    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.

      From this point on about 100.000 people die, and my economy crashes. I don't know how to avoid this. I play on a potato, so if you could avoid using too many mods, I'd appreciate it, as I am not able to run mods.
      In addition my Metro and Rail Network is a total mess, and I feel the ~80% traffic flow is a lie.
      Help me, Biffa, my city is dying.
      ps. if you have any tips for draining out the remaining river so I can fit the chirpX launch site, I'd appreciate it.

      Every time I see a video like this I don't understand it. I don't understand the way some people play and why they end up resorting to others to solve their own problems in a game that is about solving problems...
      It seems that neither one really wants to play the game. The fun of creating a city is just to create a city yourself and not resort to another to redo what you did wrong.
      It's like I'm playing chess and at some point saying: "Hey UA-cam friend, I can not win this game and I'm about to lose, this guy is really good and I need help to beat him."... Then comes the UA-cam friend, makes some moves and leaves the board to the point of checkmate. I return to the board, and in a couple of moves I achieves checkmate. Then I feel good about myself for winning... WTF!!!

      Hey Biffa.
      A learned a lot from your videos (mostly traffic management), but this city under my control has reached a point, and the population is not growing whatever I'm doing. Can you please teak a look at it and help me fix if it's possible.

    I don't think that's how the monorail is supposed to work... there are roads with the tracks already on them. You had anarchy on and just plopped track support poles in the driving lanes...
    Also, that's way too many stations in such a small area.

    I like that you're doing lane REDUCTIONS on this map, rather than just bumping up lane count before exits and after on ramps. Reducing lanes can be just as effective (in this game) for managing traffic.
    Have you seen a mod that can provide a traffic counter for a selected road segment? It would be nice to know things like "cars per day" or "cars per week" similar to what we get for metro stations.
    Great video! *sip o' tea*

Now you go here, you go here, you go here, you go here. They'll do a bit of horky-borky lane switching but that's alright. I'll run the game a bit and let it figure itself out. There! 98% traffic!"

    I've discovered you some times ago with your more recent traffic fixes and lane mathematics has become so natural to me when I play C:S that when I watch your older fixes and see that "reverse" lane mathematics you used to do it feels so strange and counter intuitive. Really amazing how it helps and how much it's used around my country irl but it feels so weird to use in that game.

    With that turbine interchange, I always replace where there's two off ramps merging with a two lane highway to mitigate that jam up. Then I usually do two lane and Two lane into 4 lane.

  • @chibicassy
    @chibicassy 5 років тому

    Thanks to you and your tips, my glorious city of "FirstTry" (yeah, I suck at naming things) recovered from 23% of traffic flow to now 87%. It just took a grand total of 6 roundabouts, some traffic managing, one "bypass" street for the farmers to the cargo station, and two hours full of cursing and fiddling around.
    I finally figured out how to raise streets above ground level, so I even got those fancy pedestrian crossings above the streets ;)
    Keep up the good work! I enjoy every video of you and I "blame" you that I bought this game (and all the hours of fun I had with it so far.)

    19:30 the cargo hub area reminds me when i use to deliver produce down into San Fran. They would charge you to come in to the place then had to pay for every dock you bumped then pay again to leave. ( turned out the mob owned the damn place ) avg cost about $300 every time to get in there.

    In this episode, Biffa, experiences, the horrors, the HORRORS, that residents of the cities he's sent experience. When he levels the roads and the highways without warning.

  • @brendanblanks4438
    @brendanblanks4438 5 років тому

    Hey, Biffa. Love your videos. I realized one thing you could do for the cargo terminal feeder fix you did that would reduce the impact of your changes. You could use the traffic manager to make the outside lane of that original 6-lane road a "dedicated" one. It's similar to how highway off-ramps get a run-off lane, so that thru-traffic ignores that outside lane and keeps on going past. I don't know if that's an optimal solution or not, but it seemed like this was a good use case for that, especially since the city did not have infinite money active.

  • @gonepearshape3043
    @gonepearshape3043 5 років тому

    @16:21 I had the same issue with that interchange, but a quick fix makes it very viable, I added two-lane only too the connecting roads as the two lanes into one bottleneck was then eliminated.
    then doing the usual four-lane upgrade and lane managing the exits into separate lanes giving two for the thru traffic.
    I also downgraded the three-lane crossover points to two lanes, flows beautifully now.

