I mean, The Line screams dystopian nightmare to me, personally. But, the engineering behind it is certainly very interesting. Yours looks nice though. Very well done (:
Well first and foremost it's just dumb. There's a reason why cities aren't shaped like that. The shape is also unsustainable unless you ban any settlement in close proximity of the Line
That's because The Line is a dystopian nightmare. It is created by the architectural vomit of a stoned saudi oil baron looking for ways to flex his wealth while maintaining control over his nation's population.
@@xGOKOPx no one is settling near the line. It's being built in a feckin environmental dead zone. It's a desert. And no one will live in it unless they are forced to.
Yeah, especially if something would go wrong. This city is so technology dependent AND isolated in the middle of a dessert... Imagine power shortage in this situation.
Honestly, the engineers working on the actual line project should just make a open source game where people can build and maintain their own experimental line projects. That way the engineers could get tonnes of data and ideas from gamers for how to build the thing in real life.
Would be really awesome. You are pushing toward the harbor at the end of the city but in the process you have to pass the military base. Would explain the progression of difficulty.
Maybe eventually, you will. Though the terraforming here has probably opened up a fair bit itself. It will be interesting to see what RCE does with this update. I expect much frustration, especially if it comes into the current season of Timberborners. Could very well spell doom for it.

"The Line" is one of the most hilariously comic book supervillain evil things I've ever heard of. It's literally a human ant farm they can watch the plebs struggle to survive in.
I know right? It sounds like an absolutely INSANE megaproject planned for the DESERT, in a place that can probably barely afford to make something a hundredth the size, nevermind the full length. When the saner people in the USA balked at the plan to build a far smaller wall along its border.
@@pinstripe4254 If that was really what they really wanted it'd be a circle instead of a line, with everything the same distance from the center, no buildings over three stories, and a ring of farmland all around it to supply them.
@@KomboEzaliTe why would there be no buildings over three stories? That limits the space one would be able to put people into. Also if it were a circle travel and resource management would be much harder than in the line. To be honest I’m not a civil engineer so really what do I know?
I haven't played with the golems and dirt making yet. I don't think you can, but it would be cool if you could put dirt on the metal platforms. You could build layered farms that way.
Can this be the official game tutorial please? I wasn't expecting such and in depth and fun documentary on the game mechanics and updates. That was a really good video RCE. And devs, you've made a hell of a game. Kudos.
OOOOOOOOH. The big platforms allow you to build above non-solid objects. So you can build until just below the platform height, place the non-solid buildings, the plop the platform down instead of building right on top of it like previous floors. To quote a wise man, "It'll give us so much extra space in our room to do activities."
2:27 Thanks @RCE for making the center line straighter, we all thank ya... I have a feeling that this will be your finest city/construction ever build😄 Edit. WOW thanks I think that is my first
I like the concept of the line in this game, but I would like to see it in a larger scale and more filled out. Meaning a larger deeper river and more inside to build on, also thicker walls for more trees and also to use the water ways up top for leisure.
Hey RCE, what are your thoughts on the giant ring building architects came up with in Dubai. It’s the line but with even less thought and more architecture, think you’ll love it.
Me: "Alright, a new RCE video, let's see what kind of science he can teach me today!" RCE: "This. Is a Beaver." Me: "Hang on, you're going to fast, slow down."
There's a cool channel on TH-cam that removes beaver dams from culverts under roads to prevent flooding called post 10. It's really cool honestly. In some of them you can see the stuff they make it out of and just how advanced they are at building them
um..he does a lot more than remove beaver dams. Most of his removals are because of poorly designed culverts and water diversions, not beavers. He tends to hit a lot of the same areas year after year, especially in the fall/spring, because they're poorly designed.
Now we need a beavermole settlement underground. Or beaverdwarfs in a mountain , MAKE IT HAPPEN ! :) Awsome content as usual btw , thanks for inspiring us to build greater things :)
the injury mechanic is nearly a universally hated addition to the game, suddenly they are getting sick and injured constantly, with loggers chipping their teeth every other second. They created a problem and a solution to that problem they created for no reason. It has made a hard game, harder.

