➤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.
- 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

I don't even play the game, but I love the progressive fixing of a clogged system for some reason. And the accent. Ok, it might be mostly the accent.
😁
I'm the same
What accent?
I usually don't like British accents, but biffa sounds more casual and soothing than others I've heard.
@@joshbenson4640 It's the tea.
Well, when you spend more time one this channel than actually playing the game, then you are doing something right :) You also have something that i feel is under appreciated for a UA-cam channel. You have a pleasant voice. That's important if you are going to listen to it for 30 minutes each video ...
Now take a sip of tea ;)
Many thanks 👍😁👍
Pleasant voices are very important on UA-cam. They are perfect to fall asleep to ;)
One thing I learned from this series of videos. "My giddy Aunt" as an expression of surprise. :)
When doing lane management, who else now also says "you go there, you go there, aaand you go there." ?
WTF! ... I can't even seem to get a city to grow at all (I need to watch another tutorial video for beginners) ... but I am sooooo addicted to watching Biffa fix traffic.
LOL Good to hear that I am not alone 😂 "Just one more video, before I go to bed... OMG it is 3.00 in the night!! 😂🙈🙈
Biffa! I just started watching your videos a week or so ago to help improve my city building, and in my first city with 100k people I got the traffic from a dismal 65% to a happy 80%+ using your tips!! And in my current city of only 20k my traffic is always over 90%!!!! It’s unbelievable
You’ve taught me a ton about the game, and you’ve made me love it even more!
Excellent 😁👍
When you have a roundabout and i.e. a highway ends right on there, you have a separate in and out road (unlike the normal city roads). You can downgrade the little bit of road in between to create an automatic example of lane mathematics. So it's not completely useless to do it. Though the way it's been done by the creator with his roundabouts was appalling indeed
I've never played this game, but I cannot get enough of these videos!
Something so calming about making order out of chaos. Plus I've been drinking more tea! :D
Enjoy the tea 😋
I wish they'd add a City Fix DLC, which gives you a randomly generated city with terrible traffic and you need to fix the traffic with your tools.
I have been binging these fix it videos ever since the first one showed up in my recommended list
I find these videos so relaxing. Thank you!
You're welcome 👍😁
I got on the round about in my town and I heard Biffas voice : "You give way, give way, and you...pass through"
These videos have really gotten me interested in this game (and traffic management, your lane mathematics are haunting my mind while moving in traffic). Anyone that have the game, about how hard is it on your computer? I'm thinking there are a lot of moving cars (hopefully) and a bug place etc and I don't want to buy it and not being able to play ya know (:
7:33 yeah, there was plenty of lane mathematics you've done where they were already there although done a little wonky :D I think it helped since you've added more lanes rather then less which made more sense since it was busy.
15:30 and 18:03 there were some asymmetrical roads you didn't notice when upgrading. should take more time counting the lanes before upgrading them. I guess its hard to see them clearly when there's this much traffic. for a moment I felt like watching the "Troll Roundabounds" from the other one :D
I started to use a lot of asymmetrical roads recently I think it might be thanks to your vids.
I was so glad you added that extra junction on the highway for the industrial area - I was think about it as well
hell of a job fixing this one! that was so chock-a-blockc, cheers!
12:30 "we're gonna make this four lanes" -> changes four lanes to different four lanes xD
Thank you Biffa for this mesmerizing demonstration of your traffic sorting skills!!!
But I would love to see you come up with an another user scenario for your videos. I'll explain :
It seems to me that you always first focus on the main subject of your videos : traffic flow.
What if, for another playlist, you tried to sort traffic without using traffic mods but as a last resort.
That would push you to focus first on :
1) Area distribution (where's the industry, where are residential areas, is it properly connected to outside coming trains and traffic?)
2) Does it have public transportation networks, and can it be optimized ?
3) What's the goal ? > increase population from .. to ..? Decrease traffic at the max? Cashflow of the city at +100k$?
I feel like you could shine with a little bit of diversification with your "Fix your city" format.
Maybe something between Teaville format (the way you design and plan everything) and this current one (fixing as efficiently as possible) would be a blast!
