MERRY CHRISTMAS! Also you should do a figure 8 loop on the island. Two loops going one way on one side of the Island and another on the other side but have them both meet at a couple stations going down the middle of the island. This way you can have some overlapping lines without overlapping tracks so you do not need to worry about the trains running into each other or causing jams in the tunnels.

[@thesunnynationg]

Nice, this looks great.

[@tylercrim9327]

It's maybe a little late, but if you're building a busy core of your city, you might want to have multi-story parking lots just to get parked cars off the side of the road.

[@Soccercrazyfanatic22]

Something that could be cool for that island is to take a couple of pedestrian bridges over to it from the pedestrian roundabouts and then make it into a nice park for people to walk around and enjoy views of the city at a distance

[@supaflytoon7684]

Few tips for Ya Biffa 1 - When zoning on the corner (or anywhere really) - You can easily tell where entrance(s) will be by observing where are gaps in the temporary wall around building when it's raising (if there's a gap on each side - it will be corner building). Also height of the future building is easy to see by the height of a crane used while building is raising. 2 - When using line tool - If You want to place trees (objects in general) as close as possible - just use first setting on the left (fence mode) - works great i.e. for hedge look from bushes. Loving last episode's one tile challenge - cool idea for videos every once a while. Thanks for great content, keep it up and keep'em coming. Merry Xmas !!!

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

Thanks for the tips 😀

[@MrTwisted003]

I love the fence mode. Only gripe is it for some reason does not start where you click. It starts a half a node or so after. The ocd in me drives crazy. But love the tool.

[@neonada.official]

@@MrTwisted003you don’t have ocd calm down

[@MrTwisted003]

@@neonada.official You know me so well don't you? Yes I do know the difference between OCD (Obsessive Compulsion Disorder) and Anal Retentive, which people confuse or refer to as "OCD" (myself included sometimes). Unfortunately I have both, one much more than the other. I am more anal than obsessive. How about you? Superiority Complex? Or Savior Complex? I mean, you're telling me I am/am not... or trying to calm me down... lol.

[@norneaernourn8240]

One thing I've learnt from CS1 with putting metro tracks underwater is, you're better off putting them above ground when crossing water. The depths you need to go to and then rising out again, without the horky-borky tunnels, makes for the type of shenanigans that recedes the hairline. So instead of trying to go like -40m or more for that section underwater (relative to sea level of 0m), I rather put them over the top with +12m and then have them go back underground when you've reached land. That way you only have to worry about that 12m difference rather than the 40m or more.

[@MichaelMorgan1979]

A few well placed underpasses might make a big difference for the pedestrians and the general traffic

[@filzp7]

That bridge near the Figura Building is crying out to be a collector, connected to an arterial that comes from the highway and goes to the opposite side of the river you're planning to expand through the far side of the outer bigger island, the one that is further away from the little ones. Those little islands in front of the residential area should definitevely be a park of some sort. Can you immagine living on either side of the river and waking up with the view of a park in the middle of the river? Lovely.

[@SouthKoreanSanta]

I like these City Downtown builds. They just look great. Can’t wait to watch more of Kettlebridge❤😅

[@playinonthego6678]

The junction at 3:40 could you do a pedestrian bridge & take out the redlights completely?

[@jaredhill6896]

Each video that comes out I keep hyping up in my head that it will finally be the day we upgrade to the grand bridge, and time and time again, I am wrong

[@Konrad-z9w]

Kettlebridge employs some of the most daring engine drivers 25:53

[@NethDugan]

Yay for subway! Some of these depots are silly big, I suspect there will be folks building more reasonably sized ones once allowed. There's a bus depot near me, and it's one of the big hubs in a major city with a ton of buses using it as base - and it's no where near what you've had to build to get a faction of the buses. Also yay on unlcocking the disease centre.

[@Łąąąbat]

I liked the one-tyle challenge video. I think the different style worked in that kind of video, though you shouldn't abandon your usual dad-energy style of your normal videos.

[@martyburgess341]

I recently watch Real Civil Engineer and he did a city with Hexagon grids and it turned out to be super efficient and looked amazing!

[@AdamZugone]

Hexagons really are the ultimate shape, huh. Efficient in every way

[@kimmipops5143]

Hexagons are the bestagons 😋

[@1GeorgeJung]

Not gunna lie, I mainly watch RCE for the amazingly efficient bridges in the gallery on poly bridge

[@LateralTwitlerLT]

Man! I watched your video of the culmination of an 8 year old city in *_Cities: Skyline I_* the other day, and it was so impressive and beautiful. I wonder what we get to see after a handful of years and your "usual" dedication to making it all look and function the best it can now in *_C:S II_* as well. And, yes - I do liked your 1 tile challenge. It made me think of Singapore: low taxation, high trust, and plenty of high-rise buildings placed with utmost efficiency. You keep on doing you.

