🌧🌦 jup, Biffa you'll want to remove the industry and all pollution from the groundwater source. Also consider the pollution apreads throughout the entire groundwater source Greetings from germany
@@Eschatonin6666 unfortunately it’s also far too accurate for modern day. The water companies have been getting away with a lot and it is incredibly disgusting. They’re pocketing money without upgrading or maintaining infrastructure to meet demand, therefore there are far too many instances of overflow into rivers etc. Or they just know they can get away with it by paying a few million each time and don’t want to bother.
everyone must ask themselves the question. Why does the road to the industrial zone go through the main street, when there is a road right next to it to get in and out...?
The junction leading into the new village just seems like an accident waiting to happen and the traffic will be horrible. A good old roundabout or a T-junction would be much safer
Hi Biffa as someone who has worked at village based fire stations as a front line firefighter, that tiny one you said doesn't look right for the UK, is very common in small rural villages like the one you built in the video, for example the county of Oxfordshire who I worked for has many small fire stations, but two that look very close to it are Thame and Wallingford.
I am really worried about groundwater pollution. You have your sewer discharge and industry all close by your groundwater pumping station. I do love this area though
Biffa, it seems from the linear design style of the village that it was originally built to serve the railway depot. The Victorian terracing along the main road, as well as in front of the station, are clearly the oldest housing. As such the sudden end of the main road in front of the pub makes no sense unless it is continued the short distance to the road to Kettlewick. As there is the road running below the village that acts as a bypass. then the short stretch of the missing main road could be a pedestrian road, pedestrianised when the bypass was built. A bridge carrying the main Kettlewick road over the rail line would also seem logical to replace the existing level crossing. This could have been built either when the railway first came through or later when the roads were upgraded as part of the bypass scheme. Fab episode as ever.
Pedestrianized or just cut off. Don't know about UK in particular but from elsewhere my impression is that they just cut roads when they made bypasses back in the days, but later on they would make a pedestrian+bicycle connection.
There's literally a road 15 meters from the railway depot? Why not connect it to that, with a simple road, instead of snaking around it and the bridge above the line?
Great build Biffa! In the new village, I do think an at grade crossing is way more realisitc than the bridge. Even a much larger town would have that, not a bridge.
For the sewage at 33:10... just dig a big pit in the ground. Use a road for the retaining wall of the pit and put the sewage pump in it to full it us. When you have enough money just delete the pump and raise the level of the land back to normal. How this game is, water physics is completely ignored and your land will not be polluted
Did you put the same type of school down? Primary and elementary is the same thing isn’t it? Also, a proper church/cathedral. The town doesn’t have one and everyone has one in the uk
Hi Biffa! As a nod to your US based fans, how about naming your new village "Hershey Fields" or "Mars Meadows". It is across 'the pond" or in this case the river nearby 😀!
Loving the new village! I think you should remove the slip which leads to the industry road. It is going the wrong direction meaning traffic would need to turn right across on coming traffic twice rather than going doing to the roundabout (which as you’d be giving way to the right with very little traffic coming from the cemetery and the short residential road traffic would naturally ignore the slip as it would be slower. As for the name of the village, I think you should name it after tea! Whether it be English tea brands or different types of tea! P.S. don’t forget to activate the rail services!
If you are travelling in road from the train depot over the bridge to go left to village you have to go to box junction - the slip road is for on coming traffic I don’t think you intended it to be that way round did you Biffa?
Biffa, these are some name suggestions Milky Way Manor Shortbread street Rolo road Jammy dodger Drive Kipling crest Weetabix way Refreshers road Malteser Marsh Aero Avenue Digestive Drive Bueno bend
This looks really great. What you need are some Lombardi poplars lining the roads to the fancy hotel and mansion with the farm fields replaced by green pastures.
