Would you recommend buying this game on laptop? Do my i5 12gen and 3060 rtx 6 gb would be enough to enjoy the game? Love this game but still am not sure my some what good laptop will run it? Maybe if someone uses 2023 acer nitro 5 and plays this game can get me a comment on how it is going would be a pleasure.:)
I miss you already I counting the days until you appear. And built the next Episode of Awsoness of Building. My Favorits in Citie Skylines are Biffa plays indie Games, City Planer Plays, Beam (german Content Creator), Two DollarsTwenty, Imperatur, Timemaster. Keralis, SpielbearLP (german Content Creator).
@andismisans7594 from what I've heard you need a pretty decent set up to play this game. But from watching videos it's not worth upgrading your pc/laptop. There's barely anything different to the first game.
Content creators and subscribers alike have worked hard to make a respectful and passionate community. Let's not let it be ruined by a few idiots. CS1 took years to get to its end state. This will be an absolutely fantastic game too
Biffa and CityPlanner, your videos are the reason I have and extremely enjoy CS1. Unfortunately, will be waiting for a possible release on Mac for CS2. Please continue with your amazing content, you bring much needed enjoyment after long days at work. ❤
Great work from Biffa and yourself Phil you guys are my fave creators keep doing your thing the real fans appreciate the hard work of yourselves and the hard work paradox are putting in ❤
I think the rail yard is designed for the double track in the middle to replace the existing double rail track, in other words to overlap and let normal rail traffic to pass through the rail yard. This way it will waste less space and the other train tracks will be easier to curve into the main rail track.
@@Merecir haven't actually paid attention to the train spawning, but I would assume so yeah. But he probably knows that as he's just using it for outside connections
The Fact that the Botanical Garden (and many more buildings) have so much detail inside them is amazing. I would guess that over 90% of players would probably never try to go inside those buildings but its still there. Very impressive although not necessary
Thanks for that wonderful and thoughtful message around the 45 minute mark. I will do my bit in spreading the love. I adore the wonderful and kind community we have here and I hope we maintain that.
I watched a lot of the 30 minute videos that content creators made when they first got access to CS2. I think you were the only person that didn't complain about something and instead just enjoyed the game. Thanks for your positivity.
Love your channel mate, I think the only criticism of watching CS2 is that it's hard to get a "feel" for the city that's being built.....in no way your fault, I don't know if the snow isn't helping or the fact that there's no visual mods or maybe whenever in build mode it shows you the coloured zoning squares under the building. Like I say, that's constructive criticism of the game not you, I'll still watch it regardless!
@neagah13 ? So, exactly what's outside my window atm? It seems pretty realistic to me, well, except for the trees losing their snow whenever you move the view when zoomed in.
@@hanzzel6086there should be a slider somewhere about snow intensity. In many areas, both us and eu, you don't get a full coverage of snow for 6 months out of 12 :)
Hello Biffa; I'm almost 40 years old and you made buy a new computer and my main purpose was just this game. I have been watching your every video for a long time (4 years maybe) and all I want to say is thank you very much for making me sitting on a computer to play games again (even my wife is not so happy about it :D ). I'm still struggling with economical issues in my city but anyway we are learning as you said. Thank you again and greetings from Turkey.
The low usage of the buses is because there wasnt enough buses for them to use it as well of course as your $50 ticket more buses make them faster and with cs2 will get more usage
As of this posting, 2023-10-28, there is a confirmed bug (by CO) that exporting out of cargo train, sea and air do not work. The trucks come in to fill the warehouse with excess goods but nothing is ever shipped out. That's the general consensus of the bug. This is not you Biffa, but the game itself. The devs are investigating and hope to have a patch soon.
@@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylineshey biffa, following was written by co_avanya, she is a community ambassador and dev. Hi everyone. I just wanted to pop in and shed some light on this situation as resource management in Cities: Skylines II is, unfortunately, affected by a few bugs at the moment. We are aware of this and currently investigating these issues: City services only trade with outside connections, even when storage companies in your city have the resources they need. They should of course be able to purchase the resources your city produces locally. Harbors are mainly trading with your city’s storage companies, not other zoned buildings or city services. As you would expect, they should be able to trade with all zoned buildings and services, allowing your city to import and export through them. We’re investigating reports that indicate the cargo terminal is affected by the same or an issue similar to the harbors. It’s also worth noting that transportation distance affects costs. We expect that your businesses will prefer the closest storage facilities over a further away harbor/cargo terminal, however, that does not explain the reports we’re seeing. I want to apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your reports. The information you provide us is very valuable in narrowing down these issues, and should you encounter any other issues or unexpected behavior, please make sure to report them on our support forum. Response times are a little slow at the moment, but we are working our way through all of your reports and greatly appreciate them and your patience. Thank you. This is from paradox Forum i dont think iam allowed to post links but i will try it in the next comment Edit: my comment with the link got deleted. You can find the link in reddit at r/CitiesSkylines there is a post with this exact statement and in the comment is the link

The detail in CS2 is just phenomenal! One suggestion for this city would be to add a bus line from the railway station to the main part of the city - maybe that could run to the tower blocks rather than diverting the purple route - I'm sure that would increase the number of people travelling by train, and reduce traffic on the roads.
Im going to reiterate many of the comments and also say thank you for what you do Biffa, you have literally given me an entirely new perspective of Cities Skylines 1 and 2. All games have growing pains - cities skylines 1 wasnt all that awesome until it got its legs under it and the mod community went to work - I believe the same thing will happen with CS2. I have nothing but love for ya man! Thanks for all the great content.