Play Space Engineers, build to survive the Ravagers.

Watch Captain Jack's youtube channel for examples of what can be built. SE Water physics is workable in the moded version and in development for the next instalment of the game. So, Space Engineers 2 will have water physics, sand grains, wind, volcanos, and everything Space Engineers 1 has.
I take one look at "The Line" and the thing that stands out to me the most its the mirrored walls, won't they just reflect sunlight into the already barren desert and increase the ambient temperature around the entire structure?
When the real line is abandoned less than half way finished , it will fill with sand and become another sand dune. Even if it ever Really got built , it would still fill with sand as they clearly show the top open... awesome work architects.
Oooo I'm happy I took a break from the game just before the update. I didn't want to burn myself out on the game in general before the new stuff came out but also didn't want to confuse myself with the changed gameplay. I didn't know when it would be but apparently it's now!
i kinda wanna see them add a move terrain feature. like an evolution of the dynamite. letting you move the blocks you remove to somewhere else and letting you adjust any map over time. the limiting factor being how fast you can make the modules used to move them. edit: i should really wait to finish the video lol
ah the line... one of the dumbest solutions to need off space (IN THE MIDDLE OFF THE OPEN EMPTY DESSERT). Just thinking about the absurd logistics that is needed to even make it operational makes me want to flip a table
You keep re-creating The Line, something you openly know was designed by architects, in different games. First Cities: Skylines, and now Timberborn. It seems kinda weird for an Engineer to do such a thing. Combined with your behavior in previous videos, I'm starting to think you're maybe an architect.
man, sometimes I ..don't know, like actually hate how out of touch with video's vibe the music in RCE's videos is. this one is outstanding example of it. either that or I'm becoming hyperpicky when it's late just can't get rid of the feeling that this background music is out of place
When I first heard about The Line I assumed they meant it was going to just be a series of mass transit stops where a small town would grow up, and then along the way people would naturally settle because services are available because they can branch off the main trunk. You know, something that might actually happen in the real world. That animation was batshit insane. Lovely.
I'm pretty sure the presentation is an optics stunt, no way theyre even gonna attempt to follow through. I saw someone mention downtown circle in dubai, which is somehow even less realistic than the line, i would assume that's the same.
The Line is hilarious. It would also turn into a mass death event so, so easily if the water supply were disrupted, etc. I wouldn't live there if you paid me; I'd take the money and move out ASAP.
Most people: liking the video because they thought it was good Me: liking the video before I watch it because it’s one of RCEs timberborn videos so I know it’ll be great.

Sorry RCE, I have bad news, I found this in the patch notes: An animation of a beaver sleeping or resting is no longer PEGI-18 while the game is sped up 🤣
When you realize The Line for beavers would just be another river in a ravine or canyon lol
so basicly beavers making a dam in the grand canyon
And then flooding it with beaver and beaver infrastructure, but also at the bottom river and farmland
In fairness, actual human settlements DO in fact follow the "line" idea. As long as said idea is, you know, along the natural line known as a river.

I rather like that! Aerospace engineers should do the same thing with space habitat simulations.
As long as it is as accurate as possible as a simulation it would be perfect
I don't think that many beavers would want to move to Saudi f***ing Arabia irl, though!
Yeah, all the ways to fail.
That's a good idea actually
Post apocalyptic survival game set in the ruins of the line would be dope.
Or a movie. Could still be called bullet train too

You could call it Spec Ops: The Line. Wait, that game is set in Dubai.

I wonder when the devs will add the ability to power the log pumps with shaming wheels
All they would need to add is a pump that is ALSO a water storage and requires no beaver. But DOES require power.
But then the beavers wouldn't be able to pump their logs, what would their joy in life be, if they cant even do that?
@@DarvakSondrath You can still have normal ones too. Its just that they are reserved for the good beavers.
