EXTREME SEGREGATION is the key to high scores in Mini Motorways!
Ойындар
This time we're not only splitting roads by color, but also splitting those colors to limit traffic and gain high scores in Mini Motorways! From the makers of Mini Metro comes Mini Motorways! A highway engineering puzzle game and in this video I, a highway designer of 10 years, see if my real life engineering skills help me become better at the Mini Motorways puzzle game by segregating different colors to the extreme to fix bad traffic!

Are those motorways or just interstates and highways?
I used the extreme segregation strategy on this week's challenge, and it *really, really worked* ... the key was not to connect too many houses to a shop. There were a few times when I only survived by the skin of my teeth, but I got through to about 4,000 journeys and every single shop had a timer going ... *but then it reached equilibrium.* Every shop had just enough houses connected to it to hold steady with the demand, the map was largely full (and no more space for shops) ... and it just ran and ran. At that point, I just sat back and then every week hit a button to get the next week's road tiles. OK, I did a little bit of tweaking, in particular disconnecting a few houses that were connected to the wrong road network to avoid crossroads, _reducing_ the number of houses connected to a few shops where they were suffering from congestion, but apart from that, nothing. The weeks went by, the journeys clocked up. I had about 60 houses that were not connected to a shop of their own colour, but that was fine. Every shop was constantly pinging timers, but the red dial was never going above the three-quarter mark on any of them. At Week 139, I stopped getting offered roundabouts and bridges (I had used all 9 motorways, I had 29 roundabouts in the bank and one on the map, 25 bridges in the bank and 6 on the map, and 60 traffic lights all of which were in the bank) and just got a stack of road tiles every week ... but annoyingly, I still had to keep clicking to accept so I couldn't just leave it to its own devices. At Week 225, I was getting bored so I connected about 8 more houses into one double-shop and sure enough, within 3 weeks the extra traffic had caused gridlock and those shops blew up. My final score was *172,418* and that didn't involve any trickery, just extreme segregation and supply management ... and if I hadn't got fed up of pressing 'next' every couple of minutes and had found a way to just let it run without my intervention then it would have continued racking up 950 journeys a week _forever._

Always. Feel you mate.
As an engineering student, the way you start your videos with “hello fellow engineers” feels really great!
Each time you reconnect a motorway, you interrupt the traffic on it (cars can't start to use the new route until others stop using the old one). Don't do it when it leads to a critical Imax which is almost dying. (If you have a spare motorway, you can first build the new one and then delete the old one.)
The benefit of the traffic light is that all the cars obey the 4-way stop rules of coming to a stop before advancing. Traffic light makes them keep going at speed when they have the green light. It can help speed up high traffic intersections.
@stevieinselby
2 жыл бұрын
If you're going for extreme segregation then you don't really need traffic lights _or_ roundabouts, because you have so few intersections and they are only dealing with a low volume of traffic, that they can cope with standard priority rules.

@@stevieinselby I have started using any roundabouts I end up with where a lot of houses spawn. Helps make their traffic flow smoother as they all leave to go to shops or get on a motorway. Takes up some space but much smoother traffic flow near the houses.

#Tip 1. Make the turns as smooth as possible .90° turns slows up . So a diagonal 45° connection will make cars come and go faster . And a circular smooth turn makes them go faster more distance . So a round smooth turn is equal to a sharp 45° or 135° turn . But faster than a 90 ° turn . Use round abouts at sharp turns if you have spare enough of them . 2. Do not let an intersection open up to 4 ways . Keep it at max 3 ( 45 * 3 = Y shape or 180 + 45 = y shape . ) . Best is 2 . For house that spawn behind another one make a trapezium type connection . Dont make a or ^ or v shape connection Rather try to make it \__/ such shape . Dont open a intersection just infront of a house . They will come out slow . 3. If the home clusters of the same color are in radial arrangement , Use a round about to connect the houses at the entrance of a motorway road or bridge . Use all 8 inputs to a round about if possible . Giving every house a independent entry . If more houses then make pairs of homes connect to the inputs so that we dont break the max-3 intersection rule. If LINEAR arrangement . Go with a straight line with houses connecting the road at 45 ° ( no perpendiculars . Avoid them as much as possible .) 4. Towards the end of the game . Every IMAX cinema will need 4 homes if close enough and 6 homes if far away . 5 . In the beginning if possible try not to use bridges and tunnels specifically . Make as long roads as possible . During the end you can make long connections using single tunnel or bridges Since a bridge is just road tiles , they can be as long as you want as long as they are in water but they dont intersect . If your waters are not much busy or clustered with small little bridges . You can make a bridge behave as a railway line or expressway . And that's all . Have a great day ❤️❤️

Just remember, houses typically spawn in 'neighbourhoods', clumps of the same coloured houses (unless denied with road spam)
"Hello guys! Welcome back to another gameplay of Mini Motorways, and the first thing we're gonna do this episode is *MAXIMIZE SEGREGATION!* "
An easy way to tell if a store has enough houses on it is to look at the houses. If there's cars idling, there's sufficient houses connected.
Fun fact: no matter the length of the bridge, it only uses one bridge tile. so you can run bridges along the axis of a river and it will only cost one bridge tile (and whatever road tiles its length is)
For whatever reason, that part at the end where you moved around the white roadways had me so hype, I loved it

I love it how everytime you rehash/change the layout of the roads and screen shows the city again it just gets more and more confusing each time you do it love the series, keep it up!
I’ve been messing around with traffic lights, and have been trying to use them at housing/neighborhood intersections. Basically they slow down traffic a little bit so that everything in the center like roundabouts and intersections don’t get deadlocked as quickly. I haven’t broken 2K points yet, but have gotten multiple in the high teens. May be worth a try. Love the vids!

