any chance you share the settings and your hardware config ? I want to buy the game but I'm afraid it won't run well enough to enjoy playing it. Btw, I really enjoy the "educational part" where you share knowledge. This could be more developped if you find the right game for it
I could 100% watch architect Matt create complete craziness for a city just to see architect fixer engineer Matt to make something reliable and reasonable out of the architectural disaster
Honestly don't limit it to mini grids but just 1x1, 2x2, ... up to 6x6 grids, need to provide cheaper places for people to rent after all, due to the immense demand such a city will have (and nice 6x6 places for the people with jobs in larger than 1x1 industries). We must have Gridtopia! Might need to have bigger grids for educational purposes (since certain buildings are too big to fit in a 6x6) but I think we can look past that until mods happen.
Lets be fair a real Architech looking at this city, seeing all the problems would come up with the real solution. Build a Football Stadium. Because nothing fixes a city with bad water, no electricity, no jobs etc like a multi million dollar sports stadium right?
Genuinely a little sad that this wasn't an episode of him fixing Lets Game It Out's city. You haven't seen broken until you've unleashed Josh on a creative environment.
This guy is like the Tom Segura’s Steven Seagal of civil engineering. “I was in road engineering for like ten years.” “I was a drainage engineer for the last twenty years.” Yeah dude, we get it. You’ve done some engineering 😂 Big fan, I just think it’s funny how many different specific engineering niches you can claim some expertise in. Jolly good!
I’ve learned so much about this game, but having never played it and only watched cheeky TH-camrs play it, I haven’t the faintest idea how one is meant to handle sewage in the game. Surely thirty-foot deep ditches of raw sewage aren’t the recommended solution in a game called Cities: Skyline 😂
Fantastic video as always! I think Ductapia could really benefit from some decent public transport underground (if possible with the tunnels lol) so residents can get around much faster than the crazy roads currently allow.
I just had a thought at 19:50 where Matt talks about Architects doing crime, they might be the remnants that wish to overthrow the things that he engineers to preserve their architectural lifestyles
The obvious solution to the issue is to burn everything and start over again... but even then, architects' souls still haunt the area, meaning the best course of action is to burn it, go elsewhere, and start a new city,
Did anyone notice when Matt said the one guy left the town. In the right hand corner as soon as he said that you can see his car driving out of town lol.
Can engineering fix (x)? ...yes. Yes it can. The answer is always 'yes.' There is a reason they call it *_ENGINEERING A SOLUTION_* and not 'architecturing' a solution!
Matt: Trying to avoid trees, because trees have been there longer than we have. So it’s not fair that they get chopped down just because I want my people to have drinking water. Also Matt: We have a straight line to the sea, which of course we’re allowed to pollute because the de is massive. It will dilute.
I just found this channel like 3 days ago and I've been on a (random) binge catching up and This might be my favorite of the 10 or so I've seen so far.
i am not an architect, but my adhd would be making thousands of roads, non symmetrical, and i would just be like "more roads, who cares about how many hours google maps is gonna have to calculate to get to one place, and also ignore the 4593457345 dollar of debt we have." an engineer would cry at this idea.
Here’s a video idea: Your only goal is to make the population as high as possible, you can forget about everything else and just try to get thousands of people into your city 😁
Me - approaches RCE and slightly opens trench coat - "Pssssst" "Ya interested in acquiring and architectural plans? Or maybe perhaps some bootleg DaVinci?" RCE - throws hot tea in my face - "BACK! YOU HEATHEN!" Paddy - Barks and growls -
I was really hoping you're two birds one stone idea was going to be a catapult that launched the dead people away. Very entertaining, very good at getting rid of dead people
I was scrolling and saw this video.I remembered all the happy memories I have watching your vids and I was shocked of how I forgot about your channel. This is is literally the first time I seen your channel again in years and I’m happy I did see it lol
Day 121 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).
Electricity is a great way to farm XP; don't know if you've done a video on this, but you can essentially set up a small town, mine lots of rock, tax the sh*t out of the "minerals" good, and make several hundred million per month until you unlock the nuclear plant, at which point you can place and bulldoze it over and over to get 10k XP each time until you've reached megalopolis, unlocking everything and essentially speedrunning CS2. It's so broken and easy that I amassed a playtime of merely 4 hours before realizing I could do this, some of which was spent AFK.
Could we get a equilateral triangle city where all roads meet at 60 degree angles? No Roundabouts, no curves, all angles are 60 degrees. Would make for an interesting grid system
As an architect student with a minor in civil engineering, this hurt me to see. But I could definitely see an architect doing this if they were to run a city.
When I see crazy poop handling designs, all I can think of is CallMeKevin and his crazy stuff that goes even more horribly wrong thanks to natural disasters. Really enoy watching the messed up builds AND the fixes. It'd be a really cool series to get truly messed up stuff from other people and then fix it completely. That'd be fun. I learn a lot about how to properly do stuff here. Never really knew there was a rivalry between architects and engineers though. Interesting!
Watch Architopia being built first here: th-cam.com/video/TK2EKx0UtzE/w-d-xo.html
any chance you share the settings and your hardware config ? I want to buy the game but I'm afraid it won't run well enough to enjoy playing it.
Btw, I really enjoy the "educational part" where you share knowledge. This could be more developped if you find the right game for it
“I’ve nowhere to put the dead, so I’m gonna 2 bird, 1 stone it because what goes good with the dead? Entertainment!” 🤦♂️
I huess you've been dumped by an architect .😂
I could 100% watch architect Matt create complete craziness for a city just to see architect fixer engineer Matt to make something reliable and reasonable out of the architectural disaster
Official proof Matt is actually not an engineer: 00:56
“If I was an engineer”
Same. I could as well.
Could he please fix Almaty
I feel matt needs to try fixing a city from lets game it out
@@notthatbad42💀💀💀💀💀
New series where Matt fixes submitted architect cities from the fan base. Could be cool
How can there be any architect cities in the fanbase...🙄🙄
@@Sigurd_13, good point, but I'm sure there are unskilled engineers among the fans. ;)
@@skrzatuprzydomowy Right😅 you are 100% right... Can't always start on the top.
@@Sigurd_13 some of them patreon names are kinda suspicious
I'd definitely watch this!
Architects in the shady part of town: “Pssst, hey, buddy. You looking for some plans for an indoor water feature with poor ventilation?”
Half of new housing terrains in Lima 💀
Built a giant road parallel to an existing highway? Definitely an engineer.
It’s like a quirky TH-cam apology. Well done Matt. I know it was probably really difficult to face what you did but we forgive you.
What he do?
Matt: Haha cities on one grid, can you build a city like that?
Manhattan: *looks nervously*
Matt missing an opportunity to say “a solution to the poolution” 3:45
Isn't the Matt that we knew.
Maybe someone as acting as Matt
i'd love for you to take up the challenge of the mini grid city
Honestly don't limit it to mini grids but just 1x1, 2x2, ... up to 6x6 grids, need to provide cheaper places for people to rent after all, due to the immense demand such a city will have (and nice 6x6 places for the people with jobs in larger than 1x1 industries).

