I was so interested in a triangle self sufficient city ; u;

Idea for a challenge: 1. Start new game (unlocked everything) 2. Pause 3. Build a whole city in one go 4. Unpause and never build again Just to see how well you can balance out the city outright and if you won't forget anything important ;)

Tip for Matt: The reasoning behind why industrial did not fill in around the landfill what not because of the landfill. It was because it takes 12-20 months to graduate from a university not to mention the previous education steps to enable university education. In addition to this, (I have said this before and I'll say it again) there is a job overlay you can check. More people equals less jobs available, less residential and higher industrial demand due to unemployment. This works inversely as well. ! Hope it helps and thanks for the video! ;)

12:24 i had to pause the video and admire the sheer beauty and elegance of the island this legend made.

The collective term for the residents of this island is: A bunch of knobs

The palm islands were a symptom of architecture, which is why they failed.

Matt: *makes the very reasonable decision to ensure the city won't be covered in trash and pollution before building* Also Matt: I don't know why I prioritized that.

These CS2 challenges continue to get better and better

what makes you think that?

Strong shape. Looks firm. Inspires confidence.

18:33 The cable is under tension, the bridge deck is under compression. As long as the bridge deck and its connection to the cable hold, the bridge wouldn't collapse. Trust me, I took 1 semester of Engineering.

As a longtime CS player and mod user, watching you build in this game is both painful and wholesomely entertaining. The shore wall thing is easy tho. Build the road further in, then use landscape tool to remove the little strip of land between the road and water, let the water fill in that space, bob's your uncle.

There is a reference in Timberborn to your KZread channel. Last building in the water section. Build it then read the saying about it.

It's those lazy editors again.

What I will say is, at my job as a Mechanical Design Engineer, my bosses want me to prioritize design, yes, but also they want me to ensure that the product we make looks presentable. It's not architecture, obviously... but still, I think it's worth mentioning.

i just wanted to say i absolutely love ur videos mat. keep up the good work

1:48 I was looking at maps of Paris, and was wondering why they basically had the same... I am used to seeing American stuff where we have large areas of nothing, and long highways going to the cities and the like. Makes sense now :O

Ok just got to say it, even though you have probably heard it a million times already, buuuutt,,, would love to see you play Palworld. It would be hilarious to see it paled from an Engineers perspective. Love the videos my friend. Keep up the great work!

I believe the island needs to seek medical help. If its developing spiky protrusions, you've developed a deadly architecture based illness.

The easiest way to make the seawall road is put the road on the ground and then lower terrain only to the middle of the road. Then remove the road and place it again.

I watch your videos every night and fall asleep but tonight I couldn’t because of the music in the background 😂 drove me crazy!!!

If you reload the map the issue with bridges or roads being inside water gets fixed. Thought that would eventually get fixed but guess not.

Hey matt! Why not make a map with 2 separate island, 1 for engineer and 1 for architect! So we can see the difference 🤣

Thing is, I think he's already reviewed all the Cities Skylines bridges.

I wonder if the devs took into account internet physics, in which water reflects data signals and when the signals hit the reflected signals they are negated causing unstable/unusable internet. (This is why you dont get service in the ocean unless youre on an extremely big boat)

2:57 they SERIOUSLY need to fix that. It's an incredibly widespread issue. I have that issue in my game so much, especially when building under water tunnels, it tells me that, get this, the under water tunnel is....UNDER WATER.

It has to do with number of electrons in the data form. Since although, in most quantities it’s unmeasurable, it still exists

As I saw the tip for the garbage, I know what efficient shape the isolated island would become
