➤Cities Skylines Industries:
In one of the most in-depth expansions in Cities: Skylines history, Industry becomes a larger and more meaningful part of the game with this expansion. Players can customize their industrial areas with supply chains for the four different resource types and unique factories. Well managed industry areas will level up and become more efficient. Aside from production chains, there is a new city service for handling mail and the cargo airport eases import and export of factory goods. There are FIVE new maps, new policies, new city services, new buildings (including resource extractors, manufacturers, warehouses and unique factories) and more.
Key Features:
- MAKE IT HAPPEN
Follow your products from harvesting to processing, storage and production, then transport them to commercial zones or export to other cities.
- CAPTAIN YOUR OWN INDUSTRIES
Define an area with the industry area tool and place highly specialized industrial buildings to build and manage the production chain from raw material extraction up to final end product. Industry Areas are divided into four types based on the natural resource they are processing: Farming, Forest, Ore and Oil. These areas can level up upon reaching productions goals and staffing requirements.
- BUILD IT UP, BUTTERCUP
New industrial buildings include Extractors, Warehouse Facilities, Processing and Auxiliary Buildings, Industrial Props and Roads. Unique Factories, such as Food, Toy, Furniture, Car and Electronics produce luxury products, and require a large number of workers, water and electricity as well as input from your industries.
- GO POSTAL
Boost your citizens’ well-being with mail delivery and collection services. Post sorting facilities handle mail between outside connections and the post offices, and new Post Van and Truck vehicles enable the carriage.

lol its like driving in India - seemingly chaos but no accident
Yeah but in India cars don't pass inside each other
As a Indian also with a lot less honking
XD yes
Trust me there is accidents, its offen bikes
@Ace Luis you were correct assuming no one gives a damn.
Speed limits on roundabouts also help a lot. Especially if they use highway roads, the cars on the roundabout are so fast that cars standing at the junction don't have a chance to enter. Limiting speed in the roundabout to 50 kph solves this nicely.
dude thats a mod
@@_chosen_one_anakin_skywalker If you're on vanilla, just use roads with low speeds (like the regular one-ways) instead of highways. The wide roads have a slightly higher speed, so everything still works out fine. You need a mod to _change_ the speed limit, but there still _is_ a speed limit in vanilla.
Thank goodness for roundabout builder.
Love it 👍
Roundabouts suck
Krzysztof Żmuda roundabouts suck for you because you probably don’t make them correctly
@@HollowKZ I play on Console, have 85,000 people in my city, no dlc, no mods, 85% traffic and I have over 20 roundabouts. The only real problem for me is the cloverleaf interchange.
@@cadeh072 make a stack interchange instead👍🏻 works alot better than the cloverleaf.
Random: How are we going to resolve it?
Me, an intelectual: just put the roundabout 🤣
another idea is to use a bridge, so those who want to go straight on, don't have to stop at all. You surely already do this for highways, but you could use a similar way inside your city, with a tiny bridge and separate lanes making sort of a mini clover leave junction, which work great. Great video though with a deep dive into several junctions and how they perform
This is rarely done IRL where neither road is a motorway.
@@thany3 In my country, roundabouts are rarely done as well. In my ~80k city there is only one roundabout, but looking at the traffic, road layout and available space - there should be another 10 roundabouts to make the flow smoother. In other, bigger cities they prefer to put massive, 4-6 lanes near-junction roads and traffic lights with green light phases so short that only 10-15 cars can go through. If there are trams on the same road, it is even worse than that.
@@Kitusiek001 I grew up in the suburbs of Chicago. Where I lived, the entire area was one big grid for the major roads (the neighborhoods were more organic), and there were no roundabouts anywhere. All of the major roads had timed traffic lights, and the traffic wasn't all that bad. Roundabouts are only really necessary when there is a major chokepoint, but if there are multiple ways to get to the same place, traffic lights are fine.
@@thany3 You´re right (so much so that the only example I can think of is in Stockholm), but that doesn't necessarily mean it's not a good idea, even if it's uncommon, and vice versa. Don't get me wrong, I'm not the biggest fan of cloverleaves either, but there might be instances where it could be useful. Also, any road can be used as a motorway, even if it's not classified as a "motorway road" in-game, as long as it has all the properties of a motorway (i.e. no zoning, no at-level pedestrian crossings, no at-level right turns (left turns in RHT), no traffic lights, high speed limits, etc).
But isn't this just the bypass that Biffa covered in the last portion of this video?
