➤Cities Skylines Industries:
In one of the most in-depth expansions in Cities: Skylines history, Industry becomes a larger and more meaningful part of the game with this expansion. Players can customize their industrial areas with supply chains for the four different resource types and unique factories. Well managed industry areas will level up and become more efficient. Aside from production chains, there is a new city service for handling mail and the cargo airport eases import and export of factory goods. There are FIVE new maps, new policies, new city services, new buildings (including resource extractors, manufacturers, warehouses and unique factories) and more.
Key Features:
- MAKE IT HAPPEN
Follow your products from harvesting to processing, storage and production, then transport them to commercial zones or export to other cities.
- CAPTAIN YOUR OWN INDUSTRIES
Define an area with the industry area tool and place highly specialized industrial buildings to build and manage the production chain from raw material extraction up to final end product. Industry Areas are divided into four types based on the natural resource they are processing: Farming, Forest, Ore and Oil. These areas can level up upon reaching productions goals and staffing requirements.
- BUILD IT UP, BUTTERCUP
New industrial buildings include Extractors, Warehouse Facilities, Processing and Auxiliary Buildings, Industrial Props and Roads. Unique Factories, such as Food, Toy, Furniture, Car and Electronics produce luxury products, and require a large number of workers, water and electricity as well as input from your industries.
- GO POSTAL
Boost your citizens’ well-being with mail delivery and collection services. Post sorting facilities handle mail between outside connections and the post offices, and new Post Van and Truck vehicles enable the carriage.

[@jam_herobrine1642]

For clover leaf juctions I recommend maybe using the node in the middle to put the outside as a passing lane, the middle lane can only move into the lane to go onto the other highway and the inner lane can either go straight on or move to the centre lane. This way people who want to go past can, people who need to switch can and anyone who needs to turn around using the juction also can, might help to reduce the sideways lane changes.

[@Transit_Biker]

That highway setup reminds me of I676 in philadelphia, and a bit also of I95 through philadelphia. The layout is not really meant to deal with high volumes of traffic, however in low volume traffic it works pretty well. There's no room to add lanes or anything really!

[@ehsn]

That big elevated roundabout with dedicated straight roads on the four directions was just creating soooo much weaving. There was space to do dedicated right turns without entering the roundabout, and that would have alleviated it already. The next step to reduce weaving on it would require, now that its function is just to enable left turns (and some 180°), to unweave the entrances and exits, so cars exit the junction not getting in way of the cars entering it, as could be by placing the entrance ramps on the inside. By that point, it's not a roundabout anymore but a turbine-like interchange, but traffic would flow so much better if the lanes are managed with TM:PE to avoid horky borky lane switching on it. Good job removing the tiny roundabout at the city entrance, dumbell interchanges are great but not under so heavy loads. Also good job creating more connections, I'd say the main problem of the city traffic was the funneling of everyone onto the main highways and maybe also 0 pedestrian movility between sections cut by the highway or/and the river (at least without using the metro?).

Need help/ Resently started playing with the change arrows on the road. But after placing a road. changed the arrows. Then fixed a road connecting to the first road. (first road ends on the second road making it to a T) realized i need to change the arrows on the first road again. But now It won't let me change the arrows on the first road. Is it a bug or something to do with the second road? (also cars randomly stops in the middle of roundabouts and blocks the entrance/main road to the city. Ending with cars wont even try entering the city at all)

[@ZombieATAT]

I've been trying a new vanilla technique, thought I'd share it as it seems effective. Sometimes my cargo terminals can have trouble with everyone diving into the lane that services it. I've started making a tiny, dead end, slip road immediately after the terminal's entry/exit. The game moves people approaching it out 2 lanes. The cargo transport moves out 1 lane. They avoid each other and sensibly, filter back into lanes later. I add the tiniest dead end (2 way) to the fake slip road so it doesn't show the annoying "not connected" icon. You can relocate cloverleaf outer slip roads to the next node outwards (all 8 nodes or just ones effected). You can then decrease the angle on any connection, including the inner ones and even add seperation. Smooth connections are pretty important in vanilla. Obviously it won't fix traffic not having enough choice.

[@kennashey]

[@bindulanija]

Hey Biffa, you got me hooked to this, I haven't been playing much last couple of years due to parenting stuff and now finally have some time for myself. I got myself reminded of SimCity 2K first then went on to see where is SimCity now, and found out that there is a whole "new" game world that I didn't know about, although I am familiar with Paradox dense games since I enjoyed back in the days CK2 a lot. Anyways, I binged a lot (most) of your content in the past week and I want to buy it through your affiliate links, but I want to ask you if it is easy to connect it to a steam account?

[@poelmeister]

That vanilla four way junction has always had a silly node in the elevated middle part. I try to delete it whenever I can and replace it with a turbine asap. Another thing is that I think a highway should never deliver traffic to the edge of a busy neighborhood; I try to deliver it deep in, and use long trajectory slow side roads for on and off traffic. So basically one way-highway-highway-one way next to each other, and the neighborhood connects to the one-ways. I have to credit ImperialJedi for that trick, it has helped me massively.

[@Zyo117]

In practice that's somewhat like a collector-express highway. The 'collectors' connect to the outside, have all the exits on them, then the 'express' lanes just go straight on through with maybe a connection to the collectors every few exits. (see Ontario's Highway 401, which is up to 18 lanes in places).

