A careful LEGO Skylines feature reference
This page separates direct publisher and developer statements from official store metadata, visible footage, reports, and details that have not been announced. A familiar city-builder mechanic is not evidence that LEGO Skylines includes it.
Confirmed means direct official text. Store listed means an official storefront carries the detail. Reported and unknown rows remain visible so a rumor is never mistaken for a promise.

These statuses are intentionally conservative. Reddit, media paraphrases, interviewer wording, and competitor pages can identify questions for research, but they do not upgrade a row. The direct interview statements above are the only S010 claims promoted here.
