The "windmill" is not the image that came to mind when looking at that.... certainly a strong shape, when not in a Russian winter.
-
10:19 - "This is called the Windmill Interchange, because it looks like a windmill." Me: "Riiiiiight.... A windmill........."
-
10:10 perfect autobahn for Germany in1936
-
14:14 fun fact: the magic roundabout in swindon is extremely safe because of how slow traffic moves.
-
All this game needs is an eraser tool, and a smoothing tool.
-
10:17 Yeah, I can see that one flying over Europe sometime during the 30's and early 40's
-
It seems that the formula for efficiency is 1000 * traffic flow * complexity factor / concreate used. The displayed values are probably rounded down. As for complexity factor, I think it represents the amount of traffic; here, there are 4 entry points that want to go to 3 exits with a weight of 3 (the thickness of the arrow), so 4*3*3=36.
-
10:00 I nearly spat out my drink
-
That complexity rating is for the complexity of the starting conditions, not the complexity of what you build. That's why it was always 36 here.
-
The biggest problem with the game is that it doesn't allow for multiple lanes of traffic on a single road. That diverging diamond would have been far more efficient if you could have designated different lanes for different destinations, instead of it all being single lane shared traffic.
-
Really cool to see, but I would've loved to see a "Gothic interchange" being tried. It's basically a double diverging diamond, with both highways switching sides. It might work really well here
-
I love it when you actually use your job in videos I find it extremely entertaining
-
10:20 This one must have been popular by the creators of the Autobahn.
-
10:17 yup definitely windmill. Looks nothing like a certain symbol
-
Really love the magic roundabout. Super efficient use of concrete for a moderate tradeoff in efficiency of traffic flow. Handles traffic so well though, especially when drawn with nigh perfect road placement.
-
I am a CS major and currently work full-time in IT. It's a absolute blast watching you play this game. Might buy a copy myself :)
-
The cool thing about this game is that I believe all of the interchanges you reference here are referenced somewhere further along in the game, with the required traffic flows on each junction referencing it.
-
10:16 Thank god that's called a windmill, I seriously looks like a swastika.
-
I'm not even an real engineer, I just like this kind of games, and you too
-
I've been watching some of your videos from yesterday but this made me respect you so much. Subscribed.
