[@Raxapheon]

Come visit us in BARCELONA, now THAT is a grided city specially LA EIXAMPLE

[@smoessmee]

Speaking of grids; Limerick city (Ireland) is a grid, and was the inspiration for the New York grid system, though it was much smaller. Barcelona is also a grid, but probably the best designed one I've ever seen, it even cuts the corners of each block so that there is space for parking etc. without congesting the roads :)

[@totesfleisch258]

Im late to the Party but the slow burn is literally part of the Gameplay, so hopefully i get to see it all.

[@joe2000gt]

I personally like seeing everything you put some thought into... I like hearing why you do things... I can pass on the monotonous stuff (paving roads, building track, etc) loving it so far. Still missing the live streams.

[@CharliePryor]

Good feedback.

[@Spartan77731]

@@CharliePryor personally i feel monotonous stuff like roadbuilding is best left in a sped up timelapse within the video (specifically when it feels like the roadbuilding is starting to go on too long).

[@CharliePryor]

@@Spartan77731 it’s all subjective, and intermittent. What one likes, one doesn’t, and vice versa. The only person I can consistently please is myself.

the way approached this series was in such a round a bout way, I am honestly lost for words as I go circles.

[@pookage]

I've landed on this playlist because there is SUCH A DEARTH of beginners content for this game, and all of the tutorials are all so absurdly detailed that I want to see what it looks like when someone just PLAYS, so I can figure out how I should even be playing this game, haha. Honestly - these last couple episodes have been super insightful, and I'm looking forward to working my way through the playlist and seeing what's up! One of the many things I've been struggling to do in my game has been combinations of buildings and layouts that look nice; there's not much in the way of detailing in this game, so I'm really looking for some inspiration on that front - looking forward to seeing that on episode 9000 😉

Charlie loves this game, brace yourself for a long trip 😉 Thanks @Charlie Pryor ❤, have fun and gl everyone 🖖

[@HeruKane]

Oh wow on a second episode of this series, super cool. So yeah this passed by and it was fun and I am looking forward to more! When it comes to off camera work I don't mind things like "so I laid out all the roads and the buildings and between episodes things will be built", that to me is fine. What bothers me is when someone goes "oh so we left off last episode with two buildings and a single road and I did some off camera work and now we have New York City", and yeah, I have seen things like that before. At that point its like "nope, I'm out." Anyway, good stuff. Its going to be fun!

[@CharliePryor]

Ah, yeah. I won’t have anything major like that. Throughout what’s recorded so far, it’s usually a few minor things that are done off camera, like laying pipes or a road here and there. The planning behind all major elements of the city and interaction of people will be covered in videos - although I may off-camera plan things out to what I want to do, I’ll still actually do it on video.

[@Jackthat1]

the classic "I did a little mining off camera"

[@hypieyo]

The most important thing about long-form videos is that if possible, you added chapters and keep your thought process, personally I like to hear how people think about their game and why :)

[@CharliePryor]

You aren’t going to get chapters with these LP videos. It’s impossible to make them relevant, because this game contains far too many things to focus on and move around with.

[@hypieyo]

@@CharliePryor yeah I know to many things colliding. Maybe doing a plan every 5/10 years where you going what you want ?

[@Zarnuf]

Want to see most but understand when some stuff happens off camera and like how you highlight what you did.

[@CharliePryor]

I will try to skip less as much as possible, but especially with realistic mode, I worry the pacing will drive away some without progression faster. ;)

[@Zarnuf]

@@CharliePryor Yes and totally understand. With your commentary on the things you skip it is all good. Love the content so keep up the great stuff and enjoy the game too :)

I like the longer videos and how you explain your reasoning behind your decisions!

[@lonestars1158]

42:26 Phoenix Arizona along with kinda tucson are infamously grid like

[@somebody220100]

42:31 It’s not just New York. Chicago is also virtually a perfect grid, you have to really go out of your way to get lost. Every street save for a handful of diagonal ones that were historically Native American trails runs north-south and east-west. Every 8 city blocks regardless of direction measures exactly 1 mile, and at the end of each mile there is a major street. Even the street names can tell you what part of town you’re in, a consecutive mile of streets named for after Presidents, a consecutive mile of streets named after each Ivy League school, or species of trees that are found locally, or the Great Lakes, etc, etc.

[@markwheeler4417]

I like the longer form videos and always have. Part this series in particular has been Charlie's indecision over item placement. I do wonder if some of that could be done offline and only the "correct answer" be shown. I don't think this will happen though as it would disturb the video flow too much and be a nightmare for editing. The current balance is fine and the "where should I place this" is part of the series charm, in an odd way, but still part of the charm.

Toronto, And the valley glen/North hollywood areas are both massive grids. There are some gridded areas in the LA sprawl, that are fairly old. The valleys existing in the 20's. It was more gridded than now, you can see this by all the dead end streets with the same name that were cut off by highways.

