You've Not Seen This Many System Interchanges & Bridges in Cities Skylines 2!

[@blethigg9320]

The single best improvement to road and rail building imo would be a "keep level" option. Sometimes you want the road or rail to define the landscape, not follow it.

[@michahogelo]

i hope they add that when they come around to making a zoning toggler

[@Crazyclay78YT]

i mean yeah that would be nice but tbh i just hit the up and down buttons and move it until i get + or - 0% or pretty close to it and you could just use the terrain tool

[@blethigg9320]

@@Crazyclay78YT You'll still get ripples up and down, especially if you draw a long distance in one go. And the terrain tool doesn't help if you want bridges or elevated sections.

[@j7572]

Oh man absolutely this. 💯

[@WatchmanEvan24]

Now that you mention that... that is the best feature they should add.

[@Thromash]

I have a weird fascination with the fact you can stack multiple roads on top of each other over & over & trains. Like a road sandwich with a rail on top lol Plus can do it underground as well to stack it even more. It's ridiculous & fantastic lol

[@TrevorD19]

That's a regular thing in the USA.

[@neilbuttery3981]

I think you should make the new city a tourist hotspot, make some beaches and call it Ibiffa.

Thanks and enjoy! :-)

[@trainformerd4134]

If u really like car centric city planning sometimes traffic can get out of hand even with roundabouts and faster taffic lights, sometimes the best thing is flyovers, slip roads or ramps that can be very good for very busy ring roads but then that won’t fix everything so public transport and pedestrian areas will encourage ppl to walk to places in ur city centres

[@MartinLaplace]

Did you check wind when you placed the incinerator plant? it pollutes a lot.

[@Stant123]

I've noticed that the parking lots generate more traffic than the minor income they provide. I've actually gone around to my cities and deleted them all and traffic immediately improved significantly. Could be a bug, but for now, I go without.

[@Red-Tower]

I've noticed that, and actually tried to actively take advantage of that/work around it. I can redirect traffic with them if I want to, or attract folks to other parts of the city. Another thing I've been doing is making one-way offshoot roads to put the parking lots on, so the traffic flow can move smoothly into and out of the parking zone.

[@hanzzel6086]

I hope it's not a bug, since it is pretty realistic.

[@caVemAn-eu]

Love the new train tracks and station! 🚂 The reason you can't create train stops on tracks #5-6 is most probably lack of platforms there. These are (visually, not functionally) cargo and shunting tracks.

[@sayandeepthrowaway]

Just look at the vehicles in use for both the trash facilities, its full. Maybe upgrade them with garages. Also since you have so much money, you can upgrade all the service buildings

[@mexieboy1]

25:43 incinerator plant 50 garbage trucks 40 Employees 🤯

[@ElwoodGaming]

It might be worth it to consider some hydroelectric powerplants going across those small rivers that the bridges span. If the correct height was used and a spillway was built that could be a MASSIVE power increase...and I would love to see that design and building process of a small scale project like that in Kettlebridge!🤗👍

[@Crazyclay78YT]

then everyone in medium/high density parks on the road and it looks like ass

[@AlexanderEO5]

You should really consider getting a highway between your new city to spencer croft to alleviate biffinton springs traffic especially for industrial reasons as the farms are in tealand downs.

[@ihmss007]

At 35:43 you could maybe add a train station between the highway and the track near your medical university. That way you have train access near all your big universities and it would be spaced out from your other stations.

[@jimhearsonwriter]

It amuses me that the so-called grand bridge is just the Hammersmith Bridge in West London... which has been closed to traffic for a few years as it's falling apart.

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

Oh no!

[@Regailion]

Currently only good for pedestrians and cyclists, would have been funny if the CS2 bridge matched that

[@jimhearsonwriter]

@@Regailion Gotta wait for a future DLC for that!

New area name? Biffalo Creek? Given that there's creeks around it? Some nice rail work there fella.

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

Thank you and I like the name!

[@111elf1]

the area is "the Kettle"

[@inyobill]

26:22: Could the high-tension line be connected under ground???

[@simongeard4824]

Regarding "do we count these as separate cities?" - yes, definitely. The different sections are very detached, and deserve their own names... they'll no doubt grow and merge in time, but for now, they're clearly separate towns. They probably have their own local councils, but share infrastructure under the banner of a common regional authority...

[@mgunter]

Maybe a pedestrian bridge across the rivers?

[@Eni6ma0.00]

Hi Biffa. Why don't you perhaps add some double-decker roads in the next build?

