    Back when these mills were built the owners often built small areas for their workers to live. Often rows of streets of streets with identical houses.

      Exactly what I was thinking. The terraces in Blightea were clearly built to serve a large mill or pit on the site that is now The Wave. Kettling now has the mill, so it now needs some terraces for the workers. Make sure to leave some gaps where slum clearance was started by the council, before campaigners & locals got together to stop it.

    There's a bunch of invisible paths. They work great for placing trails and that in park areas. I think that's what you're looking for.
    I'm glad you liked the mills I mentioned in a comment on your last video. I'm afraid the comment I made got zapped by UA-cam because of the URL link to the Steam workshop.
    As I said, they're similar to the ones found across the pond. Samuel Slater came from England and took the idea for the first mills like this in America which was built in Slatersville, Rhode Island which isn't far from where these are located in Providence. Today, most of the mills are used for light manufacturing, loft apartments, condos, and fancy shops. The original 1803 mill by John and Samuel Slater is now housing and looks similar to the greyish mills you used.
    The streets are angled on those mill buildings because there were once railway lines servicing the various mills and brought goods in and out of the mill yards. In Lowell and Lawrence, the railroad ran parallel to the power canals. Today, outside of the branch in Lowell, the lines are abandoned since there's no longer any business in the mills.
    Lowell Massachusetts, another one of the planned mill cities in the region, has an extensive power canal system and there's a national park associated with the mill operations, housing, and even a working spinning mill to show how the operation worked. To visit the exhibits, a former railroad branch is now operated by a vintage trolley system. This small branch has become a regular tram route within the city for the residents which now serves not only the downtown area but also University of Massachusetts, Lowell, the ballpark and an arena.

Gives access to shops and the train station. And I can just see river barges going up and down that canal..

Could also imagine some sort of docks area where the mills would transport all their products through.

    Fabulous build, Biffa! These kinds of buildings can be seen IRL on the US East Coast all the way from Portland Maine and Concord New Hampshire all the way down to Baltimore and Annapolis Maryland. One tip, though: the houses with the multiple chimneys, dormers, and/or shutters were originally built as residential housing specifically attached posh single family homes. You might want to move the smokestack and the industrial bridge to the more appropriate buildings, the ones without shutters. And your locating residences right next to industrial buildings is genius! 👌 This happened quite a lot during the industrial revolution in the US as residential neighborhoods declined and gradually became industrial, I assume it happened in the UK too.

    Been mentioned a few times, but there is a very subtle crossing point right near the front end yellow bush triangle that folks can use to cross from the walking path to the street. Something that would also be helpful for pedestrians is a way to cross the river on the path network w/o having to go all the way down to the car bridge. Sure, the AI is willing to walk a long way, but it just makes sense to give a shortcut or two.

    I really enjoy your videos Biffa! I've been watching for several years now! :) I just have a little tip I picked up in a Slay3K video (just a few days ago!). When moving an item with Move It, hold the CTRL key while moving the mouse. Two excellent things happen...first, the blue selection outline disappears from the asset and, second, you get "fine grained" movement so it's infinitely easier to line things up! It's made a huge difference for me...I hope it helps you and others. (I've noticed it's a little quirky with some assets, but overall really helps)

    Really good looking industrial residential area!! I would like to suggest that close to the mill would be more terraced houses for the original workers in the mill. I would also like to suggest making a 60s style polytechnic uni around this area as if some industry had been cleared for this in the 60s.

    Hey Biffa, really love that old mill. But what about adding some more but slightly different buildings from there up to the junction. Maybe the old building where they had their steam engines and boilers and power plant got converted to some kind of cultural centre. You could combine some old industrial type buildings and maybe shove in a modern museum with move it. Then you could stick the schools and child care right behind it. Maybe there also is room for church? Or we could pretend there is some kind of multi-cultural centre there. I bet this city has seen lots of imigrants over the years too. First maybe from Irleand, later from the commonwealth.

    It is definitely looking gorgeous Biffa, I really like the idea of adding the mill employees houses someone else was commenting and agreed you definitely need a bridge across the river, the newer looking the better as it’s all regeneration these days! Centre of Bristol next to the canal has dozens of what is now flats and mad new bridges to get you into the railway station and into Cabot Cirus shopping centre.

    For aesthetic purposes I'd say to add a bit of track branching off from the mainline as a lot of Mills in the UK had a rail connection for freight delivery, could have that as a nod to the Mill's past

  • @AceEverett
    @AceEverett 2 роки тому

    You can use move it to squish the end of the path. If it doesn't look good with that specific path, you can try the one that matches the sidewalks and bring it over the quay. Invisible paths are sometimes very nice to have though, I have 5 in varying sizes. Liking how the new area is going, but I fear some residents will be very upset that parking is so far away!

