[@Ayor88]

any chance you share the settings and your hardware config ? I want to buy the game but I'm afraid it won't run well enough to enjoy playing it. Btw, I really enjoy the "educational part" where you share knowledge. This could be more developped if you find the right game for it

How can there be any architect cities in the fanbase...🙄🙄

​@@Sigurd_13, good point, but I'm sure there are unskilled engineers among the fans. ;)

I could 100% watch architect Matt create complete craziness for a city just to see architect fixer engineer Matt to make something reliable and reasonable out of the architectural disaster

[@notthatbad42]

Official proof Matt is actually not an engineer: 00:56 “If I was an engineer”

Same. I could as well.

It’s like a quirky KZbin apology. Well done Matt. I know it was probably really difficult to face what you did but we forgive you.

Matt missing an opportunity to say “a solution to the poolution” 3:45

[@viniciusdeluca]

Isn't the Matt that we knew. Maybe someone as acting as Matt

[@MichaelfromtheGraves]

Built a giant road parallel to an existing highway? Definitely an engineer.

[@marcinkowalczyk647]

i'd love for you to take up the challenge of the mini grid city

[@Syaniiti]

Honestly don't limit it to mini grids but just 1x1, 2x2, ... up to 6x6 grids, need to provide cheaper places for people to rent after all, due to the immense demand such a city will have (and nice 6x6 places for the people with jobs in larger than 1x1 industries). We must have Gridtopia! Might need to have bigger grids for educational purposes (since certain buildings are too big to fit in a 6x6) but I think we can look past that until mods happen.

[@RT-qd8yl]

Little SanFran?

[@iiMoha]

Matt: Haha cities on one grid, can you build a city like that? Manhattan: *looks nervously*

[@brandonerson8581]

How about a "Saving your disaster cities" series, inspired by Legendoftotalwar's "Saving your disaster campaigns". BTW Sewers Canal earned you a like.

I hope we get to see a micro grid city

[@vincentking2552]

I would love to see Biffa fix the city. He's been engineering thousands of city fixes in the past. 💜

[@elsewhereprince3969]

I love hearing about how actual engineers do their work. Very enjoyable.

[@Nanorobotic]

Genuinely a little sad that this wasn't an episode of him fixing Lets Game It Out's city. You haven't seen broken until you've unleashed Josh on a creative environment.

[@DirtyMirror2011]

Fantastic video as always! I think Ductapia could really benefit from some decent public transport underground (if possible with the tunnels lol) so residents can get around much faster than the crazy roads currently allow.

[@mattm7220]

In this episode: Matt turns Architopia into London by recreating the Thames

[@damsonrhea]

"If I was an Engineer," huh? I see, I see.

[@Idiot354]

0:56 "if i WAS an engineer" SO YOU ARENT! We know it Matt, dont try to hide it you *ARCHITECT*

I would love to see what Biffa would do with your city at the start of the video.

Two things I learned to play this game by watching this channel lol! and 2 "That house failed because of architecture" I was dying lol.

[@Roconnor84]

Love your content Bro!!!! Keep it coming

[@liberalideas8224]

Very cool video, maybe one of my favorite of yours. I was entertained and learned a thing :)

[@brabhamfreaman166]

4:59 “That one [house] actually collapsed because it was designed with architecture” had me rolling😂😂

[@recoilgaming4123]

Did anyone notice when Matt said the one guy left the town. In the right hand corner as soon as he said that you can see his car driving out of town lol.

[@gamer-x2173]

"We respect trees" Proceeds to kill a small tree less than 30 seconds later

[@gwenturo9550]

Electricity is a great way to farm XP; don't know if you've done a video on this, but you can essentially set up a small town, mine lots of rock, tax the sh*t out of the "minerals" good, and make several hundred million per month until you unlock the nuclear plant, at which point you can place and bulldoze it over and over to get 10k XP each time until you've reached megalopolis, unlocking everything and essentially speedrunning CS2. It's so broken and easy that I amassed a playtime of merely 4 hours before realizing I could do this, some of which was spent AFK.

[@KaratGamez]

Matt: Trying to avoid trees, because trees have been there longer than we have. So it’s not fair that they get chopped down just because I want my people to have drinking water. Also Matt: We have a straight line to the sea, which of course we’re allowed to pollute because the de is massive. It will dilute.

[@Syaniiti]

Well, the sea is larger than the trees, if there had been a tree the size of the ocean he might've cut a tiny piece of it to make way for the road.

[@corebinik243]

You know what would be fun? Run a contest where we make the worst city possible and have matt fix it :)

[@vancouverstuff284]

Day 121 of asking Matt to add the Second Narrows Bridge, Ironworkers Memorial to the Wheel of Bridgetune It is a cantilevered truss bridge, carrying 6 lanes of traffic from Vancouver to North Vancouver in B.C. across the second narrowing of the Burrard Inlet. It's name comes from the fact that it collapsed twice during construction, which unalived 23 people in total (Hence the name, ironworkers memorial).

