Can engineering STOP A 1000FT TSUNAMI in Cities Skylines?

We're back in Cities Skylines (City Skyline) engineering a way to stop a huge tsunami from wiping out my city. Can I put my real life drainage knowledge into practice to build an unfloodable city that can withstand a tsunami? The five step process all real engineers use is in place!

As a fellow engineer, I was listening to the 5 step process thinking “this doesn’t seem a robust system”…then the punchline happened and I physically groaned

[@jimskywaker4345]

same, especualy when he said impact was to do with a flood wall's strength, impact as far as I'm aware is basicly allways the effect it has on the area when being normal, but i stopped myself half way through because i'm a student and he is a profesonal enginere so he probably knows better only for it to be a joke

Not a particularly realistic tsunami, but it is interesting that the game's fluid model causes the water level at the shore to fall before the tsunami front arrives. That happens in real life as well - during the 2004 Indonesian tsunami a guy who had read about that behavior in Scientific American managed to get a bunch of people to high ground ahead of the tsunami, likely saving their lives.

@@JP-rp2lh it is and at least in the last steam sale it was like five or six euros. It has even a little more to it, but the sand shifting to build dams and create lakes is the main game, but the tribes people get new tech and more modern buildings, if you take good care of them and depending on the settings, go to war with each other if the social gap is to big (like if you only care for the ones on one half of the map) and there is stuff like natural disaster settings....

You might be interested to know about the Vajont dam disaster in Italy. The area surrounding the dam was deemed geologically unstable but the company running the dam purposely hid this from authorities. They were expecting a landslide and a resulting Tsunami of around 25 metres high and thought the dam could block the Tsunami. Because of this they did not inform the villages in the below valley. Turns out the landslide was a lot larger than expected and it resulted in a mega tsunami that went over the dam and into the valley below causing around 2000 deaths. The dam still exists today, though it's no longer in operation.

Repent and follow Jesus my friend! Repenting doesn't mean confessing your sins to others, but to stop doing them altogether. Belief in Messiah alone is not enough to get you into heaven - Matthew 7:21-23, John 3:3, John 3:36 (ESV is the best translation for John 3:36). Contemplate how the Roman empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13. Revelation 17 confirms that it is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years to accomplish the religion of the Israelites C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate though because you can start a relationship with God and have proof. Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life. - Revelation 3:20 Revelation has been unfolding since Jesus died. The Popes have claimed to be equal to God and set themselves in Jesus' place (antichrist(s)). Vatican City (Which is its own nation BTW) have risen up to fulfill the role of the false prophet Regarding the man of lawlessness or antichrist, 2 Thessalonians 2:4 says “Who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sits in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.” The restrainer that the Apostle Paul was referring to in 2 Thessalonians was the Western Roman Emperor, who held back the Popes from taking power. Once the last Western Roman Emperor was removed from power in 476 AD, the Pope was given civil and ecclesiastic authority over Rome; healing the deadly head wound of the beast in Revelation 13, as they took the Emperors title of Pontifex Maximus, leader of the church and state. “We may according to the fullness of our power, dispose of the law and dispense above the law. Those whom the Pope of Rome doth separate, it is not a man that separates them but God. For the Pope holdeth place on earth, not simply of a man but of the true God.” (Source: “Decretals of Gregory IX,” Book 1, chapter 3.) Pope Pius V blasphemed, “The Pope and God are the same, so he has all power in Heaven and earth.” (Source: Pope Pius V, quoted in Barclay, Cities Petrus Bertanous Chapter XXVII: 218.) Pope Leo XIII declared, “We hold upon this earth the place of God Almighty.” (Source: Pope Leo XIII Encyclical Letter, June 20, 1894) The antichrist sea beast of Revelation points to the office of the papacy, the Popes of Rome, who controlled the Roman beast for 1,260 years, from 538-1798 AD. Daniel 7:25 says “And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.” The Popes of Rome spoke against Elohim and proclaimed to be God. They reigned for 1,260 years, from 538-1798 AD. during which they caused tens of millions of saints to be killed. The Pope’s title is Vicar of Christ, which in Latin is ‘Vicarius Filii Dei’, and equates numerically to the number 666

Make last few walls behind trenches (nearest city) equal to two tiers high. (City can still view ocean). Use [1/4th water pump stations] wider distance between trench/wall/pump station (sets) . Using more soil encased by thick enough concrete should stretch out concrete to line the wider trenches. May require more overall concrete but be smart on qty “needed”. City should be saved. Plenty ground for island fruit trees for Tourist revenue. If flooded, replant. Beachfront “few” green natural built shops, restaurants.(if biodegrade naturally in ocean easy rebuild and cheaper.)

