I like it :-)

I was thinking about something like "The Teapot" but yours is FAR better. XD

[@molar1979]

I was just about to comment with this name.

[@henke37]

Next episode: adding the metro stations to the new area. Oh, and fixing that funny looking metro tunnel.

[@Jackson873]

I found a glass metro entrance i use myself. It will be stunning between the palace and the city hall

[@shotgunmouthwash-2718]

call the section arround the Amsterdam Palace: TheeWijk (Dutch for tea neighbourhood)

[@omaewamoushindeiru1237]

Perfecte naam

[@hamish5793]

It is a very good name, Het is een hele goede naam😉

[@alexcjoyce]

That Uni needs some more sporting facilities and you will smash the attractiveness. Loving this build 👍🏻

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

Good idea :-)

[@medicallyunexplainedsymptoms]

It's pretty much the only way you can do it. I'd really like a non-US version of the Campus DLC. We have a couple of football pitches and a small sports centre on the campus I work on, not five different stadia!

[@danish5332]

@@medicallyunexplainedsymptoms yeah, we need smaller football pitch!!!!!

[@pokergeniusordonkey6517]

I hope the Horkeybor Quay metro line loops back to the Spider hub. A few extra turns and above ground stops will make the line feel a little horkey-borky and cool.

[@whooshboosh]

Or add a stop from the horkeybor quay line to the new area, and then a direct line from the new area to the spider too.

[@ram64man]

The spider junction is perfect for a mix of leisure and offices, maybe a sporting venue too - call it web-tea city

[@dominikk6531]

I actually loved the look of these abandoned offices :( Also, the entry of tunnel of your underground near the roundabout is weirdly clipping through the ground, it can be seen at 13:37, sorry if it was fixed and I just didn't notice on the time lapse!

[@redtool]

I still saw that during the District tour, so that weird looking invisible wall wasn't fixed.

[@rosemarydodds7665]

The train tunnel was driving me nuts the entire video. 🙈 I kept hoping Biffa would notice.

[@madzap]

The 81 tiles mod causes havoc on the underground - it sinks them to -48m over time. Replace 81 with 25 and it's fine.

[@BlackPointt]

What a perfect timing just opened YT and sees biffa uploaded 19secs ago, welp i know what ill be watching first then :D

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

:-)

[@vinceghio]

@@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines biff if you have a sports area for the campus I would put a second bookstore near there so people can buy all there fan gear before the game in the us. All the d1 schools have pop up bookstores a round campus and in the stadiums where fans can buy there fan gear like foam fingers, button,shirts and more

[@frankg_15]

You could make a bus line(s) that connects all the Spar-tea university campuses. It could maybe also be a trolleybus for more variety

[@scottheighton5971]

Also, Biffa, you could have just used Move It!'s "reset object" function on the abandoned buildings to unabandon them...

[@Matt28284]

Lovely video. One hint: The connecting bridges in your grid seem to not have any pillars. I wouldn’t want to walk or drive under them, too scared of the structure falling down.

[@poilboiler]

Don't worry, there is strength in arches.

[@edwardmiessner6502]

You should see what they build in California! Yet the structures stay up.

[@thunderlipsjoe216]

I'm fairly certain instead of rebar they used tea leaves to reinforce the concrete, everyone knows that will stand the test of time

[@carstenzimmermann4435]

Biffa, may I suggest you mention the date of recording at the beginning of each episode and/or plans for next episodes at the end? If so, your followers would know the overlap between recording and their feedback on previous episodes. E.g., obviously you would not name the prison island here if this has been recorded before "alcatraz development" has been uploaded & commented... Seeing our comments impact your build is highly appreciated and (at least for me) big part of the fun. Thanks for the entertainment!

[@korzenpl]

A small tip: if asymetrical roads have traffic lights, the lane for turning right should be separate, because people turning right have green light for longer, and that way they won't be stopped by people going straight

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

Indeed :-)

[@kaltaron1284]

That's exactly the opposite of what's normally done. Because straight and right have an easier time going they are normally put together and left which needs to cross gets its own lane. An exception is of course if the traffic flow in the city means that far more people want to go right than in other directions.

[@MrCalls1]

@@kaltaron1284 I suspect @Pharyngeal fricative was using LHS driving ie British. Hence you agree. And why I prefer to say cross turns, or near-side/slip turns. Just to try and communicate to LHS and RHS systems.

[@kaltaron1284]

@@MrCalls1 Might be. OTOH Biffa has RHS in this city and some crossroads are set up with right turn as a single lane and ahead and left as the combined one.

[@Arhey]

@@kaltaron1284 Absolutely. Longer right turn phase is not that important, while blocking traffic for turning left is an issue.

