Using REAL DESIGN PRINCIPLES to make more REALISTIC JUNCTIONS in Cities Skylines! Engitopia Part 2!

all right hello fellow engineers we're

back in n zootopia

and uh we finished last time with a i

think we needed like a school

yeah because i think our workers aren't

educated enough

so what i'm gonna do we're gonna

somewhere in this residential area

we're gonna bung some schools in so we

got elementary school

then a high school and a library all

right it's gonna start with a

elementary school oh it's not a very big

catchment is it all right so i've put

that in there

looks like one was fine for our capacity

we're gonna need a high school but ain't

got enough money

how much do i need so we only 24 grand

i've got 18 at the moment

but we're making two grand every week so

should be able to afford that soon all

right in the meantime i've noticed

people want a bit of shopping i guess

so i think we'll just extend and we'll

color these in

we'll just go all the way around i think

and maybe on the corners

i think we can make these shops as well

see i was thinking as well we should

probably

say obviously everyone's coming into our

city from the motorway

and that's fine but then there's a

one-way loop all the way around

i should think and just to save some of

these roads getting too clogged up

say someone makes a mistake i might just

link these two

just so that there's a way back in so if

anyone wants to try and use these first

few shots they actually have to go

all the way around all the way around

the motor you can't even turn around on

that motorway

how would they do it so they'd drive out

here

probably go over

yeah so that would be long gone before

they can turn around that's what i might

do

oh actually i've just noticed this we

can afford a high school

so let's go put that in alright so we

got high school in there

sorted now we should get some education

and we should be able to fill up those

jobs right

back to sorting this out so we haven't

really unlocked

any other roads oh actually what's that

right so i was thinking this is a

two-lane single so what we'll do then

we'll have a sort of

or maybe we can have an off slip just a

little one-way i can't do just a little

one-way track can i

alright so there you go so now as people

come down here they have the opportunity

should they wish to go up here

and then left turn out of there and then

they can if they want

use these shops so that's good we'll

just save people going

all the way for miles and miles trying

to turn around

there's a lot of traffic coming in here

right now actually

oh bloody hell did you see that

that's a bit of carnage i'm wondering i

might just

i'm not a fan of crossroads they are

dangerous things so i might just delete

that

and just connect it up there right so

last time we had these two buildings

that we noticed

we burnt down we can't just leave them

according to this little notice

we've got to use our bulldozer

and clear them up so that

should make space now of course very

industrial over here in it

here's a fire engine where's he going

oh it's on fire

go on guys put it out oh he just went

straight in

good work nice all right

just having a look at the old

electricity we might have to

build another another turbine just

because we're a bit low there

and how's water water's fine still just

bung another turbine

in there i might as well do another one

while i'm here just to save me doing it

later

all right so that should be plenty oh my

god look at that sewage

that is gross look how brown it is

imagine all the poo along that beach

all right so we might have to try and

fix that somehow

at some point all right so we don't have

any health care at the moment so i'm

gonna build a hospital

just in here so there you go now all the

ambulances are going

blimey we must oh my god they must be in

demand

look at them never ending

all right so that should make our

citizens a bit healthier and a bit

happier

right so we've nearly filled this up in

terms of

living space so i'm gonna do i'm gonna

expand i'm gonna

i think i might fill in this area for

now

and then what i might do i might sort of

i might start

working down this way just to sort of so

i can get rid of these pylons eventually

so i might put a junction

sort of down here see

so i bought this road i could sort of

kind of made it a bit more natural

looking a bit windier

i bought the road all the way to these

wind turbines

and what i'm gonna do is once people

start building their houses

i will delete these pylons which would

be nice

and i think i might just connect up this

so obviously when we sight junctions in

real life

one of the most important things is uh

like the visibility

for example put in a junction like say

there on the inside of a bend

is like horrible because say you want to

pull out the junction you like

you look left you look right and if

you're on the inside of a bend you can't

really see

ideally you want to be like on a

straight or maybe

that's quite a good spot so you can see

where i've located this now we're sort

of

on the outside of a bend basically if

you're driving out of here

it gets the giveaway line and you look

right

and obviously on the outside of the bend

you can see really far and then

to our left obviously not the greatest

visibility there

[Music]

