If you notice at 18:53 the blue /orange intersection interferes with itself. I've done the game on my iphone and the collision detection is weird, I've had numerous issues with similar incidents that look fine until you sim them (and with a tiny screen drawing is that much tougher, you are slaughtering my scores! :) )
Yeah, it looks like as soon as the blue car's front bumper hits the bridge, the entire car pops up to the higher level. So the orange sees more of an intersection than an overpass.
Glad to see a bit of Detroit making it's way into the video. The picture at 11:35 is the I-696, I-96, I-275, and M-5 interchange on the outskirts of the Detroit Michigan metro area. Detroiters will often call it the Mixing Bowl. Looks messy but it flows really well.
At this point in Freeways, going in random order is just fine. I do, however, recommend clicking that yellow box on the one level you haven't done yet once you get a lot of the levels done to get an up-close view of your work. Right now you've got the satellite level views, that will get you the helicopter view.
I think you've become one of my favorite youtubers. I usually don't watch people play games but you make it fun and entertaining AND you've introduced me to some really fun games. I also have you to thank for my Babba is You, Highways and Super Auto Pets addiction.
May I suggest building bridges further away from other bridges (especially in the last intersection) because for some reason it would cause some traffic to suddenly stop. I had learned this the hard way myself.
On Steam, I saw one person uploaded every one of his levels to have a simple roundabout. His score wasn't great (RCE's on pace to get the 25,000 achievement ahead of the unlock all the photos achievement), but it was glorious to see the whole map as just roundabouts.
RCE, ~12:00 I live a few miles from there! The Detroit photo, that's I-96 on the left, I-696 coming from the top right, M-5 going north, From the south I-275, and south east is M-5 east. This is Farmington Hills, MI and Novi, MI. The boulevard near the top is 12 mile. If you want to see something terrible and get on google maps street view and tell me you opinion of Orchard Lake Rd meets 14 mile meets Northwestern Highway.
You inspired me to start playing infraspace, and now my world is not only awesome but it’s also really big. I’d love to show you but I know you are successful and busy.
I’ve been playing the game myself and you have to leave enough space between the bridges because as soon as any part of a car is on a bridge the whole car behaves as if it’s on the bridge, so it blocks other cars at the same height like in the last level. So you have to leave at least one car length between the start of a bridge and a perpendicular crossing bridge
I’ve been on the spaghetti junction , I thought we were just driving in circles over the same part until I realised what it was when I saw it after we came off it
You always say never put a merge before a diverge... that's actually quite common here that you merge on and the merging lane becomes an exit in a couple hundred feet. it's really nice tbh cause if the highway is clogged when you get on you can just exit back off again and take the back roads instead of being stuck in traffic for a couple miles. I think if you were to look at the highway system in DFW Texas it would blow your mind
They so need to invert the colours on the bridge buttons. Like why would the light grey button make the road go darker? And the fact you constantly mess it up is a testament to that lol
As a kid (in the midwest) my city center had the only roundabout in the area. Navigating it correctly was required to get your drivers license. They then decided it was to complicated for new drivers and dropped it from the test and driver training. Now they are replacing our intersections with roundabouts for efficiency. Since people don't know how to use them they added stop signs!
I've seen people fly through those interchanges at above highway speeds. It's insane just how fast you can go on those without posing an under/oversteer risk
17:26 With that rule, you are talking about an interchange like I-170/I-270 in st.louis, But I-70/I-170 in st.louis (right below the other) does not follow that rule.
19:40 - You get much better results doing a "Star of David" double overlapping triangle-about. I got 679. Go from Green beer mugs to 88 West, 88 West to Cow Road, and Cow Road to Green beer mugs. Then go from Blue beer mugs to Coast Highway pink, from Coast Highway pink to Coast Highway blue, and from Coast Highway blue to Blue beer mugs all using whatever bridges you need to cross the first triangle. Make both of those roundabouts doing U-turns for through traffic. Then put together your connections between the two at each cross.
