Overview

Farms was originally an area with residential to the West and farmland in the middle, with an open, unplanned area to the far East. Two avenues on either side of the farmland functioned as low-speed highways that connected Farms to Residential Evil and Industrial to the North. Farms was also connected to Residential Evil by rail that runs past the residential area.
The city was boring and stagnant.

When the mayor in neighboring city Industrial made a conscious decision to upgrade their rail with viaducts and improved stations (NAM), the mayor of Farms jumped on the bandwagon and replaced the avenues with proper highways (RHW). The transition was nothing but problematic. With inexperienced workers unable to build intersections and FLUPs mayor Wournos III decided to interrupt the highway with roundabouts - eight in total, four on either side of the farmland. Traffic would keep flowing with minimal congestion despite this choice.

The farmland underwent improvement (SPAM) that resulted in a greater variety of crops. In an attempt to speed up goods transportation the rail road crew built a line from Industrial that cut through the farmland down the South and out of the city. The rail has changed since then. Now it splits at the border to Industrial and pass through Rural Forest, the previously open unplanned area, and turns west and connects to the line that pass alongside Farms’ residential area.
