This could be interesting paired with the documentation posted: https://github.com/dfloer/SC2k-docs/blob/master/simulation%2...

In the video you posted, the host talks about Magnasanti a project to create the perfect city (in the eyes of the game). There is no crime, abandoned buildings, or traffic. A population of 6 million with no hospitals, and no public funding except mass transit and police. Ultimately we can see that the game does not reward citizen happiness, but industry.

The "black box" nature of the simulation within SimCity is fascinating, thank you for the rabbit hole.

That's kinda the problem with some actual city planning, running it as business instead of service

The guy has a checkbox next to his name on that channel. You know what that means, right? It means useless shill who will never tell you the truth.

Go ahead. Find me a single person on youtube who has a checkbox next to his name who will not only tell you about piracy, but will actually LINK THINGS to you directly.

They never do it. They'll talk about the PC port of Mario 64 but they'll never link it to you. I hate them. They're scum. They're like FCC regulated news stations who come to the internet and continue to censor things even though the internet is not FCC regulated and you can ACTUALLY show the uncensored material.

God I hate youtubers and especially the checkboxes.