Biffa- if you’re looking for realistic one track train lines: Have 2 track main lines where it’s busy Have 1 track dedicated for local traffic- usually internal. Add some 2 track sections for passing sidings. Junctions should be a single track extending from the double main (so 3 tracks) and branch your things off of that- cargo stations, yards etc. then reattach that line (called the yard lead) back to the main
46:26 we appreciate all that you do biffa 100% i like others sit and wait out the days I know your posting to watch your videos and many other creators for CS2 but I enjoy yours the most.
Thank you, Biffa for all your Cities Skylines Videos. Both from the original game and 2 as well! I love you, I love Colossal Order and Paradox, I love this community and being a part of it.
Hi Biffa. I've been an avid watcher of your city fix videos over the years (since 2019) especially when I was trying to look over some Cities Skylines tutorials over youtube. This is the first time I'll leave a comment in your channel, and I'd like to say I really appreciate your content! To be honest, I do not have a good end pc right now and the budget to buy the game, but seeing you play the new Cities Skylines 2 and show us the features around it makes me feel that I am playing the game too. Hoping for more CS2 content from you and please do enjoy your cup of tea!
Hah! Lorem Ipsum text inside the botanical garden. It makes sense that they'd shortcut that but given the rest of the effort put into it, I'm almost surprised that they didn't make up some "proper" text since it is legible when you put the camera in there.
I have seen a lot of people complaining about the framerate on high end computers even faster then mine. For myself i got also somme games that where loosing FPS en not working like they got too. But i needed a new HD and bought one SSD 4TB. i transfered my old games from the normal HD to my SSD. This solution worked for me. No more lag and very fast gaming. To give one example...on my old HD i needed about 20 miutes to load cities skylines 1 with all the mods. With the SSD i only need less then 2 minutes to loqd the game. I hope that this info can help for somme of you. For the rest keep up going the good work and amazing videos pls Biffa. great work and very good comment
I did have an issue with this game at first. It kept causing my device to reboot on its own, however I found a way to help with that. Since finding a fix for it, I haven’t had much issues with the game. It does occasionally crash but when it doesn’t, I have a blast playing this game. Of course since it came out there are bugs that hopefully get fixed. And I’m more than ready for mods. Other than those complaints, I really do love the game. I enjoy watching your videos Biffa, they are fun, entertaining, and very helpful!
I agree with your ending statement so much. Listen, I played Cities skylines 1 on the switch so anything is better than that. We love you Biffa and CO!!!!
I bet this is going to be a banger like normal. Keep up the good work been watching you since 2020 and you and your videos helped me get through 2020. Cheers man!
We are thousands enjoying CS2! Devs, creatives, please continue and don't take care about the haters! Almost 80 hours playing and even if some issues still need to be fix, we already love it ;) And thank you Biffa for your work !
I have a pretty good pc. And I see some issues. But it's a BIG game and people need to understand that. After the last patch I can already see and feel the changes and I am here for it. It's unlike some other game creators that I will not name but alot of people will know what I mean, that put out a bugged game and NEVER fix it but ask ALOT of money or even micro transactions.😅 Thabk you for your amazing work Biffa! Been watching for a couple of years now and I am always curious to see what you build next! You and City Planner Plays, Yumble, Overcharged Egg and many more creators are doing such a good job showing people how it's done and teaching certain stuff! I can't with people that think hating on creators (or people in general) is gonna make stuff better.😅
Biffa do you know that you can place your own bridges on top of your roads and you can also place your own rail road bridges try trying it its really really really true And also your the best
Lovely sentiment at the end, Biffa - it is a great community and a shame some bad eggs have to try and damage that. I'm a console player so have to live vicariously through you and other creators to see a game played to a level I will likely never experience myself, so appreciate everything you guys do.
Thanks for all that you do. You, your fellow creators and the developers are doing an excellent job. CS2 is already incredible and I can only imagine how much better it's going to get in the future. Here's a toast to the best city playing game out there! 🎉
Biffa, I love the output you make for Cities Skylines 2. The game for me is great apart from the couple of crashes per session - but I save regularly, so not too much of a hinderance due to the fast load speed. Look forward to seeing more from you and watching as the game develops and is refined. 300 hours in, so got my moneys worth for sure. The haters as you say, gonna hate on virtually anything: A definate danger when people who are not really into the game start their rants.
Love the inclusion of the botanical garden! Can it get renamed or made a district? If so, can it be called Dew Gardens - a take on Kew Gardens in London?
Hi Biffa. A bit of story time based on the end of this video, which is another great video, so thank you for that. I was worried about my potato running the game. It's a 4 year old pc I built to be higher end, but in today's technology most likely a mid range. When I got the game I loaded it up just to see. A lot of stuttering, lags, and freezes. So I disconnected everything, took it apart and started taking notes for new parts. Kind of wishlist mostly but, I found the problem and solved most of everything. When I built this rig, it speced out as needing a 1000w psu. The psu I bought was dead out of the box. So I stuck in the old 750w I had on hand from the old rig. When I started it up everything seemed to be running ok so over time, I just simply forgot the psu issue. When I saw the psu I decided to start there. I bought a brand new 1000w, it was only around $140 US, shipping will add on to that of course, I installed it. Now I can play Cities 2 almost no problems. I do have everything turned down, but I'm ok with that. So my adivice to all those angry, start small. It may just be that you only need to upgraded a PSU. I only follow 3 Cities creators so I think I'll paste this to the others as well.
