Can someone make him a mod that adds bright pink g wagons to the traffic?

In retrospect, I should have seen that ending coming.

not matt slowly decending into being an architect. did you see how excited he was to put down an arch

"Not all criminals are architects, but all architects are criminals" -Matt (probably)

Matt should be a city layout designer he has the most efficient designs

It was at this Moment when Matt said, that he will built another circle, and you realized that this city will be very efficient.

20:43 - Took me until this point to realize just how efficient he was going to make his city. As soon as he started questioning why he built two, it hit me. Well played.

Man, I'd love to watch an entire series building a city using the whole map in CS2, like trying to make the prefect city or smth

I belive they raise the bridges/raised roads in areas like this so wildlife can travel safely without getting killed. They do the same thing with many pipelines.

We had Mountains of poop, Triangle cities, Inpossible take-off airports, poop floods, line cities, triangle cities, *american* oil fields, chaos highways... A circle city? Normal day

Watching Matt create the first circle, I straight away thought "he's going to make a second then a long shaft" Well done Matt, you fail to disappoint

People: "Great Brittain has too many roundabouts" RCE: "Shut up and hold my schematics book"

Okay the efficient layout caught me off guard if I’m being honest 😂

Why not hexagons, the bestagon in place of a circle? You'd get circle like qualities but with the ability to tile like a grid layout.

I felt that milton keynes joke in my soul. It's 50% concrete and 50% 'live, laugh, love' houses but honestly I kind of live for it 💀

Matt: "Should I make a second circle"... me: It's a knob joke incoming

As someone who lived in Moscow, the rings roads (there are 3) were a nightmare to walk or drive.

There is actually a city in germany named "Karlsruhe" that has a circular city center. It looks really nice in Google Maps

I love how he does all these "crazy" challenges and what I find most weird is the lack of mods he uses. I can't imagine going back to vanilla after years of mods. So much that I'm even worried I wont like Cities 2 at first because I'm worried a whole bunch of things I'm used will just not be there. Like, after having Move it and the Network Multitool, going back to building without those just sounds painful.

1:00 we have "bridge roads" like that where i live, its mostly on the outskirts of town where it floods every time it rains, i think there might be rice fields there too, so it is technically useful

This circular City reminds me of FrostPunk. This starts Day 1 of me asking the Royal Civilized Engineer to Play Frostpunk

i have to say cities skylines is probably one of my favorite games youve played! i hope we'll get a new series once CS2 comes out...

Matt you should have used the hydroelectric dams since the are curved and fit the circle

Matt wants to build a circular city, builds a semi-circle

:44 bridge is in a flood plain. Raised for the 500 year flood. As a former drainage engineer, I expected more from you :P

17:32 this is literally the same thing as in a region in my area called "azoty", there are some chemical plants and next to them is a "medium school" a Polish school before collage

Ok... i did not see that coming. Well played!

Right when he said “I’m gonna build another” you knew what was coming lmao

I was actually impressed for how long he built a circle without making it a pe**s. Love ur vids:D

You should do a hexagon city next cause Hexagons are the bestagons. (They’re my favorite shape also I’m studying to be an Engineer. Not a civil engineer, but an engineer nonetheless.)

Matt never amazes me how he insert most efficient design everywhere.

I've been watching so many Cities Skylines videos, I literally had a dream about RCE doing a collab with City Planner Plays, RT Game, and Biffa Plays... They were each doing one step of building their city and then reacted to the end result. It was complete and utter CHAOS lmao There was like. an alien invasion. and dinosaurs came back to life. one of the most entertaining dreams I've had

It looks like a frostpunk city but before the endless winter. Also, quite a good game

Man i just cant stop watching this guy well done for maki’g this entertaining videos about cities skylines

As soon as he started to build a second circular city, I knew what was coming. 😂

This video is the one I finally wanted to play this enough to wishlist it on my Steam and Epic stores, already was a big fan of Engitopia and all the awesome content of this game. Hoping it comes on sale and able to buy it, but keep up the great work in this game Matt! (And Engitoptia could use more work to the pokeball to expand on the circular idea, just thinking for content that I know you'd enjoy actually doing the work on.) But the ending layout....I should've never doubted this was where Matt was going to begin with. Typical Engineer. But great vid! Kind hoping you do more with that concept at least!

I'd love to see this city continue. It looks very strong. ;-) I've been playing with mods more lately, now that I have a mod that lets me continue to earn Steam achievements. I was wondering if anyone who reads this and is currently playing the original Cities Skylines knows if there's a mod that lets you go beyond nine tiles that works with the latest update. All the "more than nine tiles" mods I can find are non-functional with the current version. Thanks!

The best time off the day is when rce uploads and I have a tea it’s just magical

The second you mentioned ypu were making a second round city i was waiting for the shape, it never came. Then BAM! it was all in my face.. never doubted you for a second

Yep, the moment Matt said “I want another one” I knew what he was up to

I was watching this, fully expecting it to be made in the most efficient way possible. Matt, my friend, you did not disappoint. Cheers!

Please keep this as a series its so fun

Matt is showing potential to be an ice-apocalyptic city planne. All he needs now is to put a large generator at the very center

The answer to title is yes. Single direction roads, each layer flips direction, single direction roads that connect the layers. Every single connection is either a split or a merge. The busses have two modes, 1) around each circle in a loop, 2) from the inner to the outer in a loop. Secondly, public transport everywhere, make it free. *No* *congestion* because there are no personal cars on the roads because nobody needs cars. Thirdly, put districts close to each other, make sure people can walk to the shops no matter where they live and most can walk to their work. I was able to get to a _million_ population back in 2015 or so. The only chokehold I had was the lack of a port. Also don't waste precious land area on power plants, use water based wind turbines. Just hundreds of wind turbines, if you cover a big enough area then you'll _always_ find wind.

