We Asked For this HUGE Traffic Increase in Cities Skylines 2!

The healthcare problem you are talking about has nothing to do with actual healthcare but with the deathcare. At 17:45 you can see 264 deaths per month and a capacity of 100 a month. Hope this helps! Love your video's!

[@narvalin5905]

I think you also need to check your ground pollution. It seems most of the Ambulance signs pop up near your industrial area.

[@netkitten]

You know for all the valid criticisms about the launch of CS2, it really is a beautiful game when you were in third person on the street level.

[@simongeard4824]

One suggestion... you've built a lot of cul-de-sacs and a lot of paths, but you've not really connected them. In my experience, those little dead-end streets almost always have pedestrian paths connecting them, so you don't have to go back to the main roads to get around.

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

Keep watching 👍😁

[@mrtbts]

@@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylinesi think they meant u should connect the cul-de-sacs directly to the main road with a path instead of using the path to connect to the collector

[@simongeard4824]

@@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines Did I miss something? I didn't _see_ any connections to the cul-de-sacs... plenty of paths threading their way around them, but no actual connectivity...

I love the sight of all those cranes building places in the suburbs, despite the fact no crane would ever be used at such heights for small houses and bungalows. Someone in the New Brewburgh council must obviously be a crane fanatic! 😆

[@withoutatrace52]

It's corruption. Crane company greased the palms of a few New Brewburgh politicians and now every new construction requires a massive static crane.

[@jasonlescalleet5611]

That’s one silly little thing that’s always annoyed me about this game. Tower cranes are for towers. Houses and other small buildings need little truck cranes if anything. Also, those tower cranes can grow along with the building they’re constructing-they don’t need to start out at skyscraper height before the skyscraper even starts getting built. Though that does have in game usefulness, giving you an idea of how tall the building will end up being.

[@stevekirkby6570]

Or takes back-handers from the crane manufacturer :)

[@timturner4856]

Not sure if you caught it, but the med center you put in could not access the new area. That road was connected to the farming area so you may need to sneak a road in to get them better access. Also, the Comms Tab on the progression screen has a better tower. Need to look at the balance between the two, but the unlockable one has a massive coverage range, no upgrades, but I think just one will cover a 3x3 tile city with really good coverage. Otherwise, I love the look and the auto names of the district zones. they look really good!

[@bonknana]

Since you've got issues with healthcare & deathcare I'd love to see you build a (university) hospital complex with a nearby cemetery/crematorium :)) perhaps you could include buildings like the hospital, medical university (if it's in CS2), offices, green spaces/parks/plazas, car parking, and a crematorium/cemetery?

[@GuizGaming10]

Hi Biffa, i've noticed your new medic clinic is only connected to the road by the fields area. Great video!

[@mantabloke8141]

You can use the new schools that you showed us last week with the new update that you can keep adding new buildings :)

[@spaceboyxyz]

22:00 im laughing so hard. In the beginning, they told us, oh with new cs2 you dont need to slam down millions of schools etc etc... and here we are again.... so many fails with the balancing still :(((

[@shaneintheuk2026]

So good to watch a CS2 video where you are solving issues that the game poses. You’ve managed to expand the population but that causes traffic and unemployment so next episode is already prompted. So good to watch.

I know its too late now but would be awesome to see a little stream running to a small pond in one of these suburb areas. If possible even, make small bridges to cross it under the cul-de-sac entry roads. Have it running along side the main road kind of.

As an American, who is used to seeing subdivions like Hawthorne, I'd encourage small parks around the place... Playgrounds, dog parks, pocket parks, etc. It's standard fare for us. Separate thing. You asked how many people were in that new district (said 2500), and pointed at households, which was 3600-ish. The a tual pop was the next line down - 5647 (or so)

[@YHY88]

14:07 In Spring Acres. You counted 3279, but that's households. The residents number are below, and they are 5646

[@stephenclark9917]

The Industry shuttle needs more stops on it to pick up workers on its route.

[@princesssofiyagm]

Your lack of commercial demand is probably due to the high residential taxes. If taxes are high then the residents won’t have money to spend at commercial lots.

You might save your stress levels if you place your paths prior to placing your zones. Just a thought...

[@Coffe_3_sweetners]

In the roundabouts it would make a huge difference go the look if you used the surface tool and painted a lighter green grass over the area. Would make it stand our the surrounding undeveloped areas and look like it's being attended to. Just an idea.

[@mysticalmaid]

The city looks very nice. The disasters in this version were quite timid but since 2.0 patches it's actually begun hitting my city instead of never coming near. I enjoy a disaster but I wish the firest fires weren't so frequent.

[@maxpont8989]

On the other hand it actually incentivizes you to do what most cities do and set up a deforested area around the main city to prevent this from happening

Loved the walking around at the beginning of the video. The end of the video did get a laugh out of me lol

[@pedranwessels6428]

For the new cul de sac development, maybe you can add a few roads to connect through to the apartments, then you can just add the gated community policy to prevent other people using it Love the videos

[@WhiskeyHunterVAT69]

Ty for the VOD. 🥃🥃

[@danielwarren7110]

fun video as always, however the new clinic that you put where the internet tower is, you connected it to a road that does not connect to the housing area, it connects into the farms, so people in houses can see it but they will have to drive miles to get to it and there is no ped access either. So i do not think it will solve the unreliable medical services issue

[@sgtscowl]

I'd like to know if you have attempted a vanilla start after the economy patch as I feel that starting a new vanilla build now is almost impossible, i've had 5 attempts and cant get past milestone 4 (should be a new achievement) with a positive bank balance and more than 20 (+/- 4) commercial buildings with a pop of 2500, even with tax on commercial -2% (cant even pay em to come). I think more focus has gone to people with existing cities and those starting fresh are gonna find it more difficult to get to a point where they can start enjoying the game rather than work out how to cheese the game at the beginning.