@@faustinpippin9208 I've seen people make give way junctions by right clicking with the lights option, but there should be a way to force it like you could with TMPE since it was probably one of its most useful features.
I really love the data that the cargo stations offer. Not just x number of tons of cargo, but a breakdown of the specific type. It doesnt matter to the overall gameplay, but its one more new level of detail thats great
Thank you for including about creating a safe space in our community at the end of the video. 10/10 agree. You can be angry, but don't attack the creators or the devs. Thanks Biffa.
Hey Biffa. Responding to your comments on the hate comments. I couldn't agree more. It seems to be the fashion today that a new game is released and the hate community responds in force. I believe it is due to some youtubers who specialize in critiquing games and unforunately they have a bigger audience when they spam hate rather than spam goodness. I block these haters as soon as I can. Just some kind words. I watch your videos because well, they are awesome. Overcharge egg does a great job as well, as does city planner but I always come back to your videos every time a new one is released. Thanks for always being positive.
I understand not having a good experience in a game. But as someone who's used an underperforming PC my entire life i probably wouldn't notice. And the fact that this game has issues is understandable, almost no game recently has had a great release, but hate towards people who have no control over that is just sad. Love to see your content biffa as well as many others in the community! Keep it up through this dark time ❤
I have been watching your videos since you started working on tealand :) You have progressed quite a lot in terms of city planning. I like how you gradually reach different milestones (focusing on one aspect of city planning at a video). Keep it up!
5:52 For the complex bend tool, think of it as the curve road tool doubled, which allows you to create the same shape in less clicks. To do it correctly: Your "first click" should be the road you are starting from, or just a starting point if you have no road. Your "second click" should be mostly straight out from your road but also in the general area of where you want the middle of your bend to be (not the actual middle of the path you are taking, but where you want the middle of your bend). So closer to the starting point if you want the curve to happen sooner, midway if you want the bend to be in the middle, and far away if you want the bend to be later. Your "third click" would be in line with the road you plan on tying into. Your "fourth click" will be connecting to the road you are tying into or ending point if there is no road yet as this click will build the road. In the simplest terms I can think of is you use this tool to draw something like a Z and the final product will look like an S. Of course, the exact angles of the Z can be anything, even something in the shape of an L with a bar on top, it doesn't really matter, even perpendicular, such as if you deleted a leg of a 90 degree corner because you decided it was too sharp for what you want, which would then result in a curve that looks like a question mark. The flexibility in this tool is that depending on where exactly you plot your points, you can force the the S to have different curves such as a super sharp curve on the first bend and a real gradual bend on the second curve as an example. You can also draw a box and it'll create a nice U curve great for drawing in switchbacks in one go. Again, depending on where in space you actually plot your points you can influence the shape of the curves.
As much as I would love a PC that would be able to run this I cannot at the moment, I will either wait for either the specs to be reduced with optimisation or till it is on console then buy it there. I am hoping that CO and paradox are trying to build at game that lasts for as long as the original. I know Biffa said to leave some love for other youtubers but this is the only one I watch city skylines 2 on. I wanted the big tea spoon to know, over the last few years of being a patreon member, you have helped me relax, help my anxiety, help get me back on a more even keel, I love the way you have stayed positive and giving the right message out, just look at a lot of AAA games coming out loads have serious bugs or optimisation issues that improve over time.
I've always have watched your content you have created. It's actually quite relaxing to watch as you go thru the process of planning and building. I have the original City Skylines and played it for awhile but grew frustrated, tired and exhausted and gave up given all the updates and changes that caused so many issues having to fix alot of things that took alot of time to get my cities back in order. For the time I was able you play it, I enjoyed it. I didn't rant and rave and hate on it, I just quietly let it fad away. This version looks more user friendly and fun, but, I cannot afford a new system to run and play it, I was barely able to run and play the original but it worked in spite of the issues I had to worked around. I am content with watching you and other content creators and will continue to watch. I want to thank all the content creators for sharing your inspirational creativity.
From the content creators, to the developers, the modders, the viewers, and players, this community has been one I have grown to cherish over the years. Beyond the early hiccups of this new launch, I have nothing but optimism and enthusiasm for what I have already seen and what I expect to come down the road. To those who expect perfection right out of the box, I'll quote one of my favorite content creators and say "don't let perfect be the enemy of good" and there is definitely a lot of good here..
8:09 You've constructed tracks with a radius of about 80-90 m, which is definitely too small. In urban settings, tracks typically have a radius of at least 300 m, and for high-speed trains, it can be 1000 m or more. Using larger radii not only ensures realism but also enhances the overall appearance of your city.
New Tealand brought me to watching CS. I'm not even playing the game myself but only watching you and other creators having fun and telling stories with the cities you guys are building. I wasnt aware about the hate towards the game and you creators there is around these days and it made me sad to hear about it. So let me say this: Thank you for your enthusiasm and for your dedication to bringing people joy and entertainment for all these years!
You know Biffa, I do not comment on a lot of content creators. not for any reason. just don't. doesn't mean I don't like them. I like a lot of content creators if not all of them. You just made me respect you even more because of what you mentioned in the last bit of this video. I know you recorded this a month ago. but thank you for what you said, from a small content creator finding his own feet still it means a lot. and I am going to do just that actually. show support to all I subscribed to. and to you Biffa, thank you for the amazing content you are creating. I have learnt soooo much from your vods and others. so thank you. A little respect and positivity goes a looooong way.
