  • Fixing Future Roadway Issues with Proper Roadway Hierarchy | Verde Beach 96
    Hello everyone and welcome back to Verde Beach! I have made some SIGNIFICANT errors in judgement when building the roadway network near the Fusion Power Plant. Today, we're going to fix the hierarchy issues made in the last one, which will result in rebuilding a portion of the interstate, upgrading a controversial bridge, and reconfiguring an arterial/collector connection near the warehouses. In addition, we'll continue to improve the city near the power plant and name a number of things based on your suggestions. Enjoy!

    In the dual cargo train depot area, while that little stretch of road looked alright, every single road around it seemed to be absolutely clogged with traffic, so I think you might need to reevaluate that area again. It seems the light is delaying trucks trying to drop stuff off at the depot, causing the traffic congestion to simply appear elsewhere rather than actually "fixing" the issue. But maybe some level of congestion is simply unavoidable, I'm not sure.

    I think a normal helicopter stop would be good near the plant. You can imagine government officials wanting to fly to inspect it, not to mention the tourist traffic you'd get for it.

    I know it could be a journey but I think this community around the plant could really use a train line and taxi stand. You never know what big wigs might come from out of town. Additionally, or alternatively if you would consider it, a cargo station directly next to the plant could be a good idea as, given the transport of large quantities of security sensitive materials, a more direct connection to the plant could be useful and could be used to build some industry in the area around the plan which could let you work in the disaster relief building.

    5:28 Instead of connecting the artery into the local road serving the railway cargo hub, why not connect it to the T intersection about 700 feet away? Alternatively you could have relocated the cargo terminals next to the main cargo railway and connect them with two sidings parallel to the railway and a new loop road serving the relocated cargo hubs exclusively. 20:14 The way you have it now unduly congests the surrounding collector and local roads even with a traffic light.

  • @seanmorrow3097
    @seanmorrow3097 Před rokem +34

    Instead of connecting it to the local street servicing the two railway cargo stations, why not just reconnected it to the intersection further to the right at 5:28? Seems that would make more sense...maybe turn it into a roundabout.

  • @OscarBorrem

    Considering the massive output the plant generates, you should evaluate placing a collective UT (Unit transformer) station next to the Fusion plant and connecting it to VB, with another equally sized UT. I think it can be done with some earthquake sensors, some fences, and normal pylons :)

    @chronozoggt217 Před rokem +1

    One thing I have noticed with the powerplant, is that is just seems a bit small for a facility like that.
    On a purely functional scale, the in-game model lacks any sort of fuel storage, support facilities or - crucially for powerplants - cooling. You have put in an office building, but maybe some oil industry storage tanks could be used to house the deuterium needed (which requires a lot of space to store), and some other buildings could be put in as machine shops, maintenance halls, etc. I don't know if vanilla has any nice assets that could be used to signify cooling towers, but these would be a nice addition. Sidenote here: Cooling towers do not have to be the big ones you see often at coal or nuclear plants, they could also be an array of smaller cooling machinery. You can see this version when looking at images of ITER, a research nuclear fusion plant currently being built.
    Depending on the time/era you are envisioning, a powerplant like that would be a pioneer facility - like the aforementioned ITER. If that is the case it would not only be used as a powerplant, but would also provide thousands of scientists with opportunities for research. While most of these would likely work at a partnered institue or University, there would nevertheless have to be more office buildings in the style of the one you already provided, to allow for all the workers that directly work on the machinery and in data acquisition to do their job and enable more widespread research. This would also likely generate need for even more machine halls, as experimental prototype hardware is assembled and maintained. Maybe some university buildings could be used for this purpose? It would not be a stretch to expect LIFT to have institute buildings direcly in the powerplant campus, while teaching is done on the main campus. As an example of a real university, there might be a large main campus where the students are 99% of the time, while another campus will house more specialized and research-oriented institutes alongside things like nuclear research, that might require security clearance. Having LIFT buildings there would also make it easier beaurocratically, as exchanges and partnerships could be conducted with an established university, instead of an independent facility (At least in some countries, only Universities can award Doctorates, so an independent institution would require partnerships in either case).
    This leads me to a third point. If this is to be a scientific pioneer facility as well, the city seems too sparcely populated. Generally, the masses of scientists, doctorate students and even bachelor's or Master's students on their Thesis work, would generate a large need for available, small and affordable housing, often only populated for short amounts of times. Students would only stay for less than a year, while doctorate students and postdocs would generally be there for 1-3 years, maybe a bit longer. Only few would be permanent hires. From my experience, this would generally be served via apartment buildings and similar high-density but low-rise buildings. Only few would be able to afford their own suburban homes, especially when this might be their first paid position, and would generally only last a limited timeframe.

