Sssssh, don't tell him!

Yeah

He should use mods. There are many that would help with engineering. There's even a full water management mod

he's such a noob lol

He hearted he knows now

a Roman city after all

could tell it was bath by looking at just the thumbnail! it was the river shape that was the clue

Closest cities to Bath: Bristol, Keynsham, and Nailsea

@@sindhuahuja5230 that's pretty generous calling Keynsham a city

​@@kegaland Nailsea..

When I hear about that stuff, I wonder how many of their decisions were influenced by a strong bias for modern american cities. Like what do they consider a "realistic" amount of parking? Would realistic parking still be ugly if they allowed you to build a more walkable city? Every time I played SimCity, it felt like they hard-coded specific outcomes instead of letting a neutral simulation play out. It was so hard to maintain farmland because they wanted every city to become Manhattan.

​@@SubjectiveObserver I swear some people just want their cities to be nonfunctional decorations. You either build parking lots - not garages, garages are for walkable cities - or you make a walkable city. You can't have neither, neither makes everyone's lives awful. It's how I feel about people trying to make unwalkable cities not car friendly. Basically forcing everyone to walk 2 hours just to get somewhere. I wouldn't mind parking in a garage, if I didn't have to walk 30 blocks to get to something. And have more winter options, because walking in -10°F iced roads is not good either. But people just don't think about this. People live and work in the cities, you're just making the city not friendly to people. No people city is what they are.

only USA style parking though where its just painted on the ground in huge square. multistory carparking buildings like everywhere else would work fine because thats what is used IRL

@@SubjectiveObserver Bath is a good example of what they were talking about. It's not American either.

Great video

in Russia is everything possible. They made a train with road wheels. Just seach "MAZ-547/M62"

Now that's metal 🤘🤘🚆

Trains don't have steering wheels, how did they keep it on the road?

@@welcomeblack clearly you haven't seen that one The Polar Express scene

To be honest, I don't actually know. My guess is it was probably a straight line run from where it was lifted off the tracks to where it came to rest and was connected. Provided they were very careful about placing it on the road pointing in the right direction, the flanged wheels digging into the road would've helped keep it running pretty straight. If they did need to make any major course changes, such as turning onto another street, well they had a crane they initially used to lift it off the tracks and place it on the road, I'd guess they would've just lifted it with the crane again, carefully turned it while suspended, and then placed it back down again and continued in the new direction. *Edit as I missed an interesting point: That engine only travelled about 1,000ft to get to where it was to be used. They weren't actually connecting them direct to the towns power grid as I originally suggested, they were connecting them to some of the town municipal buildings so they could at least have power to help them organize emergency response. They were planning to take a second locomotive much further, to get power into a school that was being used as an emergency shelter, but that would've meant driving the locomotive over an overpass, and there was a lot of concern that the overpass would collapse under the weight of the locomotive, so in the end they didn't do that, and instead, kept the second nearby as a backup for the first.

Beautiful city, unfortunately it aged me 10 years driving through the city center during rush hour on my second day visiting the UK lmao

Visited from the US in summer '99. I was astonished by all the side streets. Just down from the Cathedral we found a tiny courtyard with a big tree in the center. It was just so magical.

So, Bath is real city? Idk until I Google it

Yeah after he put in the foot paths my thought was "why not use these instead of the pedestrian walkways?" but I guess it does create some conflict with the zoning in the game.

think the only disadvantage of the footpaths is that you cant do any zoning on them, whereas the pedestrian streets you can

@@T3mp0_tv Yeah. Not sure if the city would have had better building spread using the smaller footpaths off the main roads than using the larger pedestrian streets. At a few points it looked like he was ending up with more roads than space for buildings, but it did look pretty good in the end.

r/FuckCars

@@LegoDork It's really more about poor urban planning than the cars themselves. If you over-regulate what can go where and force people to constantly shuffle from sector to sector, you end up generating tons of unnecessary traffic.

Yep, it takes me 7 minutes on foot to get to the shop where I buy grocery. There's another shop closer but it's more expensive

​@realdragon Walking distances from my house (approximately): Small groceries: 3 minutes Large supermarket: 3 minutes Public library: 3 - 4 minutes Community centre: 2 - 3 minutes Primary school: 4 - 5 minutes Secondary school: 8 - 10 minutes Church: 7 - 8 minutes Post office: 10 minutes Hair salon: 3 - 4 minutes Domino's Pizza: 2 minutes Grass/recreation areas: 10 - 20 seconds Bus stop: 30 seconds to 1 minute Beach: 30 minutes Mountain: 20 minutes McDonald's: 17 - 18 minutes Town, with large variety of shops, services, and restaurants: 18 - 20 minutes Electrical store: 10 minutes DIY/hardware/garden supplies: 10 - 12 minutes Graveyard: 11 minutes Pharmacy: 2 - 3 minutes Vet: 18 minutes Doctor/GP: 20 minutes Mental health clinic: 2 minutes, or another at 15 minutes Dentist: 25 minutes Optician: 20 minutes Travel agent: 20 minutes Government/Council offices: 18 minutes Estate agents: 18 - 20 minutes Theatre: 19 - 20 minutes Fire station: 3 minutes Police station: 25 - 30 minutes Honestly, the only thing I can think of that's not in walking distance, is a hospital. But ambulances are free anyway, and it's an 8 or 9 minute drive by car.