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

Thankyou! Yes I can't wait for pdx mods and all the assets and detailing next year 😁

[@LateralTwitlerLT]

I nearly forgot: Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year@@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines Here's to future mods and massive functional cityscapes.

[@WhatsleftofTom]

I like the variety, and I like to see creators experimenting and doing stuff that they enjoy. That’s how you grow!

[@TheMapleFerret]

I personally loved the challenge video you did and definitely looking forward to another challenge video!🙂 Also, Merry Christmas to you, Biffa!

[@Elukkaah]

Man, when biffa looked from medium height building out to water and tram was looking like a rollercoster rolling along the shore, I laughed my ass off. 🤣🤣

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

They pay extra for the thrills 👍

[@roybmanofmerlin]

Thanks for everything you provided for all us Cities fans in 2023, the inspiration, the tips, the tea, and the wonderful cities. 2024 is going to be epic. Have an amazing Christmas and New Year Biffa

[@Chrissnox]

You might want to think of maybe having some crossings for pedestrians going above the road, like bridge like. That way the cars don’t have to wait for them and they don’t have to wait for the cars

[@ahmadnawaz-wz7gj]

I think if you add the automated parking in the corner spot in the end of the video. It would be good cuz it can accommodate a lot of cars and would look good for the offices and high density buildings.

[@macaidwin]

I liked the 1 tile challenge, but I like to hear you speak while building and speaking out what you think and discover on the way, rather then as a narrator telling a kind of story. But as something different in between your other videos it's fine to me. 😍

[@PontusAleryd]

The 1 tile challenge was awesome! The speed and storytelling was perfect and entertaining 🥳 How long did it take you in real time?!

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

Altogether 2 days, plus the time my editor took 👍

[@thundafromdownunda]

Loved the addition of those high rises to create that superb skyline! 👌 And the 1 tile vid was great, thoroughly enjoyed it! 👍 Happy Holidays to you and the family ☃️🎄

[@jfgreen41]

Merry Christmas Biffa! Thanks for the year full of entertainment

[@carpemkarzi]

The one tile challenge was tons of fun. Neat new ways to look at the game. Have a great and safe holiday season

[@ConfusedRaccoon]

12:04 Is unused spaces from the 3x2 against the 5 lane asym road. You can tell because its "greyed" out. The path trick in that 3rd row would give you building space against Summit street. Maybe.

[@Zmzm030]

Always happy when i see a new video of this series!

[@Zmzm030]

Also i enjoyed the challenge video you did.

[@krisz1156]

25:55 those funky metros exiting the yard was funny :D

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

They love the ride lol 😁

[@tientje124]

Well, i misread the title and was waiting for some sort of interview with a designer of cities skylines😅 Was kind of exited for that. So maybe a suggestion for upcoming content?😇 Either way, I love your content Biffa.

[@ShaunWilliams]

You kept saying you were wondering what height the buildings will be, a tip, the height of the crane when under construction is the indication of final building height. No need to wait. Also the Server farm seem to provide Fibre, so much better than wireless.

[@RLJSlick]

Good stuff Biffa, Happy Holidays!

[@TheFlipside06]

I liked that one tile challenge, and great work. Happy Christmas and Merry New Year ;)!

[@666JGNotts]

Great stuff as usual. Christmas and New Year best wishes to you and your family mate 👍

[@nealjroberts4050]

Merry Christmas! As for your videos, variety is the pumpkin spice of life!

[@oldhog2090]

Biffa I loved the other short challenge video! Meanwhile, keep beautifiying and jiggery pokering. Love watching your videos. Positive vibes every time I watch. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

[@honeycomblord9384]

Merry christmas Biffa! Kettlebridge is coming along wonderfully!

[@EmlyH]

I loved your last video. You could tell how much time, thought and effort went into the new style. It was great storytelling and kept me keyed in the entire video. I think the new style adds depth and sets these one-off challenge videos apart from your other CS play-through content. :)

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

Thankyou 👍😀

[@misterpillows2800]

I love building up density and watch the hustle n bustle

[@carriegarrisonvos4433]

I like you challenges!! One tile was very cool!! Got my giggles in!! City really looks lovely😍 Biffa I hope you have a wonderful Holiday Season with your family!!🎄🍹☃

[@lenzi1982]

tile challenges are fun! ive been maratoning all your cs1 series, great videos where you can see your growth

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

Awesome, thank you!

