I always laugh when you start the vids with "hello fellow engineers" bc i'm literally a nursing student who doesn't know the first thing about engineering but I binge watch your vids during my study breaks bc they're so entertaining 😂😂
I am a communication science student and everytime he says "hello fellow engineer" I just go "hell yea I am engineering communication between human thru social media" (I am not) 🤣🤣
My theory is the engineers like to create traffic, just so they can have fun making simulations. Not actually implement a solution, just feed real world traffic into the simulation. Sadism
When there's only clockwise turns or straights it's always better to make the sequence go counter clockwise and vice versa because then the direction the lanes are draining in is always away from where the next cars are coming from. If the sequence goes the same direction as the turns, the lanes getting green will always be blocked by the last car leaving the crossing. That way you could even have overlapping turns, as in, the next turning lane could go one step before the last one stops, so there's less down time. The straights can't do that though because they will come in too early before the turner can leave the crossing. Keep in mind that this only works in a world where people don't jump red.
There's something strangely calming and relaxing about watching you play these games that honestly is exactly the kind of short break I need when feeling overwhelmend :) Or on a winter morning with breakfast in my bed, can't wait
Supporting solo devs or small team devs is important. Many times they start an amazing idea but get wiped by the bigger cooperations because they just throw manpower and hours against an idea and make something half but get higher rating because its a company we all know.
I think you almost had it early where cars went head on. If you jogged the lanes to the side with the spare space, could have had the head ons going at the same time I reckon.
This man needs to learn that counter clockwise traffic lights are much more efficient for left hand traffic in this case. Because it adds the new traffic behind the traffic already on the junction instead of smack in the middle of it. Same with the roundabouts.
The lights going clockwise or counter-clockwise does matter. If you have traffic lights for straight and right, then as these cars are moving, they are blocking the next road clockwise the most because that is where they are going. If the lights change to the clockwise position, they need to wait for the intersection to clear before they go. However, those one road counter-clockwise have a clear path already. They don't need to wait for anyone. They need to travel into the intersection, crossing one lane of traffic before they meet other vehicles. So yes, having the lights go counter-clockwise around works better than going clockwise as there is less waiting.
For the hamburger roundabout, I'm curious as to how Matt's road arrangement would work with traffic lights. I think it might beat the dev by even more.
You should maybe put the lights a square back instead of right on the turn, so there is more time to clear the road so it doesn’t build up. Just a thought
Hello, just want to inform you that you made a mistake in cross level at 8:31, just stop it at that time and you'll see what isn't good, that is probably the reason dev had score that is 100 higher than yours.
hi RCE! i really love your videos and i find your doing great work! i would really recommend you playing mindustry, wich is crossing massive factory making and tower defense. it is great and i would be really happy seeing you paying it.😁 anyways, have a nice day!
Thats not how traffic lights are done, you have room for a free left(yay you figured that out) and can start the right with an offset from the otherside to get more throughput.
Was expecting a bit of “engineering”. Plus this a video game. I don’t think you can possibly be any further from “real” engineering even if you tried. 😂
Actually that is not even a squarabout, if anything it would be a rectanglabout or something like that, since it is 12*9 cells, a squarabout would need even sides
why no slip roads on the hamburger? you could´ve made it so yellows that spawned on the left instantly go right so they don´t block up the roundabout, same with greens on the right...
I wish all cross roads and t-junctions in the UK had left turn only lanes. Would reduce waiting time a lot for turning left. Combining straight with left turn is stupid.
Does he ever notice that the first green light with the yellow on the left hand side goes from green to red before any cars arrive so they never get the chance to go through? Like they will never get to go because the first 2 seconds are the cars getting to the lights.
You should be adding additional turn lanes for the cars that are just making a left. That way the other cars that are going straight or a different direction can get passed them before the main intersection.
I got over 14k on Tangle by taking the yellows up top between the green out and blue in, then cutting across the blues when the two are going up from the bottom
Day seventy six of asking Matt to add the Second Narrows Bridge, Ironworkers Memorial to the Wheel of Bridgetune It is a cantilevered truss bridge, carrying 6 lanes of traffic from Vancouver to North Vancouver in B.C. across the second narrowing of the Burrard Inlet. It's name comes from the fact that it collapsed twice during construction, which unalived 23 people in total (Hence the name, ironworkers memorial).

