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.

@BadgerOff32 5 жыл бұрын

Man, I wish I could upload my city for you to have a look at! I play it on the PS4 though so I don't think I can. My problem is not traffic. My traffic flow is actually really good, and usually sits at around 70%, and I have an *extensive* public transport system that runs like clockwork. My population fluctuates between 130k and 160k, and the city is built with a fairly simple grid pattern. The problem I have is shops can never seem to get enough goods to sell, which leads to tons of abandoned buildings all over the city, constantly! (which causes the population fluctuations). I have a forestry industrial district to the south with a train cargo hub (and decent traffic flow in and out), I have a harbour/train cargo hub in the harbour to the east with great traffic flow out (it does get a little backed up coming back in, but only on the slip road down to the cargo harbour which isn't a problem), and I have a train cargo hub in the south-east hills for the Chirp-X launch site (which admittedly doesn't seem to get used at all). The outside trains are not getting clogged up anywhere, and trucks can get into the city easily, but still I have shops closing down constantly! It's really annoying me. Every time I load the city I'll pause it and demolish all the abandoned buildings, but if I run the game for 5 minutes the city gets covered with abandoned buildings again. A similar problem happens with death waves too sometimes. It's so frustrating. Other than abandoned buildings and death waves, my city runs perfectly (or at least seems to...)

Plus we don’t have an extra lane after the highways entrances, we just have to pray we someone lets us merge immediately onto the highway from the entrance ramp.

Yes, that's what I thought, too. Just look at the broken metro lines. Why? And all "interruptions" are about the size a metro station would take. Once they were there, but they were removed - I'm pretty sure about this. And look at this amount of 6 lane roads at about minute 16 - that's not a real city project, that's a challenge. Whatever - if this mess was intended or not … if "I have some serious problems, please help" or "I intentionally built some serious problems, let's see what biffa can do" is true … nice to see that stuff being fixed.

One thing I've learned is the moment you unlock trains, you connect EVERYTHING with trains. My biggest traffic hurdle in my current 600k pop city is train management and station traffic management. Having cargo train terminals and cargo train harbors makes a world of difference in traffic. Civilian traffic is second to cargo traffic since cars are smaller than trucks. Also I play with tmpe and have despawning disabled and never had traffic lower than 65% with an average of 90%. Never try to fix poorly designed intersections like in the video, just demo them and build them right.

I'll add the caveat cargo terminals aren't profitable, with small use cases in cross city travel if you already use rail for passengers profitably.

@16:00 Biffa, you overlooked the real problem as to why traffic in that area was bad. The majority of that traffic was cutting through that neighborhood to get to the highways on either side of that neighborhood. WHY IS EVERYONE AFRAID OF OVERPASSES?!?! (LOL!). You don't have to rely on a highway to connect all of your districts together! Having minor roads crossing over your highways without an interchange works wonders for your cities! Closely spaced intersections will wreck your traffic, that's happened several times with me. For example, I had traffic congestion at a folded diamond interchange because only two or three cars would pass through at a time so as to not block the intersection. I fixed that issue by replacing the separate on and off-ramps for the highway with a single road and having the ramps split off away from the problem area.

@julianlaresch6266 2 жыл бұрын

I have all my highway on/off ramps in a diamond pattern where the highway goes up and over a 4 lane 2 way road, there's an off and on ramp that turns into to a 2 lane 1 way, which go out a ways and connect to the 4 lane 2 way. Going off the highway you can go left or right, going onto the highway you can go from the 4 lane road only. I see a lot of this type of road in real life. The intersections controlled by traffic lights. Between the off and on ramp I take off a lane

Joseph Boyd why are more lanes not good? I’ve only been playing it for like a week, and what I did was put one six lane road around the outside, and all the little streets that go across are four lane ones, I noticed that if I did all of them across I’d have a lot of intersections one next to the other so i connected one to the Main Street on the right, one to the Main Street on the left, and then connected both of them down the middle so people have access to both main roads that are on the side without too many intersections, for now my traffic is fine, but I’m only at 40.000

