Do you ship globally?
Since this map has so many islands you should name it Hawatea like Hawaii but with tea. For the parking spots in the pedestrian shopping area down the center you could try and set up a theme that just does not have buildings in it that come with parking.
the first resident was faith so Faith city
ArborTea Commons
City (or district) name ideas: Equi-tea Springs, Clari-tea Creek, Fort Liber-tea, Seven-tea Acres, Nobili-tea Ridge, Trini-tea Rivers (with or without the hyphens, at your discretion, of course!)
One downside to biffa starting a new city... I cant binge watch the entire series right now from start to finish 😆 excited for whats to come
I sat down to binge this series and didn't realize it was Ep.1 until the end! haha >.
My plan. I'm going to watch the new city, while still bingeing New Tealand. Once I finish New Tealand this city might be finished and I can binge and rewatch this new city but back to back. 🤣
Absolutely LOVE BWing Biffa series!
Relatable
Wouldn't that just make it easier to binge though? ;)
Wow! Thanks for choosing our map! Looking forward to the rest of the series!
Hi, i do really enjoy what you did with that map really great to see people coming together for this kind of stuff.
The Starting Square..."Hey I know! Lets make our highway ignore the optimal,direct route & put in this giant detour that makes everyones journey a little longer"
@@davebruneau6068 what
Thank you, for being you
@@Mellonix
I guess he just meant the curve.
I just want to say that your videos are so calming, entertaining, and pleasant. They’ve been something to look forward to for YEARS and I’m so excited to see your mastery at work!
Thanks :-)
It's true
I first found his channel as i suffered through long haul covid (aug 2020) and it was such a blessed distraction from what was happening in my body.
As addicted I am to watching these build a city series so is my cat surprisingly! He loves sitting in front of the TV and chase all the cars 🤣
Can't wait for more!
Thank you faceart.bykarin and your cat! :-)
We need a video of your cat trying to catch the cars! ^^
@@PerfectAlibi1 I do have it 😄😄
Your cat is wise in the ways of the Skylines.
I think a good challenge for this one is to keep the landscape meaning no any form of terraforming.
100% agree. Just keep it real. In real life we can't just level mountains to make way for a city. We have to work around the environment as much as possible.
It would be cool if you had to invest in education first, develop an engineering industry which you then hire for landscaping projects. You can then level a mountain but its costs enormous money and investing in the project would affect the overall economy, inflation and peoples opinion. Just flattening a mountain in 2 minutes then plop houses with no city reaction takes all the spirit out of the gameplay.
@@alex72194 we do indeed build and destroy terrain in the real world.
@@Sleinskyjin some places where it can be afforded, sure
Name proposal: TEAster Islands -> this maps geography is similar to the Easter Islands 😄
Already liking the way this new city is turning out ❤
For the parking spaces in the pedestrian zone, you could build a 1u service road at the back of the buildings to make them fit in. This may not be Blightea, but that’s quite common in the UK. Then the rest of the space behind the commercial buildings can be used for more residential zoning or decorated green space
I think the eco-zoning is causing the abundance of car parks. Perhaps there’s an alternative zoning specialty we could use for this area to get the vibes we’re looking for?
@@andrewhill7073 Honestly we just need to let the asset builders spin for a little while and do their thing. A lot of late Victorian/Edwardian commercial buildings would absolutely do well in Pedestrian zones, and those dual-use contraptions Biffa showed a few weeks ago, as well as some new low-density commercial assets built specifically for Ped-zones.
Hi Biffa :) The trouble you've got with not enough water in the pipe when you have plenty of water ability, it could be that you've got another source of water on the map, so it counts into your water ability (like people working at a harbor you haven't build). Anyway, great map and great new start of a city !
For anyone trying to get the look that biffa has. He has used my ‘Italian coast theme’ not the Laviente theme that comes with the map.
Hey 👍😁 Thankyou for such a fantastic map, I'm loving it 😁
@@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines Thank you for playing on it. Always great to see people enjoying themselves. That's the most satisfying when making maps.
Thank you so much, I was wondering why it was so dark when I started with the Laviente theme. Cheers! Yee!
