[@Gwilo]

what a lovely video! small game suggestions: - the wires for the electric things turn red when the next power tower thing is too far away, or green when they're close enough - nothing else because this game seems so unnecessarily well-done at such an early stage that it is thoroughly impressive

[@za0hire718]

Your game looks awesome, even at this early stage. Keep up the work :)

[@kronosbach5263]

Just an idea I'll spitball out: If we consider the size of the town, maybe we should have that the Town doesn't inherantly produce it's own electricity: A substation will be the cheaper building that supplies electricity produced from other towns (via large cabal lines that go ofscreen), but if a town decides to create it's own power. that could be considered a route for a specific economic niche. Especially if that very town happens to have a nearby coal mine, or imports uranium for nuke energy. Or have a shitload of solar fields.Basically, Electricity would be a viable resource for economic competion with other towns.

A question sir? How do you know what scale to make the houses/buildings to match the road/cars? Did you start with the size of the road and went from there? "A car should then be..." and "a house..." ?

At the beginning I just eyeballed it but recently I looked up the dimensions of real streets/cars/houses and improved the proportions with that.

@@AAlexDoesStuff do you use 1 meter in Blender as 1 meter in real life when it comes to buildings etc?

Which engine are you use

[@AAlexDoesStuff]

Unity

[@petersmythe6462]

Meltdowns don't cause nuclear explosions. A moderated fissioning core cannot undergo runaway, and an unmoderated, fast neutron fissioning core is far too radioactive to be compressed to the point that runaway would lead to rapid consumption of the fuel before it blows itself apart. In order to cause a nuclear explosion you would need a reactor that is not emitting many neutrons, i.e. one that is not turned on, to be rapidly compressed well beyond the point of criticality, and then bombarded with neutrons from a separate source at the point of maximum supercriticality. Or you would need it to be even more supercritical so that within~20 shakes it goes from a single neutron to consuming the entire fuel. None of these are possible with any known reactor design. No, not even the ones used in Fukushima, Chernobyl, or three mile island. None of those created nuclear explosions. None of them could conceivably create nuclear explosions by accident or by intentional abuse of the reactor, or even by extensively modifying the reactor while allowing it to remain operable. If it is a functioning reactor, it absolutely cannot cause a nuclear detonation large enough to consume an appreciable fraction of the fuel before obliterating itself in a toxic mess but ultimately with a yield more comparable to chemical explosions then nuclear ones (and most designs shouldn't even be able to achieve that).

It would be great if there was a global variable that was oil price and would impact the fossil fuel electricity and the rate of walking/car in the city.

[@AAlexDoesStuff]

That's an interesting idea but I don't even know if I'll implement oil in the game, so if I decide to do it I'll consider it :)

@@AAlexDoesStuff well, if you are implementing CO2 and cars does have sense 🤔🤔 In any case i think that some random global variables gives some extra flavour to the games if they are cosmetic/have little influence.

This already is URP. Most of the time you're actually quite far away from the buildings in a city building game, so I tried to optimize the lighting for far distances and as a result, being too close doesn't look extremely good.

The radiation emitted by a power plant is not environmentally friendly at all - climate friendly, at best

[@AAlexDoesStuff]

That's not true, a nuclear powerplant in Germany is allowed to emit a maximum of 0.01 mSv per year. Is this a lot? If you live in Germany you are generally exposed to roughly 2.1 mSv per year, on coastal regions in Brasil you're exposed to 80 mSv per year. A flight from Frankfurt to New York will net you 75 - 150 mSv. This happens due to the cosmic radiation or geological radiation and is currently believed harmless up to 100mSv per year. ( German source: www.focus.de/panorama/welt/tsunami-in-japan/wissenschaftliche-hintergruende/unsere-taegliche-dosis-strahlung_id_2059545.html#:~:text=Normal%20sind%20Werte%20um%200,2%2C1%20Millisievert%20im%20Jahr. )

[@AAlexDoesStuff]

You're right I mixed some numbers up with the 0.01 mSv. I totally agree that nuclear is not good and not an end solution especially with the nuclear waste and weak safety masseurs in other countries. Yet the study linked to radiation sickness has a lot of weaknesses that were pointed out later and similar studies in other countries weren't able to replicate the results at all ( www.ssk.de/SharedDocs/Beratungsergebnisse/2008/Kikk_Studie.html ). Generally if you look at studies it's very important to find multiple studies confirming the same result, being double blind (meaning that neither the people making the study nor participants know to which group they belong) and that the sample size is big enough. And most importantly correlation doesn't mean causation.
