Born too late to explore the Earth Born too early to explore the stars Born just in time to watch Biffa fix virtual traffic

A college with enough parking? Very unrealistic! ;)

I really dig the passive-aggressive orange groves.

8:01 "We are making so much money". Game goes from making +40k to losing 25k in one second xD

Whenever Biffa says "auto-save, sip of tea", I've gotten into the habit of clicking LIKE.

“57% of viewers aren’t subscribed!” Hah! Good thing I’m subscribed... *checks* *silently clicks on subscribe* Oops...

Tip: Highways or roadways with noise barriers will cancel all noises from motor vehicles, especially if elevated section or interchange, Sir Biffa. Anyways, as an engineering student, I'll going to apply all the fixes into real-life city plans at the expense of the city funding (upon mayor's approval).

I just woke up and saw this pop up. Best way to start my saturday

25:01 that’s a nice parking lot, love it when the cims actually park their cars there!

Biffa: Troubleshooting City Skylines Also Biffa: Troubleshooting viewers

Buildings needing nearby services to upgrade, even though they are covered has always annoyed me. It basically means your almost always better off having two of the smaller police stations or fire houses in two separate locations, over having one big one.

I bought this game a couple of months ago after watching some of your highly amusing vids! I'm working on a pretty vanilla city and I will be sending it in for you to have a look and to work your beautification magic on it! I think you will be impressed with the roads and it is all down to you!!! I'm sure you will check them though as you can't resist! HAHA! Love your vids, you're a funny guy :D

Since I found your cities gameplay you have helped me with traffic manager a lot! And I have to say you do help me mentally. When I’m feeling down I turn on your videos and it helps me forget a little of what has been going on in my personal life. Thank you for everything!

Teaville troubleshooting before heading into work makes the day so much better.

I thought I was subscribed since I get all new videos in my recommendation section on KZfaq mere minutes after they get uploaded. Anyway, just subbed =)

Laughed out loud at the name of your farming area Biffa, add this to the list of reasons why I’m subbed to you ❤️

I also was not aware that the red buildings represented a lack of parking access, thanks for that

Biffa I love your content! I REALLY like these "Troubleshooting/Explanation" videos. Every time you point something out like "what do the red buildings mean?" I'm like, "OOOOOHHH... I had no idea! Thank you so much!" PLEASE keep making these types of videos.

Pretty sure when you get that “build sound” occasionally, it’s your auto bulldoze. So a building gets bulldozed and then you get those little smileys from your people from the deserted building going away.

I'm generally very bad at subscribing to channels. I use the search bar to find videos I want to watch and even if I watch a lot of videos from the same channel, I often forget to subscribe to not only find the channel easier but to help that channel itself grow. I play Cities: Skylines here and there and your videos have helped me manage my traffic even more! Here's a sub to you!

In addition to adding water in the center of roundabouts, you could zone them as park areas (if you have the Park life DLC), which will further increase land values. Once they are zoned as park area, you can also put in park entrance or side entrances where walkways meet up with sidewalks/roads to bring in some additional income, sort of like pedestrian tollbooths.

I bought C:S because of your city fix videos! Subscribing to your channel was a no-brainer when I noticed your care and attention to every video, and how relaxing your content is. Thanks for sharing your work with us! I also enjoy how you mostly play the game without major mods. Some other C:S youtubers lay down building by building and create some gigantic cities with thousands of custom structures and systems, which makes it difficult for me to connect with the gameplay. Making it simple and straightforward as you do is a godsend for players like me who are still learning the basics.

Absolutely the best explanation of in-game tools

Thank you for fixing the trees in the sports arenas! I've been quietly hoping you'd take care of it off-camera, as it seems like a silly criticism to waste your time addressing... but it looks much better now! I love the cities you make. Good luck on the 500,000 subs!

i realy thought i was subscribed, saw your video's that often. i actualy got the dam game because of you

Your content is practically the Paradox Wiki but better explained and with video examples. I always learn something. The parking aspect of traffic manager was great. Nice job as usual! (Liked and subscribed BTW)

You naming those 2 districts for subscribing and liking has actually convinced me to! subbed and liked