When I build a farm, I generally put a few small row houses (to simulate worker houses) next to them. I also consider a single industry next to them in a gap too - many farmers has diversified into secondary industries and processors - think a beverage producer. In game this is represented by putting a beverage producers next to a vegetable farm. I do have to bulldoze the industry many times to get the right industry.
How about Haribo Heights/Hill and name the roads after different haribos such as tangfastics close, starmix road or gold bears way ? Also loving the series ❤
Hey biffa, great video as usual! I found out you don't need to remove the existing surfaces to place farms. You can place farms over them and then adjust whatever still needs adjusting (like the area of the farm building itself). It will show the new texture of the farm you just placed instead of the one below it. Might be useful as well. Have a nice day (and merry xmas!)☔️🫖🎄
For the new village Bourbon ville. Bourbon end. Bourbon side. Werthers end Daim fields - my personal favourite 👀 Or any of the following with wick. At the end to match kettle wick; Daimwick, bourbonwick, Wertherswick.
The junction between Strawberry and Sheffield roads - Strawberry Creme and Orange Creme Roads? Named after two of the most polarising chocolates you can find in a selection 😁
Well you are building a British inspired city on a map based on the Willamette Valley. Oregon (west of the Cascades) gets quite a bit of rain, so you are getting wet no matter which side you favor.
Oh my, small enhlish village, love it !! And now you can name it : BOOST (SOOOOOOO DELICIOUS) BAR TOWN (or Gulch, but I think it's more american than english) : "Boost bar town" !
Don't forget your humpback bridges over railway lines in the countryside. Trams would be nice. Can you do canals in this one? I love English weather 🌧🌨🌧🌨🌈
You should check out Lincolnshire, specifically in the villages near Lincoln. In my experience, there are plenty of newbuilds there. Also, the road layout is very interesting.
I wonder about making a "linear village" within kettlewick just built on the main road with shops in the centre and and progressively less dense housing as you leave the village.
You could do one of the future semi posh/villagey areas Thorntons and name a large Manor House that overlooks the posh/villagey but Thornton House . Also the hotel you put into this episode needs to be named “Hotel Chocolat”
For the new district it could be themed after Beatles music? So the district would be called Beatles Grove etc and the streets could be named after their songs like -strawberry fields Avenue -Penny Lane -Savoy truffle Etc
i don't think you'd have buildings underneath electric wires? along that road on the right hand side of the town from the depot down to the small school.
To make it a really British uk map biffa you need someone to cone up with some canal boats that go up and down the rivers, that'll allow for even more detailing
Biffa - map name at 1:56 - From the name and the look, that sure looks like a map of Oregon's Willamette River valley. My daughter goes to school there, and I've been rigorously corrected: the pronunciation is not the expected WILL-a-met that you used, but is actually pronounced wil-AM-ette valley. There, I've done my duty by her and passed it on. What you do with the information is up to you. :)
Hey Biffa, about the problem you commented on - joining up existing roads. Looking at a few of your vids, you always seem to default to using the complex curve tool, where possibly using the simple (single) curve may make this much smoother.
Name Suggestion Candy/Sweet Selection (Named after the Selection Box) - with the roads named after different candies (Like for example Banjo/Bounty Boulevard or the Train station getting called Spangles Station or Smartie Station and a funny one for the Elementary school - Mini Eggs).
You definitely need a roundabout/ intersection leading to a park called Rowntrees Way or something along those lines if you haven’t used Rowntrees already.
Biffa the citizens yearn for a Greggs!
oh man, now I'd love a sausage roll...
everyone likes good old Greggs Steak bake :)
A TRUE BRIT
haven't you heard, it's been rebranded G.R. eggs.
GIVE THE PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT! 😂
Hey Biffa! I noticed that most UK towns have riverside walks/paths, I would love to see this in kettlewick! Loving the series!!
38:36 sometimes I wonder if you remember this is a city where you drive on the left. I'm not sure that slip road really helps.
It made sense until he put the roundabout there
Biffa!!!! 😂
biffa casually poluting his ground pumping station with a sewage outlet and industry
🌧🌦 jup, Biffa you'll want to remove the industry and all pollution from the groundwater source. Also consider the pollution apreads throughout the entire groundwater source

