Honestly I'd have been more surprised if it wasn't shaped like that. Imagine how surprised we'd be if he pulled back for the final reveal and it was a car or a shark or something yonic.
Idea for a challenge: 1. Start new game (unlocked everything) 2. Pause 3. Build a whole city in one go 4. Unpause and never build again Just to see how well you can balance out the city outright and if you won't forget anything important ;)
I believe you put all your farms on non-agricultural land lol they aren't producing anything as you can see at 15:43 My head cannon here is that there is a black market for food and other stuff in this city where people bring in things using tiny boats since the bridge was destroyed.
Got my man Tazuna sneaking out to hire a team from the Hidden Leaf village to free them from Gato the engineering magnate, but he's trying to pay the hokage in terabytes.
Tip for Matt: The reasoning behind why industrial did not fill in around the landfill what not because of the landfill. It was because it takes 12-20 months to graduate from a university not to mention the previous education steps to enable university education. In addition to this, (I have said this before and I'll say it again) there is a job overlay you can check. More people equals less jobs available, less residential and higher industrial demand due to unemployment. This works inversely as well. ! Hope it helps and thanks for the video! ;)

As a longtime CS player and mod user, watching you build in this game is both painful and wholesomely entertaining. The shore wall thing is easy tho. Build the road further in, then use landscape tool to remove the little strip of land between the road and water, let the water fill in that space, bob's your uncle.
Matt: *makes the very reasonable decision to ensure the city won't be covered in trash and pollution before building* Also Matt: I don't know why I prioritized that.

How embarrassing for you, you must feel like such a right "strong shape" right now or you will once you've looked it up and learnt some more English!

Whenever I play, my city suffers from "not enough supplies" even though I have every possible building down, with like 30 roads connecting the city to the outside highway for import / export. Whenever you play, the very ground shakes at your wake.

18:33 The cable is under tension, the bridge deck is under compression. As long as the bridge deck and its connection to the cable hold, the bridge wouldn't collapse. Trust me, I took 1 semester of Engineering.
The easiest way to make the seawall road is put the road on the ground and then lower terrain only to the middle of the road. Then remove the road and place it again.

You do realize that architects have been around since around 300 bc the Eiffel Tower Was designed by a architect, the Statue of Liberty, the coliseum in Rome, and many more structures that have been around for centuries were designed by architects so saying they are dumb is saying that every structure over 200 years old that is a great piece of architecture is dumb. Love you Matt keep up the good work.
One day, a boy will be born on this island who seeks freedom and will keep moving forward until all his enemies are destroyed on the other side of the sea
when playing this game i would create a city with about 1000 people then i would cut off the exit and raise the taxes until everyone went so poor that they died then i would reconnect the city
@@SkarletShadows He can't help himself. A million rces in a million different games in a million different times and places will always draw the strongest shape.
Took me like 30 seconds to figure the strongest shape of the island xD The "circular shape" with hair was a dead tell :3 I have seen enought RCE videos to know where this is goin xD
Inspired by this video I tried building an isolated island myself. Went pretty well, everyone was happy, more births than deaths. However no one arrived at my island but people still “escaped” while the was no way in or out.
Hey RCE I just started playing Gnorp Apologue and I think you'll really like it. A good mix of idle clicker meets lo-def terarria kina game. BTW thank you very much for the MicroCivilization recommendation. It's a little pricey for the current content, but if they come up with some more eras it will be totally worth it in the long run!
Ok just got to say it, even though you have probably heard it a million times already, buuuutt,,, would love to see you play Palworld. It would be hilarious to see it paled from an Engineers perspective. Love the videos my friend. Keep up the great work!
I love that you built a completely different island for the thumbnail to not give away the joke of how it was really shaped.
Honestly I'd have been more surprised if it wasn't shaped like that. Imagine how surprised we'd be if he pulled back for the final reveal and it was a car or a shark or something yonic.
I was so interested in a triangle self sufficient city ; u;
kinda short for an island though huh? or is that just an engineering thing?
I'm a software engineer, and I also didn't know software weighed anything. You learn something new every day. (Especially when you're subbed to RCE!)
all those 1s and 0s mate
All the internet data weights less than 100g.
You can imagine how productive the software engineers of this island are.
It's all those AOL cd's of yesteryear
yes
Yes, I'd like 15 lbs of software, please. And a quart of compute time (I'm spoiling myself)

