    15:31 Seems a bit excessive to have 2 rail cargo terminals 200 feet from each other on the same road and the same rail line when the existing one already isn't getting much use. I could see it if you were running an internal and an external rail network, but that's not the case here. At least the older existing one (cargo hub) also does container ships which also directly connects to the cargo harbor on the other side if it doesn't feel like sending a train all the way around. Best thing to do would just to add little roads on either side of the harbor so trucks can turn around right there if they need to, get rid of the new rail terminal since it doesn't add any value to the area, and you gain space back for more ore industry buildings.

    Careful of the direction of traffic around your steel factory and the warehouse and cargo station. Traffic will be doing circles around the complex because of the order of the buildings.
    Also remember to put in warehouses for goods near your commercial areas to keep heavy traffic dropping off goods just outside of the area.

    Maybe some public transports to the industrial areas from the housing estates could help or doing an are with high rise workers housing ldue to the lake of space in islands.Also maybe redesigning the corner with traffic trouble by moving the higway inland and adding an access because you now own the square that was problematic before.

    28:56 Biffa I never get tired of your commitment to reading the 'workers needed' figure on the left and not the 'jobs available' figure on the right 😜 Then again those barracks did the trick so maybe that was deliberate...

    • @simongeard4824
      @simongeard4824 Рік тому +1

      Adding more buildings does work, though. I suspect there's some internal calculation about how it prioritises buildings for hiring... the fewer workers a building needs to meet capacity, the lower the priority for getting new workers. So even if an industry area has enough vacancies to level up, it may not be able to get enough workers for existing buildings - but new buildings starting with zero workers will jump to the top of the queue.

    Heya Biffa! Always love the industry and traffic episodes. Eager to see how it will continue!
    One suggestion: You should make sure that your Industry DLC Warehouses - especially those set on fill - aren't now importing a bunch of goods. Otherwise you'll still have a bunch of stuff coming from the outside.

    Its always the same junction in Biffalo Countea at which you have problems its kind of funny 😂
    I think the main problem is the tram on the road. Maybe you could utilze the space at the bottom and make the tram pass underneath the bridge, so its blocking less traffic and then you can change to more road layouts, because the tram kind of limits you.

    Fishing industry is my usual solution to "not enough goods". For a relatively small investment in space, build a few fishing harbours, build some fish factories, and you'll never be short of consumer goods.
    I just hope CS2 will integrate these things better... the way DLC fishing works differently from DLC industries which works differently from base industries...

    Don't forget that you can use node controller to thin down the quay wall for narrower retaining walls...

    You should solve these big junctions like at 32:12, where the straight traffic, that is crossing tho out-coming traffic with a bridge/tunnel to go under/over the junction, so the out-coming traffic does not have to stop, and would just merge into the main road as a new lane.

    33:00 you should consider making that a roundabout or boulevard/Detroit turn intersection. You would probably have better success with the throughput.
    also the new highway junction by the original square, where you have the cargo rail station, you have the road as two lanes into two lanes going out to the main road. you may want to consider turning that into a two lane one way system with a one lane by the rail station into three turning lanes to meet the main road, to better appease the lane mathematics gods

    It looks like you placed all the one-way roads in front of the new train stations the wrong way around. The one-ways need to go the same direction as the lanes next to the station would if it was a two-way road

    Do you have a mod or theme or something for the visual look of the trees? Your trees look amazing but mine look dull even on max settings.

    I think that you might have left 81 tiles on, that's why you can purchase new tiles..

    Love your shows. Makes my day, and I guess, makes the world a better place.

    Would it help the farming area if you upgraded the road from gravel to tarmac and get goods out faster?
