10:14 Ahh yes, finally... After designing real life highways for 10 years, it's finally applicable to real life situations such as in this video game.

[@RJ_Eckie]

I’ve just binged all the freeways vids and I absolutely love this series. I could do with infinite videos trying to maximize the total efficiency! 🙌🏻

[@logicalfundy]

13:08 - it's interesting how yes, you did have bridges, but now they're banned. I'm thinking that the author updated the game, because a roundabout plus a bridge is a really easy way to cheese the level.

[@Satseful]

Bridges have never been allowed and game have not got update after steam release. It is bug, which I don’t know how to replicate, and which fixes restarting the game.

[@Snowyyhappyboltsfan]

?

[@kevinkevinholt]

@@Satseful I'm not sure how that could be the case. I have the app on my phone and have the same issue: I have bridges in my build but they're crossed out in the menu so if I rebuilt I wouldn't have them. I definitely didn't cheat or something.

[@Satseful]

@@kevinkevinholt how that same bug would not be possible at mobile version? And when it is a bug, you don't need cheat to trigger it. I assume, that you are talking one of the levels, where bridges are not allowed.

[@kevinkevinholt]

@@Satseful Ah I misunderstood, I meant I'm not sure how bridges could have never been allowed. I didn't see what you said about a bug. My mistake!

[@queenthot1438]

the brain was such an icon in this series and i am absolutely devastated that it is gone. RIP the brain, you will be missed. the new design makes my adhd super happy for some reason, though lmao

[@bananabot151]

[@jennyengstrom1791]

But it was really bad. I got 537 points from it by just doing a roundabout.

[@valecasini]

17:35 ok I have to say it... This is the cleanest and smoothest road you ever done on this game! 😁

The sponsored manscaping probably helped him keep it ultra-smooth and free of any needless fluff! 😂

[@theraVen27]

And the score is worse. “I swear roundabouts work…. I swear”

[@loopingbricks899]

Matt + Manscaped = literally the perfect sponsorship

[@linnoff]

For that last one you redid, best I've seen is just over 400, so your score is pretty good. It's weird to me how there really isn't a standard score range in this game, like level 57 is absurd and cracking 200 is nearly impossible, but 75 it's possible to exceed 1000.

[@bobbys332]

I would guess that the brain lost its bridges because the game was updated in-between playing the level the first time and now.

[@Satseful]

Not sure what triggers it, but there is bug, which sometimes allow you to use bridges at levels, where those are not allowed. Restarting the game fixes that bug. I've replicated that by myself once after resetting my world for a one-try-challenge. There have not been single update after steam release 2018 (if I remember year correctly), so your update theory is not possible.

[@bobbys332]

@@Satseful That makes sense. Thanks for correcting my assumption.

[@lukron5593]

@@Satseful there has been an update, or at least I’ve received one.

[@Satseful]

@@lukron5593 yeah, i checked and at android there were a bug fixing update, because app did crash at some devices. That update didn't fix bugs which are there every devices. That update was 2019. At steam there have not been updates, after release at 2017. iOS updates couldn't check right now. Edit. Found the way to check ios. It have received few updates, so it is compatible with new ios versions and some bug fixings, which have appeared only at iphone / ios.

I didnt even know, how i ended here. But i watched all 13 Episodes and i loved All of them. Very impressive

[@jacktolhurst3642]

RCE: “bridges are expensive and efficiency is important” literally as he’s drawing a curved bridge over a straight gap XD

[@sajithparackal1738]

missed a complexity factor of 69 at the double roundabout.. missed opportunity at 12:29 and at 13:00

[@staylifted2326]

it is my life goal to see this channel do a fresh slate of this game and watch RCE try to do it as literally perfect and efficient as he possibly could. I think it's be so dope to see it evolve with perfect traffic flow

[@Noah-sm9so]

I first watched your videos when you were making poly bridge videos at a couple thousand subscribers and you’re now being recommended to me regularly, have 1.2 million subscribers, and continue to be extremely entertaining. I’m so happy for you :)

[@ashtonrahnell2406]

Whoever edited this did a great job! The Owen Wilson "Woww" at 7:14 made me laugh so hard.

[@mateuszjarzembinski8689]

You should play "Please fix the road". It's just great!

[@curnard.]

Hey Rce, I am requesting you to try out raft. I think you would enjoy it and I definitely would love to watch you play it!

[@curnard.]

thank you I missed that one!

[@thebigboyyay]

Bought Mini Motorways in the Steam Sale because of your videos! Loving the content no matter what even if I have to binge through all of them

[@alexeyman7301]

Hey Matt, I got a bit of a parable for you: Three Engineers are having an argument... The first says: "God must be a mechanical engineer -- just look at the joints in the human body." The second says: "God is an electrical engineer -- just look at the nervous system." The third says: "God has to be a civil engineer -- who else would run a waste disposal pipeline through a perfectly good recreational area?"