    Great episode! I appreciate how you always end by zooming out to see the full city at night. At that point I usually pause the video to take a closer look and get a sense of how the new development fits into everything else. When doing this today I began to wonder: have you ever thought about doing something with any of the islands in the river? Major development would be incredibly expensive, but perhaps members of the local Audubon society are becoming concerned with the recent industrial expansion of the city and, inspired by stories of the original burning palms national forest back before the big downtown was built and became a glampground, have begun pushing to work to preserve piece of wilderness that is in right in the middle of it all. One particularly prominent member, Julia Myrtle-Johnson (connected to both the old Myrtle Family of Verde Beach and newer residents running Johnson Aggregates), recently came back from a trip to Chattanooga where she had the opportunity to camp on Maclellan Island in the middle of the Tennessee river and wants to create something similar in her home city. With this in mind, she's started a fundraising campaign and has agreed to match donations to the Verde Beach Audubon Society to build a ferry stop, basic fire protection, and some trails and camping facilities on the larger islands between Lewis Shores and Myrtle Heights.

    I get what you were going for with the self-sufficient buildings directly under the fusion plant, but in reality, it is kind of a weird choice.
    Fusion power would be incredibly clean/efficient, and plentiful, so why would you spend the money to outfit your house with solar panels? I get they would use less water, which is one advantage, but still-of all the places in the city, wouldn’t you want the area to be a testament to the incredible breakthrough in the production of what is essentially unlimited clean power?
    One thing you might want to consider though, if we care about being green, is an all-electric vehicle policy throughout the city. Fusion power (like fission), would need to be running all the time. At night, residents could take advantage of the immense surplus power and charge their vehicles, rather than paying for gas.
    Anyway, great build as always!

    Love the content! Finally caught up on Verde Beach.
    I think all the editions in the new fusion plant area were great except I think the shelter being put by the plant seems like a misstep. When I think of a shelter in that area I would expect it to be in case of the plant melting down or some other catastrophe like that. So I’d expect it to be in a place protected from the plant.

    Hi Phil,
    I think the power plant needs some amenities work still. I was going to suggest a fire station in the last one but you added one here. Most plants will have their own emergency response team. There are a few more buildings needed too: A maintenance workshop and offices, a control room (usually some kind of blastproof building for the operators to monitor the unit from), a warehouse for spare parts and spare equipment, a laydown yard (for shipments). The laydown yard would probably just be a gravel patch where some equipment can be stored.
    Also, I don't know about fusion plants, but most plants will have blast radii in which non-blast proof buildings cannot exist. The research center and the emergency response centers would have to be located farther away from the plant, along with the other buildings I described
    One thing in my plants that I wish we had was a better designated shipping entrance for trucks. I hate watching the 18 wheelers try to navigate tight corners in our plant. also the corner on the roundabout going to the bridge is a really sharp turn! bad for any trucks trying to get from the plant to the highway, and probably annoying for anyone else too since you described it as a continuation of the highway

  • @IceDree
    @IceDree Před rokem

    Neat!
    Regarding the utility complex & the dual cargo stations:
    1. If you turn the complex into a cull-de-sac by severing the connection at the arterial, no one will use it as a shortcut & it'll reduce the pressure over there. (Inserting a thinking man meme here)
    2. I think you need to put the roundabout back on, it'll help trucks make a uturn instead of driving inside Johnson's Aggregates to do so. Maybe upgrade the road between the two stations into a collector with a median so trucks don't cut through to the station in the opposite lane and block the roads.

    Also, I don’t know if I’m the only one, but it really bothers me that in these tropical maps the trees in the forests are palm trees. At least in Brazil, palm trees are used as decorative trees, especially in beach front roads. But forest and native areas have huge and voluminous trees, for example in Amazon and Atlantic rain forest. I started a save at this same map, tried some different tropical themes, but none changed the trees.

    I might not have moved the fence that much closer to the powerplant. I could see developing some of that area, but I imagine they'd want a good-sized security zone around it. Distance from the noise pollution would just be an added bonus.

