    I sometimes forget that you don't have mods like move it while watching Orchid Bay, which is insane. You really know what you're doing and this interchange shows it. Looks really great and fits not only for the current situation but also for what will come after. :) Also keep the elevation, it's a nice vibe.

      His tram maintenance stops were a perfect stop to drop a warehouse on top of the tracks with 'Move It' 😂 Could have the trams go inside a shed/warehouse, stop at a stop and then come out.

    Honestly, I feel like a few villages out in the outskirts of Orchid bay would be nice.Nothing too large, low density. Take the villages in Yorkshire for example.

    Slight elevation for the train is a keeper. Enjoying all the network planning episodes too, it might feel like you're repeating yourself but every interchange, every road network you make is different so it's not boring at all, I definitely learn a lot from you still 😊
    Can't wait for what you have in store for Karen (and Sharon later on)

    Your use of terrain heights and sloping when you build networks is always on point. This is a cool take on a custom interchange and it flows really nicely. I'm always a fan of your network planning episodes, I feel like one of my biggest problems is the pre-planning of networks for future builds. Well done always OE 🤙

    I feel like the main highway on the Karen interchange needs to be elevated all the way through as it just looks better. The visual road design changes too much if only part of it is elevated. Love the network episodes Egg!

      Or do the same as the rail project, keep it elevated and levelled, becuase the dip is a bit strange, but keep the terrain high as if it is embanked, just slightly elevated from ground level

    Some suggestions for the top of that mountain where the road to nowhere from the silver birch lined interchange. I think it could work as either a new commuter town marked for development due to requirement for housing (Green cities housing, almost american-style shopping in the middle and very walkable) or an old town used in ancient times because the mountain gave a very good vantage point. With that you could also work in some kind of nature reserve and turn it into a historical tourist attraction of some kind i think

    Love the slightly elevated train, Agree that custom interchanges are better esp considering terrain and already built up areas. Would love to see a truck stop/motel build on the national road between the 2 roundabouts as you go to the forestry build side. it just feels so perfect for a start of a countryside. love the build!!

  • @bricks_and_cities
    @bricks_and_cities Рік тому +6

    The interchanges look amazing. Egg has definitely gotten a lot better at building them. The elevated train-line looks pretty good as well because it looks a lot like a recent major infrastructure project with no context with the surrounding neighborhood. Hmmm, sounds familiar. Anyways, great infrastructure work once again.

    I think it'd be funny if you were to add an "Out-Of-Town" Casino way off from anything else. Maybe gambling is illegal within city limits of Orchid Bay, but there is still a lot of people who want to gamble and would drive out there. Since it's out-of-town, it probably won't have city services all the way out there so no public transport, instead big ugly parking lots!
    I'm loving the series, keep up the great work mate!

    Your builds are the best. Youre constantly building the most enjoyable cities and creating a great atmosphere in this game. It is a challenging game to do all of this in one take. It would take me a full day or more to build and detail what you did in probably 2 or 3 hours.

  • @electric_dreamer

    I absolutely love Orchid Bay, great work, wish I could live there :D definitely keep as much rail elevated as you can it looks cool and seems safer. Also, I'd like to see more direct access from the new interchange to the downtown avenue. It looks like there is a movement missing. The avenue has easy access to get on the highway in both directions, and there is the movement from the highway that went past old orchid bay to the avenue via one of the roundabouts, but there isn't a movement from the close edge of the map directly to the avenue. Someone going that direction would have to go through both roundabouts and loop around, or go through Karen to get to the avenue which looks like it might be adding some pressure through Karen.

    The custom interchange looks "WOW" and flows amazingly. If I was a Sim driving on it though, I think I would have preferred the elevated highway portion to stay elevated rather than dip down to ground between overpasses. I like the railway being elevated. It looks so much better running through a populated area than just the basic "rails on a flat dirt path"

    Idea for far out roads and small towns: How about a golf course or country club? I know that those don’t exist in the vanilla game but you could certainly mimic the look of a golf course in the woods with the right detailing skills!

    I feel there should be a slip lane for traffic coming from the edge of the map to the downtown. At a similar to location to the downtown to the starting tile. Additionally, you added four lanes to the merging points of the highway yet downgraded the highway in between the ramps, causing 2+1 lanes into 4.

    @davidroddini1512 Рік тому

    The interchange shown at 28:47, where the highway dips underground, could easily be replaced with a single intersection at instead of two. Have the highway on and off ramps on either side of the crossing street come together at a bidirectional four lane road that has a single at grade crossing and then breaks into the on/off ramps for the other side.

  • @kassthered8452
    @kassthered8452 Рік тому

    I like the high speed rail line but I feel like the embankment isn't needed. An elevated viaduct the whole way with maybe a small park underneath could add to the whole vibe of a brand new train line being punched through an old town....
    Up into the country side mountains I'd love to see something like an old village with a castle, like you sometimes find in Europe. The hill would have provided good defense in the past so it'd make sense for a small town to still be there. Branching off of that could be some nature reserves and small country hotels.

    There is a trick for building bridges in vanilla. When you dig out the land between the two sides of the bridge really deep, and then build the bridge, it will become very smooth. Then just fill in the land to the desired height. This trick by Captain Ahvious really helps me with my interchanges.