Kudos for that last part Biffa, and I wholeheartedly agree. I followed one of the big Planet Coaster channels for a long time and when I eventually unsubscribed, it was because every video was just about the frame rate and game performance issues, rather than being about people's parks and coasters. Sometimes you gotta just let it go and remember to have some fun while there's a sun in the sky. Cheers to you sir.
I really enjoy watching your channel. I've subscribed for several years now and I watch every episode. You are doing a great job, Biffa, especially with your attention to detail and helpful advice for all your viewers. City Skylines 2 will be a challenge for many of us, but thankfully we have you and others who post these "how to" and "here's how I fixed this issue" videos for us to learn from. Keep up the good work, Biffa, you're the best!
I love the content, appreciate everything. Can't imagine what it would have been like without you, City Planner Plays, OE, etc. Can't wait for the game to mature with user content, gonna be awesome.
Biffa, I thoroughly enjoy every single video you put out concerning CS1 and/or CS2. I learn so much watching your videos and try to mimic what you do but end up failing hard. I too have seen the hate and hope it settles down soon because I dont want to see creators quit showcasing their talents.
I think once people stop comparing CS1 and CS2 the bad reactions will start to wane. There aren't many games coming out that are able to run smoothly on every single PC, it's not possible without continuous updates. But what the devs are doing is amazing. If you can give them true constructive feedback, they'll know what they'll need to fix, etc.
I agree biffa i play on a 1090 and it plays great! I left a great review for the game because I honestly didn't find any game breaking issues and the developers were working on the game quickly. I love your videos been watching since cities 1 I didn't realize you had this channel till now though thank you for spreading the love i always worry that all those people who are so negative towards games all the time will stop us from getting cool games in the future. You are awesome thanks again!
I'm watching you Biffa since years and I love your content. This is a new game and we should all keep in mind that nothing is starting perfect. Pls keep the videos coming, I love them❤
46:59 We all appreciate the work you are doing, continue that great work ! You need some great comments too ! 😉 You will deserve that million when you will get to it !
Hello, Biffa. :) Just commenting to you in relation to the message at end of the video. Thank you for all the fun videos and your wonderful attitude. :) To make this not just fluffy comment, I think you are suffering from the texture loading bug. The game sometimes doesn't load the textures properly. You can force a reload by changing from trilinear to bilinear and back. This usually fixes it the entire time you play. But, you will have to do that again whenever you start the game. Some others were suggesting changing MIPS from 0 to 1 and back, but the TriBi trick works just the same and is easier (for me).
If you might have noticed, when using the Cargo Train Terminal, the trains go in and out the same way. This means that the locomotives will be on the wrong side of the train half the time (the game unfortunatly doesn't shunt the locomotives). You can fix this by creating the illusion of shunting and making use of the one way tracks and a stretch of two-way track. The train will back out the cargo terminal, follows the one way track to a 90 degree two-way track and go out in the direction of its destination via an one-way track out to the main railtrack. Of course coming in you will have the use the one way track also, to create a sort of triangel of one-way tracks. Hope this makes sense ;) And what @billyswong said earlier is correct, the double track in the rail yard is the same as the most far one from the stationbuilding in the passenger station, its a go-through track. Love the game btw, and allthough my computer doesn't appreciate playing at on full power, turning down a few settings makes the game enjoyable enough till te issues are esolved or I buy a better system ;)
When you spoke of the kind words we should spread, I thought you were right. Since you are the only CSL content creator I watch, I feel obliged to leave a few kind words: Biffa, I'm watching your content for some years now. And I really enjoy it. Not necessarily because of the way you play, but because of the way you are. It's like listening to a friend talking about his favorite game. So whatever you think you need to do, just do it and be yourself. And keep in mind: Haters gonna hate. It's not your fault.
Thanks to you and City Planner, I have finally managed to get my city under control and start earning money, not to mention that meshing both your ideas together. I think the city actually looks quite good. Love the content
I cannot believe that haters are disrespecting and making hateful comments towards creators. CS2 is a great game and I love the fact that the developers have listened to players and included some of the functionality that was previously a mod. There may be minor issues with the game but these games are extremely complex and these problems will be fixed. I’m astounded at what Biffa said about the abuse of creators. They do a great job and and a service (and yes I watch several). Please, please keep up the good work guys. The vast majority support you wholeheartedly.

@@Merecir haven't actually paid attention to the train spawning, but I would assume so yeah. But he probably knows that as he's just using it for outside connections
@@Merecir Not in my experience. They seem able to spawn from any of the connections.
The Fact that the Botanical Garden (and many more buildings) have so much detail inside them is amazing. I would guess that over 90% of players would probably never try to go inside those buildings but its still there. Very impressive although not necessary

Hello Biffa; I'm almost 40 years old and you made buy a new computer and my main purpose was just this game. I have been watching your every video for a long time (4 years maybe) and all I want to say is thank you very much for making me sitting on a computer to play games again (even my wife is not so happy about it :D ). I'm still struggling with economical issues in my city but anyway we are learning as you said. Thank you again and greetings from Turkey.
Through experimentation, I've found out that if you cut the tracks down by 5 meters, you can directly cross over them with a road on ground level.
