Understand SimCity's unseen 4x4 zones and how they affect all game mechanics and zone calculations.
Everything in SimCity is divided into calculations performed in 4x4 Zones. Understanding how the unseen divisions in your city work will influence every other game mechanic. The grid is broken into 4x4 Zones, checkerboard style.
Keeping this in mind, it will have effects on all the game mechanics to follow, as the Zones will calculate their value, depending on what is in that Zone, and how many 4x4 Zones they touch.
Tips
- Pay attention to how your buildings and zones are placed relative to each other.
- The value of a zone is determined by its contents and how many other 4x4 zones it borders.
