LAST DAY to get the Engineering Beaver plush: www.makeship.com/products/engineering-beaver-plush Don't miss out!

"Why did an earthquake create a tsunami?" ... I think Matt needs to research tsunamis a bit more.

Literally the first time I’ve seen Matt play a normal game of cities skylines 😂🙈

Engineer: damn architects always making bad decisions The geologist in the audience looking at the engineer walling up the river side and being confused why the water is so fast: :|

nice to meet you. I am Japanese. (using google translate) I was just doing the 1 tile challenge too. Vanilla Two Rivers. With a population of 50,000 and a traffic volume of 85%, we challenged ourselves with only two-lane roads and highway ramps. The population has safely reached 55,000 and the average traffic volume is around 90%. The first thing to do is to measure the corners of the map, which is the same as me, and I enjoyed watching it.

I want to offer you a challenge for the maximum number of people in one square without mods in Cities skylines. Apparently, at the moment the blogger has a record: "Peptar" with approximately 74k population, but he still has part of the river on the map, "unique buildings" are not used (I can be mistaken in the name, I mean buildings from the list in which there is a space elevator and something similar), he didn’t even remove the interchanges underground, not to mention the crossroads of the highways, and didn’t narrow all the roads, and I’m sure that you will probably still have a bunch of people to raise far beyond 100,000, and show all your skills! I would love to see what happens with your serious approach

I like how surprised Matt is that it's super successful when he doesn't build a multi-billion dollar bridge for the lulz

Designing a city with just one tile with a river dividing said tile, is pretty much the backstory of Washington, DC! The area given to District of Columbia was originally a diamond ceded by the states of Maryland and Virginia in accordance with the Residence Act adopted in July 1790. DC was designed by Parisian Pierre Charles L'Enfant, and was based on European models translated to American ideals. The entire city was built around the idea that every citizen was equally important, with a street grid system and wide diagonal avenues named after states radiating from the Capitol! The National Mall was designed as open to all comers, which would have been unheard of in his native France. L'Enfant placed Congress on a high point with a commanding view of the Potomac rather than a leader's palace on a hill like in Europe. However, the Virginian side returned to Virginia in 1847. This is because of several factors. Alexandria went into economic decline because of neglect by Congress as members from other parts of Virginia fought to prohibit funding for Alexandria projects in favor of projects in their home districts. Legislation required that no Federal buildings be built on the formerly Virginia side of the District (part of the compromise that created the Capitol), so it gained nothing in government workers or buildings. But the main factor was legislation was in the works to outlaw slave trading within DC, and slave auctions were some of Alexandria’s biggest businesses.

The flow of water increased because of Bernoulli's principle, you reduced the width of the river by adding those barriers on the ends! And the hole in the building is not just architecture, it's useful for dealing with wind and important to feng shui! Feng shui is an ancient Chinese traditional practice which claims to use energy forces to harmonize individuals with their surrounding environment. The term feng shui means, literally, "wind-water". From ancient times, landscapes and bodies of water were thought to direct the flow of the universal Qi through places and structures. In Hong Kong, feng shui helped influence the skyline. The skyline is pierced by gaping voids called dragon gates. Such dragon gates are designed to let these mythical flying beasts pass from their hilltop homes down to the water each day and then return again each night. The sharp-edged Bank of China Tower by IM Pei was broadly criticized for not using feng shui as feng shui experts saw the angular shape as “cutting” the good fortune of adjacent buildings. The skyscraper’s poor feng shui has since been blamed for adjacent companies going out of business and other mishaps. To combat this bad luck, the neighboring HSBC Building built cannon-like maintenance cranes as negative energy deflectors.

What a great idea for a challenge! Will be interested to see if you beat my record for population in One Tile! 😮👍😁

Rce MATT when playing other games :- Sensible gameplay as the game intends, some strongest shape references, some bits and bobs , crazy intro songs Meanwhile in a game of pure engineering , Cities skyline :- So lets experiment with all these architectural ideas

The building with the hole survived the tsunami because it has a hole that lets water through, something which an engineer like Matt probably would design for a tsunami-prone area

The first time he builds a city with the grid, it is a absolute success.

These are actually my favorite RCE videos, where I learn some things, he seems happy and not too chaotic, and I can enjoy watching him struggle

Now that Matt is back on the path of engineering and torturing himself via challenges, we can remove the possibility that he is an architect from the equation.

I'm pretty sure the reason it keeps creating bridges is because of the road building mode. It's been a while, but I think if you switch the mode from that little circle icon to the down arrow, it will force the road to be on the ground if possible.

