    The modded industry area, at the end, has no traffic because almost every placed building is just an aesthetic shell with no actual in-game function. As far as the game traffic is concerned, the plots of land inside the industrial area are still sitting empty, which is why no traffic bothers to go into this area.

      Yeah, I can a big flaw in that: Traffic passing through that doesn't have to go to the industrial area is being impeded by the toll booth and by the cargo train stations (e.g. passenger trains). But that's pretty easy to fix by making a bypass lane in every direction on the highway and putting the cargo terminals on a siding instead of putting them in-line with the main track.

    That's because this "industrial area" is just a bunch of dummy cosmetical buildings that dont produce anything. Thus, no traffic generated.
    Showing the revenue values would reveal which industrial area is actually better.

      Yeah, agreed!
      Those people (or modders) actually just play the game to create good-looking cities, but not "experiencing the issues of planning a city on actual growth, demand and a tight budget".
      Ok, my cities look like crap but still, I feel like a mayor. The only mods I use are MOM, Fine Road Tool, Network Extensions 2 and TMPE to improve the vanilla game where it lacks some features. I never use mods like Move It or Unlimited Money, because these just transform CS in a completely new game.

      @@pixoontube2912 No. There is no budget in cities skylines because the whole finance-simulation is badly balanced. If you get over the point where you're city is big enough to get you more revenue then it costs, there is basically no real way back, as long as you don't want to bring your city down.
      The only thing this game is really, really good at, is modding it 'til it's unrecognizable and build some realistic stuff. The only game that maybe competes in this area is probably Transport Fever.
      As a city builder, city skylines lacks a proper traffic sim, but also a good simulation of age distributions between the citizens (death waves aren't a product of your bad planing, but of the developpers lazyness. There's an extremely easy fix for this: randomize the age of the citizens when they move into your town, luckily there's a mod, that does exactly that), no realistic simulation of crime depending on factors like education, wealth, etc. pp. I could argue for longer, but the point is: the games simulation is way to simple for making it a real challenge. If you're having crime-problems, there's one solution: place a fricking police station. You can't help the situation with education, you can't do specific policies on that, you can't increase police presence without adding a station, maybe even move the presence, you can't redesign the the roads and places, because it isn't anything in your city, that induced the crime in the first place.
      Maybe I'm just way to ambitioned, when it comes to simulations, but seriously, don't try to impress anyone with your major skills on this game.
      P.S.: I forgot, with the TM:PE AI, the game also becomes a relatively nice traffic simulation.

      @@MephistoDerPudel I think you misunderstood something: I did not say that I want to "impress someone with my mayor skills". I just said that I don't like that type of gamestyle where people turn CS from a normal city builder (which also means managing something) into a rule-free building sandbox like "Let's turn on always demand, unlimited money and plop everything down as I want just for beauties sake."
      I can agree on most of your points. Still CS is not 100% realistic and dead waves (also resulting in unemployment and "not-enough-workers"-waves) are a real pain. And YES, I know that budget doesn't matter after a certain point. However, I think its still more realistic than starting with unlimited money from scratch.
      But still, CS still is one of the best city builders on the market. *cough* SimCity5 *cough*

    @TSPxEclipse 5 років тому +514

    As someone that works in a distribution warehouse, the "Pro" and "Modder" layouts are flawed in a significant way that makes these examples inefficient. There are 5 main stages when it comes to product manufacturing and distribution: acquisition of materials (either by harvesting them or importing them), storage of materials in warehouses, production of the products (skip these first three steps if products are imported), storage of products in a distribution center, and exportation to stores. Having these processes placed in sequence can reduce the amount of traffic even further and can allow for areas of this size to be expanded upon greatly, possibly to the point of having a full district or specialized city.
    TL;DR:
    Don't just plop down a bunch of buildings in a way that looks nice; trucks shouldn't have to go all over the industrial area just to visit a few locations, so put them in order.
    Train/truck importation > smaller warehouse complex > factory complex > larger warehouse complex > train/truck exportation.

Could even do like an airport sort of, have off ramp(flyover/under style) for both directions at one end(e.g. west end) and open it to a 3 lane one way to the hub, then lead it back to the highway on east end with 2 onramps(one for each direction) making a loop essentially.

      My industrial areas are literally just the same grid I use everywhere else, and it's better than the noob. So long as all the main road entrances and exits are on the Same Side, and there isn't one main central road everything funnels through until it's already on the highway, that's all it takes.
      Then add a one way loop with a rail station, ensuring that the loop joins the grid at points that allow traffic to split up again as soon as possible (heck, split it before it joins, if you can).
      It's a Little more complicated when using the industries DLC stuff... But not really. (You just make a one way loop with everything that's part of the same production chain on the same side of the road the whole way along. Add dead end side roads as necessary when expansion or services are required).
      Then it's just a case of making sure your highway and rail networks aren't rubbish.
      Depending on how the rest of the city is set up (trains especially), that's enough to get traffic flow equal to the pro... While wasting less space, meaning there's actually more industry (and thus more vehicles) using it.
      Admittedly doesn't look as nice though.

If there is a "perfect" traffic flow it's because there aren't any cars in the streets, and that means that no one actually cares about that industrial area, so it's completely useless and non functional, like the modders one that sincerely, doesn't even look good, it's just a bunch of empty warehouses.

