Hi, RCE. If you have mentioned Biffa, maybe you could have a collab with his “Fix my city” series? You can send him Engitopia with all its problems to fix them, that will be great
Looking at a picture of the Oxagon, it doesn't look THAT bad - a little ridiculous when you could just build wider along the same coastline, but it's not completely crazy. No, the crazy bit is when they decided that all of the stuff on the "water" side of the city would be floating. That's... what?
I know this channel is supposed to be weird and goofy but one time I would like to see Matt build stuff like a separate city fully as efficient as he can for real

I'd be VERY surprised if "The Line" in SA is ever built to look remotely like the architectural designs, it's probably going to end up being a line of independent skyscrapers in the middle of nowhere where no one will end up living because they forgot that they were building it in the middle of a desert with no water source and need to build enormous de-salination plants to support the ultra rich residents. At the VERY least, they're never going to have a hyperloop (because it's a non-functional design disproven 100+ years ago), or flying cars. At best, they'll have a monorail lol.

as someone who drives stonehenge a303 A LOT as i live nearby, that roundabout isnt the problem, its the fact you have a dual carriageway merging down to 1 lane just before one of the most viewed things in the area and you get people slowing down to just stare at it causing traffic to back up alllll the way back to the roundabout, if that dual carriage way carried on all the way to the next roundabout there'd be zero issues but for some reason they thought a tunnel would be better and of course this pissed off the hippies
In real life, it's not all going to be level with the water it will be raised up or slightly graded to have an incline with drainage that either runs into the water slightly above water level or to storm drains deverting water somewhere else but realistically probably both type of drainage systems will be used to prevent flooding in heavy rains. Great video. You need boat rides down poop mountain lol
I know it's an older video... but in regards to the flaw of the clover leaf highway... recently a major section of main road and highway near me was changed. They went from the standard clover leaf to a helix. The main road crosses traffic, so at one point the west bound traffic is on the side the east bound usually is on then crosses back. This allows the on and off ramps of the highway to flow into the main road more efficiently and it also cuts the congestion of oncoming traffic having to cross, on the highway, the traffic trying to exit to the main road. It's cut down on congestion by a massive margin so it might be something to look into for the future.
Hey RCE here is a city skylines thing to test. Use the canal tool in the landscape section to make a trench under the ocean. Then place water pumps on the canal. Theory is they work even completely submerged
@@RealCivilEngineerGaming Honestly you can say both opinions are correct. The main two on the NEOM project website seem to show hexagons while the more technical drawings show octagons. Both types were shown in your video.
@@Bu11etSp0ng3 Nope, I really think you need to take a closer look lol. Every image on the official site (and everywhere else I've seen) has 8 sides- look carefully!
Day 179:Dear Matt, I have a very good video idea Gather all your editors and make them all have a fight on like a PvP game (e.g. Minecraft,Rust,Ect,ect...) And see who is the best editor and is worthy of the rank of a classified engineering. From me.
When I say that I screamed and chucked my phone when Engitopia disappeared and was replaced with google maps showing the roundabout next to my house 😂😮 I had no idea you worked on the A303 problem section, so for a minute before you were explaining, it was just a jumpscare. At least now I know who to blame next time I go a mile on the A303 to see my friend and it takes me 45 minutes 😡
About that highway/roundabout/futureproofing, here in Canada rather than having the faster moving multi-lane highway being built to go over it's instead the roads crossing that go over. Building for less lanes and slower moving traffic is a lot cheaper than doing it the other way around...
I live 5 mins from stonehenge.. the tunnel I believe has now been dropped .because they believed it would cause damage to the stones or something I can't remember.. but the a303 is the worst road to drive down its always full of traffic as they slow down to look at the stones causing tall backs all the way from the a360.. I've nearly been knocked off my bike 5 times from people cutting across the roundabout to get 3 cars ahead its so bad
But weres the fun in that oneday engitopia will be prosperous with all these builds that he is doing that 1 million debt could become a 1 million positieve
Under the poop pool, you could have turned it into a water fall and had like a lake form at the bottom that would flow into a river meeting with the sea.
Considering the impressive improvement in the quality of Matt's poop chute design, he definitely needs to redo that new cloverleaf. On a related note, I hope Matt names the highway going by the new poop chute Proctology Way... it only seems appropriate. 😁
I'm sorry, but did I just see... architecture? The Oxagon is far too aesthetically pleasing to be engineering... But all jokes aside, I love these daily uploads. Keep the hard work up.
RCE really exists to torture test all of these architectural dreams with all of the destructive power of a civil engineer, which is quite considerable. He is the engineer to pay to find all the problems with your model so you can fix them 😂
Little do we know, Mat secretly works for the Saudi government and this is him just testing out his ideas before they go through. Engitopia is the future of Saudi Arabia

just 'cuz you can, doesn't mean you should ;) words to live by
Well they saving space. In the middle of nowhere. By turning city in one gigant commie block.
Exactly, what's the point of making it float just sounds like it's going to be a pain in the ass. Especially when you can just put land there
It's all for the gimmick of it, to get people talking about it. same with the line. anyone with a brain can see how inefficient it is
Dooftopia doesn't sound too crazy then. And he just had a lot of felt.
I feel like Engitopia needs better public transport to connect the various cities to each other
I know this channel is supposed to be weird and goofy but one time I would like to see Matt build stuff like a separate city fully as efficient as he can for real
Im slowly getting the feeling that matt slowly becomes an architect because he comes up with ideas that only an architect would come up.

Yes. Seas have edges just as oceans do, but oceans have much larger borders than seas because a sea is a smaller inland ocean.
Learning about your job always fascinates me
Since the lake only has a way for water to get in, it will eventually overfill. He needs to make a drain to the edge of the map.
Technically, all seas and oceans have edges. The water has to stop somewhere, besides a river or other water pathway.
