All I want to see now is the natural followup: What's the worst, slowest, longest and most hellish road Valefisk could come up with.
Even though it's a different game, he has a video about a bus route going 1 way that takes 10 years in-game.

I love how, when thinking of what the best techniques to maximize road fatalities could possibly look like, Vale immediately went for suburban sprawls, stroads, nonsense intersections, and redlining, then proceded to integrate elevated highways and inaccessible healthcare into it. When a maniac wishes to imagine how to maximize deaths on the road, they think of America.
To be fair, stroads are a crime against common sense.
my neighborhood, yes in real life, is a 1.5 car wide road, can barely pass by others, and it leads to a 4 way intersection with A 7 LANE HIGHWAY, like huh???? It's actually hell lmao

On their website, they say accidents are triggered when an accident check succeeds on a road. Meaning it's like a percentage based on factors or whatever. They then select a random car to gain physics and collision and accelerate it in a random direction. Any car hit becomes a physics object with collision as well. Idk if making wacky intersections causes more accidents, but it's still cool as hell.
It would be really ironic if accidents turn out to just have a flat per-car percentage chance of happening. It feels like his intersections where weirdly safe from the stats.
@@asj3419 it is essentially that. Accidents are random, only the amount of cars will differ with the location, since you can involve more cars on an intersection.
@@asj3419 Its a percentage on each road segment. I doubt traffic flow changes it
@@goldenindustriesSo if you made each road of several segments, then accidents would happen more often?
I am thinking that, if traffic accidents are a percentage based on car amount/density, then ironically there would be more accidents on SLOWER traffic. Cities Skylines classically sets speed limits based on the type of street/road, and the slower the speed limit, higher is the amount of cars per kilometer or mile. So basically, making a very crowded, very car-centric city with low speed 4-lane streets could DRASTICALLY increase the amount of cars per mile of pavement and consequently the rate of accidents.
i cant believe vale Gerrymandered the city so he could witness more car accidents instead of just hearing about them
redlining moment
@@grzegorzbrzeczyszczykiewic563this comment and reply are increidble
At least if you work as a hearse driver in this city you can do no wrong. Set off whenever the hell you feel like it and by the time you reach the city someone will have died of old age.
Not even halfway through, but as a Houstonian, I can say you've successfully made Houston 2. Your only obstruction to ultra traffic chaos is not having Houston drivers.
there should be a policy thing you can implement that deletes the speed limit so we can truly emulate Texas and New york drivers
add a "Boston drivers" mod where everyone on the road is a homicidal maniac
Can mix it up with the comatose California drivers. Nothing says safe like going 35 in a 65
As someone from Houston this is a pretty accurate representation of the city, 10/10
It got a little too real when he started making all the residential areas random ass snaking labyrinths with one exit into tollways/freeways. For those unenlightened literally just pull up houston on google maps and look at the roadways for city design lovecraft horror. It's beautiful in a very cursed way.
Bro was just going to say that

I'm disappointed that the corpse pit is just a big hole with some cemeteries in the bottom, and not a chasm with bridges over it where your traffic accidents take place.
I love how near every detail of this hellhole is directly inspired by US-American city design
really makes me feel right at home having come from Arizona. The loop 202 is fucking insane, multiple accidents a day almost every day. I know because I had to take it to school and every morning there was a new accident. Sometimes in the afternoon too. Fun times

If you don't, just know that no one of significance will see it happen until your life is already over as you sit in your smoldering husk of a car. The traffic flies by, hundreds of feet above you. It's a Monday. They need to get to work. It's been happening so often now that they've simply stopped caring. The hearses don't run in this place - burying your dead in the yard is tradition at this point. But no one will bury you. The camera pans over to your lifeless body. A royalty-free "ding" sound effect reverberates across the skies in an ear-splitting cacophony. The uncaring god of the machine deems you unnecessary to the continued rendering of the universe. The camera pans away. You disappear. but fuck socrates was REALLY ballin hard so it was worth it i guess idfk
@@TokuMGTT And now my soul is trapped in the ball pit, forevermore sancionados o7
I love how Vale keeps trying to invent new, terrible highways to cause accidents, but keeps finding that the normal pattern of "stroad" design with one big wide road that has all the services on it is way worse than he can purposefully engineer.
“There’s no wiki I can go to and find the perfect formula for traffic accidents.” I thought you were American Vale, just go outside and take a look at our road layouts.