Cheers, wish you lots of sips of tee from Paris ;)
The biggest fixes for all of these cities are the fact they use long, one-way roads forcing all the cars to drive further than is really needed. Also more connections to the highway and of course, properly set-up Round-abouts!
Have you ever thought about doing a run on like old school sim City 2000 or Cesar 3? Love the 2% cities to 80% cities.
Watching these videos make me feel good about my city
You just removed the towns famous straight-on-abouts! How dare you?
Man that on-ramp at 29:15 would be a trip to go down.
Heck yah. A legend in the Pinewood Derby circles!
Sing it with me!
You put a left lane there,
and a right lane there,
another left over there,
and you forget a round-about.
Your traffic does the horky-borky,
and they turn themselves around,
and that's why your traffic's backed up.
I've learned so much with/from you. Thank you! Now I just watch these for kicks. & I play PC with no mods... just assets.
😁👍
😳 Intangible cars! 😶😆 If only I could do that in heavy traffic! I'd have it made! Also "Enjoy looking at the traffic!" 😆 Good video, Biffa, looking forward to seeing more... 😌
Argh, the tunnels. Biffa, you're a better person than I am. I would have totally demolished all those random tunnels. 😳
Oh my giddy aunt! Biffa deleted not just one but two unnecessary roundabouts!
New Shirt idea:
Yugo here
&
Hugo there
Biffa, how big are your sips? I'd like to calculate how much tea you must drink on average to not have any left over sips between videos.
Basically how many sips do you need to empty a standard 350ml mug.
About this big
Sllllluuuuuuurrrppp.
Wuuhuu been waiting all day for this!!! Thanks biffa!!!
Been watching your videos and really love them. I have a never played the game and would like to start. Which Game and DLCs should I buy?
Those harsh angles on some of the streets!
10:53 I have a newfound respect for you.
Hope one day you fix my city "Entenhausen" :) Still enjoying the series! Tried to built also a new city using more of your tips
Again with the bottleneck districts! There needs to be more than one way in and out of all the districts. And add walking paths because many of the people will walk instead of taking cars, freeing up even more road space.
Anytime I'm feeling bad about my 50% traffic I just come watch these videos and think at least I'm not this bad.
I also have recently been able to get my traffic up to 80% thanks to some of these tips!
👍
Don't forget walking paths 😄
this is magical, can you do my town too? except i meant my real town
my mistake if there is a video that you did explaining it, but if not could you just go into a bit of detail of the mods you use such as the traffic mod and explain each of the symbols and what they do? been thinking about getting the game and probably gonna use the traffice mod and want to understand it so i can use it correctly.
10:53 guns 'n' roses: sweet child O' mine
Biffa can solve traffic in any major town or city......
....but can he solve coronavirus.
Find out next week
When the video opened, I was thinking...20K population, and 4% traffic?? How is that even possible? .... and then bit by bit the roads were unveiled.
Oh...I see now.
Those were some pretty horrendous roads!
Indeed :-)
As soon as I heard the intro "clink clink" of the spoon I had a sudden urge to make a cuppa...
My mind control is working 👍😁
Me watching cities skylines>me playing it myself
Should I get this game? Also do you need a fast PC to run it?
Yes and maybe
Sometimes I see these and I go... "Did they turn off despawning?" Because they just look horrific and congested and like the game can't completely try and fix things itself.
Biffa, why does your voice remind me of Noel Philips’s voice? 🤔🤔🤔 (flight review you tuber with 113k subs from the uk)
Biffa, how long we need to wait video of teavill. Can you please upload more videos. If you are afraid of finish your city as a whole, you can start new one. We need to wait for a long time new video. Hope you take it into consideration
Videos are Tuesday, Thursday, Sunday. Alternating (usually) Teaville and Fixing 👍
Biffa Plays Indie Games But I think just one video per week about TeaVill and to be honest I already learnt by heart about road fixing, thanks to you, so maybe you increase teavill videos if possible. Thanks in advance 😊
I would love if you could fix my city- It's called manhattan! ahahah
11PM
Still worth it
Now every time I make a round-about, I have my checklist :
- Priority on round-about
- Pick your lane for everyone
- You go threw if you're on the round-about, but not if coming in
- Lane arrow are only used for one direction, never more
The lane arrow thing is really important. It is one I use most of the time
You mean hugo through
Check the speed also. Sometimes vehicles on the roundabout are going to fast for vehicles to enter.
didn't think of this one. good point, thank you! @@jamesrobinson1022
My traffic is always above 80 % because I am using all Biffa traffic tricks but after solving traffic make sure to drink some tea:)
Yes, tea is very important😆
Its the tea that solves the traffic. Biffa runs on tea.
