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.
- SHIP IT
Manage traffic and logistics with industrial warehouses and the use of the new Cargo Services including a cargo airport.
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.
- WONK HARD
Three new Industry Policies and four City-wide Policies, including Workers’ Union, Sorting, Tolls, Wi-Fi, Logistics, Work Safety and Automation.

I think you made a little mistake there in 17:27 because anybody who is coming in on the left highway junction of the two that lead into the industrial area, will have to follow your lane guidance, be guided around that block and leave the industrial area at the next high way junction. I think there are no extra lane-changing-spots in between. So in the end anybody who wants to get into the industrial area will have to use the right junction of use the recycling center area to cut through to the industrial area.
steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1764246065
I managed to badly overbuild the center part of my town. Traffic is backed up fairly bad despite my best efforts with roundabouts and traffic manager and such.
Hey, Biffa, what i saw on 17:37. You have 2 lanes from down-left to 6-l highway. After little road-segment same 2 lane MUST go to the down-right 2 lanes on road around Cargo Terminal. People from city highway CAN"T go to Cargo, they must make a big roundabout around all Industry sector. This is a really issue. This is happened sometimes in another your videos, so you should check reachability if you do "lane mathematics" with restrictions to move somewhere else.
Maybe just split road on smaller segments?
Hey, has anyone pointed out 17:30 yet? Only 255 people? Okay 😛
@@renakunisaki well, while Biffa will do this mistakes, we will write it.
R.I.P. to the cars stuck underground after deleting the entrances and exits
they will make a new life down there lol

And then the Drawfs was born. Kill orcs!

Then... THE UNDERGROUND NATION CAME UP AND ATTACKED

How the hell did I get here. I've literally never heard of this game.
Enjoy :-)
I made this mistake earlier this year....now guess what game I have?
Same here bro
Raviraj Jidge Haha samee
hahaahha same here. I don't even play games in general. but I do think this game's good for urban development simulation. I literally watched this til the end.
I have never played cities yet, ive just spent the last 30 minutes learning how to micro-manage traffic. :)
:-)
I have it on my Xbox with game pass
Me too
Me as well
Very addictive game, until your city rapidly starts losing money
Me: Time to go to bed
UA-cam: Watch a guy fix traffic
Me: You’ve convinced me
:-)
Same again. Well after midnight.
dude same thing here lol 2AM wtfff
GamingNoob right?
Deadass it helps me fall asleep
22:08 Did that dingbat in a truck cut across 3 lanes of traffic when merging onto the highway, only to cut back across 2 of those to take the next exit?
Most realistic thing in this game IMO.
Yep, one of the biggest complaints people have about this game is that people tend to follow the rules too well! In real life people do silly things like that, but in the game, almost never.
XD even I noticed that
Yeah whenever they hit a node they will try to change directly to the lane they want, which can make for some goofy switches. There's actually an option in Traffic Manager (Enable Highway Rules) that limits lane switching in highways to one lane difference per switch.
@@renakunisaki Are you being sarcastic?
But isn't that normal
This video really demonstrates the fact that adding more lanes doesnt decrease traffic. a lot of his changes were shrinking lanes
isn't it also the same with speed, slowing traffic doesn't actually improve traffic flow
It's an awful amalgamation of areas (calling it a city isn't fair to actual cities), he only connected his areas with highway infrastructure and then wondered why his traffic flow is so low.
Braess's paradox in action
and using a mod to fix the game... reasons I don't like "supporting" this game
@@NonsensicalSpudz Exactly. The slower the traffic, the more time they're on the road. The only time slowing traffic is effective is when there is precariously short crossovers and turns with lots of traffic.
This game must be a mandatory game to those who work in government
:-)
Can confirm this game and these videos are contributing reasons to why I am 3/4 years into a Civil Engineering Bachelor with a desire to do Highway Engineering. This game is actually a very good way to visualize traffic throughput and how successful certain designs are (With obviously acknowledging the way that Cars AI Path in this game). I've been able to take the lead on certain parts of projects because of this game helping me visualize the way that traffic likes to flow.
Stroath Mate wow man you are a legend
@@soop8765 Awesome mate! I see it already happening: Next homework project you have to design a highwaysystem through some sort of city. You take Cities Skylines, build your project in the game and then send in your savefile to Biffa so he does the fixing for you lawl!
