Canals would be a great. Like a mini Venice. That could be your seperate town you were talking about. How about a tourism centre. A beach front type afair with a pier and water sports and all that. You can tell I've been looking a summer holiday plans can't you. :)
Hey Biffa, I'd love to see you completely redo Teaville's trains. You need 3 separate networks for freight, intercity rail (going off-map) and commuter rail. The networks should never share the same track (but should run alongside each other to look cool) and passengers can only switch from one service to another at the appropriate stations / platforms :D
How about an outter parallel track along the main artery south of the Main Station to separate the Cargo Trains for the industry park, and switch the Farm cargo station to the outer line west of the Farm area. Keep passenger station as a commuter train, and add some parking for highway traffic coming in.
Why would they not use the same track? I always make my local commuter rail use both dedicated and general track - it just needs work in regards to organization to prevent jams, but I've had great success normally. The biggest city I've built has about 180.000 people and multiple local train routes, and they will generally use the same track apart from certain sections that will be only used by commuter rail. Another 130.000 big city also has a similar system, with only one elevated line going into downtown being exclusively for commuter rail.
Sounds sooo unrealistic at first, but having water properly cleaned and recycled back into the system as clean water is very much a thing that's coming in a BIG way. Many big cities (and islands) need it on-line as soon as possible.
It does not really work as the filters do not clean 100% of the waste water. I did not play in a while so I so not know if it still works like that but last I tried people still got sick.
To my knowledge, the Garbage Collector still caps out at 1%. Wich is pretty realistic. There are different levels/use cases for reclaimed water. And reclaiming it all the way back to drinkling water (called "portable use") is *not* trivial. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reclaimed_water#Types_and_applications You could reuse the 1% water for industry. But unfortunately, this side of two seperate water networks i do not think that can be done ingame. The natural water cycle involves a lot of cleaning. Something equivalent to destilation to even create the water vapor that forms into clouds. There is still some contamination, but as long as the water is in the air, in snow or flowing it is dang hard for anything to seriously contaminate past drinking quality.
Hi Biffa. I just wanted to say how much I enjoy your Cities: Skylines videos. I've never really understood why people enjoy watching other people play games, and I started watching your channel to help me with the game, but I do also get a lot of enjoyment out of watching Teaville grow, your humorous commentary etc etc. Hugo here and horky-borky always make me laugh. Thank you!
All of them, obviously! - Helicopters Also, I think you should go through and get your Garbage and Pollution under control. I noticed that Garbage Dump mentioned that it was struggling with the Trash, and I doubt your Railway workers are thrilled with the coastal view of the Polluted Bay. Plus, I'm pretty sure you'll want clean Canal Water, so that's another thing to consider.
One thing I want to see more of in these playthroughs in general is more emphasis on parks & tourist/leisure areas, especially ones that don't just bulldoze all of nature to put in high rises and shopping malls. Seems like keeping natural beauty on the map gets thrown out the window a lot.
Good to see Biffa putting in a lemonade factory. One less step for those who take their cuppa with a bit of lemon and sugar. I assume the steel is to make kettles.
This antediluvian loves what you do. Succinctly as possible, •A tourist area near the top of the mountain (right next to ...) •A great national Park with all the interesting quirks you do so well (situated beside...) •A massive Zoo with animal reserves and tourist loops •GONDOLAS and Blimps to facilitate joining these areas together and amplify the tourist feels. •Expand canal idea to the mountain area in the form of rapids and other 'aqua entertainment' which would eventually flow into the regular canals.
I like the idea of doing a separate small town that would connect with the city, but also maybe an episode that focuses on more granular details and beautification?
It's like fire armageddon Fire Teaville. Every great city in America has had a great fire. And wasn't there a great fire of London too? Have a gulp of tea and just watch it get put out!
Building a far-flung suburb sounds like an excellent idea. How about putting in a giant Nature Reserve somewhere? Maybe put it out in the boondocks with your suburb? Also, a seaside concert ground or amusement park would be pretty cool too. Come to think of it, you haven't done much with the Parks DLC in Teaville yet besides revenue enhancement.
Since you asked, most of what I like about your channel is seeing efficiency. For example your traffic fix videos are all about making effective solutions to problems and I like that. Teaville has less of that but in this video you had things you did to make the lemonade factory work better with trains and storage. I guess the difference is that for teaville you are creating problems to solve instead of being handed problems. Anyways I know you like to use premade junctions, but I would be interested in you making your own which are tailored to your specific situation. I think I would enjoy making my own junctions and traffic solutions but I haven't rented this game so I cannot. Again, it's solving problems that I like and probably why I liked playing spacechem. But of course the most important thing is that you enjoy what you do, so keep doing that and I will continue to enjoy your videos :)
Hey Biffa, I can't get enough of Teaville, it looks great! I'd love to see more work with Trams and Monorails, maybe in a tourism district? They're so under used I'd be curious to get your creative interpretation on how to put them in Cities
15:12 beware of that one! I really got burned with the old town policy in my previous city. It prohibits service vehicles such a hearses and garbage trucks from reaching those areas of the map and as a result I had my garbage trucks do this weird spawn/despawn behavior and trash was piling up all over the city. Was driving me mad and it took me ages to figure it out. I turned about half my mods and assets on and off one by one until finally figured out that it was the old town policy causing it.
