Focegrossa is, in overall, one of the safest settlements in the 1.14 Survival World, thanks to its care with public lighting, the build density and its urban layout. The central neighborhoods of Martesanese and Windkant enjoy an almost zero presence of land malicious mobs, making them safe to stay out at night. In the same way, Pillager squads have never been seen close to the town center in many time. | |||
The main safety concerns in Focegrossa are streets and buildings close to the town ends, which lack of a torch lighted perimeter, as well as tridents thrown by Drowned mobs along the coast line path. In addition, there is not any mechanism or mob to avoid Phantoms attacking players. | |||

This part of the town was considered the most dangerous and less attractive, in part thanks to its industrial buildings, the elevated railways that converge upon arrival at Central Railway Station blocking sunlight and perspective, and empty terrains. In the last months, the area has improved significantly with the growth of the city. | This part of the town was considered the most dangerous and less attractive, in part thanks to its industrial buildings, the elevated railways that converge upon arrival at Central Railway Station blocking sunlight and perspective, and empty terrains.

It is rumoured, according to some testimonials and evidence, that a boat ice rail runs in the deep undergrounds of Focegrossa. However, these versions are not official and there is no station or clear pathway to go to or come from this supposed ice rail. | |||
===Metropolitana ('SubIce')=== | |||
In view of the growth of the city and the increasing time to move to the newer neighborhoods, in March 2020, the Metropolitana, an urban transport system that consists of ice underground tracks, entered service with its first line and 3 stations, from west to east. Currently, a second line is being built, while a third line is projected to connect southwestern Focegrossa with the northern side. | |||

* The city managed to host a maximum of 3 villagers. When the city was griefed, they all went missing. Miraculously, one of them (who had been cured by Munozdav) appeared later in the third floor of a building in central Focegrossa, only accessible by a wooden ladder. He turned into a successful Master level toolsmith and still enjoys the safety of the place he was found. | * The city managed to host a maximum of 3 villagers.
