I love how this game subtly teaches the idea that you cannot build your way out of traffic using only one mode of transportation. I wonder if they could combine this game and mini metro.
-Confusing and congested roundabouts -Endless construction -Ripping up roads before anything is put down to replace them -Massive highways installed immediately over residences -Making people's commutes longer and less direct You can tell he's a real civil engineer. 🙂
This was the level that taught me that there are more houses than you actually need. It's better to not connect some to limit the supply to supermarkets/imaxes to reduce congestion.
So I found out through steam that the devs have done a patch (24th August) to make traffic lights more effective. I don't know when this was recorded but maybe traffic lights could be good?
It's weird how difficult it is to find a use for them and it's simply a throwaway device in the late game. Maybe if they could be used to enforce one-way roads with double the throughput then it could help and be a strategic placement.
They changed several important rules: 3-way intersections are now intersections for car-speed purposes, All intersections are faster, Traffic lights are faster. This means that 3-way intersections are now bad, 3-way intersection builds create lots of intersections, each of which slows traffic. That means you want to create as few intersections as possible. And 8-way intersection can feed 7 houses into an "imax" using just one intersection, which is perfect. However, not everything works out so perfectly, but the principle of fewer intersections with more roads into each intersection still applies, and a light into an octopus intersection is pretty valuable... or alternatively, one octopus intersection (without a light) might feed 2 or 3 stores with a couple of (now slow) 3-way intersections. Roundabouts are still better, of course, but you can't really get enough of them and they don't fit everywhere. I miss high speed 3-ways already. Errr.... intersections I mean. High speed intersections.
Traffic light are only useful in the late game. They make a very crowded crossroad a little bit faster because it makes first unblocks one side and then block it again and unblocks the oder side. So there is always a bit of a flow. In the early game it just makes everything slower because it blocks cars even if there are no other cars to pass by.
It's simpler than that. Roundabouts take up more tiles than traffic lights, making traffic lights useful on crossroads that don't leave enough room for a roundabout.
@@moondust2365 I mean, While WW2 did destroy a lot of Structures, Roads, which are the most important part of transportation, remained mostly intact. The actual problem is that the said American Planners didn't account for future growth and fast Urbanization of the Metropolitan Manila Area, and succeeding governments not caring about building more public transportation
As someone who stayed in Manila and is Filipino, this is actually a really realistic representation. The unplanned chaotic mess in the city planning, the pasta like spread of motorways/skyways, and oh how can I forget the traffic.
Use traffic lights when a house other than the color of the road spawns and connot be disconnected. This will prevent cars from slowing down because of an unusable house, and the light always stays green so no cons ;D
I haven't seen anyone use it, but traffic lights are great for T-Intersections. Only ones where cars never turn left onto the main road. This is because cars can still turn right when their light is red. As long as no car needs to turn left, the light will never change and all cars, from every direction, will move full speed through it.
Id love to see this game have other modes of transportation, Bus, Train, Boat, Plane, oh god the potential of this game, even if these devs don't do it, I think someone would eventually make a similar game with all of them
There’s a point in the game where it can go on infinitely except, at a certain point, the game just breaks, but finding the perfect point where you don’t have to do anything is really hard. Usually around 9 motor was. Also, if you make even the slightest change, it can completely devastate the run at that level
The most recent patch made Traffic Lights viable. Cars move through Traffic Lights a tad faster. They're really good for areas that can't fit a roundabout. Also I think cars move through 3-way intersections ever so slightly slower.
Extreme segregation is the best way. Try to build separate roads for each store pretty much. Less connecting. I’ve read that cars don’t take the closet shopping bag, they take the first available shopping bag so if you’ve got a long road connected, Karen from across the map will take the journey rather than the driver next door who just got home
IIRC, devs have added some prioritization. When a car returns from a trip, it first looks for high priority trips (destinations with a timer), and if none are showing, will take the trip which has the shortest number of tiles to get there.
I would love to see a run where part of the way through you clear everything and plan it out after you have a ton of buildings. Is that possible in this game?
You should use a short diagonal road in places where a shop would be terrible. This prevents them from spawning and ruining your roadways. The fewer shops in the end the higher the score you can get.

Im a filipino, you pronounced pasig amazingly, ilog though, you pronounced “ay-log” although it’s supposed to be “i-log” the i is pronounced like how we say the letter e so technically, “ee-log” Loving the videos man so much great content
@@getnaenaed8063 Yep. Even an American will say it the same way, that’s because of the English accent british or american, that’s why I just clarified it and I’m not really insulting him IF you think I am but if not, have a great day
@@getnaenaed8063 Accent isn't the issue here. It's just knowing how to sound it. In English language, vowels have two sounds. Long sounds, where the vowels are pronounced as if it is a standalone letter (ey, ee, eye, oow, yu), and short sounds (ah, eh, i, oh, ugh). In Filipino language, vowels only have short sounds. With that in mind, Americans and English can pronounce Filipino words easily.