@@feartheduck Ditto!
thank you so much, trying to figure this out for weeks :D
Because the Map reminds you of New Tealand, I‘d like to suggest *Sulateasi* or *Sulawetea* as a name for your City. Irl Sulawesi is one of the big Indonesian Islands btw. The Island is also called Celebes sometimes, wich would be *Tealebes* or *Ceteabes* if you include a tea pun.
There's a cute little California beach town called Carmel-by-the-Sea... so I was thinking for our new city, Caramel-by-the-Tea. Might be a little on the nose, but I think it's cute!
Next to monterrey isn't it?
@@paulknight5018 Yes!
Well to be fair you could do that with any city that has the -by-the-sea Ending with it. But certainly a nice suggestion!
Don’t you mean Mon-tea-ray?
Love the choice of map, I can see a sprawling city but also small towns. I can't wait to watch this grow!
Thank you MagicalMac :-)
Oh Mai, finally got the OG biffa himself playing on my map. bucket list ticked off. Next target a custom map just for biffa!!
Ooh maybe for the next city 😁
@@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines hunt me down when you are ready and we will sort it out
I'm a bit surprised that you already go for a new project, but I'm not complaining
And I really like the ideas you already bring to the table with this one way system in and out of the city
I really hope this new city will become just as pretty as New Tealand
May be off base here but I haven’t felt the love for the other two in months that was in every episode of new tealand. I’ve gotten halfway through builds only to start new cities many times, nothing wrong with it.
Gorgeous map! How about 'Teavanger' like the Norwegian Stavanger or Teasund /Teasound (similar to the geographic term Sound?) I think that would suit the map
I wish you would unlock all the tiles from the get-go for once, instead of following the vanilla progression. I think the vanilla way of doing it constrains you to building everything right next to each other, while unlocking all the tiles would allow you to have little hamlets and parks all over the map - making everything more interesting and unique. Excited for the new series either way.
I don't know about a city name but the entire region could be called "The Aegis Archipelago". This comes from a few things. "Aegis" means "to support something" and we support Biffa and the builders of the map. The map creators first letters make up AEGIS and aRchipelago" Alleycat, E6gsy, GeekGirl (I tried to use the Q but couldn't), Ingenium and Snakus. The R in "Archipelago" is for random5 and an archipelago is a group if islands which this map has. I know it's not perfect but something to consider.
That certainly was a lot of words
Looks great so far!!
One suggestion about the commercial in your pedestrian area:
If you want ones with less parking lots, try the *Wall-To-Wall* specialization. You can't apply it to a pedestrian area though, so you have to make a district over the pedestrian area, and then apply it to that. The closer buildings might fill out the space too and give a denser look (if you want that).
Excited to see more, love the direction you're taking and the goals you have! Thinking about buses or trams yet? :D
I'm SO EXCITED to get in on the ground floor of a NEW CITY!! LET'S GOOOoooOOOO!!!
Just started playing this game a few weeks ago, and quickly learned Biffa was one of the best. Thanks for talking things out as you do them, like "frontage" roads. Learned something new today! And good god, this map is beautiful.
Biffa, loving the new series. It would be a massive help if you could put the series name and number of the episode in the title to help us that want to watch these in order in the future. Keep up the great work.
Heck yea! 45 minutes of soothing Biffa voice over while teaching one of the hardest parts of the game!
:-)
I like the idea of naming the city Morgantown after our first resident Faith Morgan. Especially since I'm sure "why is it called Morgantown?" will be less and less obvious as the series goes on.
I came to suggest Morganville for same reason 😊, If someone would be filling to forego a tea-name.. and then I found that there’s a company called Morgan’s brew tea…. So I think our suggestions are back in😅. Whaddaya think, Biffa
Related, I'd rename the "Moore" area to "Morgan", since it basically consists of the blocks either side of Morgan Lane anyway.
Ooh I can't wait to see your new city Biffa! Thanks again for the tips, always appreciated. It looks like a great map to put your ideas onto!
Thanks! Laura Proulx :-)
Always refreshing to see a new city get built from scratch. As for a name, how about Teanolulu (a play on Honolulu in Hawai'i)?
