Biffa, when you undertake your detailing montages, it is my opinion that you seem to sometimes over use trees which ends up taking away from the other detail elements you choose to use. Example: the extra lines of trees that border that road, the base game trees that were left around the Opera House, the base game trees that were moved closer to the highway really lessened the impact of those buildings in that area when viewed from the highway. Maybe your should start thinking of: “Less is More” or maybe using less Green Trees with the ground also being green and using more Colorful Variations of trees in smaller groups to accent and area, and not just try and blanket cover the ‘green’ of the ground with more ‘green’ of trees. I understand the ‘blanket coverage’ idea working for a forestry based industry area, but I think it is less required in a city/town based area where sometimes a 1-5 trees of the right size in an area can have a better affect as sometimes the ‘green’ of the ground is just as appealing. However with that bit of constructive criticism out of the way, I am fully enjoying this new city as it is developing and can’t wait till the next episode 🙂
To be honest Biffa, your articles are very relaxing for me. I’m perusal when I have anxiety or while eating during those times; while I’m still under quarantine for months in my country, missing any face to face interactions. perusal you talk while fixing roads and arranging the city is so satisfying. Thanks from Oman ❤️
I’m such a weird dude, when I do a Highway- Avenue intersection, I do a roundabout over the highway, make the roundabout big enough to put a unique building in the middle, great for the observation tower or landmarks. It makes a nice aesthetics. Also my new city I have a Commercial dedicated area with the 3 mall buildings. Hooked in with monorail/ Rail and Metro.
I really like how often you’re posting these articles. I will often put you on while I eat or while I’m playing a game, as I like hearing you talk about C:S, even though I probably know most of the tricks you’re talking about by this point (I’ve been perusal you for some time; most of what I know I learned from you)
Make a park. Make a road closed to pedestrians and all vehicles except service that goes under or over the park fence. Place your big tourist draws inside such park areas. Cluster mass transit just outside the park entrances to diffuse tourist traffic. Also a great way to add specific/special buildings inside theme parks and such to make them even more themey. Nest the park area entrances for cheesy profits. Closing roads to pedestrians is a challenge. I find the simplest way is a loop with the road going into the park extending up or down past the fence from inside the loop. Then forbid pedestrian lane crossing.
Lovely as ever Biffa, but perhaps u need a little bit of road between the feeder road and the commercial area, so they dont have to go all way round {third crossing after the road crossing to the commercial, first being the tram and train and the second being the major road}. Love seeing this city grow.
I know you haven’t unlocked it yet, but I’ve been putting tons of national highways in my city. It’s doing wonders for traffic, but I don’t have to say that to the king of traffic management. I would just leave space for a highway loop from your residential to your industrial. They seem to stay way off my streets that way if they are not using my mass transit. I’m taking yours, and a few other’s advices and I am started to really love my city. I have left many cities, but I have stuck around with my current one for a long time. It’s growing the slowest for some reason, but I don’t mind. It gives me time to plan and design stuff.
At the very start of the article, I was ready to suggest dropping your elevated tram route down to ground level in a couple of places so that you could put some stops in – and then you beat me to it! Just one thing, with the footbridges, it looks as though you have lowered them below the overhead wires for the railway 🚊 and the tram line 🚋 … that might give pedestrians a nasty shock ⚡!
As for the name of the new district, since the game suggested Holly District, I wanted do go with some holly tea names (I’m real lucky that all the game names so far came from plants, so it makes things easy). There’s the popular Yerba mate, as well as Guayusa, but I settled on Yaupon District after yaupon tea. Because the taxonomic name for that particular species of holly – Ilex vomitoria – brings to mind the vomitoria of ancient Rome, which were not rooms to vomit in, like the urban legend says, but rather “emergency exits”, designed to let out a huge crowd of people at once, and were used in (amphi)theaters. Or, in case of Teaport, an Opera House, tying it all together.
If you want to get the perceived volume of your articles a little louder I would suggest doing one of these two options: 1.) use and eq to remove more of the low frequency, something like a high pass filter 2.) of you want to be more surgical, you can take a digital eq, boost a specific frequency on the lower part of your voice and then move around the frequency point until you find the resonant area, then dial back that area. (I see something like the soothe2 audio plugin automatically will find and lower this resonance area)… Either one of these two options will get your voice sounding more professional… because right now there is a very resonant lower part of your voice that booms a bit. As listeners the information in the lower frequency of a speaking voice isn’t horribly important. If you get that part of your voice under better control you can raise the whole volume of your voice. That way we can focus on the part that is more important and the music can have the whole lower frequency. If you go the eq way I would suggest just saving your final version and you can continue to apply it in the future! Keep up the good work!