Matt: I want the highway as an artillery. The military: Genius! Tarmac-based offensive weapons! Matt: Wait, what? Oh...Arterial.

Now keep this series going and buy another tile and do the same thing and see how many tiles you can fully fill!

I love the fact that playing the game normally (at the end of the games life essentially) is like a new idea for you 😂

That square city is Washington DC, impressive. (I hope the US government would approve the full square city between Maryland and Virginia)

I like how he basically created Washington, D.C., complete with river 😂

The only engineer whos making strong shapes in a city game😂 Edit thanks for the likes😊

I was actually hoping he would expand it into a series where he plays the game properly by buying land parcels and creates the biggest city. Engitopia can burn, it was illogical and to focused on the same things. I hope @RealCivilEngineer sees this, if so, Then hello my trussy engineer!

You should do a mega city for the channel. Make a series out of it. This was really cool to watch.

19:58 POV: London during the industrial revolution 😂

Absolutely loving the city! Can't wait for what you do with c:s 2

You can force the game to place roads on the ground instead of bridges with the road anarchy. In the menu that says "Elevation Step:" you need to press that arrow pointing down and it will always be on the ground

far out bro I stopped watching you what feels like maybe only maybe 6 months ago? life and stuff, but far out seeing you at almost 2 mill does bring a smile to my face good for you man keep it up g

I'm shocked that you made a perfect representation of Tampa, Florida without ever haven been here. The random flooding is what seals the deal lol.

Manhattan in a nutshell

Not gonna lie.. seeing the tiny bridge at 6:33 I was dissapointed there was no bridge review... Its okay Tiny pointless bridge.. I still love you. You get a 9.5/10 in my heart.

i haven't watched city skylines videos in quite some time and you got me hooked again

In the Anarchy Mod Menu on the top right you can choose between ground, elevated but with dirt underneath, bridge and tunnel. The circle is vanilla mode so the Game chooses for you and sometimes it doesnt understand the Terrain that well

0:45 Highways make for great artillery. Highways were Napoléon's forte, especially when considering his focus on maneuverability.

i live in a grid neighborhood, and i have lived in non- grid neighborhoods. and the grid is amazing. getting around is easy because you can just go wherever. in non grid suburbs, it takes like 30 minutes to get anywhere because you have yo go the most roundabout way to everywhere. it may not look good from the sky, but it’s so much more practical.

For me the harder challenge is building on a bunch of spaced out islands, Archipelago map is really limiting cause of how little space you have per island. I made a modified version of it tho originall had too harsh shores..

Now send it to Biffa and tell him to fix the traffic but remain in the tile. That would be a neat collaboration of sorts.

Super neat how they do this it’s like a video game almost! I really enjoyed the video!!! Would like to see more keep up the cool stuff thank you

10:42 laying pipe and satisfying people

I would like to see a part 2 of this series, basically you build a two tile city.

I binge watched every City Skyline video you have dropped and was hoping today's upload would be a new one. Thank you for this

"Maybe i want the highway as an artillery all the way around..." Didn't know this was a Tower Defense game.

When im down i always come to your videos. From days im upset from daily life or just now loosing 200k in a hard game i will always come to my favorite engineer.

You should continue with this series. When you complete one tile buy the next one and continue one by one.

Id love to see you expand this city. Like gradually turn it in to suburbs on the outs skirts then farm lands and forests here and there and then some small towns.

The life and existence of your residents is endangered by floods. The mayor: "Hey-ho, it is what it is."

The skyscraper with the big hole in it is from Hong Kong and is one part about keeping it from blowing over in the wind (good engineering) and one part so the dragons can get through (badass), so clearly not the product of an architect. The weird cube thing was made by a weird artist.

Some people thought that a cube was a good idea for a city, while in fact all that was needed was a square.

the square border around the city kind of reminds me of the border of washington d.c. with the potomac

as an architect, all ur attacks on us make me laugh a lot ahahaah! Keep going, mate!

The apartment buildings with the parking in back are probably supposed to in real life have an alleyway behind them. But even without an alleyway the parking lots still accessible by driveways at the sides of the building. The building with a hole though it should have a monorail passing through it if the game allowed that.

It's good to see RCE playing games properly for once

Its always a good day when RCE uploads a city skyline video. just finished re watching the entire egatopia series

You gear so much of your content as silly fun nonsense i forget you're a incredibly capable person, this is actually an impressive city!