I know this video is about a month old by now but hello again biffa
I've been away from watching Cities skyline content on UA-cam some time. I felt burned out on this game. Despite this i continued to be a member and now i am excited to follow this new series
Hi and enjoy 😁
Biffa, I'm new to City Skylines and found you when surfing UA-cam for helpful tutorials. I've immensely enjoyed watching several of your fixes vids but looking forward to this series. I've been watching more than playing but I'm learning so much along the way. Thank you for your heart as a teacher!
always love seeing a new city start as nothing is better than starting fresh with so many new possibilities. also, you should make the road in the centre of the pedestrian area a bus lane road and have 2 bus loops going to either side of the district meet up in the middle shopping area.
Hi Biffa. Just to say I am really looking forward to watching you create this new city. I really hope this can be an encapsulating series that brings together everything that cities skylines has to offer, as well as the steam workshop, combined with your excellent presentation and charm. Can't wait to see the city grow 👍☕
Thanks! William Skinner :-)
A while back I reached out to you and asked for more how-tos...... I won't take credit for these recent vids that have done just that but I very much appreciate them. One of the amazing things about your cities is your detailing, and detailing can only be done if one knows enough of the mechanics to build a city where all your time isn't spent putting out proverbial fires.
Yay!! A new start, love your attention to detail and planning instead of just building as fast as you can. Couple of points: industry and water pollution and at 31 mins the area should be Morgan after your founding resident not Moore which the game named it? What a beautiful map, naming wise something like Beau-Tea ville archipelago to reflect the work put in by the designers and your love of tea!! Really looking forward to this series, thank you for all your hard work on these videos.
I’m fairly new to CS but I love watching your content. It’s one of very few games where I always lose track of time!
I wonder if there's any way to take some of the car parks that're spawning up (not all of them of course) and turn them into custom pedestrian areas. Like if two of them are together have food carts/food stands on one and benches for eating on the other, making it a designated outdoor food court.
Looking forward to the new series! I'd like to see you one day upgrade the Main one-way roads to something else. I feel like they need the be a "feature" so should be more interesting looking!
Thank you Biffa. Now I know why my industry never works like it does for the UA-cam pros - Rebalanced Industries mod. Needed that one. Probably why I stay subscribed to Biffa he actually provides the full list of mods he is using, corrects mistakes in the video and doesn't make you feel dumb.
Cool start to the city. I'm excited to see the results of your new found passion for micro detailing.
Love the new city Biffa!! For a new city name how about Tea-o de Janeiro?
My suggestion for the city name: Teattle. :)
I'm excited to watch a new series!
For The pedestrian only areas I live near a University where a lot of the roads are pedestrian only. There are a surprising amount of service and utility vehicles that need parking, so having that parking there isn't necessarily uncommon at all.
New map looks fan-flippin-tastic, Biffa! Looking forward to see how this further develops. Just hoping that whatever city this one replaces gets a proper finale episode 😊
The map kina reminds me of Seattle, so how about naming it Teattle?
Also, I've seen areas that have been repurposed from car to pedestrian and business simply put outdoor seating where the parking spots were. I think it would give it a cool vibe if you could put picnic tables or some other seating in the parking spots and leave the parking stripes there.
I always play with no pipes/powerlines. Just make work for early in the game. I never felt it offered much. I'll be interested in seeing how you handle the terrain. I have always struggled with maps that have irregular terrain. Since you are playing with 81 tiles, I hope you will be moving the build around the map rather than a continuous build from the start square. Your English build has been fun, Teattle never really sang to me. But that might be my preference for coastal builds.
Thank you. Yesterday I was thinking "Biffa really needs a new city." And here it is! Really like the map.
My city name recommendation is The Steeping Isles. I think it works on a number of levels, and it's a bit different in regards to the naming pun. Cheers!
Way cool! I can't believe that your playing on a map that I helped to make! Can't wait to see how this city comes along!
how about Cupparinha? in homage to the map makers. It is very beautiful.
