After all these years of watching Biffa, I swear I will one day start playing this game.. 😅

[Julius]

16:55 - It's a one way road, that's why you couldn't left click to allow turning lanes. You still didn't fully resolve the issue.

[JMWZ_E]

11:46 You are basically doing what you did before: you are merging all 6 station tracks into one track and do not keep one train length distance.
1:26 At the Glassbox Station you merged three platform tracks into one track for one direction and three into a track for the other direction.

A better solution would be to dedicate some tracks (2 at the Glassbox, 3 at the new station) for intercity trains and the rest for your regional train network - and they work as dedicated platforms if intercity and regional tracks are fully separate and only connect to the right platforms.

14:50 If you are branching of tracks the busiest of those branches should be created as flyovers or flying junctions. I'd really love to see you sophisticated knowledge of highway junctions transferred to your rail junctions. I'm not quite sure whether you are joining the regional tracks here - if you do, maybe don't join at all but run separate intercity tracks parallel to the existing tracks. Network Multitool can build parallel networks to already existing ones.

15:24 Here you are removing the redundant metro station and 30:54 shows that the Airport has a second platform. If you bring back the deleted station but rotate it by 90° you could easily connect those two and extend that tunnel into a (semi-) circle line with transfer options to most other lines. And some of these transfers might be more convenient than going via Tearantula. Before becoming an independent line (the city needs to be massively extended to create the demand) you could use it as an extension of now less attractive Dean Sq line ...

33:47 Sugar Cube line is currently sharing tracks with that yellow line via Laurel Park to get into the Glassbox station. It could instead have separate tracks if you connect it Maple Line's underground terminus (seen 29:04 ) which still has an unused platform.

[Stant]

This is why I still use Metro Overhaul Mod. The ability to rotate the underground subway platforms around to the direction I need despite road direction, and even curve them and change their depth, still makes it extremely useful to have.

[NelielSugiura]

All those little side branches would be too small to hold a train given they are quite long. :(
Your loop into the university is a one-way, two-lane road so the extra turn arrows on the left side where it exits would be confusing and lead a driver into the wrong side of that loop!!

Your Tearantula station, and all the other metro lines and stations you had in before buying all tiles with 81 tiles mod, were broken due to the sunken line issue (if you look at your lines from an angle, instead of top-down, you will see they are all still broken) and I have every confidence it is also why the name resets. In order to fix the issue with the lines having zero riders, you need to rebuild stations and tracks that were placed before the unlocking of all tiles.
I get that the mod is the only way to use the whole map, but I do not think it is something to be used anymore thanks to the huge issue. I had to redo the metro stations and lines in my city three times because of that mod. If you are able to contact the mod creator, as you seem to have the connections, it would help to get it fixed... or maybe ask McSergei that wrote Network Multitool to make a better one? :(

Additional: The passenger counts you are seeing now are only going to be the new stations and fixed tracks, I feel, and you will retain a lot of the zero-passenger stops until everything is remade, unfortunately.

You mention you have reset the station... that does not actually work. You have to rebuild it, which I think you figured out when the people suddenly flooded in. :)

[adrianfung]

For the Tea > Dean Sq line, you can extend it towards the Green Tea Fields Farm, to boast it passenger usage, and also provide a way for workers to go to work there.

So... I found this amazing channel a couple of weeks ago. Have been marathon-ing through various playlists and am finally up to date with day to day releases! Keep up the awesome content Biffa!

[adityachandrayan]

We can call the new station as ”Bentealey" as its track shape is similar to that of the car brand Bentely.

[HugoLoidon]

Maybe you could add some crossings one the different roads outside the tearantula station so people can come directly from the park ☺️

[lesleyvids]

Some suggestions: -Line 9 is now redundant, as there is a noew line on the same tracks.
- several lines ending in the Tearantula could be connected onwards/merged with another line on the same pair of tracks
- on the glass cube station, one line coming in from the Tearantula could be connected to the underground tunnel and merged with the line there creating a loop, the other one can be merged with the line leaving the glass cube in the other direction
- the new trainstation needs a metro connection, you can stop glass box from getting intercity trains, they will then reroute to the new station

[Zoe_C]

Messing with the public transport is one of my favourite things to do in the game, and seeing Tearantula station come to life at the end was so satisfying. Was great seeing people cut through the beautiful park to get to the station too!

[MiguelMateo]

Biffa, amazing fix! BTW, a couple of tiny suggestions:

(1) At minute 26, you can add a small path to connect the new metro station to the city in the back
(2) At minute 44, there is a blue line in that metro station that runs just two stations, which is no longer needed since you now extended the yellow line to those two stations as well.

[LGJ]

Loving the daily uploads, you keep me company on the treadmill in the gym.

How about "Fan-tea-sea Station"?

[Mitchk]

The new station looks like a Manta Ray, with the fins spreading out each side. So maybe it could be called ManTEAray Station. Plus it's by the water's edge!

[xthexenoxx]

Love to see the Tearantula so busy. Great episode :)

[danjoy]

Damn, Biffa you’re killing it with these daily uploads! Great work.

[kleckerklotz]

One guess about the issue with the Tearantula Station: It was probably moved with the help of the Move It mod, which might have broken the street connections because of slight height differences. Just a guess...

Also another thing about your metro lines: In reality metro lines are pretty long from one end of a city to another end. Or they go in a big loop. Some of your lines just go a few stations and from there starts a new short line. Those could easily be one long line, instead of two short ones. Also I think your metro line no. 9 services the same plattform as your new "Tea > Glass Box" line. Since you have extended the latter.

And another thing I noticed: At 16:55 you added turn-in lanes to a one way road. None of your lovely New Tealanders will ever use these.

Anyhow, very nice changes. Much love, Biffa. I always enjoy your builts.

[mfauzanp]

At 16:54 you try to change lane manual in TM:PE, the exit road from university was made one way. That's why you cant change it using CTRL+L Click

[henrikr.]

I thought the new station looked like a bird with its wings spread out from above. One cool bird species endemic to New Zealand are the tui (yes, thats both the singular and plural), so how about naming it the "Tuea train station" :)

[GriffosChannel]

Never stop this daily upload routine. My serotonin has never been so high! :')