Hey Biffa , I stumbled upon your channel probably half a year ago while being sick at home and bored to death. Enjoyed it a lot. I still enjoy the City Skyline videos once in a while and always leave a like as I view it as a KZfaq currency and apply the same logic to every video I watch and enjoy. I'm subscribed to like 30-40 channels of which just 5-10 make daily/bi-daily videos. Probably the same amount makes weekly videos, but rest of them have occasionally new videos. The thing is - I value my time and subscribe to channels that have Added Value to them - technical news, self-growth, etc. This might be the case with other viewers as well. Since - having your videos in my subscription feed might make me feel bad when I'm not watching them and on the other hand - I always have your videos on the Recommended list and watch them whenever I have some spare time. So what was the point I was trying to get across - I appreciate the time you spend to make these videos (and other KZfaqrs I'm not subscribed as well) and I do it by pressing the Like button. But the idea of you or any other KZfaqr underlining it and making it sound obligatory to subscribe kinda kills the vibe. Still, all the best wishes.

1:37 that's just the perfect farm name

Proud to be a subscribed viewer that always leaves a like for a cup of tea

Love you videos, but almost never click like... *sheepishly going back to like a bunch of Biffa videos*

Best Skylines I’ve watched on KZfaq! No waffling, straight to the point. It’s a shame how the camera doesn’t focus in on all the small detail to know what you’re referring to. Deffo going to get this ✌️

17:20 Not Enough Workers - there's a big passenger station right there! oh, there's no good way to walk to the industrial area from the station? Biffa, add pedestrian/bicycle connections at the ends of all those dead end streets! and maybe a raised walkway to the big station?

I did some of this before watching last night where around 10 minutes in you where talking about adding services to an area that didn't have any of them such as schools, health, fire, and police. It was definitely a gratifying thing listening to all those pings as a mass upgrade and boom of growth happened.

Been subbed for years, and I "like" every video I see. Hope you hit the 1/2 million mark soon! :)

With that small industry area you made (around the 15:30 mark), there's no real way for the businesses to go straight to the cargo terminal, which would force trucks to leave the little area, then turn around elsewhere (like on the roundabout in the Park District) and come back (and create traffic). It's the same sort of principle for giving people highway access or access to other parts/sections of the city: you want to give vehicles quick/easy access to certain points around your city so they use the roads as little as possible. That is of course if you never use the bit of road going over the river for anything else. What I usually try to do with regular, unzoned industry is either zone the buildings along the cargosnake to the terminal (so the building can spawn the truck and have it go straight to the terminal), or have a quick and easy way for the trucks to drive to the terminal while being on roads as little as possible.

I love watching your vids so much I don't like playing the actual game any more, like, at all.

Hey Biffa, quick tip I learned with industrial traffic: if you have industry on either side of a small width road, they'll usually stop at their destination and block the trucks behind them. The way you fix this, is use the dense four lane road (like you did in the farm area), but TURN OFF the lane arrows on the outer lanes at either end. They will be forced to use the inner two lanes if they want to leave, which puts all of the traffic in those two lanes, allowing the trucks to move to an outer lane to stop at their destination, so they don't block the through traffic. As you know, it's rare that you actually need tons of lanes, so you should be safe to force them into two lanes, since no (or at least far fewer) trucks will stop the flow of traffic.

Thumbs up if your a proud member of the 43% and always like the video🤪

I'm subbed and have the bell for all notifications. I've been trying to play cities skylines on and off for years. Biffa, you're the guy who taught me how to fix frustrations and how to play the game basically. Can't get enough of your vids and this game.

26:30 There is a good parking garage mod I use! It has 3 different sizes and they work pretty well. :) Here's the author's page. There's a small, medium, and large garage. I think they look good in an urban area. Look on pages 7, 8, and 9. That's where the garages are. steamcommunity.com/id/GCVos/myworkshopfiles?appid=255710

Poured myself another cup of tea and subbed up. I wasn't aware that red buildings meant not enuff parking either. Like your Cities vids Biff, keep up the good work.

I'm happy to say when I saw what you named the orange grove, I looked to see if I am subscribed since I do watch your videos, and I already was :)

11:18 Biffa talking about his citizen's happiness channeling his inner Bob Ross' " happy little trees" voice

Afternoon my British fellow.

I know i am 4 years late lol, you are my favorite cities skylines youtube. Your cities skylines content has inspired my builds. 9:07 9:10 9:12

Thank you for this - the parking info is amazing!

Sorry Biffa. Didn't realized I wasn't subscribed. Your videos show up in my recommended list all the time and I enjoy them. Thanks for the content, the tips, and the occasional inspiration. Consider me a part of the subscribers pack now.

