I like how an Architect has evolved from "someone who prioritizes aesthetics over structural integrity" to "someone who intentionally creates havoc, chaos. and poop lakes"
He's an imagineer. As one myself, who worked for a company literally called The Imagineers, with my job being designing buildings and infrastructure, I look at the work of architects and think... "This can be done better and more efficiently."
@@kikosawa nothing, cuz I didn't get paid to be the architect, only to design their auto-cad drawings in the hopes once they see a virtual tour of their idea they'll go back to the drawing board.🤣
I feel like the devs might consider making it so there are some situations where in a citizen will never be happy. For example, if my house were flooded with pooh.... I would not be happy, regardless of anything else happening in my life.
The roundabout thing at the beginning of the video was so relatable. I live in Sweden with right hand side roads, and there HAS to be an architect that designed a roundabout in a city in Sweden. It IS going counterclockwise and there was traffic light from nowhere, so my mom accidentally drove onto the tramway and had to reverse the car to get out, and she drove against red light because she wasn't prepared for a traffic light in the roundabout (I laughed so hard!)
I feel like this town represents real life fairly well, in many places these days it doesnt matter if an area has a poo river, people need that roof over their house and will pay that rent, in my city new construction went down 80% this year even though the demand is increasing
Day 8 of waiting for Matt to upload Mindustry Part 3. FFOTD: The biggest unit in the game is Toxopid, while the description of it says its only 3.25 blocks by 3.25 blocks, thats actually just the main body of it (its center), but with all of its legs, it becomes 20 by 20 blocks (depends if its moving which might make it longer, but when stationery its 20 by 20).
Spiff: "I'm going to delete all this medium density housing to drive demand to this other location..." Also Spiff: "Why is this other location in such high demand?"
Here's a challange. Using this same map. The engineers move in to save the day and make the city thive. Only catch is you can't demolish or remove anything in this layout.
"Architects don't like straight lines"... i mean have you heard of Mies van der Rohe, Gropius, Peter Zumthor, Frank Lloyd Wright and so on? As an architecture student in my master i really enjoy these videos, but a lot of the stuff Matt usually does in his normal videos is more "architecture" than any part of this video :D
I have been trying pretty hard to get the 25% happiness with over 1000 pop unsuccessfully. Game still needs tuning because its way too easy to make a happy wealthy city even when trying very hard to crush their wealth with taxes and service fees and give just enough services that you can keep population from crashing.
Of all the groups of people to hate, surely there are more deserving than architects, right? I mean, sure, they give 0 consideration to the engineers or builders, or to structural integrity, or to budget, or the environment, or practicality, or to necessity.... Actually, fair enough. Carry on Matt.
People started to leave after their taxes were raised and not after being flooded with shit. So, this is either proof that the game simulation is broken or proof that this is the most accurate game ever made.
Maybe the reason there weren't many people is because there's not many achitects and the reason why you were "losing" pops is because you were converting them to become an engineer.
i would want to live in a city that you built, you somehow manage to build cities that look unstable as shit and yet manage to make them structurally stable
Nah. Nepolion or something like that was left handed so changed it so he could use his sword on the road. Everyone else just realised it was absolute rubbish. Most of the world is right handed & while we dot use swords, there is other stuff
So the "High Rent" aspect doesnt mean that its desirable, well it does in a standard game, but in a game like you have created its not quite the same. Each style of home has a base amount of rent it costs, lets say $100/hr for the low density homes, you throw in the polluted air/water the water damage and everything else, you've created a situation where people were too unhealthy to work so they couldnt afford the $100/hr. So its not that the homes were desirable, its that they couldnt afford the base cost of the homes. As per the architect thing, architects, while they may not know how things work in real life, would actually have one of the most visually appealing cities ever, nevermind that it wouldnt have garbage service, or sewage services and that everything would be single family homes with low rise commercial buildings there would be zero cars parked on the road, but no parking areas either. What you did was channel your inner chaos demon and just called it an "architect"
why does Matt know so much about architecture? because he had to deal with it all those years being an RCE of course. For those of you who thought he was an architect once and that's why he knows: shame on you, shame, shame, shame, shame
@@BebbaDubbs but I’m not what? A San Francisco resident? I’ve lived here my whole life and watched San Francisco transform from a truly amazing city into the absolute slum that it is today.
Day 1 of asking Matt to play ETS2 (Euro Truck Sim 2) Why? It has All of U.K INCLUDING Cardiff without any D.L.C! Maybe you can go through those highways and see if they're just like IRL!
Hello. I see alot of jokes about architects and as someone who aspires to be an architect what are some things i need to remember to be good at it? I honestly dont really know what im asking. ive only just graduated highschool so i havent even started on further schooling but i want to know what would make me a good architect? (Perferably one engineers wont make fun of lol)
If you'd made this on a set of islands (which would be aesthetically pleasing and probably inefficient) you could have called it Archi-hell-igo
G E N I U S
Artificial islands in a poo sea: Archi-pooie-gos
GET OUT
It would have required bridges though, and as we all know Architects not only don't deserve bridges, but they don't know how to even use them!
Nice
I like how an Architect has evolved from "someone who prioritizes aesthetics over structural integrity" to "someone who intentionally creates havoc, chaos. and poop lakes"
So, RCE, ironically enough. Lol.
What happened if let's play it out and RCE soul and memory swapped?
30 seconds in, and Matt is already giving an excuse to indulge his inner Architect.
Bruh
😂
Matts true identity has taken control
Blasphemy
He invented Poo York.
It's amazing how realistic you made San Francisco. The micro-grid looks just like Daly City South of SF.
Definitely need a tunnel City, no roads on the surface except absolutely needed
Thing is he needs roads to zone and build stuff, so it could just be blocks of housing/commercial/industry but connected only by tunnels
"I really don't understand the high rent."
Wow this game really is realistic!
Matt is slowly becoming an architect. First stopping the architects from drowning in poo, now this.
He's an imagineer. As one myself, who worked for a company literally called The Imagineers, with my job being designing buildings and infrastructure, I look at the work of architects and think... "This can be done better and more efficiently."
@@lookdawg187what happened next?