The low usage of the buses is because there wasnt enough buses for them to use it as well of course as your $50 ticket more buses make them faster and with cs2 will get more usage
As of this posting, 2023-10-28, there is a confirmed bug (by CO) that exporting out of cargo train, sea and air do not work. The trucks come in to fill the warehouse with excess goods but nothing is ever shipped out. That's the general consensus of the bug. This is not you Biffa, but the game itself. The devs are investigating and hope to have a patch soon.
Where has this been confirmed by CO? All I've seen is reddit posts on it 👍
I've noticed this myself as well, lots of goods going in but the ships leaving empty. storage in the harbor is piling up
I’ve had this happen with me too

Hi everyone. I just wanted to pop in and shed some light on this situation as resource management in Cities: Skylines II is, unfortunately, affected by a few bugs at the moment. We are aware of this and currently investigating these issues:
City services only trade with outside connections, even when storage companies in your city have the resources they need. They should of course be able to purchase the resources your city produces locally.
Harbors are mainly trading with your city’s storage companies, not other zoned buildings or city services. As you would expect, they should be able to trade with all zoned buildings and services, allowing your city to import and export through them.
We’re investigating reports that indicate the cargo terminal is affected by the same or an issue similar to the harbors.
It’s also worth noting that transportation distance affects costs. We expect that your businesses will prefer the closest storage facilities over a further away harbor/cargo terminal, however, that does not explain the reports we’re seeing.
I want to apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your reports. The information you provide us is very valuable in narrowing down these issues, and should you encounter any other issues or unexpected behavior, please make sure to report them on our support forum. Response times are a little slow at the moment, but we are working our way through all of your reports and greatly appreciate them and your patience. Thank you.
This is from paradox Forum i dont think iam allowed to post links but i will try it in the next comment
Edit: my comment with the link got deleted. You can find the link in reddit at r/CitiesSkylines there is a post with this exact statement and in the comment is the link
@@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines Devs commented on the bug on the forums confirming that it exists and they are working on it

The detail in CS2 is just phenomenal!
One suggestion for this city would be to add a bus line from the railway station to the main part of the city - maybe that could run to the tower blocks rather than diverting the purple route - I'm sure that would increase the number of people travelling by train, and reduce traffic on the roads.
Your my favourite cities creator so know your appreciated my dude, my love.
Im going to reiterate many of the comments and also say thank you for what you do Biffa, you have literally given me an entirely new perspective of Cities Skylines 1 and 2. All games have growing pains - cities skylines 1 wasnt all that awesome until it got its legs under it and the mod community went to work - I believe the same thing will happen with CS2. I have nothing but love for ya man! Thanks for all the great content.
Biffa, you're a very wholesome creator and I appreciate you and the City Skylines community.
Thankyou 😁
Biffa- if you’re looking for realistic one track train lines:
Have 2 track main lines where it’s busy
Have 1 track dedicated for local traffic- usually internal. Add some 2 track sections for passing sidings.
Junctions should be a single track extending from the double main (so 3 tracks) and branch your things off of that- cargo stations, yards etc. then reattach that line (called the yard lead) back to the main
I love how you talked about watching the slope when laying the tracks, just before building a high bridge crossing the motorway XD
46:26 we appreciate all that you do biffa 100% i like others sit and wait out the days I know your posting to watch your videos and many other creators for CS2 but I enjoy yours the most.
I feel like this game needs more ducks. Ducks in the water. That would be nice
Clickable like in Rollercoaster Tycoon? Would be nice
They have deer, why no ducks?
Thank you, Biffa for all your Cities Skylines Videos. Both from the original game and 2 as well!
I love you, I love Colossal Order and Paradox, I love this community and being a part of it.
Hi Biffa. I've been an avid watcher of your city fix videos over the years (since 2019) especially when I was trying to look over some Cities Skylines tutorials over youtube. This is the first time I'll leave a comment in your channel, and I'd like to say I really appreciate your content! To be honest, I do not have a good end pc right now and the budget to buy the game, but seeing you play the new Cities Skylines 2 and show us the features around it makes me feel that I am playing the game too. Hoping for more CS2 content from you and please do enjoy your cup of tea!
Hah! Lorem Ipsum text inside the botanical garden. It makes sense that they'd shortcut that but given the rest of the effort put into it, I'm almost surprised that they didn't make up some "proper" text since it is legible when you put the camera in there.
That's what it's called 👍
I have seen a lot of people complaining about the framerate on high end computers even faster then mine. For myself i got also somme games that where loosing FPS en not working like they got too. But i needed a new HD and bought one SSD 4TB. i transfered my old games from the normal HD to my SSD. This solution worked for me. No more lag and very fast gaming. To give one example...on my old HD i needed about 20 miutes to load cities skylines 1 with all the mods. With the SSD i only need less then 2 minutes to loqd the game. I hope that this info can help for somme of you. For the rest keep up going the good work and amazing videos pls Biffa. great work and very good comment
These videos are so relaxing to fall asleep too (in a good way)
Glad you like them! 😅
I did have an issue with this game at first. It kept causing my device to reboot on its own, however I found a way to help with that. Since finding a fix for it, I haven’t had much issues with the game. It does occasionally crash but when it doesn’t, I have a blast playing this game. Of course since it came out there are bugs that hopefully get fixed. And I’m more than ready for mods. Other than those complaints, I really do love the game. I enjoy watching your videos Biffa, they are fun, entertaining, and very helpful!
