I think I can speak for the entire console city skylines players community that I'm loving you struggle with all the vanilla issues that we've been having to deal with FOREVER! Love your vids man 😁
Facts!
You're welcome :-)
Yes
Linking your steam account is pointless unless we get mods
I hope he continues this, i play on ps4 since my laptop cant really handle the game, i like his little tricks like building a t road crossing then building a roundabout around it to get a perfect shape, this knowledge will come in handy.
@@starchyhippo845
Why don't we have mods yet?
Or the sad excuse that are called "mods" on console
Biffa would be a ruthless mayor/city planner, he would be like: ‘no don’t put that road there, it will destroy the rock and then he will suggest a path which involves bulldozing 40 houses!
don't forget if you're a fireman and you go out to put out fires and everytime you come back your workplace has moved
Once again watching from New Zealand. Loving the frequent uploads of both maps, perfect for listening to your voice to go to sleep
Glad you enjoy it!
while Auckland is still in lockdown...
I thought I was the only one who had biffa on a sleep play list 🙃
@@williamhuang8309 laughs in perth*
I think there's a bug in the game where houses don't upgrade. If you then load the map, the memory starts fresh and all the eligible houses upgrade in bulk. I've noticed it many times
This really proves how conducive to gameplay mods like road anarchy, traffic manager, move it, node-controller and so on, are. The game becomes so much more interesting with the possibilites allowed by that mod.
sim city 5 ceased to exist by not supporting mods and play offline… this beautiful game came out!!
@Aubrey Legendre Your comment is a jewel.
The weirdness at the roundabout is due to the 1-lane slips being highway and therefore much faster than the ordinary road used for the roundabout.
Oh, and welcome to the console mantra: "grade before build" ;o)
:-)
Also, use dirt tracks for road layout planning before finalising the build!
@@jaydizzay there's also a mod that lets you lay out paper streets, i.e., roads not built yet.
Just a bit of a suggestion for future planning. You've built an elevated rail line parallel to a collector road. If you dropped the rail line to ground level you could put in a freight station with excellent access to a collector road and a new industry area.
The area around the train looks like Chicago in the winter with its L train metro so call it Teacago. If you add a cargo train terminal near the forestry area or a new industrial area then you can call that Teacargo. :)
How about CHAIcago?
I so enjoy this vanilla series, don't judge me but I was almost laughing when I saw you struggle on that junction :-D I was like "No Biffa, no anarchy, is it tough ah?" ahahah but joke aside, it's great to me see an expert in CS playing in vanilla, I make junction by myself but I usually use tunnels or ramps but sometimes they tend to be a little messy even if many times they work even better than the in game junctions, I will try your approach by lowering the terrain in the middle of the junction, very hard and long stuff to do but I find it very useful! Thanks for these tips.
i was thinking exactly the same, like " huhuh Biffa, now what, it is not that easy on ps4 as you make it look like on pc "
Whilst I am really enjoying this series, you have completely convinced me to keep on using mods!
😂
The largest base and research station in Antarctica is called McMurdo. You could call it McMurdo UniversiTEA. Then maybe have it as a sports university. You never see anyone use all the varsity sports arenas in one campus.
Vanilla feels like a diffrent game at this point tbh
I've only played vanilla...
Though I haven't played it much, I tend to not know how to continue after reaching about 5k population. 😅
@@PerfectAlibi1 my *PURE* vanilla city have 130K population 😎
i moved from vanilla to modded thans to biffa a couple years ago. now i can't even start a city without traffic manager, movit anarchy, atubulldoze, autoempty and vanilla++ roads. for me this is the base game now, i like calling it vanilla+ as style (or lightly modded
Watching the struggle of vanilla road construction makes me thank the maker(s) for Move-It, Anarchy, and Traffic Manager.
What a prime example of why the anarchy mods are such game (and time) savers...
More like: what a prime example of why we play on PC.
Loving this series. I don't use many mods and this is really helping me become a better player. 👍
Glad you enjoy it!
On console you learn you need to just shove random on and off ramps for highways to fix intersections
gotta say, I love that you and City Planner Plays seem to be chatting or watching each others' videos, been neat hearing each of your vocabularies change a bit to incorporate things the other says... I officially YT ship y'all ;) lol
Loving the Vanilla videos! I kept struggling on heavily modded maps and couldn't figure out why. After watching this I finally had my first successful city- fully vanilla! Thanks so much for all the great tips and information :D
For the train line going through the city, it would have been easier to bring the line underneath. It is a common IRL and among players without anarchy. Same goes for the highway issue in the begining.
I think he just likes the challenge, honestly.
It depends on whether you would like to see your trains :-)
@@skayt35 that's why I avoid using tunnel except for my metro, because I spent more time staring than actually playing the game xD
At some point, the developers who make this game should just give you an office! ;-) Love the content!