[@lorenzobortoloni]

34:50 strange metro line going underground

[@hamiltonjames8255]

@Biffa Plays Indie Games in the mining area, or the quarry that existed when you started that game, the one above the university, you should make it a natural disaster site, like a meteor landed their and it's been (being) mined. You could even cause a natural disaster to occur there! i think it would make a great addition to your university area, an archeology study area!

[@carstenzimmermann4435]

In order to perfectly continue the pattern, you could toggle (off) the zoning on the avenue between roundabout and tunnel. This would allow 4U zoning from "Laurel Park". I like the symmetry of the area (for a change), but frankly speaking I'd prefer if one could see the masterpieces in the center from a distance, i.e lower buildings around it.

[@treytucker227]

At first I wasn’t feeling how all the buildings looked identical but then you beautified it and gave us the cinematic view at the end and wow I loved it. Probably one of my fav videos yet of New Tealand

[@goldenhedehogs]

The name of the metro spider station should be "The Big Tea Pot", since we are filling the other depots with it.

[@Khannea]

Hahaha we bike by that Amsterdam palace so often. So weird seeing it in here.

[@samlukas2299]

AmsTEAdam Palace?

[@Khannea]

@@samlukas2299 Yes! But we don't call it "tea" here.

[@wavesAndBerms]

This new development doesn't seem consistent with the character of the city. It seems like you've inserted a kind of soviet brutalist architecture, which seems out of place on a coral atoll. It has turned into an eastern block version of Honolulu.

[@bryce0110]

Eh, this isn't really brutalist architecture. Buildings looking the same or similar does not make it brutalist.

[@mbrackeva]

The big commercial buildings in the theme were really built to be plopped instead of grown. There's some beautiful ones in there but unfortunately you mainly have just one type now.

[@roddo1955]

The new area looks nice but is odd. Two historical landmarks surrounded by the same boxy buildings. I would feel disorientated; all the buildings look the same. I would at least expect some variety between historic and modern. It looks like a cheap housing project surrounding prime historic landmarks. Soviet version of Hawaii

[@MrSquark]

Where the elevated paths are over the roundabout, pop a little connecting path over to the main block so they can walk more directly through

[@Mr_Drogan]

Turn those elevated paths into a park then put an entrance to make money from all those pedestrians?

[@royvandermarel3953]

Such a Biffa move to prepare amazing public transport connection possibilities for a new area and forgetting to use any of them. Love. It.

[@tbestig4164]

That new grid around the city hall seems very grim and monotone, I certainly wouldn’t want to walk through there on a daily basis :P Unfortunately that’s pretty realistic to how some areas developed. Absolutely immense development projects with rigidly modernist design. Good addition to the city, even though it’s not really my style lol

[@justthatguy9946]

Tip for any "striped/chevron" fills using intersection marking tool: The stripes always point away from the direction of travel, so they don't look like angled parking bays.

[@poilboiler]

No Biffa! Pull up! Don't get pulled down into the marsh of manually placing buildings. You'll spend ten episodes at 2fps meticulously placing and decorating a single row of housing.

[@EdwinBramble]

Biffa: "I'm only going to purchase squares as I need" Also Biffa: "Why the heck not"

[@duszhduszh]

You really are outdoing yourself, Biffa. This looks fantastic. I thought Teaport was next level but... this is next level. Bravo.

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

Thank you so much 🤗

[@5lu5h]

Just in time for a new video :D btw you can use the node controller mod to slope the train/metro tracks when going from elevated to ground to underground like last episode or at an junction. Although you loose the roller coaster effect ;)

[@notgotaclue4809]

Newtealand needs an army base. That would be a cool addition on one of the islands, or a navy base. Or another high density centre with IT Cluster.

[@trevorp-j]

Perfect timing. Just sat down for lunch with a large brew and Biffa pops up with another marvellous build! It will look even better after some mass transit upgrades. Keep up the great content Biffa!

[@alienamzal477]

Was refreshing my subscriptions feed for this

[@nurhaidahsanayajabir6841]

Wow look at how nice that city center looks at night!

[@CarinaCoffee]

I really love how this came together, especially with the parks and plazas added. And the tourist specialisation adds a nice contrast to the same-y grid.

[@ashleyharter]

I been hooked on these videos to the point the misses asked if theres a new biffa video we go to bed watching them 🤣🤣

[@Aikidjam]

What a beautiful area! Looks very neat, and would become even more pleasant with green and water spots

[@krisculin9679]

I just used that same metro hub in one of my recent cities. It's amazing! I used it as the centerpiece of my university. This allows all areas of the city to come into the university and switch metro lines or get off and go to school. Works beautifully. Thanks for the idea Biffa!!! My population grew from 60k to over 150k because of that one metro hub along with getting to a 5 star University in just a matter of hours (IRL).