@@lookdawg187 heh, architects right? ☕
We definitely need a series where you actually teach us about engineering. Like what actually goes into building these things.
I believe he said he already does, for his patrons.
Seconded!
We need to do a daily thing for this if we can
In his late videos, there are a lot of videos where he tell/teach us about road engineering
Deciding to build the worst city possible and picking San Francisco is hilariously perfect
the irony is that he made it better, not worse
The realism of poo in the streets
As a resident of San Francisco, I can confirm that it is indeed that bad.
Was RCE based the entire time
I feel like the devs might consider making it so there are some situations where in a citizen will never be happy. For example, if my house were flooded with pooh.... I would not be happy, regardless of anything else happening in my life.
"In this city you're not gonna get neighbors"
sounds like an amazing place to live if he just stopped there
I found it incredibly hilarious that despite his best efforts, being an architect was bringing in money and making people happy.
"High rent" They are complaining that the rent is too high, for a flat in the middle of a seas of garbage..
Yeah, because it should cost 12 yen/month at this point
the rent required for it to be financially viable is higher than what people are willing to pay for living in a landfill crossed with a parking lot
The roundabout thing at the beginning of the video was so relatable. I live in Sweden with right hand side roads, and there HAS to be an architect that designed a roundabout in a city in Sweden.

I live in australia and haven't seen a roundabout like this but we also drive on the left my brain melted and I had to take a 5 minute break hahaha
Starting the worst city in the San Francisco map is the most lore accurate thing I have ever seen on this channel.
As an architect, I find these videos hilarious!
Boooooooo
Day 6 of asking you to play spore
Cope, you non-human. Who helped you write this comment? I know you lot are illiterate!

