Services 2.0 is coming!
Greetings, Mayors, and welcome to Services 2.0! Here’s everything you need to know about the new update. Services 2.0 brings upgradeable Service buildings to SimCity BuildIt! This new system makes managing your city’s services more strategic, interactive, and rewarding. ℹ️ Notice: This will be gradually activated for all players. If you don’t see the new features yet, don’t worry—they will be available to everyone soon! The rollout is happening in stages, so keep an eye out for updates in your game. This ensures a smooth experience for all Mayors as the new system goes live. During the rollout, any negative effects from service coverage—like abandoned buildings or unhappy citizens—will be temporarily paused, so you can explore Services 2.0 without worry. Plus, we’ll be sending out special gifts to help you get started and make the transition even sweeter! Here’s a step-by-step guide to how it works: 1. Unlocking Service Buildings As you level up your city, you’ll unlock different types of service buildings—like Fire, Police, Health, Water, Power, and more. Each service type starts with the smallest building, and bigger, more powerful buildings become available as your city grows. This means you’ll always have new options to keep your citizens happy and safe. 2. Placing Service Buildings When you place a service building, it starts at upgrade level 1. Each Area Service Building has a coverage area (the part of your city it can serve). Capacity Service Buildings tell you how many Residential Zones (RZs) the building can support within its coverage area. If you have more homes than your building’s capacity, some won’t be fully served! 3. Upgrading Service Buildings Now, you can upgrade most service buildings! Upgrading increases their capacity, so they can serve more homes. Upgrades cost Simoleons for standard service buildings, and other in-game currencies for special service buildings. You’ll see upgrade stats in the building’s info panel and tooltips, so you can plan ahead. 4. Managing Coverage and Capacity Here’s the trick: every home in your city needs to be covered by a service building with enough capacity. If a service building’s capacity is maxed out, extra homes in its area won’t be served, which can lead to problems like abandonment. One home can be serviced by multiple service buildings —so make sure your upgrades and placements are strategic! 5. Bulldozing and Refunds If you need to reorganize your city, you can bulldoze the standard service buildings. You’ll get a partial refund based on the building’s level. Special service buildings can be stored but not bulldozed. 6. UI Feedback and Service Demand The game’s UI will help you manage your services. You’ll see icons and stats showing the service demand, so you know when it’s time to upgrade or add new buildings. In addition, use your city's Report Card to spot any issues! If something's wrong—such as homes not being served—you’ll see problem icons and receive guidance through the Report Card, making it easy to identify and resolve problems quickly. 7. Progression and Strategy As your city grows, service demand increases. You’ll need to keep upgrading and adding service buildings to keep up. This new system adds more depth and goals, making city management more interesting and challenging.

New Train Gameplay: Train Deliveries
Hey Mayors, Train Deliveries introduce a brand-new progression system and expand train gameplay with deeper strategy, new rewards, and more ways to play. Players can now participate and grow their rail network like never before. Train Cars Train Cars are a new addition that expands how you manage your rail network. Train cars are unlocked through Mass Transit HQ (Transit ranks). Once unlocked, they can be purchased in the RailSimoleon Shop using: SimCash RailSimoleons Car Types There are 11 new train cars, divided into: Passenger Cars Cargo Cars Each car type plays a role in fulfilling deliveries and dispatches, adding more strategy to your gameplay. The number of cars player can configure to a train depends on a train and train level Car unlocks: Passenger Cars unlock at mass transit levels: 3, 10, 20, 30, 40 Cargo cars unlock at Mass Transit Levels: 2, 5, 15, 25, 35, 45 Once you unlock specific car, you receive one copy of it and then it becomes available in the Train Shop Each car is responsible for transporting specific types of passengers or cargo. You can have multiple train cars of same type Train Deliveries Train Deliveries are the new core feature of the Train gameplay Train Deliveries are the main source of progression for both: Mass Transit rank Train Pass Delivery requirements scale with your Mass Transit rank, after you unlock more train cars, becoming more complex over time. Deliveries, depending on the type require: Specific train cars Specific items Specific types of passengers Specific train type Required car type is indicated in the Train Delivery Don’t like the current delivery task? You can reroll it by watching an ad or with a simcash. Deliveries are time based. There is usually plenty of time to complete them. However if you run out of time you can extend the timer by watching ads or with simcash. Players can dispatch multiple trains towards the same Delivery as long as the Delivery criteria are met. (cargo or passenger type, car type etc) Delivery Slots The number of active deliveries you can run depends on your Mass Transit rank. All players must progress to unlock additional delivery slots. An extra delivery slot is always available via a small in-app purchase and it lasts until the end of the train pass. Train Deliveries vs. Train Dispatches Train gameplay now offers two complementary systems: Dispatches and Deliveries. Train Dispatches Players can continue dispatching trains as before. Even if there is a delivery active, players can decide to simply dispatch trains with different passengers and items. With dispatches players can earn Railsimoleons and Train Pass points but cannot progress in Mass Transit ranks Dispatching now includes transporting: Passenger types Cargo types (industrial and crafted items) To transport materials and passengers you must equip the correct train car Mass Transit Mass Transit is now available to all players, offering a shared progression system centered around train gameplay. All players begin at the same Mass Transit starting rank. Progression is driven by completing Train Deliveries (not regular dispatches) Your Mass Transit rank determines how many train delivery slots you have available and what train cars you have unlocked. As you progress, you’ll unlock additional delivery slots, allowing you to complete more deliveries at once. Progression tied slots remain unlocked permanently. Advancing through Mass Transit ranks unlocks valuable rewards, including: New train cars RailSimoleons Rail Tokens Extra delivery slotsUpdates to Train Stations
