Building Private Motorways for Rich Houses in Mini Motorways
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 июл 2021
- Mini Motorways Part 4 - some houses are more special than others. Sometimes a play that looks horribly inefficient is actually the right thing to do. That one house makes all the difference when added to the grid.

Cool
Make it harder
I see three private videos in that playlist 👀
More motorways content pog
Will snkrx be returning or is it done/going on the archive channel?
“If I had more motorways this would be done”
You just described this entire game
Fittingly named
Should’ve been called Many Motorways
@@whee2390 mini motorway because you have a mini(small) amount of motorways
Ayyyyy death
@@Qreator06 it should be called ME NEED MOTORWAYS
Tyler: "I wish there was a class system so that one car has to yield to an other."
Me: *looks at traffic lights*
Ironically, traffic lights are actually bad in this game. Or at the very least, unnecessary in practically most cases.
@@Kingnaruto16fan Unironically, in a quick fix when you need a Roundabout but don't have the space, Traffic Lights would be good. Also, it would cause one car to have to yield to the other.
Each thing in the game has a purpose, it's just how you use them.
@@Kingnaruto16fan Traffic lights carry early game hard. As it gets more congested traffic lights absolutely suck but round-abouts are really good.
I would know, I played all the maps.
@@Kingnaruto16fan idk man, it sounds like you just don’t know how to use traffic lights. that’s ok, but you really can’t say they are bad
@@garrettfuller5456 I mean from what I’ve seen most players agree that traffic lights are fairly useless later game and fairly often harmful
This is the only game where you can say segregation is key without getting bombarded from every corner of everywhere
Obviously you have not seen his playthrough of The Witness
@@DecepsisOvermark I don’t remember exactly why that works for the witness (it’s been a while since I’ve watched him play it) but I’m just gonna assume that the witness makes you racist.
@@DecepsisOvermarkCame here to say that lol
Honestly, I am just majorly conflicted on it. It's obviously not an intended message by the devs, but if you tell it to the wrong people, it's just bound to cause drama.
And what does it mean for real life? Would it be a transferrable argument that seggregating everyone due to their main travel targets is "good practice" to avoid traffic?
@@Marenthyu in real life you do more things than going back and forward for the same place again and again, it means nothing to real life.
I just had one hell of a night out with the boys and came home to wish that all you guys in the comments have a wonderful night too. You too Tyler, you deserve a good night for all the great content.
Thank you, I hope your tomorrow will be just as fun
@@padre764 thanks mate
Homies who get wholesome when drunk are the realest
I really needed this
Thank you
We love happy drunk comments, stay awesome brotha
> It'd be nice to have a class system where the yellows always have to yield to the light blues
My man has graduated from segregation into apartheid.
Imagine having your house right next to a motorway, you’d never get to sleep with all that noise
Naw naw imagine a giant cursor watching over your every move as you go to Walmart
Unless the motorway is directly from your house to your workplace and has no intersections along the way, i.e. it'd be empty except when your family and guests are using it.
You described me except ,like everything, you get used to it.
My house is about 500m away from one and almost right next to train tracks and its really not that bad. You rlly get used to it.
imagine working in a building with a motorway passing directly over it
The ideal way to make roads in this game is to play like you're designing for the 1920's
I've been enjoying this game so much, the only issue I have with it is sometimes late game a new company spawns and you just don't notice it until it goes red.
I've realized I NEED to play this game with sound on, otherwise I'll miss things popping up.
Late game you gotta place roads to block new business from spawning. You will have plenty of extra roads to do so.
@@bftjoe I tried the road blocking strategy but unsuccessfully. It keeps businesses from spawning, but seems to increase demand of existing businesses faster and thus I lose faster than if I hadn't done it.
it would be nice is they flash when not connected to their respective colour houses
@@Muskar2 You still have to be able to play the game. I just saw a video where the guy only had 1 business but still lost because he doesn't know how to keep it afloat.
6:16 wrong, you don't want that. If you look at the houses, you'll notice that a lot of cars are not in use. The business is not having trouble due to lack of residents, it is having issues because of the time it takes for each resident to get there.
People really underestimate neighborhood traffic, I feel myself always rearranging each house so they have equal amount of entrances and so on. Hard to test if bottomline it actually helps though, since you can't make exact copies of scenarios. Never seen anyone get too involved in neighborhoods they just connect it wherever and be done with it.
I love these videos it suits this channel perfectly. That’s aliensrock. That’s quality.
That's Clint "Aliensrock" Stevens. That's quality.
@@Str4ng3 that's "tyler "the aliensrock" johnson" to you.
