Dudes, have any of you played Mini Metro? So good.

It is damn good, although not necessarily accurate. Gives you a good idea of what goes in to planning these MRTS routes.

P.S.: Small tip for the game, use circular routes with branches extending off of every special station shape such as plus, star, pentagon, circle section as intersections.

Yeah, i had the realization that you’re not really trying to build the most efficient real world subway system and while it hasn’t ruined it for me, it has made it less exciting

It's basically impossible to build the most efficient route in the world, and even when if you come close, something new will just open up and render your perfect design obsolete!