Thanks for the video! Love the series❤! Been enjoying it too much that I wish u could post daily haha!
I agree with your ending statement so much. Listen, I played Cities skylines 1 on the switch so anything is better than that. We love you Biffa and CO!!!!
Thank god you put out this video. I just lost 11 hours worth of building and I can't be bothered to turn the game on again right now. Lol.
😬
28:52 Whoever wrote those words after "egat gravida" (near the top left of the comic page) knew exactly what they were doing..!! 😂
I bet this is going to be a banger like normal. Keep up the good work been watching you since 2020 and you and your videos helped me get through 2020. Cheers man!
Thankyou 👍 😁
We are thousands enjoying CS2! Devs, creatives, please continue and don't take care about the haters! Almost 80 hours playing and even if some issues still need to be fix, we already love it ;)
And thank you Biffa for your work !
Thanks, will do! 😁
thank you so much for posting soooo much and the videos are still really good quality, everyday I can't wait for the next episode!!
You're welcome 😊
I have a pretty good pc. And I see some issues. But it's a BIG game and people need to understand that.
After the last patch I can already see and feel the changes and I am here for it.
It's unlike some other game creators that I will not name but alot of people will know what I mean, that put out a bugged game and NEVER fix it but ask ALOT of money or even micro transactions.😅
Thabk you for your amazing work Biffa! Been watching for a couple of years now and I am always curious to see what you build next!
You and City Planner Plays, Yumble, Overcharged Egg and many more creators are doing such a good job showing people how it's done and teaching certain stuff! I can't with people that think hating on creators (or people in general) is gonna make stuff better.😅
Biffa do you know that you can place your own bridges on top of your roads and you can also place your own rail road bridges try trying it its really really really true
And also your the best
Lovely sentiment at the end, Biffa - it is a great community and a shame some bad eggs have to try and damage that.
I'm a console player so have to live vicariously through you and other creators to see a game played to a level I will likely never experience myself, so appreciate everything you guys do.
Thanks for all that you do. You, your fellow creators and the developers are doing an excellent job. CS2 is already incredible and I can only imagine how much better it's going to get in the future. Here's a toast to the best city playing game out there! 🎉
Seeing how much CS1 improved over the years, I'm so excited about the future of this game when we get mods and DLCs.
Appreciate all your hard work Biff. Hope you're having a great start to 2024!
this video was exactly what I beeded today
Well said Biffa. Hate is always foolish; love is always wise. Stay safe everyone and enjoy the game.
Absolutely in love with this series, thank you biffa
You are so selfless, thank you for supporting the community and keeping everyone happy :)
Thank you Biffa for your positive support of the community and CS2.
46:00 Thank you for everything
Biffa, I love the output you make for Cities Skylines 2. The game for me is great apart from the couple of crashes per session - but I save regularly, so not too much of a hinderance due to the fast load speed. Look forward to seeing more from you and watching as the game develops and is refined. 300 hours in, so got my moneys worth for sure. The haters as you say, gonna hate on virtually anything: A definate danger when people who are not really into the game start their rants.
Love the inclusion of the botanical garden! Can it get renamed or made a district? If so, can it be called Dew Gardens - a take on Kew Gardens in London?
Or perhaps Brew Gardens
@@jonathanpick1668 OOooooo! Actually that is better! I wished I had thought of that!
Binged watch your playthrough. It's so cool having the city together. Thank you for your amazing work 😊
When you are early and saw the spelling mistake 😅
Was just wondering what beeds meant. Lol
Oops 🤣
I thought it was a Mardi gras event
😅😅😅
Hi Biffa. A bit of story time based on the end of this video, which is another great video, so thank you for that. I was worried about my potato running the game. It's a 4 year old pc I built to be higher end, but in today's technology most likely a mid range. When I got the game I loaded it up just to see. A lot of stuttering, lags, and freezes. So I disconnected everything, took it apart and started taking notes for new parts. Kind of wishlist mostly but, I found the problem and solved most of everything. When I built this rig, it speced out as needing a 1000w psu. The psu I bought was dead out of the box. So I stuck in the old 750w I had on hand from the old rig. When I started it up everything seemed to be running ok so over time, I just simply forgot the psu issue. When I saw the psu I decided to start there. I bought a brand new 1000w, it was only around $140 US, shipping will add on to that of course, I installed it. Now I can play Cities 2 almost no problems. I do have everything turned down, but I'm ok with that. So my adivice to all those angry, start small. It may just be that you only need to upgraded a PSU. I only follow 3 Cities creators so I think I'll paste this to the others as well.
The stop signs go on the side you click, not on all sides, same as the crosswalks. So you dont have to worry about using them👍
nice thanks for the tip
would be also nice if there was a option for "give way" and "yield" signs setup
For real? Maybe I just clicked in the middle. That would be bad if the early access people didn't realize this. Haha
@@faustinpippin9208 I've seen people make give way junctions by right clicking with the lights option, but there should be a way to force it like you could with TMPE since it was probably one of its most useful features.
I really love the data that the cargo stations offer. Not just x number of tons of cargo, but a breakdown of the specific type. It doesnt matter to the overall gameplay, but its one more new level of detail thats great
I'm really excited about this game. My plan is to watch UA-camrs play it until most of the issues are fixed, then I'll buy it and play for myself 😁
Game is pretty playable even on my potato;)
@@gamesak1still kinda buggy and lack of content right now. still better wait for a couple of months
Appreciate all your content Biffa! Keep the City Skylines 2 coming!
