When highway engineering goes too far...

hello fellow engineers and welcome back to emperor space i was just looking on this loading screen on the right we've got like community sort of posts i guess they're like from the steam forum or something and most of them are like suggestions or questions or stuff and then i got to the bottom one i was like commit tax fraud like there's no currency in the game there's no economy is that just yeah maybe don't come to this game for life advice but let's get into the game now i did see there was an update for this and it said they've made loading times a lot faster well how are you going to deal with my city mate 10 000 bits of lateness however many thousand bits of road actually i feel like that is a lot faster that's way faster those roads are just gone and then we're just in the game looking at this mess that i sort of made for a thumbnail last time look at this yeah so you remember in the actual gameplay last episode i started putting down some solar panels in between these wind turbines and the wiring was just crazy but turns out you could you can make it crazier so that's good to know the these solar panels they still work apparently very very impressive technology to work under all of those whites this video is sponsored by manscape.com now i am a dad to this lovable puppy paddy and with father's day fast approaching now is the perfect time to give the gift of groobing

the game anyway anyway this is my colony if you've not seen this before it's an incredible city builder colony game set on some barren planet and first off we have spaceports here you can see people flying in they're attracted by all the advertising and quotes and as people land they leave their spacecraft via their bright pink g wagon g wagon g wagon g wagon g-wagon by the way those of you that follow my patreon you know i did the timber borners beavers t-shirt well the next patreon exclusive design is gonna be a g-wagon shirt yep it's actually happy oh dear anyway they arrive at the city under here look at the infrastructure man the train lines on the roads it's beautiful and they live in these residential areas now these upgrade depending on the resources they're getting so if we were to come down here and we just place a very early basic habitat like we'll shove that there that's just a basic habitat you can see there's no oxygen people are panicking no one's moving in they just need oxygen and survival food and that holds eight people in there if we stay watching you'll see this guy's he's just delivered some survival food so that's gone up and now oxygen is arriving in the big old tanker which they go in but they never come out again anyway now these are satisfied you can see the habitat is upgrading and these upgrade to different tiers and every tier needs different resources but you always need to keep the early resources coming in so i think all of our habitats are at least level five which needs all of these different resources and the only thing these are lacking at the moment as you can see at the bottom are schools yes school is one of the last things people need they need home appliances they need parks and home robots they need all of those before they get education but once they do we get a luxury residential high-rise the habitat tier six and they are absolutely insane and so this is upgraded now this is now level two you can see it's got a little two on the top yeah that can hold ten people so that tiny building ten inhabitants are in there guess how many are in this one oh yes it's 8 18. so from that to that only eight more people fit in there oh game anyway you might be wondering where do all these resources come from matt well everywhere throughout the land are things like this resources and we need to mine them using huge mining equipment massive drills that get us raw resources and then they're taking on trucks to all sorts of processing and manufacturing before the good stuff is sent on long long motorways back to our city through an incredible feat of engineering that involves a train line going crazy before being delivered to our residents of course as you can imagine this all takes power so that's what we've been doing over here but you remember at the end of last episode up here behind our architect suck sign we've been making a very very efficient area with our first ever iridium mines so these mine iridium we've also got uranium over here ready to be mined as well and remember last time we built some of these the hollow display factories we are now creating hollow displays i couldn't work out what they're for i literally went through every single building and uh basically the comment section told me and the dev actually confirmed to me are they sort of messed up they're meant to be used for the vr edutainment as you can imagine a hollow display will go in your vr headset but are they ballsed up and they didn't want to ruin everyone's game so these just don't do anything i'll probably leave them in just in case we need them in the future but uh for now we gotta we gotta carry on building because we want to build one of these a radiation core factory and that turns the iridium alloy which is the iridium but taken through one of these machines you can see they look like little rods combined with those leaves they're not actually leaves that is uranium and that will give us an explosion apparently and we need those to make the red science which is going to be needed for our research so in our huge research tree you'll see oh my god we haven't done fertilizer yet that's really far back anyway we're about here we we're researching things with blue green yellow science but at some point soon we're gonna need the red science that's sort of the super super late game stuff but for now we're working on the industrial robots because that will cut down the number of workers we need which hopefully means without expanding our population we'll make more resources so we should be able to grow without having to worry about expanding all of this although i do think this area of sand here would be nice to put more residential areas in and oh look we've got a crystal maze already this is a tier 4 3 a tier 3 and they just need to park unfortunately for him parks they get delivered but only within a set radius so in the middle of there that is a park and look he's just outside of it how unfortunate oh no there's one there as well oh imagine that like your neighbor he's just in range you missed out and you have to forever live in his shadow oh yeah i was thinking like my sort of my main plan for today we've got like a load of big motorways look at that mess man that is ridiculous we have a load of big motorways going on we're gonna probably need resources coming from this area so i was thinking where are motorways sort of merge i'm gonna do like a massive four-way interchange i think yeah to