Nice City, Mate! Some points I want to add: - The roundabouts (both) of the campus are still double-way ;) - Your water supply is messed because you pumped up all the river and one of the pumps does only get water occasionally - You might want to give the train lines individal platforms in the big station (you got enough) Cheers, a faithful watcher :D
Biffa to fix the blue holes of death on your bridges, open the road anarchy and select on the top, raised road. Then upgrade the road you have with the original type and use the upgrade tool. When you do this it will make the bridge into a raised road skin and it will alter the terrain properly. it has the issue due to the fact that it is trying to force a different terrain modification type for the road that is not suited to the type of road it actually is. (edit) hope this explanation helps.
Just some notes about your multi-platform station: - I would leave the tracks nearest to the outside free from internal lines - hopefully intercity lines will stop just there and not contest capacity with your internal lines. (If that doesn't help: I think there is some mod where you can define per track whether intercity trains are allowed.) - You can put two lines on each pair of tracks, one left and one right. (Currently you have only three lines, so it's fine, but in total there are 12 tracks, so you can have 10 internal lines + intercity.)
I was about to post this too! I assume the shortest route the station will be the one that, either way watch for awhile and confirm which platform the intercity trains use. I'd also put in some direct lines between your external stations, not just have them all go to the central multiplatform one so its a quicker travel time and more people will use trains then.
This series is worth it for that roundabout alone! I'm looking forward to the episode where you'll simply replace that road with a railroad to troll us lol
My OCD is getting to a boiling point watching those two way roundabouts. Yeah let me change that", plants trees on the roundabout (#teamtrees) Oops.. I messed that up, let me just.. Ohoo auto save... sip of tea for me mMmmm... Aahhh where were we, continue doing something else. Been like this for 5 episodes.
Hehe, for 5 years probably. To be fair he does regularly solve bits here and there off camera, but yeah it can be frustrating. My biggest one is where he forces lanes and in that way closes off entire routes and streets and exits from cars because they are not allowed to go that way anymore.
3:47 by changing the budget manually you disabled autobudged for that specific type. you can reenable it by clicking the checkback next to the budget slider. Once its checked, autobudget will do its thing again
Are you trying to build a broken city on purpose? You are making the exact same mistakes that so many cities you get sent suffer from as well (and you don't point out). The residential area close to the teafarm area has almost no connections to the rest of the city, and the main connection is *through* the farm area. No wonder traffic is a mess in a just 10k pop city.
About the blue gabs under your railway-bridge: you can make it a bridge with anarchy and the blue is gone. Or you can use props like trees or billboards or whatever you like to hide the gabs.
The way to get the blue under the railway is to update it to a bridge, because at the moment it is technically still set to ground level, so will not load the bridge assets and thus glitches out the terrain
Hey Biffa! Just FYI - If you want to fix those sections of rail where you lowered the road below, just upgrade those sections to elevated rail. That will get rid of the weird glitching bits below :)
Love your channel and entertaining videos! but hey! two cents here to contribute... you are trading traffic jams of the road type for railway hell. There are two axiomatic rules in train design... 1. merger rails need to be wide enough to fit at least one full train and 2. Keep cargo and passenger lines separate! (and add 3. keep internal and external lines apart) With 10k cims you won't probably see a problem, as soon as the city grows fixing that railway system will be another whole series of videos! Cheers!
20:15 Be careful about the lane management between those roundabouts. The AI knows it can't switch lane on the roundabout so it will most likely only use 1 of the lanes between the roundabouts. 20:43, see them diving into the lane that matches the inner lane of the roundabout? "No lane switching" won't fix that. It'll only push the problem onto the highway.
Biffa, to fix the issue you have had when drawing a road or railroad over another road.. the blue ripping under the overpass, just using fine road tools, change that section to forced elevated, to make a kind of bridge. The game only does that when the road is supposed to be attached to the road. If it is meant to be a bridge or elevated it won't do that.
These modular buildings are awesome. 16:19 The station used is an End station, so you have to extend it the other way around. When you use Move it mod for lowering the road , change the railway track to a elevated track there. Also change the locations of your water pumps so the water fluctuations can stop.
Oh biffa; I love you trolling those pesky commenters with the roundabouts. Soon you'll run out of roundabouts though, and you'll have to start fixing them!
2:00 use the road tool (not which mod its part of) between the straight road and the toggle menu. then use either the bridge or the upwards arrow and update the train tracks over the highway. maybe move the nodes so the bridge kinda matches the gap or use quay anarchy along the road on both sides for some nice sunken walls
You really should disconnect the local train lines from the Intercity trains, both clog each other up and it gets really bad. Like gridlock bad. I noticed that with my own city, but when I gave the passenger Intercity trains an own route to a pseudo Intercity-only platform it worked better, it also helped I added an underground express route for passing trains so they don't interact in any funny way with my train interchanges. You also might want to try building the interchanges with one way rails so trains don't cut across, a bit like the vannila T-shaped interchange. But I love it you are reacting to commentary input so quickly, that is fantastic. But do you really want the roundabouts near the university to be two way roads or is this just a little bit of trolling? And the hotel balcony is giving the tourists a nice view upon the hospital, nothing is more pretty than ambulances. One thing that I noticed is that your put your taxes on the same percentage for everything, but the high density zones are actually wiling to pay up to 13% instead of the maximum 12% for the rest. And you tax-trick works both ways if you have a lot of money but need demand you can drop your taxes to 1% and suddenly you have a great influx of people and businesses, that saved me once, when my city was hit by a massive death wave, with lots of abandoned buildings but 18 Million on the bank so I spent 2 Million in losses for more demand and it worked, now everything is running basically fine, exept for the traffic that doesn't go higher than 55% normally, managed 60% once but that over again.
Who knew we would get a video of Biffa doing traffic fixes in his city build series? lol. I also really liked the ride along after you built each line.
I bet he will keep on doing that until no one says anything and then the next episode he will say "why did no body point out that I had done this wrong?"
if you are going to have a road going down and a rail gove over it. remove the rail line then lower the street/road, then place the rail line.. that way you do not have that 'blue' showing up under the rail line across the road.
Biffa, we need a selection of the 5 worst cities you have fixed this year, as a memorandum before 2019 ends, that would be a hell of a hilarious video with you commentating about the spaghetti lanes and stuff, including of course the Swindon roundabout which I get is going to be a particularly popular feature form now on in many cities lol.
Yo Biffa, I think the problem with the area in the corner is that it doesn't have its own access to the highway. So they are all funneled through the (former) industry area. Also, your farming industry area got hit by your auto bulldozer mod which removes building under water when left on default settings.
To fix traffic I suggest you create a 4 way interchange down the highway. Currently all the people trying to go to the other areas have to get through industrial traffic and go all the way around the roundabout.

