[@muzza_gaming]

The Church Inn i feel needs a little traditional church nearby and a pond in the back of the pub, extend the outdoor garden a little just to perk the place up

[@InstructionalSparrow]

I have a meeting in 35 mins and I was just wondering what I could do to procrastinate until then ...and as if Biffa could hear my cogs turning, he drops a vid at the perfect moment! 🍵

[@roastingguy1183]

Good luck bro

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

Perfect! 😂

[@adamflynn8693]

​@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines Morriseys definitely missing a fast food place on the little industrial estate

[@bubbelz4204]

Biffa, have you considered a small village (name of bourbon) several houses (max of 10) 6 farms, a couple of small shops (maybe with accommodation) and a church... also brilliant episode and glad to see kettlewick coming along🎉

[@confused47]

The drivers of all those cars really need to clear the snow & frost off their windows before they go out driving!

[@TheDavid136]

I can see the next cs2 mod raise more money for your city buy having police ticket for various road safety infractions. L.g

[@jancfc]

35:07 Heyy Biffa I think you missed Hobnob Height when you rezoned the operating district for the cemetery 😅

[@yveslauwereyns6677]

I believe he mentions it’s fixed at 36:20

[@jancfc]

@@yveslauwereyns6677 My bad, must’ve missed that😅

[@michaeltrexler1399]

At present, there is only one way into your neighborhood! Perhaps adding a secondary entrance near the supermarket?

[@jeraldboddy5031]

I was just coming here to say is it a massive, glorified cul-de-sac

[@ChrisDombroski]

I think extending Orange Crunch Lane to the main road would be pretty natural

[@stephenclark9917]

Also paths to connect to the terraced houses over the "motorway" so people can walk from Quality Streets into the rest of the city.

[@barbarjinx3802]

The alley going up the side of the supermarket doesn’t connect to the delivery area of the market. Your trucks will be using the main roundabout you wanted them to avoid. Also I think that invisible path you tried to draw in didn’t connect to the parking lot.

[@stevieinselby]

I think that alley was for the industrial units behind Morrimogs, not for the lorries heading into the delivery bays for the supermarket itself, the road from the main entrance was extended to cover that.

[@SuperDave1426]

@@stevieinselby I thought he said, as he was making that adjustment, that he didn't want trucks going in by way of the front roundabout, but rather the alley road he placed that also went around the back. Hopefully he sees these comments and decides which way he actually wanted it. 😋

[@PerfectAlibi1]

0:19 Out of town?! Of course, gotta make it only accessible by car. The car industry demands it!

[@danielfall7734]

I think a proper retail park would be a nice addition. I've seen some that are semi-rural and some in more built-up areas. Could be a nice destination, with like a Toby Carvery type pub/restaurant. Loving seeing Kettlewick grow!

[@capedkat]

That new pub at the end is the cutest thing ever! And I'm also impressed with how skilled Biffa is becoming with CS2! There was a time I didn't care much for CS2, but that has definately changed ☺

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

👍😊

[@ExperiencersInternational]

I honestly wish the internet assets in the game was more realistic, you're not going to have things as big as that in a UK city. You're probably just going to get a pole with a few cabinets that primarily serves a radius of 600m to a few miles, that's it.

[@ExperiencersInternational]

I want to try and model my own stuff for CS1 since we don't really have any realistic assets in that game but I don't really know how to make stuff in Blender that well

[@merccar5965]

I don’t know if I’ve translated it correctly ( most likely not) but I felt kettlewick needs its own little heraldic emblem and motto I’ve translated “in the face of adversity brew some tea “ into Latin and got this in facie adversis aliqua tea orum I’m sure there are coat of arms generators online , felt like British town/city deserves some (albeit forced) heritage!