start with we will prepare up here so we're gonna need a little bit of a road coming along here because on here we're shoving a few uranium mines and then north of this junction although actually we probably won't want to go to the other side as well so let's just quickly do a looping over road like that nice so north of these we're gonna want some radiation core factories so perhaps we'll just do two on each side for now and then hopefully we'll see yep can you see these trucks they are full of uranium and they should head to each of those and you'll see they're also after the iridium rod things so hopefully if we look down this way yep you'll see they're all coming up now so they're going into those buildings nice we're going to be radiating some cores today all right so next up since the number of jobs is equal to the population i am probably going to upgrade some of these we want the bigger we want the tier sixes so in order to do that we need to plonk one of these in there a school now if we look at the school you can see it's got an area effect and i can't really cover that with just one so we're gonna need two which means crystal maze guy you're actually gonna get well hopefully that will count as in range down there i'm not entirely sure but let's delete those two houses so sorry the people that live there but a school has gone in well i might do i might hit pause to do all this and then we'll watch them all grow at once because it's gonna be it's gonna be beautiful and next up we can nearly fit one there's like a gap in there if i just delete one of those buildings like that one we can fit that in that direction hopefully we don't need a road to the front oh it does need a road why does it need a road to that side that's really annoying all right let's see if we were to like push this right to the edge i'm pretty sure we can get a road in there oh wow the game really didn't like that the game really didn't like that but it's in it is in nice okay next up we gotta do over here i could fit one there but there's no road and there's no way to get a road to it and annoyingly someone built this grid not not very straight so i don't think if i were to move this building oh it does fit ah ignore me it does fit so it will plonk that there i may as well build some new houses while i'm here as well then but if i shove one there then i can grab this and move it like okay that one doesn't fit at all fine game prove me wrong i don't care anyway they're sorted down there let's get back to the school edge because for too long these guys have been architects we need to give them education so they turn into engineers i think i need to try and fit one like there so what i'm gonna have to do i gotta move this highway ah there we go right now i'll just do a few more schools to cover these red bits then we should be ready to press play and watch them all upgrade i think this will probably be the best angle ready there they go oh there's so many it's hurting my frame rate they're upgrading so quick oh look we leveled up our city is now level six hurray oh that was pretty that was a pretty cool time lapse at so yeah now you can see our housing is four eight five four jobs are only four six so as long as we're attracting more population which we should be because we're now a max level city we're a planetary capital it basically means we can build loads of new buildings and stuff without the jobs going mental but more importantly it means we are attracting more workers with the g wagons ge wagons g wagons g wagons g wagons sticky wagons g-rackets there's so many yeah it's a bit weird that they come out the gooch like that isn't it anyway right back up here we're gonna need we're gonna need a big old motorway so if we go to the here for three lane super highway this costs a lot of concrete a lot of steel but if you look at the bottom left we got forty four thousand and eighteen and a half thousand so we should be able to build this fairly easily but essentially i want to build from like over here somewhere in this direction however look the road is too steep it even tells us it's too steep so we're gonna need to do a bit of a a bit over that sort of thing it's not it's not the uh it's not the greatest road you've ever seen it might need a bit of tweaking it looks like a four-year-old designed it from honest um and annoyingly that was like half of our concrete we'd also need to do the road going in the reverse direction as well and that's even before we actually do the junctiony bit anyway is this my planet do i do driving on the left side or driving on the right side i mean have i actually done any two-way roads anyway i don't think i have although these roads they do actually drive on the right-hand side yeah i better do that then otherwise it will just be carnage so we're going to go on this side and we're going to head back in the other direction now this is going to be the test is there room to get up this hill next to it yes there is we're up the sort of ironic thing is no one's ever going to want to go up there it's literally just a production area but shut up that's not the point well actually actually i mean perhaps i could just like loot this round we could do like that sort of thing that looks safe for like a 70 mile an hour motorway right and we got the same at that end so all these things can connect on just a slip roads like that right nice then we have like a big old looped motorway and then we just need to do one going the opposite direction so is there anything over here we want to take that way i mean i feel like we should probably connect this onto like everything so if we connect that up there we probably want to come off down there as well that looks pretty good oh look we've just unlocked the industrial robot factory that means we can supply our factories with industrial robots to cut down the amount of workers so we'll leave this for a second and we'll just see what these are so industrial robot factories we need electronics motors cubes and snails i think we've got all of that sort of over this way so there's the motors you see this guy's defending them he looks very stern there's the electronics there's the cubes the neural processors and i think is the blobs just aluminium yeah the snail is just aluminum so basically i think we can shove these like probably just along here now i'm not really sure how these work whether once they're built do they just go to whatever factory is downstream i don't i don't really know you can see everything is being delivered we're a bit low on the normal process there's only two being delivered there's 30 of everything else but we can click this button here to see where they end up they literally can end up anywhere so all the green basically so i guess if we want to save this road from getting too busy and do like a little one-way street along here right next to the mines