[@RealCivilEngineerGaming]

Nice 😅

[@bananabot151]

I love this series! You should go over your past builds and make them more efficient, or more "efficient" lol

Love the way matt sponsors stuff its soo wholesome

[@ValouFCH]

Level 13 only have a 68 scorte, maybe you could look at that in the next episode ? :D

[@Toppot2]

I continue to love this series, chase those high scores!

[@80sandmore]

Hello Matt - you have done really well I think you will easily surpass 30000. We have a very close score. I had included a screenshot of mine, but bots don't like screenshots.

[@marconiandcheese7258]

I love the 80s style synth music at the round about bit. I love it

[@indrevei8769]

I hate driving in roundabounds in real life, but waching your freeways series makes me start liking them

[@Talkshowhost23]

12:59 Nice complexity factor 🙃

[@Snommelp]

I gave the smiley face a pince-nez -- might not have been as efficient, but I thought it was a nice way to avoid having a merge before a diverge

[@BinaryArmorOnline]

Of all the games that appear on your channel, this is far and away my personal favorite

[@dankyei]

Smart thinking Matt, going back to an old stage so you can get another video out of this game 😅

[@insanecatman13]

I could NOT solve lvl 76 until I tried your design. Well done, man.

[@shiina_mahiru_9067]

The (probable) cause for a lower score in the last one is that you make your road too short (and you once put an unnecessary converge before a diverge!) The demand from point A to point B in this game is (pre)determined by the arrow thickness, so your road needs to withstand that throughput. In particular, induced demand is not a thing in this game (which is not realistic, but I guess the developer doesn't have the knowledge to implement such a mathematical model).

[@dorianbrlic8632]

you didnt improve the level 5 so much because its supposed to be a tuba kind of highway

[@LimitedFearless]

To be such a great highway engineer you sure cut a lot of corners. ;)

[@ethanchen6222]

After watching freeways I pay a lot more attention to interchanges on the gps

[@GuagoFruit]

I can't believe it... The strongest/most efficient sponsor ever.

[@SentinalSlice]

So, the way to beat this game is roundabouts. That’s what I’ve gathered from this episode.

[@katepromnitz6036]

Not sure if anyone else has said but I think you missed a pic waaay back in the first video on level 6! Needed 450 to get it and you only made 300ish I think.

[@JAYG6390]

Pretty sure you could improve that first level simply by putting the top half of the roundabout under the eyes instead of above, and avoid using bridges completely

[@Duvstep910]

I wish I had RCE's childlike view on things; makes me smile

[@OptiPopulus]

Please revisit number 13, it's the only one without a three digit score..

[@airrejp]

i freaking love when u play this

[@Satseful]

The scores are pretty much, what I expected. 75 bit less (expected 900) and 72 bit more (expected 300). For 72 I didn't expect that well founded the best layout, even while the non-optimal drawing slows it down, which required the extra road.

[@poohssmartbrother1146]

@15:20 I've always called it storage lane size

I can't have been the only hoping for a Swindon roundabout on the double roundabout level

19:20 you said it yourself, they dont have enough space to mix without blocking the entry point. sometimes its better to make it bulky so guys can go full speed all the time....

[@FirefoxyLeGibus]

idk why you did a roundabout on the crane level i would just do 2 main way

[@saucehero7168]

Good stuff the problem with traffic are cars slowing down, people getting off and cars all going in 1 direction despite starting from different points. Great simulation otherwise.

12:27 16b north looks like a sad bell

[@jusstdaking5509]

What i was thinking in the level of the 6 entrance/exits and the ufo shop in the middle, 3 exits and entrances can be on one roundabout while the other 3 are on a second round about. Maybe a good idea, maybe not

[@jusstdaking5509]

I will get this game one day to do it all myself. Maybe better than you buckaroo

12:17 Your complexity number is nice but you forgot to mention it.

[@miniwhiffy3465]

Ah boy more chaos to watch

[@SupercoolArjun]

You should look at number 13

[@marcor815]

At 18:37 you did very bad, because you had merge before the split and the narrower the corners the slower the cars can pass it. It is not only about „use as few concrete as possible“ but also about „make fluent roads“ I think fluent isn‘t the perfect word, but english isn‘t my first language

[@alkestos]

Fluent describes what you mean adequately.

[@Satseful]

In this level yellow buses slows down pretty easily, because of high traffic volume. Also yellow buses are slowest to accelerate in this game. So your point is even higher importance in that level, when using the layout, which rce used. English is not my first language either, so I hope you got the point I tried to tell.

[@ConGie]

I think you're not giving the cars smooth enough transitions from one road to another and there's not enough space between off ramps and on ramps. Least concrete is all well and good but usability I think is also a factor on the efficiency score.

[@jeremygreer4039]

That editing!

[@allenmayo718]

0:42 I know what that means Matt!

[@anuroopgyt]

In level 76 in the first attempt for a double roundabout the traffic didn't use it because you connected the outer roundabout into the inner roundabout you didn't connect the roads into the outer roundabout

Clearly those octagonal things are sewer exits. The cars are going there to collect their sewer water. Sewer water comes in grape and lime, it’s the hottest new health drink, full of vitamins, minerals and the occasional rat.
