I burned all my money on a 1000m DEEP PIT in Cities Skylines 2!

Part 13 of Engitopia returns! We're checking out Cities Skylines 2 (City Skyline 2) today, and this time I burn all my money on building a hell pit for the architects of my city...

[@EricTheBlue2010]

Nuclear is like half the cost/mw than wind..... Matt's math is architect level

[@Mike__B]

The upkeep alone makes Nuclear 3 times more efficient than wind and that's based on the MAX wind production, and that's not even counting the upkeep required at the transformer station. Oh well, Matt will be Matt.

[@luzellemoller6621]

HES AGING AHHH

[@jackdesanta69]

But you can only build one

[@hariskhan01]

I am used to Matt not finding efficient solutions at this point.

[@user-sc2of6fr8t]

[@myusernameisthisduh]

MATT: does the math and finds wind turbines to be twice the cost per MW of nuclear. MAtt: WOW WIND IS WAY CHEAPER LETS BUILD THESE

[@Rew-nd99]

I heard that

[@pseudocoder78]

Not to mention the nuclear plant is way cheaper per MW per month so the margin gets much wider over time. And for the first month it's actually exactly equal.

[@Hollywood113807]

I had to re listen, I thought I was going mad

[@chailatte312]

Architect math

[@ikeray1837]

@@pseudocoder78 and to boot, the wind turbines are all low voltage and he has to now pay upkeep on transformers

[@Mike__B]

Matt I believe you need an account's area in your city, because listening to you argue for wind turbines just hurt my head, you said it costs 22.5k per MW for the nuclear plant for year one, then 41k for a wind turbine the first year then declared 41k was "way cheaper"

You should name the prison “architraz” because it just suits it so much

@@WINBcab I think the joke he made before was AlCRAPtraz, because it's surrounded by poo.

​@@Amogsusiskindasus He played the game But little did he know, he was the architect

[@BlackjackMain]

I've been doing my own city skylines 2 playthrough, and my city is currently level 12 when I discovered a trick to make a lot more money. Drop electrity and water tax so you get a +5 happieness from each, the little money you make from the tax is nothing compared to the money people spend when they're more happy. I went from barley making money to a +3 arrow. I left my city running over night, and i went from 1-ish mil to 22mil (would've been more but new special building paused my game). Seriously, give it a try, and money will be flowing. You can also individualize what specific groups get taxed if you expand each section.

[@taylor....]

RCE:- "IT'S SO EXPENSIVE!" also RCE:- **builds 20 cemeteries side by side**

[@BrotherAlpha]

And then he wonders why this city struggles so much while his one-off gimmick cities thrive.

[@Rock-pq6so]

He admitted that he's a click bait engineer ! He's an architect.

[@corsac_]

yup especially since landscaping doesn’t cost anything lol

[@crewkid52]

Game: Hey there's a lot of poo Matt: *N e v e r m i n d t h a t h e r e ' s a H e l l P i t*

13:48 CAREFUL MATT! You almost hit a plane!

[@RT-qd8yl]

He's gonna need to copy a phone number from the tower

[@chrrmin1979]

8:21-8:27 Doing a job right now where the architect thought we could curve our sheet vinyl and put a ton of pointless curves in the blueprint. They continue throughout the rooms and hallways... that have opaque walls so nobody will ever be able to tell unless they look at the blueprint

[@carlsiouxfalls]

Architect Matt is Engineer Matt's own worst enemy.

[@Weazle13XIII]

That "I want it to mimic the alps" felt a little too real, like it came from a real conversation Matt had

[@thelawngnomeslayer]

Talk about a literal money pit lol

[@Syber8888]

RCE the central bank boosts export prices so get that so your electricity sells for more

[@Brian-xe8ny]

Hearing “So much poop its coming out the front” while getting my snacks ready i almost lost it 😂 💀

[@AnagramGinger]

“Should the US government stop dumping money into a giant hole” the onion. Good skit

[@venomousgoose5023]

8:43 "make it pointless and curved" That felt like a personal attack 😢

[@LeverActionLarry]

Make the road curvy to "mimic the Alps" 😂 good stuff

[@LZho]

you could made some specialized industries and raise the tax to 15% for them ( the raw materials only ) , i did that on my city and now i'm getting money like hundreds of millions per hour, and sometimes it bugged like the starts of each month then i getting minus income,but as time goes i got back to surplus income like before

WTF RCE?? Editor Jack take the night off??? I was sure I was gonna get a cut to “QUICK MATH”

Matt, you don’t understand, heavengineer would be hell for the architects

[@soldaatjhu]

0:42 Duesbury Bridge. At first I thought it said Doesburg Bridge, Doesburg being my home town! A really small obscure city in The Netherlands! Too bad :(

[@YourLocalJoe123]

MATT DOESN'T KNOW ABOUT ARCHITECTURAL ENGINEERING 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Mizuulors]

I love this game which is odd considering these types of games are generally so far from the things I like… but it’s so fun lol I’m interested to see how this series progresses

[@Chrivs]

You should make the Dam Lower so the Pop Water will flow down faster!

[@4N1M05IT7]

0:08 bros wild for this...

[@voniak]

The price to build the wind turbines for them to make the exact amount of the nuclear power plant is around 3M, that’s 2 Million cheaper. BUT. The upkeep is over the double, 2.2M

[@georgH]

love the unexpected plane at 13:49

[@Zonkdonktonk]

Peer Pressure here! Time to play FrostPunk! The engineers need your help! You going to let the architects win!?

[@egornick9206]

2:10 Ummm. You know what you actually need to choose the upgrade and then place it on (sometimes near) the building, don't you?

