We're just getting started here, wait until you see some of the scores I pull off...
Cool
Neat
Exciting!
love the content keep it up
Lets see.
When all of the businesses fail simultaneously, then that is really good. Just like when building a bridge, the goal it to eliminate weak points. So, if the bridge fails at every point simultaneously, then the stress was evenly distributed. Honestly, this looked like a pretty solid run
"The idea is to segregate the different communities" - Tyler
Truly, this must be a scalable idea for real-world scenarios.
@The Almighty Ninja Oh yes we all remember The Witness right?
CANCELED
Jk jk
@@thepootato canceling you for not actually canceling tyler
Totally didnt write “tylrr” the first time
I think you can put little diagonal road dashes (not attached to anything) in open areas to keep thing from spawning in places you don't want
Very handy tip
I saw that in a very high level speedun
@@christophermoore6110 What was the goal of the speedrun?
@@paintywig1159 highscore
@@ilpaperonepacifista8616 Wouldn't that be trying to get a highscore then rather than a speedrun? Forgive me if I'm wrong or being an ass for being technical
Tbh biggest difficulty spike between Motorways and Metro is that you don't instantly get your roads/etc back when you delete them, making the "delete everything and redraw the map" strategy pretty much impossible. Managing things under increasing pressure is quite the difficulty tweak
_YOU CALL THIS RESISTING ARREST? I CALL THIS A DIFFICULTY TWEAK-_
that and the traffic is over-simplified and there's a bug where a shopping mall thing pops up already impatient and you just kinda lose

Reasons for segregating the colours: "I'm just trying to improve traffic flow." (Especially the yellows)
NO
THAT'S ILLEGAL
YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO SAY THAT
@@minecrafting_il he can say whatever he wants regardless of how it makes you feel
@@minecrafting_il I don't know if this is a woosh or not, but, free speech exists lol, and i do think he phrased the way he did in order to joke with the context.
Seems like something a beijing mayor would say
@@kalkinzinsunpraiser1548 I was joking aswell
Hey Tyler, try to avoid 4-Way intersections as cars slow down at them, try to have as many 3-Ways as cars don't slow down for them.
@Isaiah Stovall Especially when the robots can phase through one another instead of having an accident lol
Also is it necessary to connect every house immediately? Like you can just make sure enough cars are getting to the stores to ensure the game doesn’t end and nothing more. Eases congestion and saves roads
I zone out for 1 minute, my resolution drops to 144p and I can't tell the difference between the city and modern art
I bought the game yesterday and it surprisingly stressful when things start to pile up
Is bad that I wanted him to loose because I didn’t want him to beat my high score of 2800
hahaha keeping that leaderboard spot is more important than all else
to lose*
"loose" means opposite of "tighten"
@@NoNameAtAll2 wouldnt loosen be the opposite of tighten
@@AnonHooman boom roasted
@@jarred4005 agreed
thank you for the arrows that you popped in for referencing specific areas of the map. the small cursor, it can be quite hard to track when you go from one side of the screen to the next and the arrows helped a ton with that
Honestly? I’ve never been so tempted to get twitch. I just have been loving everything you make and can’t get enough. With that said, I do love the quality of these videos. The little edits go a long way. Props to whoever the editor is (if there is one)

@@sapphireblue4031 good to know! But I think I’d want to share with Tyler that I love his content on stream :)
When you stay up till 5am to watch an Aliensrock video
Uk?
@@husaamrashad3133 yep
No.
Idea: do like a beltway system. As in you connect all the highways into a big circle. Then every time a new highway starts, you can build a bunch of surface roads branching right there. Possibly throw in a roundabout or two. And all the houses just connect with the beltway system and so can then travel long distances quickly and often. The key is to minimize surface leve street clutter by keeping them only as long as necessary to reach the nearest highway entry. Just some ideas from a guy who occasionally notices semi nerdy things like city planning concepts.

i mean, well done on making an identical comment to the one right above, only adding a date to seem better...
@@DodgeThatAttack lmao I noticed the other comment right after I posted this
3:09
"Man who says he 'just wants the roads to run on time' endorses segregation"
exposed
Thanks for the arrows! They are great! I'm going to assume it's because of my comment on the last one haha
Yes I love this series
12:45 how did he not realize those 2 flashing blues in the top right corner didnt have a way to get to work for the entirety of their existance?