22:16 I regularly go on trips to rural Vermont, and am happy to confirm that gravel road bridges are totally common. They just lay it onto a concrete & steel bridge the same way they do onto the dirt. During hurricane Irene the wooden and metal bridges made out mostly fine, in varying degrees of being knocked over - but when the nearby gravel one went down it WENT. Looked a miniature, bridge-shaped landslide. Ofc, its not really any worse - its not like you're gonna use a damaged bridge, regardless of what its made of. But the gravel spilling into the water definitely adds something to the, uh... aesthetic?

To be fair to American suburbs, they were designed to be spread out to minimize casualties/maximize survivors in the event that the Cold War went Hot, because even nukes have limits to theur blast radius.

The people using that crosswalk are playing a game of Frogger with their lives every time they step into that intersection.
Oh what an omen it is, that the only structure spawned by default in Valefisk's city was a cemetery.
In the defense of everyone litterally dying to move to Big Harry Legs, that really would be like a heart-stoppingly gorgeous view.
The end theory could also be that the devs aren't in the business of actually rendering accidents happening for a city builder, like it's not *that* kind of game. So accidents are a thing to simulate problems with traffic and road planning, but there isn't anything to see beyond a car suddenly changing it's state to an "accident".
Valefisk: Creates the worst junction imaginable Americans: "I drive through 5 of those on my way to get milk"
So is that why people say their dad went for.milk and never returned
"I have the sinking feeling I'm going to sound sound psychotic" - Vale were you under the illusion you've ever sounded sane?
The most American thing Vale has ever said "We'll have the buses go to neighbourhoods, that'll be hell"
As a Texan, this is very accurate to my average rush hour
I'm dutch and the terror I felt around 14:29 is unreal. How could you do this.
How many car accidents per vehicle? Vale: "Yes"
Should be more like vehicles per car accident am I right?
I want a higher than 1:1 ratio on my desk by friday
@thisguy00 I was thinking how many accidents are on all vehicle records in the city, but yours works too
One article I saw mentioned that a major factor on road accidents was road quality with unmaintained roads having a much higher likelihood of resulting in accidents while newly constructed/modified roads are much less likely to have accidents. P.S. I also suspect that when the game decides a car is going to have an accident it will more-or-less keep its current speed when "going out of control"; which means if a traffic jam car that's not moving gets into an accident, it doesn't actually go anywhere and just rotates a bit
Valefisk scares me with how he wants to cause more suffering than an Urban Planner seeing someone Homeless
Gotta love the deep philosophical discussion in _I Have No City and I Must Skylines._
Vale never fails to create the Kiln of the First Flame in every city building game he plays, quite inspirational
downhill rounded turns that move to the right with an obstructed view leading to sharp left rounded turns leading from the highway your on to another, also make it near a large drop off and if possible with a waterfall nearby
The waterfall helps the city save on corpse disposal.
As a Civil Engineering and Urban Planning student, I can confirm that Vale is truly a pro gamer
I loved it when Vale saved for the Negev in CS2 to clutch for overtime. Those roads didnt stand a chance.
Vale, this is for _SCIENCE!_ You're the first one to go in depth on this mechanic, making you the primary source of knowledge!
That intersection looked like one of those puzzle games where you have to move different cars to make way for 1 specific car
I keep forgetting Valefisk exists until he posts a new horror project and it happens to show up in my feed. Always a treat to see what the most recent monstrosity he's made is :)
They need to add a "replay accident" feature. Maybe right-click on the accident symbol, select "replay accident" and a little window pops open showing the moment of impact and some of the aftermath. With larger cities, it's just not possible to ever get to witness the moment of impact unless you get really lucky. It can help players to diagnose and fix the issue that is causing the accidents.
I like how, during the winter, the cars get covered in snow, but no one uses a snow brush, or even their wipers, so they just drive around seeming blind with their windshields covered in snow, and yet *somehow* still manage to not constantly crash into things.
I am convinced Vale was on the board of directors meeting at Vault Tec on what to do with the vault's in Fallout.
"Have one with human sacrifice". "So we can prove that humans are inherently good and will simply refuse?" "...yes..."