  • @lilianahudler4378
    @lilianahudler4378 5 років тому +1

    Have a two-lane road going directly into the doors of cargo stations, rather a one way road that runs parallel. It's much faster, the trucks do not need to slow down at all to enter and exit the cargo station, and it connects up just fine. It's a little finicky placing it in exactly the right spot so that the trucks can drive in a perfectly straight line, but once you got it your cargo station traffic will move much much much faster

  • @SIG442
    @SIG442 5 років тому

    1:01 using this map would make it a little easier to explain this one I think, the road that comes from the south seen from this perspective could use a additional change. The T-crossing in there may need to change to a 4-way crossing. This way you could use the new road to connect to the city block on the east side of that highway as well. It would give a additional way for the people that wish to go there or leave from there. I notice you added only slip lanes to that area if I payed well enough attention (sorry, had surgery yesterday and still rather fuzzy before my eyes, haha)
    15:55 That roundabout type (steam workshop item) is indeed a bit odd. Yes it will need a update to make it work a lot better. But aside from that it really isn't the worst I see on the steam workshop by far, this one is actually one of the better ones even but far from perfect.

      I play on console and traffic manager is not an option but my traffic is constantly above 83% and more. I've had many completed cities with traffic flow at 85% or more even. It definitely can be done without traffic mod but it takes alot of playing time and also UA-cam is full of how to videos of traffic management including one's without traffic mod. Obviously traffic mod makes it alot easier and if I had the choice to have it I probably would use it just for the fact of that is the only way you can make cars use just certain lanes without manipulating the roads. Other than that with the right planning traffic management can be done without traffic mod. It does take alot of playing time and watching videos to get good with traffic without mods.

    Wouldn't the "sponge" for the cargo area be more beneficial for the incoming traffic rather than the outgoing traffic? I would think the outgoing you would want to get out onto the roads as quick as you could and the incoming would be more of a build up. Although, I suppose it wouldn't much matter if they leave as quick as they come.

      Despawning beef? I just got some comments about using despawning, but the TM:PE settings are save dependant, so they are set how the save owner had them set...but I much prefer the challenge of fixing with no despawning...using car despawning is far too easy to fix (no comments on other city fixing channels) ;-)

  • @russelljacob7955
    @russelljacob7955 5 років тому

    Interesting thing found in testing. Your rail depot sponges? Dont actually increase the flow/buffer traffic as much as one thinks. Turns out what it does is it increases road distance and that seems to slow demand.
    Having side road is good though for as you show, keeping them out of main traffic, but what I recommend instead of sponge? more depots! Spread out them demands so it doesnt back up in addition to a parallel siding!

    • @BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines
      @BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines  5 років тому +1

    • @russelljacob7955
      @russelljacob7955 5 років тому

      @@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines Indeed! But I did some checking, and having it snake actually seems to reduce demand because the road is longer. I run a side road parallel, separate from main industrial road too, but use a few terminals now.
      It is like how traffic will shortcut through a city if it is quicker than going up onto the highway. Trucks will export by city if rail connection is further. It also can spread out trains as city grows so they dont back up at one terminal.
      Just a suggestion for perhaps something different to try if you get a city fix where terminal backs up and no space to isolate nicely. See where terminal traffic is coming from, perhaps can split it up. Less snake also means more will use terminals. So it reduces truck exports as well as long distance import hauling.
      Latest city of mine for example has six to service a large scale central industrial complex. Is something to behold seeing all of the trains zipping about and no jamming up.

    I have 130k city, i don't use mods for traffic, i don't have public transport (middle of remaking it) and my traffic still flows at 85%. Use roundabouts on major roads and have plenty of exits(shortcuts) from inner city to highways. Make industrial zones have their own place with highway connection, so they don't interfere with civil traffic.

  • @watchthe1369
    @watchthe1369 5 років тому

    A pattern I am seeing is making 3 ways in and out of an area. One of those ways should be a main artery, and another that can handle higher flow too. The turbine interchanges need to have 2 lanes joining the main roads to keep flowing too.

  • @sunriselg
    @sunriselg 5 років тому

    The turbine interchange works really well, if you set up all lanes. So 1+1+2=2+2=4 (the ones going roud are one lane, they merge into two lanes and those two lanes merge with two lanes of straight traffic). If you leave the merge as one lane, you get problems. - Edit: a minute later you did exactly that.

    Its always amazing how a few roundabouts fix up traffic so much! I dont know how it is in other countries, but there really aren't too many roundabouts in America. Sure seems it would fix up a lot of the terrible highway traffic!

    • @MyNotSoHumbleOpinion
      @MyNotSoHumbleOpinion 5 років тому

      in real life roundabouts are insidious. they must be carefully planned considering the right alternation between high-traffic roads to avoid damage! In my city there was a big intersection surmounted by a huge overpass that allowed to bypass the intersection for those who went straight and everything worked well. Recently it was demolished for old age and replaced by a huge roundabout ... now it takes an hour to cross it. In another area, building a roundabout proved to be the holy grail of traffic-solving