They aren’t too great when they are connected with a driveway, they are good for a cross road early game, but late game it should be a roundabout. If there is a crossroad very close to the supermarket, a traffic light is your only option

Start blocking early game to make sure you dont get bad spawns. RCE isn't doing that either and its why he hasnt gone over 2K. I suck, but even with blocking I can get over 2K on most maps.

i love how the game did everything in it’s power to prevent the segregation
Brioche, IMAX, Supermarkets, Moldy Bread, Milk Cartons, Shopping Bags… it’s like a whole other game watching you. 🚗😝
I'm colorblind but I love watching these because it helps me understand what shades go where and I can differ between shades like blues and greens easier with watching these ^^
Tips: You don't need to connect all the houses to a road. Try to only connect one house to one building Change motorways frequently to help with high priority structures Idk if it will help, but this is what i use
You should avoid connecting 4 roads/houses together at a single point as the cars slow down (it is a game mechanic). You can see the yellow cars going very slow as they leave the houses.
I love watching/hearing you play. Your memes are on point, and your voice is so soothing. Plus the way you connect houses so much satisfying
Once again, Segregation and Colour grouping can boost your score to the moon. I always got 1700+, and only failed when every IMAX started to clutter.
I love his mini motorways videos
Even though I watch all of the episodes, can I just say how much I appreciate you explaining the basics of the game before you start playing
I love how from the moment the second color appeared, the game was dead set on making this strategy as hard as possible this time round

I would have used a single bridge for the yellows in the beginning. The bridge would have run the entire length of the river heading towards the yellow store. Slight adjustment to the red road to move it out of the way so the bridge can connect to the land and than connect the yellow store. I don't care if the citizens want to see the waterfront! I'm going to use it as needed. :D

These videos are amazing, keep it up😂
2:55 for such close reds 1 house is sufficient for market and 2 for "imax" (3 in later stages). 3:44 someone already said he would make a bridge going with the river for yellows. Also, when you have a road which have few options to be moved, the good idea is to prevent spawning markets right next to it by building parallel road or few road pieces. And avoid junctions right in front of market entrance. 3:56 try to make T-junctions whenever you can, places where 4 or more roads meet slow cars a lot. Even when I want to scream "WTF RCE?! How you made this road setup so illogical?!" I really enjoy Mini Motorways series. ;)
you got your highest score yet on the map that seems to give me the most trouble. good job!

Nobody mentioned it yet but I’m pretty sure that the “upside down bags” are supposed to be pins. You know, like the ones on Google Maps meant to emulate putting pins in destinations on actual maps.

Glad YT recommended me this! Game looks cool and it kinda looks like it might scratch that OpenTTD itch
I stopped worrying early game apart from avoiding bad spawns by claiming space. The thing is as you collect upgrades, the road system will be totally revamped anyway soon enough.
I love watching you play mini motorways
I introduced mini motorways to my cousin sister yesterday and she literally got 3000+ on her first try! (Los Angeles). I was speechless as i could hardly cross 1500!
“I feel like I know what I’m doing.” Famous last words. Haha
recommendation, you can make a bridge extremely long and all it costs is the extra road tiles and 1 bridge
A bit of a cheesy way to play is to use spare road tiles to block areas you don't want things to spawn.
the realest civil engineer out there
I've seen some people essentially build whole streets on the river with one single bridge rather than just crossing. Might be something fun to try out to save road tiles
A good tip for this game is to try and avoid right angles, always aim for diagonals if you can when connecting to roads, the cars slow down more when there is a right angle
I live your videos, they are great, im totally not regret subbing to you
He found the key to getting high scores, though he never reaches anything close to a high score.
Bro honestly this is the first time I watched you and I already like you
Good job on that INSANE Rehash!
I thought “what are you doing to me” was Smeagol lmao
If the devs add a give way sign it’s could lead to some nice stats. You can prioritise certain routes, so a cut through road won’t affect traffic on the main road, if used right.
Nice! Seems the easiest way for me to learn is to keep playing
I would honestly be perfectly happy if he just did mini motorways and no other series from now on
your despair (in game only) makes me chuckle.
More cartoon cutaways please.....😂 0:08
I'm surprised you didn't block new shopping centres from spawning, since the mountains and the river make it so there's very little room for them to spawn to begin with.