Regardless of the state the game is releasing in, I absolutely love that Paradox works with creators to promote their new games, both sponsored and unsponsored. Reviews from actual CS players will always be preferable to reviews from games journalists.
As someone who lives directly next to houston, this is pretty uncanny how accurate this is.
You have successfully re-created India’s infrastructure.
You should build a city that is 100% on the side of a mountain and offroad accidents ALWAYS have the person fall at the side of the mountain into an inescapable pit, so you can see all offroad accidents piled up in a hole
I love how they are driving with snow covered windshields. Most realistic city builder 🤦
As a civil engineer you make my blood boil with this city
the concept of a malicious traffic engineer is so funny to me
Vale is worried about sounding psychotic when it's just him torturing simulated people. Not realising he sounds psychotic when it's just him torturing his friends.
Valefisk: First time in a while its just me recording, i might probably sound psychotic Vale 5 seconds later: Is casually exhuming an entire cemetary and moving it multiple times
Wow I sure to love typical American city design
This reminds me so much of all your pre 2020 videos. Honestly kind of a nostalgia trip
I see what you meant about "sounding like an absolute maniac" the other day.
I would scream at this traffic but I have no mouth
35:16 Vale says "why would anyone be here" And then describes America
Look guys looook! He said BALLS!!!!!!
I love how Valefisk looks at online resources that say “here’s how to play the game effectively!” And thinks, “If I do the exact opposite, that would be a great video."
I was literally thinking about the story of I Have No Mouth and must scream, literally 30 seconds before opening youtube and being suggested this video. I am truly terrified that technology has somehow accessed my thoughts to give me targeted suggestions.
7:45 water pushing cars around was a feature in the first game, so yeah they probably did do that in the sequel.
This feature is literally the only thing I wanted from the sequel and somehow you’re the first I see actually cover it in detail.
Love seeing an old school "Vale plays a game alone and loses his mind" style video, felt amazing to see again.
As instructor once said: there are no car accidents, only car crashes. Basically saying if you wreck your car, someone was doing something wrong
Vale's nasally laugh get me every time. The amount of fun he is having is evident.
I hereby declare my belief that a torture video playing war thunder stock should be made.
As a wise man once said: “The hole must be dug.”
When valefisk says his next content is 'longer', it is a threat and a promise and has the Jojo's Bizarre adventure ***[MENACING]*** tag floating behind it.
4:31 "I have the sinking feeling I'm gonna sound...psychotic." Okay, several things here, Vale: 1) You've already done many videos where you've convinced all of us you're psychotic in the presence of others, so your reputation precedes you. 2) It seems like you'd really love watching Josh from Let's Game It Out doing this kind of stuff too: making the worst cities and structures imaginable! Watching him might give you some more ideas for videos!
you're *the second* content creator who, after getting early acces to CS2, decided to recreate houston
I'm still hoping to see a Second Annual Joe's Mongoose race video this year, and maybe even a 3rd next year.
That good city you shared clips of looks INCREDIBLE!
The final CS2 update should just be a little button that removes cars from on rails driving, giving them full physics and little driving AIs just so we can see actual crashes and cars trying to struggle up those 70° inclines
10:02 Only Vale could make something this cool and Aesthetic by complete accident.
Vale you should get a job in designing more USA citys
Its always a good day when vale posts
“Build some kind of labyrinth” in reference to city design is an incredibly funny phrase
idea: one way roads only the only connection between the two seperate cities is 20 seperate roads going through a smorgasbord of bridges over roads for no reason to merge onto one road to then split back into 20 roads and some of them don't have ends and just go into circles that you can't leave because it's a one way road
its a good day when valefisk uploads
A true pioneer of traffic accidents
I'd call this episode _"Placebo"_ Taking away the ability to clear accidents, does not mean reducing the likelihood of causing accidents.
Vale's channel motto should be "For the Bit :)"
4:33 dont worry vale you always sound like psycho, alone or with friends :)
Now that's what I call pod racing
"It's time to delete the hospital." "We need more parking lots." Wait are you my premier?
so to create more accidents, based on what devs have said, merging lanes at intersections and high speeds are the largest contributing factors, high speed turns are recipes for launching cars off roads but they have to start slight or they'll slow down too much accidents are like a proc based on random factors; if a car flys off and lands on a road any additional cars below will cause additional accidents
Hey Vale, thanks for making this video, i had a house fire on friday and it is monday. Thanks for giving me entertainment
New York moment?!
It takes you multiple years to make it into the city, it's very possible that you and/or your family members may die along the way, but once you make it there's an amazing view that shows off nature's majesty. Vale just reinvented the Oregon Trail.