4:42 Biffa it's the Future of parking in TeaVille

Really enjoyed this. I love the traffic videos but these videos that go over the mechanicals of a properly operating city are great. I appreciate that a well made city like yours still showed faults that you were able to address in the video. Cheers

The noise at 13:35 comes from your industrial areas or parks when they reach the next level.

@Biffa, with that orange orchand, you got me as soon as I've seen it. While I'm following your channel for a year now, you made me finally subscribe.

Always have a cup of tea ready, eh?

The most interesting part for me was watching his city population DECREASE between each cut 😂 Great video, Biffa!

Love your work Biffa!!!

I don't understand how some people just can't be arsed to leave a like?? It takes but a second and helps significantly.

hope you're having a good one Biffa :)

I wonder by adding car parks ppl will find it easier to drive rather then use public transport. Really helpful vid biffa!!!

2:20 TMPE has this option for lane wise speed limits. If you set your inner lanes to a faster speed, wouldn't the trucks that are passing use the inner lane and those entering the farm/industry use the outer lanes?

You know what is more nuts than 57% of viewers not subscribed. I am subscribed and have never played this game, I just find the video entertaining and in a weird way relaxing.

Too bad there is t a mod that gives all the taller buildings an underground car park

Biffa, still love your videos. When I was talking about the one way train tracks in your last video I meant only going out of your station. That will keep things from being imported. Conversely you can do the opposite too and have only trains coming in. They magically appear / disappear. Its kind of fun actually.

When I searched for "Parking Lot" in the workshop, there are hundreds of things and none of those at the top is the mod you used. Do you have a link to it? Thanks.

Very interesting, and helpful as always! I use Biffa's suggestions and it all really works. When I have bad traffic I follow all Biffa's suggestions and it works! Thanks Biffa!

sees someone not like the video and sub “racks shotgun” are you sure about that

Recently got my 85k city to 85/90% traffic, which is awesome, and your advice really helped. I also drained a section of lake and diverted a river to make more dry land so the city fits in just 6 dense squares and my citizens enjoy the view of a gigantic dam separating them from certain doom.

/me unsubscribes so I can subscribe again. 'Does that count?'

I subscribed, but don't always log in when I'm watching. It cracked me up that you're naming entire subdivisions after such things!

I wish they made a fantasy version of this game (like replacing electricity with magic, and giving it an overall stereotypical fantasy theme overall.)

Biffa, how about maybe doing a 'fix your city' for people whose cities aren't growing, just like the traffic series. I think that might be as entertaining as educational

my commercial zones were constantly complaining about lack of goods to sell but i had zero demand for industry. couldn’t figure it out until i added a cargo depot harbor thing and had trains running cargo into the city. they all hit went from lvl 1 and anger to lvl 3 and so happy.

You have great playlists. It's easy to forget likes on a playlist. Without assuming people are watching in a playlist you can say *"before you watch the next video, make sure you like this one (so KZfaq shows it to more people)."*

lucky for you biffa, i do enjoy the videos and now that i’ve got my game back up and running after some tech issues, my interest is back :)

I cant frcn believe that someone who make 100% of videos content by him self, edit videos super good, upload regularly, have problems reaching 1m subscribers.. yet someone doin damn reaction videos get there in no time.. biffa, my friend, i feel your pain.. n i hope you get respect and money worth for your effort..

something to keep in mind with your yt numbers there, people on mobile may be less inclined to be signed into their account while viewing your video. while not signed in to a yt account a viewer would not show up as a subscriber nor can they like the video, you need to be signed in to do that. i don’t normally watch yt on mobile but i let my young daughter use it to watch kids vids but its never signed in. also, we have a “smart tv” (way tooo smart if you ask me) but i do occasionally watch your vids through the tv and i do not sign into my account when i do that. i just prefer to not be tracked on every single platform i use. keep up the good work and thanks for the entertainment!

I subbed a while ago. Hell, I bought the game because of you. I don't always like the videos mainly because of some of the city fixes are redundant. I do enjoy your building of Teaville, this has been a really good series so far, even with all the trolling of the round-a-bounds.

Hey Biffa. What a great informative video! I'm currently working up the Kerrisdale Bay map that you did a while back. Need to give my industry a shake up!

13:34 - I believe that’s the noise that notifies you when either a park, industry area or campus has gain an extra star/level

one of your best videos in a while - Great vid. prefer these kid of tuition vids rather than endless fix my traffic vids

I believe that random noise like something is being placed that you questioned is industrial areas upgrading to the next star rating. At least that's what I've taken it to mean aha. Great video as always. So interesting and helpful. Keep up the great work!

