I had an idea where there could be a two player game where one person plays a Mini Metro playthrough while the other person plays Mini Motorways but they both play the same map simultaneously. Both players need to be on their toes as they will need to strategize on what the best way to place track and road as each store and station pop up in succession. I feel like this could get too complicated and hectic but I feel like it could be fun for the strategists out there.
"I finally optimized my motorways to account for train traffic, after five whole upgrades" _"I don't like how this rail is angled, I'ma change it real quick"_ "Oh for-"
I do like them but I wish they were a bit less zoomed in because it gets a bit disorientating sometimes. Maybe a quick zoom in and out transition/animation could help instead of the jump cuts
I wonder if they’ll add overpasses now that trains are a thing. Removing level crossings helps both the roads and trains go faster, so it would be interesting
My main strat for mini-motorways has always been a main road that everyone connects to. It works just fine as long as you know how to manage and you dont constantly have to think “oh i have to keep the different colors separated”
Crossing Mini Metro over to Mini Motorways is so obvious that I am shocked that they didn't do it earlier. Definitely gonna pick this back up after a long hiatus!
Learning about the segregation stuff absolutely ruined this game for me, oddly enough. I was in it for the traffic management, and realizing that the game incentivizes keeping your network as disconnected as possible just killed my interest in an instant, because it turns it into a different kind of puzzle than the one I wanted to solve. There's a very similar game that gets a lot closer to what I want called "All Quiet Roads", where buildings of a certain type spawn traffic headed for every other building type, but some types are more common than others. So your residential districts have different traffic requirements than the single airport servicing the whole city. In that way it feels a lot like a cross between Mini Motorways and Mini Metro. It's not nearly as pretty, but the subtle changes to the mechanics really improve things for me.
This is exactly what peeves me about this game. It heavily incentivizes making collections of neighborhoods, rather than functioning cities. Segregation is the best solution because the pins are incredibly colourist, rather than changing utilization based on traffic. Mini Metro has as much to do with civil engineering as BABA has to do with sheep: it's just an art choice.
AQR was almost taken off of steam because a certain, "larger game company" requested a cease and desist for being too similar to them.... I wonder who that could be 🤔 I actually majorly prefer Mini Motorways & Metro to AQR and I can for sure see the similarities, there is absolutely no denying that.... but it is just depressing to see a game company gain traction and then immediately try to monopolistically kill off it's competitors, especially from solo devs
That's your opinion, and I will respect it as long as you remember that there are people who prefer the puzzle this game offers of trying to find a way to seperate things with limited space.
I can't help but wonder if some traffic lights off the motorway exits would've helped your blue businesses toward the end there. Those areas were the main areas of slowdown, and maybe more efficient traffic would've saved you.
Or just spacing out the motorway exits from the business entrances, adding a roundabout if you have the space. Having road crossings right at the entrance of the businesses choked them.
Now imagine a 2 player co op version where one player is playing motor ways and the other is playing metro and they have to do their best to not screw each other on like a 2-3x size map
I feel like just connecting more houses to a building isnt enough, you also need to make sure the traffic flow is able to come in and out in a single direction. At the end, the blues seemed congested just trying to enter the parking lot with cars coming in on both sides, and coming out turning on both sides, which causes pauses every time
still baffles me that people don't see the value of traffic lights. You have 2 segregated lines where the most efficient path makes an X shape, that's what traffic lights are for
you do a really good job of reintroducing us back to the game w/o making it mundane / boring for regulars -- even ur editor highlighted when a business updates to a circle via a smol zoom in as u were talking about it. really appreciated but also super smart 👍
Wow, what my luck. After nearly 2 years of not playing, I decided to literally redownload it today. And of today of all days they released a big update
I wanna see you do a challenge run where every house must meet up on the same road FIRST, then that one main road goes to every business. You can play it on an easy map because it's an intentionally difficult challenge.
they would've likely saved the run for a good bit longer. Tyler is still under the impression that they're more of a hinderence like they were off release but now they're near roundabout levels of good

