Starter generator loop
Place generation first, confirm power is being created, then connect that output to the next settlement target before buying a larger source.
Power a City Progression Guide
Progress by placing generators, connecting power to villages and cities, upgrading only when the grid path is working, and saving exact-rate decisions until better source data exists.
Quick answer
Power a City progression is a qualitative generator-to-village-to-city path
Follow the official power-to-settlement language: place generators, create power, connect energy to the city, power villages and cities, earn cash every second, build a bigger grid, and unlock better energy sources.
The high-view stealing-power mechanic is only a watch item until reviewed evidence confirms it. Milestone numbers are labelled unknown, including exact output, upgrade costs, and unlock thresholds.
Progression map
Advance checkpoint by checkpoint
Every stage needs a visible move-on signal.
- Stage 1
1. Confirm generation
Start from the visible generator loop: place a source, watch power build, and avoid spending ahead of the first working connection.
- Stage 2
2. Connect the grid
Send power toward the current village or city target. If the target does not respond, treat connection placement as the problem before blaming income.
- Stage 3
3. Convert power into cash
Use cash growth as the signal that the loop is productive, then reinvest in generator, storage, speed, or source choices shown in your current session.
- Stage 4
4. Move to better sources
Unlock stronger energy sources after the current setup reliably powers the settlement path. Do not copy exact thresholds unless a dated official, in-game, or reviewed source confirms them.
Decision basis
Know why the account should advance
Grid and cash checkpoint
Progression should improve both coverage and income. If cash rises but the village or city is still not powered, check the grid path before upgrading again.
Energy-source upgrade timing
Use better energy sources when the current generator setup no longer fills the next objective fast enough. Public sources still do not support exact output or cost tables.
Recovery
Fix the current issue
Progress feels slow
Check whether the generator is producing, the grid is connected, and the settlement target is the right one before buying another upgrade.
Cash rises but city does not
Treat this as a routing issue. Recheck the power path and settlement objective instead of assuming a hidden rebirth or prestige step.
Source claims disagree
Use official Roblox identity and dated guide snippets for context, but keep video titles and same-name game results as unverified leads only.
Evidence boundary
What not to assume yet
Use public sources to choose the next task, but keep exact progression constants out of the guide until they are verified.
Supported
Generators, created power, connected energy, villages, cities, cash per second language, bigger grids, and better energy-source goals.
Unverified
Exact generator output, upgrade prices, unlock thresholds, and any rebirth or prestige timing not shown by a stronger source.
Next action
Open the grid guide when the city is not receiving power, or the generator guide when the current source no longer keeps up.