@strictnonconformist7369 4 жыл бұрын

Vale Conti I need to spend more time playing C:S, but I'm a software engineer by trade, and there are some interesting things to consider with traffic on roads that is similar to multithreaded code. The more lanes there are, and especially with bidirectional roads, the more time it takes for drivers to deal with switching between lanes and turning, and being blocked by other people turning. The more intersections you have, the more decision points you need to deal with. The more ways at each intersection, the worse it gets: this is why roundabouts are surprisingly effective in many cases, because any given driver only needs to know: is there a space for me to get onto the round part, or not, as opposed to: can I cross in front of several lanes of traffic that need to time themselves just right so there's a gap if I'm turning across oncoming traffic? That, and people going from one far side to the other across all the lanes: if you only need to go straight through on a many-laned bit of road, and there are no turns, you can do that efficiently. The problem is that eventually, all roads have turnoffs, and the closer they are together, the more snarled things get as people try to go from one lane to another, repeatedly. All the extra lanes result in extra contention. Meanwhile, if you only have roads going in the same direction, you never need to worry about being blocked by those turning from oncoming traffic. The most theoretically-efficient solution available for turns involves a turn lane that goes off to the side you want to turn, not at the same speed as the through traffic to allow deceleration, and the same for those getting onto a major road: if everything were one-way, there'd be no opposing traffic to worry about turns going across and blocking traffic. I have a design I need to try based on that, that's a regular larger grid (not square, but a mix of 2 regular polygons) for large general units of the map, and then the more localized parts in the middle of each of these, that based on the 2 km squares by default of C:S would result in one of these per square, and it'd be fairly amenable to the quirks of random variation in landscape (ie. it doesn't need to slavishly adhere to an absolutely perfect grid) and each of the larger grid units would likely have a large roundabout in the middle, but even if the roads allow those to drive completely through these large grids, by setting lower speed limits and making the roads narrower, it'd take longer and not be attractive to drive in and out of them unless you intended to visit something inside explicitly. Part of the objective also is to provide a walkable system along with mass transit being a built-in objective: with the larger cell-grid by design resulting in bus/mass transit stops that are very consistent and in easy walking distance, with the objective to also have pedestrian paths to further encourage cims to be efficient. The ideal case (if it works as desired) is that roundabouts wouldn't be used in the highest traffic areas between these large grid cells, but instead, in the middle of them for more localized traffic: on and off ramps/lanes would be the interface to the major roads, and the major roads would only ever have 2 major roads merging equally together, and dividing into 2 ways apart between the major grid/cells. If it works perfectly the first time, that'd be a fun surprise: I don't know if I can satisfy all the constraints for cim needs with services while not having industrial pollution or noise pollution with this concept until I see how it can be balanced.

Great series of "Road Fixes" videos. A tip I find useful in vanilla mode is to build out the city with your own (Not pre-loaded with map). Leading them to nowhere with ramp and bridge connections to towns ( Forcing A.I to use Highway EXIT points to leave any town sections). As traffic can now stay on the highway and travel through your city at 100 speed from map entry to exit.

