

[@V8HiluxZX6R]

Can definitely still make them, one of the highway junctions in this city has one where the main highway goes underneath it.

[@lukasr5867]

@@SineN0mine3 Well, you need to be a bit careful with manual roundabouts. With bigger streets attached they'll get traffic lights and I think they have priority the wrong way around (people coming into the roundabout might have priority over people in the roundabout, which can lead to clogging). Of course, those are the same problems you'd have ins CS1 without mods. But of course, having some big square-abouts around a city block or two is always an option.

I remember Biffa commenting on another city on the "Stroads" and how they should not be used... and I think he probably forgot all about it because he does it constantly here now! :) Biffa, I think you're also overdoing the roundabouts, just a thought.

[@bab3242]

[@Axis_._]

Curious what your own opinions are on the discourse regarding the simulation issues? Personally I've not seen many problems, other than cims teleporting (which I really hope is a bug not a feature), would love to hear you address some of these as I imagine devs pay more attention to yourself than us! Personally I think the cities feel.quite empty, I think this is because people commute at different times. I think it would be amazing for the game to make cims try and arrive at work almost at the same specific time, this means ones who live further away would have to leave earlier, and travel further (incentivising moving home) and would create real rush hour traffic.

[@japes7]

I definitely get rush hours. Every evening and every morning my road interchange gets clogged up. There is definitely more movement at those times, however it seems it depends on your roads if there is good connections it handles it quite easily

[@Axis_._]

@japes7 yea I agree, which is why I don't like the argument that the sim is broken (aside from teleportong cims and known bugs etc). I think personally I would like this to be more severe though. So tweaking the numbers which work the dah shift/night shift/days off etc.

[@MRJOKER417]

[@sacb0y]

In my experience you want a post box nearly every block. There's no down sides and they should not be spaced out. As long as the game gives you exp for the placement, that placement is useful.

[@CestLaVie.]

Dear Biffa Plays India Games, I believe we are playing on the same map (Lakeland, the lake one, whatever) and what I have done with my city of 30,000 pops is make the starting island the real urban core of my city. All the commercial and high density residential, as well as office and industry is on the island. All of the land surrounding the island I have made into low density residential suburbs. So far it has worked out and with the abundance of possible highway connections I have made the city into an industrial powerhouse; However, my only concern with the city is traffic, yet that'd be an easy fix. Goodluck, HaHa

Kettlebridge is moving along nicely. I was just wondering if the university building placed in the end of the video could have fitted in between the two roads coming from the residential area so they could continue :) (just for my OCD) :D

I got to about 140k population, but the elementary schools are packed, I have like 6 elementary schools full, for 1 high school, and 2 colleges, and 1 university per area in my city. Not sure if it is a balance thing, or I just need to let the game run for a lot longer to wait for the students to graduate. Waiting for Educated citizens for my industrial areas. Oh, the train depots ... I have 4 of them in the city just because of demand. I hope that there are addons later to increase trains per depot.
