any chance you share the settings and your hardware config ? I want to buy the game but I'm afraid it won't run well enough to enjoy playing it. Btw, I really enjoy the "educational part" where you share knowledge. This could be more developped if you find the right game for it
I could 100% watch architect Matt create complete craziness for a city just to see architect fixer engineer Matt to make something reliable and reasonable out of the architectural disaster
Honestly don't limit it to mini grids but just 1x1, 2x2, ... up to 6x6 grids, need to provide cheaper places for people to rent after all, due to the immense demand such a city will have (and nice 6x6 places for the people with jobs in larger than 1x1 industries). We must have Gridtopia! Might need to have bigger grids for educational purposes (since certain buildings are too big to fit in a 6x6) but I think we can look past that until mods happen.
Genuinely a little sad that this wasn't an episode of him fixing Lets Game It Out's city. You haven't seen broken until you've unleashed Josh on a creative environment.
Lets be fair a real Architech looking at this city, seeing all the problems would come up with the real solution. Build a Football Stadium. Because nothing fixes a city with bad water, no electricity, no jobs etc like a multi million dollar sports stadium right?
This guy is like the Tom Segura’s Steven Seagal of civil engineering. “I was in road engineering for like ten years.” “I was a drainage engineer for the last twenty years.” Yeah dude, we get it. You’ve done some engineering 😂 Big fan, I just think it’s funny how many different specific engineering niches you can claim some expertise in. Jolly good!
I’ve learned so much about this game, but having never played it and only watched cheeky UA-camrs play it, I haven’t the faintest idea how one is meant to handle sewage in the game. Surely thirty-foot deep ditches of raw sewage aren’t the recommended solution in a game called Cities: Skyline 😂
Fantastic video as always! I think Ductapia could really benefit from some decent public transport underground (if possible with the tunnels lol) so residents can get around much faster than the crazy roads currently allow.
I just had a thought at 19:50 where Matt talks about Architects doing crime, they might be the remnants that wish to overthrow the things that he engineers to preserve their architectural lifestyles
The obvious solution to the issue is to burn everything and start over again... but even then, architects' souls still haunt the area, meaning the best course of action is to burn it, go elsewhere, and start a new city,
Did anyone notice when Matt said the one guy left the town. In the right hand corner as soon as he said that you can see his car driving out of town lol.
Matt: Trying to avoid trees, because trees have been there longer than we have. So it’s not fair that they get chopped down just because I want my people to have drinking water. Also Matt: We have a straight line to the sea, which of course we’re allowed to pollute because the de is massive. It will dilute.
I was really hoping you're two birds one stone idea was going to be a catapult that launched the dead people away. Very entertaining, very good at getting rid of dead people
Me - approaches RCE and slightly opens trench coat - "Pssssst" "Ya interested in acquiring and architectural plans? Or maybe perhaps some bootleg DaVinci?" RCE - throws hot tea in my face - "BACK! YOU HEATHEN!" Paddy - Barks and growls -
I was scrolling and saw this video.I remembered all the happy memories I have watching your vids and I was shocked of how I forgot about your channel. This is is literally the first time I seen your channel again in years and I’m happy I did see it lol
i am not an architect, but my adhd would be making thousands of roads, non symmetrical, and i would just be like "more roads, who cares about how many hours google maps is gonna have to calculate to get to one place, and also ignore the 4593457345 dollar of debt we have." an engineer would cry at this idea.
Electricity is a great way to farm XP; don't know if you've done a video on this, but you can essentially set up a small town, mine lots of rock, tax the sh*t out of the "minerals" good, and make several hundred million per month until you unlock the nuclear plant, at which point you can place and bulldoze it over and over to get 10k XP each time until you've reached megalopolis, unlocking everything and essentially speedrunning CS2. It's so broken and easy that I amassed a playtime of merely 4 hours before realizing I could do this, some of which was spent AFK.
Here’s a video idea: Your only goal is to make the population as high as possible, you can forget about everything else and just try to get thousands of people into your city 😁
Day 121 of asking Matt to add the Second Narrows Bridge, Ironworkers Memorial to the Wheel of Bridgetune It is a cantilevered truss bridge, carrying 6 lanes of traffic from Vancouver to North Vancouver in B.C. across the second narrowing of the Burrard Inlet. It's name comes from the fact that it collapsed twice during construction, which unalived 23 people in total (Hence the name, ironworkers memorial).
When I see crazy poop handling designs, all I can think of is CallMeKevin and his crazy stuff that goes even more horribly wrong thanks to natural disasters. Really enoy watching the messed up builds AND the fixes. It'd be a really cool series to get truly messed up stuff from other people and then fix it completely. That'd be fun. I learn a lot about how to properly do stuff here. Never really knew there was a rivalry between architects and engineers though. Interesting!
Could we get a equilateral triangle city where all roads meet at 60 degree angles? No Roundabouts, no curves, all angles are 60 degrees. Would make for an interesting grid system
It’ll be great if you fixed more manic cities, but have unlimited money. I’d 100% love to watch how you solve every issue, but not having to worry about money, and also do whatever is necessary. Great video. 👍👍
I have an amazing tip for everyone. It’s really important so make sure you can read this uninterrupted. This is such a cool secret. The only thing you have to remember is that whenever you *Electricity Network Online*
Architopia's roads resemble mine 😂 I thought i was being organic and breaking free from the grid. But nobody is free bc they're all stuck in traffic lol - didn't pay for large roads and highways until lvl 10 😂
As an architect student with a minor in civil engineering, this hurt me to see. But I could definitely see an architect doing this if they were to run a city.
Engineer working for government: Takes 6 months looking at obvious problem. Then has a sandwich and looks some more while they lecture passers by about what they are planning stuff... 2 years later the first workers arrive to remove sidewalks and dig a bit in the ground - taping off a huge area. 7 years go by and then when city contract is almost up the work gets finished over night and Engineers slip away in the dead of night...
Watch Architopia being built first here: ua-cam.com/video/TK2EKx0UtzE/v-deo.html

