A footbridge across the canal between the old mills and the train station is needed.
It'd be nice if he could fit in a small coffee/ sandwich shop on the station side of said footbridge. Commuters gonna commute.
I love my footbridges. Nothing better than seeing hordes of people trotting about the place.
Good call! Creating foot paths is one of the easiest ways to reduce traffic in your cities. It's often undervalued.
The previous week I've been bringing the past 3 months of content, and I must say: my 3-month-old son loves these videos. There's something about the calming voiceover and background music and timelapses. As well as the colours and movement, I guess.
Just wanted to say that.
Also, I'm extremely impressed with the amount of content you're able to accumulate every week.
That is awesome! Thank you :-)
How strange my 2 month old is so calm when these videos are on
Was thinking, maybe add a path from the new bus hub (or a bridge) over to the path by the river? Making it easier for people to get to the preferred path into the two city parts?
I'd like to think St. Giles East and West temporarily ended their rivalry and helped each other rebuild
Sun is just coming up AND get to start the day with a Biffa video. Should be a good morning!
Enjoy!
Pedestrian bridge over the river from the railway station to the mill area and the school :-)
Also canals - is there any locks or anything similar on the workshop?
What I can add, as someone who goes up to the area around Kettering, Rockingham and Northampton very regularly is there are a lot of large industrial estates around the edges of those places. Where I go slot car racing, there used to be a chemical plant (though it was recently demolished), a racing garage, several diet supplement producers, and assorted other factories and such. You could build a pretty prototypical industrial estate for the area Kettling is based on. I do recall the slot car club, before moving to above the racing garage, was in an old shoe factory!
@Biffa you could load a Old savegame of the map if you have it. go to the houses that you lost and Mark everything (or just the houses) with move it. Then copy them and make them a Preset for pasting. those are saved in the mod config. that way you can load your current save game after and just paste them in
I really like the idea of a big district over by the highway with those old mill building set up for industrial, would be neat and those buildings are just so cool
Biffa, at some point you should put a service station along the motorway. probably won't be practical but would add to the atmosphere. Loving the build!!!
It would be nice to have at least one more bridge over the canal connecting East and West Kettling. As it is now, if you want to travel from West Kettling to East Kettling, you have to drive all the way over by the highway to cross the canal and then drive all the way back down the road on the other side to get there. The same problem exists if you're traveling from East to West to get to the train station. I think bridges between the neighborhoods would boost connectivity and help future traffic.
Great video. Keep up the work. Remember to put the maximum upgrade level back to 5 in the two areas you downgraded otherwise if given the chance they will not upgrade
if you're going with the converted mill buildings and some more for industry, it'd be great to get an old-style viaduct, especially if you have the landscape for it.
Nice to see you use public transportation instead of mega roads everywhere xD
There needs to be a mode with more realistic maintenance on roads (maybe even the need to close certain roads to resurface and all the issues that come with that) so people see how expensive it is to maintain so many roads. America banked on cars, and it worked out for a while, but the maintenance cost is literally bankrupting us at this point. I don't think cars evolved as much/fast as was expected or something. It was like a "if you build it" mindset, and they just slapped down a TON of highways and roads on credit. The only thing that came was more cars than they ever expected and the bill for maintaining a now out of date and crumbling infrastructure.
A blight has hit blightea on the world.
New posh area: "Hmmm, sightlines sightlines. They shouldn't have to see the waste transfer"
Princesshay towers: "Ah, nothing here but industry" *plops a huge garbage processing facility*
My suggestion would be to build a pedestrian bridge over the river from the train station to your large residential area. That should promote walking/taking the train. Right now they have to go all the wat around to the next bridge.
One of the mods is causing some problems with loading screen mod, by the way...ive been having issues all week loading all the assets I use...it shows you're subscribed to the assets but LSM shows the assets as missing or nonexistent. That's whats been happening with your city too, it seems....if you know Klyte, give him a ring and see whats up.
I hope you appreciate the agony of seeing the one-way road trapping all the buses (if there were any) while several minutes of bulding and tinkering go on.
I love the UK map mixes stuff up
Like two small stadiums or just a football pitches looks to me a fun idea, so there is a rivaly in Ketting like for example Liverpool FC and Everton
Feel like you need a town centre with a square or something loads of shops and a tram line just like Manchester, Nottingham and Sheffield and or another football stadium need the river just like Sunderland, Middlesbrough Nottingham and Charlton
I think another retail park with a big Tesco would be good for shoppers over in East/West Kettling
I think people use the buses instead of your trains to go from train stations to train stations is your train routes are not direct enough. If you improve the train network, you won't need buses to go from one train station to another.
