I always perfered the lite version of this challenge where you can put in roundabouts every once in awhile as just a random bulge on the road. That way people can turn around without having to go down the entire road.
Yes this. I wanna see optimised. Maybe do a long straight road grid thing with round abouts on certain turns. Subways. Paths. Then maybe break quadrants with larger lanes
@@Superboy-jx3zv pedestrian paths would have limited functionality without junctions allowing road crossings. unless you used bridges, but matt didnt seem to even want to cross the road over itself.
In Germany we still have incredible small villages, some arent even on maps because they are wo small, they dont count as one 😂 one of my friends lives in a village with his family and only 5 other people, and they finally got a official village sign, before they only had a selfmade wood sign
Remember Matt, for a 1 road challenge you totally need to double/triple/etc etc up on the Healthcare, Deathcare, Police, Fire Response, and Education as the road gets longer. It really really helps to keep things close for everyone. You need more "The Line" type thinking, everyone should be with in a reasonable range to all amenities, never 500k km away... lol
Impressive to see an engineer start laying down road without even looking up what patterns can be used to maximize coverage of an area with a single line. Truly, the work of an architect.
I know, and he started another game which looks really interesting but he only gave us the first episode and the others are patreon exclusive. All the good series are patreon exclusive. 😢
I wouldn’t say expensive but as someone who isn’t willing to pay that much to watch someone play a game properly, I understand . We might as well do a 1 time purchase of Cities skylines 2 instead of patreon
It would be interesting to see the worst traffic you can engineer. Like two massive cities, one purely residential one purely commercial, only connected by a single two way dirt road.
Love it! Just one thing, your brightnes is so high that, when you are in build mode, we can‘t see any zone areas until you colored them in or build something on top of it
Just a thought. If you don't have to build the circular road roundabouts anymore, would placing the roundabout islands on the road count as adding a junction? I would argue that it is still a continuous road, but with obstacles!
Right on the release as well! My game is downloading and this is a perfect way to pass the time, thinking about all the cool stuff I will soon be able to build
The closer the roads are together, the less space you have for building. So some of the essential buildings that are larger wouldn't fit, and the noise complaints would skyrocket by people living so close to each other.
Matt: "This is like a proper actual city!" Me (looking at all the parallel parking): "...with an entire lane of traffic in each direction set to a speed limit of 0." Parallel parking is the single biggest urban mistake since the invention of the automobile. And yes, the automobile was an urban mistake too.
Oh oh oh... an idea to ace this challenge... I know it's silly but Round Abouts... it keeps it a single road BUT allows people to turn around without having to go stupid far. Also since there is only one road going into and out of the round abouts they technically wouldn't be a junction so much as a legal turn around along a singular road. It would also greatly help with Public Transportation to allow for multiple smaller circuit routes.
You should pick random spots and just put in some roundabouts so people can turn around more. It wasn't as easy in the first game, but its a totally legit strategy for this challenge. You're not putting an intersection, just a little nob.
I just imagine RCE going bye guys as he's walking away from the mic and leaving the game to play afk and coming back to find out what ruins the town first
Matt, i'm glad that you making Cities Skylines, Timberborn and Doom videos, a see all of them Thank you so much for all your content, it's very interesting
Every city skylines video is as far as I've ever gotten in a game. I'd love to see you actually maintaining and expanding what you do in all of your initial vids
I know it would be bad for this challenge... but at some point you MUST dump poo onto the land at some point, let it flow for a while then delete the poo dump. Now wait a while as it "evaporates" like water... you HAVE to see the insane detail they put into dried up poo slicks... disgusting but absolutely hilarious to see poo splattered all over the ground that looks like a giant poo smear on the wall of some crappy club... ... seriously the dried up smear detail is stupidly funny!!! We NEED a "Poocano 2.0" and some... uhmmm let's say accidents... trust me Matt you will die laughing!
Nobody: Real Civil Engineer: So - crematorium, should be able to squeeze one of these in... I'll tell you what I'll put it right next to the medical center that'l be useful. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
So, quick thing. The green that appears when you place down a service building, like a fire house or police station, is for property value calculations, not coverage of the city. Tho, with 1 road, multiple make sense.
Tbh, you would probably get more subs if you don’t make city skylines series patreon only. I’m not saying you have to get rid of it, or that I don’t wanna get the patreon, but just that you might make more merch and some games, but no too big series on them
I would love to see your best optimised system of this. With sub ways and footpaths and maybe even the river to cheat the snake road. Also what would be best. I.e this crazy version or lines of lanes perfectly apart with 15 minute city's poking up out the sprawl like contors on a map
you would make it so that the only way to watch more realistic content of this game, that you, as a civil engineer, would be good at, to be put behind a paywall huh
Could’ve allowed Roundabouts to make it easily accessible for everyone other than just going all the way to the end of road which gradually get longer and longer 😅
Now the opposite: roundabouts only. Every building has to have its own road, connected via roundabout to the main road. Not sure if it'd be traffic hell or not...
Cities Skylines 2 feels like the fnaf 2 of the city building games: A large improvement of a passion project, set up for success. Edit: Just played the game, it’s a buggy mess…

I finally just got a computer that can run CS1 so I’m kinda late to the party, but I remember back in the day making my own one-road cities in SimCity 2013. Works surprisingly well!
For a second there I thought you weren't even going to touch the budget panel. 😂 To be fair Engineers don't work with budgets, that's someone elses job.
I have a great idea. Look at cities on google maps and critique how the roads are built. Start with Montreal because if this video taught me anything it’s that whoever designed our roads had no sense logic whatsoever
Day sixty eight of asking Matt to add the Second Narrows Bridge, Ironworkers Memorial to the Wheel of Bridgetune It is a cantilevered truss bridge, carrying 6 lanes of traffic from Vancouver to North Vancouver in B.C. across the second narrowing of the Burrard Inlet.

Only difference is the Ikea floorplan is one way only... That's an idea!

Thats far too merciful!
I mean pedestrian paths technicly aren't roads tho
I was just about to put in the same suggestion. It satisfies the condition of there being only one road while being ever so engineering efficient.
Yes this. I wanna see optimised. Maybe do a long straight road grid thing with round abouts on certain turns. Subways. Paths. Then maybe break quadrants with larger lanes

I wonder how long it’s going to take before he realizes he can build bridges above the existing road.
😊
Ah yes, the very efficient Single Road City! Clearly, the best analogue is the human body! One way in, one way out; what goes in must come out!
So disapointed the realistic series is only on patreon. It's way too expensive.

Bit dramatic, yeah? Pretty standard, by the looks of it. Support your favorite creators.

Architects:but it's impossible!
Engineers: everything is possible with engineering
It gives me so much anxiety seeing Matt drop his road wherever he pleases. If you only get one road, wouldn't you wind it as tight as possible? 😅
yeah it killed me how he was like 'ah we properly used up that area' but he covered land that could be developed
like tiles that could be painted in
