Suggested new features for SimCity BuildIt

Hello, 

Not sure this has been discussed already, but here is a list of what I would love to see and have for SimCity BuildIt, since I've been playing it since 2016:

  • Overhead power lines. (They can be used in the same technique as the roads and railroad tracks drawn with your finger, but as power infrastructure.) Overhead power lines should be in SimCity BuidIt, because that is common in real life in cities in North America; Asia; and Australia.
  • More city expansion tiles for the main capitol city for the northern side. I've seen more of them added on the eastern side of the city in the previous updates. Why not expand them to the north? Since there may be more room needed for the buildings earned from the past Mayors Pass seasons.
  • Railroad bridges are needed for the custom-made water areas in the city.
  • Railroad tracks needs to be double-tracked, instead of single-tracked for realism.
  • Buildings earned from the Mayors Pass should categorized as certain specializations and services (example: Entertainment; landmarks; transportation; Beach; etc.). 
  • A railroad freight station should be placed outside of the city limits next to the airport and trade depot for exchanging items.
  • Railroad connection to the outside of the city is needed besides the road connection.

These are my suggestions for SimCity BuildIt, if EA sees this, then these should be added in the next updates of the game. It would be awesome to have them in the game as well.

  • Yes these were put forward by some one else but not about the overhead power lines. I don’t think that would work to well as you’ll need space to put them in like you do with trees etc. 

    Double rail lines I think are being developed now and should see them soon and I too would love to see a freight train going to the airport but, unfortunately my trains are in Sunny Isles and Frosty Fjords as I couldn’t put them into my cap city without removing a lot of buildings etc.

    Another thing I would like to see is a freight yard with freight trucks to add items to them and go from station to station delivering factory and shop items and using the existing train.

    Overhead power lines shouldn't take too much space, since the width of the draggable right of way is the same as the roads and railroad.