He probably did but there's nothing you can really do about that.
@@TrueNargin He could've looped the green under them and then ditched top right yellow house.
Just discovered this game and it’s so freaking good!
RCE: ugly, but kinda well designed
Aliensrock: Boston
RCE: I love roundabouts! They are so usefu- *places roundabouts inefficiently *
Aliensrock: I love motorways! They are so usefu- *places motorways inefficiently *
i really love this game! you seem to really understand it and have a lot of fun with it! i was there for the stream where you went to moscow, and it was a lot of fun! im excited to watch this video, see bens great editing, see your great gameplay and commentary, and just have fun! really excited for more of this game!
Oh hey me
Thank you for the kind words Garrett!
@@Aliensrock of course! It's been really nice to be a part of this community! Have a great night Tyler:):)
Attaching motorways to roundabout instead of near them really helps
If you had noticed that the map expanded down one square when the second red building spawned, you could have saved some road tiles and prevented that first bad blue spawn.
I want to start incorporating “trajesty” into regular conversation
Not sure if it's auto correct or you misheard, but I think the word is "travesty"
@@asmodin88 Alien said "trajesty" at first, lol
Tragesty
@@asmodin88 Tragedy + Travesty = Trajesty
i actually do use that word xD, Such Trajesty xD
It probably has already been mentioned, and I’m only 8 mins into the video. Tyler seems like he isn’t reading the weekly resupplies of infrastructure fully. Roundabouts, lights, and bridges award 20 road tiles, while motorways only give 10. He has gotten stuck twice now bc he ran out of road tiles, those motorways are the reason. Additionally, mr. python (commenter) is correct. If you use road tiles around entrances and areas you want to keep a certain way, the game won’t generate new things in that spot. Sure, you’re using extra tiles, but it pays off when you want to force the layout of your run.
I’d say your main issue is your highway connections, place the highway a couple squares away from the junctions and use a couple regular roads to slow the traffic before they get to the junction, that way you can take advantage of roundabouts coming off of highways too.
What I’ve found playing this game is that separating communities works well at first, but in the later game when a business spawns on one side of the city and the houses spawn on the other it’s impossible to keep them separate. And then weaving through all of your separate communities makes the traffic worse than if you optimized it for multiple colors.
Also, having multiple routes for colors to go seems to help, because I always end up having one street get really busy
Loving this game keep up the great content
oo this games super fun can't wait to play it xD
You can place roads anywhere, and shops/theaters won’t spawn on top of them, thus you can place them where you don’t want stuff too spawn
I like how the game starts looking super easy, just connecting roads. Until you get later into road traffic insanity.
Brits: Those Yankees never understand our majestic roundabouts.
Kiwis: Yo. Make a game with roundabout and make it go viral.
TIL you can bend motorways like this, nice
Quick tip: put small pieces of road right next to the malls and it will stop other malls spawning right next to it.
aliensrock: "i know i have a lot to improve"
aliensrock's video title: no
Improving traffic flow is one hell of an upside for segregation.
10k + player here. You need to separate the deferent business too, even tho they are the same color. Absolutely avoid roundabouts and try to go around the houses. Connect the businesses only with the closest houses and keep in mind that a small business needs 2-3 houses max, large one 3-4 houses. Connecting more than it's needed creates more problems so you need to balance the influx of cars. Good Luck.
Hey Tyler you can also rotate houses to make them fit wherever you want
I've absolutely loved the last 2 videos on this game another similar game that I think you would like is called Islanders it's on steam and it's a ton of fun
Driver tech, speedrun skips and Drive To Work% made me laugh hard.
I'm playing on my iPad so it's probably a little different but that seems like a pretty good effort for your second game. You missed opportunities at the start which would have made a big difference to your south-west corner. You could have shifted the red road to go south of the red business then blues couldn't have spawned below the red road forcing you to cross cross them.... I really didn't expect you to make it over 2000 based on your start but somehow you did pretty well.
The most times you lose is because you move the motorway to a better spot but vehicles keep using the old, bad one, because the new one doesn’t come into effect until everyone gets off the former
The devs need to make an airplane version
@@trashgarbage7234 flight paths, runways, and towers xD
Awesome gameplay! Only wish you did more screen annotations. It's not hard to get whet your talking about, but the annotations make it even easier.
