Mini Metro #1 ►London 2000+ Strategy and Tips◀ [1080p 60 FPS] Gameplay PC Mac IOS Android 

One tip: Always take tunnels, no matter what the options are. You only get a few chances during the first weeks to get tunnels and you will run out.

"Oh we got a square over here! Thank the lord!" hahaha your excitement level about it was so great.

Ouch. Your acute angles are hurting me. You'd wean out another 500 capacity at least if you got rid of as many of them as you could. Your drawing style makes them by default. You require no additional resources to just be a little careful in drawing the line. Any acute angle station, the train MUST stop, even if it was going to express the station because it had no capacity, or because there was no one to pick up. This slows them down. A LOT. If they're right angled or obtuse, they don't, they wizz past, they get around a lot faster, you get more capacity out of the entire network. It looks better too! Replace all your concave segments with convex ones and see how much better the entire line does. And yes, you can just unhook a station in exactly the same way you've been hooking them.

you can click on the line circles at the bottom, an X will appear and if you click it the whole line will quickly be deleted

You transfer vehicles from one to another line in tricky situations. I rather hold one line, one locomotive and one bridge/tunnel always in reserve. I call the reserve line "taxi line", because I use it very flexible to transport passengers from any station to any other station. Whenever a station gets stressed I draw the "taxi line" from the stressed station directly to the nearest destination of the passengers just for the purpose of one single ride - and I remove the line just before the vehicle reaches the destination to get the "taxi line" back into reserve before the vehicles returns to the first station. The vehicle will still unload all passengers even if I have already deleted the taxi line on the map. The locomotive starts always from the stressed station, if I draw the taxi line from there, so I get always an immediate relief. With the bridge/tunnel in reserve I can back up all stations over the map. I press the pause button a lot to use the taxi line as much as possible. Later - when a couple of stations blink at the same time - I consider to hold another second "taxi line". It helps me to manage a not perfectly balanced system at least until the next break, so I can still adjust my regular lines with the Sunday supply.

You were out of tunnel for so long, I was thinking, why not have 2 central station, one northshore and one southshore and then just one line looping across the river, so you can spend all your week bonus on anything but tunnels.

Usually I'm not big on commenting, but here it is. Also, usually I don't buy games after watching only 1 video, but guess what I did after your first video on this game? I love this game! And I really like watching you play, please continue.

One thing, little hint for you. If you make a circle line around a river, you'll need need 2 tunnels, but if you make a linear line you just need ONE tunnel. So dont make circle lines around rivers. You need to make a mix of circle and linear lines. And by the way, make the locomotive run in different directions when you got circle line

The most important thing, if you have multiple stations of the same kind at a cicular-line in a row: have two trains in opposite direction, so they pass a different one as the last of the same kind, because otherwise you always fill the trains in the first station, while the last of the same kind gets overloaded to gameover

"Your *underground railway* has insufficient tunnels."

You can just pull the line off of individual stops. Don’t need to un-draw the entire line. Also if you’re wanting to un-draw an entire color at once, just pull up the color on the bottom and there’ll be an x there. Click that and that entire color will be removed. Makes resetting the lines super easy.

Awesome! I really enjoyed watching you play this! :) Oh btw I'm sure you've figured it out by now but if you want to redraw a line, a quicker way to do that is to click on the colour of the line in the bottom window which brings up an 'x' on that coloured circle, which if you click it, completely erases that line for you so you can start again. :D

I somehow managed to get over 2k on one of my first playthroughs. Haven't even been able to crack 1000 since

If you're doing a hub like this, have the uniques right after the hub so they get off quickly and free your trains for everything else. If it's at the end, then the trains are full of uniques and can't pick up passengers in their own line.

One tip from me: try to keep your angles through the stations at 90° or greater. You can drag the tracks to follow a different path from station to station sometimes. Trains will always stop if it's sharper, even when there's no one waiting. That'll get rhe train moving faster and thus moves more people. Edit: Fun fact: I got a score of more than 2,000 on Osaka on my first try lol

Osaka is probably the most fun, since it can have 2 different types of trains. Also, endless mode is a bit less dependant on RNG, so it's probably better to show the advantages of different strategies. You can just let the game fill the map with stations, then try different layouts (or different mixes of trains and carriages) and compare the maximum number of passengers that each strategy can move per day.

This game seems so simple but extremely entertaining. I was actually on the edge of my seat. Played a similiar game involving an airport. But the easy editing and playability of this I could see keeping you coming back to play. Please do more cities, Skye.

I remember you saying this game is addicting to play.. well its addicting to watch too haha

“Gotta drop off the square passengers” so they can sit, read their book while wearing ponchos, puffed jackets and peace signs.

Thank you for this great video! I learned something new. The advice about circles and petals of a flower are really useful. (My own record is 1200 at the moment.)

Great video.. great commentary & tips... thanks

You can select the colour you want down below, and then press the X, that makes deleting lines much easier.

Yes a series on this would be awesome

who thought this was a video about the real London metro, I enjoyed the game however

I play on mobile, I didn't even know that there was a PC version

I kept screaming THERE ARE NO TRAINS ON THE PINK LINE

One of best if not the best video guides out there. Thanks!

Great vid - thanks. I wonder when the replacement bus service will be implemented!

i was wondering how long it will take Skye to notice that there is no train on the pink line...

I think you had a bit of a blind spot for the light blue track. It was running nearly empty with 2 trains just about the whole game, you never took a train from there :P

Was hitting 1,000 consistently before watching your video, now hitting 2,000 isn't very hard. 2,122 high score already - thanks

Love this little game and you play it like a Master. Thank you!