[@PontusAleryd]

I second this! Haven’t seen many tries of this yet, and would be great to see how Biffa will approach it 😃🙏🏽

[@Lovelylittlegabby]

Loving this series before I buy CS2 myself! When you started adding the train line I was so hoping you would add it between the highway lanes like in Perth, Australia. I did it in my city and I absolutely love seeing the trains amongst the cars

[@inyobill]

Oooooooo, nice idea. Greetings from literally half 'way round the world (Near Bonn, Germany). I guess you're an Aussie?

[@Crazyclay78YT]

tbh thats cool

[@Lovelylittlegabby]

⁠@@inyobillhello yes from Australia!! I’ve not seen anyone do it in a CS video. It’s quite easy because it fits nicely under the bridges in intersections and a simple loop bridge can take it into the city. So much fun!

[@Wispa9K]

For the name of the new area, I think naming it after the plant tea comes from (Camellia sinensis) could be quite nice if you wanna keep the tea theme up. Camellia sounds quite natural as a place name. Alternatively, as a native of the South Downs, if you want a name that complements Tealand Downs, I'd also suggest maybe riffing on Beachy Head with something silly like Leafy Head - it'd fit the geography. And then if you wanna go with something a bit goofier, you could try Brewhaven or Cuppaford (more South Downs references). Maybe stick "Delta" on the end of one of them to at least make it fitting with the geography of the shoreline and spiff up the sound of the name a bit.

[@TheZzuzy]

New Hugoslavia would be a tribute to your last cs1 city

[@jimkats1]

Teaton Cape would, combining the with the New Town :d

[@benjinorth8226]

Name the river in the new town to the River Teas, then you can call it Kettlebridge upon Teas

[@quique6676]

I love the midi sounding music vaguely reminiscent of SimCity 2000

[@SiqueScarface]

Let's call the new peninsular town "Leafing"!

[@justinv.l5900]

Great video again as always, the grand bridge fits really nice in your city. But maybe if you improve your transportation in your city, with the busses and other transportation methods, the people would rather choose that to go around your city then by car. So maybe a idea for the next video to work on?

[@slimmachin]

At the wonky intersection end of Grand bridge you could have the pedestrian walk under the bridge instead of using a crossing

[@roybmanofmerlin]

There are a lot of junctions around the new area, 7 to be precise, so how about naming it 'Seven Ways City'

[@GalacticGamingYT13]

I just realised that the Grand Bridge is Hammersmith Bridge in London which is a very amazing bridge so I can see why it was picked! Amazing vid as always!

[@chefbigdog4132]

it can't be hammersmith bridge, it's actually open!

I fully expect so. I'm hoping for more traffic controls options (Hugo there, etc.) when we get hard mode. Also precision engineering, ...

[@dalynpearson728]

At 21:06, when trying to connect these two sections together, it is better to use the road tool directly to the right of the "straight road" tool. You can get them at 180 degrees on both ends easily.

[@alank3174]

[@ericambros]

8:07 I do this all the time in CS but I have to say: We have a road that dips down like this in my city that every time it rains a lot it creates a nice lake for everyone to drive through.

[@antonallen8972]

Love it, love it, love it! 2 suggestions: 1) I just got back from Japan and tried a new tea (to me) there called “Hōjicha”, which is roasted green tea. Had a phenomenal flavor! My suggestion for the name would be Hōjicha-machi, which means “Hojichaville” basically. 2) Build some more highways sometimes. Don’t completely sacrifice public transport and walkability for this (that’s the mistakes the Americans have made when building their cities 70 years ago), but do take a book from Houston’s book on interchanges and highways. We have a city the size of Wales, yet somehow using our many interstate highways it takes MAXIMUM an hour (no more) to get around town. That could probably alleviate a lot of traffic. There’s also tons of parking spaces built all over the place, most of which (unless you go downtown) are free.

[@inyobill]

Rebuilding is sooooo slow and expensive!

[@c.morland]

Love the train line going over the two roads

Suggestion you should create one big train line that goes across all train stations and all outside connections

Loved the bit where you built that railway line, that looks just amazing.. you need to do a in-situ follow along that for an intro. If it's not too late for suggestions, have you done "Tea Junction" before? Or maybe "Stir-ling"?!

[@mastercko]

The new bridge you added in the north west of your map (the suspension bridge that is currently going nowhere) is one-way.

The grand bridge didn't go in straight because of the zoning paths you left. Also I do feel like some bridges look better taller. You'd never have a suspension bridge that low. You need at least 30m for boats to realistically fit.

Not sure if CS II has the option for single rail tracks yet, but they would be very useful for train junctions. Having trains cross at-grade in front of each other, especially in the opposite directions, causes delays; similar logic to highway junction separation.

[@inyobill]

Single rail (two-way and one-way) are available.