A mountainous ski resort with houses would be a great addition to #Teaville. There are lots of mountains in the distance that are ready for the taking :D
Canals would be a good area to work on and as an extension to that actually creating rivers to use as water ways. Great vid as always Biffa, I have learnt a lot from watching these and putting them into my own cities. Keep up the good work and have a cuppa for me!
I would agree with comments about doing a mountain resort tourist area, possibly with some terraced roadways that wind past some country mansions/estates, maybe even including a botanic gardens type park with rail and cable car access.
Parks and several different industry specializations are the big secret. Put a park in areas where people will want to walk and they will gladly pay 32 dollars just to walk across a patch of grass instead of going 8 blocks out of the way. And you can do that pretty quickly too, so it's a great early money maker.
15:36 Noticed that before you banned the trucks and stuff that on the big road with the buslane there is NO turning Right for the normal traffic so they go straight on and then turn Left LOL Make the other connection a priority road to avoid the barracks !
When you get a huge conflagration like that it can only mean one thing: too many trees. The game remembers Paradise, CA even if the gamer doesn't. Too many trees planted too close together become fuel for a fire and a fire hazard, especially in arid regions (though I'm not sure the game takes the regional climate into account).
A mountain resort would be good, plus a dedicated sports/leisure district could be interesting. Perhaps a ring of connected resorts: the Teaville Tour! When you get around to the metro have you thought about revisiting the Metro Overhaul Mod? Will allow proper metro interchanges with multiple platforms, both underground and overground lines. Could even be used to update your current rail (assuming separate lines for cargo and passengers).
imagine setting up your metropolis of a city and then suddenly somewhere someone makes their mod 1% taller and you open your game and it's just pure chaos and death. geez the power of code.
Hey Biffa! I'd ike to see one or two themed neighborhoods like "Little Italy", "Little China" or a medieval village far off the modern city center. There a so many fantastic mods for that. Also some more beautifications here and there (more plazas and parks, better use and/or decoration for the "waterholes" (giggle) amid the roundabouts) more entertainment like a zoo, a theme park, beach areas, tourism area, you name it. :)
Alright, taking a look, I'd like to see some densification of the urban sprawl areas. Not switching to high-density, but just some more small roads closely packed to bulk up the area a little more.
Biffa, it's the Great Teaville Fire! 😮 Well, it wasn't so great for your city, was it? 😆 Up next, perhaps: Zoo, amusement park, monorail system? A national park has to be somewhere... 🤔
you should make a perfect city. In terms of having all areas built that the game allows (campus, IT offices, offices, suburbs, a high density city center,etc) and having them fully level up and everyone happy, educated, etc. Having all special buildings built in its respective zones. no pollution. etc
I want to see Teaville have rural areas with lots of beautification props. One artificial looking thing about cities in Cities Skylines is that not many people build at light densities. You either have urban/suburban areas or you have empty plots the player hasn't filled in with urban areas yet. Spend some time and make the empty areas look real and occupied, while still being sparsely populated, if that makes sense.
Another good video thank you! Also that fire wow I have not seen it that bad in any my save for a very long time, I think that round about had something to do with it mostly though not being set up properly. Also I gave the video +1 Thumbs up ;)
Build a old time town area Dirt roads covered bridges , maybe a mid evil island . or a super odd area on other side of mountain with a back story , like mole people make a big hole and they live there .
Would love to see other towns/cities growing all over the map with passenger and cargo trains connecting places with different types of resources/products to offer! Example: town in the mountains focused on forestry feeding paper industries in another city! Btw love the channel!
Go to the big mountain behind your high density area (the mountain in the cinematic shot at the end around 16:40) and build a nature reserve with paths all up the mountain and stuff. Make it like a hiking/mountain climbing park. :D
I like the stadium idea but mass transit episode including canals a venice inspired canal network would be nice but I don’t know how it would look in teaville. Surprise us biffa like you always do. Great series keep it up
A couple of ideas - Is there an "recycling center" asset that takes the trash and makes raw materials (metal, plastic, glass, rubber etc) from the trash your city produces? Have a ferry route - possibly using the canals.
2 ideas:
1. Clean up the poo in the water
2. Make some parks on the islands to be reached by ferries only

Looks like you need to do the recycling reservoir. Pump dirty water through floating garbage collectors and pump the clean water back into the city.