:-)
He certainly should be a consultant at the very least. He understands the game mechanics very well at this point. I'd totally buy a "Biffa Edition" should there ever be a Cities Skylines 2.
@@Valthalin I'd buy the official Biffa edition without batting an eye. mmmm Biffa swag merch.... mmmmm I'm so down.
edit: It even sounds cool, The Official Biffa edition
"Don't worry guys! I'm a man with a plan!"
everyone: "ok dutch"
Just in time to watch during my lunch!
Nothing's better than coming home from a 9 hour shift at work, getting comfy, and relaxing to biffa's new video. :) Always cheers me up at the end of a long day
Forgot if you had already done this or not; check and see if the smoke detector police is on. Noticing more fires in the city than should be I think.
I think you was planing on upgrading the “newer” aria, where the train line now runs through, to high density when it came available. With the train line there now it might not be a bad idea to go ahead with it. Or try to feather some in around the train line to embed in to the city.
Great video as alway!
It's crazy how even having 1 mod can change how you play a game.. it affects how your city flows. Awesome video dude!
I love it how you now see how we, ps4 players have to cope with all those issues. But you manage fine, you have way more patience than me, i just leave it hocky bocky sometimes
20:15 time-lapse because he couldn't stop swearing irl 😂😂😂
:P
@@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines *MOD/ASSET/THINGYMBOBBY ALARM* BIFFA AT 23:19 IS THAT A YORKSHIRE TEA VAN I SEE. TUT TUT TUT
I have been enjoying this series because it's a chance to see a prolific builder actually struggling without mods and now you go and make me feel bad for enjoying your suffering by saying you have a new found respect for us console/vanilla players lol
I would be thrilled to see Biffa's realistic city building videos one day. It would be new way to approach a city building. There would be a lot of planning, realistic population and Biffa getting mad on how to approach them. Love to see that one day ❤️
I honestly don't think he would enjoy playing it realistically.
Have you seen his recent post about book reading?
I would have put the snow dump on the island with the prison. Who cares if the prisoners don't like the noise, they won't be moving out of the city anytime soon.
I would love to see a trade school for the city. So many different options for expansion with jobs.
No better finish than with a fire! 😂
That’ll warm them up.
Give a man a fire and he’ll be warm for a day. Light a man on fire and he’ll be warm for the rest of his life.
@@M33f3r 🔥🔥🔥😲😲😲😆😂🤣
The episode I've been waiting for. How to tackle vanilla traffic. I've only watched all of them. :)
Big traffick help I've found for consol, is to use bus routes to find any spots that forces cars to take ridiculous routs to turn around. Seriously, the car ai is the same as the bus route logic, so if your bus line needs to go to the highway to turn around, you need little u turn roads so traffic can turn around. Either a roundabout at each end of industry roads or just little u turn spots (like minimum length roads off the main streets or at the beginning of industry roads.)
Grids and only having connecting roads is like death to traffic ai.
14:16 That roundabout at the 'north-west' of the city is both horky and also borky, setting the priority road put a stop sign *on* the roundabout (where the truck stops at 14:16) and it also has one less lane between the off- and on- connections of the priority road, which I suppose makes sense in lane mathematics but I don't think it's your preferred way of doing roundabouts. I like how the train line ended up through the middle of the city, I live in Manchester and it reminds me a lot of Oxford Road station, which is elevated like that and had a cinema right next-door until a few years ago when the Cornerhouse closed.
“You carry on being stupid” is my new favorite Bifa quote for vanilla gameplay 😂
Biffa, couldn't help but notice when you were landscaping around the elevated tracks and station that you had non-vanilla trees, and you placed some of them.
Love the series. Keep it up!
They came with the map 👍
@@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines ahh...makes more sense. Has it been tough switching between vanilla and heavily molded like New Tealand?
It has, but I'm enjoying the challenge 👍
It is rather amusing watching you play without mods, having the same struggles with the game that I do, but you do have more of the dlc and have access to some features I thought were mods when watching previous videos.
Biffa, I’m loving your new pacing for videos. Your channel always makes me happy and relaxed!
I've been playing vanilla on console for a year now. Some tips and tricks (
T junctions are the biggest you can have, otherwise it's chaos, especially on Collector roads. Other junctions are ok in smaller suburban areas.
Make sure you have multiple exits and entries that connect to Collector roads, otherwise - CHAOS.
Roundabouts - no stop signs, you're doing more damage than good, especially as there is no give way. With stop - they stop even when there is no one on the road. Also, my smaller roundabouts tend to have 4 lane highway roads, ad it just makes the traffic flow better.
I'm glad you're doing this, getting used to mods is so easy, console is a b*tch. Let's not get into terraforming....
