Can a POONAMI destroy an entire city in Cities Skylines?

hello fellow engineers and welcome back to City skylines today we're going to be continuing to bust your myths because you gave me so many myths in the end of the last video so for this first one we're in we're in quite a cool map here the myth is you can use buildings to create a dam so first off I think what I want to do I want to buy a few more tiles I'm sort of thinking if I just build like a little u-shaped thing like that I should probably delete all the railways and stuff so move it mod select all of that and let's boost it out of existence so we've got a nice plain area here and if we use this this will spawn us a load of water so if I just shove that like bearish you'll see there is water coming now obviously if I don't block this off water will just continue going but I'm gonna hit pause I'm gonna go into unique buildings and we're going to select this one the high interest Tower it's basically a PS5 so we're gonna turn the building Anarchy on which means our blue bird our little Tweeter goes into a it's not a phase heavy metal and a keyboard then we'll try and place building already exists oh no my mother turned off hang a second let's just save this game Bill dayum basically I gotta quit back to desktop go into my content manager turn on not so unique buildings which means now I can plop plop unique buildings as many times as I want to and hopefully the game will still load I know there's been updates and mods don't really work anymore but the power of engineering doesn't wait for updates yes because usually we'd have to play something like that which you can see there's there's a gap between there water will definitely Escape however with building Anarchy on I'm sort of thinking if I do that sort of thing and then fill in the gaps as well then we literally have a dam made out of office buildings so let's press play and then let's see what happens when this water reaches it now what I'm hoping will happen is the water will go around the so actually can I do you think I can landscape that let's just see can I landscape over the build no I can't but anyway so yeah there are there are gaps around the edges so I'm expecting the water to escape around the edges but I'm hoping it won't go through the building so there's only one way to find out and that is to watch so the water is hitting the back of the buildings is the myth gonna be busted or is it gonna be true oh actually actually it's completely dry on this side what oh wow that water's actually that's quite high now wow look okay so the water's coming around the outside but it definitely isn't coming through the middle which I think means this myth is true you can build a dam out of buildings what I was not expecting that that's really cool uh disclaimer damn may still leak around the edges because we can't quite fill in that Gap but yeah you can really you can really see the height difference now of the water so yep that is myth confirmed let's move on to the next one so for the next myth we're in our good old friend at the tsunami map I'm sure you're not sick of it by now right guys right but the myth on this is that a meteor strike can stop the mega tsunami so if we come down to here landscape and disasters and then we ignore all these tabs and we go to this one at the end the disasters tab we have all sorts of things to play with which I sort of forgot about yeah but this one on the end is a meteor strike and basically it gives me a little Crosshair so that I can aim my meteor now first off I'm gonna do a nice little seaside resort I think just so we can measure like where the shoreline is because obviously as we've seen before as the shoreline changes like as the water level goes up and down this grass and sound line does actually move so we've got people building their seaside resort now which gives us a nice little base point to see whether we can protect them from the tsunami with meteor strikes so first things first I guess we gotta we just gotta hit it with a few meteor strikes now it doesn't appear to be a cool down on these so I I guess I can just Spam them like all the way along it I don't know I don't know how long they take either I should probably do them a little bit earlier as well actually oh man the tsunami is really moving where's the meteors oh there it is there it is nope oh no we missed we missed in a big way all right there's another one oh we definitely we definitely missed oh God what's happening up there we've like we've made like a black hole oh the meteors are like missing the tsunami they're all hidden behind it oh no right there's a lot of meteors coming in right now and we can see they're actually they're making quite a splash impact back here they're still coming in now like boosh the camera's just Auto taking me all over the place I launched so many meteors I'm not gonna lie though I've I've completely missed all of these I think what we'll do we'll predict where it's going to be by the time he gets there so let's just do a load like about that that sort of range all right there's a meteor coming down that looks like that's actually a good one oh I know it missed it missed um I will say not looking very good from a city there the big swept away and the the tsunami's not even here yet right well where's the next wave of meteors right there comes one there comes two right there you go right in front of it that's actually perfect in terms of trying to disrupt the camera keeps moving me there look at that look at that oh that is beautiful oh we can actually see that's done something not not a lot though um yeah not not really not really doing a lot those meteors even perfectly timed ones all right let's go again we're gonna have to get pretty close to the city here so come on meteors where are you oh come on meteors it's getting pretty close now I don't like this I don't like this well the meteors were late so I think that means that is that is completely busted because can a meteor stop the mega tsunami no chance myth busted anyway for this next myth we're trying to find a map that doesn't actually have water does such a thing exist oh how about the Desert Oasis that sounds like the right sort of place right so we're in the Desert Oasis the first thing I want to do is click this button down here water this lets me delete all the water sources on the map so you delete that one delete that one and basically with the more deleted we now have a finite amount of water here so oh what was that it's a buffalo careful Buffalo mate there might be a croc in there yeah good choice good choice but yeah this myth is do you fire helicopters use up water so I'm going to assume in order to get fire helicopter people to actually man them am I gonna need like people to live like do I need a population