The Green lights at the oil field are mercury vapor gas lamps. Factories used these instead of normal gas lamps as they have a longer lifetime and glow stronger.
Also, the reason the Sant Denis streetlights are much whiter and brighter than the rest of the lightbulbs is because they are arc lights. They work by causing electricity to arc between two rods, which lets off a substantial amount of light (it also produces a lot of hazardous ultraviolet light). Because they could be used to illuminate a wide area, arc lights were the most common form of outdoor electric lighting before being replaced by incandescent lights.
I thought maybe they were green because of the mount shann panoramic map, maybe to be able to see locations easier from the mountain when trying to solve that puzzle?
Another detail you may not have noticed. If you look closely at the wires one of them will be slightly thicker (normally attached lower down the pole) that’s the telegraph wire. The thinner wires are for electricity. Beyond Blackwater only the thicker telegraph wire is used.
Very cool! I like how straight-to-the-point you were. I can imagine someone, or multiple people, at Rockstar between 2013-2018 whose entire job was just to set up the telephone poles around the map, connect them to any electricity-requiring devices, and then connect all the poles back to the facility in Saint Denis. What sounds like a simple job probably took months to perfect.
Like the guy at Rocksteady whose whole job for two years was animating Batman's cape. "What do you do for a living?" "I put minute details into video games so obsessive nerds will have something to talk about." 😁
I was the guy in the first RDR (2010) that had to place nearly every cutscene to the exact coordinates and rotations so that the characters didn't float in the air and portions of them didn't clip into any of the world environment objects. A lot of hours went into that.
I can imagine how the conversation went. You: "Hey guys did you know that in Red Dead Re...." Your friends: "Omg Red Dead again? Can you talk about something else for once?" You: "No no guys listen this is really interesting. So you know how I told you my favorite game Red Dead Redemption is realistic right? This game is so realistic that some lights aren't even connected to the electricity grid" Your friends: "....Anywaaaay"
This is a really well made video, short and to the point paired with good editing, this video reminds me of the video any austin did on the GTA IV electrical poles. Very good and underrated video keep it up. I've been playing this game since two months after its launch and I never paid attention to the sounds the lights make, somehow after 6 years I still find things I never knew about this game despite me thinking I know everything there is to it
This channel is so underrated. Also I’ve allways wondered about the electric poles and wanted to fallow them to the source but never did. Great job on the video.
Amazing video! I work with exactly those older types of poles irl (mostly fixing errors and removing too old poles) and rockstar must have had some electrican and historian because almost everything is 100% correct. Really cool detail in a game about cowboys lol
Without creaters like you, these wonderful details would be lost on most, myself included. Thanks for sharing this! Id like to think it encourages and inspires future dev teams to provide this level of detail again.
If they want to simultaneously prevent mistakes and add detail to the next game, they could make it part of the game mechanics that light bulbs won't light unless there is a wire leading to them. And also give players the ability to sever wires, shutting off power.
I have played or watched this game since its release, and only now realize Strawberry does not have an electrical grid. Me watching a 5 minute clip about the electrical grid of a VIDEOGAME shows how this game is probably the greatest in a generation... i am in awe
@@koolaid33 Undeterred by his new found predicament and without respite the fledgling player character begins to receive effective fire... From all angles. 🧐
The Dev/Programming work towards authenticity were absolutely grand. I can give it a passing grade with enthusiasm. That one guy stealing power from that communications line tho… ‘I’ll fornicate his entire house with lawsuits’ - Bell, probably.
I almost never comment on RUclips video's, but I have to say you make really nice content! And considering the fact you only have a little under 600 subscribers witch is a shame, keep making video's and I'm sure you'll blow up one day!
Good Video! Nicely on Point, and good Visuals and Editing, goes to show that even an AI Voice can be tolerated, a lil tip on my side, the pause between the words are almost perfect, a lil longer couldnt hurt, but nevermind me! Congrats
this came up in my recommended and went to click on it but youtube refreshed and when I typed rdr2 poles, only the Polish family came up lmao, now I got recommended again ty youtube
Very cool video. I would have never thought about telephone/ electric poles in the game. Rockstar is truly amazing. There's just no other developer even close
Normally id care less about this stuff in reality...but you had my attention and pure intrest and curiosity...that i wanted to see how in depth it went and I was not dissapointed...excellent my friend great game good attention to detail and excellent vid
The sparks on the cable cars are a cool feature. BTW, although not done usually; people could have buried the lines under ground. I realize this is not as efficient but folks back in those days would not of known as electricity was new to them. Also DC was used at first, it was not until Tesla who later invented AC
Subscribed❤ This is such a Great channel Bro keep it up Just a question Is this your actual voice or ai Cuz im also thinkingof starting a channel and wanted a good ai voice for vids🙏🏻
I love your video. I feel it was inspired by some of Any Austin videos. Keep doing it and maybe add mo history and jokes, more personalty so you don't sound like an IA voice
Electrical distribution can be done over a single line, called single-phase, and it is very common towards the exterior reaches of circuits. This is why we use alternating current, so the current can flow both ways along a single wire which is more efficient for distributing power over long distances. We standardized this system in the mid-1880s so it works timeline wise.
Top of the poles are for voltage and the lower ones are communication. A reason it looks as some armt connected on poles are because they arent, both are "traveling different directions" late 1800's Houses in cities were getting Knob and tube wiring so it'd explain for surface mounted Lights fun dave knob and tune aas used up intill the 1940's I stoll take some out of old houses and replace it.😊
This is exactly a thing that I would love to do my self just for fun. HOW haven’t I realized to follow them before?! 😂 guess this’ll have to do bcos it’s not gonna be fun if I know there’s already a vid about it 😅
Oil rigging lights tend to be for safety purposes, long life, indicators of working conditions, night vision efficacy, or in this case a specific chemical to make them green so that if they pop they will be less likely to cause a fire (different temp ratings basically). It's an oil rig after all. Plenty of very not modern processes going on there, but a one stop shop in green or purple lights? All the difference in the world.
I frickin' love RDR2! Will we ever get another game with so much detail? It may never come. It was only possible because of the massive success of the GTA franchise. But I fear these games are fading and the people in charge are gone. No game ever made comes close to the detail found in the Red Dead world.
Telephone/Telegram Cablee were usually placed on railroad rights of way since the railroads were the first coast to coast road that logically connected cities to each other.

