"We want a little bit more efficiency" he says as he makes a 5-way intersection chokepoint to get onto motorway 2.

One other interesting tidbit that I realized when I was playing: distance is a factor, but there is also a maximum number of pips that can be on a structure, based on its size! So the square green that you had going cross-map was doomed to always be angry, but there was no way to fix it because there was "never" going to be a max number of cars that it wanted. Rejigging could only make them get onto the motorway a little faster, so the bottleneck was distance! For a full-map distance like that, I'd say 6 cars is as many as you need, maybe 7 at 10K+ :)

This is such a mature yet entertaining and relaxing commentary. Such a fresh change from the high energy commentary that across UKposts now 😊😊

Keep up the relaxed, Aussie commentary. It's such a nice change from the high-energy knobheads usually doing these playthroughs. Love the video

Something I don’t often see discussed with this game is how much left turns across traffic can hurt you late in the game. For instance, The issue with congestion at yellow on highway 2 could likely have been alleviated earlier by disconnecting the single yellow down below much sooner as it had to make a left turn across traffic on the way to the business and back in the span of one cell

Hey mate, you've inspired me to record my playthrough of this game! Love your work, reppin' extremely relaxed Aussie vibes

One thing I've noticed about job priority is that motorways seem to only "count" for a single road. So when you moved M4 to support the skyscraper, those actually became the primary responders instead of the houses that were more road tiles away, even if the ones attached by the motorway were physically further.

The only thing, that kept you from going infinite, was to reduce the number of greens on that double location, so the parking lot cannot be that crowded. Too many greens connected. Also in general you want to try to keep the entrances of double-location for 2-3 tiles free from crossing, so the leaving traffic does not cause congestion inside the parking lots, but on those 2-3 tiles outside... it's easy worth the additional distance. This single green house, intersecting right before the green entrance could due to its short distance travel so many journeys more than others, that it all alone caused leaving traffic to slow-down inside the parking lot, blocking yellow off from the other side. If you would have shifted that single green up to the circle, it would have been so much smoother. And on the other side, the two yellow houses could have been bridge-connected to one tile before the entrance... to give at least a little bit more space for leaving the parking lot.

love that yellow-blue traffic light, the way the blues stop to let the caterpillar of yellows through is so nice to see, instead of the two colours constantly interrupting each other

I just started playing this game 2 days ago and my score was stuck around 1K. This video really helped me understand the game mechanics and helped me hit my high score of 2700 on the LA Map today. Really appreciate the content you put out!

Hubby shared your channel and I started playing last night, you’re super talented and so soothing to watch ☺️

just achieved this score myself, well done. it is really enjoyable watching you play and to hear your line of thinking, keep it up

I am so happy right now. Its 1am here and this is the perfect thing to watch to relax me enough to sleep. You are amazing!!

I've got to play this game now! I was hoping the whole time where the yellow and green shared the same parking lot that you would route the yellow road around the right side to the south entrance and run the green road around the left side to the north entrance so they wouldn't be gridlocked in the parking lot. Or car park i believe you call it. There is so much stuff to watch in this game, i love the fast paced problem solving. I can only imagine how many times i'm going to slap myself for missing something simple.

Those double lots really are just ticking time bombs.

Everytime i check UKposts you have a new video out. I love it!

This is so relaxing and chill 😌

Thanks for not blocking roads like the others... I feel like it's not the way thee game should be played :p

the whole time I was hoping you would had switched the roads for the green / yellow 2 block building on the left side. great build.

I picked the game up yesterday and got 7000 in the weekly challenge (which was my third round overall). I am quite proud and also think that it came from watching you the last three weeks :)

Early game: fun, lighthearted Late game: STRESS

Amazing video!! Keep up the fantastic work!!

I don't comment with every video, but thanks again! Your videos are so relaxing after a stressful day.

Your my new favorite youtuber, so relaxing

Just chiming in to say thanks for posting! I love playing this game but its hard because i have to be looking and using both hands to do it, and watching you play instead totally solved that for me, now i can do my embroidery work and feel like i'm playing :) Also I think you have the perfect amount of commentary, you explain whats going on without overdoing it and don't feel like you have to fill every second. Thanks!

A few booster fixes you made ended up becoming permanent. The dark blue had a yellow house cross it, also the motorway caused constant congestion. A frequent problem is suburbs becoming 4ways. Like the green you tried to fix near the end. A new problem I noticed was the yellow on the coast. Seems 2 T intersections was creating minor traffic. It had enough houses but the cars kept bumping at this turn. My guess is a traffic light could be a solution. It was quite a busy corner despite avoiding a 4... I'm still experimenting with mixing colors using roundabouts. Only results I have so far is that input and output must be equal. One red input for red output. Seems obvious but I kept making mixed color input which worked early 3k but was catastrophe at 4k+ due to so many skyscrapers. Funny enough the congestion was before input and in the mixed suburbs. The roundabout seems to be underperforming on single colors and I'm testing new approaches.