These games where you start off small and just continuously build until you lose are always my favorites
What type of games are they called so I can find them easier
@@tomatopoo5806 no clue but i love them lol
Similar to roguelikes, but this is a weird building subgenre
@@m4rcyonstation93 what if there was a building roguelike tho🤔
@@thatguyxander6574 I think this (+ tylers newest video) is the closest you can get rn
Imagine if cars could crash in this game
that would make traffic lights viable
@@x_x5009 imagine if cars could kiss in this game
@@genieinthepot2455 cars 4 streaming on all platforms and in movie theaters near you december 2021
A good general strategy for this game is to use the roads for general placement, and continue to improve the structure of the ground, forget the fluff words I just said, and play cities skylines instead because you can just destroy the houses you don’t want and then cry because you still can’t figure out how to manage traffic even with total control.
step 1: Download Traffic Manager PE and be rid of the base game's ass-tier AI
Step 2: cry with 10% traffic.
From, being rich, to „i‘am just gonna let them die“, you‘d be an great major
Roundabout has a 'plus' sign area it needs to be placed. It's very strategic to sometimes build road crosses in places where you think a highway may end later or roads will split to different businesses for example (worth to mention, don't try more than 2 shops per roundabout for late game, it can get messy)
"I still have that bad intersection man!"
**laughs in Traffic Lights**
this game is a political statement on the inefficieny of traffic lights
Thank you Ben for once again being 100% on point with the editing, and thank you Tyler for content I legitimately look forward to
I love watching your thinking process
I've found that planning ahead really means a great deal. Otherwise houses will spawn in every free cell and f*** you over big-time.
Also, I think distance to the workplaces matters when it comes to efficiency since the cars have to travel for longer to get there.
“It’s better to keep the colors separate” 😳
Segregation is key
-Aliensrock, circa 1920
I don't know man
Seems racist
it's fun to imagine what it'd be like if cars in real life had to use different roads depending on their paintjob
The roads for black, gray, and white cars would be so congested. Anyone with an orange car would have so much extra road. Also, what would happen to the ones that have a multicolored paint job?
I'm pretty exited to watch RCE play London if its in the game, he's pretty familiar with its road systems since he works in drainage.
The sfx and visuals are amazing
You can always try to place one road tile to block a possible bad location for the store.
You can determine how good business is doing by looking at the neighbourhood it is attached to. If all houses there have no cars inside, then you are not keeping up. Otherwise it will be fine... For now.
3:15 This is something I've been thinking of too
Maybe traffic lights changing to let you pick a direction that always gets priority over the others could be something?
OMG BRO you improved so much since the last vid. (I commented about using diagonals and vectors. And 1 min in, youre doing great.
Yeah, this map is kicking my ass, too. Which is weird, because it's basically a flat plain with one island you can pave over with roads until you're ready for it. (You'll need at least one motorway or bridge to get the houses that spawn on the peninsula as well, depending.)
Tyler : there's navys everywhere
Me : very poor choice of words
A technique i think you could benefit from is "controlling the spawn". Just place extra roads in places you wouldnt want houses or businesses to spawn, as well as next to entrances to businesses
I think it's also good to just assign a few houses to a shop. It's more seperating than a grid of the same color since it can't happen that there is a house who wants to go to a shop on the other side of the map
Every color is dying
Light blue: are you guys good over there
“It’s always good to keep colours separate”
holyy this game is satisfying
Tyler was trying to get so many navy's I thought he was he Village People
Hope we see the road blocking strat and separation strat in the next video this is insane! You could be in 10!
and i felt good for getting 2.5k on LA after 3 attempts :,(
If you have less hours then him or just play casually then no worries. He does this sort of thing for a job. He's bound to have an easier time with these things then you or I. Just keep trying and learning, you've already done a good job. Now it's just about trying to do a great job. I hope it helps :) P.s 2.5k is impressive in my eyes.
I felt good for breakink 2k. Meanwhile the top of the leaderboard is in the millions. I hate online leaderboards
@@thereisa6inthename don't worry about those scores. The scores that are that high are all hackers.
@@thereisa6inthename leaderboards suck :/
But that _is_ pretty good, I’ve yet to break 2k on any map
start off all mini motorways videos with "alright welcome back to whatever map this is"
I kind of wish the game design was changed in some way to make it best to have everything on the same network, so that it was just about the efficiency of your layout for everything. Maybe have it so all houses can help out all stores, and the colored ones are a bonus. You could also make every store also a house of a different color
The problem is that would likely take away some replayability of the game. Because then it would essentially just become a process of following what the person at the top of the leaderboard did. Maybe tweaking here and there too. Which doesn't require much brain power to do, compared to trying to multitask and manage all different networks. However I feel like you're onto something that could work. Feel free to keep thinking on it/experimenting and pls keep me updated. :) Best of luck.
Loving this game but hoping that Understand is going to return soon
i wait for one of these vids everyday
Gotta learn how to use traffic lights they’re very useful
Really?
They don't help once you already have a lot of stuff. They make it slower, which ends up leading to you losing.