“I’ve nowhere to put the dead, so I’m gonna 2 bird, 1 stone it because what goes good with the dead? Entertainment!” 🤦♂️
I huess you've been dumped by an architect .😂
Maybe it's time to talk about actual architecture instead of extending the joke
New series where Matt fixes submitted architect cities from the fan base. Could be cool
How can there be any architect cities in the fanbase...🙄🙄
@@Sigurd_13, good point, but I'm sure there are unskilled engineers among the fans. ;)
@@skrzatuprzydomowy Right😅 you are 100% right... Can't always start on the top.

I'd definitely watch this!

Official proof Matt is actually not an engineer: 00:56
“If I was an engineer”
Same. I could as well.
Could he please fix Almaty
I feel matt needs to try fixing a city from lets game it out
@@notthatbad42💀💀💀💀💀
Architects in the shady part of town: “Pssst, hey, buddy. You looking for some plans for an indoor water feature with poor ventilation?”
Half of new housing terrains in Lima 💀
i'd love for you to take up the challenge of the mini grid city
Honestly don't limit it to mini grids but just 1x1, 2x2, ... up to 6x6 grids, need to provide cheaper places for people to rent after all, due to the immense demand such a city will have (and nice 6x6 places for the people with jobs in larger than 1x1 industries). We must have Gridtopia! Might need to have bigger grids for educational purposes (since certain buildings are too big to fit in a 6x6) but I think we can look past that until mods happen.
Little SanFran?
Built a giant road parallel to an existing highway? Definitely an engineer.
Matt missing an opportunity to say “a solution to the poolution” 3:45
Isn't the Matt that we knew.
Maybe someone as acting as Matt
It’s like a quirky UA-cam apology. Well done Matt. I know it was probably really difficult to face what you did but we forgive you.
What he do?
Matt: Haha cities on one grid, can you build a city like that?
Manhattan: *looks nervously*
the one person left when you lowered taxes cos he was the tax collector lol
20:31
Matt: “There’s nowhere to put the dead”
Landfills surrounding the area: “Am I a joke to you?”
Of course Matt knows architecture fairly well, the saying goes to keep your friends close and your enemies closer
How about a "Saving your disaster cities" series, inspired by Legendoftotalwar's "Saving your disaster campaigns". BTW Sewers Canal earned you a like.
TimberBoners boxer shorts please
Boners....lol
Get it? Boners... Boxer shorts... ?
They give you wood!
And thongs please!
Oh the puns will be fantastic!
That poo is distressingly red. I'm no doctor, but I can't help but think that they should go get that checked.
honestly tho
Matt: so if I were an engineer...
Me: YOU ARE AN ENGINEER!
In past tense
After that last video for this city, he is clearly a self taught architect
@@redghost433 nah he just needed to get to know his enemies better so he can fight them better
TRUE
@@yngndrw. You don't stop being an engineer just because engineering isn't your current job.
Genuinely a little sad that this wasn't an episode of him fixing Lets Game It Out's city. You haven't seen broken until you've unleashed Josh on a creative environment.
I hope we get to see a micro grid city
Same
1x1 buildings with 12-lane stroads, a Murica level 😎🇺🇸
Lets be fair a real Architech looking at this city, seeing all the problems would come up with the real solution. Build a Football Stadium. Because nothing fixes a city with bad water, no electricity, no jobs etc like a multi million dollar sports stadium right?
I love hearing about how actual engineers do their work. Very enjoyable.
Haha, 1:22 "you can't pay more taxes if you wanted to" In sweden the averege tax is around 32,3%
This guy is like the Tom Segura’s Steven Seagal of civil engineering. “I was in road engineering for like ten years.” “I was a drainage engineer for the last twenty years.” Yeah dude, we get it. You’ve done some engineering 😂

