2:20 that highway design is actually efficient because it is a roundabout. Everyone knows roundabouts fix all your problems. Too much traffic, roundabout. Architects existing, roundabout.

[@stefanomartello3786]

Unless you put an architect on a roundabout project mate... A coworker of the mother of one of my highschool classmates (architect) projected a roundabout in my city. It came up quite cool to see, but a straight up suicide for viability. There are 8 f*ing doube lane roads that flows in a narrow 1lane roundabout. The most stupid project I've ever seen. And the traffic lights are messed up too because there are too many different directions to coordinate. My uncle (engineer) always get mad when he pass in that area by car. 😂 Damn architects...

[@carrandgillfamily8901]

12:10 pro tip for ya - once you have the elevation you want, use the Create Airport Area tool to flatten large areas very fast. Airports require perfectly flat land, so making that area automatically flattens the terrain and deletes all trees and shrubs, and does it faster and in larger areas than the terrain tool itself. Then just delete the airport area, if you want.

I'm guessing the river is also helping drain the water on one side of the city, because the opposite end always gets flooded. Maybe digging another trench along the hills on the riverless side of the city will do the trick

[@tonyhakston536]

I think the road on the side opposite the river is another factor, since it’s a grounded road and thus interrupts the trench.

[@speedy01247]

the water is also flowing outward and thus interfering with the wave. (pushing against it and disrupting it)

[@amythistxue1]

so what I have learned is to protect a city from a Tsunami all you have to do is simply build a replica of the Grand Canyon between the sea and your city

[@jansenart0]

A rippled bottom would probably create vortices that would allow water to more effectively flow over. Like actual hard-sand ripples on a beach.

[@DarvakSondrath]

Conversely, you could keep the sea view by raising the terrain. Either a cliff side city, or a deeply sloped one.

[@MiGlyShebb]

Hey RCE, You can save yourself hours with the "Extra Landscaping Tools" mod ;) "Unto It!" mod is helpful too, Smashing vid anyhoo, crack on!

[@Slowbravic]

Matt, I think your narrow trench needed flood walls up so you could have contoured right up to the walls so your trench would have been narrow, but uniformly shaped so you'd have maintained depth properly. Doing it with the tool itself you have quite a bit of deviation on angles and depth overall.

[@chrism1503]

I did wonder why he didn’t do that. He’s used that technique in plenty of other videos.

[@sainaparbin5389]

Because of the sea view

[@Rogue_Duck]

[@stewiesquirrelladventures]

"You can see the sea. It's over there between the land and the sky!" ~ Basil Fawlty "Fawlty Towers"

[@Taolan8472]

So this provides some helpful insights to how the water actually works. The "water level" continues to proceed along the terrain, depositing little bits of itself as it goes. When it encounters a mountain. It flattens against it, and can sometimes leak a bit above it. There's no actual fluid dynamics at play here, so nothing done before worked the way it looked like it did.

[@DarvakSondrath]

Should build a bridge across the trench so people can still reach the beach... You know, so they can have their family picnics on the beach when the tsunami comes~

[@sirbuttfuq977]

Can you try building a city that is raised up on a mountain with like a massive tunnel through it maybe can have the tsunami go straight under the city

[@Master_Jimmy]

Yes, he should do that.

[@eris9062]

From my shaky understanding of physics/fluid mechanics I assume the reason why a narrow deep trench is more effective than a wide shallow trench is because making it very deep reduces the potential energy of the water significantly, as not only is the city built on a slope but water always tryign to flow towards the lowest point it'd need more energy (in this case momentum) to counteract this, but that momentum is being lost due to the fact it hits the wall curving downwards so the water would sort of ping-pong against the walls constantly hitting itself, whereas with the wide shallow trench the potential energy difference isn't that much so it keeps much of its velocity, as well as not having that ping-pong effect. Please feel free to correct me, I never did physics but I do appreciate learning more. p.s. Keep up the great work Matt

[@boodhoo82]

The river on the left hand side of the map probably helped keep the left side of the city dry at the beginning when you used just canals

[@graysonparks6696]

To keep fluid from sloshing around in trailers, they use baffles, I wonder how well that would work at killing the energy of the tsunami

[@Nareimooncatt]

Baffled trailers aren't as common these days, believe it or not (they are a bit of a pain to wash out). Matt did try something similar to that in his last tsunami video, but the game doesn't model water physics well enough for it to work. The energy of the wave basically passes right through.

[@wuxiagamescentral]

You should check whether the sea level is deeper on that right hand side. It would explain why the wave is bigger over there

[@UltimatePostman]

Hey Matt, REC, That still wasn't a tesla valve. Everyone in the comments complained about it, it was really a suppressor or silencer design. The tesla valve does not have a straight through corridor.

[@HPD1171]

1:15 I actually lived in apartment where the listing mentioned "Water front" and it was literally a small pond that meandered through the community and had two little canals connected to it. I only lived there because it happened to be the cheapest place that was not awful. I just find ti funny what is considered "Water front" property.

[@Bab-pq4ln]

Must've been an architect who listed it...

[@janglenapper]

we need matt to get promoted so he can make a real city for a video.

[@patheddles4004]

Two thoughts that might be of interest: - "Sea view" is a much broader term when the sea gets lifted up 100m+ - Pumps don't spoil the sea view if you put them down inside canals...

[@JesseCianFawcett]

Started playing this game yesterday, and made my first attempt against the tsunami before bed. Managed to stop it in front of the city with a ditch-wall-ditch-wall-ditch, the walls about half as tall as the wind turbines. Some water still got around the sides though, because I need to figure out what mods to use to be able to use all areas from the start, but it did little damage other than to water infrastructure. Also figure smaller walls are more realistic--building a big ditch basically just requires lots of explosives and vehicles to remove the debris, but building a large solid wall is another matter entirely.
