Follow up to the "Cars ignore turning restrictions" myth: Pedestrians ignore the removal of crosswalks. I spent an entire afternoon trying to fix traffic in my city by adding turn restriction signs and removing crosswalks only for it not to make a single difference whatsoever.

When you have a 200k population city and large amounts of people cross a road, they dont allow cars to pass. Thats why i build pedestrian overpasses wherever needed, like at traffic lights and roundabouts.

yeah, if you don't give pedestrians an alternative they just jaywalk. when removing a crosswalk you always need to add and underpass or overpass or another crosswalk near

I think in CS2 it's harder to have medium or high density demand in the initial phase. so you need to have tons of low density to get 2k population, once you get med/high res demand the city grows lot faster than CS1

For the forestry myth, while you can visually plant trees using that method, the question is would they actually be recognized and used by the forestry service? You’d have to shrink the area, then let it run dry, then add trees and see if it resumes operation using the trees you planted. I would guess that it will not use the trees you plant as those are probably just props and not resource trees and thus, won’t be recognized as existing by the forestry service.

I don’t think you gave the turn myth enough time. Any car that was already on a path when the path changed will ignore the new rules (or even ignore road moves and removals and drive on grass and through buildings), but new cars spawning will adopt the new conditions.

2 myth's in 1: you can stop air pollution with a mountain, and a mountain with trees is more effective

For "cars ignore turning restrictions", im pretty sure vehicles that have already pathfound thru that route will continue to use that route, but any new pathfinding will not use that route. Effectively, after changing a road rule, you have to wait a few minutes for the backlog of cars that already spawned to despawn and any new car will not use the turn

Yeap! the transport in the game is very bad at rebuilding the route in real time, so those cars that have already built a path through the intersection will ignore the restrictions, and the new ones will take them

Here's a myth: If you have underground pipes or electric cables and they happen to go above ground when they're not supposed to, they'll be invisible in normal view. Here's another myth for the same topic: If you lower landscape after creating underground electric cable, it won't let you lower all the way down where the cable is unless you get rid of it. Everything around the cable will still lower all the way.

I think the cars that already were on their way to this street will still turn, even if you put a no turn sign there. Every newly spawned car will follow the rules after that. I saw that several times when I changed some crossings.

Myth: Sewage can just flow out of the map at the edge of the map without consquences

I guess you can bring ground water to the surface by using it as only sorce, pumping the sewage and cleaning it

Helicopter lift can become less effective over holes due to the phenomenon known as "settling with power" or "vortex ring state." This occurs when a helicopter descends into its own downwash, creating turbulent airflow that reduces lift. That’s what I think would happen with the walls too

On the restrictions one, with the turn indicators... you've noticed the white marks in the road? Cars will not drive where there are no wear marks. Changing the indications changes those marks. I found this out when I made 2 streets cross as an "X" and 2 corners were wide turns and the other 2 were tight turns. The 2 tight turns were so tight, the wear marks disappeared, and cars couldn't turn right from the right lane. But they would go all the way to the left lane to make a right turn (I believe because the middle lanes were straight only so they thought "a turn is a turn"). You can also do this with the turn signal mod, by changing the lane math and making lanes mismatch, they will not drive thru on the lane that does have the marks. I also believe this has something to do with "breaking" the game when doing that, because cars will always go where they're not supposed to go, even if you tell them not to turn there.

Stop saying part 6 or 38 to play a certain game, let the man be

I think the game intentionally models realistic traffic by having some (not all, but some) drivers and pedestrians ignore the signs and crosswalk restrictions. This sometimes causes accidents, though more often it causes traffic jams.

That is literally a dev and player confirmed feature.

For the solar panels, many people play with the sun in a constant position and only in daylight. This causes shadows to remain in the same place. However the game would calculate energy production over a day and the shadow of a tall, relatively thin structure would move across the solar panels over part of a day. It would definitely impact production but not as much as if the panels were in shade throughout the day. Because the shadow moves around the structure having the second solar power station beside the one in shadow was not the best test. To properly test the impact of shadows a solar power station placed beyond the end of the shadow would be better as the shadow wouldn't reach the solar panels. The shadow would move to one of the sides before it get longer as the sun sets. Doing this would see if the develops include shadows in the calculations for how much power is delivered by solar power stations.

you can remove all water from your map using using terrain tools, but sometimes raising the ground will raise the water source some times not. i cant figgure out the pattern, but in one game the water source moved to the max elevation of my map, when i tried to cover it, and stayed there when i lower terrain again. essentially making a glitching waterfall from nothing in the middle of my map. reverted to a precious savegame, and i made it work. ive only ever seen water sources raise with the tarain tool , never been able to lower it

Workers and Resources: Soviet Republic is the city engineering game, while Cities Skylines is the city architecture game ;p Check it out! WRSR buildings need your dump trucks to haul gravel to the site; your trucks to haul excavators, cranes, and steel beams; your buses to drive construction workers, your cement mixers to deliver fresh concrete. Construction takes time and multiple phases: groundwork with excavators, bricklaying by humans, steel assembly by humans on cranes, etc. Road building requires your dozers to level the gravel, your asphalt to be delivered right away (you need an asphalt plant for that, because you can't store it), your pavers to lay it, your rollers to compress it flat, then your workers to install the lighting. Sorry, there are no lane closure cone trucks, so the roads will be closed while you're maintaining them! Most importantly: BRIDGES OF VARIOUS KINDS: wooden planks, steel trusses, brick arches, precast concrete, and more. Bridges for pedestrians, trains, and cars. Anyway, love your videos and would be interested in watching you play WRSR if you were interested!

I think the reason the water didn't flow through the tunnel is because of the upturn of the tunnel at the end. If you have the tunnel come out from underground in a downward direction from a cliff, then it would work.

great video! (as always) Your so close to 2million subscribers! you can do it!

Maybe you should try the first myths with tall buildings instead? It's possible that the hitbox and shade thrown from the terrain has a different set of rules than those of buildings.

Damn, this showed me CS2 is such a step back in some ways, hope it'll get expanded

I have seen a dirt road tunnel in real life. They used a giant metal culvert though. Seems silly to use concrete.

building fires in cities also happen with desasters turned off... just bad luck I guess, usually when I build a new service building in a crowded area, there´ll be a fire in that area within a few minutes :)

Brush size to YES that's how I play this game. I think what is happening with the cars and traffic is that if a car begins a route then it will continue as planned so if you change a road rule, the new rule was not set in the cars travel plan. I've seen this also if a road is changed some cars finish their journey before adopting the new rules/route .