I love seeing the way Biffa struggles with vanilla road construction, this because I suffer the same. ;)
Hey biffa loving this series. With the paths not being able to overlap the road, if you place with regular unpaved/gravel path first, you can then upgrade to park path no problem 👍
Love the nearly 1 hour episode, starting to love the way the city has developed, keep up with the good work 👍
Whoaaaaa! Almost an hour! Absolutely love it. Keep up the good work Biffa!
Almost a full hour of Biffa?! God bless 🙌🏻
This is a great start for my weekend.
The vanilla traffic AI appears to not want to block the junction. You had the issue with the junctions being too close together because one vehicle was able to fit in the space between them so the others were stopping to keep junction clear.
The strungling playting without mods... so funny!
seriously impressive road game you've got here even without all the mods 😳👌 i'm jealous!
@16:50 - I'm sitting here thinking, you autosaved right before this moment with the roads under the highway. Seems like a perfect chance to undo the roads deletion!
I had a good laugh seeing you struggle without mods, but you did good!
I'm playing Cities Skylines on PS4 and (modded) on PC.
I know you don't like tunnels but 16:50 is exactly why you should use them on occasion especially in vanilla.
Amazing to watch your video on my break
Keep them coming Biffa. Loving both cities.
Glad you like them!
Hey Biffa. In vanilla game you can as well use the 'page up' 'page down' on your road to bridge over or down in tunnel. Its not as easy to ajust but better to try going strait.
I play on vanilla on console and those cars that are stopping around 11:45 is because the next piece of road is too short. Effectively the next car can’t move up because there isn’t enough room on that piece of road until the first car has left that road and that car would not enter the node. Hopefully that clears it up!
Yep, nodes too close together :-)
@@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines Intersections, not just any node. It's even a real-life traffic rule or code so that gridlock wouldn't happen. This is why that annoying "Crossroads and traffic" pop-up dialog keeps nagging you in situations like this when you have them turned on, lol
They start and stop like that when 2 junctions are close togeather like you were saying. Its because vanilla game dont allow cars to block junctions so its only space for one car between those 2 junctions. Same thing with those highway -> roundabout.
Get in.. just browsing for something to watch on my break and Biffa notification comes up!!!
Hey Biffa! For the snow dumps as for the garbage ones I think you should not put them all in the same place but spread them around your city because I think the trucks did not run too far away from their home. So maybe try one snow dump and one garbage dump at the oposite side so trucks could meet in the middle and then cover all of your city.
With the cemetery and the Plaza to the Dead next to the cinema, maybe it will be showing "The AmiTEAville Horror"; A film where a man called Biffa ran with a hatchet through a housing estate, living a trail of soggy tea bags behind.😱💀
Have you considered imKibitz's technique for eliminating train conflicts? It's like a chicken foot with a hammer toe. It works in vanilla. Instead the usual Y intersection, a one way elavated flyover removes route conflict. Internal, out of city, passenger and freight trains can all run on the same tracks. No need for freight transfer hubs. (Stations should still be off the main track, but reached from these same flyovers to/from the more distant track.)
The university would be great in between the rivers at the east, or at the base of the mountain in the north. Love your videos!
Trade School seems it would fit better with the snow theme and of course there is a fire in a Biffa city
*sees struggles with the Trainline*
TUNNELS ARE MADE FOR THIS!
Definitely go with the Trade School Campus! Feels like it would fit in well with the rugged climate.
Local man misses tools he's used to, builds roller coaster, drinks tea
Love watching your videos. Wish I had time to keep playing, but with work, the little man and partner and BJJ I just don't have the time.
I wish they did a map that has all the seasons that brings in every thing like heating and cooling and sun and snow. That would be very difficult indeed, but also rewarding I think.
My question is though will we see an ultimate evolved Biffa in the next series? One that implements both mods and vanilla?
Loving this series. Makes me feel at home. Having only had ps4 to play this on. Now have it on pc. But no dlc 🤦♂️
If you set stop thingy at a junction it means it will stop, not give priority to other roads, no matter how much traffic is there, they’ll always stop, like the signs says, unfortunately there is not a (vanilla) sign that says: give way. Only for stopping. 12:00
The massive upgrading was caused by the citizens being happy to hear your voice 😉
😁
Man, I feel like this no-mod series is getting the best of you. You tunneled so hard on "keeping the rail-line the same height", instead of lowering it under the already elevated highway; and you literally lowered the rail-line right after getting it across the highway, of course, because the next segment is on ground level already.
And the way your rail-line plows right through the area is making you lose a lot of 'interest', in the sense that your zoning got messed up badly. Looks nice, but I think some minor adjustments can make you save some zoning.
bridge over the railroad going to ground level (basically is anyways, just in bridge format) would give you better access in between the river and the railroad, and likely another connection into your farming industry that you have across the river, which you could expand
I love all these vids!! I know it's a pain for you to edit, but I am VERY grateful! Keep up the great work! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
If Biffa had left space room for the future possible railway track already from the beginning he would not have had to demolish and move around all the important buildings like now!