[@ram64man]

Merry Christmas biffa and family, have a wonderful time see you in the new year

[@onewileyguy]

I definitely liked your one square video, So those are fun. I also like videos where you help me figure out how to work with the different tools, and mechanics, of the game. So a mix of both if possible.

[@davidbeard6154]

fun build to end the year. It did seem to be quickly done but I am hoping for more planning next year. Merry Christmas

[@TaliyahMC]

I love this city but also the challenges that you do! Keep up the great work!

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

Thanks! Will do! 👍😁

[@glenofborg]

Merry Christmas Biffa!

[@Boslow123]

Hi Biffa. I loved the 1tile challenge format. Loved the storytelling and structure. More of those please! Merry Christmas to you and your family, and editors 😉

[@danielherd958]

Really enjoying kettlebridge, keep up the great work. Merry Christmas to you and the family.

[@shaolinslumz]

Merry Christmas Biffa. Thank you for all your videos, they are brilliant and i always look forward to them! 🎅🏼

[@barbarjinx3802]

I enjoyed your 1 tile challenge. You did a good job keeping it entertaining. Keep it up!

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

Thank you so much! 👍😁

[@edenmoon8275]

I love your videos. I would suggest more parking where you have put the new offices. Happy Xmas Biffa

[@mrprobably7123]

Yeah, try out make districts with one way roads. Like a tree branch and leaf.

[@EternalGamingNet]

Great growth and additions to the city. Great video as always.

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

Thanks 👍

[@Maya-mt3se]

loved the 1 tile vid, short and sweet

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

Thankyou 👍

[@katwilli]

Love these vids, Biff! ❤ Even with COVID, they still light up my day!

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

Feel better soon! 😁

[@gafrers]

Great city. Loved the 1 tile video

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

Thank you!

[@scottsfowler]

Those small islands should all be a park. There is a park in S Korea kinda like it with pedestrian bridges from one to the other and it's really cool. I can't remember the legend, but I think it's a queen turned herself into a dragon to protect Korea(???) Maybe call it Archipelago (bay) Park?

[@CarinaCoffee]

Biffa finally unlocking underground parking garages last episode only to set down a big parking lot next to the new high rises... Honestly in this case I might have unlocked that stackable parking garage, it looked quite tall, I bet that would fit right into such an area.

[@afrahbabli]

YES ! Biffa finally used metros in his city ! Also Scrooge mcduck is probably going to buy one of the new skyscrapers you’ve built …

[@ebrand3673]

FYI: You can always tell the size of a building being built by the height of the crane it uses. Loved the one-tile challenge, by the way.

[@BritishKnight40]

Pedestrian issues at the bridge, could you not Pedestrian under or overpass? 😊

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

Nice idea 👍

[@TheBlacknight122]

22:25 I think adding the alley only allows cars, and people can't walk on it? At least I think I got the "No Pedestrian Access" message when I used it.

[@rajveerkalra2413]

I would suggest to add a larger parking lot to get the cars of the street. Love the series

[@MrMagman2478]

wonder if that traffic light thing allow you do lights for people to cross on round about like is normal in real life

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

Sadly no 👍

[@Sha-nta-nu]

Merry Christmas Biffa, Please fix the heights if the pedestrian quays you've git there It hurts my eyes to see all those bumps on the tram line Love your content ❤❤

[@flepgg]

Biffa, a little tip: you always adding your pedestrian paths (when you want to manipulate the zooning) too close to the roads, which creates the pedestrian crossing, and messes up quite a few things.

[@trev8591]

Happy Christmas Biffa and all fellow fans of the channel!

[@Andersen166]

One thing I'd like to see done is that the parking counts as street access. Why? Because many comercial buildings have their parking space in front of the store so putting a car park and then have a commercial building zoned behind it would be pretty nice, imo.

[@Viltan]

i liked the 1 tile challenge, the voiceover and speedup footage was good.

[@arjun.paliath]

It's a Biffa Video, enough said. That's more than reason enough for me to love the Video.

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

👍😁

[@Rosspeter123]

I love nothing more than settling in for Kettlebridge video

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

👍😁

[@CJKhaos]

The one tile challenge was great. Felt very ‘Twas the night before Christmas’

[@thesleepvampire]

I like the 1 tile challenge. I’d like to see what you could do with an education challenge. Does full education lead to not enough workers in industry? Also, the island you said might be a park reminds me of Isle de la Cité in Paris. Can you place churches and cemeteries in cs2?