or are they like are they like autonomous are they drones I don't know but first off let's just link that I know I know that's hideous that imagine driving down this Motorway and then just anyway I'm gonna shove some roads in and then I'm gonna shove down in the emergency services tab we have these the fire helicopter Depot now it looks like these need water and electricity to work but it doesn't really say anything about needing like people to man them so I guess first things first we're just gonna we're gonna shove a load of these down then I assume because there's yeah because there's multiple problems we probably can't spawn the helicopters until we give them electricity and water so we can give them water with a water tower and then if we put some wind turbines down that should power everything although they are complaining about poo is that a problem say what let's use the the sinkhole natural disaster we'll bang it over there so as you can see here there's a sinkhole forming uh so hopefully we can just use that as like a sewage bit for now and then hopefully sewage should come out of here or maybe just water hey that looks like sewage to me but that's going down the sinkhole which it is filling up a little bit oh that's filling up quite fast actually anyway now all of these are fine so I guess first things first assuming this is the Water Source the helicopters will use this is what we need to measure so we need to make sure that this level doesn't go down at all so we'll put trees right around the edge so we'll just go as close to the water line as we can thankfully these do disappear when they go in water but anyway lots and lots of palm trees later and we have an exact water level so that we should be able to see if the if the fire helicopters use that up and the next thing we need is obviously a fire now I feel like most sensible thing to do is probably completely cover this area in trees so if we grab a giant Redwood up the brush size oh there we go that that's a lot of trees and then we can use the forest fire natural disaster so I'm going to shove this probably over in this corner to start all right so we have we have a fire in order for them to spot this actually I just remembered we need some we need some watchtowers so we'll shove that sort of in the middle there another one over there all right then if we head back over here yes look they're going the helicopters are taking off so what I'm hoping they do is where are they going where are they going oh you're not you're not you're actually not guys you weren't meant to take that water that's not water oh God that's disgusting that is disgusting okay well scrap the name of this myth this myth is actually can you use sewage to put out fires anyway back over to here I can literally fill the Heap it is blaring uh don't worry the Cavalry is here though with with their poo water ready to drop on the forest fires so there there it goes that's gonna smell amazing I oh to be fair to him they're actually they're putting a bit of a dent in the fire and this is like this is an ingenious side why don't why don't I just do this normally rather than like building pukinos and stuff I should just be putting out forest fires I mean I can only assume this as like fertilizing the land as well I'm sure there's some like Bears or squirrels down here that probably massively disagree like covered in actual poo but yeah helicopters they sure do want to use the old sewage fair enough why was that first thing to go from there that's literally further away from this is as well all right well since this works I am I'm gonna build a few more helicopters I think where are the helicopters from these new ones actually all of these they only have two out of three in use is that because they don't think the fire's big enough I mean I'm not gonna lie I don't think you guys have it under control you could definitely use another helicopter or two anyway I feel like I wanna I wanna delete this Eco Water Outlet thing so boost yes you're deleted I then need to try and cover up this sewage water because we we've proven that sewage camper out of that but that's not that's not the myth that's not the one I was meant to be testing right so there's no more sewage there helicopter there's no more no look I've I've filled it up oh no it's just come to the surface there's still oh they're still using it aha right now they're actually using the correct water source and although they're all they're all Landing now why are you all Landing hopefully it's not because there is a sewage problem here um I think it's just because we've put the fire out okay so let's start another forest fire yeah but this time bigger so we're gonna have one there I'm gonna have another one in the middle and one down that end as well so hopefully yes look yes they're all taking the water out of here so this is I think what we're gonna do we're gonna leave the camera looking at this 12 seconds later yeah I left it going for a few seconds and everyone everyone buggered off is that because I think it's because sewage is backing up oh God damn right is there a way to deal with sewage without oh yes this one this one so I think this one I can drain sewage without actually outputting it anywhere so that's all connected now so hopefully those symbols should go and yep there go the helicopters nice right so now back over oh my goodness look how many helicopters there are it's amazing so yeah we're just gonna let this run and we're gonna see will this Lake drop in terms of the water level I mean it sort of seems like they did although I think the fire's gone out can I just replant all these trees I may have to delete them all first so delete the trees plant the trees oh no blood it plotted them dead how did the game remember I tell you what let's buy some more land we'll purchase that we'll cover them all in trees plop some watchtowers about start a few forest fires right well I don't think it took long to confirm that helicopters do you actually use water up what a crazy detail that the dev added like there's no need to add that really especially because most like lakes and stuff in the game they have like a water spawner anyway so they can't actually reduce level like this and if you're wondering like Matt well what if what if it was just evaporation maybe it wasn't the helicopters well that's why I removed them from all the other water sources on the map so before we confirm this completely let's go find another one hang on hang on no this one's definitely gone down could the helicopters have snuck over here yes look you cheeky Robin bastard he robbed water from the map right where else can we go right how about way up in the hills let's have a look at this one okay so that has that much water okay okay what we're gonna do we're gonna reload