that guy didn't look anyway you just

drove straight out to design these in

real life

the whole visibility thing you sort of

depending on the speed of the road

to say this is like a 30 mile an hour

road so you'd have a design table

and for each speed you'd have like a

distance

based that distance is how far that

person can see

without their visibility being impacted

so say we're going from this junction

and say it's a 30 mile an hour road

i'm just completely making up these

numbers but say it's like 80 meters

is your visibility split that's what you

do you'd have a distance setback

sort of in the middle so it's kind of

where the driver sits when they're

stuck waiting there and you draw your 80

meters

and you'd have to intercept like where a

car would be in the road so for us it

would be there

straight line and obviously you can see

there's nothing in the way maybe a bit

of grass there so all you do you'd

highlight

no planting to happen there like no no

bushes or

buildings or anything say we're looking

this way say it was a bit further say

this was a fast road it was 60 mile an

hour

so a visibility display would go from

here

and it might be say 60 meters could be

all the way over here

so everything above my line that i'm

drawing

it's all this area you'd have to get rid

of all the planting like you wouldn't be

allowed trees in there you wouldn't be

allowed bushes

anything like that because it could

block the visibility to someone that's

stuck here and they look left

if there's suddenly a big old tree there

they're not gonna be able to see so when

you place junctions

realistically that's what you want to

look for you want to try and put them

somewhere where

they they can see both directions

because that's how we do it in real

life all right and with that in mind i

am going to bung

another junction in from there

all right so with this area i'm just

gonna i'm gonna keep this as like the

main entrance in

this road kent street currently i'm

gonna add a few more

sort of like cody sacks i guess

so we'll just do that sort of thing

every now and again all right so

housing is really really in demand at

the moment so i'm just gonna

start painting all these up now i'm sure

i am sure there is a way to paint all

these

or something i probably was told about

it in the last episode as well

but unfortunately i'm recording this

before that video went live

so if you have told me sorry i will

learn how to do this at some point i'm

not ignoring you it's just because i

record well in advance of my videos

going live

alright so before too many people buy

that i'm just gonna hit pause

because i need to do the water for down

here so we're gonna do as we did before

keep it realistic so we'll go

under the road i wish there wasn't a

snap i wish i could do a bit of a

better angle

[Music]

all right so i am wondering should i be

digging up this pipe this is our main

pipe but it's sort of the main route

so i don't really want to touch it right

so i think that's done for now we'll

just hit

play and that should all connect up

nicely

there you go things are moving now sweet

okay

electricity they have so i still need

the pylons

i could get rid of

oh no i've just sabotaged [ __ ] [ __ ]