[@xMessiahBolical]

loved the one tile video biffa

[@JesusKnowsLess]

Hey Biffa-man, when you're using the paths to change the zoning, you can't let the path get to close to the roads to the point of creating a crossroad, otherwise it changes the zoning on that road, and later when you delete the path you can have some changes again. Tip from FewCandy i believe. Peeeeeaace! Happy Holidays

[@JesusKnowsLess]

Oh, and you can guess the corner buildings by the number of "doors" they have in the construction phase. If look closely you can see they have a door space for both streets

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

Good tip, thankyou 👍

[@SvarrOS]

A gorgeous skyline! Does C:S 2 offer good ways / tools to build pedestrian bridges? I love the mod for the first game, maybe we'll have to wait for its arrival in the second... Happy holidays to you, Biffa and family! 🎄

[@pauljohnson2023]

Biffa - the shaking cars are V8s with racing cams. they are normal in Oz. Just not in the UK ...

[@sglenny001]

Merry Christmas and happy new year form Yorkshire 😊

[@c.morland]

Metro lines are my favourite!

[@thegoodthieves]

Super enjoyed the one tile challenge

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

Thank you 🤗

[@TXPhoenix79]

3:07 what about adding two pedestrian bridges and removing the lights?

[@nickbellomo3362]

As your building up especially office, you need to check your industry tab of what is needed for them offices. I bet the red is high plus your infrastructure for the area going to need an upgrade for all the materials that have to go to these buildings.

[@henryl3617]

12:38 Resolving the housing crisis one house at a time.😂

[@skindreads]

That Figura(?) bilding looks like it has underground parking built in, with the entrance where you put the parking lot in the back. I could be entirely wrong, though!

[@AdamHinckley]

6:18 don't forget the path on the right

[@bertbergers9171]

The 1-tile video was great! I love to see more on that city, and the style is as narrative as it was also really nice for future use. About this video, the traffic lights you where fixing in the beginning (round the 4 minute mark) where set-up dreadfully in efficient to my eyes. Only traffic was straight on vehicles and cross pedestrian and still it was like 4 or 5 fases in which most of the vehiclkes would stand still waiting for 2 people to cross half way at most. I guess what i am saying is shouldn't you be able to set it up as 2 fases only? 1 for pedestrians everywhere and 1 for both directions of straight on traffic? I am guessing that would increase efficiency on the junction by 50-60%

[@SpaceGiraffeC]

Thought of this when you were doing the WiFi, instead of holding things off of the screen you can hover your mouse over the the grey area of the building panel to avoid the false green

[@MrCheechopelli]

It looks like "New York-shire" now

[@SpaceGiraffeC]

When you built the path connected to the park I immediately jumped on my game to see if it was a mod or a game update type thing I neeeeeed that I was so upset when I realized it wasn’t a thing in cs2

[@SadisticSenpai61]

Oof! They need to clear their windshields off or there's going to be a ton more accidents. lol

[@sushantomajumder734]

It was very cool Voice over special

[@Tim_van_de_Leur]

29:10 No Biffa No! ;) Really a tunnel for just maintenance access? a crossing would be more realistic i guess.

[@juliomonteiro3]

You should have left the house at 12:40 alone and just build around it ;)

[@liquidificadoroficial3975]

This line tool frrom algernon is so come in handy, it has everyone we need

[@shaunw8637]

Merry Christmas have a great day

[@stinkusmcdingus]

just get the telecom pole thing because really you can put it in the centre of the frostea forestry so in conclusion, its equally (not really) spread maybe even two, also do a subway line from biffington springs with a stop on frostrea and then the other bit (the other island, ive forgotten the name lol) that (if you can) goes on a bridge or underwater, might need to be seperate lines

[@trainformerd4134]

Public transport tips: don’t put city centre metro loop buses and sometimes tram do that job 2.Railway stations should be closer to the centre 3.have a spider web pattern 4. Put bus lanes on busy roads (if there is bus route) 5. Don’t bus routes too direct cus trams and metro do that job 6. Never have ur bus routes go all around the hole city 7. Have multiple transport hubs

[@danwallis1984]

For the traffic at the beginning of the video, why not just add a small pedestrian underpass. Then you could get rid of the crossings and traffic lights completely. Especially as its a way into the city that would be getting clogged up.

[@jamesgrimbeard6407]

Absolutely great video as always. But BIFFA PLEASE upgrade the GRAND BRIDGE!!

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

I forgot!!!

[@DarinPirkey]

There should be a mod called something line "planning and zoning" that allows a section of zoning to be approved for building. Like if you wanted a corner piece, you could only allow corner pieces to grow there. Or you can designate a convenience store in a location. Or "general" use per se. Would be interesting.

[@raphaelnikolaus0486]

I would like to ask for a first-person Tram ride around the island. You'll also probably want to adjust the terrain along the tram line.