I don't drink tea or use roundabouts... So I only get 60-70% ;)
My traffic always hovers around 80% too ... I only use Biffas tricks where traffic might get a bit heavy. But if you are aware that traffic, in this game, is always going to be a problem, then you can employ the ounce-of-prevention method, and plan/layout your roads accordingly, so that traffic issues, won't be issues.
The two most helpful tips I've learned, are ... manage your lanes, either with connectors or arrows, and always have many, many ways in and out of an area.
Im on xbox :(
Biffa: What's the point of this roundabout?
Me: 😮 😮 😮
Lol 😁
That's not so Biffa
I like your episodes
it goes weeeeeeeeeeee
Professor Biffa: "If you don't know why, you weren't paying attention earlier in the video."
Oh no, there's a quiz coming up!
Welp!
This one just looks like the person who made this was like "how can I mess up traffic as badly as possible before I send it in?".
I get that feeling as well. Either way, it's nice to see Biffa straighten everything out.
ya especially when i see things like that roundabout that he said had no purpose...
@@mattoflaval The roundabout could have been there is preparation for future plans.
It looked like the bonus round-a-bout was originally meant to connected to the main road but as traffic spiraled out of control due to absolutely terrible industry areas, decided to bypass it
it is definitely so, these random multiple lanes in one lane road isnt normal
biffa: hugo there
hugo: where?
Lol :-)
To see Biffa's Giddy Aunt. And Bob's your Uncle. :) (FYI: I believe that Bob's your Uncle means it is Ok. Do not want to start anything like the last post I made) 2x:)
Into the roundabout of course.
Time stamp?
Watch the video yourself 😋
Horky-borky, chok-a-block, and squish-a-bout are now a part of my permanent lexicon.
Plus they are trademarks so send me the money 😁
Careful Biffa, we Kiwi's use some of these too lul.
@Alexander Thompson oh my giddy aunt
@@NiTeHaWKnz Yes We Do
Horky-borky - what thas means? It looks like a Slavic origin.
“We’re just going to do the simple things first.” Hovers over quit button.
Me: It's 12am. I need to wake up at 6am.
UA-cam: Biffa has uploa-
Me: YOU BIT*CH I'M IN !
I'm a console pleb but I can say that if these rules work for me they'll help out anywhere:
•Lane mathematics.
•Use your larger roads for priority transportation.
•Build smaller roads off of the main roads and then plan your buildings off of those.
You got it 👍
Harry Potter: Expelliarmus!
Biffa: Yoogothroo!
I see that they have already used lane mathematics...
This just got interesting...
How cool would it be if he took a well-trafficked city and tried to drop the flow to 0%?
Biffa: Deletes "unnecessary" roundabout
Me: [confused screaming]
The ad on this video was perfectly timed. Ad: get the study that fits you now! Biffa: no nono nono no no!
Lol 👍
Sometimes i think i enjoy watching Biffa fixing traffic more than i like doing it.
Biffa: "Ok we're going to leave this area alone for a minute and see if it clears up because I need to go away for awhile and question my life choices."
Lol indeed 👍
My life 😅😬
this is like the first one of these i’ve seen where biffa seemed like he was genuinely frustrated at the bad decisions made in this city lmao
Oh I hide it well sometimes 😂
Biffa Plays Indie Games wait til I send you my city
I haven't seen all of Biffa's fixes, but this is easily the worst looking road network I've seen him tackle.
Love the before and after format! It's a lot easier to see the differences side by side!
👍
Something about watching these super backed up roads clear makes it feel like I can breathe better. Like there's a big feeling of relief watching them start to move. I don't even play this game and don't intend to, just really relaxing and fun to watch. Super happy you have so much of this content, I can just binge.
i just started making a new city without any mods and i want to hit myself with a brick whenever i can't fix an issue with a next road or a trafic manager setting. truly must-have mods
The other thing you really lose out on is the "no despawning". Not being able to turn despawning off artificially makes you think your doing well at 70-80% traffic but half your cars are disappearing and it leads to people complaining about not enough workers and the like.