I thought they were green because of aliens…
I thought it had something to do with better lighting at night, and I was semi-correct, but this makes a lot more sense.

Behold, a youtube video that doesn't spend 20 minutes talking about random bs and actually shows what it's promising 👏👏👏
All these poles and zero edging!
love it.
I don't know about rdr2 but in rdr1, if you jump on a power line you won't clip through it, you will hit it and fall, they all have collision
Going to test that!
Didn’t think a video about poles in a video game would be that captivating. 👏🏻

Good delivery, straight to the point, well directed video too. Glad it got recommended, you deserve a lot of subs.
The video about electric poles is shocking! 😂 What a depth this game brings in. Kudos to you for discovering this info

Bro, this reminds me of the lonely streetlamp on the highway in GTA5 next to the windmills :D
Why does everything explained by the British, just sound better lol
Because they have the perfect documentary voice. I mean, just look at David Attenborough. His narration for documentaries is legendary.
@@koolaid33 Agree. Only I'd say the English; not Welsh or Scottish.

It almost sounds like an ai voice, not sure though as it also sounds human at times.
ESPECIALLY horror short stories!
Ayyyyy always nice to see powerlines get some love, love the attention to detail with this game. 🎉
such a wellmade video!! i wonder why it only has 8 views :(
Thank you
It's at 8,400 views now. Hope it keeps growing!
Patience, young grasshopper
Couldn’t agree more, fantastic video. I played through the entire game without noticing this, and now I think I need to play the whole game again!
Low effort ai
need more channels like this and Any Austin, keep it up!
Some games are just so good to the point talking about poles in them is actually intriguing.
So I clicked on this video....and instantly clicked on rdr2. Such a beautiful game!!!

Side quests introduced us to his technology, but I don't think his magic went as far as Blackwater 😅
As a guy from Poland I got very confused but came here and enjoyed the video
now i feel like riding in the night and following random lightbulbs all around the map just to have an excuse to play the game again.
interesting video and good narration i hope u get more subscribers
Love how people look at these details in rdr2, really creative work

nice video on such details which we'll never notice ❤
Thanks a lot 😊
Someone finally made a video dedicated about this aspect in the game
this is a great video, you’re so underrated !
Well done. This was great and I've seen a lot of rdr2 videos. Keep them coming.
Thank you!
That one guy who really killed it at the brainstorming:
*Yes, but accuracy!*
Different sounding lamps and lights! Insane detail! Love it!
I believe that the bright white and spherical lights in Saint Denis are carbon arc lamps.
Very cool video. I would have never thought about telephone/ electric poles in the game. Rockstar is truly amazing. There's just no other developer even close
i love this video
HOW DOES IT ONLY HAVE 800 LIKES THIS NEEDS MILLIONS!

Compare this level of detail to what gta 6 might be. I can’t even fathom
What a silly mystery, they obviously lead to Mr Wróbel's little ranch.

It' an AI voice. gl with your channel
I love this video so much. Please continue making videos like these
I will try)
1:00 they developed Bluetooth in 1899 💀💀💀
Tesla was cooking 💀💀💀
I mean wireless communication was first introduced to the world in 1894, while the theory was already given in 1866, so there's that.

I remember running with my horse into so many poles, and yet i can't think of 1 location where they are
Your a great narrator and should definitely upload more vids