I really wish we could skip winter, it hurts my eyes playing at night 😅
Biffa: "Let's beautify this area a little bit"
Biffa: *adds two car parks*
🤣🤣
Thank you for including about creating a safe space in our community at the end of the video. 10/10 agree. You can be angry, but don't attack the creators or the devs. Thanks Biffa.
Criticism isn't an "attack"
"let's beatify this area" proceeds to slap 2 parking lots lol
Beeds? 🙂
No clue....
Hey Biffa. Responding to your comments on the hate comments. I couldn't agree more. It seems to be the fashion today that a new game is released and the hate community responds in force. I believe it is due to some youtubers who specialize in critiquing games and unforunately they have a bigger audience when they spam hate rather than spam goodness. I block these haters as soon as I can. Just some kind words. I watch your videos because well, they are awesome. Overcharge egg does a great job as well, as does city planner but I always come back to your videos every time a new one is released. Thanks for always being positive.
Beeds
I understand not having a good experience in a game. But as someone who's used an underperforming PC my entire life i probably wouldn't notice. And the fact that this game has issues is understandable, almost no game recently has had a great release, but hate towards people who have no control over that is just sad. Love to see your content biffa as well as many others in the community! Keep it up through this dark time ❤
I beeded this video so badly
47:00 Well said Biffa. A little bit of positivity can change the conversation. I’ve played Cities Skylines for years thanks to your videos.
Please make a video for graphic setting. My picture is so bad.
Cities by Diana has a great video about that topic
Nice work Biffa, thanks for all your videos.
I have been watching your videos since you started working on tealand :) You have progressed quite a lot in terms of city planning. I like how you gradually reach different milestones (focusing on one aspect of city planning at a video). Keep it up!
LOVE how the pantograph bobs about ontop of the trains! Wasnt expecting that detail but i like it.
Really do love the message at the end of this. I think it’s a great game. Loving it and playing it all the time!
5:52 For the complex bend tool, think of it as the curve road tool doubled, which allows you to create the same shape in less clicks. To do it correctly:
Your "first click" should be the road you are starting from, or just a starting point if you have no road.
Your "second click" should be mostly straight out from your road but also in the general area of where you want the middle of your bend to be (not the actual middle of the path you are taking, but where you want the middle of your bend). So closer to the starting point if you want the curve to happen sooner, midway if you want the bend to be in the middle, and far away if you want the bend to be later.
Your "third click" would be in line with the road you plan on tying into.
Your "fourth click" will be connecting to the road you are tying into or ending point if there is no road yet as this click will build the road.
In the simplest terms I can think of is you use this tool to draw something like a Z and the final product will look like an S. Of course, the exact angles of the Z can be anything, even something in the shape of an L with a bar on top, it doesn't really matter, even perpendicular, such as if you deleted a leg of a 90 degree corner because you decided it was too sharp for what you want, which would then result in a curve that looks like a question mark. The flexibility in this tool is that depending on where exactly you plot your points, you can force the the S to have different curves such as a super sharp curve on the first bend and a real gradual bend on the second curve as an example. You can also draw a box and it'll create a nice U curve great for drawing in switchbacks in one go. Again, depending on where in space you actually plot your points you can influence the shape of the curves.
As much as I would love a PC that would be able to run this I cannot at the moment, I will either wait for either the specs to be reduced with optimisation or till it is on console then buy it there. I am hoping that CO and paradox are trying to build at game that lasts for as long as the original. I know Biffa said to leave some love for other youtubers but this is the only one I watch city skylines 2 on. I wanted the big tea spoon to know, over the last few years of being a patreon member, you have helped me relax, help my anxiety, help get me back on a more even keel, I love the way you have stayed positive and giving the right message out, just look at a lot of AAA games coming out loads have serious bugs or optimisation issues that improve over time.
I've always have watched your content you have created. It's actually quite relaxing to watch as you go thru the process of planning and building. I have the original City Skylines and played it for awhile but grew frustrated, tired and exhausted and gave up given all the updates and changes that caused so many issues having to fix alot of things that took alot of time to get my cities back in order. For the time I was able you play it, I enjoyed it.
I didn't rant and rave and hate on it, I just quietly let it fad away. This version looks more user friendly and fun, but, I cannot afford a new system to run and play it, I was barely able to run and play the original but it worked in spite of the issues I had to worked around.
I am content with watching you and other content creators and will continue to watch. I want to thank all the content creators for sharing your inspirational creativity.
From the content creators, to the developers, the modders, the viewers, and players, this community has been one I have grown to cherish over the years. Beyond the early hiccups of this new launch, I have nothing but optimism and enthusiasm for what I have already seen and what I expect to come down the road. To those who expect perfection right out of the box, I'll quote one of my favorite content creators and say "don't let perfect be the enemy of good" and there is definitely a lot of good here..
pleased with the game so far, currently getting 20 to 25fps on steam deck with medium settings various options disabled but to me still looks good.
8:09 You've constructed tracks with a radius of about 80-90 m, which is definitely too small. In urban settings, tracks typically have a radius of at least 300 m, and for high-speed trains, it can be 1000 m or more. Using larger radii not only ensures realism but also enhances the overall appearance of your city.