@@MayorVideo they’re good for compact city’s like LA someone got 71k points and barely had roundabout cause they’re so bulky
You can make a short path to the roundabout and then attach a motorway to it.
Adds a motorway to a singular purple house, then precedes to build a road across the entire map for three blue houses. :|
also a tip, you can leave houses without a road and a business and they won't get mad.
F in chat for those 3 red houses near the bottom-middle that spawned at 8:08 and just flashed for the rest of the game
"keeping all the colors separate is the strat"
1:15 look at how many pins he has… LOL
I thought it was raining outside while watching this video lol.
They're driving on the wrong side for Tanzania!
I'm not sure why but recently I just have too many motorways. Sometimes I even have 3 motorways in the inventory that I don't even know where to put cause everything seems to run fairly good. Then I lose at around 3000.
cool
Now this is called glitch abuse in the correct way
Wait, what's the glitch?
@@sofiggy None. It's not a bug, it's a feature. When no glitches are involved it's just abuse.
@@sodiboo Correct. I was just wondering if Baro Oxide saw something I didn't.
This is literally mini metro w/ a twist in design
Be interesting to add four lane road upgrades but you only get +15 roads and 10 upgrades.
I always feel bad breaking the trees
Area man uses roundabout to avoid building a T-intersection
I think highway placement was causing congestion
Tyler is there any way you could just change your cursor in game so it's easy to follow you? I use yolomouse personally I'm not sure if it would work with this game
how does Tyler not know the power of traffic lights?
It would be better if they made it so you could alter the color or pattern for your own groupings.
Jabadabadu
Is it possible to put traffic lights at the end of motorways? Might help them depart better.
"Saves some roads" _has 47 roads_
Ben the editor appreciation day 22
I've never seen him use traffic lights I swear
Wait, did you rename the video?
More accurately, dedicated motorways for gated communities, which describes a good bit of California...
a fun challenge would be to get as muchpoints as you can without removing roads.
"It's better to keep the colors separate"
When u post Understand video?
Looking at the thumbnail… CApiTaLIsM?!?!
You do know that you don’t have to use all the houses? So the motorway connecting the 2 dark blues wasn’t very optimal.
he kept saying that during the game lol. But after a point you definitely do need to connect more houses. Because empty spaces leave room for buildings to spawn where you don't want them to. Besides, it probably helps with scores.
yeah that's one thing that annoyed me. optimal strategy is to save motor ways until you need them because building them the first time doesn't take any time but moving them takes a while.
@@2ndbrain909 I'm not sure. I've had plenty of 3k+ scores where I had 20+ houses not connected and they're not the colors that cause me to lose. In those cases I usually lost because motorways took too long to reposition or similar. It usually seems to be much more about distance from houses to destination, and thus luck. I've had a few playthroughs with a few houses spawning directly next to their skyscraper/circle and even just 4 houses connected in a tiny binary tree road network had no issues keeping up with demand at the point where I lost.
Funny joke posted before watching the video
0:25 segregation in a nut shell
Hello
Hell yeah?
for once, i understand why a city actually died at the end of a game
oh dear
How are you doing
Segregation is the perfect tool for building your neighbourhood wait no
You could make the mouse pointer larger on windows. It’s really hard to see with the default one.
why can't you sort of connect two motorways and make a sort of "exit"? you could choose to get off the motorway or continue onto the next motorway.
I imagine it's too slow to arrive at your destination
@@lomiification ah makes sense
use traffic lights were you cant fit roundabouts
"I love round abouts I just wish they weren't so fat." American cities that had skyscrapers before they were well known
more understand when
hi :)
Society: we all equal
Tyler: it'd be nice to have a class system
Also tyler: communist history in browser history (as seen in a bloons video where twitch plays before Tyler sneakily deletes all history)
I cant believe I'm so bored that I clicked on a good video and start yelling at my screen "USE THE ROUNDABOUT"!?!?!?!
You should check out Steve Mould’s video about the spring paradox. See if you can implement the idea in your road network
There's no roads with constant travel time in this game, even motorways won't count. Also it's the crossroads that make traffic so clumsy, not the roads' throughput
So rich
Car
Bus
Subway
train
LEBRON???
segregation and class systems poger
tactical segregation
what leaderboards are these?! I see much higher scores on my apple game version
Steam version
@@bftjoe And probably also very dated highscores. I'm guessing this was recorded a while ago.
@@Muskar2 it's 9 days dated if you were curious.
So leader boards are separated over each console?
Day 298 of telling Tyler that he never finished his minecraft series and that he should finish it.
Day 258 of agreeing, real late
What does finishing a Minecraft series mean? Posting a video saying you won't make any more?
Day 177 of A
every time someone plays this, it seems more uncomfortable racial implications pop up and I have to keep reminding myself nobody in real life is green or purple
It’s not often that someone could make this kind of joke with enough context to prevent cancelling, I guess. 😂
This game makes you a segregationist
