@Ecard Ecardian In Canada, Ikea is pronounced eye-key-ah lol Most Canucks are funny that way, lol. When a new word or brand has finally made its way to our country, we sound out the name if it is foreign, and forever after, that is how to say it roflol. So, your naming of the lemonade plant, as ITEA, would be eye-tee-ah roflol. makes perfect sense in Canadian English lol

I mean they are useful but I challenged a friend of mine to do a city vanilla ( he is a heavy mod user ) rather than lean on mods to fix bad planning. Turns out his vanilla city ran better because it was more effort to actually fix choices so he spent more time to make the choices work the first time. I will swear by the 25 city tile mod though, it don't change much beside giving you more space to have fun with.

Make the new area completely residential (plus required services). Don't connect to highway. Only connect via cable car. If they want to work or shop, they'll have to use it.

[@dlwatib]

One of the funnest challenges I've seen you do, Biffa. The terrain makes pretty much any building difficult, but you're up to it.

[@NethDugan]

Ooooo I did this on mine! I had a city with some logging built around a mountain which had a city park on top so I used cable cars as a loop around it . They touch on housing and work places around the inner ring of the city so get a lot of use. And yeah, the angle thing plus height and topography makes connecting it fuuuuun.

[@raistormrs]

Biffa shouldnt it be fine if u connect the lodges with a small long wiggly road down to the industry area ? using it to test out if people are really driving there, and u would also see if the new area connected to a slow small road would work without building it up further, no ?

[@TechieXP]

Biffa, when I build my city in a grid style, I have game down the with that is wide enough for a single road. I do this to put bike paths in my residential zones when I don't use roads with bike paths. If you did the same, you could put the wiring for your cable cars down that empty space and just put stops at the intersections or even in the middle of a zone without hurting building. So maybe I can explain. Draw a road on one side, and you get zones that is 4 lines of squares. Skip 2 squares and build your parallel road. That will give you a gap wife enough for a single lane road and you can out your cable down that path and your building will be on each side of it. I can email you screen shot of an example.

[@richardkannegiesser7322]

I re-activated the mods. No losing conditions were set off. Yay!!! 👍🙂🌞😎 So I'm able use Traffic Manager, Lane Marking Tool and Node Controller in order to ease traffic, especially along divided 4-lane streets that need more median openings for Pedestrians and U-turns, let alone adjusting speed limits (some basic divided streets are better are better off with a moderately higher speed limit such as 60 to 80 kilometers an hour) To implement "All-way Give-way" (, or as I call it... "ALL-WAY YIELD" with Traffic Manager - turn off Vanilla traffic lights, implement basic intersection priority with TMPE, then delete TMPE signs, and then as added option; Open lane marking tool and insert give-way lines on all entrances to the affected intersection. Cheers 👍🙂 Keep up the good gameplay, Biffa. 👍🙂🌞😎

I think if you made that new section all residential with no outside road access it will force them to use the cable cars. It also gets around the need of having an outside road because I believe only commercial and industrial require outside road connections.

[@stevieinselby]

With your new area of the city, you could connect it to the motorway but only give it sliproads facing _away_ from the rest of the city, so that people from out of town can drive to it but there's no direct road access from the residential areas. Where you put the ski lodge overlooking the recycling centre, don't forget to add a footpath through to the cable car station, it looks like people might have got quite a long walk round to get there at the moment.

What would be kinda nice is to have parks and monuments in clusters around the city but a little way off and then have the cable cars provide transport to those sections as a fast option that the roads that connect them for services.

[@gustavowilhelmnino3684]

Let it snow let it snow let it snow 🎶

[@s.scottstaten1852]

Some long, windy dirt roads could connect to the distant things (like ski lodges) to provide services but their speed is so low that the cable cars should be better for actually getting there. The same can be said for your new areas as you expand.

[@dtmsn014]

I think it might be safe to add a road to the double ski lodge (38:01). The point was to force people to use the cable cars. with the city ring now in place the few extra people that will drive down to the the two lodges will not be noticed. Having the garbage removed might encourage more people to visit them.

Biffa, be mindful of the median roads. Maybe the services are sometimes lacking because they're forced to take the long way home :) With the new area, I can't decide if I would want to see industrial or residential with a nice money-making park. Maybe both? Res on one side, com/ind on the other...with a park in between?

[@tylerm.9408]

I don't know if it's possible, but when building down in that valley near the logging you could make different height tiers with roads connecting up the slopes to save on digging all the way down to the starting depth.

[@JMWZ_E]

If you make the new area commercial/industrial you could remove that kind of zoning from the old area ... And you can interupt walking routes by using sections of national road without a sidewalk with the area. Excessive use of toll roads make your highway less attractive while paying for more additional cable cars.

[@Antti29]

That was certainly a great e-biffa-ny at the end there!

[@benjamin2629]

I wouldnt worry about too many full on separate areas, just build a city with the cable cars as the transport you will get the 500,000 just by making the city bigger and bigger, you need to get a high pop to unlock all the tiles anyway. Maybe even run one way zonable roads in the centre of an area (like a highway) with the cable cars running down the middle

[@PauxloE]

You should build some kind of university area somewhere, reachable best by cable car. That should solve the education problem, and also contributes to the cable car usage. Another thing: You could make public transport free, to get more people using it. (Though first have a look how much ticket sales you got.)
