Getting your first city off the ground
Step
You start from nothing. Place a road before anything else so your citizens have somewhere to drive. Once the road is down, add the basic buildings your citizens need and check your resources before going further.
- Lay a road place at least one road segment to give citizens a route between destinations.
- Check resources see what you have before committing to any building.
- Place essential buildings pick the facilities citizens need and put them somewhere the road already reaches.
- Open the development tree find out which buildings are close to being unlocked so you can set an early goal.

Resource management
Warn
Every building costs resources, and running out stalls your whole city. Before you place anything, check what the building requires and confirm you have enough.
Keeping citizens happy
TipsCitizens drive through your city to reach their destinations. If a facility is missing or a road doesn't connect properly, you'll see it in their behavior and in your happiness rating.
- Watch where citizens are driving to spot which facilities they're trying to reach.
- Check happiness after placing a new building to see whether it made a difference.
- Trace the road network from a building to its destination to make sure the route is actually connected.
Roads and terrain tools
Table
Mini Cities 2 gives you curved roads, free-place roads, a terrain editor, and a block editor.
| Curved roads | let you follow hills or bends instead of forcing a grid onto uneven ground. |
| Terrain editor | raises and lowers the ground so your city has hills, valleys, or flat platforms. |
| Block editor | adds custom structures and decoration beyond what the standard buildings provide. |
| Road layout | needs to connect every building to the network, not just look good from above. |
Progressing the development tree