Mandatory? Only if they include bicycle infrastructure mechanics. Cycling would solve a lot of congestion with a much lower price tag.
Me: Oh no, the title reads "mathematics", this will be difficult
Biffa: 2 plus 2 is 4, quick maths
*Maffs... But you right~
@@Jardonius no it's mafs
I spend more time watching you fix traffic than fixing my own.
:-)
I don't even own this game, I don't know why I watch these videos, but they're a weird kind of addictive (in a good way),
@@jamesahibbard Both his voice and seeing the traffic getting smooth is very relaxing, it works better than those 'fall asleep' clips!
@@gondul89 I could say it is oddly satisfying
jamesahibbard same i dont own this game either
"Lane Mathematics" : 2+2=4.
-1 is 3 quick maths
Every day mans on the block. Smoke trees.
One lane + two lanes = no traffic
You’d be surprised that many city workers don’t know LANE MATHS
Can you fix my city? No like my ACTUAL city where I live. Thanks
I am new to this. Literally never seen nor heard of this game in my life. Can this be used to map models of actual cities or prove helpful in figuring out actual traffic solutions? Traffic is a killer in my town (Newcastle) would love it if my council planners used this. My guess is they don't.
@@stuboy13 The cost of all those ramps and overpasses probably comes close to a billion $ in real life. The cost of all those roundabouts is in the tens of millions, considering all the lanes and exits/entrances. Then multiple metro routes, those will add up. So there's probably a few billion just in the initial cost of all the transit systems, for a city of ~60,000. Not to mention that just constructing all the roads/bridges/etc would have a larger carbon footprint than many countries. Concrete/asphalt construction has a ton of ghg emissions.
@@bbg5000 Not to mention that when you go to make that new entrance to the highway and bulldoze the residential area you suddenly have all these lawsuits :D (which is why you should always bulldoze at night when the people are sleeping.... Though bulldozers are loud, it might wake them up..... Prius bulldozers?)
Michael Archer I paint my bulldozers black, giving them a high level of stealth during nighttime operations. Most of the time people wake up from the noise then just go back to sleep when they fail to spot the bulldozer coming through the new garage door in their living room
@@stuboy13 There's actual simulation software that works traffic like this, its pretty professional and expensive, the problem is always government and special interests. The technology is there edit: and money/lawsuits like the guys before me said
Just watched 26 minutes of traffic management in a game I've never heard of
Did you enjoy it? 😁
Biffa Plays Indie Games I definitely did! 😄
@@pixelyz7792 You're now qualified for a job on your local council. Overqualified, one might say
Person: Doctor doctor, I'm not well
Biffa: what seems to be the problem?
Person: I'm all clogged up

Lol :-)
@@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines this is my new saying at work when things get backed up and in a mess lol
Let's go ahead and build a roundabout in your bloodstream...
Could also be roundaboutitis.
Funny!
How on earth did you make this so interesting?? I'm not even currently playing this game and it popped up and just something about the way you explained things made me want to play again lol. Such a personable speaker
Thanks 😁
This is the Gordon Ramsay kitchen nightmares of cities skylines
*"WHERE'S THE ROUNDABOUT SAUCE?!"*
Those avocado canopies are so f****** tiny, they could fit snugly on a Sim City map!
22:20 "we got traffic lights that we dont need" cars crash instantly
Came here to comment this haha
@@unclesam6237 uncle sam?
Me: watching beauty videos
YT: here, watch this guy fixing roundabouts and deleting lines...
Also Me: Woooow.. Thank you youtube :D
Yay UA-cam, welcome 😁
That city is 50% roads... Must be American.
Not just that, but the city has so damn much highways. I mean i didn't play cities skylines yet. But i'd actually try to build a city like it would look like in the real world. Highways are meant to connect multiple cities and not just have a big paved place where cars can go around in your city.
Marco Doe, I’m curious. How many modern cities have you lived in? I’ve lived in the suburbs of several, and multiple highways typically run *through* the cities, with the cities acting as ‘hubs’ where people switch between them, and with highways running *around* the cities as well.
@@Vessekx This is a pure example of overusing highway systems.. but more than that roads that lead to no where. Alternate routes help significantly and the AI are pretty good on taking it. Here you have about 20 roads and even highways that just end no where or extend drive time considerably. Highways connect hot spots that allow for travel not just used to surround housing developments.