[@liamwhite2398]

You should make a city called: Architects are the best, the city is built for architects to live in and enjoy, and the name is to lure them in to the city as they think it is a good place to live. Now when you get to a good population size you should cut it off from the rest of the world and destroy the city or something like that.

"Mayor, what did you do with all our taxes? I built this 1000 meter deep pit. "Why?" Why not? *looks down the hole* "Why?"

[@konrad1428]

Did RCE ever tell us which artichect hurt him so much?

[@frollard]

Game company needs to sponsor a video with a full copy of the game. Would watch the shit out of this.

[@MrFlodo]

Just pause most of the cemeteries or graveyards to stop paying the upkeep For them well. Will still look just as good!

[@CosmicAggressor]

Oh does this game have water phisics now? I sort of quit because I could not figure out how to turn imported sewage into exported power taking money from both ends of the process. The game is pretty opaque on how to import and export anything but power

[@drakegod84]

You know it's funny, the one thing I realized after looking at all this shit, is that their is no fishing pond amenities or fisheries or offshore oil fields. That needs to be an update.

[@ChernofTschernobyl994]

We need another prison for the architects and a storage for the nuclear power plant.

[@oliverduke1173]

Cemetery upkeep 🤑? Literally Egyptian pyramids.

[@elbandor6763]

With all this poop you are collecting, Engipoopia is also a fitting name. Ngl

[@205badger3]

Should have made the hole triangular, since engineers love triangles I guess architects hate them.

[@HesmiyuMC]

It is only now I've realised the shapes in the residential district.

"No one wants to live here, so next time I'll look to expand and probably fix this area." How about fix it, and then expand.

[@blob0000]

My city makes 11 million per hour. Yes. That's right. I have like 120'000 residents and I don't know how I am making so much money

[@gxostghost]

the waste treatment doesnt make sewage water but does pollute the ground

[@aegixxer1]

Should have used "Quick Math!" to compute cost per MW. You wouldn't have gotten confused.

[@ag4765]

Lol, i can't when rc say about making the hearses drive a long distance to warm up the body and make it stinky like that was diabolical. Imagine hating someone that you deliberately make people take a long time to send their bodies so that it rot lol

[@MrGreat2489]

Matt hates architects yet stilll builds a reasting place for them.Dumping them into the poo lake has left the chat

[@DaedruTV]

Only episode where the architects won.

[@TheThreatenedSwan]

Burning "money." Riiiiight. If that's what you want to call what you did to those thousands of architects

[@boobooplays7289]

Real Civil Architect

[@konstantinfischer8180]

I just quickly did the Calculation to check which is cheaper : Nuclear : Purchase: 5 000 000 Upkeep : 1. 000 000 Produce 750 Mw 6 000 000/750 = 8000 Therefore nuclear costs 8000 per Mw. Wind : Purchase : 25 000 Upkeep : 15 000 Produces 5 Mw 40 000/5 = 8000 Therefore wind costs 8000 per Mw

[@jesioterofficial527]

Upkeep is per month. So if you want to calculate the cost per MW for the first year you have to multiply it by 12 and add the cost. (12 * 1 000 000) + 5 000 000 = 17 000 000

[@Bizub4]

Once again asking Matt to play Cities Skylines 1 again. The water physics in that game are a lot more fun 😂

[@splatter_proto]

Hey Matt, would it be possible to fill an entire tile with poo using the trick you did to fill the volcano-moat around alCRAPtraz?

[@splatter_proto]

lol he literally built a money pit

[@mattcw7884]

Have you really just made us sit through 20 minutes and all you did was dig a massive hole and plant some wind turbines 🤣

[@tarrantwolf]

Yup, he really wants us to believe he's a real civil engineer and not just a failed architect. Yeah, right. You protest to much.

[@m.w226]

I love your videos

[@user-qh4vg3cr9z]

why can I not find a playlist of this series, I want to watch but in order and I can't find that.

[@scipio4275]

Bro really just said 40k per MWH is cheaper than 20k per MWH... my engineering brain is in pain

[@waterflamee4882]

the thumbnail looks like FIRE IN THE HOLE 🗣🔥 🕳

[@minos8948]

I wonder what kind of PTSD Matt has, what did those architects did to him?

[@zyeborm]

cantilevers probably

[@baystated]

Joe-thermal power. Some people just naturally run hot. May as well exploit them for electrical power.

[@Zach69ish]

You could create a poo canal, from the dam, that runs parallel the the river and drains out far away

[@LukeTheJoker]

He finally remembered the loan!

[@TheKlink]

needs to be a reedbed filtration mod at some point.

[@swaglp03]

Matt was being an architect in this video all the way from start to end. 😅

[@Vaishino]

I'd like to think the architects could see the error of their ways and repent to escape. More of a purgarchtory

[@zrl0523]

Matt you can just admit it, you're an architect, not engineer. No engineer will done the error in math like you! And you can just lower the budget instead of delete all those.

[@bookworm9962]

There's a bug with the concrete taxes. It swings from really high to really low. I think that was the reason why you were seeing your income change so much

[@NagaDarmag]

In my current city I had a income of over 100.000.000\month from concrete tax for a month or so. Later I had something similar for rocks and one more industry. Lets just say I have some money to burn.

[@airbornejesus3845]

At 7:01 the comment in the corner Me: No, no RCE hasn't noticed the lack of housing. Instead he digs a giant poo hole. 😂😂😂😂 Edit: he didn't deal with the poo like I thought. Stay classy RCE.

[@ryangadberry1613]

Given Matt's grasp of fiscal policy, he should run for government office.
