Demand Developer lets you create new demand points or expand existing ones directly from the map. Adding Residents creates matching workplace demand elsewhere; adding Workers creates matching residential demand, keeping new development connected through commuter flows.
Version 1.1 adds University and Airport demand, connection previews, and more natural commuter planning for larger developments.
- Expand existing points by +200, +400, +600, +800 or +1000 Residents or Workers, or create new points.
- Create and expand University and Airport workplace demand.
- Review planned commuter connections before Build.
- Show all existing commuter connections for a selected point, including connections the base game does not display.
- Follow the map's existing commute patterns when deciding how many connections to create and how large they should be.
- Spread larger developments across suitable connections instead of concentrating them into a few oversized flows.
- Track spending, active demand and map growth, and remove development created by the mod.
Install Demand Developer through Railyard, or extract the release ZIP into the Subway Builder mods directory. Enable it in Settings > Mods and restart the game.
The Demand Developer button appears in the top-right toolbar after a city is loaded.
Choose Existing point to expand a point already on the map, or New point to create one. Select Residents, Workers, University or Airport, choose an amount, then use Review before Build.
Show existing displays the current commuter connections of the selected point. Review and existing connections are drawn according to the size of each commuter flow.
Most new points must be placed on valid land near existing demand. University and Airport demand use their own connection rules so they can draw from a wider area when appropriate.
Development is paid from the city budget. Base prices depend on local demand density, so denser areas generally cost more.
Only the first +200 of a new point receives creation surcharges. University and Airport demand have higher rates than normal residential or workplace development.
Map growth is the active demand added by Demand Developer compared with the map's original demand. Every additional 0.1% of map growth increases future development prices by 1%.