@@marcodoe4690 Uh... in big cities, you take the highway to go to the other side of the city. Why would you choose to go through 154 stop lights and take 10 times longer getting there?
@@Salidin111 Living in a major city in the U.S. (Phoenix, Arizona) I use the high way systems here every single day. It takes a minimum 20-30 minutes to get to the other side of the city going 75mph. Now if I were to take the 6-8 lane main roads going 45mph having to stop every couple blocks at a light, it would take hours. The highways are essential to moving around this city efficiently. Not even factoring in the big trucks that would ruin the normal roads and further clog traffic on normal roads.
The algorithm never ceases to surprise me with its recommendations
Did you enjoy it?
Biffa Plays Indie Games absolutely! I didn’t think I would but I found it really interesting to see your solutions!
I was just wondering, where did You learn how to do all this?
I think this illustrates so well how more roads doesn't solve traffic! In real life I mean.
I've never played this game. I've never HEARD of this game. I don't even have a gaming PC.
But damn, that was satisfying to watch. I need more.
why do I keep watching this???...I don't play the game and I know how he fixes traffic now off by heart
I know, right?
I watched his videos for 2 weeks, I got the game because he is do good at explaining
I need to know how to make farms and forestry and oil and ore
@@VICTORdoomm yeah ... I bought the game now, 1st time in years since I've played games
@@additionaddict5524 if you know how to do the Industrial "farms and forestry and oil and ore" zones.... and why can't we have on-line neighbors with other players (I make this if you make that)
I bought it forever ago and was like "this is to complicated" but I'm a sucker for a soothing voice doing things I cannot.
I'm not sure why YT recommended this video but I found myself transfixed by watching traffic flow improve in a game I've never even heard of! I think I'm OCD ...... And that video was strangely satisfying. 😁
Great to hear thank you & welcome :-)
That’s how I got hooked on watching these videos
The game is called: Cities: Skylines.
22:20
Biffa: "There's traffic lights there, which we don't need."
Truck: *speeds through oncoming traffic while drinking an energy drink*
17:37 - lane mathematics on point! traffic management, uhh... not so much xD
you basically forced people to take a detour from the highway around the cargo terminal and then straight back onto the highway - there were no nodes to change lanes on!
Exactly what I was thinking! Those two lanes have nowhere else to go anymore. They would have to loop all the way around to get to the terminal xD
Exactly why I came here! Had a problem in my city where I tried to use lane math and TMPE to make traffic flow better only to realize that I made it worse.
He then makes it worse @ 20:45 . All those people that were forced back onto the highway were trying to get back into that industrial area. He then forces them into a lane that if you notice will just loop them back onto the highway.
I was thinking the same now when looking.. So had to see if someone had comment about it. It hurt my OCD!
I really love how Biffa tries to talk to his viewers as if they're a friend and that they're right there
You are!!! :-)
@@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines D: so that's why i get tea in the afternoon suddenly in the basement....
UA-cam decided to dump a bunch of people onto this video out of nowhere.
I have no idea what this game even is. 😂
Loved his voice though it is so weirdly satisfying.
Thanks 😁👍
It's called Cities Skylines.
Vehicles: U-turns
Biffa: NO.
Biffa went one fix without making roundabouts?! Le-gasp.
You are a wizard on fixing cities.
Thanks :-)
They were all already there, he just needed the Traffic Manager to explain to these stupid citizens how to use them properly :)
Le-gasp.
Didn't need to add any because this city already had enough. Just had to set them up to act as proper roundabouts rather than just a bit of road that goes in a circle
@@fuchs4 We need him to do the same irl. Lol.
Never been in any contact with this game what so ever, but watching you clearing those lanes also helped clearing my hangover. The lord works in mysterious ways.
I've never touched this game or really seen anything for it, but whenever these pop up on my suggested feed, I always enjoy watching them
First off, I really like your channel, I always watch a video during my lunch break atm and taking a lot away from the tips you give for my own cities. Also it's always nice to see you also make mistakes, not only I do haha.
Starting at 17:29 you basically create a scenario where people get off the high way, go around the back of the cargo train station and have to go back on to the highway because of your hugo there :D
1:36 cars passing through cars. I believe I have found the solution to the traffic jam problem...
Ahahah I don't know why but seeing that car literally trespassing made me die of laughter
There needs to be an all powerful entity just like this man, who governs all traffic. That way whenever I yell out "Why isn't there a damn turn lane!?!?" it will maybe happen.