I think it'd be cool to make a greenbelt between the 2 towns where building cannot be allowed to take place and turn it into scattered woodlands and farm land
Name the university trinitea university 😂
A proper motorway services would be a good build, detailing session.
Should have left the east-west flip flop and said that while side in each town are rivals they band together in apposing the other town down to the point of even defining which side is which differently.
love to see good oll Blighty
Big mistake I noticed - when you switched over West and East Ketterling around, you forgot the park in that area as well: it's still named Easter Ketterling Park.
To be fair, I live in a place where 'Southville' is to the north of 'North Street'. UK place names don't always make sense like this
In the highspeed traffic view at 31:48 the train in the background does not move ... at all.
Yeah I noticed that as well.
I hope you didn't forget to fix the max level back to 5 on the st. Giles districts.
Right @Biffa, 8:18 must absolutely be a comment magnet :') ..... leave on a 1-way in road !
Doesn't the vanilla roads have Bus only ones ?
I spent the start of the video waiting for Biffa to realise his mods haven't loaded.
I love modding my maps, but the amount of times my games have crashed or not loaded has really put me off playing.
Ah yes fitting a dog park with Anarchy in the UK…
Does Brahffa has a playthrough where he starts a city from scratch but instead going with his fully perfect solutions from the getgo, starts incompetent and fixes it as soon as it becomes an issue, expands and expands without a thought till it becomes an issue that he fixes and.... ;D
How about a walled city like chester with a big church inside/ or conwy with a castle?
incroyable vidéo
Please improve the state of your highway intersections, further refining them, because they look anything but realistic at this point
IT Offices cluster by the ruver!
Did anyone else see the half filled estate and think "Na, that seems pretty realistic."?
31:50 What has happened to Poundland?
the university building could be the facul-tea ?
first
Indeed :-)
congratulations! the first comment iconic award goes to @wu chuen ng
lol :D
Do you consider the solar parking lot/car park cheating? I'm always looking to add parking, and if I can raise my electricity production while I'm at it, why not?
Still got east kettling park
Maybe dowload an smaller bus station
How about a motorway service station?
You have a one-way going into the bus station, but they can't go out. Nevermind, you noticed later :)
What about a traditional UK office park to meet some of the industry needs, especially as it's somewhat near to the university?
Good idea, my old employer had offices in just such a park, with other large companies not far from Heathrow... again, traffic was catered for by the major motorways already there with a few additions and some shuttle bus connections to the city and industrial areas
8:22 buses can't get out of that area, they can only go in
13:22 "Honey, you said you'd remembered where we parked!" -- "I did! Someone moved the whole carpark though!"
12:50 you've forced everyone to go round the roundabout here with the Hugo There! Let them pick their lane.
For uni names, M.I.Tea would be cool but to make it more Bri'ish it should be HMITea (Her Majesty's Institute of Tea-chnology)
Great uni names
Absolutely LOVE this series!! I've got some obscure Tea related names for future use. Chamomile-bridge University (Chamomile Tea and Cambridge University) or for a future residential district. In South Africa we have a specific tea called Rooibos(pronounced Roy-boss) and it literally translates to Red bush in English . It could make a cool name for a Brick build / Industrial part of the city...
25:20... It looks like the Yellow University line loops back into the station. That's why the busses are being a bit horkey-borkey there.
I notice around 14:00 or so... you built the new area which really has nothing interesting in it, yet there is plenty of traffic there already. That suggests that there may be a routing problem somewhere else. You might want to check the cars coming through to see where they are coming from and where they are going, so you can lower your traffic by fixing the source up.
There are lots of services in the area and the busstation which also attracts cars just like a train station. You can follow the yellow car at 14:00
If you put in a park maintence building it'll increase your park effectiveness and help with the land value
I think both bus route and the train route to the same place are a bit too much. The direct bus route to the village makes sense (you have to take 2 trains now)
It might be nice for the pending bus route to have a few stops along the way.