Thanks for your build up style change.
Love the videos Biffa. I am one of those who just found the game too fiddly but love watching you play. Trade school has my vote.
Hey Bif! It ain't the problem of nodes being to close too eachother. They are stopping for a junction. With TMPE you would have said "don't stop, enter the junction" with the junction restrictions tool. Cars are not allowed to stop at a junction node, so when the space between the next junction is full, they won't enter the junction
Loving it. Thanks for the upload Biffa. Have your trophy arrived yet?
Yes! I need to take a pic soon :-)
Love how the train station turned out
Since New Tealand has liberal arts, maybe this city could have a different one? Also lol, I know you don't like tunnels, but lordy that was a lot of time spent on trying to avoid them! The train/highway was a little silly. The highway was already elevated and the train tracks were going to be lowered to the ground anyway on the other side! Although it is entertaining to watch :D (for other players who might want to try vanilla gameplay I recommend t4rget who does beautiful things with roads using no mods too, and also uses the landscaping sloping tool in great ways)
This Trainline right through the City remembers me like Lyon (France) were a Railroadtrain actually really goes right throught the Subburbs of the City in the Distance the Old Center of the renaissance Part of the City.
Lmao Biffa you are messing about heaps today. Just love it
The Problem with the cars stoppin so weirdly on some crossings is that they wait until the segment on the other side of the crossing is free. And when this is a very short segment - a.e. when two crossings are very close - they will wait rather long. And why didn't you just move the end loop of the tram to the deopt and make the rails come onto the road from both sides?
The tree blend in with the snow :D
I think you could curve the train rail coming out of the city and into the existing line coming under the bridge with a gentle grade. Little effort and cost.
I think a Trade school would be great right there.
Biffa, if you had a dirt road have way along a short asymmetric road it will add a node in and you can change the dedicated turning lanes that way
Also, if you want rid of a graveyard, use demolish building in natural disaster section, then you can demolish when flattened
I know you hate to put anything underground, but those trail lines were absolutely the perfect example of something that needed to be below grade.
Please put that train line underneath the highway instead of overtop. It has to drop anyways. So it would be better to drop before and leave the highway flat. You could even put a road under the highway next to the train track 🚂
I was hoping you would have done hokery pokery and integrated the train station into the triangle are where the trams meet and made a nice little transport hub there.
"ping ping pa ping" just gave me some endorphins
I'd like to see one of each of the campuses. Also use some of the vanilla university buildings as well.
The highways (including the ramps) kinda want to be bendy (or rather continue the flow of the road - in a sense). So there are cases might be easier to first build the construction like at 14:50 with say gravel roads and then upgrade those to ramps, especially if you can not for one reason or another use mods like move it.
Ah yes the finagling with Vanilla road/placement restrictions... Took what, 15min? (and that's edited footage) to get things right. Can't say I miss that.
Love the overhead train station tho, it was either that or using underground railroad tracks (our central station in Montréal has railways passing under buildings, which is fitting since it's literally downtown).
I would start planning the area you want for your "Tearantula metro hub", so it's already centered in a nice spot downtown... I dare say take out the cemetary (put more crematoriums) and try to fit it just beside that train station. With more high density in the area in the future, it would be a perfect spot (tho you might need to put offices around the hub like you're doing now). The hub gives you 6 connexions, and tthe way your town is growing, you're gonna need them. Plus you can phase the tram out (should you want to) as well.
Loving this town. And I must say it's starting to get me itching for another new snow town of my own... Bah gonna have to wait until I get tired of Diablo II which is coming out next week.
I think for a cold region it would make sense to have a University that specializes in nature, such as in the University of Svalbard or Alaska, so maybe a Uni that has a science building would make more sense than one with arts.
In case you haven't noticed (Overcharged Egg doesn't seem to have either): Paths appear to connect with Crossings, when existent.
Heya Biffa! Seeing you having to play without Move-it! Or Anarchy drives me crazy. How can you stay so positive?! ^ ^
Would love a Trade School Campus in Antarcteaca
51:00 - I think for this community the trade school backing onto where the forestry workers barracks could be interesting. Somewhere for them to do work experience and get a job after leaving university.
Great episode, nice snowy weather and a cozy 🔥 to go with it at the end. You make cpp proud :)
Thanks! 😊
Just started the video and watched Biffa not being able to see anything because of the snow. Thought to myself: "Why isn't he just using the mod to disable the.. Ooooh" ^ ^
"yeah the PLAZA OF THE DEAD fits pretty nice in here"
youre spoiling us with the daily uploads. I love it!
I dont know why but I think the elder care would fit perfectly behind the train station. (If there's enough room)
For the bend in the road you can put in the University campus and remove the business next to the campus. (Might need more space to expand the university).
