I just started Cities: Skylines today. Is there anything I should know? (kbin.run)

Especially stuff not mentioned in the tutorial, or that isn't intuitive at all. If it is relevant, I just hit Worthy Village (the one you get after schools/healthcare/garbage/taxes) and saved and quit to go eat dinner. I've enjoyed my time so far.

My number 1 mistake is not spreading out enough. You have 9 tiles with vanilla don't try to use 100% of each tile.

Don't be afraid to bullzone an early game neighbourhood to make room for something later on.

Walking and cycle paths are OP. Make your city walk/cycle able and your traffic will be less of a headache. You can use mini city parks to get $5 for every time a Sim uses a footpath.

The goods production path is odd.

This number 1 mistake, as well as misplacing, bulldozing, and replacing expensive buildings is exactly how I ended up restarting my first city, 30 minutes into the game ;-;