I loved this video. A series dedicated to specific parts of cities skylines would be awesome. I've been playing the game for a while now but I always seem to learn something new from your videos.
"As you can see, this is eighty miles an hour -er 80 kilometers an hour..."
Confirmed: Biffa is secretly American lol.
British
@@DylanSargesson ha joke
Yh if you didn't know, Brits mainly use metric but still use imperial measurements for some things (though less and less), and miles per hour is one of them.
@@jonomoth2581 Wow I didn't know that. You learn something every day I guess.
@@jonomoth2581 kph always confused me as a kid. I am used to km/h
Last week I downloaded Cities: Skylines and in the first 2 days I played a whopping 28 hrs and these videos really help me to fix my traffic and let me know which mods to download. Love it, keep it up!
Traffic is the most important, yet the hardest thing to manage in this game. From what I saw, public transport helps a lot (when you click ,,line details" you can see ,,car trips saved" option. That means, that this line reduced by some procentage amount of cars, that without this specific line would have to travel this specific distance in general.
@@Admiral45-10 garbage: are you challenging me?
Tea Junctions, that's all i hear!
Please do a masterclass on moveit! mod - I really want to perfect sunken roads etc
wrote my comment, then saw this one - yes, please, x100!
Anyone else never play this game but watch every episode?
Same
Same in here ;) I think I watched all "Fix your city" movies from Biffa.
I bought the game because of biffa, but I have never played the game (yet)!
@@AndresRodriguezGuapacha bought it and played it.. still a lot to learn cuz my cities (for now) are nowhere near as good as biffs.. 😅
I used to play it. But the unrealistic lane switching on the highways caused me so much trouble and work that I lost interest completely. Now if that was a realistic problem, like in real life, I would have like the challenge but you only spend hours on what is basically a fault in the game its self. People don't stand in a 10 mile traffic jam all in the middle lane while they are on a 5 lane highway.. That's no funn at all. Maybe one day they manage to fix that problem and I'll come back. Its a great game if you can look away from the lane switching problem..
Thank you for making this video. I have played this game off and on for years and this is the first time I'm really making an attempt to solve the traffic problem. Changing the lanes in the roundabouts and the roads feeding them improved my traffic from 65% to 72%.
Glad I could help!
Looks like you forgot about the 3+1 asymetrical road ! Same size as the normal 2 lane road !
Great video anyway👍
for really busy areas this little road is a God-send
I noticed too. Nice vid anyway :)
Was about to comment the same. The 3+1 gives you dedicated lanes without mods.
What there is one in vanilla?
Fantastic video, Biffa! I love hearing your thought process about what works, and _why._ I am really looking forward to your breakdowns on roundabouts, t-junctions, interchanges, etc.
Keep the vanilla tips coming!! I wish I’d bought this on pc but I didn’t so I’m stuck :-D
Something else you could do verging on an actual interchange is use the slip lanes to go right so the only actual traffic going through is turning left. Doing lane math you''d be 3+3, then right slips off and on, 2+2, bypass for straight overs (one set over, one set underground), 1+1 at the intersection and, if large enough area, you could roundabout that with a simple 1 lane one-way. Vanilla fix and may even get away without putting in a traffic light or stop sign.
sounds like an interchange to me, lol
I still remember when in the beginning I was looking for "lane mathematics" mod in workshop ;) I was such a noob then :)
Nicely done examples. :)
A couple of other good ones:
- Divergent Diamond Interchange
- I don't know the name, but there's one that's basically the opposite of the last example you showed. In this one, the central intersection is only used by cars going straight, and the lights just alternate between the two directions. There are then 2-way diagonal roads at all four corners. The cars turning left have a dedicated lane and turn left across a small intersection onto the diagonal road before reaching the central intersection. The cars turning right do the same. This works really well, but the downside is it uses a lot of land.

Was looking for a new cities video
Thank you so much for your videos. When I first found this game I knew it was going to be so much fun but I was useless at it and after watching many of your videos (often multiple times) I can enjoy this game even more!
Loved the pedestrian bridge mod! Searched for it in the workshop and subscribed right away! Thanks for that amazing tip, Biffer!
Thanks for making this! I watch lots of your videos to learn tips/tricks so really looking forward to this series.
This sums up all tips I got from watching your Fix Your City series. I love it, and can't wait for all the magic interchanges I've never heard about. Bring on the cloverstacks, diverging diamonds, trumpets, dogbones and dumbbells!
Awesome content idea, looking forward to this series... been playing cities for about a year and a half now and you've helped me no end in resolving problems throughout the game 👍
This is so helpful and pleasant to watch. Can't wait for the next video on building Intersections!