17:28 Funny you say that, I live in Washington and go to a lot of shows in Seattle, and there’s actually a really popular exit from I-5 that exits off to the left and then goes into the city
Ur my current favorite RU-vid. The way u add "ness" to some words. It reminds me of how my siblings and I talk. Ur so relatable and just silly and goofy
I was never invested in watching other people play video games on youtube untill I came across your channel. I wish you uploaded twice a day, I love watching you play. I enjoy every single video you publish. You and Niko Omilana are my favorite RU-vidrs. I am not the type of person who likes videos, but I make sure I like your videos even before watching.
I died on the HILF part LMAO I was imagining how you'd go about f'ing a highaway... but I guess you've been doing that this whole playthrough, right? 🧐
Every time I watch these I end up opening the game myself and comparing our scores (and often improving mine) in the levels you play. Easier to follow along if you keep doing them in order.
The interchange near detroit is what I take to work every day....its a nightmare to find your way because M5 goes all 4 cardinal directions and changes names halfway through!
Literally just got home from work in Birmingham and was like... 'wait..I know that road!' XD The first photo is my usual junction home! (A wierd one as well, 4 lanes, two to the right/down, one to the left and mine that goes slightly left but curves round right/up. Which I definitely have never gotten on the wrong lane... Not at all! XD)
16:47 the traffic pattern goes in 2 triangles, one clockwise and the other counter-clockwise, kinda shaped like the star of david, i got a score of a whole 745 on level 68 with my map consisting of 2 separate triangle roundabouts going opposite directions connected to each other
That last one looks similar to the one I drive on everyday. I was literally thinking to draw it like that pic too. Only difference is the one I drive on has a 4 way not 3 way intersection. 2 highways with a huge mall and a big shopping center so Christmas time it’s hell
I got 883 on the 16:45 [No. 68]. I did alternate direction mini roundabouts at the start of every road with the direct routes [using ltttle bridges] going off roundabouts and either over/under the main connecting the big arrows roads. The 88 west had a clockwise oval-a-bout, the red coast hwy a counterclockwise slightly larger rounderabout, Cow Rd had a clockwise mini, blue houses a counterclockwise, the green house a larger clockwise roundabout and finally the blue coast hwy a mini counterclockwise roundabout.
one of my favorite things to do is lay in my bed very drunk and watch you mane these complicated freeways. i don’t understand why i like it but it’s my new favorite thing. sub’d and liked 👍
17:26 I assume that is when traffic is on the right side, like in this example. If traffic is on the left, away would be left. Which is quite honestly probably what ye are used to.
So, a real highway engineering related question: You say that it's better to not have a merge before a diverge, but here at my local motorway, there are examples of the dreaded merge before diverge. From what I have measured with google earth, the average distance between the merges and diverges is about 1km. So the question is: Is that a good average distance?
I would also ask about never having Left exits (or right in the UK?). There are tons in the US. Is that a truism in the UK or just a general good plan (not making the slow drivers cross the faster lanes)?
@@RealCivilEngineerGaming RIght, thanks! I would be a terrible highway engineer, I would do literally no more diverges after *any* merge. So a motorway designed by me would probably look something like: first all the diverges, then all the merges. Hey I know, I'll redesign all my motorways in Freeways and see how that turns out XD
Subscribed for paddie!( hope i spelled that correctly) i thoroughly enjoy the content man. makes these complex engineering setups accessible for a simpleton like myself!
In the last one after you redrawed it the cars were still acting like it's an interchange... I guess the flow could be a lot better with a bit more spacing
Played this game for a few days got almost as far as rce, got loads games so gave up to play others and every time you upload this I have to play again lol great vid as always now I’m off to build roads
I'm curious as to whether the creators of the game have heard about your videos and been in touch with you? For something so small and indie, you have likely given them a massive boost in people purchasing it! And the least they could do is add an 'undo' button in the next release!
