  • Mini Motorways is a highway engineering puzzle game and in this video I, a highway designer of 10 years, see if my real life engineering skills help me become better at the Mini Motorways puzzle game by using a modded version where I have infinite motorways!

    1: Matt makes a cyberpunk city.
    2: I wonder what his employers think of his eccentric engineering.
    3: If you're going to cheat, see if you can make the MOST EFFICIENT motorways map you can. Traffic lights, motorways, and proper roads that don't get people stuck in lines like this episode. I think it would be cool looking, a mini city working like clockwork.

      @@3snoW_ I think we all Walter that a little. You notice how blocked up cars get just motorwaying their way along, because everyone wants to turn off the turnpike but has to wait for other cars to get off first. It's a traffic jam. But if he uses real world engineering and flow principals, I think he could make a pretty interesting and delicate system that operates nominally.

      @DuckInGameStop 2 года назад +4

      If you strategically place roads to prevent more locations from popping up while still leaving enough space for extra houses, and also connect your existing locations efficiently, with a bit of luck (meaning convenient spawning locations and good rewards each week) you can put your city into an almost infinite loop and your score will keep climbing into the thousands before the demand finally gets too high for your system to keep up. I once got a loop accidentally and reached 4 or 5 thousand (if I remember correctly) but more skilled players can apparently get way more with this method.

    • @j.p.1492
      @j.p.1492 2 года назад +22

      You start with one house and one store, so you'd need to supply that store. Cars will go extremely slow however since the whole road is a junction if you fill the map. And once the store updates, that one house will not be sufficient to supply it. (Also you have to keep up with the expanding map at all times lol).

    Since houses can't spawn on roads. You can pretty much cheese your way into making houses spawn in a particular area.
    A way to segregate even better everything. The ultimate segregation.
    If you don't want a house there. Build a parking !

    I suspect the math of average-intersections-per-trip shows a minimum involving some small amount of motorway sharing. Or more complex landing areas, shaped like a tree, on the way into each shop, to keep the number of intersections each car has to go through to a minimum. Like, if a car has one intersection to get onto a motorway, and one to get from the motorway into the store, that's better than most cars having three intersections to go through on the way into the store even if there are zero intersections to get onto their own private motorway.
    But also, every 25 motorways or so, delete all of the largest ones and re-build to make traffic as local as possible. Maybe that'd clear 5k points?

    3:28 - I personally have a working theory that more likely someone is to make a '69' joke, the less likely they are to have ever engaged in one in real life! 😂

    Random idea popped in my head: what if *Mini Motorway Matt* played Mini Motorways and he put his entire narration voice pitched high? XD

    Try a similar challenge where each shop has its own motorway and any connecting house has to join the motorway from the other end.

    I’m in a predicament where I can’t watch games RCE play games that I also play (mini motor, cities skylines, etc) because he finds a way to backwards, upside down, inside out, engineer the game in a way no one could think of. Meanwhile I’m sitting here with me eyes twitching, reaching for my inhaler.

    with unlimited items, it has to be a ring road of motorways connected by roundabouts and everything has to go out to come in :)

    Pretty fitting that this was played on the Los Angeles map.
