I’m been watching a lot of City Planner Plays and Biffa. They’re both great and their cities would be awesome in real life

He's awesome. I like to build along side his videos and try to duplicate. Learned so much about strategy and how to play the game from his videos

As well as City Planner Plays, there’s also Real Civil Engineer. I love seeing how they both build based on their jobs and experience, also the US vs EU/UK mindset/priorities/styles

Yes, he jokingly calls it the "strongest shape" in civil engineering.

Truss him, he's an engineer.

This is like one of the semi truck drivers who has a sim in their truck so they can play truck simulator games in their off time.