@@SlateTiara that way the bus route will have more sense. Train as an express, direct route; bus as more local one
22:15 that weird turn around may be because you have the bus lane on the wrong side. All the bus terminals are made for right hand driving, but the bus lane road you used is on the left. The busses will always exit the terminal into the nearest lane, no matter what it is, but if TMPE tries to force them into the bus lane it may get confused because they can't turn right at the next corner in that lane, so they go onto the road and then realize they have to go right, and do a wonky dance to switch lane. You get similar issues when you use one-way roads in the opposite direction of the flow in the terminal; they just can't figure it out. The stay-in-lane markers you put in will only make this worse
Biffa: I'm going to move these service buildings, because the waterfront would be more valuable for housing etc
Biffa 0.256 seconds later: Let's place a bus hub, biofuel depot and waste transfer facility right here on the waterfront, perfect spot
If you listened he explained why. With all of the noisy roads wrapped around it, it wouldn't have been a good space for housing because of the major roads nearby being too loud and hurting land value anyway.
@@automation7295 Sometimes TH-cam comments make no sense.
About West-East thing - whenever I try to establish the directions, I turn on the day-night cycle and at noon (Sun at highest on the interface) I check out where the Sun is. And that's South.
Thats very clever. Need to start doing that in my cities
@@charlieohalloran02 Unless you want your city to be in the "southern hemisphere. " 😉
@@yafu2599 you phrase this like the southern hemisphere is some kind of conspiracy
@@fridaynightspreadsheetfun What? It's not? 😉
@@fridaynightspreadsheetfun Well, is it not?
How do *you* decide which imaginary hemisphere you want your pixel city to be in?
There’s a park trick you can do to force land value increases. You can place a bunch of the same park directly on top of each other with anarchy. After like 10 you can really see a boost. You can only see one but it has the effect of 10. Theres also an invisible park on the workshop you could consider as well.
Also look at the train line you look like there’s some congestion.
Now, as for names for the university, here's some suggestions:
* Teaquillity College
* Ketterling Academic Institute
* St. Garway College (Sticking with something tea-related on that end)
* St. Brewling University
* Cuppatea University
* St. Tealeafer College
Not sure if you're British but over here, a tea leaf is cockney rhyming slang for a thief 🤭
@@shibziinescafe9327 Oh, I am British, and I'd forgotten tealeaf was that XD
Please no parking in the uni, make it a campus uni potentially where students walk everywhere?
Noticed when you checked your bus lines, thst Kett bus st to East Kett had at one stop over 300 and at one 100ish, but your bus capacity didn't reflect the demand. Might have a second look? However, again a great episode. Love them🙂 Feel "lost" when you don't upload or are delayed🤣
You should add way more, churches, pubs and supermarkets! That’s what it’s really missing, also I think where you have placed forest on roundabouts it would be a lot more dense! Love this series
oh happy lunchtime a new episode
Enjoy :-)
12:40 it looks to me like you're forcing busses up and down your access road. Hugo doesn't work as well when you have bus lanes.
there needs to be more connectivity across the canal, especially between the mill housing/school campus area and the train station. if you're wanting to avoid car traffic on little streets, at least a footbridge so people can easily access the area :)
Hey biffa, please do a whole university campus. It would be interesting to see the gameplay for that plus that grand looking uni that you've placed could have some historical significance for the area?
EDIT: I've had a think and maybe the uni could be the old barracks of the egg soldier regiment who were on guard during the civil war between east and west kettling; whose call to ceasefire was the word 'toast' (because Blightea is not opposed to some toast)??
My goodness Biffa, you seem to want to put roads, industry and noisy businesses on the most desirable land like riverfronts. Then stick houses in big sections far away. Your new bus terminal is right along the river but comes off a road connecting to an inland highway. Why didn't the terminal be set along the inland highway?
This, He also covers the front with trees so people have to walk all the way round and can't get across from the waterfront and the waterfront road which would be super valuable is literally just trees? Why put a gigantic bus station where no-one lives? it makes no sense?
@@Jay_Johnson In the US in cities and towns the value of waterfront land is more than the house that sits on it.
@@501Mobius not just the US
Is it just me or do you lot walk/drive around your home towns thinking "there's a dedicated turning lane" or "that junction needs its node moved back a bit" or " they should move that McDonald's 3m to the left and plop a primark in the gap" 🤣🤣
You made a mistake with the intersection at 7:25. You are forcing normal traffic to take a right which means a longer journey which means more traffic buildup.
I hope this helps.
Love your videos!
ok, you have a farming industry going strong in this build. Now you need a forestry area. I would say that some of your old Mill areas could have been furniture and paper mills.