In this episode: Matt turns Architopia into London by recreating the Thames
I’ve learned so much about this game, but having never played it and only watched cheeky UA-camrs play it, I haven’t the faintest idea how one is meant to handle sewage in the game. Surely thirty-foot deep ditches of raw sewage aren’t the recommended solution in a game called Cities: Skyline 😂
Fantastic video as always! I think Ductapia could really benefit from some decent public transport underground (if possible with the tunnels lol) so residents can get around much faster than the crazy roads currently allow.
I would love to see what Biffa would do with your city at the start of the video.
I just had a thought at 19:50 where Matt talks about Architects doing crime, they might be the remnants that wish to overthrow the things that he engineers to preserve their architectural lifestyles
I would love to see Biffa fix the city. He's been engineering thousands of city fixes in the past. 💜
The obvious solution to the issue is to burn everything and start over again... but even then, architects' souls still haunt the area, meaning the best course of action is to burn it, go elsewhere, and start a new city,
Love how you didn't knock down any buildings (accept the abandoned house) to fix this. This is how I like to do things and living with my mistakes.
i’m sick and i always look forward to watching you it makes me happy
Two things I learned to play this game by watching this channel lol! and 2 "That house failed because of architecture" I was dying lol.
"If I was an Engineer," huh?
I see, I see.
Did anyone notice when Matt said the one guy left the town. In the right hand corner as soon as he said that you can see his car driving out of town lol.
"We respect trees"
Proceeds to kill a small tree less than 30 seconds later
4:44 RCE is calling out dogs! Paddy wouldn't be happy
Matt: Trying to avoid trees, because trees have been there longer than we have. So it’s not fair that they get chopped down just because I want my people to have drinking water.
Also Matt: We have a straight line to the sea, which of course we’re allowed to pollute because the de is massive. It will dilute.
Well, the sea is larger than the trees, if there had been a tree the size of the ocean he might've cut a tiny piece of it to make way for the road.
You know what would be fun? Run a contest where we make the worst city possible and have matt fix it :)
i really like this video idea. fixing a terrible city but not being allowed to delete stuff kind of working with the bad things
21:28 architecture spotted !!! That roundabout goes the wrong way around 😂
I was really hoping you're two birds one stone idea was going to be a catapult that launched the dead people away. Very entertaining, very good at getting rid of dead people
Who’s for a fun day out at the cemetery followed by a nice stroll along the poo stream. 😂
Putting a Band-Aid on a poorly designed system, definitely an engineer.
Big fan btw
4:59 “That one [house] actually collapsed because it was designed with architecture” had me rolling😂😂
Matt i love when you actually speak about engineering in details
Me - approaches RCE and slightly opens trench coat -
"Pssssst" "Ya interested in acquiring and architectural plans? Or maybe perhaps some bootleg DaVinci?"
RCE - throws hot tea in my face -
"BACK! YOU HEATHEN!"
Paddy - Barks and growls -
"There's always going to be gangs of architects." -That one got me belly laughing :D
I discovered your channel this morning and I think I’ve now binge watched at least 20 vids . Think I’ve found my new comfort creator
Very cool video, maybe one of my favorite of yours. I was entertained and learned a thing :)
It was quite fun watching Matt Explain the actual theory behind the engineering for the drainage
Hrm… maybe you should have your editors create challenge cities in city skylines II for you to fix? Would make a decent series.
I was scrolling and saw this video.I remembered all the happy memories I have watching your vids and I was shocked of how I forgot about your channel. This is is literally the first time I seen your channel again in years and I’m happy I did see it lol
00:07 It's real building. Krzywy domek in Sopot, Poland
@20:00 "probably some shoes dangling from them" bruh I'm dying
The chaos of those roads are putting my OCD in overdrive AHHHH lol
i am not an architect, but my adhd would be making thousands of roads, non symmetrical, and i would just be like "more roads, who cares about how many hours google maps is gonna have to calculate to get to one place, and also ignore the 4593457345 dollar of debt we have."