I damn near spit my glass of water onto my keyboard seeing that efficiency

You know it's a good day when RCE uploads. (which I think is almost every day)

Now that you've started with circular cities, you might as well start a Frostpunk playthrough.

One thing right off the bat I can see a benefit that with circular roads is that people can’t speed to fast of they have to turn constantly

10:19 "rich people pay more taxes" oh my sweet summer child...

Matt builds circle, but ends up building the most efficient shape that architects will never dream of.

20:55 jajajajajaja I didn´t expect that xDD

"oh no it's a cat, why would you take a cat to school" 15:28 not only that, it's a 50-lb cat. some freshman's getting killed and eaten 🙀😼

Saudi Arabian Government taking notes to announce new city.

I say this often but I hope you know how much joy these videos bring me 🖖♥️

18:46 This is beautiful chaos.

The bridge starting a long way from the water is something quite common on the European mainland, because rivers generally overflow during specific seasons. Not sure why you don't know about this concept.

I always love RCE cities skylines and Timberborn videos! They are some of my favorites

The very moment that you said you were making a second circular city... I understood what has happening. You should have used the water for an additional effect.

as soon as you said you were gonna make another circle, i immediately knew you were going to build an efficient city...

The bridges for no reason would probably be either wild life or flood planes

Such a strong city design!

I would love to see you build a brand new city that only runs in renewable energy if its possible at all and that someone will one day use it as a reference

These circular cities work great for pedestrian areas.

Can we talk about his psychotic bus line, "oh it'll take you anywhere" as long as you want to go in one specific direction and then never fuckin come back

Love you enthusiasm with you're videos, always puts a smile on my face

You know its a good day when Matt posts a cities skylines video!

Welp the citizens are crying again😅

you should get the plazas and promenades dlc for the the pedestrianized stuff and also high capacity service building so you don’t have to keep placing them

I hated that I knew where this was going. I hated the fact that Matt pulled it off so flawlessly. I hated the fact that I still laughed.

Thank you for doing a Cities skylines Video! I love the cities skylines videos the best on your channel!

That is a rare architecture type bridge.

0:43 I agree that in-game it doesn't make sense, but would a IRL possible reason for having a elevated approach to a bridge be that the approaches are in a flood plain? Having a elevated bridge approach in the low lying areas adjacent to the river the bridge crosses would mean the bridge wouldn't end up out of service in the case of a flood.

15:30 The size of that cat OMG!! 😂

21:07 AYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO😂

Did I understand correctly that you'd rather people become burglars than architects? Dude. This rivalry runs deep!

I should have realized how that was gonna end from the title, but I was naive and it flew completely over my head. Well played Mr. Engineer man.

Day 69 (nice) of asking Matt to play Mindustry. Did yall really think im stopping? Im not im continuing this until he plays it, its literally a tower defence and builder game, literally perfect for Matt, Matt please play it or just ask me to stop, anyway, im continuing if he doesn't do anything. See you tomorrow guys. :) Fun Fact: today is my birthday.

When the giant cat started turning and levitating at 15:29 i started laughing

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! I've been waiting for a new Cities Skylines video from you, Matt. You just made my day!

Awesome vid matt!!!

Matt knows the ideal shape city is 2 circles with a stretching length with lakes at the end

YES MORE CITIES SKYLINES

Should've put either circle(eye) on either side of the river, so that the "face" is split in two, allowing him/her to drool.

You stole my idea! I just made a circular city a few weeks ago that did amazingly. You were the reason I played city skylines again in a long while and figured I should challenge myself like you do so I chose a circular template and it worked well. Great video even though I feel robbed. 😂

the setup to the final was so perfect I did not see it coming ! I dont know why I built it it from the corner.. me thinking yeah stupid matt you should have built it from the center... IT WAS ALL A SET UP !!

Tip: remove zoning from roundabout and busy junctions and sharp corners. It really helps with zoning where you actually want to.

That is absolutely brilliant!

"Rich people pay more taxes" Oh Matt, sweet naïve Matt

I can’t wait for your CS 2 videos!!!

0:57 there are plenty of examples of bridges/causeways that seemingly go over nothing... like a grass field and you might wonder why they do that... there are many reasons this could be the case.. like flooding... the region could be prone to rare flash floods... ie its a flood plain. if it doesnt happen often, it might look like a desert or a green field... maybe only once a year it floods.. but u dont want the road to be underwater.. then, there are regions that in tundra areas become boggy and marshy in warmer weather and are solid in winter.. it might be a wildlife migration route for protected species... there might be 2 bridges one needing to be higher, so maybe they thought.. just connect them both at the same height, having the road be more level in general.. this happens more with train tracks than roads... but lets say its a nation where it gets a lot of ice.. maybe a level road is better for fewer accidents? rather than a steep incline to the bridge.. the bridge might need to be high for specific tall ships to pass under.. im sure if you thought about it there are many reasons why this might exist...

This is how cities were originally constructed; from the center out in a pseudo circle. It is perhaps the best way to construct

Its 5pm, time to do the washing up whilst watching RCE

this is one of my favorite videos of yours

21:00 Well I didn't see this one comming. 😂

Oh, that reveal had me in stitches

That's a bridge design to stop the road from flooding during certain times of the year. A good example would be the bridges on the Mississippi River.

IRL Bridges over grasslands are actually floodplains. Australia is pretty flat but where we have mountains we got some huge floodplans we've had to learn hard way NOT to build bridges, ya can't always go around. It's very pricey

This immediately bring Black Rock City (Burning Man) to mind! Very cool!

Fun fact: it is believed that the legendary city of Atlantis was a circular city, whether it is real or not

The 20 random minutes was worth it for the great last minute reveal!