  • @MrCheechopelli

Some old schools, health and deathcare and public transport + pedestrian bridges in the same old style would be great. Love it

    Nice build Biffa. Something a little bit different. I'd forgotten I'd got these buildings too, must see if I can do half as good a job as you with them! Love the triangles of planting, they're great. Not sure if the residents would love those massive trees right outside their windows at the back though 🤣 Also, if you watch the vid back from 33:25, you'll see that the peds are swapping from the path on the road to the path by the river on the far left of picture, it's because it touches at that point so they appear to be able to move from one to the other. So, no clever path solution needed.

  • @itsmehendrics
    @itsmehendrics 2 роки тому

    To make the path connect to the new Mill section, just delete a segment of the path right in front of the Mills. This should allow the civs to walk to the end of the path, then up onto the road at the end of the path segment. Then they can get back on it further down the road where the path starts again :)

  • @amdkillaplays
    @amdkillaplays 2 роки тому

    Might be worth trying to snake an old abandoned rail line to the back of the converted mill. It would help with the post industrial vibe, and you could even use some of it as a tram line that replaced some of the old track

    absolutely fabulously beautiful build. for the pathway.. make a path section raised/bridge go across the road. and hook it up on the other side of the road. also. make a path bridge to the other side of the river and hook it up the same way. (add nodes if necessary)
    side note. the trees (not all of them just the ones with the insanly long stems) are nice but too tall. use BOB to adjust stem lenght or use a different tree.
    P.s. Gasometer Vienna is same style (formerly used as gas storage in RL) using rico you can change that to whatever you fancy. (in vienna RL they made the Gasometer to Commercial and residential.)

  • @crazydoctor4914

    If you ever do a campus, I think it should be the university theme with the building spread throughout a certain area of your city. Maybe take inspiration from the university of Lincoln in the East Midlands (yes, southerners and northerners, the midlands do exist!)😂.

    Re pedestrians using the path along the river. As you were looking at how to connect it to the road, peds were already able to move across. They were close enough that the paths merged

  • @RS-pb2se
    @RS-pb2se 2 роки тому

    A very nice build, and very reminiscent of old industrial cities in the UK like Manchester and Derby. Just needs a little bit more concrete surface painter infront of the mills if possible, as the undecorated grass looks a bit off
    I’d like to see more residential expansion, with a town centre that has a shopping centre backing off a market street. A very common theme in towns across the UK, wherever you go

  • @lordraven2264
    @lordraven2264 2 роки тому

    32:57, if you noticed, the path did connect to the road right next to where you were trying to place a connection. It appears there are several of those spots along the river, so all is good. Love the mill build, looks great.

    • @mandowarrior123
      @mandowarrior123 2 роки тому

      @@automation7295 that is not true. In the uk there are many of these long road parallel paths that only have a few connections along it, especially something like this. Sometimes for physical reasons, oftimes just to separate out the walk from the car pollution and noise, with some trees & bushes in between.

  • @amypeggs9606
    @amypeggs9606 2 роки тому

    At 32:59 when you are asking how to connect the paths, you can see that people are already walking from the path to the pavement in one spot where they meet exactly. I think you might have unfortunately broken that when you made the path and deleted it, but it seems like it could work/was working already if you can get it to match up.
    As for the disaster response unit, looks like there are a few models on the workshop that look a bit more neutral - "Urban disaster response unit" or "Disaster response unit 2x2" look like they could fit in somewhere industrial, or the "Disaster response mega center" looks really good and not out of place if it had its own space, a lot of local UK police/fire stations are closing down now and moving to more units like this out in rural areas between two towns or villages.

  • @brilang71
    @brilang71 2 роки тому

    Pedestrians seemed to have no difficulty crossing from the street sidewalk to the pedestrian path by the river - they were doing it while you were trying to place the path and lower it under the road.
    What you're missing here is a direct pedestrian bridge to the train station.

  • @thedoctor4637
    @thedoctor4637 2 роки тому

    At 33:28, you say “that person here might want to walk along but can’t.” Talking about the path next to the river. But if you watch him, he jumps on it just a little later! That paths should be fine how they are now.

  • @scatmanpro
    @scatmanpro 2 роки тому +1

    For some reason it looks to me that this would be the style of an entire much bigger district, more like a city centre. Mixed in with a few other buildings. Also the positioning of the mills next to the world makes them seem important.

    I think the mill build looks great but you just added like what 500 homes or so... so definitely needs a big parking lot... like perhaps the width of the whole thing behind the rear buildings. Just push back the shrub fence and have it be from one corner to the next, see how that looks and if it doesn't seem enough have a 2nd to make it a larger lot or have another on one of the sides or both sides even... a few hundred families need more then 35 or so parking spots.

    If you look at 33:27 just to the far left where there is a red VW camper van, a man dressed in black steps from the road path onto the riverbank path. It looks like all you have to do is have the two paths level and people will just walk across.

I think playing about with the whole converted building thing could really add to some cool looking places.

    mills and old factories (when on rivers) tend to have quays and docks. in front of them which would be quite "easy" to put in with Network Rivers. Manchester is a prime example of that