[@poelmeister]

Zyo117 it’s cool you say that as I’m sure Jedi is Canadian. Maybe it’s something he just knows from real life. European traffic systems seem to have everything running on the roundabout so in general we tend to see that as a valid solution to everything. Funny if you think about it. :)

[@Oroberus]

It's funny how close CSLs traffic issues and solutions are to reality. I got a motorway departure in my city which does exactly what you did in the beginning: Inner city highway with 3 lanes, 1 single lane splits away and before it connects into a junction, the one road is widened and that 1 lane diverts into 3 lanes, one for each direction. I'ts one of the busiest junctions in my city, as it is pretty much the crossing of the main N/S and main E/W roads and in close to 20 years driving myself, I've never seen a traffic jam there which wasn't caused by an accident or something like that In general, it seems like the more options you give to a driver in terms of viable lanes, the more clogged up your roads will be (best example are 2 lane roads with combined straight and right lane and another seperate straight lane. You'll find thousands of people on a daily base taking the straight+right lane while they want to go straight but needing to stop for a traffic light f.e. so this one useless scumbag of clueless moron [sorry] that takes the straight+right lane for going straight, prevents 20 cars behind him to just go right and not having to wait for the traffic light).

[@cwaldrip]

Biffa... how do you feel about limiting turns across traffic (ex. left hand turn on right hand roads)? I’ve a compact, built up, area with a number of roundabouts. I’m trying to ban cross traffic turns trying to force them further down to roundabouts...

Horky borky set up of road this fellow😂

[@teriyaki_solo6970]

this is the most satisfying video i have ever watched

[@hellsop]

That sticky "how do I speed up getting around the corner of the roundabout?" question only ever gets a happy answer with a separate slip road that sneaks right alongside the roundabout. Vehicles that desperately want an inner lane on the exit road (to turn across lanes at the next junction for example) can be forced to take the roundabout if there's not really enough room to change lanes before the next cross junction, but the slip road joining the exit road in a mathematically-protected lane means that it, at least, is smooth and there's almost always room for at least one lane switch to get out of an outer, turn-only lane ahead. (At least, if you're not so cramped that you need to fix that part anyway.) I've tried *so many* other options, but it's the only one that works reliably regardless of whether the main load of traffic is coming along with the approach the slip road is adding from or from further back on the roundabout. And sometimes where that load comes from will change for reasons, so getting the "just one spoke along" traffic completely off if it wants is really the only answer.

[@flashesbuck]

I have only been watching your videos, and playing the game for about a month now and these tips help. I had no idea what some of those buttons do.

[@pfeilspitze]

Know the name? I was looking for it the other day...

[@cvillalpando]

You know Biffa is getting desperate when he starts breaking his own lane mathematics

[@wombat4191]

Turbine is quite a beautiful junction. I bet those people turning back just never wanted to leave because it's like riding a rollercoaster :D

1:45 Having two lanes there can help a lot if there are large quantities of traffic, it sometimes wont work in Cities:Skylines but they are using two lanes here so it will help.

@13:40 it's an eMERGEncy!

Before/after cinematic is cool to see

"Hugo there" is fine and all, but there is something special about, "We are getting there, we are getting there" 😂😂😂

[@sham69ohio]

What is the camera mod you used at the beginning of this video, please? Does anybody know or have a workshop link they can share? Thanks..

[@SuperPhete]

so satisfieing to see the traffic getting being unplugged like at 19:10. alays really like to see the video's about fixing traffic

[@shawnbybee85]

Biffa, at 25:31 you had to say quite as much because there was some wonky bonky lane switching still happening. When it comes to the on-ramps, I think you have it 100% because it can cause problems easy, so you have put thought into it, but a big tip for double off ramps is upgrading half the road by using your lane mathematics. Fix 1, the one I use) 4 roads with 1 off is 3, and then oh no, another off ramp, the road needs to jump back up to 4. This allows the cars going off to merge right into a new lane and mess with no one. The way you did it, you saw the bonky lane changes at 25:12 and then decided to move the road back to give them more room but at 25:31 you can see they are still doing it. The cars in the middle want to turn into the second turning only lane and are trying to merge in at the first node, just like the cars in the right lane that you made go straight at the last off-ramp that does not want to be in the turning only lane are trying to merge out at the first node. The road in between the off-ramps should be upgraded halfway to create a new turning only lane Fix 2) As you know, lane mathematics is better than using lane connectors but that is the other way. The game wants to make the 2 lanes merge at the same node, so help it out. At the first off ramp, from my experience, it's better to "allow" (meaning can go straight and merge) the busier road to merge first and keep the other 2 lanes going straight, then make what "was" the busiest road go straight and allow what is now the busiest road to merge the other way. I really do hope you see this stuff I write as help and not me as some know it all who like to correct people. I have defended you before explaining to people how when you stream, you are focused on so much that you can't possibly see everything without it taking hours (would love that :) so this is just a guy who figures he can help the guy who got him into the game, so things he may not see can be learned in 2-3 minutes of reading.

[@perahoky]

does this manual lane connection mode (with ne colored lines) cost any performance hit ?

[@EpicDrake]

*4:57**, you can* also fix that issue with the lane management. Then click off again & it will only turn only. Cheers from *United States*

[@RandomGuyOnYoutube601]

Finaly a decent traffic fix.

[@timothydeane8139]

"That was the end of my cuppa tea! what is going to happen?!?" uh. not have any more to drink till you refill to have more? (LOL)

[@WarhammerWings]

Hey, Biffa, just wanted to say that I am a fellow tea drinker! I named a city on my Xbox version of CS Sipatea City in honour of you. Hm, now I have to grab a #SipaTea...

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

Nice :-)

[@beforecuddlybunnylps841]

Do you have shipping to Anti-tea land? (USA)

[@naerbo19]

Great video! I see that Biffa's comment section are some of the most positive I have seen. One thing. The later fix videos seems a bit rushed at the end, or is it just me?

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

Read the pinned comment in the last one 👍

[@naerbo19]