Or since Biffa is more brittish than spanish/portugese, could do Cuppa'inya 😎
I just picked up the game after a gap of like 2 years and here comes another excellent Biffa series to watch at the same time!
I've come a long way as a builder from watching you builders & lots of trying stuff out.
Lately, been building regions starting with fishing & rail villages, then branching out in different pockets.
Biffa For next city can you try your hand at an Australian themed City please I would love to see your take on it
Cause there are some amazing Aussie assets particularly in trains
Australia isn’t real
I'd love to see a larger city project like this eventually take on smaller areas or towns with all these various country or culture themes :) So maybe something like an Australian mid-sized town offshoot, a small Norwegian fishing village by the sea, a Dutch styled block or two, etc. all in one project.
@@Yoarashi ooo interesting so it would be like tasmania
pleace no tea or tea relatet city names
Lol, you've not been around here much have you ;-)
@@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines i have been heer all a long time and i want for owns see a city without a tea or tea relatet name
you could as well have asked Biffa to stop saying "Hugo there"...
@@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines if you look at your video: Cities Skylines - Real Time CITY EVENTS Traffic!! #21 Cities Skylines Mods (that is 4 years old) you see a comed of me that is also 4 years old
this map looks beautiful, cant wait to see what you make in this series
Took me so long to get all these mods working!!! Worth it in the end having a blast playing it
i cannot express how perfect the timing is of this series!!! been watching for years, but just recently bought the game & started playing on my own. i'm so excited for this new city!!!
I haven't played C:S in three years, but decided to queue up a Biffa vid, watched this, and subbed to this map and jumped back in. Lots of changes since I was last in the game! Excited to get going!
Brilliant starter video. Unfortunately my PC is dead and until hubby fixes it I'm just going to have to watch. Then I need to fix my mods list as they were struggling to work even though I followed your advise using load order. Keep up the great work.
I literally just started a city yesterday after years not playing. I was looking for guides but a lot are very old, this is perfect timing.
Glad I could help!
i've been trying to figure out the best way to blend the ped area in my cities and most of it feels weird. the way you set it up on here is great! it makes sense and doesn't seem out of place with the surrounding neighborhood!
What a beautiful and structured start into a new city. I‘m excited to see where this is eventually going to end up. Especially with this stunning map. So much potential for some great biffa-ness!
I play on a ps4 but I love watching you play. I’ve just had an awful day at work and find watching you build a great way to relax. Thank you. 👍
What a cool map! Genuinely really excited to see where this one goes. Would love to see some really nice nature preserve areas at some point down the line.
New city build! Just made my Month, mate! Excited to see how it develops.
You go get it Biffa show em what your made of. Love everything you do. Esp when I can watch new cities from the start. Wanted to say sorry about the loss of your HC friend.
You've kept me having fun with this game for years, I hope you keep it going with 2!!
That's the plan! 😁
You just gotta love how the starting highway ramp just looks great, just like a solid bushy package right there 4:12 :D
I'm getting restarted back in Cities: Skylines. Biffa is an entertaining and educational presence, and this seems like a good video to restart with.
Great timing on this new city starter video, im just starting a new city, and im anxious how its going to work, since im building a section, saving the city and sending it to my girlfriend to build the next section, and so on. Ive never done anything like this before in CS.
I love watching you, and a handful of others. I had to return my new prebuilt PC due to some issues with it.. so I will just have to watch and rewatch all your content to give me my CS fix while I build my own PC!
Thankyou Biffa for a new adventure. I have played this game since it came out, over 3000 hours, yet watching you gives me so many ohh and ahhs and of course can do that.. just awesome watching you build. So Thankyou so much for bringing so much joy!
Love a fresh start on a city! Got my notepad ready and a fresh cuppa for the masterclass to begin :D
Love a new city. I have been thinking about building on this map - it's now decided for me
I'm finally at the start of your city series!! can't wait for more!
Welcome aboard!
You said New Tealand and I my eyes started sweating. Miss that series so much, but also looking forward to this. I got the map as well and it is simply gorgeous. Thanks Biffa! 💙
The map looks really nice! Excited to see how you build and populate it!