It's actually logical in a rural environment
Great build Biffa! In the new village, I do think an at grade crossing is way more realisitc than the bridge. Even a much larger town would have that, not a bridge.
I might change it up 👍

Forget the Gavin and Stacey Christmas special, a new episode of Kettlewick is far more exciting!
👍👍
There are loads of crossings to delete in the new area. Cars will have to stop all the time.
Indeed 👍
Cupton would be a nice name
Be careful with the industry placement - You might poison the underground water source. ☢🌧☔
👍
☕👍 🌧⛈☔☀🌈👍
(rainy = umbrella then the sun comes out which creates a rainbow :) )
8:26 gravel car park maybe?
Two things are missing to make it British, Hedges along the road and farmland, and stone fences around the farm plots
The New Place should be called Kipling Village - Named after the Cakes!
With a roundabout the locals call The Viennese Whirl 😁
@@medicallyunexplainedsymptoms sounds like a protest name for the first spiral roundabout to the area
Did you put the same type of school down? Primary and elementary is the same thing isn’t it? Also, a proper church/cathedral. The town doesn’t have one and everyone has one in the uk
Also, couldn’t the line be doubled up? Train traffic is going to be awful once up and running.
Don't primary school and elementary school serve the same education level? You need a small high school instead
Hi Biffa! As a nod to your US based fans, how about naming your new village "Hershey Fields" or "Mars Meadows". It is across 'the pond" or in this case the river nearby 😀!
Understated and dignified with an air of history and class? Surely this is the village of Bourneville!
You probably need to address the rock query needed for the upkeep of the homes at this point of kettlewick County.
Biffs,in the uk buses have numbers.
Maybe you could rename your buses with random numbers
E.g. 37,69,532,325
Usually the number is followed by the end point destination as well, rather than where the route serves.
An hour long Biffa video? It's a Christmas miracle.
😅
What a fantastic build, looks so British! Btw, around 15:30 I've spotted a few gaps between the terraced houses, guess you'd like to fill them in :)
Loving the new village!
I think you should remove the slip which leads to the industry road.

i still play cities skylines 1, and i just watch cs2 for no reason like it will benefit my city in any way
Enjoy! 😅👍
Sewage Discharge right by the groundwater pump? Hmmm. Genius! All we need is a few beavers to sort it out, right Biffa?
Yikes!
If you are travelling in road from the train depot over the bridge to go left to village you have to go to box junction - the slip road is for on coming traffic I don’t think you intended it to be that way round did you Biffa?
New village should be called Kipling with areas with in named after his exceedingly good cakes
Biffa, these are some name suggestions
Milky Way Manor
Shortbread street
Rolo road
Jammy dodger Drive
Kipling crest
Weetabix way
Refreshers road
Malteser Marsh
Aero Avenue
Digestive Drive
Bueno bend
I'm not sure I'd love staying in a 5-star hotel looking directly out over a train line. Beautiful build otherwise!
This looks really great. What you need are some Lombardi poplars lining the roads to the fancy hotel and mansion with the farm fields replaced by green pastures.

I believe in a video from Infrastructurist he had a mod that sort of hid the light gray wear markings on the road, maybe look into that!
👍
hey biffa, you keep putting schools next to pubs, which is ususally a no-go for safety reasons - same with liquor stores.
There is a primary school literally across the road from a pub that my kids went to, down the road from me....so.... 🤷♂️
My old high school has a carvery pub on the same road, about 1 minutes walk away.
Heroes Hamlet could be a cool name for the village
The Village needs to be named after different bread brand so it can be related to tea & toast :-)
Have a very Merry Holiday
How about Haribo Heights/Hill and name the roads after different haribos such as tangfastics close, starmix road or gold bears way ? Also loving the series ❤
Custard Cream-Fields for the new village name.
Hold my cup of tea ☕, another episode of Kettlewick is here!
Hey biffa, great video as usual! I found out you don't need to remove the existing surfaces to place farms.