hopefully they're not mining into this then into that road because then they can get anywhere i do i need to fix whatever's going on with that there we go much better right nice we'll leave that for a little bit and see if it does anything but we don't actually need to worry about that too much because if we look down here you can see our population 4876 our jobs 4 600. so we've actually got 200 people that don't have jobs and also something very special about happen the amount of steel one two three four oh it's gone anyway for our motorways what i was thinking of doing is taking some of these roads maybe going left now i'm a little bit worried we're gonna run out of concrete so what if i do a slow yeah i might do just the highway to start with and then we'll upgrade it if we can but basically same thing we're gonna do like a little roundabouty thing here and this is gonna head along here all right there we go now we can delete this road in between because basically what we're gonna do we're gonna bypass it so this comes over to there and then over this end we come off here and up onto that so everything in between we can delete after all these cars are just driving to their doom and sadly everyone started using the train again now so to be honest i think it's only fair that i do actually put a shortcut in because at the moment they've got to go that way they've got to go all the way around there it's too far so what i want to do i do actually want to come under here and back up there so they have a short route now although they still don't want to use it fair enough fair enough i'll tell you what to make them use it we might have to upgrade this road we've got 8 000 concrete we should be able to afford it so if we just replace all of the oh god it costs a lot of concrete but this will mean this route is hopefully as quick as it was previously before i messed about up to that point yes and that's all it took now they're using this route again nice okay perfect so next up i'm going to spend a few minutes just connecting like every road to these two motorways basically i do want people to use these because they're like oh they're my super highways right so anyway we've got these roads we've got some traffic on them finally but what we'd like to do is connect them together now this is where i'm excited because we get to do some 3d highway design now we're going to be trying to build one of my favorite designs the turbine interchange so we just need these super highway single road slip ways and first off we're going to do like the diamond stuff right so we've got the diamond bits in now we get to do the curvy stuff though to be honest i do want these to be curved anyway okay and what we basically do we come off in the middle so we're gonna go from there slip road and try and keep a very smooth curve over to there now obviously i couldn't do the vertical at the same time so we're gonna have to just come back and move these nodes so there's sort of one let's try and do the next one maybe this one will start on the opposite side so we're going from there under here nice okay that's looking pretty good next up we just gotta do the same from the other roads we're gonna do a bit of that from this one we want to go from the middle node again come under all of these into there then we can click on these nodes we can we can check that and that allows us to sort of straighten these up a bit yeah that's a much smoother curve there we go i think we've got a turbine interchange so if we just upgrade this motorway we've got the steel and concrete to do that now that's pretty good that's pretty good in my opinion and basically allows everyone to get to wherever they need to so if you're coming down this motorway and you want to go right you can literally just turn right and then you're on to that motorway if you want to go to the left you just turn off this slip road here you go around here oh god we got we got a bit of a dip there i perhaps move this back to fix that yeah that's better that's a bit smoother yeah that is a turbine interchange and it only costs like a billion concrete and there's like no traffic on it i mean there's no traffic on it because it's so efficient or something like that yeah i haven't actually connected anything down here to it so i'd probably do that first before i complain that no one's using it right so that's got a little bit of traffic on now it's all connected up it was definitely worth doing right right anyway in the meantime we've just unlocked the recycling center so if we head into here they literally cost nothing okay what do they do they work in an area do they need to be connected to a road yes they do i can see they've got an area and these have red so if i do that oh now they're blue so oh look upgrades the the industrial robots that's what we built earlier then industrial waste recycling which we just built some of this building's industrial waste is recycled every six rounds it gets all used resources back oh that's quite good so i've really got to make sure that these yellow sciences use them then so they're all covered that's good what else can we oh man literally everything is red i'll tell you what normal processors would be a good one if i downgrade this road because this road is too fast you can see how fast people are flying they're going around the hover truck nato like anything you can't even see them so if i downgrade this road to a slower one like that then suddenly we can build on it so i can shove one of those there and another one up that end and that covers a lot of those and if it's one in six we've essentially just made this like 15 percent more efficient or something so yeah we will take that we will take that indeed i think basically i just want to make sure all of these buildings because these are like the really slow ones they take a lot of resources if i make sure they're all covered then we are efficient i mean we could do the same for food as well so we could do those ones and those and then our food production cow is super super efficient now all right nice this is all going rather well i'm as much as i like this i i just feel like it just doesn't look as efficient as my previous designs like this really was the feat of engineering as was this masterpiece i just feel like trying to copy earth on this planet it's just it's just not the same see what screw this i'm making changes right and there we go not only is the junction done it's very efficient now but look we've unlocked high speed rail so we're going to be doing that next time before we go before we go i want this to be covered in g wagons so we pause the game we delete this road and then back here in this gap we fill it with more residential buildings which means our junction is now covered in g wagons g wagons g wagons and on that note peace love and g-wagons guys catch you guys next time bye [Music]