Great video as always Biffa, hope you and your family are all staying safe
im still to use TM:PE, but from this video, what im most excited for is the timed traffic lights because how realistic it is with 1 lane turning right, and another lane going in all directions. im new to your videos, but the ones ive seen so far have all be amazing, keep it up mate ^^
Great instructional vid! Road are number one of course, but people forget the metro and rail lines. Mistakes there can cause a cascade of problems onto the road. Maybe a combo video on those two modes as well.
This is terrific. Good detail, working examples, mod or no-mod.
i just started playing city skylines like 3 weeks ago, and your videos have helped me out so much. there are so many things i didnt even kno you could do just with the vanilla game
Glad I can help 👍
I'm trying to play vanilla only and using the stop signs on the round abouts works great as shown of this video (not the same as give way signs though)
Fantastic Video as always! Thank you Biffa! Can‘t wait for more! Much ❤️ Have a great weekend! 😊
This was extremely helpful! Thank you for the amazing work you continue to do for our community of Mayors.
I can't wait to hear about the "Tea Junctions" in the next episode! :)
I love this type of video!! It awesome to have a short How-to on these techniques. I personally really enjoy your city fix-its, but I know other player may just want the down and dirty.
I dont have a problem with traffic on pc with mods and stuff. But on console I miss TMPE. its just a pain in the butt
Love this videos! keep at them, they are a great idea. When i first started getting into this game (didnt knew or reddit at the time) i really struggle to get info like this. I never quite managed to put the diferent solutions againts each other, that would be amazing to watch
This is actually great for beginners and even I learned something new - I didn't know about the pedestrian bridge builder mod. Good job.
love the guide have always had a thought like that with bypasses and such or setting up intersections like so glad to see that it works.
This was very helpful, thank you. I've recently got into Cities and I've been applying the tips from your videos and it really does help
Knew the tricks, used them myself already. didnt know about the pedestrian bridge builder, downloaded it just now. thumbs up for that.
👍
I already knew all of this but it was the most interesting 16 minutes in a long time
😁
You did a wonderful job on this one!
Loved this. Thanks so much biffa. I enjoy all your videos.
One of the first things I learned after this game came out was to avoid four-way intersections whenever possible. Also, Biffa, @1:20 that's the Network Extension's 2+1 road; the DLC one is with the other vanilla small roads (the next tab to the left), you just have to scroll more to find it (you can see it @6:26).
Was wondering how long it was gonna be before you started doing tips/tutorials. Love these styles of videos. Gives me lots of inspiration for my own city.
Thanks 👍
Fantastic idea. I'd love to see the do's and don'ts of oval-abouts because I've made some which worked a treat and others which just ended up concentrating the traffic and basically becoming the weak point of the traffic in the area.
Also, you mention interchanges, I'd love to see some ideas on non highway interchanges as sometimes you just have that much traffic or one of those complicated setups where ideally you want say six roads able to swap traffic freely but there's too much going on for one poor roundabout.
Great video I am learning things as always. I would love a really detailed tunnel and bridge tutorial. Thank you for all of your help.
I have an issue with a 2 lane road with monorail that goes over the main highway and it doesn't help that it's near a big industrial section. so how about a deep dive into public transport intersections cuz atm im thinking ill have to change it to a raised roundabout and just connect the monorail over the highway which im not excited about lol.
You'll want Klyte's Road Anarchy, if you can use mods for that one. You turn it on to get the monorail track over a ground roundabout easily.
Sarteth
What about people on console because I’m having similar problems but I can’t use mods
build the highway over the monorail instead?
@@Sarteth it is better to use ingame options over mods honestly, because if you need a mod for a game to work isn't it a mechanical issue the game should have solutions to on their own. As for Pr, It is a bit of work but can you detatch the mono rail from the road with a monorail only section? A bypass road to divert traffic away from the section in question might work too.
You should have atleast 2 ways in and out of every area for cars not counting walk paths as well as public transport. The less need for the cars to be there the better and if there is need give them secondary options to avoid massive overload.
@@Solus749 But the game doesn't have solution to a lot of problems on it's own - Vanilla traffic lights are pretty bad, vanilla roundabouts just don't work like a real roundabout should.
There are many road choices people would like but don't exist.
Without mods traffic isn't an issue because vehicles just delete themselves.
A bypass road is only really good if you use mods to force people to use the bypass or edit speed limits to provide incentive for the AI to use it.