When I saw that start intersection I knew this would be good starting out with such a strong shape as RCE would put it
Hi Biffa - excited to see you continuing the landscaping detail that the map starts with. Lots of different varieties of plants and trees - please!
I love the nighttime shot at the end. I wish you'd do a night-only series (without mod/gameplay restrictions)
Hey Biffa, I've been watching you for a long time and have learned so many things from your videos and have really enjoyed them. If there was one thing that I would love to see with this city build, its a massive stadium district with multiple stadiums with a fantastic transportation hub, entertainment, hotels, and plenty of shops for sporting fans to visit before and after the games.
I would love to see you play with the superior features of 81 Tiles 2 to ignore the need for pipes and power lines. It is of course more realistic to place these items, but it is a waste of precious time+money when you could instead be focused on building much more beautiful, functional, exciting, and entertaining elements throughout your city! Thank you for providing daily entertainment to myself, my husband, and my cat. We look forward to watching your videos, new and old, every single day after our long days at work. You improve my mental health and inspire me to push myself out of my comfort zone, so I am endlessly grateful for that. Thanks again from all of us!
Oh wow on this map, so nice. I like the way you started this city. I also really like the future proofing on the frontage roads and stuff.
Nice map 😉
Looking forward to see your city taking shape. Have fun!
I'll happily play along Biffa. I seem to be hitting a brick wall at some point or another every time I try to start a city on my own. Best case scenario I just end up with a mediocre looking grid city that I lose all inspiration to continue developing. I hope to learn something by following your thought process.
Just bought this game and following this build. 45 min video takes a couple of hours 🤣 Its a great learning curve.
Wow! A great start to Biffalo Countea! If this was planned in real life England, I think I will spend a vacation there!
Great video, I love how you laid residential out and put pedestrian zone in the middle. Though it's a shame that this map requires so many mods and assets...
Stoked! I swear only you and two dollars twenty are the only ones I can watch when it comes to city skylines.
Looks great already Biffa. I can easily imagine that this series could go 100 episodes, and we'd still be finding little treats around the map!
How does Collabteanha sound?
Loved the first episode Biffa! Keep up the great work!
Nice! Just the right inspiration for the Weekend. I will definitely grab that map and play along.
In BOB at the top there is a button to only remove items from that asset only. I think it only removes it from that instance and not all of them on the map. I use that to remove parking from assets in my ped areas. Great city start! I always love watching!
So excited on this one. I hope this will be a long series.
Regarding the commercial parking lots in the pedestrian area, if you unlock the vanilla City Park items, you could pave over the parking lots and place chairs, tables, trashcans, make seating/visiting areas of it.
Biffa, there is a planning road that has a minimal cost. It has a limited speed, but while your drawing out your plans it may help you save a little $$$ at start
Also the water issue around minute 23ish, is because of the budget. the water can not travel as far, when budget is reduced.
Cant wait to see this one develop, have missed the New Tealand vibes!
Probably want to change the direction of the pedestrian service point road, to coincide with the couplet roads coming off the highway so the trucks aren’t crossing over each other, might cause traffic issues as you upgrade
Hi Biffa,
What a nice treat the new city can't wait to see what your going to do with this one.
i found out that the bridge is how it suppose to be.
The Bolte Bridge is a large twin cantilever road bridge in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
A suggestion for the City name or maybe a district name I put forth the following: Bergamot Hills. It’s the herb that makes Earl Grey Tea taste so good
So excited to see how it will build and transform in to. The map looks amazing I for one will be watch great video as always biffa
Always love a new city!! Can’t wait to see how this develops
Loving the start of the city! The water problem that you had was that you needed to high your economy on water bc you can see on the pipe that it is not blue, so it was a distans problem not a mod problem.
I'm so excited for the new series!
god speed linking your mods and map, Im really enjoying your content more than I enjoy playing the base game itself, I lack a lot of DLC so somtimes I feel like Im missing out
revisiting city skylines i quickly discovered why I left, traffic is bonkers with no real solutions but hopefully these mods will allow me to make my dream city
thanks again biffa
every time I try to enable all the mods the game crashes :/ being that this is only two weeks old im dissapointed to say the least