22:56 I think that if the bus station was on the outside of the loop so that the busses were making a left into it, the would flow properly. Now the go all the way to the end and cross over each other to leave.
If you use the small radio mast they could work well as the telephone towers you get all over the country lol
You just set the same route for trains and buses. I think bus routes need to go round your city streets instead of highway. Maybe using buses for local transport will increase their usage and boost happiness of your citizens.
I wonder when he'll spot that the one way system around the new bus sation means the busses won't escape once they enter... There it is, a couple of minutes later.
You know those paths you have down the back of the houses, you could turn those into a really thin park and if you level it up it should bring the land value right up. If you feel bad about it just don't charge anything for entry.
St Giles commercial appears to have sunken. For industry maybe take a spur or two from the river and have a canal route, like what Manchester, Leeds and Brum have with warehouses and mills making use of the routes.
Ooh! A spaghetti junction. Although not a favourable route, it is indeed iconic.
I don't think I have ever seen a city skylines city as beautiful as this. I'm half-way considering moving to the UK. Although the last time I was in London I stayed at an air-bnb, which happened to be for sale. It was as cramped like a shoebox with a bathroom-drawer. It had 1 tiny window and to get there there were 4 ridiculously narrow stairs up. More like ladders. How they got a bed up there still puzzles me to this day. This beast was listed for 350K pounds. I can imagine why your in-game residents are complaining about landvalue, it comes with the Brittish theme!!
That garbage processing center makes HUGE radius of pollution.. I think eventually Princesshay park residents won't like it.
Didn't you just plant a tree in the middle of the bus biofuel tank? I know it's bio, but it would need processing before it became useful.
omg love the enviro airbus - its a budget airport line in Hong Kong (E buses) compared to the luxury ones (A buses), love to see them having another life in teahampton haha
could it be used when this midlands-esque town needs an airport ?
with what Hugo's done, you're forcing all of the service vehicles to turn left out of the complex and making them go all the way around the roundabout junction over the highway, rather than turning right if they need to go to West Kettling
Thailand traffic in the thumbnail, love it. 😂 I grew up in Bangkok and always hoping public transport extension would help the personal cars used traffics but nope. Now living in the UK and I’m so grateful for much better public transport. 🥰
12:43 Yield sign instead of give way (pedantic I know), 31:48 shops have subsided!!
BIO TREE IS HERE. I dont know if biff will see this but there is a tree on the bio bus depo.
You should check that pollution on the processing plant….you’ll see what I mean
Not going to watch this till later but wondering if the new routemaster will be making a appearance ?.... Thanks in advance for the upload Im sure I won't have anything to moan about.
In York, there is a massive shopping area. It has dozens of old-cobblestone paths! With dozens of shops, I think that'd be great for one of your area's. Potentially Kettling' so people can take the train in for the day, do a bit of shopping and explore the historic sights and go home on the train with about 8 bags of clothes from Primark. 😅😅
The buses in the bus lines are forced to turn on only one way. I think you should allow with the arrows to turn in the every direction on the bus lines
East Kettling Park is in West Kettling, gotta love it.
Go all london bus, the new route master instead of the old one and use London single deckers for non busy routes
How about an out of town shopping area? A shopping mall and/or superstore?I remember when Carrefour opened up and when Westfield Mall opened people flocked to them. A chance to extend the bus routes and maybe some tram loops.
I like that idea. Maybe a designer outlet somewhere around Upper Teahampton or a hypermarket near East/west kettling 🤔
@@shibziinescafe9327 It may all depend on the retail resources that are already opened up, or have to wait until the town grows a stage or two
"You're going to start flooding everywhere, so thank you very much!" 😆
Just like all good British rivers and canals, someone has chucked a bike in... 6:35 mins in!🤣
@@automation7295 I got that, still looks funny and well placed though!
Hey Biffa! Maybe you could design and build a Government complex or maybe the Prime Ministers or Mayor home or something like that. Love the videos! ;)
Nice that you fixed the names, hope they won't be too confused with their feud now.
7:30 making the last bit of the road ground-level as well was a mistake IMHO.
8:34 not sure how you think they can leave but hopefully you fix it later.
12:25 didn't even take you until trying to create some routes.
23:00 nice to see you add more walking options. I think you could connect the Wold a bit more and build some pedestrian bridges over it.
Wasn't the shuttle bus between the new hub and Kettling Station also a bit undersized?
Did you change the park name from "East Kettling Park" to "West Kettling Park" to reflect the name change of the neighborhoods?