Thanks Biffa! Have a good weekend!
Thanks, you too 👍
@@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines Thanks :)
Great video Biffa! I can't wait for the next one!
👍
I will save all of these to my personal tips and tricks playlist :p
Seriously useful video
Awesome video. I've seen requests for the times traffic light tutorial and I second this. It'd also be great to have a guide on city layout - how to balance RICO zoning. I really struggle with this is the early game most of all.
Ohh, I didn't know about the pedestrian bridge builder mode. That's nice. I've left the game for almost two months but watching Biffa explaining everything so smoothly I kind of want to start a new city. Thanks a lot for the new video and I hope you and your family are OK Biffa.
Biffa's traffic academy :)
I like it.
👍
You helped my traffic flow in my industry. Thanks. 🤩
Happy to help!
When I went to college a few cities over, years ago, there was an intersection not far from the train station and of course one of the connecting roads immediately followed by a railway crossing.
Every morning I walked from station to college, the traffic was jammed and people (logistical masterminds as they are) blocking that intersection and the railway crossing, delaying the train network as well.
All of it can be avoided if folks put in a little more awareness and simply wait _before_ the intersection and the crossing, until the road ahead is cleared.
Some notes for people trying for a drivers license:
*NEVER* stop, stand still, park or overtake on:
1) Intersections
2) Railway crossings
3) Bridges
It's how most of traffic accidents happen, because impatience and awareness don't go well together.
pedestrian bridge builder = mind blown! :D
Amazing content my friend, thanks for sharing!
I'm a huge fan of treating traffic flow like fluid dynamics. You can also double the lanes and half the speed and get the same throughput as before. Or the other way around - half the lanes and double the escape speed. Still works just as well.
Thing is, though, the traffic likes to stay in one lane, even if you have 3 lane roads
Welcome to Biffa School of intersection Part 1.
Thanks Biffa!
Biffa love this video and looking forward to seeing more like it.
Great video, will look forward to more of this series, really informative! I'd love to see a video on city layout design.
Nice idea 👍
I find your videos very useful to me. I have a huge desire to learn how to make better roads and highways. I am pretty much a noob at this game, but you are helping quite a bit! Thanks!
Love your videos! Can you please make a deep dive on setting up trains correctly? My biggest headache right now
Great episode Biffa.
Please do more of these types of videos... Your fix cities is great (and I enjoy watching them) and there are often many hints and tips embedded in the vids, but you often have to watch hundreds of them to find the specific topic. Or you quickly forget the tip shown as you spot something else you'd like to mimic. But specific videos that cover certain topics, like road junctions, how to set-up roundabouts, how to build/setup/best motorway junctions, where to place things like Industry, shops, etc. How to lay railway, metro etc etc. quick 5-10 videos in a playlist covering all those topics would be invaluable to casual players....
Fabulous Video! At the end of the vid, you asked for other suggestions: Some I mentioned above, but I think the following would be useful: How to lay out Industry, Residential and Commercial successfully, Motorway intersections (with 3 exits, 4 exits and 5 exits), Best intersections & ones to avoid! (cloverleaf, trumpet, stacked Interchange etc). How to apply lane mathematics successfully, How to set-up roundabouts properly. Building car-parks in your city. How to lay Metro, trains, (cargo, intercity!). I personally always struggle when using elevation in my city, so some tips on how to build retaining walls and elevate roads on top of them, as I always end up with a mess!
Yes Biffa, I like the video. I like it before I even know it exists
When you use the bypass lane/bridge, you also want to make the junction only left and right turns for that road, force the cars to use the bridge if they want to go straight.
A suggestion that i see a lot in my city and also use a lot in the cities i build is never allowing cars to turn left in the junction. If the surroundings is something of a grid, you can make them go straight and turn right twice on the next block, then put a give way sign or timed traffic lights depending on the flow, but in the critical junction you can make it only 2 steps on the lights (well, 3 because i like to have a pedestrian exclusive seconds, because if you don't do this they YOLO and decrease the flow crossing between the cars). It's also very realistic.
I figured out how to use the timed traffic lights and it was game-changing LOL
Ive been using a lot of small roundabouts made with the highway ramp road. Its nice because its only one lane so its easy enough for people to get on and off the roundabout, no messing with turn lanes and you also cant build on it by accident.
Your vids have helped me out in my city. I have a pop of 105k i use a bit of subways and trams which helps a lot. And my traffic is at 82% . my bus routes goes threw a neighborhood and drops them off at a tram or subway to carry them on there way.