[@720SspressoMC]

Not many uk towns have a motto

[@merccar5965]

@ most of the big ones do. I suppose it’s split into counties /councils. I’m actually curious now to find out how many do (I’ve only ever lived in big cities in the UK)

[@kameelmohammed4683]

The morrisys could do with a bus stop

[@Stannington]

Good effort. I reckon a cafe and a park could be a good idea between the supermarket and the petrol station, sort of like a garden centre

[@macaidwin]

I found out that cutting on budgets have massive effects on everything that generates money. When you raised the budgets on police and fire protection it seems you made lots more money then before. Low budgets has effects on productivity, energy production, transport and exports. So in the beginning of a new city it's okay, but you definitely need to keep an eye on it and raise the budgets in time or your city will get in financial troubles. Lovely video again😍😍

[@stefanvanrijsingen]

Might want to check your telecommunications budget. The range of the radio masts decreases with a low budget.

[@bjorn.josmans]

In Belgium it was snowing and freezing yesterday, but the upside is you can watch city skylines under a warm blanket with a cup of tea. Thank you Biffa

[@yveslauwereyns6677]

Definitely still snowing and freezing today 🥶

[@capedkat]

Oeh I am very jealous. I live right near the border above Antwerpen in the Netherlands and we haven't seen any snow yet.

[@bjorn.josmans]

@@capedkat laten we hopen vanavond 🤞

[@leonardochapman4736]

in the UK it snowed on Saturday, we still have 10cm now today where I am, and won't have +0° until Sunday

[@Blutaar42]

Was staying in Hospital for 2 days for eye surgery for the Keratoconus and right when I'm back home Biffa released a new CS2 video. Still can't see it clear without the glasses but it gets better.

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

Hope that all went ok, as a fellow Keratoconus sufferer I know how rough it can be. All the best with the recovery :-)

[@Blutaar42]

@@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines thanks and recovery is going great. I can definitely see better already and today was the first day back at work. I still have some restrictions (like not allowed to drive for at least 2 more weeks or no heavy lifting), obviously.

[@Tinhare]

Yay, real life retail. Watch over the next few episodes as it expands to a full retail park and the high street slowly dies and gets boarded up 😊

[@stephenclark9917]

The White bus line travels down a dead end to turn around.

[@Rbull076]

Dear Biffa, when Timberborn? Really missing that series.

[@magicalmac7505]

8:40 "Mom, look! A shooting star!" "No, Honey. That's just a taxi with a CS2 visual fade glitch."

[@m2m462]

I can see the junction next to the supermarket slowly being surrounded by big retail shops, it's what happens in real life. Before you know it there will be a B&Q/Wickes/HomeBase, B&M/The Range, Currys, Argos, Next... etc, a couple of fast food places and a chain coffee shop tucked in between the roads leading to the junction on each side.

[@Lordyt109]

You should put a small firehouse in cupton and other in quality crest, so the fire engines don't have to go all the way over and in the process loosing four or ten houses

[@ChrisDombroski]

I'd like to know where the people walking at 6:31 are going. The only thing in the direction they're walking is Cupton Bluff I think, but that's a long distance to walk

[@jimkats1]

From the intro of the video, I understood that when there's no crossing marking, the peds run, but when there are crossings, they walk. So, having no markings, even though peds will still pass, they will take less time which means it still helps a bit with the traffic. Nice.

[@johnbuyers8095]

Time for a DIY store, you know we all love a way to injure ourselves at a weekend 😂

[@izzatsufian2796]

Kettlewick will be the big city in the series and if this is real, it will be worth visit same as other channels such as Infrastucturist's Riverview and Easthaven County

[@zoetaylor1143]

When you build a train station, maybe consider “the liquorice line” or “the lollipop line”. Love your videos!

[@daecatt]

There's something incredibly bizarre at looking at the snowing and seeing the perfectly clean streets and sidewalks. I kinda wish this game had snow slush, and people preferring public transport (or just not going!) when the snow is at its worst.

[@WizzardofOdds]

The trucks are still going to come in to the the store on the main road as their path enters at the right side of the store. The road to the back of the store would have been better entering to the left of the parking lot. When you were marking cemetery area, you may have unchecked Hobnob Heights.

[@raemars580]

Biffa, i think adding the extensions on fire and police will help traffic since they are covering the whole area. Love the addition of the supermarket!