👍

[@Thromash]

I gave it ago & less than 5 min ago I closed the game due to the horrid traffic AI or whatever they use. 8 lane road, cars trying to turn right from the furthest left lane & vise versa. My brain just can't put up with it. Thanks for the content though, can enjoy your playthrough. All the new smaller buildings like medical centre, schools, police ect really do help with the economy & smaller cities though. Wasn't immediately in the red just because I gave the city health care & a school which is nice.

[@williamheath7058]

I feel they should change out the animation for smaller buildings being built to frame works rising out the ground slowly rather than cranes it just seems odd

[@olumidebashorun3242]

Biffs I’d recommend to use eu low density houses as they look better

You could probably fix the tax complaint by lowering the tax on the low rent/ low density so it is less than the other 2 housing taxes

[@rhyscolegate4576]

"for the kiddy winky's" is hilarious 🤣🤣

[@martinholden6214]

Some things thatbwould be nice to see CO or modders out there. 1. Proper cul de sac options 2. A small pedestrian path that is zoneable. 3. A tool to square off dead end roads/with sidewalk still. I was looking around my neighourhood and no where i can think of or see is there houses on an island. No where did i see a rounded dead end road! Lots of houses with no roads infront or behind them eg zonable pedestrian path, norm path size, then double that for city centres then the big one for large city centre.

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

1) they just did in the latest free update 2) 100% 3) Interesting :-)

[@martinholden6214]

@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines yes ill give you that. the new islands do help but with my numero 1 point they still don't look quite right to me. Don't worry I'm not going to review bomb the game over this jst some tlc touches I'd like to see in the future. Point 2 take york for an example lots of shops and houses on pedestrian areas. Out of the 3 I'd like 2 the most. 1 is kind of here now and could be expanded on thru mods. 3 is probably a mod. But 2 needs to come from CO really in base. More pedestrian options as like I sed bot all houses/shops etc are connected straight to a road. And the pedestrian path in game rn is ridiculous to big, other than for a large city center build. How cool would it be to eventually make a cobbled walk way for shops etc. Like an old town kept in a modern city. I'm almost certain they will address the paths maybe in a dlc.

[@EcardEcardian]

I wonder, can you build small blind alleys at the end of the roads because seems a bit exisive to have a full on roundabout at the end of the road in a small residential area.

[@ZalymBiscayn]

LOL Biffa's neighbors should be glad he doesn't have omniscient mayoral powers...they might find themselves *relocated* in favor of a 5G tower. :D

[@lucasfagundes3604]

What a lovely place 💞

[@mdhazeldine]

Those roundabout cul-de-sacs look interesting, but are a very inefficient use of land. So many gaps! CS2 could really do with a) proper cul de sac ends, and b) non-square zoning. Zoning around bends in the road is so wasteful of space compared to real life, where you'd have trapezoidal lots around a cul-de-sac. The other thing I'm confused by is why you made your paths go fully in between all the houses from main road to main road? It would be far more efficient to have the paths come off the end of the "roundabout" cul de sacs. You'd be able to make the paths a lot shorter and also make walking routes shorter, while not taking away space from the back gardens. IRL these are called modal filters. You basically create a grid for pedestrians, but not for cars.

[@benjaminmoore8623]

Great comment. - overriding the grid mechanics is certainly possible judging from the detailing patch. I wonder if this can extend to zoning at some point. - Modal filters... Very European. how about we get some proper lane / light controls first!!! 😊

[@BrysonTheTomato]

I think biffa likes that you can zone on roundabouts, not sure tho.

[@Kane233able]

With the new detailer patch can't you use the regular roundabouts to create cul-de-sacs now? Pretty sure that's a thing now.

Hey Biffa i have an idea, seen as tile upkeep cost can be seen as very 'expensive', why dont you do a video on how big a city can be within the 9 tile starting area, using mods could be fun adding layers, now being able to adjust heights of surfaces and networks.Just a quick short video (not series) idea. Been to a next door neighbours (of 30 years) funeral today so didnt catch it when you posted it.

[@SnyperMK2000JclL]

The fact that low density residential residents DO NOT PARK ON THEIR PROPERTY! like seriously they all have driveways and sometimes a garage, park at home not 600yards away down on the main residental artery road... WHAT?! Medium density should totally have a parking lot, these are like apartment buildings scattered here and there in the suburbs. Now High density i can understand not having parking as in a high density city everything is typically with in walking distance so cars arent as necessary and public transit can be relied upon more heavily... But seriously... WHY on earth do low density residents not park in their damn driveway!!! I live on a Court and most of the time everyone is parked in their driveway, sometimes a couple cars out front their house on the court... but never have any of us on the court parked on the side street the court is connected to. Well ok once when the city repoured 80% of the court. Oh i should also mention most courts over here actually dont have a centerpiece but instead just flat open concrete, fantastic for playing some sports and games for the kids. But seriously we do NOT park on the nearby side street nor the major road said side street is connected to... people park in their driveways and garages most of the time or outfront their house... So that being said, if the game had low density residents park on their property and/or out front. That alone would relieve a crapton of congestion and streets absolutely littered with cars thus resulting in people walking a mile+ to get home from where they can park...
