    When doing CW and CCW circular routes for any city transit, I think it's a good idea to use lighter and darker shades of the same colour. So, for instance, light red and dark red. So you can still tell them apart, but at the same time you can know that they are related just visually. Just an idea I'm throwing out there.

    So regarding the traffic, there is something that wasn't a part of the first game and doesn't seem to be a feature in this one either, which is what we call "slip lanes" locally. If you were approaching an intersection and turning left, instead of having to stop at the intersection, there is a dedicated lane that bypasses the intersection that you can take, kind of like an off-ramp on a highway, but they can be found on even the smallest residential roads, they essentially allow you to "cut the corner" of the intersection, reducing traffic because you don't have to wait for people who are not turning to move out of the way, you can just take the slip lane and carry on, and similarly, if you are going straight, you don't need to wait for people that are turning to slow down and turn, you can just drive on.
    I don't know if it would be difficult to implement "manually" in the game, given how the roads are placed in, but I am curios if it would make a difference to traffic if you did put them in.
    Also, great work, I am loving the new series, keep up the good work, and leave the big bridge in, it looks cool.

    • @memediatek
      @memediatek 7 місяців тому +2

    I do think that one bridge isn’t really in it’s optimal position. Technically it could be done, this is just a river, while Öresundsbron between Sweden and Denmark or the hypothetical Sicilian bridge are a whole lot longer and deeper but still existent and planned/discussed. However, it would be more realistic to place it on a shorter distance as it would be cheaper and easier to pull off. Great content as always Biffa ❤

      It may well just be the publisher or execs getting the game out before its ready, but this is typical AAA game bull these days. Release a broken game, rake in the money and maybe, just maybe, fix it later. Half the time they never enter a particularly playable state, especially pc ports.
      I don't see anything on the steam page saying the games early access or not ready yet. They're selling a fully priced game as a finished product, which clearly isn't finished yet.

It amazes how so much of the CS playerbase seem to have no sense of their role as consumers in a market. Especially when dealing with big business, you should expect the earth from them, and if they somehow give it you, ask for more. Not thank them for being saying "we failed, sorry". Their reward is your business. Our reward, if we've done our job well, can be something greater than our expectations.

    I'm absolutely gutted, the game is unplayable. Waited for so long and it's a complete sh1tshow. Dropping down to 1080p and all settings on low just to get it to play, only for it to crash. The game is that badly optimised it reminded me of playing RCT2, as that's how far you have to drop the settings to get it to run. Steam reviews are 80% negative if not more. I have a decent system as do many people in the reviews. Biffa, what are you using to run this? And at what settings as thousands of people who are very disappointed with the Devs would like to know. Also the Devs releasing an update post telling people to drop to 1080p and pretty much disable all settings, is a clear indication that they have well and truly balls this one up.

    If you turn off zone cell snapping when selecting your road staring mode, and choose the dead center of the road. Turn zone cell length snapping back on.
    For small roads, the new “10u” length for creating perfect grids is 112 meters. For medium roads, it’s 120m.
    Drag your road out 112m from your staring point 90* perpendicular to your staring road, place it.
    I like to rotate 90* then make the next segment 224m.
    Doing this keeps the grid in a nice 1:2 ratio.

      I've explained this many times, but what's one more.... Prior to release, we were told we had a beta version. Beta usually means feature complete but not 100% bug free or final performance. We expected a lot more to get fixed and better performance before release. Our initial 3 videos were all in the beta version, and we were told not to discuss performance. Why would we? We were told it is the beta version! Also, once it was released, I personally didn't have performance issues, until weeks later, when I tried to fix a viewers 250k pop city. But by then, CO had already publicly admitted performance issues and that they were working on them. I didn't hide anything and I've spoken about performance and bugs as they come up in my videos many times. Not quite sure what else you wanted from me... 🤷‍♂️
