You Demanded I Add this One Thing to my City in Cities Skylines!

I feel like, if Biffa ever needed a break from Cities Skylines, he could build the heck out of a zoo in Planet Zoo.

[@Maddithe1]

I really appreciate the upload schedule of a video every other day. We spent the first many days of my 18 days-old son's life in the neonatal-unit and your videos were a good companion during the long nights in hospital. Finally back home, he still enjoys to sleep on my arm as I watch New Tealand develop. Keep up the good work!

You should do a Monorail bus hub and integrate it with a ferry. Or even add an underground train station. As for zoo name, TeaZoo? There's an ice tea brand TaZoo.

Definitely needs a direct ferry line from the fairgrounds to the zoo.

[@thomascastelein5476]

The Zoo has turned out great! You could make a ferry line going from the monorail station near the zoo to the transport hub at the opposite side. Possibly with a stop at the Island.

[@brookeroberts5056]

I wasn’t sure about the monorail when you first put it in but it fits perfectly now. Your decorating skills are impressive. Just one suggestion, you should add a quay along the side of zoo that has the sea life enclosure and around the front of the peninsula. Love your videos!

[@denimchicken6549]

4:57 Biffa, sir, you have outdone yourself. This segment has me cracking up! :D

[@duszhduszh]

For the zoo: Animalis Horteas (hortus meaning garden in latin) Plus: I remember in Teaport when you said that detailing wasn‘t something you‘re good at and look at this now. You certainly developed an eye or rather an instinct for what works without looking forced. This is shaping up to become a beautiful project. I can‘t wait to see how things will continue. You rock, Biffa!

[@kaptainkiwi]

Hey Biffa how about a Kiwi brand for your Zoo "Teawi(like Kiwi) Teawi Wildlife Park" sounds like a nice name for a Zoo keep up the awesome content

Biffa, this city is so awesome, it feel so alive. I love the panning shots showing the activity in the different portions of the city.

[@carlin6493]

you can name the sea life part ''TEA-Life''

[@cylisplaysgames]

I thought I would mention, when you have a monorail over a road and you build a traffic light, the lights will apply to the road and the monorail. Easiest fix is in TM:PE timed traffic lights and set the monorail traffic lights to always green for all steps. That stops your monorail stopping for traffic lights when it does not have to. That might speed up the monorail line between the zoo and the amusement park.

[@MatthiasRozema]

That alien rock flying into space earned you an instant like 😂 great series, Biffa!

[@dandiehm8414]

Well done Biffa on using so many DIFFERENT trees and plants! This city looks so much better because of it.

[@zweimeterzwerg1361]

I propose a German word for "zoo" - Tierpark. You can name it Tearpark.

[@MrX-nv8kp]

Good idea, to make it more unique, and as it can be seen from the whole park, maybe expand to Alien rock teapark?

[@ff-xu8sw]

Heya Biffa! 4:35 You don't need a full highway intersection if you just want to have some roads coming on/off. Glad you didn't hammer a huge intersection into that small area. ^ ^

I love that people can catch a little glimpse of the zoo through the trees from the monorail. A very exciting approach!

[@analogbunny]

This zoo sure has a lot of walking involved. Maybe "Toolong Zoo"?

[@paulcristiansarbu1040]

Awesome! Just one small thing that I spotted which I think needs fixing: the one-way loop road at the zoo entry should be anti-clockwise, as currently the traffic from the main road intersects itself when going in and out of the loop :D

[@gzyd]

Sydney's zoo is located on the shores of the harbour too, accessible by ferry, and it's called Taronga - so how about Tearonga Zoo?

RE: junction selection at 3:40 Looks like most of your junctions are system interchanges (highway - highway junctions) and you don't have many system interchanges (highway - street) which can be a bit more compact. If you're really looking to save space and don't mind being a bit less realistic to life, you could extend a lot of the sweeping curves, etc. elevated over the water/island area to save on prime real estate.

[@Robert0Pirie]

Good morning Biffa! What a beautiful day for a beautiful city!

[@lepre-convv6339]

I love these videos....please keep them coming. My only issue with this one is the plant life in the zoo itself. I love your tree and plant placement throughout the city....but most zoos and theme parks love to have bright and huge flower gardens with lots of colours....usually in a pattern if they can. So that would be the thing I would change is remove a lot of the trees and put gaudy flowers here and there to make it more like a typical fancy park.

Amazing progress! I'm loving your work in New Tealand ❤ Suggestion: now that you claimed that new bit of the island, you can run a shorter, more direct underwater tunnel from the prison island. It would connect to the new end, rather than adding more traffic where it is now

[@garetjax19]

Another great build Biffa. For the zoo name maybe 'The Rooibos Conservation Park'. Rooibos ( Red bush in English ) is a South African 'tea'. Also just thought that maybe the animals might not like the firework displays. Anyhoo enjoy your week, one and all. Peace :)

[@ChrisAinsleyMedia]

The zoo should be called Typhoo Zoo!

[@local9]

Given the rock formation also... rather fitting

[@hughesy606]

Lol, you were 8 hours ahead of me 😝

[@Shy_Hulud]

I really think this city could do with some realism additions and some things to flesh it out. City planner did similar in a video but I'd like to see it expanded upon. With it being a huge tourist /college city there is inevitably going to be some disparity between the living situations so I'd say you should find am area to do some lower income housing such as trailer parks and such like city planner did BUT you should also find a place to put a richer area with it themed with mansions and the like. Perhaps a gated mountain community of some sort? Do with that as you'd like obviously but it's just a thought :)

[@WipZedKay]

So it is confirmed. Some of the rocks are in fact, out of this world!

