City Blocks
At this point you’ve probably started getting invaded by biters, so make sure to research military and gun turrets. Take out nests by dropping a couple of turrets and ctrl+right-click some ammo on them. Keep creeping closer with more turrets until you overwhelm them.
Use a 50x50 city block with absolute positioning with stone road border to see the grid from map view. Slap these down everywhere as this will be the grid for all construction going forward. From the map view lay out the bus and iron and copper smelting. Everything will be built off that. Initially make sure that the steam power block is north of the starting water source, and the northern most iron and copper furnances are be free of obstacles.
Train stations will be east of iron, and west of copper/stone, but hopefully by then the initial resources will be mostly mined, and landfill will be available for any water in the way (cliffs are a longer term blocker).