that's actually such an amazing idea but if I played this with my friends I'd end up in a Serbian cartels execution list
pvp or pve?
@@ghostbirdlary could have both as options, but I was mostly thinking of pve
That sounds like hell I hope they make it
"I finally optimized my motorways to account for train traffic, after five whole upgrades"
_"I don't like how this rail is angled, I'ma change it real quick"_
"Oh for-"
they may go fairly unnoticed but the zoom edits are absolutely crucial to the video's quality. thank you so much, editors.
yeah the editors have really stepped their game up recently (mostly due to there being more i assume)
Just the boss !
@@IdentifiantE.S Ngl, all your comments kinda sound like bot comments
I do like them but I wish they were a bit less zoomed in because it gets a bit disorientating sometimes. Maybe a quick zoom in and out transition/animation could help instead of the jump cuts
True
I wonder if they’ll add overpasses now that trains are a thing. Removing level crossings helps both the roads and trains go faster, so it would be interesting
I was thinking that too, but I think they want motorways be the only option for avoiding traffic entirely
@@theirishninja2070Yeah that would be bordering on being mini metro.
@@greenbirdgaming8691
How would an overpass turn it into MM? I don't remember that game having any roads at all.
if they add it it would probably take double the road tiles or somethin
an underrated aspect of what makes this game so anxiety inducing to watch is the slow constant zoomout
if only it was infinite
The trains are mechanically different because instead of slowly accumulating pins, the trains infrequently drop a bunch of pins at once
I didn't see it mentionned in the comments: the "double business" is actually a train station (makes sense that the pins appear when the train passes)
My main strat for mini-motorways has always been a main road that everyone connects to. It works just fine as long as you know how to manage and you dont constantly have to think “oh i have to keep the different colors separated”
Ya, but Tyler is big on segregation. lol
@@Nevir202Tyler Aliens “Separate but equal” Rock
But segregation is amazing
this is VERY inefficient as it will clog up beyond belief
I’ve tried this but couldn’t get much past 1,200 or so. Isolating roads allowed me to finally break into the higher scores.
Obligatory "I like trains" comment
I LIKE TRAINS
I like trains🚂
🚉
Suddenly asdf movie.
Train 🚊
Crossing Mini Metro over to Mini Motorways is so obvious that I am shocked that they didn't do it earlier. Definitely gonna pick this back up after a long hiatus!
so grateful im able to watch tyler run a train on his city's residents
what 💀
I guess he's still pegging us, even with a different game.

Have you seen the game freeways?
Oh that game sounds really cool I’ll check it out!

@@krono996he only had one roundabout the entire video
@@partywumpus5267 no he got a second one near the end. Never placed it though
@@Thk10188965 oh oops yeah he gets one at 16:28
Now imagine a 2 player co op version where one player is playing motor ways and the other is playing metro and they have to do their best to not screw each other on like a 2-3x size map
Could have used your new roundabout at the center blue to alleviate all the congestion of multiple roads.
This is the best edited Mini Motorways video I have ever seen in my life. Give that guy a raise.
-Definitely not the editors alt account
Mini motorways + Mini Metro. Love it!
Mini Metroways?
18:07 "Another motorway is a lifesaver" -every american city planner, ever
Finally, mini motorways is based! We can have public transportation.
So happy you came back to mini motorways, love watching you play this game
I feel like the blue got stuck at the exit of motorways. When they merge, they go 1 for 1 which is way suboptimal. Traffic lights should help there
2:22 nice road number
I don't know how I haven't seen this till now, but this was one of my favorite series to watch back in the day!
I forgot the satisfaction of seeing Tyler optimize roadways. Like putting the final piece of the puzzle in. Everything just fits… until it doesn’t.
9:28
This is why I cover the places where I do not want stuff to spawn with dummy roads
I feel like just connecting more houses to a building isnt enough, you also need to make sure the traffic flow is able to come in and out in a single direction.
At the end, the blues seemed congested just trying to enter the parking lot with cars coming in on both sides, and coming out turning on both sides, which causes pauses every time
15:37 I love how in the top right there was a blue car that went into a pink cars house.
still baffles me that people don't see the value of traffic lights. You have 2 segregated lines where the most efficient path makes an X shape, that's what traffic lights are for
The trains(other than slowing cars down) deliver stuff to the stations
1:08 The fact that Tyler is his nickname
2:39 Australia mentioned