i still need those pylons

i can get rid of those up to there

and once i build this road it should be

sorted

all right and again before people build

too much i'm gonna get one step ahead

and that i'm gonna get the schools in so

i think an

elementary school might be quite nice

sort of in the middle

maybe there

and then our high school maybe a bit

further away maybe sort of on this

main stretch all right and then while

i'm down here and we'll just add a few

shops just sort of like to tie it into

this

industrial this is predominantly

residential area

i kind of want this to be like my up

market

where the posh people live although it

is right by the old wind turbines

which isn't great but they wouldn't get

a sea view anyway because there's

mountains there so

not the end of the world right so you

can see now the cars are flooding in

they're excited to see the new areas and

i'm guessing they're all the residents

moving in

so that's cool i am wondering too is

there a way

of sort of adding footpaths not that i

can see there seems to be roads but no

footpaths so maybe we'll come to that oh

so we got

parks so i hadn't seen these so

well they all seem to do different stuff

so i might put a park there

that would be right behind maybe down

there

yeah it's going to put a park there sort

of that's more for sort of these people

what i'll do i might build around that

as well

got some houses back onto the park

that's quite nice

all right so this orb area i'm gonna

paint it as a district

and as it was my first sort of area

i'm gonna name it after my first

engineer

tiered patreon all right it's just going

to be taiyo heights

right oh we're a boom town

oh this is cool now we've got we can

purchase new areas oh we got some big

roads

this is awesome i'm getting excited now

got

bust stuff child care oh i got some

recycling

okay this is cool this is really cool oh

so just been told we need more power

so oh yeah we're a bit low let's just

check our budget is there anything we

can do

for the power power's sort of in the

middle

i think we will just build some more

turbines

um we do have these new ones now oh

these can go in water

but they cost twice as much

they do produce a lot more though so

tell you what i might just do that

all right so we got plenty of

electricity now the water's a bit

low so what i'm gonna do i'm gonna up

the budget because that was low

it's going to go straight back up to 100

ish

and what i could do eventually i could

actually get rid of these wind turbines

just to make it a lot nicer for these

people

because that's got to be annoying

imagine the shadow of that just cast

over your house

every few seconds of these shade

coming through your window

so what i might do i might get rid of

these turbines and swap them with these

because then we got a nice little wall

that should bund like the sound and

stuff

and the visuals so that'll be nice and

let's have a look at the

electricity okay so i can get rid of

oh no not those pylons sorry everyone

yep electricity is coming back on now

tell your heights sorry about that

all right so these people need some

water so i'm gonna take this

down this road all right so that should

be sorted i do really need to build

between these just to sort of

get the electricity flowing so i might

just do a road normal road

and i will as well i will add a little

bit of a

bit of a coldy sack in there at some

point all right so let's see about

getting a park for this area

so the parks are in there is a little

small one

small park oh bloody house quite big

maybe we can add that here

and then build around it yeah i think

i'll add that there

sweet so that covers most of those

people and then what i can do

i can build around that park with our

cody sac we can keep going

oh you guys have no water all right

sorted so

we do need some more

industry so i'm gonna keep the industry

going up here

so just building this away from everyone

else let's build from there

and we'll sort of head back this way

all right so let's just paint these in

for now

and i will add some stuff in the middle

there at some point

i just figured whilst we're a bit low

we'll wing these up

actually i'll do that now i'll build

a little t junction there

there you go and we just filled that in

all right so again we need

water up here so

go up that road got that raid

and go along there as well all right so

that should just be building away nicely

how's this area looking it looks a bit

barren

are there is still lots of plots for

people to buy

all right so i'm sort of saving these

areas they're quite big but i want to

make them a bit more

office-y i know at some point we unlock

yeah commercial zones

and office zones so i'm probably going

to save that just because i want the

officers to be

fairly close to where people live

otherwise i'll be traveling for ages

all right so it might be time to build a

library

because we haven't got one yet oh my god

this is huge hmm where would be the best

spot for this

i'm gonna bung the library here because

then it's sort of in the middle of the

two

22 grand though damn all right so i

think that covered quite a lot of people

it's a bit close to the old commercial

oh god

that laurie's doing the old quick

turnaround again

they turn on a spot lady oh big bite

i will be heading there after this

because i'm starving

oh there's an advert for big bite oh

that's quite a good burger that

is that a triple or just a double it's

crunch time

i do not want my burgers to be crunchy

that's a bit weird

what's going on here someone died from

noise

i think he died from noise i don't know

if you saw those headphone

things oh look what's going on up here

they need workers

why are there not enough workers do you

think they can't get there

i am going to look at installing buses

next time i think

because people seem to be struggling to

get to work i don't know if they're just

lazy oh no cemetery needed oh better do

that

i didn't even realize i had those yet

right so dead people

where are they gonna go i honestly think

maybe they should go in there to dead

people are sorted

children you can put that next to the

library

don't see why not all right so we got

childcare now so hopefully that might

help people get to work as well

maybe their kids sort of we're stopping

them

going back to work don't know clutching

at straws but

people we need people to work and

there's no one working

so we have to fix that somehow oh my god

everyone's dying from

are they dying from noise pollution is

it really that loud okay so i might have

to reconsider this area

yes this is meant to be my sort of posh

area

that doesn't seem to be the case

because everyone's just dying oh my god

look at that poo

that is disgusting there's something

under the water there

can you see that that thing is that a

boat

that's a boat that sunk it looks like a

big old boat

that's cool i didn't realize that was

that oh my god how far does this poo

spread

oh my god it goes well down there

okay we might need to try and find a way

to fix that

because that is gross i've brought shame

on this city

but yes i hope you enjoy the episode

guys we have our newly named

taiyo heights which is my starter sort

of

residential place i quite like it it's a

bit it's a bit straight i guess

hence why our new one we've gone a bit

curvy

so hopefully next time we'll be naming

this area i'll be picking one of the

patreon names

for that but yeah thanks guys really

enjoying this episode and again let me

know below if you have any suggestions

i think as well i should probably sort

of try out some mods

and see what they can do i think that's

for another day but yeah

oh look at our park yeah nice one guys

peace love and bridges i'll catch you

next time

[Music]

bye