this map but like and we're gonna see where the rocks are oh no they're sneaking over here anyway you no beds but yeah our original lake is completely dry now it's just question is was that evaporation or was it helicopters let's reload the map so we're back on the map oh man that was our original water source it was huge I feel like my tree one wasn't even that big does that prove straight away that there's evaporation well this is the one with the rocks and Matt you can't you can't even see the Rocks like I think there's one I'll tell you what I'm gonna try and put my mouth sort of where like the pointer of it is right on the water line like the highest points of it yeah then we'll leave it for 10 minutes so and I'll be back and we'll see if that water level has moved all right well I've left that for a good 10-15 minutes and if you look at my mouse nothing has changed uh so I think it's pretty confirmed that evaporation isn't a thing I mean I even saw like there's like a cheeky like little Buffalo thing that came along it was having a little a little Slurp in the old water that's not a buffalo that's a car cars don't drink water but yeah so evaporation is ruled out which means the myth of do fire helicopters use up water it's confirmed I think well it's next myth we are back in in the lovely engine Topia oh man I've I didn't realize how big this pokeable thing was that I made like when we zoom out it's literally like it's like the size of like the rest of endotopia if I combine it all but anyway what what is the myth that is in engine Topia well the myth is I real civil engineer cannot make a city that isn't all knobs yeah well I'll have you know there's plenty of things that aren't knobs like this is just a natural rock formation this is just unefficiently laid out industrial Zone efficient residential areas and another one with a stinky tip efficient Highway Junctions which I don't know why there's traffic on they that should actually be really efficient this one which I haven't got around to finishing yet because the sharp I mean the roads are taking ages they're a bit spaghetti okay you know what I'm starting I'm starting to see you guys points maybe maybe this is busted what about engine Lantus oh no no okay so can I make a city that isn't just knobs uh no no I can't mythbusted but there is another myth to bust a ninja Topia and it revolves around this look okay you know now if you have been watching my engine Topia series you'll know that everyone down there they all poo they can't help it that's just the way things are and when they do poo the Poo comes out of these little sewage Outlets here into this 2K you know now that's the island where the Architects live um and then we've got some hydroelectric dams and some cleaners in here so that all gets cleaned as it comes down and provides energy and then the water and let's suck it back up again so we've basically made infinite power here a feat of engineering however however we've got a myth that says turning the pukino into a poonami will destroy engine Topia so I guess there's only one thing to see hit pause or delete everything over there delete everything up there delete oh and then we're going to do something sacrilege absolutely sacrilege we're gonna go into the Landscaping tool we're gonna select the level terrain tool and then we're literally gonna cut away at this wall oh this is not good this is really really not good um as you can see the walls have now gone oh no I I I'm so sorry guys anyone that's living down here my kid's about to go on the Merry-Go-Round um don't look up because that is a lot of poo about to be coming down your way oh man I'm just walking along the streets if you look up that is so big I never actually realized how much poo there was in there you guys sure poo a lot right anyway let's get a good angle on this because we're only gonna do it once um okay let's press play and let's see if the pukino will destroy engine Topia you can see the top level is dropping oh and actually where where's the water going oh look they might be safe they might actually be safe oh no now now it's coming out now it's coming out the poo is coming out the hole oh dear that's quite a lot of food Wars I'm not sure it's going to create enough power to actually destroy building although that church probably disagrees with me it's completely buried kids kids oh God look at all the people oh look at oh oh no I think buildings are getting destroyed they're not being destroyed they're literally just evaporating whoa that is how much poo there is oh no there's some positive news I I feel like this is at least like half empty now or at least a third empty so I'm not sure if the entire area of engine Topia will be destroyed so that is as a hell of a lot of poo water coming this way look at all the debris I mean they're not it's not debris it's literally thousands of people being flung into the air and all their cars and stuff oh the buildings are just being deleted like they're just evaporating hey Elise it's cleaning up all this traffic I told you it was an efficient design that's done a lot more destruction than I was expecting I'll tell you what let's let's speed this up a bit and let's watch this in a bit of a time lapse just so you can see exactly what happens I mean in real time it's pretty stuttery I I feel like each wave of evaporation is uh is destroying my CPU and the week behind the poonami is just it's just completely Barren land like we've destroyed everything and weirdly if we zoom in people they've literally just been hit by a poonami and then they're building their buildings already you can see they're going up despite poo water still flowing through the city um I think that's because they got the infinite demand mod on let's disable that quickly right so the turtle wave has made it to the bridges I'm really really hoping the power of engineering will ensure all of these Bridges survive they're sort of like my like they're my little babies my bridges I might have hundreds of them but I save her and love every single one of them and then we have the industrial Zone which actually it's not being destroyed by the Poo water I think the Poo water has displaced the river water so the rivers popped out and is destroying all this industrial area and meanwhile the river has been replaced with poo interesting very interesting I feel like it makes this area a lot clearer what it was foreign will completely destroy angotopia is confirmed I mean that was really really painful to do actually I hope I didn't save this idea what I'm gonna also fall out the game just to make sure right and that's enough myths of us today if you've got any more leave them in the comments below I'll be sure to check them out in a future video but for now I'll say peace love and Pooh water bye