It's ok evidently Matt doesn't know anything about engineering either so don't feel bad 😂
If you have subscribed and binge watched all RCE then you are most defiantly a honorary Engineer!
Matt should just roundabout everything
i totally support that
Squareabout*
Yes ver true
With no "give way" marking, roundabouts don't really work.
You didn't have to be so straight about it...could have said it on a more roundabout way!
Here all week!
it almost scares me that people like this made our motorways
Lol
My theory is the engineers like to create traffic, just so they can have fun making simulations. Not actually implement a solution, just feed real world traffic into the simulation. Sadism
Tbf theres no traffic lights on motorways
@@FzBlade Incorrect. M271 boasts traffic lights
@@PianoKwanManCan confirm 👍
My husband says “ooh we should watch that architect guy!”
I’m sure this is actually your nightmare…someone mistaking you for an architect 😂

Matt, the reason why giga's score isnt showing, its because you gave up and used the dev's option
and that failed as well cause of an Issue with AMD and Intel CPUs calculating differently
Didnt the devs fail for him
oh yeah, and when u fail it doesnt count@@thelioncub1439
Gotta love the first simulation starting with a 4-way head-on collision.

I thought you didn't complete Giga because of a glitch? The dev solution didn't work either because of CPU speed I think they said.
I think you almost had it early where cars went head on. If you jogged the lanes to the side with the spare space, could have had the head ons going at the same time I reckon.
Try adding a square on the inside of corners where you can so the cars can cut the corners more
Nandos - give yellow and green dedicated right turns outside of roundabout.
I thought the same thing and had to check the comments
Suggestion, when you do your thumbnail art for the videos, instead of Noob for the simple, inefficient solutions you could say Architect. 😁

A bit hard to watch for me as ... we use the normal right handed driving :D

Great to hear that it's coming to Steam. I'll look for it. And I think Matt will have to give that Merger level another shot.
The cars follow no regular traffic laws/rules. Very similar to real life. Good game.
You should maybe put the lights a square back instead of right on the turn, so there is more time to clear the road so it doesn’t build up.
Just a thought
Irritates me that Matt is not using separate turn lanes and lane mergings.
I’m just ready for more timberborn

