CHALLENGE FOR RCE: step one: puase the game. Step two: design an entire city in sandbox and see if it will survive when you press play. Step three:profit
See my other comment on this video. I think maybe he’s been struck violently in the head, and he experiences the world like the protagonist from Memento. That said, it does lend a certain childlike wonder and joy to his content. But it is remarkable. I don’t think it’s put on, I’ll say that much.
You know, Grids are fine building for cities, if you treat them as Roundabouts. Every street is a One Way Street, One street going on one direction, and the next moving in the opposite direction. So you'll only have left/right hand turns or straight, You never never need a traffic light. One feeder road that's two way, and the rest Oneway gridding is fine.
Yea this is my usual strategy for controlling traffic on smaller roads in Cities Skylines one. At the start of the game I can't make 4-6 lane roads, but as my population goes up the traffic gets terrible on the starter 2 lane roads, so making them one way does a lot to alleviate traffic issues.
While this makes sense in theory, I do want to point one issue out. If every road is one way and alternates direction, then every intersection will alternate from only straight/right to only straight/left turns. There would still be a need for traffic lights because traffic would enter from one direction at one intersection then from the opposite side at the next, so every type of turn is still encountered, just not all at the same time. Edit: Actually, with dedicated turn lanes that merge off each time, I suppose it could’ve avoided entirely since there’s never oncoming traffic, only entering traffic. Oversight on my own mental picturing of it.
i think a Hex Grid with one way streets only would be great. for each block the traffic direction around it alternates between clockwise, counter-clockwise and alternating. This would also remove essentially all intersection conflict points, since that is spread out over the Streets via lane changes. You could also view this idea as a gigantic grid of magic roundabouts :D
it can be annoying to get around, but that is how Detroit is actually set up in some places, some roads are 1 way, while being connected with a couple 2 way larger streets
Challenge! Most cities have the tall office buildings in the center and the industry on the outside try and make a functional city, but in reverse with all the industry in the center of the city and the office blocks spread around it with the urban area in between
@@jotoqi8728 so is he agreeing with because his comment makes it sound like he does not understand that the point of the challenge is to build a city with the industrial area in its center rather than at the edge.
The fact that those services covered such a large area seems to indicate that there’s an exploit here. Maybe the calculation “ignores” intersections as distance?
@@Hr07hgar87 Yup. I think the 2x2 grids do limit the building types that can be spawned, so even for high density building the area won't hold as much people as other cities.
Me: grids aren't bad, you always know where you're going. Rce: so we are making 4x4 grids Me: 😬 ok that sounds like hell. Rce: makes a 2x2 grid Me: he might be an architect with those quick maths
well, technically it is a 4 by 4 cell grid. the road is two cells wide, and the open/buildable space also is two cells wide, which gives the grid pattern an edge length of 4 cells.
You just made my hometown. People adore the road layout because, " you can't get lost", but it also takes 30 minutes to drive across a city of 200k people because you are sitting at traffic lights for 20 minutes.
Grids work wonderfully under two conditions: long streets in one direction to reduce the number of interruptions and encompassed in a square of access roads that then connect to the major roads with a few short access side roads. Those have been the best neighborhoods I have lived in. If the major roads then have their own major grid, with highways in another level of super-grid encompassing the city, it makes traffic pretty tolerable.
“The Grid. A digital frontier. I tried to picture clusters of information as they moved through the computer. What did they look like? Ships, motorcycles? Were the circuits like freeways? I kept dreaming of a world I thought I'd never see. And then, one day I got in...” - RCE, probably
Try building a city similar to the grid in center city philadelphia, which is all one-way roads on a tight grid with only a few 2 ways dispersed amongst them. If a block is blocked off for road work (a daily occurrence) you have to play what I call “south Philly pac man” and it takes an extra 15 min to go 2 blocks
I wonder if you could use the grid tool to place an initial grid, then again 2 squares appart until filled? If it works, gridding would take only about a fourth of the time.
I wish the auto gird tool allowed you to pick size because there are gameplay and density reasons that you want 2 or 3 square depth zones to prevent rents being too high and make it look more like a real city. Easy enough to add more alleys after using the grid tool or by using the grid tool again to make a box within the box but it would be nice if there was just an option.
