[Weekly] High Density, Unlimited Roads Challenge - Mini Motorways

[@DDDEVILDUCK]

I appreciate these coming out on the first day of the week. It pulls me to watch this video over others. I would enjoy watching you do some dailies though. Not many of them on yt.

[@Retroflux]

I'll level with you, it's probably because of how fleeting the attention is for dailies. For a weekly, you have literally 7x for chance for someone to find it relevant. Dailies gotta be something special to actually get the spotlight on a channel like mine, just because I know that its reach metrics will be abysmal, but the same amount of effort needs to be put in! I'm sure most other creators weight this when they make daily/weekly challenge content as well. :) Edit: just re-read your comment, you basically summed it all up: "it pulls me to watch this video over others", basically, that!

Step one: attach 1st house to first shop. Step two: fill up all the blocks with roads. Step three: fill up all the new blocks with roads when the map expands. Step four: remove a single road tile every once in a while to allow a new house to spawn. Step five: add highways to houses that are far away. Only keep the one shop. Get the record for longest play on a level and highest demand fulfillment (points).

[@Retroflux]

From what I understand, the house additions are tied to additional store spawns. You would eventually just not be able to keep up with demand, and it'd be far lower than the highest points possible.

At 17:21 a yellow car went to visit a red friend on the bottom right.

[@Retroflux]

They're having an affair, next update there'll be orange housing pop up

[@ColinTimmins]

I’ve seen that before, very odd… lol

[@umayrmakda759]

Time to get comfy…always love a bit of mini motorways 😁

[@bexisgaming3743]

Love this, looking forward to playing this challenge myself!! Subscribed!! Keep up the great work!!

[@DDCRExposed]

That's a great weekly and I don't think I've tried it yet. Having to really block side-by-side spawning is rough! 😅 Excellent work. 👍

[@Retroflux]

It's a good exercise in space management, highly recommend it! I'll keep trying to upgrade my scoreline this week, I think... there's lots of potentnial for growth and learning on this one!

[@Yerza777]

loving the time laps !

[@Amodh1257]

what if you just cover the whole map with roads..... can't you theoretically just get a super high score until your demand outruns your supply on the single destination?

[@Frrari]

You will get points too slowly if you have only few destinations so blocking them early on is not effective. Been there done that.

[@Retroflux]

Yes, and in theory you'd be able to identify the exact tipping point to the demand curve requirements at the point which you tiled off the entire system. You might also be able to determine what spawns first, the houses or the destination! Edit: You wouldn't survive long though, because the game will continue to ask for more and more and you'll have no more to give!

[@poohssmartbrother1146]

@@Retroflux The trick is to notice when you are running out of supply, and let another destination spawn

[@PJOZeus]

So conservative with tiles still despite having infinite, just habit I guess aha

[@oscarsorensen210]

Really enjoying this weekly! It's a tricky one but once you have some idea where the spawns are likely to be you can plan a little better... Purples are horrible. My PB so far is 6k but I've just slipped off the top 10 so will have to try harder 😂

[@NeedsMoDakka]

Retro, With those reds at the end, I don't think it was a good idea to have motorways connecting DIRECTLY TO the end destination on top of cars feeding in. Congestion AT THE DESTINATION is where a lot of players are getting screwed over. Maybe setting it up where Motorway 3 connected around the same place where Motorway 5 was [the top center roundabout] would have helped? In my head, it makes more sense if congestion is happening away from your destination, since that way at least the cars are collecting pips ok when they finally get there (vs several times where cars pile up trying to get in, and end up blocking cars trying to get out)

[@Retroflux]

Yeah, in hindsight I should have rerouted it as soon as the fourth building popped up, maybe fed everything into the roundabout on different spokes. At least then the traffic would divide properly and there'd be less congestion! When I initially set it up to feed right into the structure it was fine because it was just the one structure being fed, buutt then I had to connect everything else.... and it was downhill from there.

[@StephBer1]

All I can say is no-one would ever plan a city this way!😄

[@archmage1015]

I doubt cities would be planned with the intent for different colored people to frequent only same colored businesses.

[@StephBer1]

@@archmage1015 It was a joke, although based in reality. I'm saying that people will logically tend to work, shop and live in areas that are as close as possible. I lived in a city once where I had a 2.5 hr commute each way across hellish traffic. The job was fantastic so I moved house.

[@archmage1015]

@@StephBer1 yeah, my response was meant to be a joke in response to your own.

[@ololo518]

@@StephBer1 depends? Cities are rarely planned, most of the time they were build before any urban planning so you have to work with all stuff. Besides you work where you find work, not everyone can have their job close (I spend 40 min every day by bus to go to my work). And in smaller cities, those big enough to have commute and not big enough to have two of sth, you may not have an ability to choose where you go. Swimming pool for exemple. I know people don't go there daily, but if you have one in your city, esp. not in the middle but on the outskirts it will seriously rise number of cars and time spend on the road. Tl:dr most of the cities are not preplanned for our convienience ;)

[@PuffyRainbowCloud]

I think having that motorway attach directly to the structure instead of to the roundabout at the end cause some serious congestion. Putting the motorway on a different arm of the roundabout would’ve been better.

[@LunaWitcher]

geebus that dark blue spawn right next to the yellow was absolutely brutal! But the reds spawning all over the map didn't help anything either. Maybe I'll give this challenge a try!

[@dragovian]

Great videos! keep up the good work

[@khakipants6422]

You should do vod reviews from subscribers

[@mistwhisper117]

I appreciate the professionalism lack of profanity in your videos. Might finally end up buying Mini Motorways today.

[@rotationskraftwerksbetreib4365]

Have not regretted it, but can't stay as calm as he does. :D

[@landokiv13]

Are there future updates planned? I’d like to see new maps and features for maps.

[@Retroflux]

Yep! The developers, Dino Polo Club, have already committed to (at least) continued support and map additions, similar to what they did for Mini Metro.

[@MrEvilDrPorkChop55]

Yieww! That's me at 5th place. Didn't last long though

[@dryballzz]

Awesome vids!!

[@rjwboys]

love how you said only had one spawn and there was 2 blues sitting on the top left not connected

[@JustPeterSteel]

With unlimited roads you can just block off the entire map, and force home spawns into tiny areas that suite you, then have only the 2 original shops forever.

[@Retroflux]

No, the game would outpace you, you need more and more structures to keep up with demand!

[@JustPeterSteel]

@@Retroflux Right, because of what you explained in the other video about colors having increased demand over time and filling those out with the available stores that can request traffic.

[@Gdank72]

I messed up and allowed a spawn in a bad place... Ended with 1600+ Fun map!

[@AlienWacker]

On an "Unlimited Roads" challenge, I want to see an infinite score and one building... :)

[@Retroflux]

I wish that was possible but the house spawns are tied to the growth of the city overall (as far as I know), so you'll never be able to score an infinite run with just a single building :(

[@travisdrake660]

I tried this as well and the game killed me at like 600 points

[@zeroAls]

why not block every square with unlimited road tiles??? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 Of course you need to let some building to spawn, but it will be heavily controlled spawns. let there be a 2x3 + 2 empty tiles so next mall will spawn there.

[@Arthur_da_dog]

Hollyshit i just played after coming back from work and I got 3rd place with a score of 6.3k

For Retroflux: [Weekly] High Density, Unlimited Roads Challenge - Mini Motorways Please fix the title. It hurts.
