No Terrain Editor included, all maps are procedurally generated. But shift-bulldozing can place water on land and land on water. It requires a good amount of money though.
RCI need real path finding connections between them
RCI only commute for “1 hour” and won’t accept any target after that. traffic jams increase travel time. taffic balances out parallel roads, which helps to avoid jams and increase travel distance. rail is much more expensive but got endless capacity (no traffic jam) and is fast and for that reason allows high travel distance.
Maxed out R/C/I requires transport to R->stadion, C->airport or I->port. They can’t access these facilities if there is too much distance and/or too much traffic on the roads.
Also about maxing out buildings, I didn’t know about that before, but apparently the original SimCity did that too: The game calculates the city center and Commercials tend to max out in that city center, increasing population density, which in turn is a pre-requisite for Residentials to max out. They in turn require Land Value so make sure some parks are there or even better a lake, and not too much road pollution. Industry maxes out anywhere, but requires port connection and need access/be accessed by R/I.
I've been playing this and loving it. But I am curious if it also have cheat codes. Does it? I'm not one for cheating, but sometimes it's fun to just toy around (or on a more serious note, it's a good way to test out ideas for better developing of areas on legit playthroughs).

Does this come with the Terrain Editor or some sort of terraforming alternative?

Ah, I figured out I can use the Terrain Editor too to terraform my city before I play it on Micropolis. So either way, that's sorted.
I've run into a problem where zone blocks say they have no access to transportation despite being next to a road or a railway. Why is that?
There’s multiple possible reasons.

Also I’m curious about your city design, please share screenshots ^^

In the original SimCity, you could type FUND to raise additional money.
I’m curious about the city designs you guys come up with! Mine are mostly chaotic. Please share screenshots ^^
Awesome! I loved the old Sim City... what a fun update!
