I've got a few tips for you: 1 - When a building wants a car, it will pull from the closest available house. Generally, that's what you want. But it can break down if you have a building (especially a round building) exceeding its local demand and pulling from the far side of the city. That creates more traffic at intersections and is far less efficient than having a small, isolated, local community to serve it. It's better to have one or two houses with a short trip than a lot of houses but some of them are farther away. One single house that has a four tile trip can keep a building satisfied for a long time, but if that house instead gets pulled across town to a different business, then its cars will be tied up in traffic and the local business will ALSO have to pull cars from across town. 2 - As soon as you see traffic starting to build up at a round-a-bout, you have to fix it. Create a by-pass road for one of the colors (maybe someone just needs to turn 90 degrees and could avoid the round-a-bout altogether?) or use a motorway to lessen the traffic through that motorway. 3 - Cars will ALWYAS take the shortest distance trip. Generally, that's what you want. But if you built a motorway to take pressure off an intersection but now ALL the colors want to use your new motorway, you've created a new problem. Watch out for that, and use it to your advantage. Four way intersections are deadly if it's the shortest way for a lot of traffic, but if there's just a few cars crossing it's not a problem. If 90% of a building's demand is met by local houses with no crossings and the last 10% is met by a house that has to cross two four-way intersections, it's not the end of the world. The bulk off the traffic is efficient, and the overflow is good enough to fill the gaps. 4 - Houses will have cars sitting in the driveway when they have a car available to send. You can visually see whether or not you have enough houses linked up to meet demand (because cars will be sitting around) or whether you need to improve something.

Next step is meta strats 1: Buildings generate demand proportional to the amount of houses connected to them so you wanna segregate even the same colors and sometimes not even connect some houses. Not connecting houses doesn't harm you. 2: You can place roads preemptively so that buildings don't spawn where you don't want them. 3: When everything gets super complicated and demand is dangerously high, you can delete every road you've built and then rebuild them all.

Great watching you try and solve these issues. 3 tips that have helped me tremendously. 1) Cars always take the shortest route, regardless of how many alternate routes you setup. 2) Before connecting new houses check to see if houses of the same colour have cars in the driveway. 3) Instead of connecting new houses make pre-emptive neighbourhoods ready to be connected when needed.
@StrangeJimi
@StrangeJimi 3 жыл бұрын
Getting there... Tips: 1. Always take a motorway unless you *really* need something else. 2. Roundabouts are awesome if you an fit them - think about where they need to go early in the game and 'reserve' space using road tiles. 3. Use road tiles to block-off buildings from spawning in awkward spaces - you can always delete them later if you need them. 4. You can always use a motorway for a while and delete it later if you need it - same goes for roundabouts, traffic lights, etc. 5. There is a point to traffic lights! But only later in the game, when you start to get gridlock at junctions - if you can't fit a motorway, stick in some traffic lights! 6. Try and link motorways and large buildings to roundabouts wherever possible, and try to avoid houses connecting to main roads (especially close to large buildings). It's better to use more road tiles and keep little, isolated 'suburbs' of housing (same colour if possible). 7. Motorways can't go over mountains... but they can go really close to them, so look for the gaps. I think that's as much wisdom as I've gleaned so far!
@LootGoblinGaming
@LootGoblinGaming 3 жыл бұрын
If you keep playing this game here are a couple tips. 1.) You don't need to connect those individual houses that pop up on the outstretches. They cost more road tiles than they are worth. 2.) Please, for the love of all that is chaos, use the motorways to connect those far spots instead of trying to congregate them all to a roundabout. 3.) Bridges can go longer, just keep them in the water and you can span a huge distance. 4.) Pretend the little AI drivers are stupid and will take the longest way possible. If you connect them all they will go to the smaller factory if they think it needs someone instead of the one that's pinging you. So, you can connect just 2-3 house to a smaller one instead of all on everything.

I find 2-3 houses enough for a square building and 4-6 for a round building are enough to service them if they aren't too far away. If I have enough of one color to break a group off from main roads and still leave enough houses for other buildings I will, as the call out for a car won't always come from the closest building creating hectic traffic from the other side of the city.

