pretty good attempt. You just ended up with some really badly placed and mixed spawns. I suspect folks who are going for 100k+ runs are basically re-starting and re-trying until they get a perfect storm of things lining up nicely.
Thank you so much 😀I wish I could create content as fast as you can paint, but that's why I've got playlists I guess! Enjoy your time here, calm vibes all the time :)
Since I started watching your videos now every time I play and house spawns next to a colour it doesn't belong with I just hear your voice in my head saying “ [colour] stop scaring the locals” 🤣
Man, so happy for you, with the recent runs! You're doing great! I remember only a few weeks ago, commenting about the concept of you getting 10k (or an equivalent score). Amazing to see how fast you got it 😌
I'm very happy with my progress too! I think the next hurdle is seeing the matrix and going into true infinity - properly blocking instead of just slapping roads down, for example. Lots still to learn!
It's interesting the bug you saw on disconnection, several promising cities of mine were brought down by craziness after redevelopment. Cars just taking insane long journeys on motorways into housing areas, blocking traffic that was always segregated. Since the last update you see cars going in/out of the wrong colour houses, it may be a different symptom of the lost cars.
That's my hunch too: they might even have a timer set up to check if a car is not home and just casually path it home after its intended travel time is over. I bet their devs are pulling their hair out to solve a pathfinder algorithm worst nightmare: path might not exist 😂
@@Retroflux that's why the grey routes are generally there but roundabouts often have gaps they can drive over. It could be an error in deletion code that fails to notice cars need the route. That would explain the bumbling I have seen and your whacky 5D routes taken after changes.
I think you could speed up traffic by avoiding crossroads (4+ way intersections) as MUCH as possible, particularly in cul-de-sacs, since cars seem to slow down for crossroads unlike T-intersections. Alternatively you could use roundabouts or staggered T-intersections, or if there's simply no space then god-forbid - traffic lights. Also, maybe change your challenge to be top 300-500 rather than 10k trips? It's too bad the game doesn't seem to give your score a percentage rank, as that would be ideal - then your challenge could be to be to place in the top 80-95% of players.
But where houses join road cars are slow starting from rest, there an X may be the best solution when mixed spawns occur. It can only be 2 cars that respond to demand simultaneously so they are not delayed by much. There's a lot more players now, even top 3000 can be in the top 2% of players. 10K is less of a moving target, but is easier on some maps than others. Also cars do slow for T's & Y's when higher traffic means cars conflict. Later game traffic lights can help by bunching side road card, joining main flow without the space requirements of roundabouts.
@@Retroflux Ok, got to 3.3k on my second try. Gosh, having a big cluster of green/blue on one side and 4 circle buildings on the other side of the map is just too much. Even with 2 motorways and roundabouts. :D
Try not to make a 3 way intersection from roads and motorway near your factory. It wuld clog up. Also dont do 5 way entrance intersection on the houses near the motorway because it slows down their arriving time even they use a motorway.
But cars are faster on the highway, if 5 houses meet on 1 road they start from rest, the next tile can be the motorway entry, lengthening the road route won't speed anything. If the motorway supplies one dest, the flexibility of slip roads isn't required as you don't ever need more than 5 houses (except perhaps if the route is exceptionally long).

Fucking LOL

Ew, I ain't about that life, I'll take top 300 lol
Your voice is so calming, I love listening to your videos why painting. Even though it’s chaotic sometimes, It still calm me down somehow🤣❤️

"We just jucing bro"
Retro, 2021
If the devs wanted to be really mean they could just make spawns ignore roads that weren't connected to a destination
wow, didn't think you were going to upload this that fast, i was expecting this video for the next week lol
Was it because I said, "I'm not uploading another video for like a week" in my LA video? LOL

If you yell loud enough, rumour has it they stop for ten whole minutes :^)
Now do it 10k

I like your editing style. Getting better myself now. Looking forward to when u start getting the attention u deserve.

5:48 That was so dirty... HAHA
Keep it up Retro! Hi from Brazil!!! I'm coming for your score today!!
Hello from Canada! Good luck with Beijing, it's a rough one!
Love it in dark mode!
This was fun, great job man.
"I need the juice. So I'm going to send 'em" I realize you're not, but it sounds like you were calling on OJ to help you with your roads.
when that green business jumped right in the path I laughed so hard
Glad my pain gives you pleasure lmao
Oh maaan, you could have used the two red houses directly below Freeway 2 to juice the ones on the right
That went on far longer than one would expect; the amount of bull crap you have to do just to do anything in this game...
I think the game knows that I make content and just likes to punish me because of that
no one is going to talk about the red cars at 16:55

In order to get 10k, u probably just need good spawns. I hope u come back to it at some point just to see :)
Closer to perfect spawns, I'd wager! If only 300 people have gotten above ~6K before... it's probably a 1 in 100 kind of spawn
What about immediately putting a roundabout onto a mall when they spawn?
That does work, but you'd be fighting with space restrictions by the time a mall spawns!
“Completely Euchred” I sense a Midwesterner
👀👀👀👀
Well, I guess I will try to beat you on Bejing today :D
Bro good luck! Remember to juice it bro

Could a road in between the top-left green lvl 2 and white lvl 1 have been useful?

This.
I don't get how the timer can keep going up when there are more cars arriving than can fit into the car park. Makes no sense
You normally start with a much smaller map how’d you start with such a huge space.
I... Don't know. Maybe the east side spawn gives you extra tiles?
Hello 👋, good videos
Love the vids
unfortunately now ill be saying 'were just juicing bro' all day
BEIJING CORN WE NEED A MARKET IN MINI MOTORWAYS THAT GIVES BEIJING CORNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN idk why i commented this
very good videos
Sometimes I feel like the game just wants to hurt my feelings, and it succeeds =.=
oof
Grats :)
I’m good with 1k ok
I know it wasn't intentional, but your profile picture immediately made me think it was almost the end of Sunday and I panicked a little
That's terrible, that might work: the game.
First 😂