There no turn lane because someone doesn't want people to turn off more easily and avoid his booming pyramid scheme just down the street :P
UA-cam recommendations are strange. This game looks interesting, though.
Hope you enjoyed :-)
@@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines Definitely! I'd never heard of the game before, but I ended up buying it a few hours later 🤷🏼♂️
All the tricks, tips and fixes ultimately boil down to a single piece of wisdom: don't cross the streams!
Beregorn88 this is gold. #Ghostbusters
Same goes for public urinals!
@@vaandor1 That's a No, for sure.
Biffa i think you made a little mistake at 17:28
The cars from the highway always have to bypass the cargo station, with the little two lane road around.
This means they have to drive once through the hole loop if they want to go to the station.
yeah i have seen that to. Fix: off the highway 2 right . Next only 1 right and one straight, so they can reach the Cargostation easy. Offcorse that wouled need a roadfix from 3 lanes to 4 lanes so that they wont do so "hokypoky" messing whit each other.
I think it's even worse... he forced all traffic from the intersection to pass along the cargostation and after that they are forced to leave the area again. so noone can enter that industrial area via that intersection.
What they will do, is come off the highway at that interchange, have to turn right to bypass the station. when they rejoin the main road the have to use the 2 lanes which takes them to the next interchange along the highway. THEN they will go all the way around it, to drive back in to the industrial area using the same road. So they can get into the industrial area, but it is prompting them to use the 2nd junction.
likewise anyone wanting to leave the industrial area would be able to use the other junction.
I don't think he intended it, but restricting entering the industrial area to use one junction and those leaving to use the other is actually a good idea as there is less requirement to change lanes on the roundabouts which is what slows things up.
Not a little mistake, led to much of the trouble for the rest of the video. There are so many more little things that could improve this traffic with better lane management, especially (ironically) on the roundabouts!
@@afrocomber - Actually micromanaging roundabouts is usually a mistake. On those oval-shaped roundabout interchanges he should have either used the arrows (not drawn the lines) like he did on every ground-level roundabout or just down graded to 2 lanes like he wound up doing.
The secret is to only have each lane have one purpose (left, right, or straight), not to necessarily force what lane it goes into. Sometimes that's necessary, but relatively rarely. Honestly, he could have even left the 6 lane roundabouts as 6 lanes if he just fixed the lane arrows to only do one thing in each lane. That's usually enough to get the AI to not be stupid and spread out across available lanes.
What in the world, why am I enjoying this so much?
The detail of this game is insane
The Philippine government should hire you to fix Manila's traffic
all personal in transportation office should buy this game and solve the problem here.
*T R U E*
Living in Atlanta has me salivating for this guy’s traffic management skills. Do you do IRL commissions?
i've never heard of this game or this channel but you're such a lovable commentator i had to subscribe!!
when you said welcome and thank you to new viewers.... had me like 🥰🥰🥰🥰
these kind of videos are so interesting!
Thankyou 😁👍
Excellent video Biffa, I love the walkthrough of the tools for the newbies. Too many people forget about the newbies and don't explain the what and why before they dive in deep.
Thank you for the elevated pathway @11:00 which connected the two metro lines, I feel like you put that there just for me 😁😁
I learn so much watching your videos, a lot more than playing on my own. You made me reinstall Cities, trying to fix my horrificly bad, but much loved, cities. Thank you!
Should have randomly added a Roundabout in a field somewhere, just to mess with the viewers :p
:P
XD
Watching this again since you linked it in your latest New Tealand video.
By the gods, the mods you use really have improved in the last two years. Just the roundabout set up being a one-click thing removes so many clicks! :D
I have no idea why this was recommended to me but I ended up really enjoying the video and didn't skip past anything! Who would have thought it would be so interesting and intriguing to watch someone fix traffic, not me! Great video, keep up the amazing work!!
when a city has more road surface than buildin area^^
I've never played Cities and I have no idea why I keep watching these.
Hahaha, same
As long as you enjoy them! :-)
@@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines sure do!
Hey Mr. Biffa, watching you fixing city traffic after another city traffic is some what kinda therapeutic! Thanx very much!
I was having pretty bad anxiety today & watching this has helped calm me down. So thank you.
24:30 - everyone noticed left-most lane is literally ONLY for turning around, right?
