those are meant to go wrong and you're supposed to do your best, after a few cities you get better
if you really want to pull your hair out because you didnt plan correctly just play Anno its much worse as far as management goes
these games get boring real quick tho

That's why I want to do it right the first time.

You should treat the city developments more organically. Build what you need where you best can. Nothing is going to be perfect and that's ok.

Stop being a perfectionist.

I can't. Save me.

I know this pain. You just gotta stop worrying and save the perfectionism for later

Seeing how cities form and naturally work around their flaws it makes them beautiful.

Is Planetbase good?

It's got some depth and a decent tech tree. The grid of domes is a little annoying, though. I'd try it at least.

Try Factorio. It's pretty neat.

I agree with this in the context of fitting into the landscape or one road grid clashing into another. Shit needs to be broken up or you get the grid. I feel what I want involves both to an extent, but artificially done. It's easy for the organic evolution to look like garbage.
Call it part fused-grid, part artist-organic? Regardless its rough to design without having sandbox or prebuild and copy paste or at least select and drag.
