Have you ever checked out the tunnels in Norway? Crazy stuff. Tunnels under the sea, tunnels with roundabouts in them, tunnels that corkscrew inside mountains. Mad.
@@SephirothRyu Well, to be fair they are generally done under lakes and channels, where you don't really have massive waves, in places where you need boats to get through.

Matt, the reason why landscaping tools was acting weird was because the brush strength, just lower it and it'll sort out. I had that problem as well until I realized that that was affecting it.
Not even an engineer myself but I love the sight of bridges and intense engineering because it baffles me that we went from hitting stones onto bigger stones to make a sharp stone into making structures able to hold thousands of vehicles that are two tons on average
I have some tips. When you want to level a road or sea wall to one level, highlight the whole thing with MoveIt and use the make level tool that is part of MoveIt. Also when you use these drain pumps you don't have to connect them to pipes like you do. If you have the 81 tiles mod it has a setting that makes them connect without pipes. Hape I have saved you some time.
Had a glimmer of hope for a moment there that you were going to demonstrate how to get the built-in terrain level tool to work. Then you had the same problem with it I always have: that it's really "terrain lumping tool"
The aquaduct on 0:28 is located in Harderwijk Gelderland In the Netherlands i know it because i live close by of the structure. Very cool that the structure is pretty famous around the globe
The water bridge is such a cool concept that ever since you introduced it to your viewers I have been making them in every Cities: Skylines city I have. It's great for when you don't want to ruin the view but you still want people to go around places.
You can drag the water sources up and down with landscape tools. When dragged below the current water level, they act as a drain. Taken down to the lowest level can completely drain rivers and lakes. When there's pretty much just a puddle left, delete the water source and that remaining puddle will dry up very quickly. Much quicker and easier, I do this all the time (rivers in my case) when building a dam. End of the river, I'll place a water source and set it to the current level, go upstream about 1/3rd the way, place another source and drop its level as low as it will go. Place a bit of dirt taking the old waterline up a line or two. Empty at bottom of dam and top. The entire area becomes bone dry..
RCE is the only reason and inspiration as to why I took engineering. Honestly hope to make awesome bridges , sometimes strongest shape references, and most importantly can stick it to my architect friends
@@AstrumG2V Even w/all those intersections back to back to back? The space of tunnel grace covers that? If so I have some changes to make in my own game!
There’s a lot of jokes about us being the masters of the sea. Hell, there was even a countryball joke about Germany using us as a anti flood generator. (Please send help).
Hi I live in holland one of the biggest reasons for this aquaduct is it’s for sailing boats to be able to get over it without there being a 20 meter high bridge
You should build a city that's an archipelago, with bridges and tunnels connecting the islands. Bonus points if you build an architect city at the bottom before you flood it all.
on behalf of the Kingdom (the real one, the Dutch one) I claim this comment section. Hand over the spices and no one gets hurt :DDD Love your videos man, they brighten up my day.
As I sit here in my peace, love and bridges hoodie, I am appalled at you, Matt for deleting that beautiful piece of engineering. But I like the aftermath. Thas cool.
funny thing is: i don't even think any Harderwijker (or Zeewoldenaar) would even think about how special it actually is. for us it's just another way to get from one side of the water to the other
That second map is super cool! You should do something like this but where connect multiple different cities together with underwater tunnels. Then have each platform city be for different things. So like 3 for poor people, one super nice one for the rich upper class, a college city for the intellectual types, a platform for the government officials, the business districts, and like whatever else you think would be cool! Idk just an idea I think would be awesome to watch you make!
i am actually in college to train to become a building service engineer, i know that it isn't the same as civil engineering but it is engineering non the less.
Matt you could just put a port inside the sea-city so in that way you could connected the two cities without super long tunnels! 😬 And it would have looked better ! 18:05 YOOUUU... architect 😂
I love the aqueduct you showed at the beginning of the video. I was so excited when I discovered that the canal passes over the river near where I live ! 🤩
So what you're saying is that in order to solve the problem of how to not build a bridge, they ended up building a bridge... Still, it's actually quite brilliant. It allows uninterrupted flow (both for ships and vehicles), unlike alternatives such as a drawbridge, and costs quite a bit less. It's also structurally much simpler, as it only needs to support the weight of the water, not the ships crossing (floating objects displace water in all direction, the weight isn't transferred straight down).
You should get the fine road tool mod(don't think it's working with the update at the moment). It'll allow you to force tunnels or bridges when you want them.
That aqueduct is a very cool design, but if it was part of my daily commute I'd always have it in the back of my mind that some drunk boater would crash into the side while I'm driving under.
Cost is a factor for deciding on a aquaduct versus a bridge, but aquaducts are much easier when there aren't much boats with a lot of depth but there are boats with a lot of height, we have a lot of dedicated sailing routes in the Netherlands, bridges are required to open every 30 minutes to a hour to allow the sailing boats to pass, aquaducts eliminate that issue.
That in my home town! What a surprise, didn't expect that come up! Love how you pronounced 'Veluwemeer'! Had to listen 4 times before I understood what you said.. haha.
It would be easier for you to make tunnels if you didn’t have the anarchy mod active. Also I’m sure you have a mod installed that you can use to toggle a road between surface/raised/tunnel forms.
This sorta thing was much easier to cheat in Simcity 4, as the actual tunnels themselves didn't occupy real space. You could use them as superhighways to get across a city while occupying virtually no land.
First rise the terrnce enough for the game would turn it into a tunnal when you build a road though it. Then sink the ternce under water level. This is the OFFICEAL guide on how to build under water tunnal in SIMCITY 3000! Amazing!
Ok see, this is a reason why in Germany we usually only use these in channels. But have you heard about Water Bridges that go across different bodies of water? Those are incredibly fun.
You're gonna need a lot of beavers pumping their logs to get rid of all those floods
They are going to pump their log hard
@@superkid5485 so hard! They may end up flooding somewhere themselves.
Y’all going too far😂😂😂
@@obi-wankenobi2042 maybe not far enough 😂
You're gonna need more than beavers
This is probably one of the most difficult videos Matt made. He needed to justify the aqueduct by saying bridges are ugly 😂😂
I do not understand why - an aqueduct are after all a water bridge . So no need to be ashamed for having such a bridge
@@andreastyrberg7556 I was thinking the same too. He can be proud of what he had done today without dissing out bridges 😂😂
@@andreastyrberg7556 What he build wasn't even close to anything resembling a aqueduct though, it was just straight up tunnels
@@GummieI If it makes you feel better, that's just because he had to cheat a bit to get it to work in game.
aqueducts are basically bridges but for water
Have you ever checked out the tunnels in Norway? Crazy stuff. Tunnels under the sea, tunnels with roundabouts in them, tunnels that corkscrew inside mountains. Mad.
I’m pretty sure my architecture professor is a fan of yours, he’s made our class motto “so the engineer’s suffer”
Surprise wholesome comment. I love a good rivalry.
That isn't just the architect's motto?
its like in law enforcement fbi and cia hate each other maybe hate is not the right word but constantly at war
@@mandowarrior123 It's certainly spelled the right way for an architect.