Exactly why I'm looking at the comments :D
To be fair the arrow doesn't show up on the in-game road and he just missed it's there in the mod too. Not saying it didn't bother me either but it's an easy one to miss.
That's why I like wiggling my intersections with move it mod. Lanes must appear properly.
Too bad, @@deniz_dee, many cities in real life like to keep their highway lanes and signage as confusing as possible.
@@adamgray1753 lol tell me about it, we're often lucky to have functional traffic lights in my town even. And there are only four, on the national road. There are roundabout signs but no yield when approaching :p. Would've needed a serious biffa treatment if the place wasn't small enough to het away with it.
Biffa, @@deniz_dee, would be a millionaire by the end of the month coming to the States to fix our many critical traffic problems. Lol
17:38 - Lane Mathematics has one major risk associated with it; you can accidentally overly limit the routes cars can take. At this timestamp you linked the two incoming lanes from the highway to go right only, and the cars have no way to switch lanes in between. In this case the cars have to circle around a huge distance to get to the cargo terminal. In many of mistakes I made I accidentally destroyed busroutes, limited access to certain areas and created traffic jams due to cars being limited too much. Something you could go into in your next traffic fix using lane management :)
this! The cars coming on from the highway in this system actually have to go off the highway at the next exit, there's literally no other route for them to go
This was absolute pleasure to watch your work. Great video!
I usually don't have these problems in my city, but I do enjoy watching your videos :D It's strangely satisfying to see chaos turned to order. If I might suggest another small mod called Pedestrian crossings by Spectra. It adds another node with pedestrian crossing which could be very useful for those connection metro stations - pedestrians won't have to go all the way around. Additional node won't be a problem in cities you're fixing ;) Keep the videos coming, and I'll keep liking them.
This was surprisingly satisfying to watch
3 years in the future
Biffa: your roads are all wonky
New York Mayor: "Ooohh"
What a soothing video, like an awesome teacher. I don't even play this game, yet you made it interesting enough for me to keep watching. Truly outstanding!
Thanks for all these videos. I've made my cities so much more fluid and better running thanks to the many tips you show in these!
Before watching Biffa fixes cities: Traffic? More lanes for you!
After watching Biffa fixes cities: Traffic? Less lanes for you!
Begone horky-borkyness with a sip of tea :)
:-)
Indeed, even in real life, more lanes just means more choices. If you have more choices you are more likely to make the wrong choice.
I'm still learning that, less is more in road management.
@@destynnee
But more important is lane management and ristricting choices.
Here we have a 3 way highway which get's 4 lanes off which splits in 2 for each which then has to weave into 1 into the next highway.
Which clogs up every day since they upgraded it.
If they would just narrow the other main road from 3 to 2 and gave my road 1 lane access it would have been solved with just some paint.
I'm the exact same. I'm that idiot who even doubled up his six lane roads at certain points. It helps a little bit to a point, if you place the junctions right, but not by much. To be fair in the base game you don't have nearly as many options available. Makes it tough.
I never thought a video about traffic would be so interesting.
Thanks again Biffa. Answered a few questions and gave me so many ideas on how to improve and build up. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I love watching these vids to gain a much better understanding of the game mechanics, Biffa you are a traffic god
Yo my man Biffa!
First of all I love your videos, and I've been following the fix my city series and I'm really enjoying it.
I have a content suggestion for you.
Some sort of "Rate my city" series.
Short videos (5 minutes aprox.) where we (your audience) send you cities and you showcase them giving some sort of feedback. Critics, suggestions, appraisal, likes/dislikes... that sort of thing.
I think it would be a great interaction between you and your audience just like the fix my city!
Cheers!!!
Genuinely can’t stop watching these. Must’ve watched 20 in the last week
Nice :-)
:D
UA-cams Algorithm actually worked. I had never seen this series but love watching this game. Your idea of fixing peoples worlds is a really good fun one to watch. Whats even better is seeing theres 40 more episodes to watch.
never knew i would be watching someone fix traffic and enjoying it so much
Nice :-)
A Biffa vid with NO roundabout construction??? :O Also the person who submitted this city has an eye for beauty, it is really pleasing to look at!
aww thanks a lot :)
And we appreciate your amazing content!
Thank you Mike Allain :-)
Always a pleasure watching. Thanks Biff
I haven't played this for a long time, I had to reinstall after watching! Really liked the traffic tips!