Shame.
As a biologist (neither engineer or architect) this city made me very sad. I'm declaring architect nemeses of Biology now.

Day 14 of asking Matt to simulate North korea in city skylines 2
like my other comment so that Matt can see pls
@@Enkeksinimee1 yoo immediately
I think the biggest hit-box is for de Omura o the t5 support ship (can't remember its name)
if you wanted to create the worst city full of poo you could've just made a realistic san francisco
If Matt was an architect, he wouldn't be worried about services. Matt just showcased a city with badly engineered services
I always ask how Matt knows how to do everything as an Architect would, I still think he is secretly one and just doesn't tell us.
He's a civil engineer, so maybe he's had to work with a few architects.
I think this would worked better if the city was made really well, loads of people moved in, then he...made a change of management.
Matt is trying his best to recreate London and the good old days of cholera riddled water due to sewage
1:54 Roundabouts rock and we need more of them!
This is fitting... San Fransisco, IRL, is a crime-ridden hellscape, complete with poo everywhere. So you're basically just imitating real life.
lol, SF IS a living hell. You def picked the right city 👍🏼
yay , one more cities skyline 2 series. they are the best
Matt is such a good engineer, that even when he try's to be an architect the town still works.
Kind of
Spiff: "I'm going to delete all this medium density housing to drive demand to this other location..."
Also Spiff: "Why is this other location in such high demand?"
Seeing new icons? Whodve thought that RCE could learn by thinking like an architect
Just to clarify, roundabouts in the US also go counter clockwise... I mean, we may laugh at the metric system but we aren't completely foolish.
Me on my way to comment this exact thing 😂
Me on my way to comment this exact thing 😂
In UK they go clockwise
I understand this, but we drive on the opposite side, so counterclockwise makes sense. See also, "same, same, but different ".
You should add this to your realistic series. This is a pretty accurate representation of San Francisco...😂
Accurate portrayal of actual San Francisco.
"You're getting what you wanted, but not quite what you wanted"
In this episode, Matt becomes a Jinn
Matt is starting to understand property values in San Francisco.
Here's a challange. Using this same map. The engineers move in to save the day and make the city thive. Only catch is you can't demolish or remove anything in this layout.
"Architects don't like straight lines"... i mean have you heard of Mies van der Rohe, Gropius, Peter Zumthor, Frank Lloyd Wright and so on?
As an architecture student in my master i really enjoy these videos, but a lot of the stuff Matt usually does in his normal videos is more "architecture" than any part of this video :D
I think he meant "useful straight lines", as those folks love pointless straight lines.
As an engineer, he probably hasn’t heard of them.
He has just seen their “designs”.
I feel him on this
I have been trying pretty hard to get the 25% happiness with over 1000 pop unsuccessfully.

13:21 describes some of the issues with this game so perfectly
To make this work you could make a good city, then cut off the roads so people can't leave, then make it terrable.
As a Californian San Francisco was the perfect place to pick
People started to leave after their taxes were raised and not after being flooded with shit. So, this is either proof that the game simulation is broken or proof that this is the most accurate game ever made.
So I know I shouldn't but I gotta... "Without a single degree, they gave us roads that lasted centuries, and then the Engineers came!"
This is exactly what REC doing all the time in all the game, architect behavior..... Stop hiding yourself, you're bloody architect!
Hes a sellout!!!
Engineering got too tedious, now he sits in a room and just designs things...
He has become the enemy, he is one... An Architect.
It's kinda getting let's game it out vibes
Calling it San Fransisco is the most fitting name.
Matt sure knows an awful a lot about being an architect for someone that isn't an architect.
As a architecture student I can say the most effective hospital is one built on a dirt road really far away 😂
Hell with bridges? It exists, new york city.
Matt builds city designed by architects
creates San Francisco
nice
Maybe the reason there weren't many people is because there's not many achitects and the reason why you were "losing" pops is because you were converting them to become an engineer.
So you turned into let’s game it out
Should of named it Architopian. Like Distopian because we all know architects are not living in an Utopia.
The lefthand driving was invented by an architect, the correct is the right hand driving
Bro straight up just played Flint Michigan simulator
Matt successfully builds real world San Fransisco using the same thought process as the government
i would want to live in a city that you built, you somehow manage to build cities that look unstable as shit and yet manage to make them structurally stable
Roundabouts are great as long as you don't drive
0:45 Left-hand traffic is more confusing, as most of the world uses right-hand traffic, including the US, China, and most of Europe.
Also the left side is the wrong side for (like 80% of the world)
Nah. Nepolion or something like that was left handed so changed it so he could use his sword on the road. Everyone else just realised it was absolute rubbish. Most of the world is right handed & while we dot use swords, there is other stuff
Two minutes into this video and I realize this is Matt's villain origin story.
This is a city Let’sGameItOut would be proud of.