I think a cool feature with the cemetery is if you build it, it should be empty and as your civs die it fills up instead if it being prefilled with tombstones
could you have done grids with alternating one way streets? not sure if it calculates traffic but that might help alleviate cars with alternating one ways
@@Darke_Exelbirth Yes; this is how lots and lots of cities in the US that were built between ~1840 and 1920 are built. They had larger roads than the older ones back east, for carriages and wagons, but not wide enough for two-way roads once we switched to cars. You will find entire sections of places like Denver, Albuquerque, cities in Illinois and Iowa and Kansas and the Dakotas, down through West Texas and Arizona that have series of one-way grids. Mostly they have been replaced where they aren't in residential or low-traffic areas, they cause a lot of accidents, but if you look carefully in a lot of those places you can also see how the original grids were built, and had to be expanded through tearing down adjacent buildings. But basically any city built after the steam engine caught on, but before the internal combustion auto was mass-produced, you'll find those grids in the US. Canada to a lesser degree. The problem is corners, and people forgetting which direction the next street is going. Houses and businesses have things that block view, people park too close to the corners, and wrecks happen all the time. When people were only going 10mph drawn by horses, that wasn't an issue. Even when people were only going 15-25 in early cars, not much of an issue.
@@jc_art_ Well realistically speaking, on a grid this tight together you'd probably be better off having a lot of one way streets. Say north to south all 2 way, but east to west all 1 way, alternating from all 1 way east then the next all 1 way west, etc.... In that kind of grid you could probably make the 1-ways be continuous, no stops, and have stops only on the 2 way streets that intersect. Would make getting far across the city much quicker.
Tbf, i was born and raised in a gridlocked city, 100mx100m blocks 1-way 10m wide roads. I live in Ireland for 4 years and my god this is pure hell. Back home you could ask where is something, aw yeah, just go 3 blocks down turn left and 5 blocks until youre there. Here is purely google maps, cant even understand directions if they put me houses, roads or cattle as point of reference😅
I'd say road maintenance isn't expensive because roads are barely being used, and each time you make the city bigger you just add more roads so it's never clogged and cars barely touch them. I'd assume that's how it works in the game at least
"The map is too flat for wind" Actually that's ideal for wind farm. Just like with any other fluid, obstruction like mountain slows down the speed of air.
Eastern VA here, can also confirm, especially along the oceanfront. There's a reason the state wants to build a massive wind farm about 15 miles off the coast.
I think it would be cool to recreate real cities or towns in this and see how they perform. Could do series making various settlements on the same world eventually building towards a country
Now all you need is a long traffic light at each crossroads that alternates on every adjacent intersection so no matter what, you need to stop every 20 feet
@@darthgonk4398 Funny thing about that requirement, because (unless it's different in CS2) you don't need a road connected to any actual other roads for "road access". You can literally just build a tiny stretch of road next to whatever the thing is that needs road access and it works.
Can you make a part of Engitopia the “Engineering” way. (e.g. most traffic efficient, intersections, zoning etc.) ? Would be very interesting. Entertaining and learning in one 👍👍
To be fair, as an American... I hate the Mega Grid. You take a nice bit of land with lovely trees... (I love hiking in the woods) and turn it in to a hideous concrete jungle. I'd prefer any road layout, assuming low density housing with lots of room in between for unzoned natural land with lots of trees! Waiting behind a red light is annoying so I imagine roundabouts help a lot with traffic flow. Just give me a nice huge area to go hiking in on the outskirts of a town, and wham... I'd like it! Love your City Skylines videos!
The grid must grow! Continue tell it takes over the whole region. I think we'd all agree the bigger buildings are okay within the grid so long as the grid continues smoothlyish around it. 😂 the grid starves for more!!
If you have a savefile and you ever do a "viewers ideas" I would love to see if this city will become more bearable if you swap some roads for narrower ones, like one way roads and foot paths. Lets say next to a two way you make a one way in one direction, then a foot path, then a one way in the other direction, and then a normal two way again The footpaths might actually also increase the size of the plots to 3x3 since they are narrower but I don't know for sure.
We need some game that allows us to finally build in 3D. Imagine a hive city, with like 100 levels that you can put like that, on top of each other or on top of some half mile tall meta building!
The reason road cost is so low is because there are so many roads to drive down they are getting worn down as quickly so they don't need as much repair.
You should do some belgian city, ribbon housing (lint bebouwing). Everyone just lives along a street and only shopping malls are in big cities without too much housing
You know, you should combine grid city with roundabout city. If I am correct, if you'd go for 3x3grid instead of 2x2 and then change every single junction to smallest roundaboud, then all corner tiles will disapere to remaining 5tiles between roads in the shape +. And in it there will be either 2x one-tile house and 1x three tile house or 3x one-tile house and 1x dwo-tile house. I cannot try it, because of my old potatio PC that cannot run this game.
I haven't watched skylines videos for a while and didn't even no skylines 2 was released! I was like, it looks different I wonder if he's playing with a mod. How exciting!