Great Idea
man has hardly any population but has enough infrastructure and upkeep costs for tens of thousands of people lmaoo
as if cs2 is anywhere near complex enough for that to not be a randomizer challange with extremly positive odds for the player
Piss easy
@@LiftandCoa Counter Strike 2 is not that complex...
Took me a grand total of about 5 minutes before noticing the island was a knob
First time? 😂
it's the optimal city layout
Took you that long? When he buildt the trench I thought it was already quite obvious.
12:25 he zoomed out and I saw the Knob
Took me the entire video 😂
12:22… oh.. didn’t know making the island that shape was his intention.. 😂
I was like that looks like....ohhh lololol
Frrr

He wanted an efficient city, and that is the most efficient shape (source: RCE).

12:24 i had to pause the video and admire the sheer beauty and elegance of the island this legend made.
8:56 little twiddly bits. Sure RCE. You definitely didn’t make the island an elephants face with hair coming off the ears.
I like where he put the tip though.
Building farms on non-fertile land is certainly a bold move!
What a good pun!
hey Matt, for the next cities skylines video - **could you make a city on the steepest hill?**
i mean- how different would that be from this? lol
@@Yilmaz4 Less structurally efficient.
it could be the female equivalent of this island's shape. all the layers could be more and more hills and crevaces

I was way too far into this video before I picked up on how efficiently you had shaped your island.
12:20 why is it that shape 🤔
I noticed him calling the dump the “tip” and thought it was silly. I think I understand now
I for one am absolutely shocked that Matt decided to shape his island like a certain human appendage. Shocked I tell you!
I know it has a striking resemblance to a d!(k

The palm islands were a symptom of architecture, which is why they failed.
They did this test in real life as well. Great Britain.
eurotunnel?
There is a reference in Timberborn to your UA-cam channel. Last building in the water section. Build it then read the saying about it.
I can't open the game now, but am curious what the reference is. Please enlighten me.
You have to play as the iron teeth. It is the bad water discharge. It reads "Only real civil engineers are allowed nearby"

i didnt even notice 💀

Strong shape. Looks firm. Inspires confidence.
Your city looks suspicious
Very interesting rocket ship shaped island!
If you reload the map the issue with bridges or roads being inside water gets fixed. Thought that would eventually get fixed but guess not.
"It's like the Palm Islands, if they weren't a failure."
LOL
Dubai is about one of the stupidest experiments in hubris.
what makes you think that?
There's always the moment where you realise how efficient it is shaped. You can try to hide it, but weve learned the twisted ways of the engineer

Poor Matt, he forgot about boats.
But the boats weren't actually connected to the city in any way, were they?
@@Red-Tower they weren't cuz he didn't build a ferry or a cargo so no boat

Test witch connections are the best
Have an couple of island
One witch only a boat connection
One with only train connection
One with only air connection
One witch only walking connection....
I love this game so much! So much freedom!!
You do realize that architects have been around since around 300 bc the Eiffel Tower
Was designed by a architect, the Statue of Liberty, the coliseum in Rome, and many more structures that have been around for centuries were designed by architects so saying they are dumb is saying that every structure over 200 years old that is a great piece of architecture is dumb.

The poo chute on the gooch was a lovely little nod to realism.

I believe the island needs to seek medical help. If its developing spiky protrusions, you've developed a deadly architecture based illness.

12:23 That is a amazing island shape lol
when i saw the shape at 12:20 i had a heart attack💀
Should have had the sewage shooting out of the tip
If that's where you think it should come from, you should probably see a doctor.
THE SHAPE!
What happened to our bridge reviews? Matt please bring them back.
they are still here. One from the shapez vid. yes i have only seen that one for like a month, but they're not gone
He Killed a bridge... clearly an architect
Thing is, I think he's already reviewed all the Cities Skylines bridges.

They are obviously breakwaters to protect the shore. A fundamental part of efficient island city design.
I watch your videos every night and fall asleep but tonight I couldn’t because of the music in the background 😂 drove me crazy!!!
I believe your city would grow if there was another, more attractive city, near by.
Considering how isolated it is, probably ANY island would have the same response.
Hey RCE, the taxis and buses can have electric upgrades, so they don't use fuel.
"If the people are uneducated, than the society is doomed. That how architecture started after all" - this bit absolutely sent me
truly the strongest shape

Hey matt! Why not make a map with 2 separate island, 1 for engineer and 1 for architect! So we can see the difference 🤣