Left drive of because we are architects... Thin ice bro. Thin ice 😉
Poo flowing on the street and homeless? I think he is building the real life San Francisco
Edit: high rent and excessive tax? Sounds about right
Being from America, I can tell you. You will never go into a roundabout and turn left.
1:48 we have roundabouts like that in The Netherlands. They have traffic-lights, because they are huge. It just makes sense from a safety pov.
no no, youre correct, san Francisco is definitely hell.
why does Matt know so much about architecture?
because he had to deal with it all those years being an RCE of course.
For those of you who thought he was an architect once and that's why he knows: shame on you, shame, shame, shame, shame

You need to get off the internet for a bit
@@slavplaysgames why because of the shame shame……
my i ask what ou mean by that?@@sarm-vr6vf
Matt: in england we do cirved roads to prevent people from getting bored
Also Matt:
Actually selecting San Francisco as a worst case scenario city is appropriate with the current administration
As an amateur race-car driver, that first road, with the continuous curves, looks genuinely fun to drive on
Well SF is hell so you're not far off.
I hate architects even more after watching this video,I didn’t know they stranded dogs!
You should build a place for the engineers in this city
Architopia vs Engitopia:
Engitopia:
Bridges
Poop dams
Sky cities
Efficient road designs
Imprisoned architects
Architopia:
Bad road designs for art
Pollution
Just a huge fan of this channel started playing this just because of this channel
"Surface poo"... Sounds like something Micro$oft would sell. 😀
Most accurate representation of the UK that I have seen. Well done RCE!!
At this rate TH-cam is going to suggest a bunch of videos to me about excrement.
Honestly though, don't engineers love architects? With without them what challenges would engineers have to overcome?
This place you built is probably actually nicer then the real San Francisco lol

Start a "Day 1 of asking Matt to play Factorio"
Now that I saw this video, I'm intrested to see what the city should look like to have the most unhappy people/face in the happymeter
Even on the second to last face, people were leaving, so there'd have to be an enormous surplus of people before things get ruined.
you had me at the clockwise roundabout. oof.
Can't be too bad if you're driving your car on the proper side of the road.
Matt is secretly telling us what we already know, hes actually an architect
Man I can't wait for Matt to go to Sheffield and realise that EVERY DAMN ROUNDABOUT HAS TRAFFIC LIGHTS NOW for some reason.
Creating a Whittier, Alaska inspired town with everyone living in one building would be fun
I felt like this needed a big name movie soundtrack song, like "Ride in to the Pooger zone", with fast aeroplanes and everyfing. Top Gun mate, FANKS!

If I was an architect I would like to see one of those sewage drains above each home, constantly raining down all the poo onto the roof.
7:47 in the game "Afterlife" that is literally how you build Hell to make it the most efficient. Only the grids are 3x3 instead of 2x2
The drinking water system you made halfway in the video is like a large scale version of the human centipede.
