Role in the city
Small service buildings are budget-friendly local coverage. They are ideal for the first working district and tight spaces.
Placement advice
Place them where the radius touches active buildings, not future empty land. A central 1x1 slot can cover more than an edge placement.
When to build or upgrade
Build once utilities are stable and citizens are present enough for service risk to matter.