My thought was it wouldn't matter if the traffic is terrible because that's what Britain's known for 🤣

@@curtislevey7639 lol, British traffic is miles better than North America because they have viable alternatives to sitting on the motorway for 2+ hours in stop-and-go traffic.

@@agilemind6241 "viable alternatives" I sure loved my daily commute consisting of waiting 1-2 hours on a bus stuck in traffic, or paying a day of food's worth in train tickets and having to walk half an hour to the station because all the buses going to it arrived AFTER the train left, but also on the way back arrived before the train came back, after moving more into the city and with new price increases now I forgone paying the "Minor" amount of 3 quid per tram ride, deciding that walking 1 hour somewhere is better than taking the tram for 20 minutes

Being to London as a Moscow guy I can confirm that traffic management in there is just horrible. I was genuinely terrified by it. It has some similar problems with historical center of Moscow but even there all roads were widened as far as it was possible to keep up with traffic increase.

@@agilemind6241the majority of the US doesn’t have to deal with traffic jams. It is more common in bigger cities

Add that and maybe make the European theme actually look European and you'd actually have a good game. It would also help a lot to have all road types in different sizes because it's pretty weird that a pedestrian street is always the same size and you can't make it smaller. Or maybe just have different road sizes and you specify if it's one way or pedestrian or even a bycicle road yourself after building it, just as if you put up some signs. There are so many ways this game could be improved and it's honestly really sad that it's never going to happen.

@@schrodingerskatze4308 Yes. Cities 1 was GREAT. Cities 2 should have just polished it up a bit. Instead. It broke.

I was just thinking they could mod the game to add reference images. I could probably use that software for my own projects, thanks

even easier is the image overlay mod for cities skylines

I was going to suggest tracing paper and scotch tape 🤣

@@arashai Paper? Does anybody own paper anymore? lol

@@SubjectiveObserver The first game had multiple image overlay mods. Sadly none of them got maintained for more than a couple of months. This really needs to be a functionality of the base game...

And yet, cracking cycle path running to it, and through it! Bristol and Bath, and the 2 tunnels paths are some of the best urban cycling in the country, lovely rides.

hilly by british standards is flat for most of the world

@@abbcc5996 It can be steep without being tall. But in general, Britain, particularly England, is very flat. Although, parts of Bath are over 100 metres above sea level despite being near the coast.

@@abbcc5996 Mountainous yes. Steep and hilly no. From someone who lives near Sheffield where all the industry was built on the flat valley floor of the River Don(no problems with flooding at all) and all the big posh victorian villas were built in the steep hilly west of the city because of the prevailing wind blowing all the smog and grime Eastwards.

@@abbcc5996 Don't confuse hilly with high. Bath is hilly. There's seven hills within 15 minutes walk of each other that the city is built across, and the valleys between them. It's very compressed. Sure it isn't built on the side of a mountain, but when having "to walk uphill both ways" isn't a joke on every single journey you make, your legs feel it.

"little" city? 😐

@@MrYotosun yeah Bath is tiny, lives in the shadow of Bristol

@@spinecho609 but when the trains are packed to standing it's because everyone's going to and getting off at bath. it suddenly empties out if you're staying on to bristol

Marietta Georgia?

@@Calz20Videos marietta ohio

One way systems were a thing in European cities way before the car. Best example was probably ancient Rome.

Nah, in the case of Bath it's more a result of a very long running number of attempts to solve the chronic congestion in the city centre and try to convince people to just not drive through the city if at all possible. I lived there for 5 years and they changed the one way system almost as many times, along with pedestrianising and unpedestrianising roads and bus lanes.

Same problem on the continent At least they are investing in atomic energy too...... Unless you are stupid like Germany....

Same problem on the continent

Wind accounts for around 30% of the UK's power. The national grid publishes the figures every month. 24% gas. They don't list oil.

yeah no chance. This is a country that's not built a reservoir since about 1992. Population has increased by about 10m in that time and then the government have the bollocks to tell us there's droughts. How about building some new infrastructure

@@MarkWebster404 Wind accounts for just under 30% of energy generated in the UK - it doesn't include energy imported. You can find more comprehensive breakdowns in reports produced by the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero.

Bath Maine?

@@LegoDork Bath, Maine is pretty atypical for an American city. It's built in a steep... fjord... carved by the Kennebec river, and is dominated by the route 1 highway bridge which passes over everything.

Especially the car park that is rush hour London Road...

@@brotheroni6233 don't forget Queen's square, especially now with the roadworks making all the traffic come from two directions.

Just add a tourist coach or two (& their associated hordes of pedestrians) and I'm sure normal Bath traffic will be resumed!

Well, it was founded by the Romans, the OG French. 🤣

We all know Matt's secretly an architect

It hurt my heart when he made the river, places the train station, and thennnnn thought about scale

Still annoyed he chose Bath over Bristol, did pan over my house in Google earth though so not all bad 😂

@@LordMonkeyBoy2K Time and scale might have something to do with it. I once tried to create an approximation of Sheffield in Sim City. Imagine just zoning the east of a city heavy industry yellow. It did recreate some very accurate pollution problems. In real life the main coal power station was actually at the eastern edge of the city(now a renewable energy plant)

Everything from the North has to go around that square just outside the city centre and I was just passing through trying to get to Glastonbury Festival. It never got a proper ring road like most places. Even York & Chester have ring roads.

Were they just...open???

@@Aycion no they used to have a giant steel cage around the outside holding a silo style inside which used to move up or down depending on how full it was