Philadelphia had grids before New York did

[@toddmolenda]

Awesome so far

[@WAFFLEZTHATZSOLO]

I like long episodes with just a few breaks "to let it run". Short episodes are frustrating unless released daily.

[@IamDoQtorNo]

Im good with you doin it all on screen/online. Great videos

[@danmatthews1281]

Just a note, New York City’s grid system and general architecture was adopted from Glasgow, Scotland, many of Glasgow’s architects moved to New York and built the city with the same design process, just on a larger scale, the Boston mayor visited Glasgow and commissioned the same same architects to build the Glasgow city chambers building as the mayoral home in Boston, there has been a few films been filmed in Glasgow due to the similarities and it is also much cheaper.

[@invention64]

While this is true, the first American grid system was designed earlier than this in the 17th century for the street design of Philadelphia.

[@danmatthews1281]

Glasgow is a very old city, Glasgow uni was built in the 14th century, you can see the development where the city started to form grids etc, I had no idea philly grids were so old, I will have to look into that and learn more

[@CharliePryor]

There’s certainly a mixture of styles as we go forward, but I’ll keep refining it more and more to having less time cut, because as we get larger, there’s faster pacing with progress anyways… hopefully.

[@SaturnBurnerAccount]

So glad this series is underway I miss the streams. I'm thinking for how much should be done off-camera: Pick a relatively important building that's got some progress on it and wait til it's done to come back. Also early game winters are a step above snoozefest when you already know about the effects on vehicles. For newer viewers it'll be good to stick around for the first one but after that (until there's citizens) it's probably ok to just pop in for when buildings get done or reconfiguring services.

[@jkif1052]

Awesome cool contend with explanationatory how to construct road n rail.Ty 😁🤗👍

[@tribalsynesthesia]

You should do roundabouts and rail off-camera. Just pitch us in after. Also I enjoyed "emergency procedures" when things went bad on stream. :) Too early for these now, but it was fun to watch. Keep up the good work. :)

[@CharliePryor]

There won’t be anything meaningful or impactful to the play-through happening off camera. - for the first day of video coverage, I wanted to show the layout that I was starting with. Most roads and footpath stuff will happen either in time-lapse or as a cut, usually. Not always, but most of it

[@dalbhuie_youtubeaddedanumber]

Great to see the vids comming so quickly. I think you may have missed a small section of rail when you changed the plan to have one as highspeed.

[@CharliePryor]

Eventually they’ll all be high speed anyways. The plan mostly is to get one built very cheap to start the import/exports better later (later than I’d like). Then build the real tracks in a way that won’t disrupt the workings train. ;)

[@ChrisJohnson-of8fh]

Not sure if someone else mentioned but I think the electric switch and substation closer to border needs road connection before you can get power going. Enjoying the new series, like most of others give us a brief “ ok this needs to finish and I’ll start this building” and let it go off camera while you plan out for next episode. And then a 2 minute recap at intro. I think most of your followers watch other W&R content so don’t need every step explained. Your idea for the centralized construction office linked to rail will be so much more efficient at importing until you have internal production! Don’t forget rail construction office and train fueling locations. While expensive run underground pipes along railbed.

Hey Charlie. loving this so far, loving the new buildings too. I think they have made it way harder now you need to use coal power first, no more using foreign labour to run your own power and sell it for massive profit. LOL I think what you are doing so far is looking good, no need to change bud, but a little suggestion would be to make your construction site use the warehouse you built and filled with goods, as im not sure if you already told it to do that, it seems like the 1 truck you have for that is going to the boarder, but i could be wrong. Good luck with the new city, cant wait to see how it all works out.

[@CharliePryor]

Using that warehouse might have been something I did off video. Sorry about that. I try not to do anything meaningful or major off camera, but I can see how at least not mentioning that could make confusion.

[@molybdane7240]

Assuming your goal is still to help new players, it's good to always keep anything new you do on screen. But working on designing an area or a roundabout is something that can be moved off screen, if you briefly explain after the fact what you did and why.

[@f4uxp4s]

hey Charlie - just a thought - instead of cutting the building of some things like gravel roads, maybe zoom out and do a timelapse video? Its really fun to watch things get built. I know it adds some editing time, so up to you. Thanks for the video!

[@CharliePryor]

It adds a LOT of editing time. It becomes the majority of time, so much so that I could likely make a whole new video in the amount of time. But I see what you’re saying, and agree it would be a quality increase.

[@kartik_sinha]

Charlie in May 2023- I will not build rail in a way that trains have to pass through a station to go from one place to another. Charlie in June 2023 does just that

[@CharliePryor]

The key is that it isn’t the ONLY way to go, and that trains can absolutely move around each other with the FOUR rails in that station. It’ll be fine.

