Map Editing Tools for Player
With the tools of the map editor, you can found new cities, buy houses and industries, and connect or disconnect industries.
The menu can be opened via a button in the
Special Tools menu.
Forgoing the follow-up tools can increase the challenge and difficulty of the game. However, they can also be used to tailor the game. Realize building situations that are practically impossible to achieve with auto-generation. Planned cities, or recreated real cities, can be more aesthetically pleasing than those randomly generated by the computer. You can also use these tools to design a virtual model railroad and deliberately place all elements. Difficult situations can also be deliberately created, such as a dense and difficult-to-manage industrial area on an island. A tourist resort with its attractions in a remote mountain location. An adventure park with high visitor traffic near a small town. Oil production only on select coastal strips, or agriculture as a focus in a vast rural area. These are just a few examples of the many possibilities.

Found New City: If you wish more cities on your map, you can use this tool to found a new
city. The city will be built wherever you click with the tool.
Caution: Each city costs you a lot of money.

Build Industrial Facilities: Opens the
Build Industrial Facilities dialog. Unfortunately, the program for PAK128.german often builds incomplete factory chains. We recommend not waiting too long or hoping that the program will eventually build the missing factory, but building and connecting the missing factories yourself.
· Connect Industrial Facilities: This tool can be used to connect industries. This only works if a commodity connection is possible. If an existing connection is reconnected while holding down the Ctrl key, the connection will be severed. This can prevent unwanted cross-connections. Unfortunately, the factory chains in PAK128.german are often incomplete. One way to fix this is to procure the missing goods from other factories. So, create connections to factories that have the required goods.
Reforestation Tools While clearing work involves costs, Simutrans provides you with seedlings for reforestation free of charge. Beautifying the landscape can be an appealing task. However, ecological aspects are not currently implemented in the game.
· Plant Tree: A random tree is planted.
· Reforest Forest: Mark an area on which a circular forest will be planted.
· Rivers: Anything from a stream to a large river can be placed here in the landscape.
· Company Headquarters: Build your company headquarters or expand an existing one. Please note that you can only have one company headquarters. If you build a new headquarters in a different location, the old one will be demolished at a cost.
