Oi Matt, here's some engineering for you :) When the dam is working, you could make the following setup: Dig a hole for the over spill, you don't want it in your river, ideally you want it pumped back in the dam pit, but I think in this game you can't just pump water from a pump to an outlet. BUT if you where to disconnect(!) architect island from the main water supply and make a secondary network that pumps the water out of the reservoir (after the dam), through architect island, you can then pump it back up to the big pit and the circle of life begins anew. In my opinion this is the cleanest, most efficient set up, with no downsides whatsoever, everybody will win.

Nuclear power is great, its actually cleaner than solar power, so its nice that the game represents that as the plant having no air pollution or ground pollution, because IRL it produces neither of those either. Fun fact, nuclear waste is not a long-term issue, there's this thing called a breeder reactor that, while it generates power, it blasts U-238 into U-235, its something that, for some reasons I can't understand, the international community has banned, or at least for America, since I'm quite sure France and Germany run breeder reactors but we can't for stupid reasons? But anyway, a breeder reactor takes spent fuel rods, and breaks down the inert U-238 left over into fissile U-235 which can go back into a nuclear reactor to generate power for more decades, and when that is spent again, its reprocessed again, enriched again in a breeder, put back into a power reactor, generates power for more decades, and that goes on and on until its only fission products remaining, which are then processed into heavy metals that can become feedstock for the manufacturing sector.

@znix9695 3 ай бұрын

Just a nitpick, but nuclear power does produce some pollution indirectly through uranium mining. I'm not sure exactly how much, but I doubt it's worse than solar or wind. And obviously negligible compared to gas or (especially) coal. Germany did have a fast breeder reactor, it was shut down in the early 90s. It was ultimately turned into an amusement park after decommissioning. All of Germany's reactors have sadly been shut down for political reasons. France had both the Phénix and Superphénix reactors. Phénix ran for about 40 years, while Superphénix was plagued with technical issues and went massively over budget before it was shut down for a mixture of economic, technical and political reasons. Russia has a couple in operation, one of which started construction in the 1980s and started up about a decade ago, though I'd be surprised if they actually do end up building any more given PWRs are just a lot cheaper. AFAIK the US hasn't banned breeder reactors per se; rather they've banned fuel reprocessing. AFAIK breeder reactors rely on fuel reprocessing, though maybe it's possible to design one that doesn't rely on it? If the volume of waste is a concern, then reprocessing the fuel from a regular reactor will still drastically cut down on the waste by separating out the U-238 as you say. I'm not sure how you'd convert the fission products to a form that's safe for manufacturing use; some of the fission products are very highly radioactive and it'd be hard to separate them as effectively as you'd need to. If you're going to transmute the fission products in a breeder reactor, why not just treat them as non-high-level waste instead of trying to reuse them? It'd be much cheaper. Also since economics is the single biggest reason new nuclear plants aren't being built as much as one might like (at least in places like the UK or France where there's political support for it), and a breeder reactor would necessarily be much more expensive than a regular (thermal neutron based) plant, no-one is very likely to build one. There are some valid reasons to try and avoid breeder reactors, mainly around nuclear proliferation: reactor-grade plutonium can be used for weapons, and if everyone were to use breeder reactors and thus require a lot more reprocessing, there'd be more opportunities for the plutonium to be diverted. In my eyes avoiding the technology isn't really the proper solution to an ultimately political problem, but it's a valid reason none the less. Ultimately, what's wrong with just storing a dry cask indefinitely? Humans have produced (and continue to produce) chemicals that have very long environmental half-lives, while treating them with *far* less care than high-activity waste. Obviously they're a lot less hazardous gramme-for-gramme, but there's a lot more of them by volume. And unlike radiation which is both incredibly easy and cheap to identify both the amount and source of (via spectroscopy), testing for chemical pollutants is both relatively expensive and you have to know what you're looking for.

@dylandepetro4187 6 ай бұрын

I have a few suggestions for fixing your traffic issue. For the arterial roads, I would suggest changing them to six lane highways with a partition separating them. Of course you would then have to make on and off ramps to ensure smooth traffic flow. Put simply, when traffic gets too congested, just add more lanes. If a junction gets too busy, add a bypass road in or simply have a roundabout with a bridge going across the middle for straight through traffic. The bridge of course should be the busier road so that it doesn’t congest the roundabout too much.

Hey Matt! For one of your challenges, you should limit yourself to only making 15-minute city neighborhoods. Everything a person needs to live has to be within 15-minute walking distance of their home, and you should do everything you can to encourage walking/cycling and discourage driving. Public transportation can connect people to more distant locations (perhaps industrial jobs) so they don't have to drive to get where they're going. I don't know how well the game would handle this, but it'd be fun to see if you can cut down on the total amount of car traffic within the city. Maybe you could put a ton of parking garages near a public transit hub and have almost no parking anywhere else?

I like how nuclear powerplants need a readily available source of water to cool, so they are always placed by the coast where they can use tons and tons of water to cool off, and this was shown in cities skylines. But now it cities skylines 2, you just need a couple hundred thousand cubic meters a month, and it doesn't need to be remotely close to any major body of water.

Hey RCE, So I have my own poo dam, it was a pain to build it complained about NOT being on a shoreline. I destroyed it to rebuild it then it complained about being in water when I built the new dam. Anyways good luck mate! I'm giving you a heads up but you have the dam backwards. The two power connections need to be against the water/sewage or it wont generate power. The two squares that water/sewage flow through also need to be against the water. The front has 3 lines in the center, otherwise you'll never get power from it. Then we you do get it working watch for overflow and weird terrain or it will leak and flood everything. Also dont soften terrain around the dam it tends to break it and make it burst.

I leave everything around 3% tax and look for the ones that are making close to 45mil in tax's. Do note that my city has 250k citizens. when i see an uptick i either raise or drop my taxes. sometimes it goes negative and you will pay them 10% to make money back. Fields that make me money in my city is timber, petrochemicals, textiles, concrete, media, and software. Have not noticed the media or software move so i tax them at 30. Everything that is not making over 100 mill gets low tax rates enough to see whats happening. My city is over 1 billion and climbing i hope to reach a population of a million someday but pc is struggling to run the city now my speed is stuck at single.

But the solution is simple, he doesn't need water treatment at all, just dig a hole, where the poop water flows in, after passing the dam, then pump it back out in an independent pipe network and connect it to architect island (without connecting it to the city itself, but I think you can just pump it to an outlet, if it goes though buildings) and pump it back up in the dam reservoir.