Why didn‘t you just bring back the second lane at 18:00?
That would have given enough capacity for the red cars
Day 144 of asking Matt to play Mindustry
Counting may be off, I’m just a replacement
Matt’s motto probably is “when in doubt roundabout”
Day 23 of me asking matt to play Minecraft.(I know he has played so no fighting in the reply.)
Hey Matt, just so you know, the segments of traffic lights are actually 2 seconds each, not 1
I really hope you were a lot better at your professional day job than you are in these games lol
hi RCE! i really love your videos and i find your doing great work!
i would really recommend you playing mindustry, wich is crossing massive factory making and tower defense. it is great and i would be really happy seeing you paying it.😁
anyways, have a nice day!
This peaks my interest in engineering, but I can’t get the game 💀
Oh yeah, you got daylight savings shift a week before we do.
This had me tripped up!
Day 12 of asking Matt to play roblox industrialist
I just watched the other videos yesterday and I came back to see if there was one I missed and look at that u just uploaded this onr
This game is deceptively unintuitive to play.
When matt says carnage in grid road
Me: its gonna be CARnage
Thats not how traffic lights are done, you have room for a free left(yay you figured that out) and can start the right with an offset from the otherside to get more throughput.
Loving this Matt!!!!
Make a roundabout bridge
I love this game! Keep it up Matt!
Matt, do a challenge where in city sky lines 2 you can only use roundabout
😂😂 amazing I’m a civil engineer too 😂😂 brill to watch
I play cities skylines amazing game
Could you play mindustry
Damn, after nearly one year watching all your cs video, today just realize that i still not subscribe to your channel
Was expecting a bit of “engineering”. Plus this a video game. I don’t think you can possibly be any further from “real” engineering even if you tried. 😂
Instantly thought of Peri Boyz when Matt said cheeky Nandos. Oi~ Oi~ cheeky Nandos~!
Actually that is not even a squarabout, if anything it would be a rectanglabout or something like that, since it is 12*9 cells, a squarabout would need even sides
The hamburger roundabout is the worst thing I’ve ever seen lmao
Don’t bring those heathenous traffic lights into my European traffic circles
why no slip roads on the hamburger? you could´ve made it so yellows that spawned on the left instantly go right so they don´t block up the roundabout, same with greens on the right...
I wish all cross roads and t-junctions in the UK had left turn only lanes. Would reduce waiting time a lot for turning left. Combining straight with left turn is stupid.
My father is a civil engineer and knows all the technical terms you mention such as at grade
Matt do a giveaway for skylines 2!!!! I really want/need it but can't afford it and a giveaway will give me hope lol
The traffic is as bad as Traffic Jam ( As in the board game where you have to free the red car)
You should do a collab with Biffa if you're going to do traffic fixes, I'm just saying. 😅
13:20 - maybe we can improve moving oranges straight on a left side? They cycling 85% of circle
For the cross the top lane in the 3 times 1 section timers you had one of them one off, which is probably the main reason you got less than dev
I engineered this comment🔥🔥🔥
I also engineered this comment
@@Valboyythe first comment was re engineered.
@@Mac_OmegalyI had to change it since an architect made it
Day 139 of asking Matt to play Mindustry.
I'd like to see Matt have only red lights just to see if any car will run the light.
Day 2 of asking RCE to play Sandship: The Last Engineer.
Well I am so glad I’m not playing this game. Simple concept but it hurts my brain
what do you mean you aren't throwing stuff against the wall to see what sticks? that IS engineering
this is just freeways without bridges and with traffic lights
Does he ever notice that the first green light with the yellow on the left hand side goes from green to red before any cars arrive so they never get the chance to go through?
Like they will never get to go because the first 2 seconds are the cars getting to the lights.
That nandos has more potential... Yellow from left can get own line to not go all around the roundabout... 😂
Heres a challenge for you :3 can you make a functional city that is only connected to a singular roundabout
Nandos is flavourless and DRY. I do not understand how ppl can like that
Needs realism where no matter how well designed the road is, cars will refuse to keep pace and just create stop n go traffic for no valid reason
Who's that cute doggo in a hard hat in your channel banner?
If you can’t handle me at my architect, you don’t deserve me at my engineer.
7:36 WTH those 2 purple cars leaving side by side in one lane xD
The traffic lights actually have two second intervalls not one😅
There are few things that are more relaxing that watching you fix traffic :)
13:40 i would have added shortcuts for green and yellow to have them drive right instead of left
Does anyone remember freeways? This is just the minecraft version of it 😂
Did you know they added trains in mini motorways I saw a video of someone saying, and showing that
Best youtuber
If only u could add some of this into city skyline
this video was really inspiring thank you!!!!|
the longer dedicated lanes don't help because people don't bother to use it in this game
The cars in this game look like little starbursts
I Scored 13200 on Nandos & 14800 on Tangle :)
I'm not the OG guy but I also want Matt to play Mindustry
Here's to hoping that someday Matt will play my game 🤞
day 25 of asking matt to play oxygen not included
Where is the guy asking rce to play mindustry
You should be adding additional turn lanes for the cars that are just making a left. That way the other cars that are going straight or a different direction can get passed them before the main intersection.
Nvm commented this before seeing you make the improvement.
JESUS... Finally, Bypass Lanes :D
You can do curves by making a staircase shape
TH-cam thinks its Mini Motorways lol 😂
A roundabout within a roundabout surrounded by roundabouts!
Is there an ETA for when it's gonna show on Steam?