I like the motto 'compartamentalize to reduce intersections' over segregation. In addition to the problematic roots of joking about the action, it also is an oversimplification that implies the wrong strategy. The issue isn't in keeping all colors on their own roads; sometimes you want multiple colors on the same roadway, and sometimes you want cars of the same color to be on different road systems. The issues are intersections, how busy they are, and car travel time. Anyway, fun video, would love to watch more! ❤

I'm not sure if you know this and just don't want to use it but you can make a road inbetween two houses that are on a diagonal. For example the grey house on the bottom right at 15:08 you can make the driveway go inbetween the two grey houses. In that case it's not necessary but in some cases it can save you a lot of road tiles (and neighborhoods are usually not the source of the congestions).

The traffic lights do work but they require very specific circumstances to work their best. First, they need to be in a heavily trafficked 4+ way intersection (I’d say 4 but I’m sure someone has made a 5 way intersection). Ideally, the intersection would be two arterials or collectors. Second, the primary turning direction needs to be left, not right. If it’s right, the only time traffic gets stopped is the odd left turn which pulls traffic to a dead stop for no reason. Last, the space needs to be too tight for a roundabout. Roundabouts are still the best bet for any intersections but if the spacing is too tight, stop lights work great. I wish I’d take a picture of the city I used them on but it worked really well for a long time. Just wound up getting screwed by poor destination placements.

Hey CPP! You can also segregate the colors from themselves, if you have 2 houses to a square building it's usually enough and 3 is enough for a circle depending on distance

I’m thinking it might be interesting to see if you’d be able to improve your city if you were to completely ”start over” when things get hairy. Like deleting the roads and bridges and motorways and start again with a clean slate (and a bunch of houses and destinations of course). Would love to see you have a go!

About 2:41, you can run along the river and it only counts as one bridge, despite the length. ---- About 17:56, I find it's best to only mix two colors to help fight the need to separate versus the random nature of the game to spawn stuff wherever you don't want it to go.

"Too few cars could get to this destination in time. Your city shut down." Sounds like top level lobbying there. In mini metro, the explanation as to why your metro shut down is a bit more reasonable, but this is just absurd.

I think your only downfall is trying to connect roads to each other instead of using a different route entirely. Use those road tiles. It also will help to keep things separated based off of how far away they are from each other. Even if something is across the map, if there is no one else available a car will make that extra long trip instead of waiting to go to a closer one.

Bridges also can span longer than one Tile and do not require being straight. you can Fill an entire Coastline with a wiggle if desired.

I see a common trend that you tend to not see new houses pop up even with the flash for long periods of time. Maybe change the flash color to like a constant ping to let the player know that the houses arent linked in. Not just flash the house white.

FYI you can delete portions that you've already built and get all the road pieces back. People with ridiculous scores often redo their entire cities once or twice!

Tips: Traffic lights prevent people from slowing down at junctions (use at T-junctions). Roundabouts have a lower capacity than they should because cars don't yield (still, use at crossroads when you'd like to prevent left turning). Each house has 2 cars and can take care of two demands at a time (for farther buildings you'll need one house for every single pin because the travel time is longer than the pin spawning timer). Build diagonals anywhere you can to save road tiles. Motorways are king (use them to provide targeted long distance connectivity, not as bypasses). Avoid loading arterials at all cost. You don't have to segregate neighbourhoods, but never connect them if you don't need to. And finally: the AI doesn't know how to use connectivity redundancy to plan routes (it just plans the quickest trip without taking traffic into account), so don't waste your road tiles.

I think the biggest issues with this one were the yellow building feeding into the left roundabout and the blue building in the bottom right that required all the blue cars coming from further bottom-right to take left turns and cut off traffic to the green and red buildings behind it.

A motorway from bottom centre to top right, to transport blues south and greys north, might have worked well. Only connect houses when you need them.

No sequel but they made a game before this one. I've been playing it since the release in 2014 so mini motorways is kinda the sequel. It's called Mini Metro.

Still issues with seeing the pointer. If it were at least as big as the little teardrop markers in game, I think that'd be cooler. It's way fun to see/hear your rational (planner) brain conflict with your (gamer) brain. Between you and Biffa doing Skylines and this, I'm thoroughly entertained.