Despite the spectacular location of the Sydney opera house, a beach or shore is not a good fit for an opera house. Nobody thinks “let’s spend the afternoon at the beach and then go to the opera in the evening in our beachwear.” The opera house really needs to be in a district with lots of high end nightlife: restaurants, nightclubs, cabarets, cinemas, casinos, convention centers, hotels, maybe some fine art museums and libraries. The beach or shore is more appropriate for daytime leisure such as golfing, hiking, cycling, boating, sports fishing, Frisbee throwing, dog walking.
love your content for this game (also Oxygen Not Included) and playing the game myself however there is still one thing that I struggle with and was hoping you could cover it in a article. Playing maps that aren’t flat, dealing with contours and heights of the ground and using the tools to change the heights of the roads etc. I struggle massively with this and normally mess it up when trying to style and reshape the city. Any chance you could cover this in a article short – manipulating the land and how to use the tools in the game to do what we want them to do??
Biffa, you made paths over the tram and railway lines, allowed them to cross the main 4 lane road then they have to go ALL THE WAY ROUND to get to everything on the smaller streets. I think it would be logic to have a few paths just connecting the main road to the smaller roads, as it is literally 10 metres which people have to walk half a mile to get across (approximate guesses)
I noticed something weird with lane mathematics on highways. When a highway is reduced from three to two lanes across an intersection the cars will only use one lane on the two lane section. They also do some funky lane changing before the intersection. I think there’s a setting in TM:PE that you have to enable to prevent this behaviour.
Us console players really lack in the stuff PC players have, and most of then they could easily put into the console version. Like parking garages for an example, console doesn’t have parking garages though it wouldn’t be much of an addition. Console only has half the roads that ppl on Pc get aswell.
Hi Biffa! Love your cities and ideas, it’s inspiring! I recently started a new city as well, but I’m having trouble with the terrain. Everywhere I make plots for houses, the ground on the plot will be flattend. This results in Rocky, mountain’ish terrain in my city. Do you have some tips to solve or prevent this? Keep up the good work at Teaport!
Hi Biffa! Just a suggestion for you for highways. You always do a lot of changing the three lanes down to two lanes at an interchange, what about making just before and just after the interchange, four lanes, that way it creates your turning lane without having to Throttle Down the rest of the highway?
Hi! When you’re using Move It, it seems like the increments you move roads etc. with are quite a bit smaller than what I’m used to. Is this just my brain messing with me or is there something you can change / is there a hotkey to alter this? I know about shift+move, but that only makes the increments larger.
Dear Biffa, i would like to watch a city with max efficiency and happy citizens play through, i know you like to play it nice n slow with lots of decorations n stuff, but i wanna see/learn the most efficient way to build up a city with high profit, super happy citizens decorations are not a priority . Looking for tips n tricks and designs ( like how many housing per block VS industry vs commercials )
Regarding the purple tram line — I’ve read and heard more than once that Cims don’t “visit”, so there’s no need for transportation within a Residential area, or from one to another. Cims travel from home to work and to shopping, and then back home. I’d like to hear your thoughts (either here or in a future article). Does the purple line get much use, and is there a way to tell where the Cims are going (like the Traffic Routes tool)?
You can still see the catenary wires for the tram and rail through the foot bridges. Would it also not make sense to have the foot bridges going over the road as well as there is no reason to come down between the railway and the road, and you may cause traffic congestion with the crossings at road level.
Question, is it possible to build roads and parking lots underground? I am thinking of building a downtown area with only footpath, bicycle path, tram and/or monorail lines on the surface. Wondering if residential/commercial zoning can be done adequately with major infrastructure access below the surface. (Haven’t been able to test anything since my pc passed months ago.)
can you recommend a vid that goes over the commands for traffic manager and move it mod? I know you’ve mentioned some of the uses and key commands while using the mods. I just subscribed to your mod list on steam and i am finally trying my hand at cities again.. been perusal for months.. but all those mods, just kinda over whelmed my brain on what does what. =\\ for example, my roads now dig themselves into the ground when i place.. but is that a “move it” thing? or anarchy thing? traffic manager?, if you have the time it would be very helpful. thank you.
i kinda suck at city’s skylines (lack of immagination and also not sure how to do things) so i’m following allong with teaport but my farm area will just not level up, by spamming worker barraks’s i’ve managed to get it to 305 workers but it hasn’t ticked over yet (my city’s basically a chineese knockoff of your city, kinda the same but the roads are crooked and it’s not nearly as pretty looking…also didn’t have certain buildings so substituted it for something similar) but it’s been a good learning experience on how to use most of the tools ^^ also the first city that doesn’t look like mega city 1 from judge dredd which is what mine tend to end up as >.>
