Blue's Tips and General Info

My tips and info about the game.

General info about the game.

Menu:

• Click on the Question Mark between level 3 and 11.

Hide Your Scores:

• Click on the clock between levels 20 and 43.

Screen Saver:

• Click on the helicopter between levels 52 and 53

Concrete Usage:

• Level 1 = 20 per unit

• Level 2 = 40 per unit

• Level 3 = 60 per unit

Concrete Remaining:

• Look at the truck icon at the bottom left. It will deplete as you use concrete.

Shortcut Keys and Tips:

• a/z: raise/lower the road level

• t: test (analyze, simulate)

• c: clear

• num del: clear

• right click: raise road

• esc: return to map screen

• alt + enter: toggle full screen

Calculate your score manually:

• Multiply your km/h and your complexity. Multiply that by 1000. Divide your answer by the concrete used.

• Example: 104 km/h times 8 complexity times 1000 equals 832,000. Divided by 3080 concrete equals a score of 270.13.

Making backups of completed levels

• Browse your local files via steam to locate your install folder.

• Open the save folder

• Inside this folder is all your saved levels. They are not labeled correctly. Example: Level 2 is save number 41 and Level 10 is save number 42. Below is the list of levels with their correct save number.

Level	Save #		Level	Save #		Level	Save #		Level	Save #
1	40		21	57		41	55		61	3
2	41		22	58		42	64		62	2
3	32		23	59		43	65		63	1
4	30		24	60		44	66		64	0
5	39		25	61		45	67		65	9
6	48		26	52		46	68		66	18
7	49		27	43		47	69		67	27
8	50		28	34		48	70		68	36
9	51		29	25		49	71		69	45
10	42		30	16		50	62		70	54
11	33		31	15		51	53		71	63
12	24		32	14		52	44		72	72
13	23		33	13		53	35		73	73
14	22		34	12		54	26		74	74
15	21		35	11		55	17		75	75
16	20		36	10		56	8		76	76
17	29		37	19		57	7		77	77
18	38		38	28		58	6		78	78
19	47		39	37		59	5		79	79
20	56		40	46		60	4		80	80

• You can save individual levels to go back to in the future by selecting the file and making a copy.

• I recommend that you make a complete backup of the "save" folder.

• If you want to go back to a previous save, first close the game. Then delete or rename the save file within the "save" folder. Copy and paste in the old save file making sure the name is correct. Then re-launch the game. If Steam detects a conflict and asks if you would like to use the cloud save or local copy, select local copy.

Sounds good to me Satse. Thanks for those numbers.

[Satse]

Yes ofcourse I can:

24: 525
39: 784
62: 847

I am doing also detailed guide how to achieve best scores, where I add more clear pictures and giving some tips and comments for each levels.

I would like to link your guide to some general part, if that is okay.

[Let's Go Blue!]

Hey Satse, would it be possible to list the scores for levels 24, 39, and 62. The background colors are making them hard to read. Thank you.

[Let's Go Blue!]

Thank you Satse for correcting the formula for calculating scores. Also, i am updating the max scores to reflect your screenshot. I did not know 46k was possible. Appreciate the info.

[Satse]

From here you can see my current world map, which just broke 46k milestone, if you want to update the max score part of this excellent guide: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2821287852

also I've seen level 4 max 678, level 36 max 421 and level 70 max 618, which are higher than my scores. Also level 70 that 618 is definitely not theorical max, but haven't seen anyone to get higher.

[Satse]

Also score have nothing to do with the junctions. Formula is speed*complexity factor / (concrete used / 1000). Also speed is in calculation more exact value and in end screen it shows only rounded value in end screen.

Complexity factor is based of amount of cars, which are going in level simulation. Not sure the exact formula for that still.

Also regarding concrete usage when doing bridge by buttons, it will not use any concrete for one unit. So up-down ( 2xlevel 1 unit & 2xlevel 2 unit) will use only 60 concrete instead of 120 concrete. Note that 4 times level 1 units will use 80 concrete (4*20=80)

[Satse]

Good guide. My score is 45969 and have better score about every level than what you have seen, so that part is accurate and I am sure that there is still many levels, where score can be increased.