I'm glad UA-cam recommended this, now i want to play this game.
Could you imagine living in this city with all these constant changes appearing and disapearing instantly! Freaky stuff!
how do we know that doesn't happen 'IRL' what if it happens but there is a 'construction mist' that makes it all appear like its just normal construction :P
That smooth traffic flow is beautiful, nice job :D
At this point I don’t even play city skylines anymore I just watch your videos and that’s good enough for me
For the industrial zone the lane management isn't that good as you think ;)
Because of the intersections are too close to each other, you cannot switch lanes to enter the industrial zone, so you have to move out again immediately.
Indeed, people comming in go through the cargo hub, straight into the next roundabout across the highway. People that are already in the industrial zone have to go around for ever without any escape!
Yup... which is exactly why all that traffic went through the recycle district, those other two intersections are only good for leaving the industrial area, and going to the train terminal now. It should be set up so that the right-most lane must go into the train terminal, and the left can either turn or go straight, then make the 4 lane road a 5 lane road. Fixed.
This makes me want to play the game, not to build a city but to actually just manage traffic throughput! Oh dear lord... xD
This is basically every game of Cities Skylines though
Always fun to watch someone who knows what he's doing play these games.
Omg i had a long break so Traffic ++ was gone and I was looking for a tool like this thank you so much ♡ finally i can fix my intersections!
Immediately, I saw that the various neighborhood "islands" needed several non-highway direct connections--which did get addressed after the pressing interchange issues. 👍 Did I pass the quiz? :) I tend to let the highways go around everything and then have six-lane arterial roads do the fast connections between city areas. That keeps traffic hovering at around 80%.
17:30 - 18:00 They dont have room to lane change?
Just what I was thinking, there isn't another node in the middle where they can switch to go straight... he does seem to rush sometimes and overlook things like this.
They are just going to end up leaving right away again, go around in a circle and enter the industrial area again
But they can go on the two-lane road to exit.
Hi from a new subscriber! You've been revolutionizing my in-game traffic and it's wonderful! My fiance and I play this game and he always says my games turn into Traffic Simulator. (I say he plays Let's Plant Some Trees and Dredge a River.) But now I've been able to actually play more of the game! Thank you!!
👍
Why is watching this so satisfying? Just watching traffic go from being clogged up, all the way through to flowing smoothly.
I love how to fix traffic, you just made traffic drive the way it is supposed to haha
Me driving these days now: this is a perfect place to place a roundabout.
Why can't I stop watching these? I've never played this game on my life but I still watch and I don't know why.
“What have you learned?” I learned the YT algo finally got one right! So glad this was recommended. I also learned “lane mathematics!” Good show!
Thanks! davidinark :-)
What? You built no roundabouts? *WARNING: IMPOSTER BIFFA!*
7:05 that one driver was like "roads? Where we're going we don't need roads...oh wait yes we do jk" lol
Been watching a ton of your videos. Really rejuvenated my desire to play again! (And allowed me to not have gridlock traffic) Thank you good sir =)
Nice :-)
Biffa when to continue the university series?
I have never seen this game before, but I feel like my actual hometown needs you to fix it. Our infrastructure is a mess.
This has been the best half an hour i have spent on UA-cam for a looong time. Never knew about this game, though i played the original Sim City in the 80s on Amiga, so i understood the concept. Now, i can't decide what i presses me most. The depth and thought underlying this game, or your skills with it.
This should be mandatory to play and graduate in, for city planners and infrastructural planners. :-)
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it :-)
This was one of the best videos I have ever seen. Fixing my traffic will be much easier now, thanks.
6-lane roads fever now Strikes on the Roundabouts ....NOOOO!! :P
Weird but useful with this "Lane Mathematics" if you put 3 lanes to exit and 3 to keep turning around. But I suspect the Lanes changing will make it a completely mess
I'm starting to think that's why my one city is stuck dead at like 5%. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Less is more I guess.
Wow I'm half an hour early
Btw what about a challenge variation where you build a transit-oriented city, or improve an 80%+ traffic as much as possible? Lol
I have no idea what this is, but it is so freaking soothing. You're like a Let's Play Bob Ross!
This is so calming to watch
17:39 Wouldn't this force everyone coming from the highway to take that bottom road and prevent anyone from within the district to enter that same bottom road (w/out having to enter onto the highway again)?
Yup unless they do lane switching they have to loop around
