Cities Skylines, but there's NO WATER...
Ойындар
We're back in Cities Skylines (City Skyline) engineering a way to survive in the desert with no water. I had to recreate the new phenomenon of exploiting the oil beneath the ground to pay for the upkeep of my city!

Hey Matt, small hint: Use the Eco Water Treatment Plant from the Green Cities DLC instead of the Water Drain Pipe. They treat the water before releasing them into the environment. Therefore the released water is much cleaner and you need fewer Floating Garbage Collectors to make your water drinkable. Overall this should save you a lot of money because garbage collectors are very expensive to operate, but the water treatment plants are only marginally more expensive than the drain pipes. Additionally, I think an engineer's paradise such as your cities should have as much amazing engineering as possible, and the water treatment engineering bits have been neglected by all of your cities so far. Dumping your waste untreated into the environment is for architects only.

i live in an oil town thats in a desert and i 1000x% love that it feels like we're being called out, with the whole skyscrapers out in the middle of nowhere to the flip flop of our local economy being basically solely reliant on how well oil sells. Not quite there on the whole drinking our own literal poop yet, though some might say they think otherwise. Love your vids!
There's no water? That's my architect landlord every other day.
Ah gotta love it when in Cities Skylines you set up a specific industry in a specific zone and the game is like "Hey we didn't get the raw materials for a second! Import it in!" Because I love it when my lumber industry imports lumber despite setting it up in a forest with plenty of lumber according to the location... :D

For some reason I don't fully comprehend, this was one of the most relaxing and fulfilling episodes you ever put out.

I got a traffic questions and a bridge question! There is a overpass in the US where our traffic changes from driving on the right to driving on the left. Why would you do this when controlling traffic and is it called something specific? The GPS coordinates are 38.817969, -77.640031 and it's route 15 that does it. It's been driving me crazy trying to figure out why they do this. My bridge question is, how do you feel about the US having one of the London Bridges from 1800's? Any plans to check it out? The bridge is the one over Lake Havasu in the US.

Hahaha!!! Too true!
It really is amazing how many different uses oil has, plastics, medicines, energy
so funy thing about cities skylines, if you start with everything unlocked, you don't have a city full of people that can pay for the things that get unlocked... and when you add people to your city, they demand things like police, fire service, garbage collection exetera, right? well if you DIDNOT unlock everything, then the game disables the people's desire for fire service, police service, garbage colelction AND other stuff. because the developers of the game decided that it made more sense to limit what you have to juggle at the start of a game, at least until you unlock some milestones, like getting your city to a larger sized population. so using the 'unlock everything from the start' option, makes the game fundamentally HARDER(, but not impossible). If you want to try this challenge again, try it without unlock-everything. another little fact, the cars, trucks and everything, need turn around spots in your roads, otherwise they'd proceed to the end of the road regardless of where they want to actually go. this is fairly unrealistic behavior so most people don't think to deal with it or work around it, but you have to actually include like intersections and stuff so that they don't just generate out of thin air, and proceed to go the wrong direction for the destination they have in mind for AGES before eventually turning around and going the correct way. this also affects the walkers. because they have the same a.i. so you counter-intuitively need turn around spots, like intersections, for paths. and oh yeah, not every road has a path for them to walk on, and some things might not be valid turn-arounds, so you'd have to actually watch the path to see if it gets used.
The Burj Khalifa is truly a feat if engineering, built on sandstone and on massive pillars, incredible height, everything bout it is amazing
Such a beautiful and artistic design he made for water treatment 18:28 its a piece of art
14:37 I liked it when he did this.
id happily wtch a series of this!
So what Matt teaches us about sewage treatment is, fill a hole in the earth with poo water, flick out the turds, pump it back into people's homes, which makes more poo water.
Architects sit their and doodle on a piece of paper and then say it’s sufficient for the engineer to figure out get rid of the middle man and just leave us with engineers
Video starts, hang on is Matt actually making a serious Cities video. 2:50 in. Nope of course not. Laughter ensues. Quick double take a few minutes later as the engineering actually makes sense. Nicely done, might try this in my own city.
I think I'm a architect secretly. I want to make a giant solar power array that's set up in space that's pretty much giant sails and they are in geosynchronous orbit and tethered to the ground with power cable. Plus since it's in space cables to keep the form so no heavy bulky wieghts...weights.... except for the tons of sails and cables
the highlight of my day!!!

Matt, next time to get more money into the system let ALL your people WALK through a few parks before reaching the Oil industry. Also use WAREHOUSES for better and faster export of your oil production. Maybe you can make a POOP basin ONLY, and use fire helicopters to put out a (constant) fire you create in a pit where you also have the regular water pumps. Makes you wonder if that scooped up poop will still be poop if dropped from those helicopters. 🙂 Don't forget to 'credit' me for giving you this idea lol... :P :D
You live in a city:😊 It’s got gravel roads:😀 The water is made from poo:🥲 The city is bankrupt:😕 Your in the desert:😞 The city is made from rce:💀
Bro really tried to use 'poo-lution' instead of 'sew-lution' which actually rhymes 😭
amazing episode
This is basically my hometown in summer (and the other seasons too)
At this point I think there's an addiction to "efficient" shapes
It was great episode!
The large roundabout with cars driving both ways is far more impressive then the water
I don't know if this is still the case but it use to be that due to the way the game rounds water volume you make more water from the sewage then the city uses I watched a sires where this was solved using big evaporation pans
0:08 Let's hope Matt doesn't become Darth Architecture.
I don't get why he doesn't use the actual 'Water treatment plant', a water tower or a rewservoir could also help.
Everytime I think of deserts I think about Las Vegas and how ridiculous it is to put a megacity into a desert when you have other options.... On the other side a Mafia hideout on the middle of nowhere sounds great

This could be only the idea of an engineer to clean up sewage water to make it drinkable. Good, Job!
Jesus could turn water into wine. Engineers can turn poo into water.