It's so surreal watching you play this game totally normally

As much as i enjoy your variety content, i always love to see some more grounded civil engineering on the channel

I love how he shows the eagle crying about left hand driving, it’s almost like he doesn’t realize the entire world drives on the right and the uk is the weird one not the us

It looks so satisfying seeing the whole tile filled in

Keep growing this city, I'm trying to see how you'd expand it out.

I have the feeling the water physics work different when speeding up time or slowing down, so when you slow down all this water still has the speed of sped up time so it spills to the side.

I like when he plays the game in the way the Devs wanted

00:01 "Hello fellow engineers" *COOKIE MONSTER* "and welcome back to..."

Can't wait to get my Beaver!!!!!!!!!!!! :) Love ALL the vids you do. Thank you so much for the great entertainment. Greg

I actually appreciate this video. I was always horrible at this game and ended up thousands of dollars in the negative and had no idea how to get out. I just re-download and doing much better so 👍

Day 1 of asking you to try your engineering skills in SCRAP MECHANIC

I'm in the middle of something like this city. I just didn't measure stuff so precisely, but I got 10k people in like 25% of the whole map. I gradually demolished low dens zones to put high-density ones, once they were available, before I expanded the city horizontally,

crazy how i was just rewatching your old videos and all of a sudden got recommended this new one nice, i didnt know you still played skylines

I really enjoyed your video. Thanks.

really should have started with Dirt roads, especially for the ones you are using as a marker, would have made the whole task much more cost effective.

This was so fun, please do more of these more "serious" Videos playing cities skylines! :D

Can you please do more cities videos! I love your content so much you convinced me to buy the game!!😊

So many lovely bridges without a bridge review

I remember when I didn't realize you could expand your cities beyond one tile.

You should keep that map, and each episode add a new tile to it. Then work on just that one tile and see how your city does overall. Slowly, consume the entire map! Mwuahahaha!

11:09 and not a single penis joke! I'm proud of you Matt, that shows real growth :)

My current city is enspired my yours but it's almost finished the second te with 60K people in a massive uni and about 40K + a week from all my buildings and have about 30 public transport routes and it's doing really well thanks so much RCE

This city actually looks quite good 👍

Matt: finally decides to build in a grid system, also Matt: refuses to use the grid tools built into the game

You should continue this as a series, adding 1 tile at a time expanding that city

Actually, all of my cities are one tile big. I usually get bored and move onto a new city. 20:36 yea, that's how most first time players are if you limit yourself to how much land can be used.

I'm pretty sure all the floods are from pausing/unplugging and having the water stopping and moving again. Just a guess. I'm a cheese maker not an engineer

what I always do when making my city outline is use dirt roads and upgrade later. the game won't let you have access to dirt roads until you put one of the two lane roads down first so I just connect the highway to itself to get access. way cheaper.

some dedication right there mate, cheers!

Could you do a part 2 to this. Like A checka board map of single tile city states

To avoid the bridging thing on uneven ground you need to click on the second button (arrow down) under Modes in the Elevation Step window (top right of your screen in this video). This forces roads to stick to the ground.

I've seen this game as an option on my console and wasn't sure I would like it. But bc of your videos, I might try the game.

Awesome video keep up the great work I pray you, your channel, your family, Paddie, your fans live long happy prosperous lives♥🙏

its probably been mentioned by the time i write this but the change in water is most likely due to you slowing and increasing time causing the water to have semi tsunami. hope that helps mate

quick hack: the japanese garden is the smallest park and they have an equal happiness radius

I love the beef with architects

You could've made a second episode optimizing the traffic of the city, with public transportation, metros, and shifting the suburban and industrial parts to offices and high density. Completing a fully service based operating city.

What map is this on

the hole in the building is not just architecture, it's useful for dealing with wind and important to feng shui

Real Civil Engineer is truly one of the Engineer most time

I really enjoy this game. Sim city was my favorite back in the day. Only problem. Now is, I simply don't have the patience to play it. Granted I play on Xbox. Maybe if I got it for my PC I'd enjoy it again. Idk. I sit down and start to play, get my first makings of a city in place, and before I even reach the first milestone I'm over it and ready to get back to elden ring or dying light. Something with some action. Idk. But I could sit and watch Matt play for hours. In fact I have/am doing that right now.

Day 49 of asking Matt to play No Mans Sky.

Glad you went legit. Cheats are just too boring to watch, even as desperate as I am for something to watch.. Seriously I would have had to watch an Architect.

I was sad that there wasn’t a bridge review today. Very much the highlights of the show. 😂

1:05 as an American I found absolutely no comfort in this video, there wasn’t guns or oil. (I did) Good job Matt!

it is soooo satisfying to see the city