Thanks alot for these explanations!
I don't even play cities skylines, but I watch every single video of yours. Keep up the great content.
Thankyou 😁👍
Thanks for this nice tutorial!
I like roundabouts a lot! IRL, I mean. They just make for a better traffic flow. You never have to wait when the junction is empty.
Congratulations, you just reinvented the cloverleaf type of interstate highway interchange
Thank you for making this video the traffic in my city was burning my brain
I'm looking forward to the next video in this series
Few ideas:
1. Roundabouts vs. traffic islands (there are videos on UA-cam that explain the difference but would be cool to see it in Cities Skylines context).
2. Two-highway roundabout with bypasses (ie two highways meet at a crossroads, you add a roundabout at ground level, a flyover for one of the highways and a tunnel for the other so everyone has a straight-through option).
3. Teaville suggestion: Make a golf course somehow?? You'd need to fake the fairways/greens/bunkers somehow but with trees lining the fairways and park paths winding through, I think it could look pretty convincing and make an empty space look really interesting.
Also if you're doing a whole series of deep dive videos, you could do a whole video about speed limits and how they affect the cars' routing decisions, how they affect ease of access for traffic joining roundabouts, who does and doesn't take a bypass etc. How to improve roundabout traffic flow, how to encourage more cars to take the highway around your city instead of smaller roads through the middle, that kinda thing.
Really helpful tips, got traffic flowing quite better now. Looking forward to T-junctions and other variants as well. Sometimes when you indicate something with the cursor it's hard to find where it is. A comment about in which area to look for it would be helpful.
Cheers biffa really helpful tips once again I’m a PS4 user + all DLCs.
For vanilla players on roundabouts : you can use a bigger road (or asymetrical 2+1 if you have the mass transit dlc) to have 2 lanes leaving the roundabout at at least one of the juctions ; there will be a dedicated turning lane so the roundabout won't be blocked !
Pedestrian and bike lane tip would be interesting. great video
With 0ver 300 comments I think you need mine like you need another proverbial. I enjoyed watching this, and more importantly, I learned something. Which is why I watch. Knowledge is what I am seeking, not entertainment. But of course presentation is important. Your's matches my expectations very well (unlike a couple of other UA-camr's) Thanks
I am newish to C:S. The thing I have most trouble with is: Network builds, especially slopes and curves. That trick of adding, then removing, a junction to get another node was a true revelation. I use MoveIt, Fine Road Tool and Fine Road Anarchy, or I should say I fiddle around with. An in depth covering building believable transportation networks would really assist me. I pick up clues from your videos in passing (like the fact you can't have 45 degree angles in metro), but an in depth coverage would be great. Keep up the good work.
just started to play n im realizin i have no clue wat im doing.
its amazin skill of micro management sir .

Hey Biffa, long time fan here, requesting you to make an exclusive video teaching manual traffic lights, considering different scenarios. No one explains Cities: Skylines better than you. :)
AMAZING video :P
Thank you Biffa. Now, if only we can get everyone to watch this, more sims will get home on time...
Really enjoying your videos, even started playing Cities Skylines a couple of weeks ago.
Now ive been experimenting with underground highway junctions (from mod) together with underground highways to get more buildable areas.
A bit tricky which ones that work good or not so looking forwatd to more indepth videos on that :)
(Still managing traffic between 65-80% so works fine so far)
Another awesome video 👌👍🏻
Thankyou 👍
Looking forward to this new line of videos
Biffa, This video is in the "Cities Skylines - Deep Dive" playlist twice.
Suggestion: Industrial traffic flow. How to imploment cargo hubs, effective use of storrage houses, good placement of luxus industrial buildings
I need that pedestrian bridge builder mod. Didn't knew it existed, but already loving it. Together with the Roundabout Builder and TMPE the mods to have!
I came across your channel today, as I wanted to wanted to get this game for the PC, I have it on the Xbox but didn’t like playing it with a controller, so gave up on it. From watching your videos, it appears that mods make this game a better gaming experience.
I’ve picked up a lot through your recent videos, now I’m gonna to do binge sessions haha.
Thanks, enjoy and welcome 👍😁
Hooked on this game since it came out with ps plus! Your videos are gold!!
Many thanks 👍😁
Did I just hear Biffa say, "Roundabouts aren't always the answer"? Just about spat my tea out....
Can’t wait for the tea junction video ☕️
Thank you! - I am very curious as to how you generated such a stedy flow of traffic. Could not find anything for it in the workshop. :)
Looking forward to the next episode!