Electricity is a great way to farm XP;
don't know if you've done a video on this, but you can essentially set up a small town, mine lots of rock, tax the sh*t out of the "minerals" good, and make several hundred million per month until you unlock the nuclear plant, at which point you can place and bulldoze it over and over to get 10k XP each time until you've reached megalopolis, unlocking everything and essentially speedrunning CS2. It's so broken and easy that I amassed a playtime of merely 4 hours before realizing I could do this, some of which was spent AFK.
Here’s a video idea:

Intro was a 10/10 real quality 😂
Matt has betrayed us, he has been swayed by the architects
to improve the horrible lifes of citizens from this city? I don't see the problem at all
"Drinking Liquid Poo" sounds like an engineers idea for a punk band name. Matt, are you the lead "singer" of Drinking Liquid Poo?
The "sewers canal"???
Arrest this man
This is good, Matt. 👏🏼 for a hot minute I thought you we’re going to change into the Real Civil Architect. That would have been a dark day for sure

6:30 love how his reason for not pumping the ocean is potential poop and not the salt lmao
The Beatles reunion tour!!!!! It took anout 20 seconds for the joke to hit me but ince it did, wow. Nice!!!
"I know exactly how big my... my ditch needs to be." Efficiency nearly slipped in there, I think
Could we get a equilateral triangle city where all roads meet at 60 degree angles? No Roundabouts, no curves, all angles are 60 degrees. Would make for an interesting grid system
A large village of 7 people were able to operate a power plant. Now that's impressive.
i can watch infinite of matts videos without getting bored these are insane
I dont know why but that "Ah" when you delete the house at 14:43 has me fkn laughing
It’ll be great if you fixed more manic cities, but have unlimited money. I’d 100% love to watch how you solve every issue, but not having to worry about money, and also do whatever is necessary. Great video. 👍👍
But then he can solve the money. That is the most important part.
"Do as I say, not as I poo" I feel like that is a missed joke 21:55
Love your content Bro!!!! Keep it coming
0:56 - *So, if I were an engineer....*
Clip it, boys! He admits he's not an engineer!
from what i can see, the way Matt see/treat architects is exactly what biologist and conservationists see engineer. Kind of funny in a sad way.
“So if I were an engineer…” proof that he truly is the real civil architect 0:57
Thank you for going into detail on the "getting poo to flow out of town" mechanics
Just like Real Life, we make our own problem from time to time 😂
"If I were an engineer"... sounds pretty sus 🤨🤨
Matt, are you sure of who you are?
"Ductapia". Best city name to date!
Even if Real Civil Architect was once an engineer he has given up on that because he did something good for Architopia
0:55 "if i WERE an engineer"? He's actually an architect!!!
0:57 "If I were an engineer..."
legit proof he is not an engineer and is indeed an architect.
You should have The Grateful Dead in your bandstand...LOL!

Clearly need an architect to fix that city😂
That one person - the only person in the entire town - sure shat an absolute ton.
I never realized the shoes on the powerlines meant you can buy architectural drawings nearby. Definitely going to stay out of those neighborhoods.
Matt:
reduces taxes, "hopefully that will start attracting some population to here..."
the only resident leaves the city instantly....
Considering i couldnt bare to watch architopia be made this video is great for me to enjoy the aftermath
Architopia's roads resemble mine 😂 I thought i was being organic and breaking free from the grid. But nobody is free bc they're all stuck in traffic lol - didn't pay for large roads and highways until lvl 10 😂
The one person that left at the start stopped paying taxes and it let them save up enough to leave 😂
