Building airport runways UNDER the highway in Cities Skylines!

[@fhdgfyh]

Surprised you didn't attempt to build the airport under architect village, 'underwater'! Noise pollution, 'other' pollution, those architects gotta love ya.

Slowly?

No it's worse, he's just an architect, making pretty pictures, pretending it's engineering.

[@rudyfareseid8477]

Even when Matt tries to talk professionally about a city layout you know the strongest shape is coming into play!

[@TheBrettDuncan]

Building a city that's below sea level right next to a dam (levy) that's holding a catastrophic amount of water back...you just created New Orleans.

Isn't that kind of the same as a Dutchie speaking?

[@B-1_Battle_Droid]

As a Dutch person I can confirm that we all live behind a giant dam and a shit load of pumps.

[@rickswordfire4774]

You should connect the bridges to one another, so that anyone trying to get across has to go over ALL the bridges.

[@monika.alt197]

As an aviation expert, I can confirm that a runway under a highway is completely safe. Pilots will definitely not rotate at the right time and strike the highway.

[@blacksarlacc91]

Definitely not the wrong way round. Never let (landed) planes go over the bridge and put the road on the ground level. That would totally not work... (Frankfurt airport)

as a current architecture student i get mixed feelings watching this channel lol

[@hellothere2808]

Go and find an island in the middle of a poo volcano and stay there.

Switch courses. Architecture is a cult that absorbs young people into it, sacrifice will occur of you stay for too long.

[@EzmarVoD]

I love how doing the water "as realistically as possible" has gone from the initial thesis statement of the series to an actually funny gag as the series has progressed.

[@viktoraggerholm5102]

You can place a emergency pumping service (I can't remember the actual name) that will send out trucks to pump water from the flooded areas

[@zacleng7805]

The strongest road layout reveal was class. I knew what was coming but it was still funny.

[@takumi2023]

You can turn off snapping when building roads. There's alot of options. Turn off angle, road length and nodes. This will let you freestyle your roads and it won't snap to any of those things. If you click on pollution option you can see what pipes are polluted.

[@f1fan806]

As someone from the Netherlands. You are very right about 12:34

[@renton9999]

you should have left those pipes in place, me thinks it is possible they were still connected vertically to the poo island, and the moment you took them out the system lost a vital part

[@monad_tcp]

the same thing happened to my house when my father severed the earth connection, power was passing through it somehow, now all incandescent lamps keep burning out, and the microwave is "funny", when I turn off one of the phases (microwave isn't 220v thou, that means some neutral isn't really a neutral, but it still works, I put a new beefier capacitor, it won't blow up anymore, its a super-cap ), dammit, my stock of lamps is running out and they don't make those anymore. also, who knows were the fucking ground loop is on this 40yo installation. and my aircon unit also blew up some fuses and I also put a super-cap on it. I put caps on everything ! my computer didn't literally burn out because I have a true inverting UPS that I retrofitted with motorcycle batteries and a big cooler and more newer caps. that ground wire was vital to the network, it was a load bearing grounding wire and don't ask about GFCI, here we don't have those, that's why they call me Raiden.

[@DanielLamando]

I think at 15:20 you can briefly see that part flooded before he started touching the pipes

[@TalosLordOfNight]

I feel like his whole experience in this game is built around the core concept that the more people you have the more poop floods there are.

[@lionelmartin1]

Please never stop this series, it‘s my absolute favourite!!

[@reighzhor1058]

I do believe that because you connected all of the mega pumps to the grid that eventually makes it's way to the poo-cano, it has overflowed the top and caused an eruption, if you will.

[@tjfinn4616]

The road design at 13:39 looks like the strongest shape. Well done!

As for "how to get rid of the water" I'd just try to make the river a bit wider, ideally buy some more tiles if possible. Also make the edges of the river a bit higher or maybe use quays. As long as it doesn't keep flowing into the land from the river it should dry up from its own in some time.

[@giorgosvr09]

I think your attempt to create a perpetual motion machine using make-believe video-game physics is a truly admirable and genuinely constructive way to spend one's time!

[@joshrenmydublin9261]

Just looking at the thumbnail makes you realize that an engineer did this. The pollution, noise and a un bearing amount of pain to the architects, long live the Real Civil Engineer! Also a game I suggest is a game called "Theotown" it's a fun game and it can help you express your engineering skills.

[@michaelr2604]

Matt I encourage you to read the strong towns book particularly the part about "stroads." A stroad is a road that is trying to be a street and thus fails at both. Streets are end destinations roads are highspeed transit between destinations.

[@nickrzeczkowski9531]

A cable car tour of the airport would be lovely

[@anglooitan6925]

hey, i suggest building another poocano, so that you not only can store more poo, you can also trap more architects, generate more power and more tourism

I don't know why, but that creak at 10:12 had me laughing my ass off!

[@brandonyoung-kemkes1128]

Raise the elevation of the land behind your dams around the intake so you don’t get the ripples. I played for hours until I came upon on that solution and it didn’t matter what size dam I made as long as I made that modification to the topography it would work. Without all of the waves.

The water physics in the game are what causes these water spouts. The draw distance of the game plays into it, you might be able to tweak settings to get it to behave properly.

[@CesarBaaren]

Omgosh! You created back to the future part 2 when biff gets his sports almanac 😂

[@adamith360]

do some terraforming of your river so the outlet is wider than the inlet. This way the water will want to flow downstream and will resist back-flooding

[@SS2LP]

Going under the highway doesn’t even seem weird to me but that’s maybe because I was born in the Chicago area and used to regularly see O’hare airport which has planes travel over a highway via a bridge. This is actually probably safer in a lot of regards since if the plane were to go off by accident it wouldn’t land on a busy road way full of cars. Though I imagine the winds would make landing an absolute nightmare so maybe not.

[@tdblocks9445]

Thank you for building the netherlands, I'am very proud of you.

[@Snowwie88]

You should install the "Extra Landscaping Mod", then you can add/remove watersources

[@Average-Joe851]

I think the flooding might have been a side effect of all the pumps you put in. If you compare the area (the area which would be flooded) at 1:03 to 1:55, you may notice a large increase in the number of sick people, flooded, and abandon buildings in the background. The only change during that time is the pumps. I am theorizing that due to the sudden change in the water, the water physics engine might have had a butterfly effect. I am not a dev. I am just guessing based on the wacky water engine effect we've seen through out your videos. Edit: Just looked at the map in the other video and see that the area is Lewis Shaw Mountain and the Last Place You'll Ever Visit.

[@darkxwizzard]

the Poolution is strong in this one

[@horatioyen256]

2:58 less energy is made by the dam then used by the pumps edit: ok nvm it did when another youtuber did it but i guess the dam is bigger or something

Honestly, that was the work of the architects. I’m obviously sure that the pilots were engineers.

[@mr_kirk42]

did you know you can change the style of some of the buildings? you should make an European style building area in Engitopia!

[@Robespierre-lI]

Airports would be much more interesting if you could build over them in the real world. Or if they could be on top of cities instead of in the outskirts. But that urbanist idea never took off. What a shame. The multilevel city is one of the most appealing unfulfilled ideas in architectural history. I assume the engineers got in the way of that.

[@coreydevore7619]

I absolutely lost it when Matt with a lighter showed up :D

[@Mr.Pixie.]

Just buy all the land down stream and your flooding problem is solved! They are trying to sell the land before the cavern of sinkholes below the river collapses anyway.