[@skittleman5630]

i really like this video idea. fixing a terrible city but not being allowed to delete stuff kind of working with the bad things

[@macilaci92]

Matt i love when you actually speak about engineering in details

[@magicstudio11]

I was scrolling and saw this video.I remembered all the happy memories I have watching your vids and I was shocked of how I forgot about your channel. This is is literally the first time I seen your channel again in years and I’m happy I did see it lol

[@notme-js4os]

I just had a thought at 19:50 where Matt talks about Architects doing crime, they might be the remnants that wish to overthrow the things that he engineers to preserve their architectural lifestyles

[@TheCatstronaut]

i am not an architect, but my adhd would be making thousands of roads, non symmetrical, and i would just be like "more roads, who cares about how many hours google maps is gonna have to calculate to get to one place, and also ignore the 4593457345 dollar of debt we have." an engineer would cry at this idea.

[@batshit36]

It was quite fun watching Matt Explain the actual theory behind the engineering for the drainage

[@boskone]

That poo is distressingly red. I'm no doctor, but I can't help but think that they should go get that checked.

[@thenon-vapingsubie]

This is good, Matt. 👏🏼 for a hot minute I thought you we’re going to change into the Real Civil Architect. That would have been a dark day for sure

[@oyora]

I have tried the mini city on cities skylines 1. it was awesome. especially using the pedestrian walkways! definitely recommend trying it out.

[@dylandepetro4187]

Hrm… maybe you should have your editors create challenge cities in city skylines II for you to fix? Would make a decent series.

[@PinAple_man]

i can watch infinite of matts videos without getting bored these are insane

[@llananicolee]

I discovered your channel this morning and I think I’ve now binge watched at least 20 vids . Think I’ve found my new comfort creator

[@hambonejones7231]

Putting a Band-Aid on a poorly designed system, definitely an engineer. Big fan btw

[@vegmonster]

Here’s a video idea: Your only goal is to make the population as high as possible, you can forget about everything else and just try to get thousands of people into your city 😁

[@nateoh2139]

"I know exactly how big my... my ditch needs to be." Efficiency nearly slipped in there, I think

[@TechHunterOfficial]

4:44 RCE is calling out dogs! Paddy wouldn't be happy

[@wolffriend116]

Could we get a equilateral triangle city where all roads meet at 60 degree angles? No Roundabouts, no curves, all angles are 60 degrees. Would make for an interesting grid system

[@genehenson8851]

I have an amazing tip for everyone. It’s really important so make sure you can read this uninterrupted. This is such a cool secret. The only thing you have to remember is that whenever you *Electricity Network Online*

[@squarebodycasewademckenney6190]

The chaos of those roads are putting my OCD in overdrive AHHHH lol

[@alcbaz]

Who’s for a fun day out at the cemetery followed by a nice stroll along the poo stream. 😂

[@rakly3473]

"There's always going to be gangs of architects." -That one got me belly laughing :D

[@tarrantwolf]

"Drinking Liquid Poo" sounds like an engineers idea for a punk band name. Matt, are you the lead "singer" of Drinking Liquid Poo?

[@punchy77855]

As an architect student with a minor in civil engineering, this hurt me to see. But I could definitely see an architect doing this if they were to run a city.

[@Moraenil]

When I see crazy poop handling designs, all I can think of is CallMeKevin and his crazy stuff that goes even more horribly wrong thanks to natural disasters. Really enoy watching the messed up builds AND the fixes. It'd be a really cool series to get truly messed up stuff from other people and then fix it completely. That'd be fun. I learn a lot about how to properly do stuff here. Never really knew there was a rivalry between architects and engineers though. Interesting!

[@Epic-ix8el]

0:57 "If I were an engineer..." legit proof he is not an engineer and is indeed an architect.

[@richardsillett3988]

Thank you for going into detail on the "getting poo to flow out of town" mechanics

[@mrbatmaxx]

Matt: reduces taxes, "hopefully that will start attracting some population to here..." the only resident leaves the city instantly....

[@williamodavis]

Matt has betrayed us, he has been swayed by the architects

[@sammysadventure8946]

to improve the horrible lifes of citizens from this city? I don't see the problem at all

Engineer working for government: Takes 6 months looking at obvious problem. Then has a sandwich and looks some more while they lecture passers by about what they are planning stuff... 2 years later the first workers arrive to remove sidewalks and dig a bit in the ground - taping off a huge area. 7 years go by and then when city contract is almost up the work gets finished over night and Engineers slip away in the dead of night...
