    I think the gaps in the road are actually realistic. Bridges have expansion joints that allow the bridge to change size at different temperatures without breaking.

      Yes, also when I saw the light grey with the Dark on the road bridge. I'm like oh looks like my city. Where road repairs never match the road. Also several of my cities bridges. Have squares cut into them, so they can fix the bridge. Then it's filled in. So it looks normal to me.

    a huge benefit to raising the gradient of the train track would be the ability to implement pedestrian walkways underneath the railway, this would make the boardwalk less of a dead-end and more of a scenic walkway towards the beach from downtown. You could even add some vendors, benches and other features to that green strip between the railway and the boardwalk, to make the boardwalk look more alive.

      A lot of canals do have walkways along them. Depends on their original purpose, but if they were working canals, the boats or barges were pulled by horses.

    Here is the issue with that pedestrian bridge. On a bridge like that you cannot have a slope greater than 2% -OSHA standards, because the ADA LEGOS (handicap or most people for that matter) can not use it. That is why it looks odd. That bridge would create a great deal of faceplants. Also train tracks rarely go past 2% and will only do so if the distance is greater than 100 feet. Honestly that is why the slopes look condensed, aggressive and forced. I think if you change it, it would not look as odd. Awesome progress though.

    I liked them before, but this does look better. The road bridge looks amazing. Good call on the snot bricks for the pedestrian bridge and the wedges for the cars. Time to move on to something else and let the ideas cook for this area.
    I know that you like things symmetrical and that makes it tricky, but the more I look at this the more I think the rail line should be raised up a titch. Train tracks are themselves human added features and we're always changing the terrain to build the tracks. A little bit of landscaping will probably look good.

    You say that you dont like the idea of a natural hill leading up to the man made bridge but in reality, 100s of tons of soil and dirt are moved around all the time to make slopes like that. Especially for train lines and highways. Those highway ramps you drive on aren't on natural hills that perfectly grade the intercgange those are man made hills. So it wouldn't be weird at all to have the train start going up further back.

    Have you thought about elevating the land in the city section by a Brick or two so that the water is further below the city level? it would make bridges over the water easier to make. This might make for a more dynamic topography in the city and then your train transitions could be spread out over a larger portion of the city.

    [ 9:39 ] How about replacing the topmost 16x16 road plate, along with the two adjoining 8x16 plates, with two differently-angled 16x16 road plates, instead, thus giving the road profile a slightly more rounded look ( made up of 4 distinct planes, as opposed to the current 3-road planes trapezoid )? This might look a bit nicer, and would reduce the gaps on either side of the current topmost 16x16 road plate, as well.

  • @kylehayes1458
    @kylehayes1458 5 месяцев назад +7

    Hey there. I never comment on RUclips but have been watching these updates and thought I’d drop a line here. Very cool project and hope it goes great! So, I’m in construction and have a decent eye for design. I’ve heard you talk about the mountain and raising the elevation of a certain section of the city. I’m sure everyone drops their option on here and makes critiques, which may influence what you work on. I would ignore them if I were you. Best way to approach this massive project would be to understand all your different areas of this project better before you keep changing grades, width of bridges, etc. Get the mountain laid out, your other elevation changes, and see how that flows out to the adjacent areas. You may have to build walls at the canal to accommodate the grade that you’re going to raise. And you don’t know the width of the canal yet based on walkways on each side, which may affect the bridges you are working on now. I suggest looking at the Chicago river in the city and study how they did the great walkways on the river. Overall, I say focus on the big picture and not listen to people critiquing details of the bridge. I have a feeling it’s going to change again structurally and visual upgrades. Good luck dude!

    • @ToffaMore

    Starting the train slope around the corner would add some depth and break up that long stretch of straight track going down the full length of the table on the side. Also, depending on how tall you make it in the curve that could be a access point to the pier and the fishing beach in the corner if you had the figures walk under it.

    In a hilly area, sidewalks are sometimes on very different levels to the road. Often higher, with a token fence for example. So, unless you want it all level, I'd say don't sweat over it.

  • @currytigre
    @currytigre 5 месяцев назад

    Pull up Google maps and look at the Downtown area of Indianapolis, Illinois, USA. Zoom in towards Military Park and you'll see the canal system they have. Maybe you can get some inspiration from that. I would say close off the canal to boat traffic and make it implied that the water runs under the road, train, and pedestrian walkway via people made underground pipes/tunnels. That's how it is for the Indianapolis' canal. That way you can make the road and train tracks flat. Build some paddle boats for the canal instead. Or... raise up the city so the canal is deep enough to where boats can pass under a flat road. P.S. Please un-tile the train tracks :)

  • @lookslikerain75

    It looks much better. But could you quickly just change it a bit more by cutting a hole in the table and running the train underground? That would be lovely! Could the pedestrians on the boardwalk be catapulted over the water into a giant net? And the cars get on a small ferry? (And now i wait for the update to the update of the update video!) Is there anything he can't build?

Looking at the water, I love the depth you create with the different blue bricks and the translucent blue bricks you put over it. However the whitecaps you have created seam to take away from the layers of depth you have created. They almost read as clouds and not whitecaps of water. Love your city nonetheless.
