How a masterplan works

  1. 01

    A real reference

    Every new line starts from a real place — a prefecture, a station, a river valley — pinned in the Atlas.

  2. 02

    A written ruleset

    Station spacing, road hierarchy and zoning limits, fixed before the first road.

  3. 03

    Documented stops

    Each episode gets notes, chapters, mods used and before/after numbers on this site.

  4. 04

    Open save files

    Patreon members download the save at every milestone and build alongside.