Little SanFran?
That poo is distressingly red. I'm no doctor, but I can't help but think that they should go get that checked.
honestly tho
20:31
Matt: “There’s nowhere to put the dead”
Landfills surrounding the area: “Am I a joke to you?”
the one person left when you lowered taxes cos he was the tax collector lol
Matt: so if I were an engineer...
Me: YOU ARE AN ENGINEER!
In past tense
After that last video for this city, he is clearly a self taught architect
@@redghost433 nah he just needed to get to know his enemies better so he can fight them better
TRUE
@@yngndrw. You don't stop being an engineer just because engineering isn't your current job.
TimberBoners boxer shorts please
Boners....lol
Get it? Boners... Boxer shorts... ?
They give you wood!
And thongs please!
Oh the puns will be fantastic!
Of course Matt knows architecture fairly well, the saying goes to keep your friends close and your enemies closer
Lets be fair a real Architech looking at this city, seeing all the problems would come up with the real solution. Build a Football Stadium. Because nothing fixes a city with bad water, no electricity, no jobs etc like a multi million dollar sports stadium right?
How about a "Saving your disaster cities" series, inspired by Legendoftotalwar's "Saving your disaster campaigns". BTW Sewers Canal earned you a like.
I AM NOT AN ARCHITECT… procedes to say IF I were an engineer what would I do here
I hope we get to see a micro grid city
Same
1x1 buildings with 12-lane stroads, a Murica level 😎🇺🇸
Genuinely a little sad that this wasn't an episode of him fixing Lets Game It Out's city. You haven't seen broken until you've unleashed Josh on a creative environment.
In this episode: Matt turns Architopia into London by recreating the Thames
I love hearing about how actual engineers do their work. Very enjoyable.
This guy is like the Tom Segura’s Steven Seagal of civil engineering. “I was in road engineering for like ten years.” “I was a drainage engineer for the last twenty years.” Yeah dude, we get it. You’ve done some engineering 😂

Love how you didn't knock down any buildings (accept the abandoned house) to fix this. This is how I like to do things and living with my mistakes.
I would love to see Biffa fix the city. He's been engineering thousands of city fixes in the past. 💜
I would love to see what Biffa would do with your city at the start of the video.
Haha, 1:22 "you can't pay more taxes if you wanted to" In sweden the averege tax is around 32,3%
Fantastic video as always! I think Ductapia could really benefit from some decent public transport underground (if possible with the tunnels lol) so residents can get around much faster than the crazy roads currently allow.
I just had a thought at 19:50 where Matt talks about Architects doing crime, they might be the remnants that wish to overthrow the things that he engineers to preserve their architectural lifestyles
"If I was an Engineer," huh?
I see, I see.
i’m sick and i always look forward to watching you it makes me happy
"We respect trees"
Proceeds to kill a small tree less than 30 seconds later
The obvious solution to the issue is to burn everything and start over again... but even then, architects' souls still haunt the area, meaning the best course of action is to burn it, go elsewhere, and start a new city,

