The Metro has much bigger capacity than Buses, and its Stations have a bigger coverage area. or you can start with the 'extension' and continue using the old metro stations. Rebuild the line, using the old metro stations - you can start either from the end opposite to where you want to add the stations (simply drop a Metro station over the first station of the old line), trace the line exactly as it was, continuing to create 'the extension'.As a result, the track will vanish, along with the entire line, but the stations will remain in their places. Delete the metro track (not the entire line!) - you can do that by selecting the tunnel so you can see where exactly it goes, then find an empty spot (no buildings above), and use the Area Buldozer.There is currently no way to 'extend' a line (that is, add more stations to it), but there is a workaround: Generally, however, metro tunnels can't intersect - they have to pass on different levels (one over/under the other). You can hook up different lines to the same stations and if enough stations are reused in an existing line, the new metro line will use a portion of the metro tunnel already in place. You do that the same way you add lines to the Bus system - by clicking on the Metro station icon and building a new one, or clicking over an existing station, which will trigger the line interface. To finish the first line, simply click again on the last station you've placed. The track can form bridges over bodies of water or ravines but the tunnel to bridge system does not have a very large amount of leeway and needs enough space. Unlike a tunnel, a metro line never needs to come to ground level, if you don't need it to! You can, however, change the depth slightly, as to prevent station placement, and then use the familiar point system for the necessary adjustments.
The process is similar to building a tunnel (using points to change direction and height), and each click will attempt to place another station, unless there is an obstacle on the ground.
When the player places his first station, he will automatically start tracing the track of the first metro line. Note that stations can only be placed at a certain depth - the metro track, however, can also go overground. He can then start placing metro stations - a 40x40m ground building that needs road access, and also has an underground part (so you can't run other tunnels right underneath). To use the metro, the player must first place a Metro Company in the city.
Other transport options are buses, trains, ferries, and subways.The Metro system is similar in complexity to the Bus system. Bridges and tunnels are also part of the simulator. Players can also plop building lots individually.Ĭities XXL allows players to create a road network of a variety of road types at many different angles and curvatures. To create building lots, players can zone an area of the map in which, upon confirmation, individual building lots will be created by the game. The social class chosen for a lot will not be modified by the simulation. Before designating building lots, the game requires players to select which class of residents may live there. Residential lots have four social classes: unskilled workers, skilled workers, executives, and elites. Each of which can have a different density. The game offers the designation of three types of building lots: residential, commercial and industrial.
