I truly love that the circle buildings which are meant to be skyscrapers from above, you call IMAX cinemas. And now when I watched another video of someone saying skyscraper, I was like? What?????? You mean the IMAX cinema????
This isn’t a road game, it is a development control game. Don’t block all development, just guide it. I think you should place roundabouts as soon as you get them. They do nothing while in storage and don’t help with emergency fixes due to their size requirements. Put them down as soon as you get them at potential choke points and they block development. Also run parallel roads next to each other instead of one apart so houses can’t spawn between. Make fake roundabouts using 3x3 road squares so once you get roundabouts they can fill in these spots. In the beginning congestion is ok from odd road configurations if it reduces congestion latter in the game by making it easier to build. I would call these future corridors using road bits. Road bits do nothing while in storage. So lay them out. Tear them up only when required to. Don’t hook up every house but do keep escape passages clear using road bits. Running roads along the side of rivers early on helps block development that can block bridges. And as you know, the more bridges the better! :-)
I fucking love the roundabouts but I am curious- Are there situations in which I should use the traffic lights? I have definitely been underutilizing them but I don't know when to use them and I don't want to have a situation that 'could have been made better if I didn't use them at all'
@@PierceCarrell yup once there's an intersection the cars will slow down regardless, so adding the traffic lights eliminates the slowing down when they have the green light
@@LindzieBurns Generally traffic lights are good for the really awful crossroads you already have and cant really fix, basically if traffic slows down to a stop almost anyway traffic light will at least make it smoother.
@@nicestpancake Unless you have a crossroad where every car is slowing down, there really is no use for them. In fact, if you don’t have that specific scenario (granted, a common one.) I would go as far as to say that they’re harmful.
Wellll... assuming they have the dexterity, an engineer's reasoning skills might help them keep from getting stuck as much on how to proceed. Now we must only... test this hypothesis. BWAHAHAHAHAHahahahaha.a.aha.ha....hhhhhhh.
@@bryancurdi451 tbf while that one isn't that bad as it is litterally the very start of the game, all throughout the videos he does tons and tons of 4+ way intersections where he could easily avoid it

Quick tip. Each business has a one tile ring all the way around it that is a no build zone (for houses as well as businesses) so no need to block anything within a tile of a business. It's also handy for leaving one space for an emergency road if you need it. Every so often that buffer rule gets broken. A bug I'm guessing, not much you can do about it.
Im in great idea Trust me im an engineer! With epic skill and epic gear, trust me im an engineer! Oh shiet what happend here, Trust me im and engenieer! I think im outta here
You know what this game needs? Overpasses A way to have a road go over another road. Technically you can do that with the motorways, but no one would spend a motorway on that
I can't tell you how much I enjoy watching evrey single one of your videos, sometimes more than once. I love this game and I love watching you play it! Also I'm going through a large transition in my life, so watching your videos is seriously helping my anxiety, your helping someone through a really hard time. Thank you❤️
The house owner: What have you done to my home?! Real civil engineer: It's to reduce traffic The house owner: But , my house! Real civil engineer: You'll have to sacrifice a couple of inches of your lawn The house owner: Ahh! Screw it , I'm leaving! Real civil engineer: It was my plan all along!
These videos are SO satisfying. Tip: if you pay attention to the angle of your junctions, you can prevent the cars from slowing down when they get to them!
2:55 Sweet breads are made with all kinds of fruit flavor, including orange. I don't see why you'd think that wouldn't taste good (unless you don't like orange I guess).
The map will expand quickly when you prevent space for a "Stops" to spawn. This leads to moments when you missed a newly widened area and it left enough space for a new "Stop" and you don't have enough roads to get the houses connected. So at least plan the locations you want the "Stops" to spawn by leaving the space for them to do so.
In the beginning, in that 4-way junction, the cars slow down regardless of the traffic. If one maximizes the number of 3-way junctions in order to minimize the 4-way intersections probably survives a bit longer In the late game. Love the content of this channel.
@@highpath4776 no it works this way mall spawns a shopping thing, and then the closest house that is connected and has car in garage sends a car... But if you have traffic and whatnot closest one might be all the way on the other side of the map
10:10 The story Matt is referencing isn't from a Chinese airport but rather a Japanese airport. It's called the Sanrizuka Struggle; in 1971 the Japanese government built the Tokyo Narita airport on top of existing village farmland and the land-seizure was protested by the Japanese Communist and Japanese Social Democratic parties. Five houses still exist on top of/within the airport to this day, and one still actually farms the land.
One thing I've noticed while playing is that all cars slow down when approaching an intersection, even if they're the only car approaching it. Reducing the number of intersections can help boost your score.
Nice playing.... your layout was better than your final score. The crucial mistake was not immediately injecting the new white mall with a motorway since it was already going critical once you realized you'd forgotten it. I'm picking up a lot watching you play.
I've had orange cranberry bread. It's pretty good. I imagine orange bread without the cranberries would be alright. Perhaps toasted with some butter and marmalade. Really orange it up. The orange cranberry bread was one of the mixes my mom got with a bread maker twenty years ago. We hardly ever used the bread maker, but when we did, it was great.
16:30 there were literally 10 white houses only 5 blocks down from the white market on the left with a timer that the cars were going around a long way, all you needed was a short straight road and they would have taken the quicker path.
Pro tips don't just separate colors but make sure that each house can only potential go to one supermarket also only spawn block the areas right next to your roads so you aren't forced to move any roads because supermarkets spawn next to them
It’s funny you talk about orange bread. I’m my culture, we do something similar. I’m Mexican so we get bolillo (it’s a type of bread) and take out the center and fill it with CocaCola
i love the description of colours, old mouldy ham in the back of the fridge is still my favourite, but fanta bread is a close second
Ham is definitely the best.
i love fanta and that bread so maybe i'll try to make a fanta bread mug some day lol. how bad could it beeeee~
Old mouldy ham is an odd favourite to have. Sounds risky.

Hey Matt - All shops have to spawn with a 1 square boarder around them, thus allowing so they can have a full use of road access... hope that helps
Do roads block that 1 tile border or are they included in the 1 tile border?
@@vbgvbg1133 I'm not 100%, but it will not spawn with a house on its border

hey Matt, FYI when you use roads on the diagonals such as at 10:30 it only takes as many road tiles as it does to go straight across

A nice way to manipulate spawning using Road is to use single road tiles. Since they take up two spaces and adding onto the roads only adds one space.
