It’s better to save up some coins and go straight for the Deluxe Fire Station, which costs 21k. While you can build smaller ones at first, I consider them a waste of money. Level 6 is dangerous, since this is where citizens will demand Fire stations. There is only one rule: build Wind Power Plants and Water Towers as soon as they are required. You basically build Rs, upgrade them as they appear, build first two stores etc. You can freely level up as you wish until the Level 5. Since those buildings take up 3x2 area, I use the remaining row of 1x1 areas to place water towers and small Wind Power Plants.

Government buildings are in-between, since they are not affected by pollution. Industry is far to the right, to avoid contaminating the Rs. Sprinkled between them are Hardware and Building Supplies Store but they don’t have to be there. Also, make sure to move the industry as much as possible to the edges of the map.įirst – group all the R areas in the same corner, towards the beach. Your initial target is just build up and expand until you can cover roughly 24x24 area with just residential areas (R) and few required utility shops. Then later make sure to connect that account with your original one and use the new one as some sort of expanded storage and feeder city. The good folks at r/SCBuildIt – especially the very helpful Katdanzer – recommended to start a new city, under new account. I was increasingly frustrated in last year or so since I used up all my possible expansion slots and essentially got stuck with no room to expand. I’ve been playing SimCity BuildIt for years now.