Never out of content!
@@meltedcalippo yup
Yes
Yeah good work Matt
I would too for money
"Why isnt he a civil engineer anymore?"
"He kept building tunnels when they told him to build bridged, then hed say he never built a bridge before."
I feel like this is something an Architect would make very Heretical
Very inefficient. Very prone to storms too.
@@SephirothRyu Well, to be fair they are generally done under lakes and channels, where you don't really have massive waves, in places where you need boats to get through.
i am so impressed with what matt can do, i bought cities skyline bc of him and i can barely make a decent city
i ended up buying a couple of games from watching him, though city skylines isn't one yet.
be aware that there are maybe 6-10 mods that are essential for better gameplay in cities skyline.

Hey for real this channel has made me appreciate good civil engineering. And notice when they were thinking like architects
Bro he’s playing a game it’s not nothing like real life infrastructure
As a resident of California I see a lot of bad civil engineering. So I very much appreciate the good instances.
how dare he, I demand an emergency meeting on the council of bridge reviewers to determine if Matt should have his reviewing right revoked!
Lol, I came back cause Matt liked my comment... guess its time to rewatch the videos XD
I love that RCE has done a lot of things about/with the dutch =)

And allows a lake to span a highway... 🤦♂

Seeing all those tunnels back to back to back, I really wanted to see your traffic map to see if it all turned red w/congestion.
Tunnels don't suffer traffic penalties in Cities Skylines, irl they totally do xD
@@AstrumG2V Even w/all those intersections back to back to back? The space of tunnel grace covers that? If so I have some changes to make in my own game!

studied engineering for one year,from what i heard from the teachers,you are very innovative.engineers always have to be creative :D
And in the end, he essentially built New Orleans lol
Considering how often his last build flooded, I'd go with Florida or the Bayou.

Hi I live in holland one of the biggest reasons for this aquaduct is it’s for sailing boats to be able to get over it without there being a 20 meter high bridge
what is the draft of the aqueduct? that could be the limit to many large boats
@@taylor.... 3 meter or almost 10 ft
2:12 Ah yes, I can imagine the Dutch selecting a paint brush that can completely change how the ground looks in seconds and saying "Pefect!"
=17 minutes of complete and absolute carnage=
“I think this was a *huge* success!”
Ah yes, it’s an RCE video! 😂
In Germany we have something even more breathtaking, the Magdeburg Water Bridge. This is a canal bridge over the Elbe river.
This design is something that could be on a dystopian sci-fi movie
The sword of Damocles happens to be made of a huge amount of water to drown everyone with no warning or escape!
5:45 Ahhh yes, a civil engineers worst nightmare… sharp water
Hi Matt, I think you need to switch to brushes with a softer edge for extra landscaping tools (the brushes with a wider yellow outline)
2:49 bro drew a whole sausage factory 💀

Now i want to see RCE make venice-like city using the latest dlc…
Growing up in a city (in NL) with an aquaduct I’ve never realized it was so special 😅.
boats irl: water only
boats in city skylines: i am amphibious

As a Dutch I couldn't figure out what he said. It was only because I recogniced the place that I knew what he meant.

Recently found your channel... And I tell you... I laugh every time for the entire video. Thanks for the amazing commentary, and content!
16:36 nice commercial btw
😂
Can we also appreciate Matt trying to pronounce the word Veluwemeer?
dank geen idee dat hij Veluwemeer bedoelde
1:45 I like that view too bro just a load of bridges. . . Lovely.
I live next to that specific aquaduct. Its quite nice
funny thing is: i don't even think any Harderwijker (or Zeewoldenaar) would even think about how special it actually is.
for us it's just another way to get from one side of the water to the other
"oi, oi, youre not meant to do that you knob"
matt- 6:10
The reason the landscape tool was bumpy was because of the size of the brush, the intensity of the brush or the type of circle you were using
"bridges are expensive, let's make a bridge for water"
HOLD UP I ALWAYS RIDE MY BIKE THROUGH THERE TO GO TO SCHOOL LES GOOOO
Hahaha ziek
yes, almost certainly what they did in real life was they went to the terraforming tab and selected the level tool.
Someone needs to tell RCE he can build a bridge in Construction Simulator (2022). If no one has already.
Was feeling depressed, nothing was interesting, just sitting alone, but I scrolled to your video and yay, your vids are always nice to watch.
"normal sort of bridge"