Indeed 👍
@@JustaGuy_Gaming That will probably explain why my business keeps complaining of no goods
@@thelastcommander8765 Pretty much as even if you don't produce anything your city would import them. But if the trucks are tied up and despawn it just gives up after a while. Despawn is also super fast, I have seen cars not caught up in any noticeable traffic despawn just cause they hit a traffic light and this is at a fairly small city of about 20k.
I don't know what the limits are but they seem insanely low to start with and in vanilla the only real solution seems to be public transit and walking paths as the pedestrian cap seems to be way higher than cars.
I never had issues with despawning until industries. It seems paradox’s fix for the performance issues was to make cars just...disappear. No mod cities just arent possible anymore. Idfk how i made a 250,000 pop vanilla city with 80+% traffic with no mods.
Things you never expect Biffa to say:
"There's no point of that roundabout at all."
Yay! Love a new Biffa video for a mid morning break!
Enjoy :-)
I've been following you for ages, and I can't thank you enough. I'm a console player, and not only have your tips helped me map out my traffic issues in general, but overall you have helped make my cities beautiful and functional. I love how you use mods, but also include those of us who aren't capable of doing so. Forever a follower and subscriber for sure!!
Biffa: you don't have to increase the number of lanes just because it's very busy.
Also Biffa, 10 minutes later: I'm going to increase the number of lanes, because it's very busy.
😋
Is there a Mr. There? A Mr. Hugo There?
When biffa get annoyed at mayor for making a 4 lane main road collapse into a two lane road 😂😂😂. Love these videos.
I laughed every time you zoomed in and there was an ambulance or police car at that intersection XD
Id love to see more beautification city fixes too
Mate I'd be a much longer process, but on the highways you've still got some incorrect lane mathematics. it may look a bit weird sometimes having two lanes go of and one going on, but it will help even more by making sure you never have 4 lanes going down to 3 which is still not ideal of course.
I hope you can see how you could have avoided the 2 + 2 into 3 with the intersection at 5:20, otherwise still great videos I've learned a lot! and it's fun to see how you fix the cities that, to the untrained eye, follow your exact rules. Keep it up with the awesome fixes!
The only problem i have with these vids is that the cities that need the fixing are the ugliest and the worst ones
Possibly the only guy on youtube that does not have annoying phrases, screaming in the mic, 3 minute intros with just talking nonsense, having a 'bro club' and all the charade..
Lol, I have no idea what you mean :P
I feel like this city mustve been someone’s attempt at making a horrible city? Why don’t you want smooth straight roads, so many harsh pieces of road laid out.
I like how your traffic fix grew the city more than 100%. It was like 20.000 when you started and got up really fast to 40.000 inhabitants. Edit: made this comment 30 secs before you mentioned it. Dammit xD
:-)
When I first saw the roundabout near the harbor terminal, my thought was "make that thing bigger, connect the terminal directly to the roundabout, and get rid of the street corner with the police station, instead connect both roads to the bigger roundabout directly, so the cars turning left get a chance to move" :)
tip for industries - better use of local storage (warehouses, etc) dramatically reduces the traffic needing to leave the area. Proper use of storage will result in very little traffic in industry areas.
Brit deletes roundabout
* gets letter the next day*
"Her Majesty requests your presence *_NOW_* "
Thanks for the heart :D
Just found your channel and I love your mod-tips :D
I'm worried about your Aunt, Biffa; she's often giddy. Does she slip something into her tea, perhaps?
16:50 The moment I realized that the new police headquarters of my town was built on a highway side connection from downtown, which was then converted to two-ways, but the reverse direction is chained off for police vehicles usage only to let them go downtown without hitting the old, inefficient roundabout with traffic lights at every single junction connecting to the highway.