🌧 How about Custard Creamville?
Name ideas for the new district:
- Munchester (after having the munchies)
- Twixington (Twix)
- Chewcastle
- Snickerpool
For the new village
Bourbon ville. Bourbon end. Bourbon side.
Werthers end
Daim fields - my personal favourite 👀
Or any of the following with wick. At the end to match kettle wick;
Daimwick, bourbonwick, Wertherswick.
I suggest Cadbury Park for your new village
The junction between Strawberry and Sheffield roads - Strawberry Creme and Orange Creme Roads? Named after two of the most polarising chocolates you can find in a selection 😁
Well you are building a British inspired city on a map based on the Willamette Valley. Oregon (west of the Cascades) gets quite a bit of rain, so you are getting wet no matter which side you favor.
The 5 star hotel seems the sort of place that would be directly on the river with a little loading dock at the bottom on the river :)
Oh my, small enhlish village, love it !! And now you can name it : BOOST (SOOOOOOO DELICIOUS) BAR TOWN (or Gulch, but I think it's more american than english) : "Boost bar town" !
I would have put a round about at that majorish intersection, Biffa. Nice to see other areas, been populated.
Those deadly traffic solutions are great!
petrol station could be closer to the roundabout for more visibilty tbh
Biffa be treating us with a 54 minute video!! 🌧️🌧️
i am prolly not from from your country but it is also raining out here 🙃
@@Wasdgamerke it’s horrible for me in the midlands in England rn 😭😭
You're gonna need a big cuppa tea!
@@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylinesmore than one!
Series idea: Build the world (or as much as you can). Make one area look like Japan, one that's France, UK, US across the river, etc
Don't forget your humpback bridges over railway lines in the countryside. Trams would be nice. Can you do canals in this one?

🌦Minstrel Mills, tying in with the historic cloth industry.
🌧Happy holidays!
Rich Tea towers? It's the perfect fit for some high rises!
How about a kettle themed name for the new village? Kettle Norton? Kettle Bassett?
With your new fancy area having a posh hotel and an upmarket feel, why not name the area the Ritz. Named after the crarkers
Biffa, please could you inspire the next build off a village called Wolston?
I'll take a look 👍
Thanks so much!!
Btw it’s near Coventry.
Polluted ground water anyone? 😂
Industrial estate on top of ground water and sewage outlet in river! What a place to live
You could do one of the future semi posh/villagey areas Thorntons and name a large Manor House that overlooks the posh/villagey but Thornton House . Also the hotel you put into this episode needs to be named “Hotel Chocolat”
Call it Cupwick as it goes hand in hand with quality street
Hi Biffa, greetings from Germany. You built two elementary/ primary schools in the new village. 😊
👍
🌦 I'm a bit gloomy, in bed with a mancold from the time of the plague. But a new episode from Mr Biffa realy brightened the mood. Thanks m8
Hope your feel better soon, we've all had that... nasty!
Why have you got two primary schools in this little village (elementary and primary are the same thing in-game)?
For the new district it could be themed after Beatles music? So the district would be called Beatles Grove etc and the streets could be named after their songs like
-strawberry fields Avenue
-Penny Lane
-Savoy truffle

Been pouring over here as well. Great little village!
The new village should be called 'Bassetts village' because you've had ALLSORTS of problems building it! ;)
Maybe it’s not a sweet/chocolate or biscuit but how about “Crumpet Crescent” 🌦️
Hey Biffa, about the problem you commented on - joining up existing roads. Looking at a few of your vids, you always seem to default to using the complex curve tool, where possibly using the simple (single) curve may make this much smoother.
Happy Holidays, Biffa, to you and your family!
Wait won’t the sewage pollute the ground water?????
Almost an hour long video? It really is a Christmas miracle ☔️🌧️🌂💧
Name Suggestion
Candy/Sweet Selection (Named after the Selection Box) - with the roads named after different candies (Like for example Banjo/Bounty Boulevard or the Train station getting called Spangles Station or Smartie Station and a funny one for the Elementary school - Mini Eggs).
Train station could do with a walkover bridge to reach the other platform
41:00 UKmixed housing kills all your demand for housing! (I think it's a bug!)
Looks amazing, would love to see a nice castle added somewhere too prehaps?
Terry's or Fry's for the names. Or split it into two smaller villages and one half be called Terry's and the other Fry's.
What I learned from this series so far: In the UK, there are a lot of really expensive single family estates. 😅
😅
🌧🌧🌧 Keep the good work up! Happy holidays! 🎅🤶🎉🎉
You definitely need a roundabout/ intersection leading to a park called Rowntrees Way or something along those lines if you haven’t used Rowntrees already.
The new village needs a rival football team
Kettlewick is back!
Locals call it the Wil LAM ette Think lamb not lum
willLAWmet
That'll be the 5th pronunciation I've been told today 😅
Name it "bournville village" after the Cadbury world location.
Terry's Town (Terry's Chocolate orange) and if you put a hotel down Hotel Chocolat is a must