Engineer : we hate architects, we gave them the wrost role in this whole city!
Me as an actuall architect : 😢
(still like your videos btw)
Can engineering fix (x)?
...yes. Yes it can. The answer is always 'yes.'
There is a reason they call it *_ENGINEERING A SOLUTION_* and not 'architecturing' a solution!
Two things I learned to play this game by watching this channel lol! and 2 "That house failed because of architecture" I was dying lol.
You know what would be fun? Run a contest where we make the worst city possible and have matt fix it :)
21:28 architecture spotted !!! That roundabout goes the wrong way around 😂
Who’s for a fun day out at the cemetery followed by a nice stroll along the poo stream. 😂
4:59 “That one [house] actually collapsed because it was designed with architecture” had me rolling😂😂
4:44 RCE is calling out dogs! Paddy wouldn't be happy
Putting a Band-Aid on a poorly designed system, definitely an engineer.
Big fan btw
i really like this video idea. fixing a terrible city but not being allowed to delete stuff kind of working with the bad things
Very cool video, maybe one of my favorite of yours. I was entertained and learned a thing :)
3:19 my toilet after 1 visit at Taco bell
Matt: Trying to avoid trees, because trees have been there longer than we have. So it’s not fair that they get chopped down just because I want my people to have drinking water.
Also Matt: We have a straight line to the sea, which of course we’re allowed to pollute because the de is massive. It will dilute.
Well, the sea is larger than the trees, if there had been a tree the size of the ocean he might've cut a tiny piece of it to make way for the road.
Matt has betrayed us, he has been swayed by the architects
to improve the horrible lifes of citizens from this city? I don't see the problem at all
I just found this channel like 3 days ago and I've been on a (random) binge catching up and This might be my favorite of the 10 or so I've seen so far.
The shoes hanging from the powerlines leaing to a crime town where you can only buy architectural drawings is hilarious.
Intro was a 10/10 real quality 😂
Just like Real Life, we make our own problem from time to time 😂

I discovered your channel this morning and I think I’ve now binge watched at least 20 vids . Think I’ve found my new comfort creator
The "sewers canal"???
Arrest this man
"If I were an engineer"... sounds pretty sus 🤨🤨
Matt, are you sure of who you are?
Matt i love when you actually speak about engineering in details
“So if I were an engineer…” proof that he truly is the real civil architect 0:57
00:07 It's real building. Krzywy domek in Sopot, Poland
A large village of 7 people were able to operate a power plant. Now that's impressive.
6:30 love how his reason for not pumping the ocean is potential poop and not the salt lmao
"There's always going to be gangs of architects." -That one got me belly laughing :D
0:43 uhhh hang on a minute there bud. Something doesnt quite look right about that.
Hrm… maybe you should have your editors create challenge cities in city skylines II for you to fix? Would make a decent series.
Love your content Bro!!!! Keep it coming
0:56 - *So, if I were an engineer....*
Clip it, boys! He admits he's not an engineer!
I was really hoping you're two birds one stone idea was going to be a catapult that launched the dead people away. Very entertaining, very good at getting rid of dead people
make a tax haven in city skylines

"Do as I say, not as I poo" I feel like that is a missed joke 21:55
0:57 "If I were an engineer..."
legit proof he is not an engineer and is indeed an architect.
"I know exactly how big my... my ditch needs to be." Efficiency nearly slipped in there, I think
"Drinking Liquid Poo" sounds like an engineers idea for a punk band name. Matt, are you the lead "singer" of Drinking Liquid Poo?
The chaos of those roads are putting my OCD in overdrive AHHHH lol
It was quite fun watching Matt Explain the actual theory behind the engineering for the drainage
from what i can see, the way Matt see/treat architects is exactly what biologist and conservationists see engineer. Kind of funny in a sad way.
The one person that left at the start stopped paying taxes and it let them save up enough to leave 😂
This is good, Matt. 👏🏼 for a hot minute I thought you we’re going to change into the Real Civil Architect. That would have been a dark day for sure
Electricity is a great way to farm XP;

Why don't you create this as a fix city challenge and share with other youtubers to see how they fix it? 😅😊
I dont know why but that "Ah" when you delete the house at 14:43 has me fkn laughing
Could we get a equilateral triangle city where all roads meet at 60 degree angles? No Roundabouts, no curves, all angles are 60 degrees. Would make for an interesting grid system
Matt:
reduces taxes, "hopefully that will start attracting some population to here..."
the only resident leaves the city instantly....
Build a city only made out of circles.
As an architect student with a minor in civil engineering, this hurt me to see. But I could definitely see an architect doing this if they were to run a city.
Matt: is a real civil engineer
Matt: 16:33
Only a true monster would choose to download large files on mobile data instead of connecting to the modem 5 feet away from u
Your Stream was very nice
i can watch infinite of matts videos without getting bored these are insane
That one person at the beginning could finally afford to move once you lowered the taxes. 😂

Thank you for going into detail on the "getting poo to flow out of town" mechanics
Clearly need an architect to fix that city😂
"I lowered the taxes, and the one person living here left."
Yeah, the guy probably managed to save some money to move out. 😅
That area at 20:00 is bright red because it's all one way out, they can't get in 😂😂😂😂 the police can't drive that way lol