[@soberhippie]

There was a young fellow called Biffie, Who built a cool town in a jiffy, He knew no fatigue Through the power of Tea, And it ended up looking quite spiffing

[@fleky321]

I don't know if anyone else saw it but the tunnel for your metro on the University end is buried. Brilliant episode and loving the look of the new area

[@ArnoModelstate]

When Biffa said more industry my mind went .... that harber section is just perfect so everything can go on ships and not trucks !

[@barnabyhmarkus]

Yes yes yes! Absolutely loved this one - it's pure satisfaction seeing the new downtown fill up. Thank you Biffa!!

[@williamhuang8309]

Biffa, when designing metro, you should have plenty of places to switch lines. With a hub and spoke system, when you commute between areas close to each other on separate lines, you need to go all the way back to the central hub and then go all the way back out again, which isn't very efficient.

[@wreckcelsior]

17:10 Your cross-over-bridge-roads put me in mind of Skye Storme's old Cash Cow. cheers Biffa.

[@timvanarsdel]

Maybe call Lafayette Hills *"Soul Teastroying"* because these grand-scale rubberstamp projects over the past few episodes are hollow, blighted, and empty of passion. And call the spider terminal *"Unsubbed"* because I don't see any subways. Tata, matey-o!

[@H4ppsy]

Hey Biffa & friends, (33:40 -Little tips&trick, maybe ? Upvote to be seen if you like it) maybe use the thingy on the road section, that don't allow the gridline next to a specific road. If you do it just on the big main road, you will still have the sides roads of a "cube space" to be work. So the grid, will now only match the sided roads and make a good/perfect grid. Try it out ? (Work well on 'Un Rond Point' in french :p) I started the game 3 days ago after watching almost 50% of your vid ! Nice job ! But if you got time, i would love you to show exaclty all the set of mods you using. (like the UnifiedUI thingy :o) Because i only find "Top 10" mods, and i think you still using some that you didn't put in the top. (Or i'm just bad with mods haha.) Thanks for the funs !

[@hikarifaith4502]

Office area naming idea: call the main district Majistea Business Park, then call the inner district Majistea Business Park Plaza. I also recommend adding a couple food trucks and other props to make the plaza look a little more lively.

[@dr_j0nes]

This would have been the perfect opportunity to plop the growables Biffa :)

[@tyronepowers76]

[@Ensivion]

I can tell by the amount of detail in this episode you really enjoyed creating this part of the city. I'd be willing to bet you just couldn't wait to build this. Great start so far, as you said, it does need more and I'm excited to see it.

[@antonymash9586]

You need a trains station. Maybe even run a cannal and barge port to get freight to your comercial zone without clogging up your roads.

[@captain61games49]

Biffa don't forget to put some cargo railway stations in the main city to ease truck traffic

[@jimfrostpreaches]

Biffa. you are so close to using plop the growables! You can do it man! NAME IDEA for you new center: Matcha City Center. Matcha is a type of green tea,

[@phorewhoresman1897]

After a pot of coffee and city growth, I find the need to redesign my cities through the use of meteor storms, earthquakes, storms, sinkholes, tsunamis, fires, zombie outbreaks, and a polite Canadian invasion allied with the Salvation Army all at once. I'm terrible at this game but love it!

[@coletan6658]

You should make the train hub "Tea-rantula Station" cause it looks like a spider web like structure

[@papagrounds]

Oh no, which one was faster 🤔

[@Sam-es2gf]

Those assets are gorgeous. It would be nice if you could lower the level of some of the city blocks either on a diagonal or straight through so people can see those lovely centre buildings from different areas of the city. For example, you could have a bike/pedestrian path with some park assets from near the roundabout (or crossing from the campus) cutting towards the centre. This would enable a great view from the campus and would also help the traffic as currently a lot of it is being funneled down that 4 lane road (with no bike path).

[@TuomasLeone]

Another good area built up lickety-split! I think that pedestrian roundabout could be lowered just a touch and also use a direct connection to the new area. Looking forward to seeing what mass transit you use for this area. Also maybe a small leisure area within that tourist area, the college kids would appreciate it!

[@riccardozanotta518]

To bring transport in the new area, I would extend the current metro line that is running to the main station. Instead of having that steep transition from the underground to above ground metro, I would have stations (idk if you can find a station that has a built-in overground and underground platforms, otherwise just put two stations next to each other) for the cims to change lines.

