How to Arrangement Buildings, Workers and Transport

Сrеdit gоеs to Delle(DK)!

Every building has a walking person icon, where you can see to what it is connected by foot. If it is connected by foot to a bus stop or an apartment building/house the you should build roads or footpaths to connect this.

Then, if you force people out on the bus stop and do NOT load people at that bus stop, you have transferred them and they will find a location to work from that bus stop.

You force people to go to the bus stop where they are collected by assigning the bus stop in the flat menu as designation for the adult workers.

• Do not send too much people, they will become jobless.
• Every building has about 3 shifts to mimic morning, evening and night so set the frequency of your bus to match this (this is depending on the distance traveled and speed of the bus).
• I place the small heating plant ~300 meters from appartments and give them asphalt walking paths straight to the flat so it has continueous access to labour.
• Be aware of polution – that can kill whole appartments when they are too close and within radius of polution to the heating plant.

Some Tips

When it come to critical buildings like the powerplant, heating it is best to place residential buildings within 300m so they can always walk to work and dont need bus/train to go to work. They can always walk to work vs they cannot use transport if there is no power or fuel.. So being able to walk is a failsafe that work always.. Also you save money for transport

If you click a building you can click and button and select where they should go to work. Example 33% to the heating plant, 33% to the power plant, 33% to the firestation.

• In general i always have some building that i manualy say where people should go to work (hospital, firestation, heat plant, water pump and water cleaning, powerplant).
• The rest of the people can just go where they want.
• Another tip you can in a building select how many workers that should work there.
• This can be handy example if example a school is only 50% filled with children then you dont need so many teachers and they can go work somewhere els instead.

A super tip regarding transport

• Build a “bus end station”.. its a special bus parking area (you can even refuel it).
• Next make a bus route from bus stop a to bus stop B and then end at bus end station.
• This will make the game automatic space out your busses so there is an better and equal distance inbetween your busses so they dont get to close to each other.