@alienrenders 5 жыл бұрын

I somewhat disagree about turning intersections on before getting on roundabouts. It slows everything down and I keep running into a problem with that where one lane enters and exits leaving all other roads waiting forever. Enjoyed this one. Those are some massive roads in those neighbourhoods :) If anyone wants to try this, I'll describe a roundabout setup below for huge amounts of connecting roads. I'm using this massive roundabout with 14 roads connecting to it and it is amazing. You normally have two parallel roads that go on for some length and then have them loop at each end. Here's the description on how to set it up. It requires some lane management. The basic trick is that cars either exit or move one lane over (toward the center of the roundabout). This means the outermost lane is always 100% free for traffic to flow right in. And cars that travel far will use the inner lane. This roundabout is 100% IMMUNE to traffic. The only thing that can seriously affect it is if your connecting roads can't take the outgoing traffic from the roundabout. This set up is for using 3 lane highway roundabouts but can be extended to larger roads. Should have at least 5 connecting side roads with about one full roundabout road unit segment between each side road. Otherwise, just use a regular roundabout. I'm using the term "inner lane" as the lane nearest the center of the roundabout. Without a roundabout, this is usually called the outer (or far) lane. Apologies for any confusion. 1. All incoming connecting roads must all enter into the nearest lane. No exceptions. Even if you connect a 3 lane road, use TM lane management to make them all go into the same outermost (nearest) lane of the roundabout. 2. The outermost lane of the roundabout must exit or move to the center lane. Cars must not be allowed to go straight. This clears the lane for the cars entering in #1. 3. The center lane of the roundabout must exit or move to the innermost lane. Cars cannot go straight. Unlike entering lanes, exiting lanes can be separated out. It's actually better to do this. 4. The innermost lane of the roundabout can go straight, or into the center lane or exit. 5. If you have a one way exit connected to the roundabout, the two outermost lanes of the roundabout may exit or go straight. The inner lane must go straight and cannot exit. 6. Allow all cars to pass through intersections right away. Remove the restriction in traffic manager (make the intersection pass through icon green) for everything. It should be green for the roundabout and for the connecting road since the innermost lane is always 100% clear. Disable all pedestrian crossings inside the roundabout. For better speed, disable crossings at the connecting roads too, but you'll have to build separate walkways for pedestrians. 7. Remove all yields, stops and lights. You don't need them. Let it run. There are only two things that will slow down cars a little inside the roundabout. 1. Cars merging onto the innermost lane when the roundabout is busy. 2. Cars exiting from the middle or inner lane temporarily blocking the two outside lanes. This is a really cool roundabout to see in action. All three lanes are used with massive amounts of traffic flowing through without problems. Enjoy!

Assuming UK, only in a handful of councils in the UK are directly responsible for traffic issues with poor road design. That almost makes you identifiable if it is indeed council caused. More often then not they've already implemented the best solutions that they can fit or afford. Once you start studying it and the reason behind it you become quite impressed. I don't see an excuse for any non traffic lit dumbbell junctions though, they are the bane of the country. Regular roundabouts and one way systems are bad enough for deadlock, but put two together in high traffic areas it is a nightmare. You need no stopping zones too. They're a mess. Horn junctions are, however, incredibly beautiful. The maintenance cost saving is a big deal in CS even, with a single 2 way highway bridge being all you need most of the time.

Hello Biffa, started watching your videos recently, really made me think before setting up a city and sorting things out before going out of control I know you are against traffic lights, but I found that they can sometimes be usefull, if set up correctly. You can allow the cars to turn right (or left since you're in the UK) even if the light is red. this helped me a few times when setting up traffic lights when just priority wasn't doing it. could be worth having a look into it :)

For the Highway Junctions: I'd have done it that the 3-lane Highway get's a turning-lane and loses it (cut down to 2 way) and then when they're joining back in, they got their 3rd lane back. Also, ther were a couple of times where the 6-lane roads should have been cut down to 4-lane roads so they don't have to merge from 3 lanes to two lanes (they'd have to decide it on the junction and can flow nice and easily). ^^ But I love this series! 😊💪🏼

But after looking at that intersection my spaghetti looks like the best intersection ever, I have a plan for it, because I have an intersection in the centre of my citty that manages to deal with ~50% of the traffic coming from a city of 120k, it's basically a regular cloverleaf, but surrounded by a roundabout and done in such a way that roughly 50% of the traffic that need to turn around doesn't use the clove leafs, which seems to work really well, and that is with traffic despawning turned off, so it's a really nice intersection.

looks like its made by someone who has not planned properly, and eventually tries to fix the issues by building more roads and wider roads without actually trying to see whats causing the issues... adding more / wider roads DOESNT help unless the people are using them . more junctions = slower traffic, there's no point in having a super tight grid with just enough room for dense residential, if the traffic is so bad that the houses end up abandoned. like at @17:54 where its basically just a solid grid forever.... it makes traffic management a complete nightmare... cars usually stop at every single junction making the problems worse than ever. have nice long roads with just a few junctions in them :) more public transport = less traffic on the roads in general. , same as cycle lanes, they also help reduce overall traffic. one way systems are a GOOD thing... they might be annoying as hell irl , but theyre awesome to manage traffic flow in dense areas.
