[@Flexflex744]

Creating a squared island sounds like an Architect's idea

[@JK-ly7fb]

very architectural lmao

[@geckman2022]

Using a hexagon, that's true architecture, but true engineers know either a triangle, an arch or the strongest shape. All else is on the road to being an Architect.

[@BenRat-cy7rn]

He would Never support a aechitect idea!!

[@brigidtheirish]

No, it's *very* engineer. An architect would make lots of curves and scenic high points.

[@10C45E]

I think its a phase. Considering that RCE is also building a lot of Arab megaprojects atm... which are very architectural

[@Zoinkinator]

Matt really had the opportunity to call it Mattlantis and didnt take it 😭

[@aphiz4505]

True... But, will it really be cheaper if he build below sea level?

[@dolan-duk]

Matthattan.

[@belugatnt9229]

He did name it great mattain

[@bendooley550]

Id have called it matthattan as well.

[@Average2022]

Tip: As you create land on top of water, it floods (as you know). But the water needs some time to be released out of the newly formed land. So the roads can turn into bridges, and the zoning may not work. Just give it some time, and it should work. 😊

[@andTutin]

i suggest drain some water before fill area with a soil

[@jamesray9009]

I was think could you start with like a barrier then fill it in??

[@ChemicalCrash]

I’ve also found that sometimes you can speed it up a little by “upgrading” the road to another type of road that uses the same amount of tiles…however that can sometimes cost a bit of cash.

[@michaelbutton1789]

The way I get over zoning not appearing where it should is to build a section of fence where the zone is missing. Then delete the fence immediately. Small cost for the fence, mostly refunded when deleted, but it generates the zoning !!

[@Wulfjager]

Just build the roads under the water for boat traffic

[@theroadstopshere]

Given both the inspiration for the challenge, and the sheer number of times the island got flooded, I feel like the title of RealCivilAmphibian should be given to the mayor I love that towards the end, the city planning turned from needs-based zoning to a spending spree of giant monuments and useless buildings to flex the confusing amount of wealth the city generated. When the next major flood inevitably comes, I want a spot on the arch to watch the cars all majestically drift down the grid

[@DatGuy_83]

Somehow Matt made St Louis into an island and made it more successful than actual St Louis. Bravo

I discovered RCE earlier this year through his cities skylines videos and I loved them. Another creator I've loved for years now is Call Me Kevin. I've recently been binging his GTA V chaos mod streams (some of my comfort content tbh) when what should happen but Kevin shouting out RCE for hosting his stream on Twitch?? I fully had to pause the video and like take a second because I was just like... Wow. Small world. Anyways, wanted to share this story somewhere, love the videos!

Pro tip when using limited space: when you unlock the high density residential, put some buildings up and then replace the low density. It will take some time to catch up but it's worth it

[@mandowarrior123]

Too much sewage work under his belt.

[@alfredo.zauce1892]

Matt, some Solar Updraft technology uses water as a sort of “heat battery” to keep the solar updraft working overnight, rather than using electrical batteries to store it, which are a hell of a lot more expensive and inconvenient.

[@RB-747]

Matt not realising solar panels are filled with water in order to work is surprising ngl

[@hanzzel6086]

Yep, there is a difference between solar panels and solar cells. One makes hot water, the other makes electricity.

Hey Matt, i recommend a little train game called Train Valley 2. It's all about "drawing" the train lines, managing the routes, and taking the resorces around the map. It's pretty cool, but it gets hard real fast!

A solar updraft farm powered by air would be highly inefficient as air can't hold much heat per cubic meter and would produce in theory 5 times less energy than a solar updraft farm powered by water. And I thought only Architects were ineffective.