Just turn the traffic lights out makes the traffic better no matter what kind of streets you use.
    In deutsch : einfach alle ampeln entfernen oder ausschalten und der verkehr läuft immer flüssig und es gibt sehr sehr wenig stau einfachste lösung ohne komplett umbauen zu müssen. Am besten ist es sogar von anfang an alle ampeln zu entfernen denn stau ensteht meistens nur durch ampeln. später beim ausbauen und verschönern der eigenen stadt kann man dann breitere strassen nehmen, regeln das nur bestimmte fahrzeuge wo fahren dürfen und das nur bestimmte geschwindigkeiten erreicht werden dürfen um denn gewaltig ansteigenden verkehr im späten spielverlauf zu beherschen.

    • @grazzer88

      2 way roads will work in small areas because the traffic is small in volume so the lorries cut each other off at junctions less frequently as they just pass between each other in the gaps in traffic. This will not hold true for larger industrial zones with a greater volume of freight vehicles as the traffic is literally non-stop. Ideally what you want are empty trucks going in one side, all moving in one direction through the I-zone and exiting out the other end fully loaded with goods. The only yielding you should experience are when the trucks stop at their destined industrial building to collect goods. This flow is easily achievable, but poses another problem; that service vehicles have a limited range on one directional roads and often wont leave their base structure if they think they cannot get back (i have this issue with death collection frequently). So you'll have to double or triple up on service structures to achieve coverage or break up the I-zone into smaller loops to scale with the range of the service buildings. UNLESS you have TM:PE in which case you can then create dedicated service roads.

    I admire and respect your talent and skills, imperatur. This layout inspired me to adopt 5 of these into my city and they work as advertised! One thing, no doubt an oversight, is the flow can be improved considerably by changing the direction of 4 roads. Specifically, the 4 roads in the middle. At 6:50, considering the cargo hub as North, the direction of the 4 N-S roads in the middle should be reversed. Doing so maintains a counter-clockwise flow around all 3 (or 6) blocks. Also, in the manner I used them, adding access and egress ramps to the ends of the crossover bridges improved flow even more. Keep up the great work, you're an inspiration for several elements of my city.

  • @xveers
    @xveers 3 роки тому +4

    I'm kind of torn on the distinction between Pro and Modder, personally. In my experience most industrial areas don't have anywhere near the amount of pathways and separation that exist in the Pro version (Unless you're looking at a brand new industrial park built by one developer, in which case kind of). Most times buildings go right to the property line, and if not the fencing for parking/storage yards do. For the Modder, yeah there's usually a bunch of large buildings (warehouses especially), but there's also a complete absence of smaller industrial outfits. An industrial area uses every little bit of space unless it's taken up by a very large tenant or one that has special requirements, and smaller warehouses, manufacturing shops, and other businesses are also in there (as is some commercial! Large industrial parks almost always have a few coffee shops or "restaurants" that are only open during working hours or even just lunch and early afternoon.) So paradoxically, the Modder one actually in my eyes looks LESS realistic than the Pro version.

IMO it takes way too long to unlock some really important parts and I'd pretty much would like to start off with a 3x3 area instead of a single one in a fixed location because this also limits your planning a lot.. IMO it doesn't even make that much sense because the prices for unlocking new tiles are insanely cheap anyway but you're forced to squeeze in all your population into limited space while also leaving big spaces for all the highways, train tracks and other roads you would want to add later
      maybe I'll try an everything unlocked city and get enough loans to properly space out everything next time

      @Quinn_Dissglerio 5 років тому +4

      I saw while watching, that this will not work. The trafic, that comes from south will often go back into the south. This is not included here. And it includes alson ot all the trafic, that started there and will not go into that direction that the side have to go (left side can not go to north, rigth side can not go to south). Also when you have a good working train-System, you will have problems. Cause the train-AI ist dumb and sends to much or to less trains. Also the trafic inside the two areas is crossing itself. There you have to play much more with the 1-way-roads, that it will flow better.
      But I think this can be a good start for an industrial area. But you have to find some more solutions for a city with several thousand of inhabitants and several insdustrial and specialized areas.

    • @MrMartkedisi
      @MrMartkedisi 5 років тому +3

      Even with trains or docks your "Production Buildings" need some raw materials. Separate your storage buildings from your production buildings and try to put their entrance side away from main road. Inner roads (1 way 2 line roads are ok for this) are good to use on storage buildings, if you put them closer to entrance point they will take materials and then go straight across to deliver production buildings. If there are other industrial buildings outside of your industrial area then trucks will carry out some and clog your closest exit, so try to put them closer.
      Also produced materials will go either in to your cities market (blue areas) or out of your city. You would need a separate entrance for mini vans and trucks that carry your productions in to the city.
      If you use this template you should make sure they can deliver goods via train or roads close to your market areas.
      It is more complicated that just this video. This is a good way to use as a template but it depends on your own cities needs.

    • @Thorpe
      @Thorpe 5 років тому +2

      You got to take into account industries can end up delivering raw materials to other industries, various services in multiple areas and exports to other cities. Eventually your highway intersections will get clogged if you haven't been paying attention to all the possible destinations the traffic wants to go. Some traffic may even pass through areas it has no intention of delivering to because highways are exempt from heavy traffic/old town policies. It's just a real pain to manage and keep up with if you're trying to make a creative city.

    The Super-Pro, widens the motorways, keeps the central railway line, throws opposite facing train cargo terminals with middle track running right through the middle line. creating underground roundabouts underneath the two points with emerging road access to the top and bottom terminals. Paths = underground subways to connect workers north and south discretely and you create a super tidy double round-abouted, double terminal interchange with continuous un-interrupted railway line, simple.
