Explore the City Layout and Find Key Locations

Understanding the Street Grid

Spawn into the city and take time to walk the main roads without rushing. The streets are designed to connect logically, so following them will help you build a mental map. Note major intersections and landmarks—these become reference points for navigation. Pay attention to which areas have residential zones, commercial districts, or open parks.

Identifying Building Types

As you explore, categorize what you see: apartment complexes, shops, offices, parks, and community spaces. Some buildings may be empty shells ready for your use, while others are pre-decorated. Take screenshots or mental notes of locations you want to return to later. This reconnaissance helps you decide where to settle and what resources or spaces are available nearby.

Planning Routes with Friends

If you're playing multiplayer, explore together and discuss which areas feel best for shared activities. Identify central meeting points or gathering spaces. Note any open plazas or parks where you could establish community areas. Understanding the full layout early makes it easier to coordinate roleplay scenarios and ensures everyone knows how to find each other in the city.