[@riccardozanotta518]

Also I think that you could bring a metro line across the mountain (since it’s already tunnels anyways) and to the old (tourism/leisure?) area next to where there is the cinema

[@mathiasbecktangaaandersen2490]

Great episode, love the new area! The metro coming up through the ground right next to your new area is kinda glitchet out. You can easily fix it with a piece off track on the ground, it's caused by going from "tunnel" to "above ground" right next to each other, you need a piece in between that's "ground level", just make it very short and remember to use node controller after, to fix the slope ;)

[@Tchelow]

This area turned out to be a nice surprise. Can't wait to see what's next ☺️

[@Arauge1981]

New area reminds me of Barcelona with all of the squared buildings. Looks awesome.

[@Rikard_Nilsson]

That pedestrian roundabout is massively tall, might want to lower it down to just above truck-height. As it is you could fit a truck-truck-truck...truck under there.

[@ffabien8822]

Biffa invented the flying bridge, huge revolution in engineering!!! No pillars needed🤣

[@johnboyer144]

You managed to make the most oppressive and scary area I have ever seen in this game.

[@Orinslayer]

Its like a capitalist commie block.

[@miche13curry]

To maintain the biking in those initial arterials, you could do those as 2 one way roads, 1 into the area 1 out and do bike lanes on them!

[@celovskyp]

30:45 magic metro entrance :D in the hill :DDD

[@ashullu]

it would be great if you added some more paths to the new area, like being able to walk there straight from the campus.

[@bahamutbbob]

Biffa: You need to follow your nose and make your city unique! Also Biffa: I made a district where the whole thing looks the same on a grid pattern!

[@NobleSaintDGreat]

Eiffel tower is much better in the center as a focal point since it kind of resembles a modern Paris. Especially looking far from a distance. Because the skyline is flat.

[@RedVelocityTV]

A sunken metro station in one of the flower gardens park would be perfect Biffa Cakes!

[@kowalski6671]

biffa your connection from the train hub to the spider hub got obstructed when you placed the pedestrian crossings on the roundabout! the next tram is going to smash into a big hill lol

[@ElwoodGaming]

You should do a run through of plopable RICO, you could put all those buildings in just the way you wanted. That area would be a good example of when you would actually want to try and coordinate the style.

[@quintongpereira]

New district name recommendation: The Royal- Tea Wing. Btw, I think the metro line got a bit messed up before the round-a-bout. Do check and shiftify it a bit :) Love your videos as always!

[@kylelenci]

Hey Biffa I just wanted to let you know that you’ve been an amazing inspiration for my city builds and for my anxiety as I fall asleep at night. I do appreciate these City videos and hope that everything is going well for you :).

[@barti0806bb]

The Amsterdam Palace, or Paleis op de Dam, was built as a city hall between 1648 and 1665 and opened in 1655. So that's what time period the palace is from. Also, my suggestion for the metro hub is Tea-rantula.

[@oujg00]

At 15:16, your underground tracks appear to be broken. Not sure what might have happened there, but you may want to check it out. Loving the new area!

[@reinerjung1613]

Instead of adding additional roads in to Cedar Hills, you could establish public transport. Maybe a tram or a loopy bus route and a subway station or - alternatively - link the tram to the central station by the university. I would go for a subway station in parallel to the main road which goes under the train tracks in a tunnel and a tram circling around. Another thought you could let the tram cross in the middle between the Palace and the City Hall on tram only tracks. There are also tram+bike tracks.

[@samfotoz]

Biffa, you can use Node Controller on Metro and Railway's. It'll work on Crossings and Points, as well as easing Bridge-Ground-Tunnel connections by sloping the node.

[@konstavilkman4926]

I think you should add crossings for the roads, so sims could use those flower garden parks (36:00) as a pathway. Might mess up with the traffic though, but I'd give it a go.

[@Nitsan_]

I personally feel like this area was a missed opportunity to make an old-town district using the European buildings and all the European themed unique buildings. But ofcourse, this is just a matter of personal opinion.

[@AdamWaitt]

I feel like this should be done over in the new section by the spider station. And not with a grid.

[@RobertSavello]

Not sure if you're aware or not, but the 81 tiles mod makes your metro sink a little lower each time you buy a square. Not sure why, but it's that mod. its best to just unlock the whole city (once you're at the point you are where you can buy all the tiles), that way you don't have to re-do the metro because they get broken or wonky.

[@teekayfourtwoone4686]

The new area looks nice. 30:24 Maybe the "north" side of the road ("Laurel Park") should have been high density residential. A good source of residents to go to the new commercial/office area, as well as the adjacent university.