    Seeing as you have (had?) covered bridges in your build, I figured I should give some real world info to do with as you please
    My province (well known for our covered bridges) does a few things with our covered bridges if they become less than useful. If they give a town a place on the map, like Hartland Covered Bridge (longest in the world!) it is kept up to standard as a tourist attraction/novelty, while a higher capacity bridge is built nearby. For other bridges, the road is typically diverged and an up-to-date bridge built nearby while the original bridge slowly degrades and is overgrown (nice opptunity for character and detail for your build!). In some cases, the bridges bring too much charm, or are too costly to replace with a more modern bridge, or simply work for the time being (always in a rural area). Look at the old Hammond River Bridge or the current Point Wolfe Covered Bridge for modern examples.
    Covered bridges bring a lot of character and heritage to a locality, so more often than not nearby residents will want to keep a bridge instead of tearing it down or replacing it.
    Hope this helps if you ever need it!

    Is there a benefit to having a bus service in the Nova area that takes workers to the powerplant? Primarily as a way to minimise private vehicle trips, especially in the new sustainable area as there is not a pedestrian connection. Would be interested to here the pros and cons.
    Also saw you downgraded the buses in the Mataro region due to passenger trips, did you connect those routes to the ferry depot in the end? Might help boost numbers and add a vital connection to downtown Verde.
    Great episode, looking forward to VB100!

  • @harvenkarr

    With all the research that would go on around a fusion plant, the IT cluster buildings have the kind of look that would be a nice visual service, you could place those with pedestrian connection against the fence and then pass through the fence from the IT area to the fusion plant area - you could even gatekeep it with a park gate at each end like you do the road access with the toll roads.

    Hi phil! My brother worked at a lighter factory as a security guard and it have some HUGE FENCE with barbed wire on top of it and seeing how secure a lighter factory is i think you wanna upgrade the fence near the fusion plant but without barbed wires cuz its gonna make it harder for evacuation like my family learnt, sadly my brother died in a fire in that factory while trying to evacuate the workers out and the barbed wired fence prevent workers for jumping out and make it harder for firefighters to rescue them, but i still enjoyed the video keep it up phil!

    the fire watch tower kinda looks like a security defense post which is required at fission plants.

    That new roundabout is fantastic, though it looks a little bland. The centre is crying out for decoration! :-P Also, going onto the local highway (or A-Road as we brits would think of it) is rough, I think there would definitely be slip roads onto it to lessen the angle and increase speed.
    That new development is looking really nice though. And I think you may have forgotten again about that nature reserve you promised a good 50 episodes ago over near the airport!

    Hello CPP, I must ask, because this got me stumped:

    I'm talking about the whole section starting at 4:35?

    Hey Phil, make sure you tone down the number of buses on those new lines, since they're super long (especially to Nova Heights). Looked like a huge knot of them backing up the highway into Nova Heights during the city tour at the end.
    Also gonna echo some of the other folks saying that disaster shelters probably don't belong next to the buildings most likely to cause a disaster if anything goes wrong ;). Fusion likely wouldn't have a fallout problem, but given the energies involved, if something catastrophic happened I'm not sure I'd want to be right next door regardless.

    just a small thing, but you could connect the dam over by the community that winds up the hill to the new community by the power station! Probably wouldn't get a lot of service, but there are a lot of country roads like that in America and it might be nice for through-traffic.

    For future reference @10:30. There's a CZcams who does cities Skylines named Captain_Ahvious. How he did it and how I learned how to make then smoothly was I lower the terrain low to where it's a deep hole. Have the roads bridge over said hole. Then he brings the terrain up to where road was going to be at for a smooth interchange. If you not familiar with him, check him out. Thank you for giving us great content and ideas we can use for our own cities.

    @12:18; simply swap position of the 2 cargo hubs - so that the railbeds are closer to new arterial, putting much needed frontage roads at opposing side of each hub (approx. where the railbeds currently are). Add 2 flyovers to clear the rail/arterial/rail corridor located between the hubs and connect to new frontage roads; add slip lanes at either end to grant access to hubs from arterial at both ends. Edit frontage roads to use one way circulation, creating a continuous loop surrounding the hubs. Hubs are furnished with unfettered access; through traffic isn't hindered and new set up permits looping back.
