This section provides everything you need to build maps for SubwaySim 2 — from creating a new level to preparing it for use in the game. Here you will learn how to set up a level, migrate assets, define track structures, place tracks using the Railtool, configure AI timetables, and finally prepare your map for packaging and use in SubwaySim 2.