[@origamibird001]

Some cool things that I think would tie into the vibe of a UK countryside: - Having winding, narrow roads lined tightly with hedges or stone walls connecting villages or highways in certain points, just like you see in certain parts of the UK ("I know a shortcut."). That way you can have industrial farm zoning and avoid too much industrial sprawl/complexes forming. - Building "walking trails" between villages and through the fields or near the same roads between villages. - Having a manor/small castle building surrounded by a garden/park with the lore that the family who live there have opened up the grounds as a public area to help pay for the upkeep and council rates attached to their estate. So it's like a historical monument/tourist site and also brings in those UK elements of old family estates that struggle to afford the upkeep and turn to selling off parcels of land or other alternatives to bring in money.

[@gyngertano5409]

Love the British build Biffa! I think you need a little co-op or convenience store by the new pub, and a walking path at the end of those very long roads so the kids can get to the bus stop!

[@genguis7461]

You Could Name the Church Inn and Bistro - Brewers Fayre, slight tea pun but quite apt

[@LiqdPT]

28:53 I think the editor zoomed in on the wrong thing here. Biffa's talking about 18k residents, and he's showing the cash flow...

[@drjonritz]

I wonder when this city will get its own football club. Maybe a rural village could have a junior league subsidiary. Maybe they ALL could! Maybe there'll be rivalries?

[@aplays99]

just a suggestion but maybe you could share the car park for the morrisons with the petrol station? also this place could be fitting for an industrial estate/shopping estate so here are some name ideas: Bounty Business Park Mars Manufacturing Hub Crunchie Commerce Centre KitKat Kinetics Zone Twirl Trade Park Flake Factory District Galaxy Goods Gateway Dairy Milk Distribution Drive Wispa Warehouse Way Toffee Crisp Trade Terminal

[@lordraven2264]

When I moved to MO, people would say "If you don't like the weather in MO, just wait an hour." It was spring, and they weren't kidding!!! The fire trucks have too far to drive.

[@carriegarrisonvos4433]

Kettlewick needed that addition today and it's looking very good!! Keep up the great building! Look forward to the next episode🤩

[@petesomebody7389]

Biffa you could do with a bus to morrissys and also cud you put a couple of shelters in the car park with trollies in as there is a trolly prop ❤❤

[@Wasdgamerke]

those houses exploding were just golden😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@montykenrick1004]

Funny thing is the most unrealistic part of this is the fact it’s snowing

[@leonardochapman4736]

we've had pretty good snow since Saturday in Sheffield

[@michaeld5370]

Love this series! If you need to name another suburb or village then maybe consider 'Blackpot' from the well known phase 'kettle calling the pot black' ;)

[@simongeard4824]

The fun you were having with recurring hedges is reminiscent of problems you were having building a customised stadium in a previous city... you kept removing some of the built-in sections with unwanted roofs, and they kept coming back every time you touched it.

[@wolfenhalo]

'Not too long before the rain washes it all away again' he says, the very week the snow has been on the ground without thawing for nearly a week now in Yorkshire 😂 -6 this morning!

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

I wished that happened here! We got snow.... then rain washed it all away 😅

[@michalma]

Would love to see some nature features in your build. Hills, lakes, rocks and parks. ❤

[@Swiftfire]

I think a footpath or a park from the new resident area to the supermarket would be good.

[@stevengalloway8052]

Your approaches to Kettlewick and New Brewburgh provide a really stark contrast, Biffa. I'm impressed that you can keep the two separate without becoming confused! 😆

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

Barely! 😅

[@questionmaker5666]

Cool, very British feel. Can't wait for the historical area of the city. 🌨☃⛄⛄☃

[@atillathekitteh3957]

Biffa, you certainly are a charming man for building a Morrisey's. I'll get my coat...

[@Lilianne8]

Thanks for the entertainment once again. Peeeeerfect for the lack of energy, just veg in front of the telly 😊

[@tigonologdring9189]

Ha! I was literally making a note to tell you about the sub-elements thing when you interrupted yourself to explain it! Yen did explain it to the team early on (since I requested it in the first place) but I can't remember the exact whys and wherefores. Love the Morrisey's! But those long terraces... maybe a cross-lane at the least at the end of them? All the cul-de-sacs I remember from terraced rows were the really short stubs up against things like the football ground, or the car park for something big. Felt a wee pang of loss for those field boundary hedges and trees too... quite often preservation orders on the trees and the roads have to run alongside. But little things... love the build all the same!