I don't play the game, but watching your videos is having an influence on me. Will buy the game soon. Your videos are helpful a lot and lovely to watch, clear voice and easy to understand the content. Thanks

FWIW, I tend to take my lane mathematics all the way to set up my lanes on highway interchanges the same way you do on your arterial main roads and I find that flows best. For example, with a 4-way interchange, I'll have 3-lane highway going in and out, with one lane for each direction (left, right, straight). So yeah, my through traffic ends up down to one lane. You could widen to a 6-lane leading up to the interchange so you can have 2 lanes each direction, but I've found it isn't necessary. In practice, it tends to be a net loss in throughput because of the merge points when you bring it back down to 3 lanes leaving the junction. For a 3-way interchange, whichever direction has more traffic gets the 2-lane and the remaining lane goes to the remaining direction.

really don't know how I ended up on your video but it just makes me so calm and I just enjoy watching them

I hate watching people play games. But for some reason KZfaq has had me watching you for a couple months now. Subscribed. I’ve never even played this game

I don’t normally like videos, but I’m making an exception for Biffa because his content is great. I love his enthusiasm for helping the community learn to be better Mayors. May the gods provide only the finest teas to you, good sir.

Wife now subscribed as well. We both love all of your contents, Mr. Biffa.

The like and subscribe issue, for me, is mostly due to watching in full screen and there is no easy way to like a video while watching it on anything but a phone.I am subscribed tho lol

17:20 a tiny walking path from the industry area to Valley Hills would help here i think.. its basically a stone throw away.. but without that they have to use cars to get to work. Could also make a bridge over the railways and connect a path between industry and Park District.

Love these vids Biffa! There's something super satisfying watching them. I even bought the game because of them! I need to get better at it though lol. I keep restarting my city as it's a hot mess.

Absolutely loving this series so far! Love the titles of your videos, very descriptive and helpful. Love how you focus on one area but not on one thing and you fix things as they come up! Looking forward to seeing that nature reserve on Earl Grey Isle!

Dude, I started playing a bit of CS a bit lately and found a few of your videos. That 57% stat in the middle of the video made me laugh. You know what? I'll sub just for that.

Hey Biff, A lot of people don't interact with KZfaq or other social media in the way they're intended. If someone watches your vids (like me, I love em. Like and subbed

On a serious note, I'd really like to know more from you about how to zone properly. I can never figure out the right... saturation, of residential, commercial, industry. When you said Offices can block noise pollution... it blew my mind.

I'm a subscriber. I admit that I watched for about a year before I subscribed because I didn't realize I hadn't subbed yet. But I've been subbed for a while now. As for the likes, I reserve my likes for exceptional videos with higher than average production value, or for when remarkable things happen in the video like you hitting 100% traffic flow. I feel as though if I like every video then it no longer means anything.

Hi and thank you. I played this game then it was released, back then I was drunk and it didin't worked out, I got so mad and quit. Today it's 1 month I'm watching your videos I like how you explain, now I learned in your videos what should I do, people creating stuff that's intriguing to play again, Thank you once more you doing great job. Sip of tea and let's start building! You got a subscriber!

2:20 - "Most of the time the trucks are clever enough not to get stuck behind other ones." -- I use the four or six lane roads with bus lanes. That keeps the trucks out of the outside lanes until the node just before they get to their destination. And the four lane road has a median, so it stops them from turning around in the middle of the block. It works pretty well for me on console.

That "Plunk" sound is the game automatically replopping something, at least sometimes. First time I noticed it was with a tsunami that annihilated an oil industry island.... the (onshore portion of the ) offshore rigs as well as the cargo hub replopped to be above the wave, which of course caused "minor issues" once the water receded and the actual roads and tracks became relevant again..... It´s generally a good Idea to take a quick look at your ploppable buildings for inconsistencies when you hear it. At least on Maps where you've noticed significant water level swellls like on "dustbowl", or if you have disasters activated . It´s usually harmless, but every so often a floating cafe becomes a flying one, haha

I’m a subscriber. I’ve been watching you fixing cities and cities for over a year by now :)

Two things I would like to see added: multi-level parking lots and crossing metro lines station where the metros don't interfere with each others.

I'm still a novice in this game my cities and roads are a right mess! Loving your videos though they're really helpful :)