New Tealand brought me to watching CS. I'm not even playing the game myself but only watching you and other creators having fun and telling stories with the cities you guys are building. I wasnt aware about the hate towards the game and you creators there is around these days and it made me sad to hear about it. So let me say this: Thank you for your enthusiasm and for your dedication to bringing people joy and entertainment for all these years!
You know Biffa, I do not comment on a lot of content creators. not for any reason. just don't. doesn't mean I don't like them. I like a lot of content creators if not all of them. You just made me respect you even more because of what you mentioned in the last bit of this video. I know you recorded this a month ago. but thank you for what you said, from a small content creator finding his own feet still it means a lot. and I am going to do just that actually. show support to all I subscribed to. and to you Biffa, thank you for the amazing content you are creating. I have learnt soooo much from your vods and others. so thank you. A little respect and positivity goes a looooong way.
Kudos for that last part Biffa, and I wholeheartedly agree. I followed one of the big Planet Coaster channels for a long time and when I eventually unsubscribed, it was because every video was just about the frame rate and game performance issues, rather than being about people's parks and coasters. Sometimes you gotta just let it go and remember to have some fun while there's a sun in the sky. Cheers to you sir.
Hey Biff, maybe next to the rocks some more tree farming? And Power stations would be nice to get into and help with the £$¥₩
I really enjoy watching your channel. I've subscribed for several years now and I watch every episode. You are doing a great job, Biffa, especially with your attention to detail and helpful advice for all your viewers. City Skylines 2 will be a challenge for many of us, but thankfully we have you and others who post these "how to" and "here's how I fixed this issue" videos for us to learn from. Keep up the good work, Biffa, you're the best!
I love the content, appreciate everything. Can't imagine what it would have been like without you, City Planner Plays, OE, etc. Can't wait for the game to mature with user content, gonna be awesome.
Biffa, I thoroughly enjoy every single video you put out concerning CS1 and/or CS2. I learn so much watching your videos and try to mimic what you do but end up failing hard. I too have seen the hate and hope it settles down soon because I dont want to see creators quit showcasing their talents.
I think once people stop comparing CS1 and CS2 the bad reactions will start to wane. There aren't many games coming out that are able to run smoothly on every single PC, it's not possible without continuous updates. But what the devs are doing is amazing. If you can give them true constructive feedback, they'll know what they'll need to fix, etc.
I agree biffa i play on a 1090 and it plays great! I left a great review for the game because I honestly didn't find any game breaking issues and the developers were working on the game quickly. I love your videos been watching since cities 1 I didn't realize you had this channel till now though thank you for spreading the love i always worry that all those people who are so negative towards games all the time will stop us from getting cool games in the future. You are awesome thanks again!
I'm watching you Biffa since years and I love your content. This is a new game and we should all keep in mind that nothing is starting perfect. Pls keep the videos coming, I love them❤
hey, i never comment on youtube videos but i love your content and the way you build cities! very helpful and inspiring
Don't think anybody can actually play this bro. Dunno who's gonna need to hear this ngl. Back in February when this is relevant.
46:59 We all appreciate the work you are doing, continue that great work ! You need some great comments too ! 😉 You will deserve that million when you will get to it !
Love what you do. I can't play cs2, but I watch you build your cities. Keep up the good work
Hello, Biffa. :) Just commenting to you in relation to the message at end of the video. Thank you for all the fun videos and your wonderful attitude. :)
To make this not just fluffy comment, I think you are suffering from the texture loading bug. The game sometimes doesn't load the textures properly. You can force a reload by changing from trilinear to bilinear and back. This usually fixes it the entire time you play. But, you will have to do that again whenever you start the game. Some others were suggesting changing MIPS from 0 to 1 and back, but the TriBi trick works just the same and is easier (for me).
If you might have noticed, when using the Cargo Train Terminal, the trains go in and out the same way. This means that the locomotives will be on the wrong side of the train half the time (the game unfortunatly doesn't shunt the locomotives). You can fix this by creating the illusion of shunting and making use of the one way tracks and a stretch of two-way track. The train will back out the cargo terminal, follows the one way track to a 90 degree two-way track and go out in the direction of its destination via an one-way track out to the main railtrack. Of course coming in you will have the use the one way track also, to create a sort of triangel of one-way tracks. Hope this makes sense ;) And what @billyswong said earlier is correct, the double track in the rail yard is the same as the most far one from the stationbuilding in the passenger station, its a go-through track. Love the game btw, and allthough my computer doesn't appreciate playing at on full power, turning down a few settings makes the game enjoyable enough till te issues are esolved or I buy a better system ;)
When you spoke of the kind words we should spread, I thought you were right. Since you are the only CSL content creator I watch, I feel obliged to leave a few kind words:
Biffa, I'm watching your content for some years now. And I really enjoy it. Not necessarily because of the way you play, but because of the way you are. It's like listening to a friend talking about his favorite game. So whatever you think you need to do, just do it and be yourself. And keep in mind: Haters gonna hate. It's not your fault.
😊👍
Thanks to you and City Planner, I have finally managed to get my city under control and start earning money, not to mention that meshing both your ideas together. I think the city actually looks quite good.
Love the content
I cannot believe that haters are disrespecting and making hateful comments towards creators. CS2 is a great game and I love the fact that the developers have listened to players and included some of the functionality that was previously a mod. There may be minor issues with the game but these games are extremely complex and these problems will be fixed. I’m astounded at what Biffa said about the abuse of creators. They do a great job and and a service (and yes I watch several). Please, please keep up the good work guys. The vast majority support you wholeheartedly.