[@zoetaylor1143]

I think you should call something “tea cake corner” as it works with tea and tea cakes are incredibly British!

[@LostGravityGaming]

Kettlewick feels like, with its growth into a small town… It feels like it would have ‘big business’ expansion around Morriseys area. I could totally see an IKEA and some car retailers moving in 😂

[@BoiBoi-hg4hh]

Missed oppurtunity to name the village Tetley named after the teabags because that really fits in with Kettlewick

[@antoinemorel9654]

Since you changed the districts for your schools you might also change the bus lanes that go from your housing estates to the schools as people will not go to a school in another district.

[@bartkoopman6858]

I think we need another football club for the derby right?

[@marcrotterdam010]

Loving the series. When will you hook up the Railroad line into the main city of Kettlewick? Can't wait to see trains go into the city.

[@mateuszkunda9400]

Love the build and the street layout is so very British all over the place! Here's an idea - how about creating a proper city centre, perhaps inspired by some of UK's bigger cities, such as Nottingham, Birmingham or Bristol, etc? You know, with some squares, bigger buildings, etc? That would be fabulous! I mean perhaps for now there are not yet enough UK assets for the very urban city centre but at least an area might be saved for the future once (hopefully) some assets start popping up :)

[@dukereilly7626]

Hey Biffa, loving this series. I had a couple of random ideas whilst watching this episode. I think that when you detail around morrisons maybe add a smalll retail park i think you know the type, with a screwfix or a b&q maybe a greggs lol. Second one was a village name suggestion, Biscuit related. Garibalisham. I live in Norfolk and a few of the old villages out this way have ham at the end of the name. Just an idea. Thank you for the hard work mate and keep it up we love it.

[@EternalGamingNet]

Lovely little expansion to the city. Great build, reminded me I need to go shopping.

[@RoseAnneLivao]

I always learn something new watching your Cities Skylines 2 streams! Thank you for sharing your gameplays! 💯

[@Marcus_Aurelius_1978]

IRL there are NO crosswalks on the road to the Morrissey's shopping center!? I don't mean the crosswalks in between the building and the parking lot. I am talking about the roundabouts and the road from the highway! Nice TEA town!

[@NotFlint]

I think you should have a look into the budget tab. Maybe the internet etc. is so low because you adjusted it to safe the city in the beginning. The area of affect seems quite small for a internet tower....

[@FaithlessEmoRacing]

Video 8 of asking for a couple of trollies in a river to complete a UK build. Also is the train station at Cupton bluff turned off?

[@alistairogara]

Where I'm from (west yorkshire) There the huge Haribo factory, its part of the Rhubard triangle, and also the home of liquerice...would be great to include those. Also how about a National Trust/English Heritage style house if possible!!!

You need a windscreen wiper factory so everyone can remove the snow and see out of their vehicles; lol

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

😅

[@Mohegan13]

We need a Tekso and ASBO to go with that Morrissey's. Maybe a Fidl and Albi for good measure.

[@AstonProudley]

Don’t think anyone will be able to use the extended car park, as there’s no car paths over the texture. But there does need to be another retail estate. Just bigger with more shops or maybe large sports development, maybe rugby rather than football.

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

Good call 👍

[@pagjam]

If there is a cricket ground as an asset available you should get it and place it somewhere.

[@SiqueScarface]

I wonder if place names like Toffeeton, Dean's place, Farmhouse District, Darjeeling, Assamby or Ceylonish make any sense.

[@dreamlineraviation9280]

you need to up your communications budget so the radio masts can have a larger area of effect

[@unstoppable2180]

7:33 I think that's meant to be Morrisons. And also not sure if there is a mod for it yet but I was thinking a mod for the buildings you can only place once (forgot the name) to have it so you can choose whether it actually adds the benefits or not, so you can place more than one without cheating?? Not quite cheating but I couldn't think of any other words..