Wanted to try this game so baaad! I also never get tired of you playing this. And also your pronounciation of the name of the river is not bad. Pasig is very well pronounced but ilog is pronounced e-log if this makes sense lol but overall not bad on pronouncing it! 😄
Imagine if this game allowed tunnels and bridges wherever you wanted, and not just over water or under mountains. I’d also love to see something added to a sequel like trains/stations
And this, ladies and gentlemen was how we inspired the great minds of the people who designed and birthed into existence the M25 London orbital motorway. This game seems like a lot of fun but also shows me I couldn't be an engineer. Working with established infrastructure seems like a real ball ache. I like the idea of working with a blank canvas but I love how the game forces you to work around previous work. Cool content dude, keep it up 😊
This video alone has improved my game. Segregating, get all the motorways, ignore the traffic lights, its all working well so far. Until I get a red house in the middle of a bunch of yellow ones 😁. Thanks for the tips 👍
The devs caught on to this loophole last week; with the latest update, even 3-way intersections induce a delay. Traffic lights plus dedicated right-turn-only bypasses could still work.
i was really looking forward to this map ever since you reached more than 2 thousand points in your last episode's map (zurich)!! i enjoyed it thoroughly and i love this series :> much love from the philippines
No, that's not an accurate comparison of pronunciations because the "log" with short o, is different from the -log in "ilog". their short o is different from our o.
@@nextdoordreamer I mean, yeah, but pronouncing it in an American accent (or even in a British one), "e-log" sounds right. It's not the "proper" pronunciation, but eh, good enough.
@@moondust2365 not good enough if you can hear and are aware of the obvious difference in vowel pronunciation. :) Respect other languages by not propagating the wrong pronunciation of non-English languages. :)
@@nextdoordreamer I can definitely hear and are aware of the differences in pronunciation. I'm just not a fan of forcing the native pronunciation of a word from one language when the word is loaned onto a different language. The pronunciation in the other language should approximate the original, but it doesn't have to be exactly the same. Especially for languages where the original pronunciation would have slightly differed from place to place anyway. Also, I myself am a Filipino. And personally, I feel like inserting a word with a Tagalog pronunciation in an English sentence shouldn't be forced. Similarly, many English words are pronounced slightly differently when used in a Tagalog sentence than when used in an English sentence, and that's fine. That's just how languages work.
@@moondust2365 I appreciate varieties and differences in culture and the same goes for accents. By no means am I saying that people should always pronounce foreign words correctly, in fact, I was never a fan of accent shaming (where people make fun of non-native English speakers speaking English with foreign accents). I abhor it. What I was pointing out is the person misrepresented "ilog" as "e-log". There's a difference between 'accepting the pronunciation of a word with a foreign accent' vs 'TEACHING the WRONG pronunciation of a word'. In this case, OG misrepresented the correct pronunciation. Perhaps if he/she mentioned it being "kind of like" or "close to" the pronunciation they mentioned, there need not be the clarification that they are, in fact, not teaching the precise and accurate way to pronounce it, but is only presenting it as "similar to" the mentioned word. English language teachers give importance to ESL learners being able to pronounce English words accurately, why not attempt to at least teach and represent our language adequately if not accurately?
I think it matters to have the two businesses that spawn with the same parking lot to get their cars from the correct entrance. Like with your yellow and dark blues at the top. It would be better if the yellows came around the left and the blue went in the right entrance.
@Opecuted yes I agee, what I meant is that you can have one entry for each color, but the side where you plug them does not matter because the parking lot is shared
@Opecuted tbh if you're forced too, with the new buff to lights and the nerf to 3 way intersections, just a light, or a roundabout can handle 2 colors using one entrance most of the time. Maybe not if they're both big shops, but certainly if they're both small.
After changin the roads , the cars have to complete their journeys which can take long times and by the time the roads changed it will be hard as game scales and most will be Imax cinemas
I think the real purpose of a civil engineer is to take a project doomed to not actually alleviate the problem and also make it cost as much as possible while taking twice the estimated time, at least that seems to be the working theory in every city I've ever been to.
this is actually simpler than reality since in manila its just a web of motorways with motorways merging and splitting up, motorways above others, etc.
"I've been playing this game for 15 hours, you'd really think I'd be better at this by now" Me: *Laughs in over 2,000 in most games I own and is still terrible*
Could I, per chance, intrest you in the modest proposition of playing a game called dark souls? For the singular reason of spiteing the architects of course. Also, the content is amazing and is one of the most enjoyable channels ive ever found.