"How to fix terrible traffic with trains", meanwhile traffic goes down to 50% ;P Great episode as always
That area in the ZW (next to the industy) only has a single way in and out for non-public transport. If you give them some option for getting away that huge congestion on the ovalabout should reduce a lot.
I wish the "modern city center" buildings came in non-commercial. Or even better, if they could do mixed buildings that had half residential half commercial, like a lot of cities do where the upper floors of buildings are housing or offices for stuff
The train was such a rollercoaster. Weird. The traffic is related to the oblongabout, it just reached maximum capacity. Time for some better interchange. Cars in industrial zone will cause problems, would be better to send there trucks. Soon the industry returns, and the combined traffic will hit you. Or you may connect the quarters on BOTH sides to the roads leading to the oblongabout, but make them a one way system. That way the whole quarter becomes a part of a huge roundabout, which will keep part of the traffic off the central one, reducing the load.
Hello again Biffa. Teaville is looking really great. Your railroad can look good in two ways: either put the street over the railroad, that is making the street the bridge instead, or use Move It to gently pull the land underneath the bridge forward to hide the Blue Mantle (what bon bon b calls it). He has a little tutorial on his channel to address this issue. I love those new Modern City Center buildings as well. I didn't know you could use them in a modular manner. Now that I do, I plan to do just that. I assume you'll place a pumping station to get that water out? 😏 Keep up the great work, thanks...
Water will run off an inclined bridge and collect on a declined road, as for the snow and ice, Biffa will wrap it in a tea cozy and tell us to live with it, lol
Hey Biffa, in 20:29 you force them to go in straight line, maybe u should check on the "pick your lane in the intersection" thing to the line inside the roundabout, right?
22:46 I haven't watched the rest, but in case you haven't figured out. Yeah, your generic industry got wiped out because people were not interested in working there. The result: the shops of your town have to import all the goods that they sell now, thus the huge infux of trucks from the outside.
I love this running joke of the two way roundabouts. Don’t ever fix them Biffa
I think they're fixed for good now 👍

Hyper efficient
Like BRUH
Just like Colchester
The college roundabout is becoming a meme now 😂😂😂

25:30 You turned off Intercity trains so anyone wanting to come into your city by train was forced to come in by car thus the influx of cars
I am not a fan of this new lighting thing. The greens are severely muted, like a desert map. I like the greens, I miss the greens
To avoid blue world tear, make the railway a bridge, usually does the trick

Just gotta love the Trollabout!
Theres no way hes not taking the piss by now
Teaville ep. 2137 - Biffa finally gets his roundabouts right!

Well trolled with those roundabouts.
Awe man! I really loved the warm sunny tropical look the game had in prior episodes. 🙁

great vid as always biffa
you should build a low residency area near the farm. I think it's cute. Like a lil rural area in your city
I love how well you're trolling everyone in the comments with those uni roundabouts
I'm beginning to suspect the messing up of the campus roundabouts is deliberate...

Biffa has to fix the traffic in HIS OWN city. It's the end of the world I'm telling ya'!
9:15 ROUND ABOUTS ARNT 2 WAY
RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH He's done it again!
Btw I built a giant roundabout in my city to ease traffic, but renamed it in your honor as the “Biffa Plays Memorial Roundabout”
put in more on ramps and exits of the highway to deal white the traffic
Hey Biffa! Just FYI - If you want to fix those sections of rail where you lowered the road below, just upgrade those sections to elevated rail. That will get rid of the weird glitching bits below :)
Rail bridges would give you the neat girder look too

For the blue part of the train bridge, you can covert that section to 'elevated' and it works fine. it's a trick i do.
Came here to write that 😁

It is possible he accidentally disallowed anyone ever from going there by disabling line switching on the "ovalabout"
Isn't it also possible to make a district of people not allowed to go to school so that there are uneducated workers for farms and whatnot?
2:50: Just make sure there is a node immediately on either side of the road, and convert the overpass to an elevated segment.
Yes, that's how I solved it aswell. Maybe you need to select "elevated" when upgrading. Dunno if the game chooses it on it's own
Rly both roundabounds are wrong ... you put a both way road ... :D
I think this is a running joke now.
Totally on purpose.....