That roundabout is just so weird though now that I think about it (great thing they thought of keeping police traffic out of it except for actual highway use). It's got 2 stages, a 2-way primary highway with very few on ramps that bypasses most connections and the bottom part is legally 1-lane each direction only, but it's so wide at many spots it goes up to 3 lanes (lane stripes are a joke in my town) and the primary highway just connects back to have 2 lanes on either end, which is fine since traffic thins out by then. There's a U-turn before the roundabout in one direction, which helps out a lot since it lessens the backlog at the roundabout. 3 lanes (or sometimes 4) on one side of the roundabout, but 2 on the other side. Oh and the intercity bus stop / main city bus depot is also connecting directly to the roundabout.
What's even weirder is how rare you get crashes or gridlocks at that roundabout. And there's another one constructed the same was as this one connecting to the center of the downtown.
Nice change at the end with the Before/After, much prefer it this way.
"Oh, wise man of the mountain, please bless me with your wisdom!" - "Use Lane Mathematics."
In a real city all of your main roads cross over the highway and give everyone options to exit or enter from any direction. Highway interchanges aren't meant to directly run into City streets.. no large city in existence has only one interchange from the highway to a large area. Highway interchanges between highways... Exits/entrances on main streets that CROSS OVER /under the highways. Cities are built so you may never have to use the highway. In-game this is a LOT of road work and isn't always necessary and not everyone is interested in doing ... But I guarantee in the long run it will look better and function better.
I've always wanted to see one where someone uses access (frontage) roads next to their highways.
Thanks for another great episode, what a mess, and a fine job at fixing it up.
Honestly traffic manager is not necessary. Just build a big highway across your city. Thats all
Biffa.... I love your Cities Skyline traffic videos and you have help me with my traffic... I don't not have Twitter or any other social media account. and have a question for you or your Viewers can help with with... I am getting grid locked with trains... but it is only on the outbound trains heading off the map...do you have any suggestions... here is Specs:
( 8 ) Freight Train Terminals
( 4 ) Passenger Terminals
( 2 ) Airport Cargo Terminal With Cargo Stations
( 2 ) Sea Ports
219, 013 People
I will try and make a view but not sure how to.. can you help me
Thanks Mike
It's a shame that console players don't have mods like the one Biffa has, it would be nice if they can implement these features as a core mechanic. But even without mods I'm still able to maintain decent traffic flow with the tricks that biffa shows.
But one of the other things I like about biffa videos is that you can really see how much of a negative impact traffic can have on your city when it gets really low in %. With 4% traffic Net loss of -$200,000 and population of 20,000. With 78% traffic net loss of -$45,000 and a population of 42,000. Such a huge change caused by traffic.
Ive found that, expecially on console where we dont have traffic fixy doodle mods, that looking where cars are going and trying to figure out the root of the problem to fix *cough* cityplanning*cough* is the best strategy. Whenever i notice a big swell of traffic in a city i can usually use the route tool to figure out the problem. Im my experience its either or a combination of A. Industry traffic being forced to cut through suburben areas. Ie. Lots of Brown lines going not just straight onto or off of the highway. B. Workers from subutben areas not having easy acess to industry areas. Purple? I think lines. C. Commercial hot spots/tourist traps not being cut off from the rest of the city. Purple ans lots of pedestrian D. Lack of public transport.E. Not well though out public transport ie. Too many monorail/train/subway stations. F. Lack of walking paths. Because people in your city will def. Want to Walk places instrad of drive if its availible.
Wow! The end comparison is astounding. It's been a few years since I've been able to play (not by choice, I assure you) and I'm not sure which of the traffic things you're using are mods. Since SC2000 one of my favorite things has been to take horrible cities and make them good. Too bad fixing the traffic problems in my real town isn't as easy. The road planners here obviously need to learn some lane math.
I'd like you to take a look at my city please. Los Angeles, and the 405 freeway. 😆 😆 😆 No roundabouts allowed, since this is the US and it would just confuse people.
I think your problem in the city is that you need massive transportation to alleviate the traffic....
Biffa, you gotta start adding highway ramps on and off these cities (earlier and more often, I know you do it sometimes, I know you did it this video). Most of the cities that get sent to you to get fixed only have one entrance and one exit to and from a bunch of their districts. The main reason why people's cities get gridlocked is NOT because of lack of lane mathematics, or badly set up roundabouts, it's because of failure to plan and bottlenecks.