Why doesn't the game allow for land-bridges? Like maybe a 3-length limit or something that enables short overpasses so you no longer have your roads go all the way out of the way, they can be more direct, like most city roads.
Extreme segregation seems like a counter-intuitive solution to me. The optimal arrangement is plausibly one where each road is used evenly and maximally. Restricting any given road to a single color feels like it works against this goal (more likely to end up with roads under/over used), and two cars of different colors don't seem to behave any differently to two cars of the same color (?)
You're leaning hard on this idea that "extreme segregation" is always worth the cost. Have you tested this? I could imagine scenarios where direct routes, with roundabouts and byways, are more efficient, no?
I found it, these were the first videos that got me into you channel but I couldn’t remember the name of the game. You play it so well I could never plan it that perfect.
I love how this game subtly teaches the idea that you cannot build your way out of traffic using only one mode of transportation. I wonder if they could combine this game and mini metro.

I think the real purpose of a civil engineer is to take a project doomed to not actually alleviate the problem and also make it cost as much as possible while taking twice the estimated time, at least that seems to be the working theory in every city I've ever been to.
Wow Matt gets a pretty good score
*looks in recommended*
aliensrock video of 30,000+ points
Wow makes Matt look like an architect.
this is actually simpler than reality since in manila its just a web of motorways with motorways merging and splitting up, motorways above others, etc.
0:24 constantly congested
That Blue Bridge is BRILLIANT!
Even Metro Manila Skyway near SM City Sta. Mesa did similar.
I love how mini motorways actually call it *"Ilog Pasig"* instead of Pasig River 🥺
It names all the bodies of water in the native language the city is in.
This week's weekly challenge is no motorways and double traffic lights - it's like your worst nightmare XD Would love to see a video.
2:08 pronounced like E-log, or spanish Y
wdym?
@@cynder9993essentially, it's pronounced as "eeh-log"
"I've been playing this game for 15 hours, you'd really think I'd be better at this by now" Me: *Laughs in over 2,000 in most games I own and is still terrible*
At 3:47 if you had not mentioned it I would not have noticed it
As an Architect and Urban Planner in the Philippines, this is a very accurate representation of Metro Manila traffic and cityscape.
Could I, per chance, intrest you in the modest proposition of playing a game called dark souls? For the singular reason of spiteing the architects of course.
Also, the content is amazing and is one of the most enjoyable channels ive ever found.
I second this request
A ball bag and a shaft honestly such an elegant way to say that 😂
Maybe when the level reaches max size do a complete remap and delete the old infrastructure
Keep this series up! I love watching your problem solving process and your frustration at the RNG of the game
This RNG is accurate idk why
Why doesn't the game allow for land-bridges? Like maybe a 3-length limit or something that enables short overpasses so you no longer have your roads go all the way out of the way, they can be more direct, like most city roads.
when you say 'fellow engineers' it makes me feel smart
eventhough i'm not one... at least not now, idk what live has reserved for me
I love how he naively considers 15 hours a lot for a game
I played 30 hours last weekend of borderlands 3 and the same a few months ago with rdr2
red & yellow: neat, organized rows of houses
green: ...
blue: _favelas_
Extreme segregation seems like a counter-intuitive solution to me. The optimal arrangement is plausibly one where each road is used evenly and maximally. Restricting any given road to a single color feels like it works against this goal (more likely to end up with roads under/over used), and two cars of different colors don't seem to behave any differently to two cars of the same color (?)
The gigantic group of dark blue you forgot at the bottom right at the end was giving me a heart attack
DAMN that was a good run, crushed my highest score
lost track of everything after 3 mins. Still watched til the end. This is gold.
This episode looks like a bunch of bone bloodlines and muscle tendons with some cells and stuff flowing throughout them
And the Imax theatre is the powerhouse of the cel then? lol
As a Filipino, I would like to say, your pronunciation of Manila and Ilog made me very happy!
You're leaning hard on this idea that "extreme segregation" is always worth the cost. Have you tested this? I could imagine scenarios where direct routes, with roundabouts and byways, are more efficient, no?
"That's just temporary" must be how city planners feel about 50% of their planning
Within One Minute Gang!
2 years 💀
And one month
Connecting houses and supermarkets with roads for cars. Welcome to the most North American game ever.
not everything in philipines is pronouncing the letter i a and o
I found it, these were the first videos that got me into you channel but I couldn’t remember the name of the game. You play it so well I could never plan it that perfect.
I have never found someone that likes motorways so much
Take a shot every time he says motorway and if you still standing you're the real MVP