I legit was watching the vod of this last night :sad:
I would put the motorways onto roundabouts so they don’t back up
At the start you had an opportunity to isolate red through bottom and save so many tiles
You need to add an outer loop. Having people using their OneWheels would help also.
Im really enjoying the mini motorways vids, keep it up!
May be try a different strategy of having a big bypass like roundabout in the middle where every different roads intersect?
cool
I love watching cities skylines
wait i haven’t watched you in so long i just remembered that i used to watch your bloons videos
Perhaps traffic lights are a good addition if you have straight roads rather than curvy roads
There might be some merit to intentionally leaving dead roads in some areas just to make sure houses don't spawn in bad places?
Also might be worth pauses and reworking every single road from the ground up just to make sure everything works as smooth as it can? Idk though that might be a bit much.
Apparently, deleted roads don’t come back, so redrawing the entire map isn’t such a good idea, although I had the same thought
tyler these vids are sick pls do more
you can connect a motorway to a roundabout if you just put a one strip piece of road in between.
Me: Yo, my new high score! 1800!
Game: You are the 135790th best player in the world
"I just want better traffic" was the catchphrase od Jim crow!
Where’s me luck be a landlord endless pear run?
I think the problem was that the roads were so efficient that they kept getting stuck in the parking lots because there were more people that the workplace capacity in most places.
Never played this game, but I’ve seen a few played….it looks like the key could be placing roads where you don’t want houses to spawn. If you stay to those types of routes, I wonder if you could group each color together easier?
Thank you for the arrows like someone suggested in the last video!
Business is booming
Love this game
My new favorite game
This man sounds like an American Mini Ladd
*_Mini Sphaghetti_*
"The idea is to segregate the different communities, just to improve traffic" lol
15:40 there's an unconnected blue house in the bottom left, think it was there for like 2 minutes
I'm pretty sure it was impossible to connect because of the houses around it.
Yeah
Also every house don't have ro be connected to a mall. In early game you only need 2 house connected to a mall. In the next mall upgrade (round mall) you only need around 4-6. The number of houses can change depends on the distance.
This is peak content
Nice
As a general rule, you need 2 houses per square destination and 4 per circular destination
I see professionals fail in the first thousand with well thought out planning. And then fricking gamers beating high scores with messy messy spaghetti LMAO
That's IRL right there
Don't feed highways directly to streets. Use some street tiles to make an Y intersection or at least separe it a bit from the other street.
I’m pretty sure you cant just keep some colors with one of their own shops
For example if you can keep red at one shop and there’s another red one on the map, those red people might want to go to those shops so that’s why the pins build up
You should be able to add more lanes to longer roads
12:45 completely ignoring the major traffic issue between the blue and green business on the left side. Needed a traffic device there or additional roads to handle the flow. The roundabout was too late
I would love to watch an experienced AI play this game
this game is great
Ohhh Ive wanted to play something like this for so long
Would triangle intersections work as rip of roundabouts
First time hearing alien curse lol
Would be insane if they merged the 2 games with the entire community so each train station in mini metro is one of the maps in mini motorways....
Ultimate challenges Imitate America Street Designs XD.
YYYEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH
I dont get it. whats stopping you from just blocking the map with roads and stuff to force new buildings to spawn where you want them to?
Only my own inexperience (and a limited road count). I think you'll enjoy some future videos.
You have a limited amount of roads.
@@Aliensrock oo, looking forward to it!
I think you might be better than The Civil Engineer
Lmao i thought you were doing some kind of collab with the youtuber Spaghetti Road
by the end his ciry is gonna look like seattle
Mom's spaghetti 😲
I played this so much
3:08 ah, so they're seperate but equal you say?
After seeing you play this i have a good game for you, the game is called Islanders
Mini Motorways: Segregation Simulator
It looks like highway 4 was only serving four houses. Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't the upper left reds see the highway as a longer route to be avoided, since it's not direct?
TYLER, YOU'VE GOTTA DO SEPARATE ROADS FOR SEPARATE BUSINESS
I must ask is this on steam? If not where can I get this?
You should end a motorway where a new one starts.
