As an architecture student who's turned "it's now the engineers' problem" into a running joke in the classroom... I can't blame them for putting all of us on the poo island.

"Welcome to the city!" "Whats that awful smell?" "Energy"

I learned this long ago: Any game of Cities Skylines inevitability becomes about fighting with the water physics

Watching this series devolve from "I'm going to use my engineering knowledge to make a realistic city" to "How else can we make this city the biggest meme" is one of my favorite things ever.

As a Wastewater Treatment Operator I approve! Those would be considered a step lagoon system. If you could put something to treat the water, like UV or Cl2, it would get treated very effectively.

RCE: "Hello, fellow engineers!" *Me, who tightened the screw on his frying pan handle earlier: "Close enough."

I had this idea of a multilevel continuous dam when I was in the college, but instead of spending energy pumping the fluid up, I made a plan to pass all of it through a black pipe with enough area to absorb heat from the sun just enough to vaporize. As it turns into steam at high pressure and temperature, we all know that hot air goes up. So it goes uphill with no energy debt at all. When the steam reaches the top of the dam, gets directed to heat exchangers to cool down and become a liquid once again to later be deposited as liquid water all the way up to generate energy as gravity pulls it down through the turbines. It may even work in a closed circuit. Basically it's solar energy with great and cheap storage capability without any expensive minerals like lithium or cobalt that requires a lot of energy and environmental damage to be mined, furthermore, the system will have a lifespan of centuries with minimal maintenance

Matt: 'I don't want the trees to die' Also Matt: (vaporises the trees instantly into nothing)

"Dams don't work how I thought they would." -Things You Wouldn't Want to Hear from a Civil Engineer

Somehow he's done it, he made clean energy into the entire opposite thing xD

this dude really turned the RTGame Volcano into a viable strategy, that was fun to watch

imagine getting your first kiss overlooking the city while sitting on the poop dam truly magical

This gives me heavy RTGame vibes as a first time viewer, the main difference being you're actually doing something smart instead of filling your poop volcano with asteroids and flooding a town to the tune of "country roads". Solid content!

"So Matt, what's your city's biggest draw" "Engineering!" he says, pointing at fetid smelling volcano that sounds like a thousand hell engines revving at once, as the populace are still cleaning up the remains of the tidal wave of poop that one time blew through the streets.

13:45 Doc Brown: „1.21 Gigawatts? How am I going to generate that kind of power? It can‘t be done, can it?“ Also Doc Brown looking at the city‘s entire sewage: „Great Scott!“

The idea of humans constructing a massive cylinder like that is more impressive than it being a power plant.

"We have cured the city of architecture" has got to be the most engineering thing I have ever heard and I love it.

The Poonami was absolutely hilarious! One of the best episodes of this series! 😁

Props to this guy for making a 18 minute 11 second video for us about poo