[@RandomBenie]

Its great, because it makes me think of the great flood stories of the world. Considering Glaciers in the Ice Age were possibly hundreds of meters tall, when they started melting and started breaking off and falling into the ocean, they would of created enough displacement to make this tsunami look like a baby. Waves of that scale would wipe out anything and everything. And if you look at many ancient cities closest to the end of the ice age, i think none were by coast lines. All inland next to major rivers, as if there was something to be scared of enough of to forego the absolute bounty of food that is the ocean and its shoreline. Its not like people weren't fishing. The fished the rivers absolutely fine. Fear and stories that were told on for years, and simply through generational changes as people make the stories more and more grand untill they become unbelievable. And so we have the many flood stories around the world that portray a legend of a person saving people who in reality probably was probably just a guy who owned the biggest boats in their towns and managed to survive but now they are back fully in the stone age. Human history resets. A Story always has a beginning and a source. And considering that prior to 150 years ago, entertainment was talking around a fire, telling each other bigger and more ridiculous stories for thousands of years, stories were of people and their feats. Terrifying animals. Anything. Its makes sense that a person who saved their people would have the story told over a campfire for as long as there was someone left to tell it to.

[@smartassist9700]

At grass/beach start your wider trenches same angles as before. Behind each trench build first set of same angle walls with fair number of pump stations. Build fewer trenches but wider as you go back. The walls behind trenches taller as you get closer to city. Highways straight to ocean passing over walls on tall piers (oval concrete piers for ease of water flow from ocean to inland.)

[@williamlaprarie3007]

I was goofing around with one a while back I created sub surface channels and some inverted tesla flumes along the coast without building a 100 foot wall, the idea was to take the feet out from under it Basically "tripping it" then redirect the surge, dispersing it along the shore.

10:33 - I had an idea. What if you kept that walled mountain as before. Do a slope into the bottom, and create a drain exit where the water can push out into the ocean? And the city is pushed further away from the coast, with another mountain, except this time, you create a bunch of drain exits near the end where the water drains into the bottom, and filters itself out into the ocean like the first one?

Genuinely thought the 5 step engineering whatnot was actually serious, and it is, but then he mentioned the punchline 😂 🤣

[@SnakoGamez]

You are the reason I downloaded this game and I love it

4:36 He sounded so jolly when he said that…

Man... They cut out arguably the best part of the video. Watching a real engineer design a city is what originally drew me to this as one of my favourite series.... that is until...... The incident. Now that spot rests safely and untarnishably with Infra. Such a shame the actual engineering bits were replaced with pee pee poo poo jokes imo

[@schultheismatthius]

what incident?

[@spacepuppy7059]

What incident?

[@rachelcookie321]

What incident x3?

[@Joogaberry]

Incident what??

[@MrDevintcoleman]

This would be a really cool setting for a D&D city in a water world-type environment.

[@hsnell1222]

I can imagine the pumps being a long lost technology, no one knows what they do or why they pump, just that if they ever stop, it will be the end of civilisation.

It’s crazy that I haven’t seen anything from this game on KZbin for atleast the past 2 years and earlier I was thinking about playing this game like back in 2015 on my old Mac and then boom. 45 minutes later KZbin suggested this video. Crazy.

11:27 there’s a better way

My headcanon is that the pumps but the water into (very) large holding tanks to be shipped to desalination plants to make drinking water, salt, and other elements that can be reclaimed from the brine left over after desalination.

[@fwiptsb1690]

you make me feel good when i watch your vids❤❤

[@DarkWarriorShadowClaw]

Sadly there are no super water pumps in real life. They could be very handy in cases of flood protection ^^

This is the type of video that is pushing me to get my biology degree. I also want to use my full capability to... I don't know... Maybe design a zoo that would not only treat the animals as kings but to use the humans as food for their new masters? Just a thought. Thank you Mr engineer.

[@sannemar3358]

I haven't watched your video's for a little while and got very happy hearing the 'hello fellow engineers!' again

[@RealCivilEngineerGaming]

Welcome back!

Bringing back some memories of me as a kid on the beach defending my sand castles. Except for the pumps my strategy was the same.