They’re not circle businesses! The are IMAX cinemas!
you do a really good job of reintroducing us back to the game w/o making it mundane / boring for regulars -- even ur editor highlighted when a business updates to a circle via a smol zoom in as u were talking about it. really appreciated but also super smart 👍
I wonder if they’ll make it so that we can make train lines in the future
Its the logical next step in the evolution. They had a train/metro game followed by a road game. Now they only need to combine them
@@Teddy_Bear312i was just thinking this - the two universes combined to the ultimate transportation puzzle game.
At 15:45 a blue car gets lost and drives into a pink house before turning around due to Tyler getting rid of roads.
I like trains I usually take them when I can
Truly, a *public* *transportation* moment
2:10 We all know the real reason you took that bridge was to get to 69 roads
the "tom cruise in a mission impossible film" bit on the edit is so fire lmao
Not gonna lie, seeing you with over 100 roads and not using them to business block made my head throb.
I think you should explore using stoplights when you have 2 motorways. It would solve so much of the congestion!
Bro just combined mini motorways and mini metro.
Ya think blue was panicking because the train holds up the traffic longer at the edge, when changing direction?
Wow, what my luck. After nearly 2 years of not playing, I decided to literally redownload it today. And of today of all days they released a big update
Mini Motorways: Exists
Dinosaur Polo Club: You know, I think I miss playing with trains, add them back in.
2 minutes in and he's already thinking of forcing a car to stop on a train track to see what happens
I'm not sure who your editor is, but the segregation cut had me in stitches
3:23 Has to be the funniest thing ive seen all week
I love watching late night train videos
legend says hes still stockpiling the motorways to this day
I somehow only noticed that the train refills the special double business 17 minutes in
mini motorways convergently evolving into mini metro
Ummm, where are the protected bike lanes??
Hey Tyler, I'm visiting my grandparents, and I'm finally getting these videos at midnight!
This is how I spend my hour on my phone before going to bed. Idk what I’d do without it
I wanna see you do a challenge run where every house must meet up on the same road FIRST, then that one main road goes to every business. You can play it on an easy map because it's an intentionally difficult challenge.
dang mini metro has been out for 10 years, already? wow. I remember playing the free version as a kid.
I can't stop playing Mini Motorways. So grateful for the update!
The crossover of the century mini motorways and mini metro
by the end you've accurately recreated new york traffic
You know it's been a while when Tyler's forgotten about surge demand :)
I love watching this game. Delightfully unhinged
Maybe traffic lights at those locations where 2 motorways feed into the same business would have helped.
8:57 Its called a rogue-like.
Hey, you can't have a freeway going through Central Park at 15:02.
would traffic lights help with traffic jams at the end?
they would've likely saved the run for a good bit longer. Tyler is still under the impression that they're more of a hinderence like they were off release but now they're near roundabout levels of good
Mini Metroways
It’s look like the train was adding pins to the businesses that it crossed over :edit Time stamp of an example 17:25
The businesses that it crossed over look like they didn’t get pins unless the train was there 17:24

"[...]"
-Aliens "Tyler" Rocks
Can't believe he said that
trains.
I call these long train thingys “GO Train”
I hope in future they let you use the trains as a method of transit for the people.
I wasn't able to decide on which one to buy, mini metro or mini motorway. With this incredible update I don't have to choose anymore
Wow I can’t believe they added mini metro to mini motorways what an incredible updat
"I literally just watched the train drop off pins but I have no idea what it does"
Mini Motorways always getting better!
It's not a skyscraper, its a imax cinema!
This is great mini metro X mini motorways crossover
Next thing you know they’ll add airplanes
Oh Tyler, they added an artifact named after you in peglin
They blended mini metro and mini motorways. genius.
You kinda forgot to use all the things you picked to solve intersection jams
Most ambitious crossover event in history
Mini motorways and mini metro are made by the same people, so that wasn’t super surprising
Tell you the truth, I thought this game was already about trains, but now that I think about it, it makes sense.
Always like watching this game! Thanks
Tyler revitalizing my interest for this game once again
15:38 top right blue car gets lost
What a interesting update
waiting for them to ad buses and trams
and mixed used development
waiting for the "walkable neighborhood" update
The train acually placed down some markers whet it arrived
the trains are so difficult man they keep getting in the way
Next, we need boats and draw bridges!
“The plan is to segregate by color” -Aliensrock 2023
You not doing expert mode? That is still a thing, right?
Next thing is going to be cars in mini-metro.
oh my gawd mini metro got added to mini motorways
15:39 up at the top, did I just see a blue car enter a pink house?
no, it was just doing a U-turn, it comes back out right after
Didn't think I'd see this game again.
