Keeping AI guests happy
Tips
The AI guests wander your station by themselves, stopping to sit, shop, and eat wherever those things are available. Watching where they go — and where they never bother — tells you exactly where your station needs work.
- Put benches and seating in several spots so guests always have somewhere to rest.
- Divide the station into clear zones — waiting area, food, shops, restrooms — so guests spread out rather than clumping in one corner.
- Keep corridors wide; tight passages make movement look awkward and guests struggle to get through.
- Pick a consistent color theme for walls and floors so the station reads as finished and polished.
- Add level changes with stairs or raised sections to make the layout feel more like a real station.
Visiting other players' stations
Step
