[Blind 3.5K Trips] Wellington First Attempt! - Mini Motorways 

I have to say, you have incredible vision and preplanning intuition for this game. This is a brutally hard map, and for a blind playthrough 3.5k trips is phenomenal. It's great to see and hear your thought process as you progress through each game week. Now that you know there's only a single red spawn and know about the huge green population on the right side, I'm certain you can get that 6k you're after!

Real Civil Engineer calls it day old ham and fresh ham. He also confuses which one is which sometimes.

Retroflux, a few things. 1) Love the references. Both the clone wars "just like the simulations" and the real civil engineer lol. 2) I love your MM content. Keep it up! I checked each day for the last two days since you made that status where you said you would post a vid. Even if it's not blind or groundbreaking, love the MM content. Especially the deep dives.

41:34 - *moving red highway* : "yes! I'm a genius!" Me instantly : "hey genius, you left the other side disconnected lol" At least that was not what made you lose.

Man I want some stop scaring the locals merch 😂

i have noticed much different game play since the update. a lot of fun to adjust to the new mechanics

I think a traffic light outside that green business on the white/tan line might have helped out a lot. The slowdown at that spot is what kept the cars from moving smoothly there. The only other thing I could spot that might have helped earlier on would have been taking the tan population at the bottom center around to the right of the green business with the bridge, then connecting the four green houses to the left of the tan houses directly to the green business. It would have been a much shorter trip for them, and the four probably could have sustained the circular business for a bit. That final motorway you picked up could possibly have saved the white population as well, but I think the greens screwed it with that traffic jam.

Yes ! I've been waiting a long time for this one to come out, thanks Retro, nice vid !

My favorite MM content creator. I enjoy them so much and they help me a lot in finding efficiencies in my games as well. Keep it up. I was so excited to see this new map added.

Wellington absolutely destroyed me haha

Tip: When placing roads to block spawning(or just pre-emptive placing), place them in 2-piece segments, instead of one road, dragging it all the way.. same performance, 50% less roads

I have been waiting for this!!

43:43 the traffic jam starts when the cream car just randomly turns towards the dark blue house lol. So weird.

Oh yay NZ is in this game now. Aotearoa represent!

Glad to see you're back! You had me worried a little. I hope you're doing well.

Red is what killed me on my play through on this map. I haven't been brave enough to attempt it again yet.

I stopped playing after the major traffic change patches because I started dying like this every game. Almost never lost to uncontrollable flow, but instead to "i deleted a traffic circle and now all the cars there just stopped randomly and won't drive, or are trying to drive into the wrong colored house etc". Super frustrating. Having had it happen to me so many times though, I've figured out unreliable ways to unstick it. Basically on top of and around the stuck traffic, just create intersections on pause, unpause briefly, delete them, unpause briefly again, rinse and repeat until cars are driving over each other and unsticking the spot. Kind of like what you managed to do right at the end, but force it to happen earlier before unrecoverable

Good job. I was looking forward to this video. Only got 1k trips on my first attempt.

Thinking, try mixing up to two or three colours maybe, saves road tiles, but add more traffic lights

Was there a reverse change to do with the drives? Seem really paranoid again about them impacting things Also definitely prefer it just called Cream/Tan/Peach (Also also, nice to see all unconnected houses flash now, not just new ones, potentially easier to see disconnects like that red in the future?)

just finished my first wellington run earlier today, got 2.7K personally, compared to my manila 3.7K first attempt on a sidenote i dont understand why my friend says that i am a god gamer i will say, without your vids i doubt i would've learned this game extremely fast and reached such score, thanks so much for your insight

42:51 were the reds supposed to be connected?

Wonderful video!

Me: can't get over 1.7K on Wellington Retroflux: first attempt immediately gets 3.5K The strats are real with this one

Heyo - this is great level. I’m on the leaderboard shown at the beginning.

Damm kiwis making this game. Thanks for vid o/

The Navy houses spawn are killing the game 🤣

OMG RETROFLUX! I GOT 4467 ON ATTEMPT 2!! I did it with 5 motorways and got 333rd place on Oct 30

Could you have replaced motorway #3 with a tunnel at ~ 38:00 ?

You were ROBBED!!

God I am hating this map lol I mean, I love having a new map, but I've come to resent the "motorways can't go over mountains" text so much lol GIVE ME TUNNELS THEN YOU- I actually was given a mulligan because of that bug. I was on the weekly challenge in Dubai and my cars decided they didn't want to go on the motorway anymore when I was at 670 trips. But for some reason, that didn't count as a score submission, so I tried again and got to 2400 trips without the bug, and that score counted. I don't know what happened.

I do enjoy beef Wellington

Do you have a patreon?

motorway = bridge but bridge ≠ motorway!! always pick motorway

How are you doing 3.5K ._._._. I never get past 2.6K

It's wife doesn't know. Don't tell anyone lol

The devs live where i live :)
