➤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.

If it was crossing over one of those main streets from one district to another, it would have to go to the ends of the earth and turn a 10 bus line into a 60 bus line because it was so long now.

With the turbo freeway roundabout and you go from 3 to 5 lanes, you also want to use the connection tool to make sure they all stay in their correct lanes. I've had the switching and causing some holdups and dropping my traffic from 75 to about 60%.. But now my city is much larger (creeping up to 240K), those issues are not longer clearly visible as the one bad road has hardly any effect on the total traffic flow.

@lostwizard 4 жыл бұрын

I thought it was probably an attempt at a SPUI, too. However, without the lane connector thing from Traffic Manager, you can't make it behave correctly. The right hand turn ramps were also allowing left and straight through. We have a couple of SPUIs in Calgary. They work well enough, but they do not work well under heavy volumes since they still have the intersection where the turning traffic converges. Their chief advantage is that they take about the same amount of space as a compact diamond and move traffic more efficiently on the signalled road than a regular diamond. That is, less grid locking. However, that intersection is still a choke point and depending on traffic patterns can end up being not much better than a regular diamond.

One thing I like to do when I see drivers on the highway doing crazy things like stopping to cross all the lanes at the same time is that on the node in question I'll put in a "change only lane only" rule. For example, on a 3 lane highway, drivers in Lane 1 can stay in their lane or switch to Lane 2, drivers approaching the node in Lane 2 can stay in lane or change to any other lane (as this would require only lane switch) and from Lane 3 they can stay in lane or switch to Lane 2. This way I can force drivers that are doing something really crazy to just move one lane per node.

A really great rule of thumb for setting up lanes with traffic manager, if a specific direction has to cross any other streams of traffic, it needs its own lane. So for RHD you have dedicated left lanes and if you don't have enough lanes You have ahead and left share one, and for LHD this is simply reversed.

The poor vanilla cloverleaf is just cursed. It works fine as long as your traffic is okay, and the second you accidentally back one up, even if it's just from a sports game finishing, the people clogging up one part of the cloverleaf without fail will always back up the whole thing, so instead of dealing with one road at a standstill, you now have to deal with four. Putting three right in a row is just asking for trouble. Using a properly math-ed, properly "all entries to the junction occur after the exists of the junction" handmade spaghetti junction even is frankly a better option.

I always watch your traffic fix videos trying to understand why the traffic in my city likes to be weird but I haven't figured out yet. I have that connection style that you made on 11:36 from highway to a populated area, after the roundabout going up, my neighbourhood is grid style, so right after the roundabout northbound the main road there has no stop signs, has increased speed limit and goes to another roundabout waaay later down the road to connect to another residential neighbourhood, so I have a big main street connecting the 2 living areas. The issue is: ppl take a hard right as soon as they leave the roundabout from the highway, they go all the way on the side street that is smaller, slower and has traffic lights up to around 5 or 6 blocks then they join the main street again which is wide open and traffic flows nicely there. I haven't figured out why they wanna do that. I even removed the connection right after the roundabout just to see if they stop doing that weirdness but it just changed their turning to the next right turn. What should I do to fix that?

You could have added another option for garbage to go the other direction on the highway. That roundabout was so busy because of all the garbage trucks having to turn around to go the other way on the highway.

I found that the best way to stop traffic from piling up too much is creating simple designs

@ryanevans2682 4 жыл бұрын

Another trick they use in real life is to reduce the speed on roads leading up to known hotspots so that less traffic joins the back before the traffic has cleared from the front. Research shows that on UK motorways jams travel backwards down the road at 7mph as more vehicles join the end after the front clears away. I haven't tried altering any speed limits in CS yet and wondered if any of you would think it worth trying?

Biffa, I think you should build a monoroute "circle" around that big tower that you have in the new area in TeaVille. I think it would be really cool.

It's another city that needs more interdistrict connections. They're all bottlenecking on the highway because that's the only way to get between most of the districts.

Somebody should tell whoever submitted this city that It doesn't make any sense to have all those waste transfer facilities in one place. The point of the facility, as far as I understand, works as a local warehouse. Smaller trucks go to the local neighborhoods and collect the trash. Then, larger trailers will load up from the transfer facility to take the trash to the waste processing complex.

@e1123581321345589144 4 жыл бұрын

14:27 when you have something like that, where you have a central road that stops traffic from crossing over, you do want to keep your city on either side of the road connected, because now you're just forcing them to drive around for nothing. What I usually do... if you look at grid it has so many roads merging to that priority road; you want one road merging in, one road crossing over. I use this technique in some of my cities and it works well, it keeps the main road as a sort of mini highway where people don't cross paths at the junctions and the whole city is moving. but you want people to be able to join from either side in either direction and you want people to be able to cross from one side of the city to the other. The one in one over pattern allows both of those options.

I do way more metro. It seems to not be as buggy as before. I also make sure there are train stations near any industrial and a big airport somewhere. Also add an inner city bus station in each chunk. For this map I would have left EVERYTHING else the same with one exception. I would have split both incoming highways to go around the back sides of each large chunk of city and put a junction off those highways into the back sides of each block and continued those highways as far as you could before tying back in. this would have split the loads on both highways and eased the traffic on the node in the middle where the highways crossed. It would have also given each large chunk of city a second route in and out to easy congestion there too. Just make sure you have some pedestrian bridges in areas near the metro as needed so they do not block traffic.

When you add your extra node on the highway, then do the lane connectors to move the lanes up or down one (8:24), the outside lane (red) can't turn off at the next junction.

@dlaz8 4 жыл бұрын

the cars can pick the middle lane instead of the left at the previous junction, cause it was 1+1 lane into 3 lanes

Dimitris Lazogas I see that now! Thanks for pointing it out! I’ve seen him do that before where one lane can’t get into another though. If that junction wasn’t there behind these boxes, there would need to be another way for them to change lanes