I feel like this game only makes sense if you've used a train transit system before

You dont need to click on the start of the line every time you want to change it, just drag it from wherever you need to :)

Just started playing and already love the game. Also very informative of how the people go to any station of the shape, not one specific one as I assumed.

I was really enjoyable watching you play this - you have convinced me to get the game.

My god the game is like super therapeutic at the start but it goes into disaster when there are too many stops and too little locomotives hahaha

I enjoyed watching you play. You gave a lot of good advice. Thanks!

Man... your voice is so calming (if there is word as calming :) ) . I just play the game you talking on the background :). I am not even playing the same map but whatever. Just using you as a calmer :)

i followed this guide and got bottom 25%, thanks!

11:30 I would have this point put in a, express ringline, if you had the tunnels to afford it. Picking 4 or 5 or the outermost stations and making direct connections to take pressure off the main network.

You know, you shouldve picked the line at week 9, from what i understand about the game (Which may be terribly wrong) that wouldve guaranteed you tunnels because the game cant let you get more lines than you have at max.

Great Video! Please Play Osaka next time :)

You just made me buy another game... But i love it. This game is soo awesome I got 3000 in my 2nd round. But it was in Paris. Please play this more often and in other cities too:)

There are no squares in the south, ever. Love this game, never made beyond 1200 though. Some gentleman mentioned about angles here, gonna try that to increase the speed of the trains.

I think I should get this as watching this was addictive. Nice video. Like a tutorial :)

Try this: use 1 big line south of the river, stack all carriages there, it needs only 2 tunnels hopefully. With the remaining lines you should be able to handle northern half, 1 locomotive each

Nicely played man... Good score

Great video. Really enjoyed it.

This game wakes up my backseat gamer so much haha

Great video! This game is a lot of fun.

I really enjoyed your gameplay tips and strategies it really helped me

2nd try with your strategy in London: 2379 passengers ... old record: 1857 ... many thx ;)

Great game, keep playing!!. Also do some Software Inc Please it is an awesome game and came quite high on the poll's. Thanks for the video :)

Tysm this was such an amazing and helpful video 👍🏻😁

I would say the best map,for scoring is Barcelona because you almost don’t need to worry about having tunnels and it also has my high score on it.

Jeez, thats really good. i was never good at this game, but 2000 that is really good

ah I'm glad to see you do some of this I havven't touched it in ages, got addicted when it first arrived on steam, bargain too it was only £5, i really wanna know how people get such high scores with so many circles

I'm losing sleep over this game. Game of the year imo.

Do you still play this? If so, can you make some tips and tricks for Shanghai?

I played it the first time and got 1200 passengers. I think thats pretty good

Circular lines are not always the best. You have to look at each situation on its own to make that determination.

congratulations i am completely stymied and i thought toronto's ttc was a fairly elaborate system of transportaton

Thanks for the video Skye. Was stressed out this week, saw your video, bought the game, and I've had a great few nights playing it!

Tactic? I’ve not ever played the game but I think this will work: Have 2 interchanges in the Centre and have no lines cross the river, other than the one that goes between the interchanges. On the line, add loads of trains w/ carriages.

Thanks! Now I learned a lot. I am already playing better. It´s addictive.

I recommend that you play fallout 4 and amaze us with your built settlement ;)

Wow!!! Loving this game. Thanks for sharing!

Nice vid. Second train should really run opposite the other to maximize efficiency.

Was there not a spare interchange ? (can you move interchanges about later ?) and I would have spun the blue line up to help the yellow station. Obviously the more line, the more demand the more need for trains the more stations the more demand etc.

I'm hooked the first minute I download it. : )

More Mini Metro ! It's amazing!

This game is on cool math games,it’s hard.

This game gameplay is always so relaxing!

I have similar tactics to you. I'm just combining in the line circles and triangles like this way ∆0∆0∆0 and connect it to square station (cuz they less common). And if I have a unique shape station I just make a special line for this connecting to the other lines.

Thank you i learn how to play dear you are perfect 🌺

Thank you so much for this!

Consider having a dedicated track on each side of the river to traffic moving.

1:10 Also, mathematically speaking, those aren't circles 😉 circuits, perhaps. Loops, if you prefer

i really like this video, please do more hehe

and I love your simcity/c:s/anno videos!!

My tactic: Make circle of the main trio in centre Make lines off of it

I scored 2526 (78 days) in London. i.imgur.com/OVks9oQl.jpg 7:23 You should always try to put circles between triangles and vice versa and never put three same shapes together without splitting them. This will help relief the station capacity. In other words, make the sky blue line go through the circle mark is much better.

5:48 why not use the unique symbol as your central point?

Cool game! i started myself to play it also, more vids ty.

That was amazing to watch

Just started. Don't know what I'm doing. But now I feel better about it.

Awesome Skye!

Tbh I never use interchanges as hubs, I use them as basically extra lives.

Didn't know you could pause and change speed! This is helpful.

at 19:55 you could have used the same navy train to fix the problem

I started playing a few hours ago, and got to 3230 (82 days) with 3 huge lines (only 3 tunnels) and supported by one small 'circle line' with a lot of two trains. You should try it u sure will do better than me and my demo ver. LOL!

Maybe use the pink line to connect all the squares only

Just a thought, why not make the special one the central station.

Would a exterior circle work limited connections it Would take stress of the circle lines in the middle

Your voice remember me when I travelled to London en took the tube

Thanks and this game is god damn addictive

Please please do more videos on Mini Metro!

aw man i never thought to pause the game and redraw everything from scratch.

Thank you very much... You taught me a lot... ;D