Damn dude that was freaking good.

as always - clean and logical!

This game looked so much fun that I had to buy it after watching.

Starting to creep into my late 20’s and I was watching this video without pausing completely entertained… I use to watch CoD highlights and clips, now I’m watching someone create a functioning motorway in a game for enjoyment. I think I’m getting old..

the most controlled chaos Ive ever seen

That on-ramp to M2, from the store side, for yellow being so long is making me aggressive. But your soothing voice makes it all better. Much love.

What are some other games that you are thinking of playing on this channel? I really love the commentary!

Hello! Just another youtuber here lol, But genuinely wanted to comment saying that I really enjoy watching your videos, one day the UKposts algorithm will take you and you will grow to be massive!! :)

You started in the South Bay (Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach, Torrance, Palos Verdes) then goes towards Long Beach.

So what I was looking at and why the right side failed with green and yellow were the sort of T junction intersections. Adding the green and yellow house down to the round about should have alleviated the issue. (In fact adding the bridge added to the congestion for yellow.) The same thing was happening on the far left with the yellow market. Basically what I've seen is that T intersections are bad and Y intersections are great. And avoid sharp bends as much as possible.

Super underrated channel

A very strong score, just you wait DD, I'll be coming for you and your rank this Saturday ;) I agree with your blocking ideology, it's just not a good thing.

Wow good game sir Well done !

love ur commentary

I think that you would have been able to run the greens in through the top, and yellows at the bottom (talking about the eastern car park that caused trouble). That would have sorted things out a bit I reckon

Interesting. You have a similar playstyle as me.. but almost double the score. :)

27:31 Two red cars go into a yellow house on the very left hand side.

This guy sounds like he regularly commentates Wimbledon

18:50 has to be the worst place a mall could spawn at!

Nice!

Nice a new vid

Motorway Matt (Real Civil Engineer) needs to go back to school! This way a great play.

I’m wondering whether it’s better, if possible at the time, to have the two colours in a shared parking area enter from the same entrance as the traffic would never go against each other and flow better through it. Not sure exactly, would like to hear from someone who knows.

Definitely could have hit 10,000 if you put a road behind the orange and green building for the orange traffic and a road in front for the green traffic

Motorway 3 should’ve been attached to the roundabout

Yu have a very mellow speaking rythm and not a lot of spikes in tone, it reminds me of a commentator for snooker. Its almost asmr. :)

9:53 : spawns a blue house 11:24 : finally connects it

thats a lotta trips

Are we not gonna talk about the 2 greens at the top connected to nothing but each other

I wonder if you inserted more traffic lights into some 3 way intersections would it make it better or worse in the long run?

Do houses spawn the same by city if you don't block? I had a practically identical game of los angelos minus not making it quite as far

Urban Sprawl: The Game

27:33 Uhhhhh look at the left most clump of yellow houses… two reds just went into them lmao

I'm pretty sure you can just grab one end of a motorway and just move it without needing another motorway ( 25:10 )

The 1 Highway looks like the 405 honestly.

I was playing this game, everything was going smoothly then suddenly the demand surges and i was in like week 17 and only had 4 motorways, feels kinda low, coz like if only i had 2 more motorways i could have scored mich higher my current pr in los Angeles is 3,689, i know its not much.

The thumbnail looks like Los Angeles IRL

31:00 I'm screaming TRAFFIC LIGHTSSSSS!!!!!!

I haven't tried playing the actual game so I'm curious if you can also remove the motorways and rearrange it like the roads?

I think your sub count really blew up after the comeback from your hiatus?

I always die around 2k because theres one color always doesnt have enough houses

I thought this would help me with the game but now after watching this I’ll just quit … 😂

I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Watching all MM viss on UKposts. Everyone will get at least the double amount of motorways that I do. I buggers me because i always loose because I don't have enough of them.

Hey DD, just one or two too many greens on that double park in this vid. Otherwise you'd have been Golden

Hi drawing dead would you consider playing tropico?

Updated game ... so easy now

He forgot the houses in the top right..

27:34 wtf are those red cars doing inside of that yellow house on the left of the map

8:13 I can hear the pain in your voice...

damn im pretty bad at this game

One thing, segregation isn't the best efficient way to get high scores

Cutie

double crossed lots seems not good thing. I have seen many players lose because of this crossed feeding

Please record with no game audio. A lot of people watch at 1.5X and the game audio/music becomes annoying Really like your videos, cheers

Out of interest, why do you refer to all the game entities as males?
