A city in the center of a maze is a nightmare to navigate. It is best to have city hall in the middle, and narrow streets rather than straight ones. If you want a more exciting city, you could expand it underground. This way, the population would grow underground as well. Aside from that, it would be easier to keep track of traffic by adding windows and tunnels. It could be a third dimension to the maze.
When creating a city in Survival mode, players should start with basic materials such as good tools, armor, food, and beacons. Once the player has these items, they can build structures. Planning the layout of the city is essential. Before you start building a single structure, you should think about the location where you'll place the buildings. You should also plan out big features of the city. Plan out where you'll put them, and which ones you'll need.