[@kartik_sinha]

@@CharliePryor are you sure they can decide to move from another track if one is occupied? The reason I am doubtful is that as far as I am aware, vehicles take the fastest possible route to their destination, not considering traffic ofcourse. So in this case, the fastest way to move will always be straight through. If those platforms are occupied then other trains might prefer to wait instead of using the other tracks because that is longer distance wise. This is ofcourse my understanding of the current version of the game. I don't know if they made routes smarter in the update

[@CharliePryor]

@@kartik_sinha you won’t need smarter routing from the game. They’ll be provided with smart routing from me. You’ll see. Just because tracks are going through a station, doesn’t mean the trains on them will have any conflict

Salt Lake City, Utah. 100% grid system. All the streets use numbers based on said grid.

[@CharliePryor]

That city has plenty of exceptions to the grid, but take a moment to also look just outside of that city, like to West Valley, for example. Sure, main highways are straight and grid, but not everything is all equal. Plenty of cities, the majority of residential environments especially, do not follow a strict grid system. That said, I’ve mostly stated this in videos as a joke, because it usually comes up with my videos due to my insistence on not following strict symmetrical building practices. There are clear examples of grid cities around the world. There are even more examples of non-grid layouts. I find grids boring. ;)

[@whisperscream4062]

@CharliePryor - Question: Why power for tank such a deal? It doesn't really do anything, right? Unless you going to have trucks pull directly from it. Or am I missing something Also doing pump tank pump tank for distance vs pump pump pump... less power requirements (more material/labor though them tanks need ALL the mats) and gives you extra storage in case of bottlenecks. I know you play you and please dont poke, but I argue this is a play-style choice and not optimization.

[@CharliePryor]

I was going to have them pull directly from it, but I opted instead to go with a loading station instead. Still needs power anyways. I don't know what you mean about the whole pump tank pump thing... I only need one tank, as it'll never be full once I get the route going. Any more than one will just be an empty tank. This is mostly mental math, calculating the throughput of the pumpjacks at their percentages, against the capacity and distance for the trucks. I'll basically be having just enough trucks to keep the tank pumping into the tank, without filling it up, as it loses oil overall in the non-snowy months, and gains back in the winter when the trucks slow (no plows)

[@whisperscream4062]

@@CharliePryor oh not arguing that. My brain goes with 'power nodes and running lines' wastefulness as priority; plus backup storage in case of me pulling stupids is nice. So I go with pump tank pump tank when Im running long lines from pumpjacks to the processing plant/section (instead of pump pump pump set up). Different strokes for folks. Appreciate follow up.

I don't like off-camera progress. My preference is to show everything you are doing in real time. If you're hands-on with the mouse/keyboard, I want to see it and hear you talk through it. If you're not hands-on, I'd prefer to see a zoomed-out time-lapse showing as much of the relevant activity area as possible, such as where roads or buildings are being constructed. From what I've seen with other streamers, off-camera work ends up including last-minute design decisions or nuances that are interesting for me. I've learned a lot by watching how construction progresses, such as what to build first and where bottlenecks may occur.

[@lucasmonteiro5007]

Hi! I don't like seeing roundabouts (or walking paths) being redone all the time, but i do like what you do in general, it just hurts to see the game fighting back. CharliePryor vs. Road Tools.

[@HurricaneSA]

"You don't build cities with grid mode. You don't, nobody does that". Actually, most modern cities are grid based because it's the most efficient layout in terms of services and traffic. Grid based layouts were already popular in the ancient Roman empire. Some of the earliest cities in India were grid based if we go even further back in history. It's a fallacy to think that ancient cities just sprang up organically. More often than not they we engineered based on a grid pattern to provide easy access to services for everyone and to also bolster the defenses of the city. The caveat being of course that the terrain allowed for it.

[@CharliePryor]

It’s a theme of the channel/playlists with cities here, that I joke about grids and cities not being a real thing.

[@HurricaneSA]

@@CharliePryor Oh I assumed that much but I wanted to mention it anyway as I do see a lot of "organic" city builder games claiming to be "historically accurate" these days on Steam simply because they allow organic building and it annoys me very much that people just assume ancient civilization all just plonked down buildings willy nilly and then roads just kind of sprang up magically. Small villages maybe but large metropolitan cities were well planned.

Really love your videos,keep it up !

[@CharliePryor]

I understand ya.

[@bow-tiedengineer4453]

Personally, I prefer a lot of the off camera work to be done as cuts in the video rather than as stuff happening between episodes. I just think it flows way better if it's "I'm going to plan the thing", "Here's the thing I planned. Now that I've explained and tweaked it, we'll let the construction offices build the things", compared to "alright, I'm going to do this on my own, see you next episode" and then showing us what you did later.

[@CharliePryor]

I don't add too many things between episodes. Usually very minor things, like completing walking paths or adding a pipe or a pump someplace. Anything major, large, or anything that will have even a moderate impact on the civilization is added in the videos, as you describe. Most of the time passing between videos is just letting it sit and build, and monitoring resources to see if more should be brought in and how much.
