Running out of space?

[Sasha Mason]

I've recently upgraded my first house to scientist, but feel like I've almost completely exhausted all my available build space. I'm a bit worried that whatever requirements the scientists are going to have, I may not be able to satisfy all their needs without importing a lot from the train station. Or, maybe that's the point?

Playing on the "starter map", not sure if I'm overlooking something here or not.
Anyone else also run into a similar issue?

[cswiger]

Nope. I had no problems completing the first two maps and had most of the space unused.

One secret might be in using the +3 / +5 population cards on service buildings which accept two different population tiers. That will really boost your population in the surrounding area.

[Sasha Mason]

Oh there's population cards? I've only seen performance boosting ones and the ones that boost tax income, or lower the workforce, but nothing affecting population yet.

I've just finished the first map. I've built on about half of the map, the rest is empty. I've only bought and used a handful of production items (I haven't paid much attention to them).
Maybe you can save some of the used space?

Here, for possible inspiration:

Have fun with the game.

Oh that looks nice~
Yeah I dunno, maybe my 600 surplus of Tier 3 citizens because I wanted money, now making like 6k money surplus every "turn", I may have expanded too aggressively and so had to scale up production of various goods a lot to keep up with all of that.

Woops.

You don't really need extra workers beyond what buildings need to operate, this is not exactly Anno. I also decided to amass people first, but then where do you spend millions of cash? Train deals don't need that much. Finished first map with only first area full of buildings and some in middle section of second area, less than 50% map full.

You should certainly have enough space to make it all the way, one of the things that saves me a lot of space is also ensuring that all the roads are upgraded, that way you tend to need less of the buildings that need to reach every citizen building

you sure do seem to get crowded and makes it impossible to make good looking cities. Makes me question why there are decorations in the game.