[@angela8533]

SO many roads in there don't have dedicated turning lanes! Make sure you don't forget those! Might be able to help with the traffic

[@thrupence2125]

I don't know, if anyone has said this before...but, you have a great late night "Radio 2 (style) voice". (more than once i've fallen asleep, while watching your vids.). Anyway keep up the good work, old chap.

[@GustavSvard]

Biffa, Biffa, Biffa... You forgot to hook up the pedestrian roundabout directly into the new area! 35:25 just add ramps from the elevated walkway to the corners of the new areas so the pedestrians don't have to walk two blocks over to access the new area? Also, maybe lower the pedestrian walkways? They look about twice as tall as needed. Might not affect the game, but man I get tired just looking at the cims climbing those hills :D

[@samantharichardson6956]

I’m loving this series and don’t want it to stop!

[@TimHoff85]

Two issues that I saw that would be easily fixed... 1. One of the pedestrian bridges is facing the wrong direction. 2. Add a pedestrian walkway from the roundabout walkway to each of the commercial areas to make the walk much shorter.

[@soberhippie]

30:57 You could also add a few pedestrian paths from those 45 and 90 degree corners of the streets in new area going to the train station area and the university

[@StarStrukk2694]

For the odd zoning places, I use a road de-zoner mod called “Zoning toolset (toggle + upgrade tool)” by Arch Angel. I dezone my main roads like your 4 lane with bike paths that run through the new areas. I don’t know what your stance is on that mod but it might help you get nice zoneable areas. Sorry if it’s been discussed before!

[@DrssaFerri]

Biffa great job! in the middle of the walking roudabout i would put a modern monument or even a fountain

[@thunderlipsjoe216]

@Biffa Plays Indie Games For the tourism hub @34:20 you can just change the road zoning, so you turn off zoning on the bridge segments and the grid will reestablish nicely just to the roads who's zones are still on. It is the grid icon where the other road options are located (snapping, curved, etc). The quick setting is the 'upgrade road' toggle then toggle to zone or dezone. It can get tedious but it seriously helps when you converge multiple elevations in the same area. It is a GREAT toggle for when you want to disallow buildings from using certain roads, forcing them to align to side roads to help alleviate traffic on a main throughway, helpful when you grid often. Zoning toolset and No pillars gives this ability, but i think Network extensions 2 also does. Basically it helps clean up the default behavior of the game, which is to give each road zoning when placed, by deselecting certain segments you can better fill blocks. Also, tip with the move it mod, if when you finish moving a building, it isn't green, there's an issue with road zoning alignment or zoning underneath. So, if you ever do your copy paste trick, if after paste if it isn't green but is instead still blue, there's an alignment, road zone toggle, or zone underneath issue. Skips having to re copy a bunch of stuff if you catch it as your placing.

[@freddundas7393]

Might need to tweak the levels of the underground monorail, as when you purchase the additional squares with the 81 tile mod it can move them down another 12 units (hence tunnel by the new zone doesn't look right now)

[@OpenMindet]

You should change the crossings beside the bridges, so they can't directly cross the sections there. They should use the bridges only to get from one to the other side. So the traffic will be much better :)

[@henkterbeest4938]

Ah cool, the Amsterdam palace, as a native Dutch. Actually the palace is center in Amsterdam on the “Dam” which is a large paved square with also a memorial of WW2 across of the palace.

[@der-ScheF]

Looks nice. The walking roundabout reminds me of Mekka, where tons of people walks round.

[@andytespyx6223]

Maybe roads around the main buildings of the new area could be turned into a three-lane roundabout, to ease the traffic around it. Also, you could insert road connections between areas without crossing 4 lane roads, as you usually said in your traffic fix videos :)

[@ajhd2005]

For palace buildings, Royal-tea puns are great 😂

[@axelrajr]

for transit, just add a station or two on the metro line that already goes through to the spider station from the other area. along with those trees in the middle of the roundabout, you could dump some of those inconvenient rocks in there too.

[@jeremycooper250]

FIX!!! The tunnel from the University train hub to the tea-rantula station. The ground has popped through. Also try using more underground tunnels for walking and biking, could free up traffic.

[@pRIderzaur]

Hyia Biffa! I'd suggest placing the Environmental School on the road directly and maybe fiddle with the parking you built a bit. It's a shame that such big buildings with lots of built-in parking don't have actual road access. And it shouldn't cause any issues anyway. Or at least consider this for the last School (or maybe you'll build a University/Liberal Arts campus after this one's maxed, heh). Why not keep the 2 (3) portions of road that just connect the area with the main road be the bit wider with bycles lane? You don't lose important space just for those connections. And poor people don't need to carry them over their shoulders.
