Is the PERFECT city layout CIRCULAR in Cities Skylines?

Engitopia returns in Cities Skylines (City Skyline) as I perfect The Wedge by making it a complete circular city in CS! I basically make a circular version of the dystopian city called NEOM's The Line in Cities Skylines!

Can The Line™ Defend Against a Tsunami?

[@karenmcconnell422]

Good queston

[@karenmcconnell422]

Add another circle line & an actual line sandwiched between them & I’m sure it would be structurally sound enough to defend against a Tsunami.

[@pbsixgun6]

All such dystopian city ideas are.

[@matushorvath]

Reminds me of Belo Horizonte in Brazil (as much as I remember it from 10 years ago when I was there). It's mostly surrounded by mountains and built into the slopes, so the views were kind of similar. No spiral in the middle though, they still have space to improve.

[@connorwilliamson505]

Once RCE has finished with Engitopia, I would love to see Biffa try and make this monstrosity (sorry, I meant masterpiece) work.

You should slope up around the the outside of the city and plant trees for terrain stability to prevent erosion.

[@tapferer1kater34]

I love this series, it was the reason for me to subscribe

[@takumi2023]

if you have moveit mod use ctrl + H on the node to make it match the height of the other nodes. also the hump at 10:39 seems to be more than one node so you will have to keep lowering the height. the weird glitching might be because the pillars on top of the quay/raised terrain. there's a roundabout mod that helps you build things in a circle. one change you could make is to move the road to be on the river bank. this will prevent the canyon. you can also move the power lines down there too.

[@kunstderfugue]

you can simulate tubing up a river when you've made terrain that blocks it, by adding water pumps on one side and poop outlets the other

[@WelshmanLuke]

I'm no engineer, but I think a suspended circular park in the middle of the spiral would be cool af. It would give people a reason to actually use the spiral 😂 Or is this idea too architecturey?

[@paoloknight]

What would be cool is a soccer stadium in the middle of that. Everyone would be able to watch the game from their house with binoculars!

[@zzjimmai59]

Note that ressemblance with Plato’s description of the lost city of Atlantis which was located in the Sahara desert’s richtat eye. Where once was not a desert but a luxuriant land with big rivers and where you can clearly see the traces of a huge continental size flood once happened that could have wipe the city off the map.

You know, RCE's ambivalence for architects is always funny to hear. He brings them up so much as if he hates them. But he also acts like an architect in his videos pretty frequently. Anyone else ever get mixed signals about this?

[@Fyreflier]

I can't wait for Biffa to one day be handed this and told "fix this. if you think you're so good, fix this." and then we either get a video from him titled "my mental breakdown" or a seven hour rebuild from the ground up

Only an architect would forget a lake (or poo volcano) in the middle to harvest the power of your circular city designs... perhaps you need channels with small dams around a spiral city?

[@battlebeard2041]

I’ve never seen your content or played this game/simulator… but I must say you had me with the poopcano. If the underpass airport didn’t elicited chuckles, the poop chute certainly did. I suppose that’s more an indicator of my maturity level than the design.

[@fe_marx]

I never thought I'd laugh so much in a video about Cities Skylines 🤣

[@yetispaghetti5754]

Im just imagining the hell someone would have to go through every morning going to work in that city, especially if you have to slowly drive uphill in the morning and pray you dont crash on your way down in the evening

[@Mastikator]

To answer the title of the video: YES. Yes it is. In fact make all roads single directional and each layer of roads in opposite direction, make the roads between layers single too. You only have merge and split. Vehicles only ever need to slow down to allow pedestrians to cross roads, there is basically no congestion ever. Even when you get to hundreds of thousands of pops, which is a massive town in this game. Second is tons of bus stops and make public transport free. Fourth is put residential and commercial districts close to each other, very close actually. This will enable a huge portion of the residents to get jobs that they can walk to. You can also put non-polluting industrial zones (like woodworking) next to residential. Third is subways, use them, these should connect disparate parts of the town. This almost eliminates cars completely, which means you can make the city far more dense and far bigger because the infrastructure can very easily support it. IDK if the game simulates it but it alleviates a huge cost of living for people when getting to their jobs is fast and free, they save a huge amount of time and money. It's also the best way to design cities and towns in real life.

[@blackhole5879]

There is a mod called Roundabout builder (or something like that). Very handy when you want to make giant circles and obviously, normal roundabouts.

[@BinaryArmorOnline]

Every time I watch this series I'm left sitting here like "Engitopia? Did you mean Warcrimeitopia?"

[@ArinJager1]

I've got an idea (I know what you're thinking: "He's got an idea again! Run for the hills!" but bear with me for a moment)... so, like, make the circle as you did, right... but make two (nudge nudge wink wink) this time: one is like the "wedge-pokébal" - a funnel or a hopper-shaped thing (like an open-pit mine, kinda)... and the other one is like a wedding cake - opposite to the funnel, basically (but the same exact dimensions and layout, though)... and then like have the two cities compete or whatever... I know, it's a really stupid idea (and you won't read this comment, anyway, either, or do the idea - but if you do, no need to credit me or anything, 'kay?)

[@Kram1032]

For the river you could have used the slope tool, clicking into one side to set one slope end, and then into the other to get a consistent slope throughout, minimizing the change

[@spikedfriend8989]

Loveee you and your content

[@Chosen1Creator]

I think the line still has a place in this city. I reckon if you build it from the circle but off to the side and then build a circle on the other side, this can be a very efficient design.

[@ThePhantomFanatic]

YES! Back on with the best series