[@jbuver4eva]

Zoolong Animal Park would be a great tea themed name for the Zoo! Love your videos Biffa I’m always excited to see when you upload!

Can the Zoo be named “Tea Erwin Memorial Zoo”

[@Myne1001]

I don't get it

[@spyburn007]

I'd really like to see a decent beach build, nice parasols, line of bars and restaurants, a few hotels etc... Not a marina or jetski rental place but a swanky luxury resort vibe.

[@DVouts11]

Still waiting for that airport good sir. Another great island addition could be a golf course. That'd be fun 🤷‍♂️. As for the zoo...I have a few. 1) Tea World is a simple one...(for Sea World. I know they have a bad reputation, but your sea creatures aren't in an enclosure, they're free). 2) Matcha-Mammal Safari Park 3) The Zealand Zoo (Replacing the T with a Z because it's a zoo could work) 4) There's a type of tea in California called Numi Tea so Numi Nature Reserve could work as well... As always, love the content Biffa. Good day to you 🙌

[@frankrossdeutscher]

Definitely expand the zoo across the monroail to the other side, allowing for some gorgeous footpath bridges. Makes for an interesting vista and will not require reclaiming land from the sea. As for naming: Zoolong Tea Park, straight from Zoomatra. :D

[@Mcrjake17]

An-tea-ter zoo? (like anteater animal) . Or maybe Knows-Tea Safari park ( like knowsley in UK)

[@Symbioticism]

That looks like a crazy fun zoo to visit: would like to see you fill in close to the main gate! (maybe some souvenir shops and cafes?)

[@WuxianTec]

I think Zoolong Safari Park would be a good name for it. You could add paths around the outside and fill the rest with different plazas/parks/fountains once you've plopped all the enclosures down, I think that might look nice.

[@Harlz2807]

For the zoo, you should name it Teasney Animal Kingdom, based off of the Disney animal kingdom park in Orlando because you already have another teasney park, and it gives the island a theme of Florida...

[@CPowell133]

Could easily consider Rock-Tea Gardens given the rock park nearby. Or even a straight ripe off of Busch Gardens and call it Yorkshire Tea Gardens.

[@Deadalot1]

22:40 Apparently the animal did not want to be caught on video, and was trying to remain anony-moose.

Adding "thinnify" to the Official Biffa Dictionary. Love the zoo. Perhaps call it the Waldorf Astearia, after the Edinburgh Zoo theme that opened in April. Or Tearaffe Zoo?

[@MsEgwene]

Thank you for yet another nice episode 😊 I have one little suggestion. I think it's a bit of a waste of great views from the zoo to have the fence along the entire beach. It's not like people will walk in from that side anyway

[@RexMastersMusicOfficial]

Biffa double down on that entertainment section! Those Sandy strip islands next to the zoo should be a golf course too ^.^ Like you start on the zoo side, hop across the islands to the mainland part, switch sides, then hop back across islands back to near the zoo

[@kevinbrown739]

I've never had Oolong tea, but you could do Zoolong Tea Safari Park! Also, these rocks are getting creepy. They are like the alien pods that have been underground in War of the Worlds. The height of that rock asset is just so weird, but I'm loving how you embraced the peculiarity.

[@seanrackl2674]

This map has alot of great natural features. What might be exciting to see is if you can create a canal that flows over the railway and highway you've just changed. Looks like you can change the three rivers into 1 semi larger river but make it a man made canal that flows over the highway and railway. Lower the highway/railway below the water level and mabe use key walls to make it a man made canal?

[@Phineapoo]

Not a zoo name, but if you can name an elephant, name it Crumpet the Elephant. Then you can listen to Crumpet trumpet!

[@Arday60]

Yumbl did a tutorial video about a really cool intersection that is small, visually appealing and minimizes left turn clashes which he calls "single point urban interchange". It's also pretty simple to build so I think it could come in super handy for situations where you quickly need to bridge over a highway.

[@edwardbickford8277]

The zoo could be the Teasney World Animal Kingdom. The view of the alien rocks adds a nice visual focal point for the zoo. It kinda reminds me of the "Tree of Life" at Disney World.

You should add some of city park assets like the playground in the zoo to add some places for kids to play. Loving the videos, one of the best city skylines youtubers!

[@patrickchapman8583]

The zoo's parking lot road is set up like a round-about, but it's going clockwise, but shouldn't it be going counter-clockwise? As it stands, traffic leaving the parking loop has to cross traffic entering the traffic loop from the main road. The zoo itself is looking amazing. I love the idea of using spotlights on the floating alien rocks. Would be cool if you could have the alien rocks randomly blare out the 5-note sequence from Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

[@spartacus987]

12:00 don't forget to make a fan zone, so people can hang out for months waiting for a concert lol

The word menagerie refers to a zoo (Noun, a collection of wild animals kept in captivity for exhibition / a strange or diverse collection of people or things.) I suggest the MenagerTEA, or if someone has a better spelling/form for using menagerie, I think that would be nice too! Oolong Menagerie, based on some suggestions of Oolong because it's a lot of walking! lol Also the word for tea in a few different Asain languages is Cha. Cha Menagerie. Cha Zoo. maybe even Matcha Zoo? i'm not the most creative person, so I'm very interested in other people's renditions of my suggestions!

[@Tandreada]

Hey Biffa, you should add a SPUI to your city! They're a really efficient way to get on and off a highway, and they kinda work like parclos. They're also as space efficient as the over-highway bridge you usually use--but with more throughput because it uses only 1 intersection instead of 2!
