    When placing a path going to the tram station near the farm you were concerned about the river being blocked and moved one end of the path further back to prevent a blockage. However, the other end of the path going over the river blocks the river and you missed moving it to open the river back up (around 31:05).

    Thanks for bringing back this gem!
    If it’s possible, maybe some remote area could still look like the ‘old new tealand’? Beach paths and old beach homes? I imagine this place looked like the South Pacific, but obvs that might not be your vision. I’ve been lucky enough to travel around and I’ve seen ‘modern island culture’ vs ‘old island culture’.
    I thought it might be interesting. Love ya! ❤❤

    Hey Biffa, love this city coming back to life :)
    Here's the feedback:
    10:32 If you prioritize older roads, it will let you keep the zoning on the other streets.
    24:29 An separate bike path along the outside road (upgrade with tram?) would fit in nicely. You could turn the whole riverside in a bike park connected to thronton city park. A small bridge here and there to cross (bike only) would help a lot
    30:05 Why not extend the orange path and follow the train. Go up and over the 3 lane road and just go on from there. Add connections here and there.
    32:57 Just go up and over with the bike paths and connect it to the orange paths in the dock district, creating a biking highway of sorts.

  • @memofromessex

    I loved this episode! The only change I'd make is more and longer cycle lanes along the side of the railway and maybe more interconnectivity with Hickory and Dickory with some paths.

    Dock District has been transformed beautifully!☺ Thanks for putting footage of the tram going about their track at the end, after they got stuck it was kind of a bummer we didn't see it go. I hope it's well used, is it? And have I noticed correctly there's not a stop at the leisure zone? 🙊

    4:52 connect tram with space elevator using underground pedestrian passage under the highway.
    a train station near the space elevator would also make a lot of sense given you already have the line going though there.
    I'd also have another tram line going thought the the Dock district, centered on the train station, rather than keeping it relegated to the side. Also having it turn around on the other side of King's district would be way more efficient.
    also at 26:15 I'd think of making that a dedicated tram track to keep them moving more fluently ;)
    but yeah, overall looks much better than before.
    p.s. at 35:30 I love the walking path to the highway interchange :))) truly a novel way of doing stuff.

    • @AtmoSprite
      @AtmoSprite Рік тому +2

      Yes, I think the thing with education is that new citizens moving in from outside start off with no education and can only be educated through public libraries. If I understand correctly, university requires high school education, high school requires primary school education, and primary school is only available to children born in the city. So you end up with only uneducated adults until you've cycled through a generation (or build public libraries).

    @JMWZ_E Рік тому +2

    I generally like the rebuild ...
    But one thing bugs me ... 16:48 You have a tram depot with upkeep cost for a single line with just 10 stops - 16:09 a line that is running parallel to a commuter rail line which could have an infill station with just slightly higher upkeep costs. And the tram line is mirroring parts of a bus loop.
    18:49 might be a view that inspires to grow the single line into a mini-network with spurs connecting neighbouring areas or areas further away from the rail tracks replacing bus services.

  • @Pystro
    @Pystro Рік тому

    The turn-around for the tram near the forestry looks like it would fit a large factory really well. Having a large employer located there would at least give the tram a reason to stop on that side of the stream but without going all the way to the forestry zone.
    Or if there's no unique factory left to place down, maybe some garbage/ water/ power/ warehousing facilities.
    And maybe you could move the tram depot there. It would be an employer; It's sufficiently industrial to border the forestry; And since it's owned by the transit agency they'd have an elevated interest to get their workers there.

  • @piervail

  • @ghostflames1501
    @ghostflames1501 Рік тому

    My idea for a challenge:
    Hyper dense residential district. One small area, maybe four grid blocks or so, of high density buildings that are set to hold one thousand families each. Total amount of buildings: 80 (20 per grid block). That would be 80,000 families in a very small space.
    The challenge would be setting up the rest of the area to deal with that massive amount of people in such a small place. Commercial and industrial needs could fluctuate heavily, emergency services could go from unused to overburdened within in-game hours, all forms of transit can be choked at any time...just a fun mess. For added difficulty, don't allow bulldozing or removal of buildings that fail until the demand rises and the game actually reinvests in that building.
    Could be fun, and teach us all some stuff to make our vanilla cities even better!

    As it is, you've made a very nice mini-city. My only quibble is about the changes you made to the banks of the serpentine river, on the right. 31:00 You built a dam without realising it!

  • @CouchPotator
    @CouchPotator Рік тому +1

    I'm pretty sure the "Educate more citizens" means you just need to wait several years for the citizens there to go through the school system. For uneducated adults, you can add libraries so that every year, they will have a random change to increase a level. You can also figure out what other services they need nearby (mail?) and raise land values and that will allow some buildings to upgrade anyways.

  • @DeanShirley818
    @DeanShirley818 Рік тому

    There is no need to overlap bus & tram along the same road. Creates too many traffic interruptions. Busses/trams are essentially the same level of public transport so if you have one servicing an area/route you don't need the other. You're basically creating twice the traffic for twice the price. That why so many cities replace trams/street cars with buses and why very few new cities have them. Buses are more adaptable and easier to route/reroute and require less road maintenance. So my suggestion is, if you're going to run that long tram route along the main artery, ditch the long bus routes on that same attery and just run local/short bus loops at the neighborhood/district level. There is a hierarchy to public transport just as there is a road hierarchy. You wouldn't build to identical roads on top of each other. Why do it with public transport? ;-)

    35:54 - you have a ramp for a right turn AND a dedicated right turn lane... perhaps change that right turn lane into straight on and then you'd either have 2 lanes for straight on and one for turning left OR also change the middle lane to left turn and you'd have 2 left turning lanes... depending on the flow of traffic.

    Instead of two pedestrian bridges, one on either side of the vehicle bridge, perhaps a pathway from one side to the other could go under the bridge for vehicles and that would eliminate the need for the second pedestrian bridge across the river. The main bridge might need to be a bit higher and start earlier on each side to accommodate the pathway underneath.
